RTS NW are delighted to announce our next fantastic event, a screening of Trust Me, the brand new drama thriller made by Red Production Company for BBC One. Plus an exclusive panel discussion about ‘women in television’. Are we doing enough to bring more women into the industry? Why are drama directors predominantly male? Is there a fundamental flaw in how we are hiring our crews?

Trust Me tells the story Cath Hardacre (Jodie Whittaker) who is forced to take drastic measures when she is fired from her job as a nurse for whistle-blowing. She steals her best friend’s identity as a doctor and begins a new life in Edinburgh as Dr. Ally Sutton. Will her lack of skills have deadly consequences? How can she keep hold of the perfect life when she is living a lie? Medical subject matter but not a medical show, Trust Me is a character-led thriller executive produced by Nicola Shindler and Gaynor Holmes, produced by Emily Feller, directed by Amy Neil and John Alexander and written and created by prolific screenwriter Dan Sefton.

After the screening of episode 1 we will be holding a Q & A with Jodie Whittaker, Emily Feller, Amy Neil and Dan Sefton, chaired by ITV Granada presenter Ann O'Connor.

The event starts at 6.30 pm for drinks, with the screening of episode 1 at 7pm followed by the Q & A.
