Tonight is the night that This City Is Ours launches on BBC one at 9pm. 🏙️
Liverpool is once again taking centre stage in the world of TV drama as the new crime series from the BBC, prepares to hit screens.
Created by Stephen Butchard and directed by BAFTA-winning Saul Dibb, This City Is Ours is an eight-part series of the intense, power-driven story of crime, family, and survival – all set against the backdrop of Liverpool.
This City Is Ours tells the story of Michael Kavanagh, a man deeply embedded in Liverpool’s organised crime scene. For years, he has worked under Ronnie Phelan, a formidable gang leader who has built an empire through a lucrative cocaine trade. But when Ronnie starts hinting at retirement, Michael begins to envision a future outside of crime—one where he can finally pursue a life with Diana, the woman he loves.
However, escaping isn’t that easy. A disastrous missing shipment signals that their kingdom is under threat, while Ronnie’s ambitious son Jamie Phelan sees an opportunity to take over. As the gang fractures, Michael and Jamie find themselves locked in a battle for control, with loyalty, and survival all at stake.
But for Michael, the biggest fight won’t just be for power – it will be to protect Diana and the child he has always wanted.
The series boasts an impressive ensemble cast, led by two-time BAFTA winner Sean Bean (Time, Marriage) as gang leader Ronnie Phelan and James Nelson-Joyce (Bird, A Thousand Blows) as his loyal right-hand man, Michael Kavanagh.
The cast also includes:
Hannah Onslow (Empire of Light, This Is Going to Hurt) as Diana Williams
Jack McMullen (Hijack, Ford V Ferrari) as Jamie Phelan
Julie Graham (Shetland, Time) as Elaine Phelan
Laura Aikman (Archie, Gavin & Stacey) as Rachel Duffy
Kevin Harvey (Treason, Time) as Bobby Duffy
Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls, Upgraded) as Cheryl Crawford
Bobby Schofield (SAS Rogue Heroes, The Suspect) as Bonehead
Darci Shaw (Judy, A Thousand Blows) as Melissa Sullivan
Stephen Walters (Slow Horses, Anne) as Davy Crawford

Woolton has been named the Best Place to Live in the North West by The Sunday Times 🤩
Some of the things the judges highlighted about Woolton was walkability, its historic connection to The Beatles, and its vibrant village centre.
The Sunday Times judges said:
“Everything is within walking distance in the Liverpool suburb where Lennon and McCartney met for the first time. Its independent-minded village centre has cool coffee shops, a formidable fromagerie, and cocktail bars, as well as a belting neighbourhood boozer in the Elephant Pub and Bakehouse. It’s a gloriously family-friendly place to put down roots, with excellent schools, parks, and even a patch of woodland.”
We spoke to some locals to find out why they love living or working around Woolton.

Liverpool is officially one of the safest cities in the world for a night out, thanks to its Purple Flag status. 🌃
Jay met John Hughes from Liverpool Nightlife CIC to find out more and to hear about some of the measures in place which are actively keeping people safe during their night out in the city.
Last month it was announced that Liverpool has kept its Purple Flag status, marking the 15th year in a row that the city has been recognised for its safe and thriving night-time economy.
Purple Flag Status highlights the Liverpool’s commitment to being one of the UK’s safest night-time economies, where residents and visitors can enjoy a secure and vibrant nightlife experience. It is one of only a handful of cities that has retained the status since 2010.
Run by the Association of Town and City Management (ATCM), the Purple Flag scheme recognises places that have a dynamic, secure, and vibrant evening and night-time economy, similar to a Green Flag for parks, or Blue Flag for beaches.
The prestigious award highlights Liverpool’s diverse range of entertainment, dining and culture throughout the night, as well as its commitment to the welfare and safety of visitors and residents.
