Written by Daniel Brierly, Trigger Point explores what it means to anticipate a fiery demise every day while trying to maintain a normal life and relationships. At the centre of the series is Lana Washington (McClure), an ex-military bomb disposal operative with a steady hand but somewhat reckless personality, who works with the Metropolitan Police.

The yin to her yang is colleague Joel Nutkins (Lester). Both understand that “death is always just a heartbeat away” after serving in Afghanistan together, and now they must keep their cool while they disarm a series of powerful explosives that threaten the capital’s citizens. But could the attacks actually be more personal than political?

How to watch Trigger Point from outside your country

While UK viewers can watch heaps of great drama like Trigger Point in the UK, regional restrictions mean that tuning in from anywhere else in the world will be near impossible. That means that anyone from the UK who's currently travelling abroad won’t be able to connect to ITV Hub.

Luckily, downloading a VPN provides a simple solution. This nifty bit of kit changes your IP address, allowing you to connect to your favourite on-demand services and watch all its premium content regardless of where you’re streaming from.

Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three...

1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is ExpressVPN

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location (a server in the UK in this case)

3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to ITV Hub and start watching Trigger Point as if you were back at home
