We're delighted to be the official Radio Partner for The BFI & Radio Times Festival - the biggest, most exciting public television festival in the UK, featuring the very best TV shows and a star-studded line up. The Festival returns to BFI Southbank and BFI IMAX from Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd May 2022 and even more shows have just been added to an already stellar line-up.

Over the course of three jam-packed days, The BFI & Radio Times Festival will preview some of the most hotly anticipated shows of the year, including the second series of Stephen Merchant's BBC hit comedy thriller The Outlaws and the first chance for members of the public, worldwide, to see Sir David Attenborough’s ground-breaking series Prehistoric Planet, which uses CGI to transport audience back 66 million years to the last great dinosaur era.
