National treasures Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston first appeared over 40 years ago on our screens as husband and wife Bobby and Sheila Grant in ‘Brookside’, and then we fell in love with them again as Jim and Barbara in the iconic ‘Royle Family’. And now they are back! And they’re coming to Birmingham!
The legends that are Ricky and Sue are joining RTS Midlands for a very special event where they will share stories about their new series, Ricky, Sue and a Trip or Two. The duo will be taking three road trips, to show each other some of the places that shaped their lives. And, like any good road trip, there’ll be some diversions along the way, as they explore new places, try new things and meet some famous friends.
The event will take place at Midlands Art Centre on Wednesday 20th March at 7pm for a special screening of the Midlands episode of the series.
After the screening, Ricky and Sue will be joined on stage by Channel 4 Commissioner, Jayne Stanger and Creative Director of Nine Lives Media, Jazz Gowans and this fabulous panel will give us a special insight into the making of what promises to be a brilliant series.

About the series
The three-part series Ricky, Sue & a Trip or Two is a commission for More4 from Nine Lives Media in Birmingham and LA Productions in Liverpool, resulting from Channel 4 and Create Central’s More4 the West Midlands development fund.
The series is commissioned as a result of Channel 4 and Create Central’s linear unscripted development initiative More4 the West Midlands, a partnership launched in April 2022 to forge stronger relationships between West Midlands' indies and Channel 4 Commissioning to create more opportunities for creative talent in the region.
