„TIME” intertwines the storylines of three prisoners: Jodie Whittaker’s Orla O’Riordan, a single mother, Abi (Tamara Lawrance), who is in for life and Kelsey (Bella Ramsey), pregnant, a heroin addict and repeat offender.
After making history as the official first female Doctor Who for three seasons, Jodie Whittaker now stars in the BBC’s 3-part women’s prison drama “TIME” on BritBox.
“TIME” began as an award-winning, ratings blockbuster series set in a men’s prison and distinguished by Sean Bean’s tour de force lead performance.
“The wonderful thing about this ‘TIME,’” Whittaker, 41, said in a Zoom interview from London, “is that it’s got the same creative team behind it. So everyone knows the quality. But as far as a standalone, it’s a completely individual piece. You don’t need to have seen one to have seen the other.
“But also it is fascinating to see how different in the UK the prison system is for male prisoners and female prisoners. They’re completely different because the systems are different.
