Many people have already binged all three episodes of the Jimmy McGovern-penned show and the ending is a proper heartbreaker, while also being extremely emotional and inspiring. Before you read any further, if you haven't finished Time yet, there will be spoilers below. Sean Bean plays former teacher Mark Cobden who is thrown in at the deep end when he's unprepared for the violent harshness of prison life. He's in prison for killing a cyclist while drink-driving and sentenced to four years. In his early days in prison he's bullied by another inmate and has some troubled cellmates, including Aneurin Barnard's Bernard. To stop the bullying he calls on Jackson Jones (Line of Duty's Brian McCardie) to help him, a older inmate who we find out is the head of a smuggling ring and who soon is calling in a favour from Mark. In the meantime, Mark had impressed the prison's Catholic chaplain Marie-Louise (Siobhan Finneran) with his guidance and patience with other inmates and young offenders who visit the prison. Signing him up for a conference, this sees Mark trusted to leave the prison alone and it's when Jackson calls in his favour. But, he couldn't go through with it. This leads to a vicious snooker ball sock attack on Mark but he is saved just in time by fellow prisoner Kav, who Mark taught to read. Later, we see Mark meet with the widow of the man he killed in a masterclass of acting by Sean Bean who is painfully remorseful and Anne Warren (Anna Madeley) reveals that shell try her best to forgive Mark one day.

We find out that Jackson had been blackmailing prison guard Eric McNally (Stephen Graham) into smuggling drugs and other contraband into the prison. Eric is caught smuggling in the last episode, and confessed, explaining that he did what he did in order to protect his son, an inmate at another prison. He is sentenced to four years and refuses to name any names and incriminate others, as he wanted to ensure that his son remained safe. In some of the final scenes of Time we see Mark and Eric swap places from the start of the drama, with Eric preparing to serve his sentence and Mark preparing for his freedom. Time is available to watch now on iPlayer, or watch the final episode on BBC One at 9pm, June 20.
