A new BBC One TV drama starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham is being filmed in Southport today.
Time, penned by renowned Liverpool writer Jimmy McGovern, has film crews at Southport Pier and Ocean Plaza in Southport today.
Sean Bean (Broken, Game Of Thrones) and Stephen Graham (Line Of Duty, The Virtues) are reuniting to lead the gripping new prison drama.
Time is a three-part series and will be produced by BBC Studios Production. It is filming in both Southport and Liverpool.
The production is working closely with the Liverpool Film Office to ensure that work is Covid safe.
A statement said: “Liverpool Film Office is working closely with every single production to ensure covid-safe measures are in place and are being adhered to in accordance with rigorous industry protocols.”
Seen through the eyes of two very different men, Time is a visceral and high-stakes portrayal of life in the modern British penal system. It is a story of guilt and forgiveness, punishment and penitence and the impact that prison has on all those who pass through it.

Time is emotional and thrilling, showcasing the performances of two of Britain’s finest and best-loved actors.
Sean Bean takes on the role of Mark Hebden, a teacher, husband and father, who killed an innocent man in an accident. Consumed by guilt, he accepts and even welcomes his four-year sentence. Separated from his family, he has no idea what to expect in this unforgiving new environment and needs to learn quickly how to survive.
Stephen Graham is Eric Reid, a prison officer. Caring and honest, Eric tries his very best to protect those in his charge, something which is a daily challenge in this understaffed and high-tension world. When one of the most dangerous inmates identifies his weakness, Eric faces an impossible choice between his principles and his love for his family.
Both Eric and Mark, officer and inmate, are seemingly trapped by their pasts and unsure of their futures. Each has to not only survive, but to find the strength and the way to move forward.
Writer Jimmy McGovern said: “The BBC have given me a brilliant young director and two of the greatest actors on the planet. I am overjoyed.”

Sean Bean said: “Getting to be involved in a Jimmy McGovern drama again is a real privilege and it will be great to be reunited with Stephen. Mark Hebden is another of Jimmy’s complex and superbly written characters and I am looking forward to bringing him to life on screen.”
Stephen Graham said: “It is an absolute honour to be working with Jimmy again, I’m feeling blessed. I’m excited to be working with Lewis as I have heard so many incredible things about him as a director, I can’t wait to get stuck in. Of course, I am made up to be back on set with Sean.”
Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, said: “Jimmy has a unique style of creating thought-provoking dramas which tell raw and emotional stories, and Time is exactly that. With Sean and Stephen in lead roles, Jimmy and Lewis behind the camera, Time is a shining example of British drama talent at its best.”
Tom Sherry, Executive Producer and Head of BBC Studios Drama North and Scotland, says: “It’s a joy to be working with Jimmy again. He writes unforgettable characters who live on in your mind long after you have seen them. Time will show you a world within a world and leave you questioning, what would you do?”
Time was commissioned by Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama and Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer. It will be directed by Lewis Arnold and executive produced by Tom Sherry and Michael Parke for BBC Studios and Lucy Richer for the BBC. It will be produced by Simon Maloney. It is being distributed internationally by BBC Studios.

I realized more interesting things on this fat reduction issue. One issue is that good nutrition is highly vital any time dieting. A huge reduction in fast foods, sugary foods, fried foods, sugary foods, beef, and whitened flour products may perhaps be necessary. Having wastes organisms, and poisons may prevent ambitions for fat loss. While selected drugs for the short term solve the matter, the nasty side effects will not be worth it, plus they never offer you more than a temporary solution. This can be a known proven fact that 95 of fad diets fail. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this website.
I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

Thanks for the concepts you share through this blog. In addition, lots of young women that become pregnant don’t even try and get medical insurance because they worry they would not qualify. Although some states right now require that insurers present coverage no matter the pre-existing conditions. Costs on these guaranteed programs are usually larger, but when considering the high cost of medical care bills it may be the safer way to go to protect your own financial potential.

Interesting post here. One thing I would like to say is most professional domains consider the Bachelor Degree like thejust like the entry level standard for an online college diploma. Though Associate Certification are a great way to start out, completing your current Bachelors opens many doorways to various employment goodies, there are numerous internet Bachelor Diploma Programs available via institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions make available Online versions of their certifications but usually for a greatly higher price than the providers that specialize in online education programs.
