The hugely successful first series was a distinctive new take on crime drama from Fremantle-backed Dancing Ledge (The Salisbury Poisonings, Crossfire) for BBC One and iPlayer. Written by ex-police officer Tony Schumacher, The Responder held a mirror up to the emotional extremes of life on the front line of British policing – sometimes darkly funny, sometimes painfully tragic, always challenging. Series one was released on the BBC in January 2022 and attracted 9.6m viewers (episode one 28-day figure), making it one of the year’s biggest new dramas. Sold widely, with Fremantle handling global distribution, it fast became one of Europe’s biggest dramas.
