Sherlock actor will be starring in the upcoming crime drama as police officer Chris
February 25, 2020 - 11:21 GMT Emmy Griffiths Move aside, Line of Duty! BBC has announced a new crime drama starring Martin Freeman, and it sounds like it is going to be amazing. Set in Liverpool and based on creator Tony Schumacher's own experiences as a former police officer, Responder will look at modern day policing as it follows police officer Chris over six night shifts in the city.
Speaking about the series, the Sherlock actor said:"Tony Schumacher's script for The Responder resonated with me immediately. It felt like nothing that I'd read or seen. Great to work with Laurence and Chris at Dancing Ledge again and finding a home at the BBC has been a wonderful start to the journey.
