The film is based on Bethan Roberts’ novel of the name. It tells the story about three young men and their forbidden love.

For a film set largely in the 1950s, it should come as no surprise that My Policeman’s soundtrack features plenty of era-appropriate songs to help set the tone.

On top of that, several of the film’s cast members, including Harry Styles and The Crown’s Emma Corrin, join in and cover one of the songs in the soundtrack, specifically the track I’m Going To Get Lit Up (When The Lights Go Up In London) which plays at a club they attend and during a lighthearted car journey.

Price also composed the music to 2013’s Gravity which won him the Oscar for Best Original Score as well as the BAFTA for Best Original Music.
