BBC One has paid tribute to the late Hannah Peevers in a sombre end-of-credits tribute after This City is Ours episode 1.
Series 2 of the Liverpool crime drama landed on our screens on Sunday (October 25) after what felt like a long wait since the first season in 2025.
Episode 1 reintroduced the Phelan crime family, as well as former member Michael Kavanagh. He believed he’d managed to start a new life in Spain with his pregnant girlfriend Diane. Sadly for him, though, he was dragged back into a life of crime…
At the end of the dramatic first episode, the production credits rolled. After the roll call of cast and crew, a black screen read: “In memory of Hannah Peevers.” But who was Hannah Peevers, and what connection did she have to the BBC One drama This City is Ours?

This City is Ours paid tribute to Hannah Peevers
Hannah Peevers was born on November 15, 1980, and lived until February 18, 2026. She was just 45 when she died.
She worked as a Production Manager working in the Production Department on This City is Ours series 1 and 2. She was also known for her work on Ridley (2022), Passenger (2024) and, before that, My Parents Are Aliens (1999).
A production manager handles the business, financial, and logistical operations of a TV show to ensure it is delivered on time and within budget. They “bridge the gap between the creative vision of the directors and writers and the administrative and financial realities managed by producers”.
Hannah also worked as a freelance Post Production Supervisor, and was sometimes known by her maiden name Hannah Crank.
She previously worked as a Post Production Scheduler between 2003 and 2006, and a Production Co-ordinator for various companies including BBC, ITV and Cartoon Network. She worked on a variety of shows including The Bad Mother’s Handbook, Sunday Life, and My Spy Family.
Hannah worked ad-hoc as Artist Liaison for BBC Radio 1 at Reading and Leeds Festivals from 2003 to 2009.
