Stop me if this sounds familiar

So I was looking at the Parade magazine this morning that comes with the Sunday paper and, in one of their little celebrity capsules, they were interviewing Sean Bean. Here's the relevant part:

Q: Your next project is for the BBC, called Time. What's that about?
A: Mark Hebden's a schoolteacher and secret drinker. One night he has too many vodkas at the pub, hits a cyclist, and his whole world changes. It's a harrowing tale about a man who's not used to this kind of environment (in prison) and gets thrown in with the wolves. Very hard-hitting, very brutal, but very heart-rending at the same time.




OMG, you guys, the Brits have remade OZ and Sean Bean is Beecher.

(Now I just need to figure out how to get BBC)

Ha! I mean, really -- that is indeed Oz. Very interesting! I think there's BBCAmerica over here in the states, but I doubt they carry super new things like that. (If it's even still around.)

BBC America is still a thing and I think both AMC and maybe A&E will run their series. Maybe not right away though, but eventually.
