Directed by Peter Mackie Burns (Rialto), the two-part drama follows the life-defining friendship between Tully (Tony Curran) and Jimmy (Martin Compston).
It’s summer 1986 in a small Scottish town. Jimmy and Tully have ignited a brilliant friendship based on music, films, and the rebel spirit.
Poor, little rich girl or heartless killer? That’s the question posed by Showtrial, the latest drama from the company behind Line of Duty and Vigil, World Productions. But BBC One’s current Sunday-night series is far more than a whodunit.
Filmed and set around Bristol, BBC One's new drama Showtrial explores how prejudice, politics and the media distort the legal process, in a timely legal drama full of dark humour.
Speaking with host Yasmin Evans are the creator and writer, Ben Richards, director Zara Hayes and stars Celine Bucken (Talitha Campbell) and Tracy Ifeachor (Cleo Roberts).
Tracy Ifeachor (Quantico), James Frain (Star Trek: Discovery) and Sharon D Clarke (Rocks) have been cast, as well as Celine Buckens (Bridgerton), Kerr Logan (Game of Thrones), Lolita Chakrabarti (Vigil) and RTS Award-winner Sinéad Keenan (Little Boy Blue).
