TV Show directory - The Responder
The Responder is ex-police officer Tony Schumacher's first original story for television, and is drawn from Tony's real-life experiences as an urgent response officer.
Excitingly, the first picture (above) from the series has now been released, indicating that it won't be too long before the show is screened.
The series closely examines the emotional, often heartbreaking extremes of modern day policing, told from the perspective of someone who's seen it all firsthand. The BBC has revealed that the series will focus on both victims and perpetrators, adding that it's as much about life on the streets of Liverpool as it is about the police.
Martin Freeman leads the cast of The Responder, starring as Chris, a police officer who is trying to save his marriage and keep his head above water. His character has been described as "crisis-stricken, morally compromised" and as an "unconventional cop".
