While the movie broke new ground in that director Philip Barantini shot it all in a single take, Graham and Walters previously revealed that this technique won't be used in any of the show's five episodes.

"The incredible reaction to the film, its story and specifically the characters along with the huge desire to know more and delve deeper into their worlds has led us to create a drama series with the BBC in which we will keep the audience gripped, intrigued and involved in each of the characters’ journeys," they said.

"Although we have hung up our feature-length one-shot boots, our audiences can still be excited by extraordinarily lengthy shots and camera techniques that will complement the pure naturalism that was the essence and soul of the film."

Boiling Point will premiere October 1 BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
