Speaking about the return of four top-rated BBC drama’s from the past year; The Tourist, The Responder, Vigil and Time, BBC’s Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore said "The BBC is on fire creatively and the return of four of our biggest dramas over the last year demonstrates the sheer scale and range of storytelling on the BBC."

With nearly 10 million viewers across 30-days the Martin Freeman led drama is the second biggest new drama of 2022 so far. Both dramas will return for a second series with The Responder once again set and filmed in Liverpool.
In 2021, Vigil was the UK’s most-watched new drama launch in three years, since Bodyguard in 2018, attracting an audience of over 13 million viewers across 30-days for episode one, and the series overall had an average of 12.6m viewers (30-days). Vigil will return for a second series and will be set and filmed in Scotland again.
