Line of Duty's Vicky McClure on moving away from detective dramas - 'I've grown up'


Vicky McClure opens up about her new role in Paramount+ psychological thriller Insomnia - and why she's moved away from detective dramas like Line of Duty for 'darker' projects

For Vicky McClure, catching Line Of Duty ’s bent coppers and defusing bombs as Trigger Point ’s Lana Washington is all in a day’s work. She says, “I thought, ‘Christ – I put her in a pond in the middle of the night!’ But I couldn’t wait to tell people that I had Line Of Duty’s Vicky McClure in my show.” Starring opposite Vicky is Young Wallander’s Leanne Best as Phoebe – Emma’s distant sister who suddenly re-enters her life and tries to convince her to make up with their mother, who is in a hospital bed.
