Matthew Herbert (A Fantastic Woman, Disobedience, The Beast Must Die, Gloria Bell, The Cave, Port Authority, Temple) has composed the music for the new BBC One drama The Responder, released on his Accidental Editions.

The series is written by ex-police officer Tony Schumacher and stars Martin Freeman and Adelayo Adedayo amongst others. The series revolves around a morally compromised and unconventional urgent response officer tackling a series of night shifts on the beat in Liverpool who is forced to take on a new rookie partner while trying to keep his head above water both personally and professionally.

“The Responder is as fast and riveting as a thriller and as harrowing as a documentary. It says profound things about the toll frontline jobs can take on our compassion and our morals; how fragile every structure, from an individual’s psyche to society en masse, is without emotional, financial and political support; and what happens when we become uncoupled from each other and have nowhere to turn. If you are looking for a state-of-the-nation piece, it is here.” – Lucy Mangan, The Guardian
