'It matters so much what people from here think of it and how it goes down - only because we have to live here afterwards' BlueLights
The Northern Irish duo behind a new BBC police drama based on the PSNI said taking the risk to create a series based on their home has been the "toughest challenge" they have been faced with.
Declan said: "Our hearts go out to John Caldwell and his family and we are just thinking of him constantly. Adam said: "Declan and I spent many years working in journalism so it's our approach to anything to dive in really deep to try and understand the subject better and we don't really understand creatively how we would prepare to represent people if we didn't engage in that lengthy research process.
"We certainly saw during our research period spending time with police officers, that's how they deal with difficult things and I think it is so emblematic of our society here." Declan explained that they wanted Blue Lights to be "unflinching" in the way it looks at things, "especially the police".
