Anthony. Picture: James Stack, BBC
In July 2005, 18-year-old Anthony Walker was murdered by two white men in an unprovoked racist attack in a Liverpool park. Jimmy McGovern’s drama imagines what life may have held for Anthony if the teenager had not been killed, with the reverse chronology seeing him realise his dreams and enjoy the life he had a right to before fate — and hate — took it all away. Toheeb Jimoh stars. And Cork's Siobhan McSweeney plays Luighseach Kelly, a midwife who delivers Anthony and Katherine’s baby when Katherine goes into labour mid-way through a train journey. Anthony and Katherine name their baby girl after her.
