Cold Call starts on ITV Choice (DSTV Ch 123) tomorrow night at 20H00 - double episodes. I don't know too much about it but the trailer convinced me to give it a go. For some reason it doesn't seem to be listed on Wiki.

June, a single mother, loses a huge amount of money due to a cold call scam. As she tries to track down the fraudster, fear and paranoia begin to take over her life.

Wasn't it always meant to be a single series/mini-series? All 4 episodes aired on consecutive nights in Nov 2019 - the reviews I am finding are all very positive.

Then watch it and report back. For some reason I had it queued up and then trashed it. Maybe I was wrong and you'll gleefully correct me. I'm open to this of course.

Not for me thanks. Looks decidedly b-grade.

‘Bodyguard’ Creator Jed Mercurio’s HTM To Produce Bomb Thriller ‘Trigger Point’ For ITV Starring Vicky McClure

EXCLUSIVE: Line of Duty and This Is England star Vicky McClure is to front a bomb squad drama for ITV, produced by HTM Television, the production company set up by Line of Duty and Bodyguard creator Jed Mercurio.

Trigger Point is a six-part thriller, written by new writer Daniel Brierley, that follows counter terrorism policing and the terrifying work of the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad.

Set in London, Trigger Point, follows the ‘expo’ officers, who risk their lives daily on the long walk towards danger. Death is always just a heartbeat away.

McClure, who also starred in Broadchurch, plays front line officer Lana Washington, who is an experienced bomb disposal operative. Reckless and out of control, Lana is ex-military and pushed to breaking point dealing with a series of improvised explosive devices which threaten the capital during a terrorist summer campaign. Under extreme pressure and searching for answers, Lana can’t help but become suspicious that the bomber is premeditatedly targeting her unit. It’s a terrifying thought, but against all odds how does she prove it and discover the bomber’s real identity?
