Interview with writer Jimmy McGovern who revealed that he initially turned down a second series of Time.

He was speaking ahead of a new series of the prison drama.

The first season, starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham, aired in 2021 and was a hit for the BBC, winning the mini-series award last year at the Bafta TV Awards.

Liverpool-born writer McGovern told: “I didn’t expect it to be a success.

“What I expected, the BBC expected, was that it would be well received, it would be a well received drama that would not get a particularly large audience.

“It was a well-received drama, the critics raved about it but it got a massive audience as well.”
