Scouse BBC drama The Responder poised to win big at TV BAFTAs

A gritty BBC drama set in Liverpool, and based on the experiences of a former Merseyside Police officer, has been shortlisted for a long list of TV Bafta awards.

The Responder, along with This Is Going To Hurt, both lead the nominations this year with six each. The series, which aired last year, followed Martin Freeman's character Chris Carson, a morally compromised urgent response officer tackling a series of night shifts on the beat in Liverpool.

The show won plaudits for its gritty style and narrative, and was written by former police officer Tony Schumacher.
