Leading cast and crew members of the BBC drama This City Is Ours were hosted at Anfield stadium today (Sunday, October 25) to watch Liverpool play Brighton & Hove Albion. Among those in the director's box were actors James Nelson-Joyce (Michael Kavanagh), Darci Shaw (Mellissa Sullivan), Adam Abbou (Freddie), director Saul Dibb, and writer Stephen Butchard.
Liverpool's 2-0 win over Brighton
Liverpool won the Premier League match 2-0, with goals from a Pascal Gross own goal and Alexander Isak's sixth of the Premier League season. The victory was Liverpool's first at home in the league under new head coach Andoni Iraola.
Series two launch
The match attendance comes ahead of the launch of the second series of This City Is Ours, which airs tonight at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer. The crime drama returns with eight new episodes. The first picks up six days from the dramatic end to series one, when Banksey (Mike Noble) killed cartel member Ricardo by running him over on Old Hall Street.
The series has attracted an average of 6.2 million viewers to date, with the first episode seeing more than 8.3 million viewers - more than quadrupling its initial overnight figure of 1.9 million. Almost three million people streamed the series finale ahead of its BBC One transmission last May.
