A new drama by Jimmy McGovern starts this weekend and stars UK TV heavyweights Sean Bean and Stephen Graham.
by Stephen Chapman
The first trailer and launch date have been revealed today for Jimmy McGovern’s new Liverpool drama, Time.
Starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham, it will air weekly on BBC One from 6th June.
Mark Cobden (Bean) is newly imprisoned, consumed by guilt for his crime, and way out of his depth in the volatile world of prison life.
He meets Eric McNally (Stephen Graham), an excellent prison officer doing his best to protect those in his charge. However, when one of the most dangerous inmates identifies his weakness, Eric faces an impossible choice; between his principles and his family.
