Preview: Save Me + Q&A

Tuesday, 20 February 2018 – 6:45pm
Princess Anne Theatre, BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, London

A preview of the new Sky Original Production followed by a Q&A with writer and actor Lennie James, actor Stephen Graham, director Nick Murphy and Anne Mensah, Head of Drama at Sky.

Save Me follows unlikely hero Nelson ‘Nelly’ Rowe (Lennie James) a man whose world is turned upside down when he is arrested and accused of kidnapping the 13-year-old daughter he barely knew existed.

With Jody’s mother Claire (Suranne Jones) convinced of his guilt, Nelly sets out to clear his name, find the real perpetrator and save his daughter. With the help of his community and his drinking pal Melon (Stephen Graham), Nelly will stop at nothing in his quest for the truth.

From the award-winning producers of Line of Duty, Save Me is a six-part Sky Original Production written by and starring Lennie James (The Walking Dead), directed by Nick Murphy (The Last Kingdom) with music by Dustin O’Halloran (Lion).

We will be screening the first two episodes in the series, with a total run time of 90 minutes.
