'THE LIVING AND THE DEAD'
BRINGS BACK COLIN MORGAN!
Picture treats for you this Sunday, spylings, since we've got new photos from some of the upcoming period set television projects, starting with the most delicious of treats coming from BBC One which is bringing us our most deeply beloved Colin Morgan, be steady our hearts, to the small screens with his new Victorian series THE LIVING AND THE DEAD ready to start airing Tuesday June 28th! With Merlin's director Alice 
Troughton behind the helm the six part supernatural mini series will also star Charlotte Spencer.
VICTORIAN THRILLER
Somerset 1894. When the death of his mother brings Nathan Appleby (Colin Morgan) and his vivacious young wife Charlotte (Charlotte
Spencer)
back to the family estate, they must turn the farm’s fortunes around –
or risk ruin and the devastation of the local community. 
Though the farm
and its future demand their attention, when a vulnerable teenage girl
is brought to Nathan, seemingly possessed by a 
terrifying spirit, he
cannot leave her to suffer.
A pioneering doctor, Nathan has worked at the forefront of the emerging
science of 
psychology and is an expert in mapping the dark places of the
mind. He believes there is always a rational or scientific explanation
to be found 
for life’s mysteries; though Harriet’s case is disturbing,
he must use every psychological technique he has to find a way to cure
her, to free
her from this terrible burden.
But what if Nathan is wrong, and it isn’t an illness of the mind? Could
Harriet actually be haunted?

I love thrillers and I enjoyed studying the Victorian era during my college years. This is the first time I've heard about Colin Morgan.
ReplyDeleteWhaaaawhat? I've written about him billions of times! We're one of his biggest supporters from the beginning of his wonderful career
DeleteCOLIN MORGAN. OMG, I need a towel. I'm drooling!
ReplyDeletehe's ever so dreamy
DeleteAmazing how much Queen Victoria became so important for someone with almost no power.
ReplyDeleteand someone so ebil too
DeleteWe seem to be hearing an awful lot about that nasty Queen Victoria lately.
ReplyDeleteI reckon it's because of Brexit, them Brits are voting whether to exit Europe or not (as if we would cry after them if they do) and these imperialistic freaks such as Vicks do strengthen their national spirit or shall I say - arrogance :)
DeleteI don't know what they will do. However if they leave the value of both the Euro and the Pound will decrease which means I can buy my mini's cheaper from them. A loss for them is a win for me :0)
DeleteWhat are mini's, dear?
DeleteHope they don't eff it up for us too, everything circles around euro here, even I get paid in euro!
Mini's are the figures I paint dahlink.
DeleteIt's hard to say what will happen. The British press can't be trusted and each side just lies and lies. Right now the dollar is weak compared to the euro and the pound.
maybe we should all move to China and get paid in yens :)
DeleteThat's a positive way to look at it from Anne's point of view. I don't believe I buy anything from the Brits, so I don't think it will affect me either way. I do hope it doesn't cut your pay though, Dezzy!
Deleteit can't cut my pay, but it can make the prices go higher if crises strikes Europe... as if the prices aren't crazily high here already....
DeleteOooh dahlink, Colin is everywhere it seems. Everywhere except in my bed that is. He could pop round when Gerard is out of town working :0)
ReplyDeleteIt is now dreadfully hot here and working out of doors would be dangerous. In a way it's okay as I need to start painting again.
How is things with you dahlink?
Methinks it's been about ten years now that Colin has had the hottest of places in my little ticky ticker... he is ever so nom, I swear he is...
DeleteWhat is you painting? It's been rainy and well bellow 20*C on Saturday and now it is again above 40*C... go figure... I did have to turn on my AC for the first time this weekend, and then on Sunday evening it was stormy again and barely 16*C at night so I had to take out my duvet again.... it is as if Devil and God are fighting up there
I've three figures on the table right now and one is a sexy barbarian. He will take some time to do as there is so much bare, musculature flesh. I'll have them up in a few weeks.
DeleteWe've not gotten quite as high as 40*C, but are consistently running around 35-38. Me is whining as it's too hot to be out all day in it.
Yes, the Debil and God is fighting. The Debil is winning methinks.
Hope he is not too little!
DeleteMaybe we need to switch sides and join the Debil, deary, how hard would it be to grow a tail and some horns? It must be easier living that way...
We would be the cutest little devils :0)
DeleteI'm not wearing red latex, though!
DeleteVictoria could be so atmospheric, great looking photos!
ReplyDeleteI reckon it will be leading series over in UK this Autumn
DeleteI'm happy whenever Colin gets work. This sounds like a good one. Go Colin!
ReplyDeleteWe ever so adore him!
DeleteBoth of these period movies/series look interesting to me. Definitely interested in book!
ReplyDelete~Jess

DeleteWho is he, Dezzzmeister?
ReplyDeletemy betrothed... in my dreams...
DeleteWhy did I ask :p
Delete'tis a true wonder
