BBC drama Time beats It’s A Sin and more at BAFTAs
The prison drama won the Mini-series award at this year's ceremony.
BBC drama Time has won the Mini-series award at the Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards 2022, beating out strong competition from It’s a Sin, Landscapers and Stephen.
The three-part mini-series followed Sean Bean as a former teacher who ends up in prison, and Stephen Graham as a prison guard who has to make impossible choices.
The show was recently announced to be returning for a second season, although RadioTimes.com understands that it will take an anthology format, meaning it will feature a new cast and a group of new characters.
In an interview with Radio Times magazine, the BBC's Chief Content Office Charlotte Moore confirmed that Time would be returning alongside other BBC dramas The Tourist, The Responder and Vigil.
In his acceptance speech at the 2022 TV BAFTAs, Stephen Graham said that the cast and crew really weren't expecting to win the award.
