BBC One’s hotly anticipated new drama Boiling Point premiered on Sunday night and while most viewers were glued to the screen, others were left slightly distracted by one element of the show’s debut.
The four-part series is a sequel to the critically acclaimed film of the same name, which was released in 2021. The workplace thriller takes place eight months after the events of the film, which ended on a shocking note as Stephen Graham’s head chef Andy Jones suffered a heart attack.
