'ELECTRIC DREAMS' SF SERIES
FIRST PHOTOS WITH RICHARD MADDEN AND HOLIDAY GRAINGER
News from the British isles today! First photos have been released for the new science fiction series ELECTRIC DREAMS specifically for The Hood Maker episode with our dearest Richard Madden and Holiday Grainger! Each of the ten episodes is done by a different director and
cast adapting one of the stories from Philip K. Dick's sf opus. Some of the other episodes of the Channel 4 and Amazon series will star Timothy Spall, Greg Kinnear, Jack Reynor, Terrence Howard, Bryan Cranston!
This is fourth or fifth time for Madden and Grainger to star together |
One half of the series will air this Autumn, the other next year |
THE HOOD MAKER is set in a world without advanced technology where
mutant telepaths have become humanity's only mechanism for long distance
communication. Their powers have unintended
implications and when the
public begins to embrace mysterious telepath blocking hoods, two
detectives with an entangled past are brought in to investigate. This will be opening episode of the series and will air September 17th!
The series will also air on Amazon around the world |
DEZZY'S VERDICT Short, and a bit cheap looking,the episode was still thoroughly intriguing with Madden and Grainger shining as the leading pair. They've always had a strong magnetism when together on the big or small screen.
'POLDARK' SEASON 4
REBECCA FRONT JOINS THE CAST

HELLO, LONDON!
Set in 1796, it will see Poldark (Aidan Turner) trying to defend Cornwall from an empowered George Warleggan (Jack Farthing), and risking everything as he embarks on a political journey which takes him to the capital. Ross strives to become a better man, but his dark and reckless streak is never far from the surface and will lead to him facing new enemies and suffering great losses. Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) finds her loyalties torn, Elizabeth (Heida Reed) tries to strengthen her marriage, Morwenna (Ellise Chappell) continues to be oppressed by husband Reverend Ossie Whitworth (Christian Brassington), and the Enyses (Luke Norris and Gabriella Wilde) are tested as never
before. The
action of series four should run until the Christmas period of 1799.

NEW CAST!
After playing roles of snobbish, pompous mothers in Doctor Thorne and War and Peace costume dramas, Rebecca Front will do that again in the fourth season of POLDARK, by playing Lady Whitworth, Ossie's formidable mother. Harry Richardson and Tom York return as Drake and Sam Carne, Beatie Edney as Prudie and Josh Whitehouse as Lieutenant Hugh Armitage, who remains smitten with adulterous Demelza especially after they scandalously shagged each other on the sand dunes of Cornwall. Little Louis Davison will play a more grown
up Geoffrey Charles, Elizabeth's son and Poldark's nephew.The series will also have a new villain in evil Monk Adderley who is friends with George. Max Bennett will play him!
Max Bennett will play one of the new baddies! |
Mutant telepaths are kind of interesting. I wouldn't want to live in a world where you'd have to be one in order to communicate!
ReplyDeletenot that we don't have a lot of strange brain mutants around...
DeleteYou know I don't love SF, but I might give Electric Dreams a go. We'll wait for the reviews though first.
ReplyDeletethey did release a trailer a few weeks ago, but it is geoblocked. I did see it and it was ghastly bad and cheap, but it wasn't for this particular episode. My attention is to watch just this episode with Dicky Dearest!
DeleteWow, they look a little the worse for wear in that Dreams picture.
ReplyDelete'tis the future!
