The Responder is a British police drama television series set in Liverpool, written by former Merseyside Police officer Tony Schumacher, with Tim Mielants as leading director and starring Martin Freeman, Adelayo Adedayo, Ian Hart, and MyAnna Buring. It aired on BBC One on 24 January 2022. Schumacher has said that the character has "a lot to do" with him and the struggles he faced as a police officer but that the storyline is fictional.

In late March 2022, the show was renewed for a second series, consisting of five episodes, which began airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 5 May 2024. The second series marked the final acting performance of Bernard Hill, who died the day of its release.
