Every Tuesday, TMINE flags up what new TV events BAFTA is holding around the UK
It’s been a while since BAFTA organised any TV events – August, in fact – but with the Cymru awards just round the corner, we’ve got a big splurge of Welsh Q&As coming our way. Naturally, that includes a chat with one Mr Russell T Davies for the writers session, but Jonathan Pryce is lined up for the actors session. Ooh!
On top of that, we’ve also got a Q&A with the cast of ITV’s The Sister coming up, too, featuring the likes of Russell Tovey.
Full details after the jump.

TV Q&A: The Sister
Wednesday, 21 October – 7:30pm
Q&A with writer and Executive Producer Neil Cross, Executive Producer Kate Harwood and actors Russell Tovey, Bertie Carvel, Amrita Acharia and Nina Toussaint White.
ITV’s four-part series is written by Neil Cross and inspired by the novel Burial, also written by Neil Cross. One rainy evening, Nathan (Russell Tovey) is surprised by an unwelcome face from the past. He has never been able to forget the worst night of his life: a party that led to the sudden, shocking death of a young woman. Only he and Bob (Bertie Carvel), an eccentric old acquaintance, know what really happened… and they’ve resolved to keep it that way.
But years later, Bob appears at Nathan’s door with terrifying news that threatens to tear Nathan’s world apart. Because Nathan has his own secrets now. Secrets that could destroy everything he has desperately fought to build for himself and his family.
