Time (2023 Jimmy McGovern & Helen Black)

Hooray! More Mr Sunshine Jimmy McGovern! (What kind of character is he?)

At least it's only three parts. Jodie Whittaker finds herself in prison for 'fiddling the leccy'. Meets Bella Ramsey, teenager pregnant drug addict, Tamara Lawrance, who has killed her baby. Siobhan Finneran a nun. Faye McKeever is the school bully. Who's the guard? I've looked at two Radio Times posts and a Wales Online and I still don't know. OK, it's Lisa Millett.




Stand out scene where Lawrance helps deliver Ramsey's baby.

There's some tears, and light at the end of the tunnel, though ultimately one's living in a tent, one faces possible revenge from her ex, and the other's still in prison for life. It was good, though - very well acted. Directed by Andrea Harkin.
