So, to recap: Ben Mitchell is serving nine years of a 13-year sentence. He’s been inside since 2026, so he probably gets out near the end of the decade. That’s about the same amount of time it takes to get through a backlog of podcasts or to finally finish that novel you started on holiday.
Should you care? Yes, because Ben’s story is about hope. Every time you see Phil’s stony face at the prison visiting room, you’re watching a man fight for a second chance. And if a fictional East End gangster can’t make you believe in forgiveness, then what can? Now, pass the kettle. There’s another episode to watch.
