All you need to know about Martin Freeman’s ‘chaotic but exciting’ BBC show The Responder
There have been so many police dramas on TV, it’s hard to imagine a new concept, but that’s exactly what former copper Tony Schumacher has come up with in The Responder. The series looks at the gritty reality of being a bobby on the beat who has to respond immediately to crimes and incidents in one of the UK’s most deprived areas. The drama takes place over the course of five nights and follows Chris Carson, played by Martin Freeman, an urgent response officer doing night shifts in Liverpool.
