Bristolians are being given the chance to watch Jayde Adams' new series - set in Bristol - before it's aired. Ruby Speaking is coming to Bristol's Watershed cinema this month, and tickets are on sale now for the screening.
The new ITVX show is also led by Bristolians, starring Bedminster's Jayde Adams in the titular role alongside Joe Sims who plays Tom. Jayde also put a call out for young Bristol actors to join the cast, with Daniel Hiscox and Kiera Lester selected.
Ruby Speaking follows newly-single Ruby (Adams) who is a member of the customer service team at the Bristol call centre of Hellocom. The life and soul of her workplace, Ruby struggles to read from the prepared script that work and life have foisted upon her, choosing instead to walk her own chaotic path.
