We finally have some photos of brand-new six-part thriller Trigger Point, the new crime series which sees Line of Duty star Vicky McClure reunited with creator Jed Mercurio and London Spy’s Adrian Lester.

Trigger Point follows the pair, who play members Lana Washington and Joel Nutkins of the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad. The duo, who previously served together in Afghanistan, are appointed to try and stop an escalating terrorist threat in the English capital over the Summer.

Vicky McClure shared some images from the set of the highly-anticipated series with her fans on Twitter.

She wrote: "Meet Lana Washington and Joel Nutkins! We're off to an explosive start!! Can't wait to reveal more as we go along… we've got an incredible cast!! And the crew are creating absolute gold! Trigger Point!!"

Vicky’s Line of Duty co-star Martin Compston, who plays fellow AC-12 officer Steve Arnott, replied: “Yessss mate looking fierce some duo that."

TV enthusiasts shared in Martin’s excitement, one Line of Duty fan account wrote: "Wow this looks incredible! I’m so excited!!"

Another added: "Maybe a 2nd career Vicky? You seem at home in the uniform."

It was recently reported that even The Queen is a big fan of Line of Duty, which finished it's sixth series in May.

Despite it being in production, there has been no official release date announced for the show yet.
