April is super busy TV-wise for the BFI, thanks to this year’s BFI & Radio Times TV Festival 2020. I’ve already covered the highlights of that elsewhere, which are copious, so you’d think that would be it for April.
Not quite. Because there’s one extra TV event – a preview of ITV’s forthcoming Quiz, based on the play of the same name.
All the info after the jump.

ITV 2020. Dir Stephen Fears. With Matthew Macfadyen, Sian Clifford, Michael Sheen. 3x 48min, TRT 215min (inc 20min interval)
September 2001. Army Major Charles Ingram, his wife Diana and supposed coughing accomplice, Tecwen Whittock, are accused of cheating on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? The evidence is damning. The nation is gripped by the sheer audacity of the plot to snatch the £1,000,000 jackpot in front of a live studio audience. But were they really guilty?
It’s time for you to decide… Directed by the renowned Stephen Frears, Quiz, a new three-part drama, is written by celebrated playwright James Graham.
