Trigger Point: industries, audiences and contexts
Crime drama
What you need to know
Industry: an ITV commercial drama made by HTM Television, funded by advertising, premiered on ITV and the ITVX streaming service at the same time, regulated by Ofcom, with a 15 certificate.
Audiences: who the drama targets, how streaming and box-set viewing change the way audiences watch, and the pleasures it offers through Uses and Gratifications.
Contexts: contemporary concerns about terrorism and security, and changing representations of women in policing and the military.
How it contrasts with The Sweeney: both commercially funded, made for very different audiences and times; compare specific choices in both programmes.
