Vicky McClure responds to episode one confusion
After the episode aired, people took to Twitter to wonder why the characters took off their bomb disposal helmets whilst in such close proximity to the bombs, with some questioning the accuracy of the show.
Speaking to Digital Spy, McClure stated that the scene made “complete sense” and explained that the actors had been advised by experts on what to do in the scene. She said:
“[Wearing a helmet] could actually be distracting, depending on the sort of small space that you might be working in. Also, if it was to knock anything, it could just be a dangerous thing. The fact is that if the explosion did go off, that little helmet is not going to help so it’s best that it’s taken away.”
When is Trigger Point episode two being released?
Trigger Point episode two will be aired on ITV on Sunday 30th January 2022 at 9pm. Afterwards, it will be uploaded onto the ITV Hub alongside episode one, which you can catch up on now.
