Mesothelioma takes centre stage as a storyline in the new ITV series of Trigger Point, starring Vicky McClure as a police bomb disposal expert in London.
In the third series of the thrilling show, the Met’s bomb disposal experts race against time to stop a perpetrator obsessed with revenge. The storyline is focused on corporate cover-ups and negligent asbestos exposure.
Liz Darlison, Chief Executive Officer at Mesothelioma UK, said: “The storyline in Trigger Point has really caught the attention of the mesothelioma community – our staff, nurses, patients and stakeholders have all been discussing it recently.
“Whilst reactions to the causes of the disease are highly dramatised within the show, the danger from asbestos exposure is a very real public health tragedy so it’s good to raise awareness in front of a national TV audience.”
