    ONWARD AND SIDEWAYS  

FIRST LOOK AT NEW BBC TV MOVIE

BBC One has released some new images from their new feature length drama ONWARD AND SIDEWAYS which stars Laura Linney and Rhys Ifans in a touching story about two people with lots in common - a great sense of humour, a love of dance, and Parkinson’s. Rhys plays Tony Evans, the deputy head of a local primary school. Laura stars as Emma Dretzin, a pianist, composer and single mother of two daughters. Neither knows the other until a startling encounter changes the course of their lives: on the same morning, they are both confronted with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s. This film is their story - a friendship which unfolds unexpectedly. A story of humour and emotion, of challenge and courage, of music and dance - transcending the assumptions of a little understood condition, and triumphing over the odds to find joy, release and love. Joining Laura and Rhys are Monica Dolan, Rory Kinnear and Paul Mayhew-Archer.

KIT HARINGTON, ALEX HASSELL, PADDY CONSIDINE TO LEAD DYSTOPIAN ARMY OF SHADOWS TV SERIES FOR CHANNEL 4 & CANAL +

    ARMY OF SHADOWS   

TV SERIES GETS A CAST AT CHANNEL 4

Exactly a year ago I told you that Channel 4 and French Canal + are making a six part drama out of Joseph Kessel's book ARMY OF SHADOWS, which was already turned into a classic film depicting the emergence of the French Resistance to the Nazi occupation of France during World War 2. Channel 4 will switch it into the story of how resistance takes shape in a near-future authoritarian Britain. Under de facto American occupation, a former British army officer builds a covert resistance cell from scratch - navigating betrayal, moral compromise and the tension between patience and action - as young recruits fight to reclaim their country and their futures. Across six thrilling episodes, the series chronicles the early days of the British Resistance. From first kills and internal betrayals to propaganda campaigns, internment camps, and a climactic political assassination - this is a story about how freedom is taken and how it can be won back. It has been revealed that Paddy Considine, Kit Harington, Alex Hassell and America Ferrera will lead the cast.
