Sean Bean's latest TV role has had viewers gripped and guessing what on earth is going to happen to him next. The new three-episode crime drama began last night with a bang following the newly-imprisoned Sean Bean and Stephen Graham.

The synopsis reads: "Mark Cobden (Bean) is newly imprisoned, consumed by guilt for his crime, and way out of his depth in the volatile world of prison life.

"He meets Eric McNally (Graham), an excellent prison officer doing his best to protect those in his charge.

"However, when one of the most dangerous inmates identifies his weakness, Eric faces an impossible choice; between his principles and his family.

"Sean Bean and Stephen Graham star as two men on the edge in this emotional and thrilling portrayal of life in a British prison. What does it take to survive?"

Guilt-ridden prisoner Bean finds himself in all sorts of grief and meets protective prison officer Graham - but viewers are already guessing he's going to end up six feet under any time soon.

Viewers penned: "Five minutes in and Sean Bean is crucially still alive," and: "So, which episode does Sean Bean die in?"

Another said: "Sean Bean doing well so far 20 mins and still alive."

Fans applauded: "20 minutes into #Time & I don't think I have drawn breath. Played beautifully & with intensity by @StephenGraham73 & Sean Bean, this is another superb piece of writing from Jimmy McGovern."

"Doesn't get better than Sean Bean and Stephen Graham in a gritty drama! This should be good."
