“Time” Fans Get Liverpool Premiere Exclusive
BBC drama “Time” fans, get ready! The much-anticipated second series is hitting Liverpool first with an exclusive premiere event. Catch a sneak peek of the gripping new episodes before they air, plus a riveting Q&A with the cast and creators.
Inside Series 2: Prison Drama with a Twist
The new series dives deep into the lives of three very different women locked up in Carlingford Prison. Starring Bella Ramsey as Kelsey, Jodie Whittaker as Orla, and Tamara Lawrance as Abi, viewers will see how these inmates cope with life behind bars. The drama spans three intense episodes, packed with emotion and raw storytelling.
Meet Liverpool’s Own Jimmy McGovern
A highlight of the event is the presence of Jimmy McGovern, the multi-award-winning writer and proud Liverpudlian behind the series. He’ll be joined by key cast members and creative minds who bring the drama to life.
BBC Radio Merseyside’s Ngunan Adamu will host a post-screening Q&A, offering fans a chance to hear exclusive behind-the-scenes insights straight from the makers.
Homegrown Drama Taking Over the BBC
“Time” is a prime example of the BBC’s “Across the UK” strategy, which shifts creative spending and decision-making beyond London. Thanks to this, Liverpool and other regions are now centre stage, with 60% of network TV commissions planned to be made outside London by 2027—two years ahead of target.
The premiere will take place at St George’s Hall in Liverpool and is free for Merseyside audiences. To grab tickets, head to the BBC Shows and Tours website—you don’t want to miss this homegrown drama celebration.
Creators Praise Liverpool Premiere
Kate Squire, Head of BBC North West, said, “We’re proud to showcase extraordinary drama from Liverpool and across the UK.”
Jimmy McGovern said, “Absolutely delighted to be holding this event in my home town. Please come. It really is worth watching.”
Co-writer Helen Black added, “It is exciting and truly fitting that the first screening of this season of Time will be held in Jimmy’s home city of Liverpool.”
