Martin Freeman on The Responder | BFI Radio Times Television Festival 2022 Q&A

Martin Freeman, writer Tony Schumacher and Executive Producer Laurence Bowen discuss the BBC’s uncompromising and challenging police drama series. Viewers loved The Responder for its authenticity and unflinching realism. Written by ex-police officer Tony Schumacher, the series held a mirror up to the emotional extremes of life on the front line of British policing, sometimes darkly funny, sometimes painfully tragic, always challenging. Martin Freeman excels as Chris, a crisis-stricken, morally compromised, urgent response officer tackling a series of night shifts on the beat in Liverpool.
