His feature-length directorial debut, the television film Don't Worry About Me (2010), premiered on BBC Two.
This is incorrect: Don't Worry About Me was a 2009 feature film that premiered at the BFI London Film Festival, and was only broadcast on BBC Two later.
Full reasoning
Multiple sources show that Don't Worry About Me was not a television film that premiered on BBC Two.
- The BFI lists Don't Worry About Me as a 2009 United Kingdom film directed by David Morrissey.
- In a Digital Spy interview published in September 2009, Morrissey is described as speaking at the BFI London Film Festival, which "features the world premiere of his cinematic directorial debut Don't Worry About Me." That directly contradicts the claim that it premiered on BBC Two.
- The Evening Standard likewise reported at the London Film Festival launch that Morrissey was showing his "first film as a director" there.
So the accurate sequence is: it premiered as a feature film at the 2009 London Film Festival, and only afterward was it shown on BBC Two.
