REGULARSCURTAIN CALLSNEAK PEEKThe season two finale of Tin Star threw up many big questions for fans – namely, who is Anna’s (Abigail Lawrie) real dad now that the secret is out that Jim/Jack (Tim Roth, pictured) isn’t her biological father?

Fortunately, one thing is confirmed: the trio is alive and well when the third and final instalment picks back up.Titled Tin Star: Liverpool, this last chapter – consisting of just six episodes – isn’t set in the Canadian Rockies, but rather where the Worths’ story began some 20 years ago, in the northwest of England.But it’s not long before their arrival and the secrets they carry with them catches…1 min
