Hit TV crime thriller Trigger Point was being filmed in Burgess Park yesterday (Thursday, May 18).
The ITV show, starring Vicky McClure, was the best-performing drama of 2022 and was commissioned for a second series earlier this year.
McClure plays bomb disposal expert Lana Washington, an Afghan war veteran working as a bomb disposal expert in London.
Camera crews were gathered by the tunnel leading into the park’s western side for several hours.
Vicky McClure said: “After such a great response to the first series of Trigger Point, we are so pleased to be back! The scripts are filled to the brim with twists, turns, those explosive moments and along with our returning cast and brilliant new cast members it’s set to be an exciting shoot!”
The show is created and written by Daniel Brierley who also worked on Line of Duty and Bodyguard.
ITV said in episode one, Lana is just back from training Ukrainian bomb disposal teams but has not returned to active duty.
The series then starts with a bang when there is a bomb attack in the heart of the capital.
Actors like Mark Stanley (Happy Valley), Nabil Elouhabi (Unforgotten, The Tower) and Kerry Godliman (After Life, Whitstable Pearl) will return this series.
New cast members include Natalie Simpson (North Sea Connection, Outlander) who plays DS Helen Morgan, Julian Ovenden (Bridgerton) who plays Commander John Francis and Tomiwa Edun as Alex (Young Wallander, Trying).
ITV’s Head of Drama, Poly Hill, said: “I’m delighted to have commissioned a second series of Trigger Point and to be working again with Vicky McClure and the HTM Television production team.
“It’s the most compelling of dramas and I can’t wait for the audience to see what we have in store for series two.”
Trigger Point will air on ITV1 and ITVX. There is no confirmed release date but rumours suggest it will be late 2023 at the earliest.
