When Adams was in Bristol to film Ruby Speaking, she told Bristol24/7 the show “won’t have one single bit of Clifton in it”, “no Suspension Bridge, no Clifton colourful houses, it’s all south Bristol”.

The six-part series follows Ruby, played by Adams, and “her ragtag bunch of colleagues” at fictional call centre Hellocom in the customer service department.
Partly filmed in Bristol, the ITVX show sees Ruby deals with her own misfortunes while also navigating other people’s issues, often putting them before her own job. It is due to be available to stream from June 22.
The screening is being hosted in Screen 1 at the Watershed on May 19, with doors open at 6.15pm and the screening beginning at 6.30pm.
Tickets, which cost £10 and comes with a complimentary drink, are on sale here through the RTS.
