Mayflies will air December 28th at BBC

Two British projects for you today, starting with a trailer for two part series MAYFLIES which will air on BBC during the holidays, December 28th! The adaptation of Andrew O'Hagan's acclaimed novel sees a friendship forged between James and Tully in a small Scottish town in 1986. One weekend, they make a vow to each other to go at life differently. But then, 30 years on, half a life away, the phone rings. Tully (Tony Curran) has the worst kind of news. He has cancer and he makes a request that tests his and James' (Martin Compston) friendship to the limit. After sharing his devastating news, Tully asks his old pal for help ending his own life, yet James isn’t comfortable keeping their plan a secret from Tully’s partner Anna (Ashley Jensen).

A delight coming from Pate Films today is the first trailer from ALLELUJAH movie starring Judi Dench, Derek Jacobi, Russell Tovey, Jennifer Saunders, David Bradley and Julia McKenzie. The film is out March 17th, at the anniversary of British NHS.

  WHEN THE GERIATRIC WARD

of a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanizing the local community. They invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse. What could go wrong? ALLELUJAH celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand. But in the midst of the tears and the laughter, we slowly realise that there is something threatening the hospital that is far more lethal than the politicians demanding efficiency at any cost…

 JULIA SERIES 2ND SEASON 

HIRES RACHEL BLOOM

Although we are still not shocked but scandalised and disgusted that HBO's Julia Child series JULIA did not score any Emmy nominations, not even Sarah Lanchashire for the lead, while some Korean garbage and other undeserving trash did, we are looking forward to the second season which has just cast Rachel Bloom. She will have a recurring role as Elaine Levitch, a dynamo who comes to WGBH by way of CBS to work with Julia on ‘The French Chef.'
