The BBC is set to release a compelling new drama, 'Waiting for the Out,' premiering on January 3rd. This six-part series follows Dan, a philosopher portrayed by Josh Finan, as he begins teaching a class within a prison. The program is an adaptation of Andy West's memoir, 'The Life Inside,' penned by Dennis Kelly.
Dan's work in the prison takes on a personal dimension as he grapples with his upbringing, having grown up with a father, brother, and uncle who all served time. This personal connection fuels his philosophical discussions on topics like dominance and freedom, but also sparks an obsession with his own potential for incarceration.
