Russell Davies explains how the Timeless Child reveal impacts the show’s future

The Post Office got friggin’ spanked hard by the courts. Go subpostmasters!

The Bafta Craft wins were announced tonight and the show didn’t win for either of their Season 2 craft nominations

I plan to watch Season 1 at some point. For awards, the show got BAFTA wins for Best Miniseries, Best Actor for Sean Bean (ETA: Sorry, nomination, not win) and Best Supporting Actor for Stephen Graham. I don’t know what other nominations it got, if any ETA: Other nominations: Director: Fiction, Photography and Lighting: Fiction, and Scripted Casting

I read somewhere, though it wasn’t said in the show other than Orla saying her imprisonment was due to “aggravating factors”, Orla was working with or following instructions of a syndicate and that’s why she was given jail time. It was dumb to not let her arrange for her kids’ care first, but then she didn’t plan ahead very well either Season 1 got Bafta wins for Best Miniseries, Best Actor for Sean Bean and Best Supporting Actor for Stephen Graham (ETA: Sorry, nomination, not win). I plan to watch it at some point. ETA: Other nominations: Director: Fiction, Photography and Lighting: Fiction, and Scripted Casting

I didn’t see Season 1 but I followed the filming and news about Season 2 because Jodie Whittaker was in it. I finally was able to watch it properly when it premiered on Britbox US. I thought it was quite good and rather harrowing at times. Jodie’s character Orla should never have gone to jail for that first offense. The government, the gas company or some charity could have helped the poorer people suffering through the winter and the UK’s cost of living crisis with less money than it cost to lock people like Orla up for 4 months and put her kids into care, which led her to lose her job and then get locked up for stealing from a new employer while trying to get a place to reunite her family. It’s an outrage that Orla only was given a tent to live in and some supplies when she got out because the prison system didn’t have any transitional housing available I’m surprised that a minimum security prison would hold a woman who was in for life for murder (not to mention life for what was likely post partum psychosis) I didn’t like that Orla disappeared from the second half of the last episode. It suggested they needed more time for the episode or a 4th episode to fully tell all 3 main characters’ stories. At least the 3 characters were left seeing some hope of change The acting was very good, especially from the 3 main characters and I appreciated we got stories from other characters Tamara and Bella both won RTS awards, the former for Leading Actor - Female and Bella for Supporting Actor - Female. Jodie was nominated for Leading Actor - Female. There were no BAFTA acting nominations for the show, but it got nominations for scripted casting Editing: Fiction.

Season 2 had 3 episodes and is set in a women's prison and starred Jodie Whittaker, Tamara Lawrance and Bella Ramsey. Season 2 premiered on the BBC and BBC iPlayer on October 29, 2023 and can currently be seen in the US and Canada in Britbox

Season 1 stars Sean Bean as a man who goes to prison after accidentally killing someone and Stephen Graham as a prison guard. There are 3 episodes. The season premiered on the BBC and BBC iPlayer in the UK in 2021 and is currently available in the US and Canad on Britbox

5, 4 initial episodes and 1 followup

Speaking of that, wouldn’t a real Scots person know when someone is faking the accent?
