His feature-length directorial debut, the television film Don't Worry About Me (2010), premiered on BBC Two.
This is incorrect because *Don't Worry About Me* did not premiere on BBC Two. It was already being presented as Morrissey’s debut feature in 2009 and had screened at the London Film Festival before its BBC Two broadcast in March 2010.
Full reasoning
Multiple reliable sources contradict this sentence.
- The BFI lists the work as "Don't Worry about Me (2009)", not 2010.
- At the BFI London Film Festival press launch on 15 September 2009, Digital Spy reported that Morrissey was speaking about his debut cinematic directorial feature Don't Worry About Me, showing the film was already in festival circulation in 2009.
- In a 7 March 2010 review, The Guardian wrote that the film had "drawn cheers at its London Film festival premiere last year" and "is on BBC2 tonight". That means the BBC Two showing was a later television broadcast, not the premiere.
So the article is wrong on the premiere claim, and it is also misleading on the year: the film was already premiering in 2009, before its 2010 BBC Two airing.

Mark Anthony
The character’s name is spelled **Mark Antony**, not **Mark Anthony**.
Full reasoning
This is a spelling error in the name of the Shakespeare/Roman character.
The Bridge Theatre's official page for its production of Julius Caesar states that "David Morrissey is Mark Antony" and also lists him in the cast as "Mark Antony David Morrissey." Standard reference works likewise use Mark Antony for the Roman triumvir and for Shakespeare’s character.
So the article should say Mark Antony, not Mark Anthony.
