We finally have some photos of brand-new six-part thriller Trigger Point, the new crime series which sees Line of Duty star Vicky McClure reunited with creator Jed Mercurio and London Spy’s Adrian Lester.

Trigger Point follows the pair, who play members Lana Washington and Joel Nutkins of the Metropolitan Police Bomb Disposal Squad. The duo, who previously served together in Afghanistan, are appointed to try and stop an escalating terrorist threat in the English capital over the Summer.

Vicky McClure shared some images from the set of the highly-anticipated series with her fans on Twitter.

She wrote: "Meet Lana Washington and Joel Nutkins! We're off to an explosive start!! Can't wait to reveal more as we go along… we've got an incredible cast!! And the crew are creating absolute gold! Trigger Point!!"

Vicky’s Line of Duty co-star Martin Compston, who plays fellow AC-12 officer Steve Arnott, replied: ā€œYessss mate looking fierce some duo that."

TV enthusiasts shared in Martin’s excitement, one Line of Duty fan account wrote: "Wow this looks incredible! I’m so excited!!"

Another added: "Maybe a 2nd career Vicky? You seem at home in the uniform."

It was recently reported that even The Queen is a big fan of Line of Duty, which finished it's sixth series in May.

Despite it being in production, there has been no official release date announced for the show yet.

Check out Ted Hastings' best quotes from Line of Duty:

ā€œThere’s only one thing I’m interested in and that is catching bent coppersā€


"Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey"


ā€œFrankly son, right now, I couldn’t give a s---ā€


ā€œYou’ve got a bloody nerveā€


ā€œNow we’re sucking dieselā€


ā€œFor years, the security in this department has been watertight… then you come along, suddenly we’re leaking like a colanderā€


ā€œShe’ll be laughing on the other side of her face when I’m finished with herā€


ā€œNow we’re cooking with gas!ā€


ā€œShe’s cooked her goose nowā€


ā€œHoul yer whishtā€


ā€œMother of Godā€


ā€œI didn’t float up the Lagan in a bubbleā€


ā€œNone of my people would plant evidence. They know I would throw the book at them – followed by the bookshelfā€


ā€œNo more beating around the bush, we raid Operation Lighthouseā€


ā€œWe've been round the houses Steve. Round the houses and down the bloody drains"


ā€œGotcha a big pint of that cats’ p--- that you young fellas seem to like so muchā€


ā€œGo back to the coal face, the pair of you, unless you’ve got more egg-sucking tips for your Grannyā€


ā€œDon't talk to me about victimisation, nobody's blacker than me, son"


ā€œYou were going like the clappersā€


ā€œGod give me strengthā€


ā€œThat’s us nowā€


ā€œI think you should sit down, fella. Or I’ll handcuff you to that deskā€


ā€œYou look like a couple of kids who’ve been caught robbing an orchardā€
