   FIRST TOWARDS ZERO  

NEW BBC AGATHA CHRISTIE SERIES TRAILER

Although I thought they might air it at Christmas,  BBC has kept their latest TV series adaptation of an Agatha Christie work TOWARDS ZERO for this year and it will start airing March 2nd on BBC One, and to mark the announcement they released first trailer for the new series to entice you with our dearest Oliver Jackson Cohen in the lead role with Anjelica Huston and Matthew Rhys also in the cast. I think that Britbox will stream it for the viewers in Canada and United States sometime this year as well. 

 

 WHAT IS THE STORY ABOUT?

Featuring coastal views, heated summer soirees, and a trip to Wimbledon Centre Court, the series is set in England, 1936. After a scandalous celebrity divorce, Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson Cohen) and his ex-wife Audrey (Ella Lilly Hyland) make the unthinkable decision to spend a summer together at Gull’s Point, their childhood home and the coastal estate of Nevile's aunt, Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston). With unfinished business between the former childhood sweethearts, plus the presence of Nevile’s new wife Kay (Mimi Keene), tensions are running high. Add to this a long-suffering lady’s companion, a mysterious gentleman’s valet, an exiled cousin with a grudge, a venerable family lawyer, an inquisitive orphan and a French con man, and soon there will be murder. A troubled detective must rediscover his purpose to untangle a toxic web of jealousy, deceit and dysfunction. Can he solve the crime before another victim meets their death? An explosive love triangle, a formidable matriarch and a house party of enemies. All compelled… Towards Zero. Clarke Peters, Anjana Vasan, and Jack Farthing are also seen in the new pictures from the series, which co-stars Jackie Clune, Grace Doherty, Khalil Gharbia and Adam Hugill.

1ST PERIOD SET MOVIE IMAGES FROM 18TH CENTURY SATYRE SAVAGE HOUSE WITH RICHARD E. GRANT, JACK FARTHING, POST WW2 SET ITALIAN FILM MY PLACE IS HERE

 1ST PERIOD SET FILM IMAGES 

FROM SAVAGE HOUSE 18TH CENTURY FILM

First up today, an image from Peter Glantz directed movie SAVAGE HOUSE set against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive pox outbreak, and Jacobite uprising – it is a darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage (Richard E. Grant) and Lady Savage (Claire Foy) and their blindpursuit of a better life. It is not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed. Filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed, this is a madcap play on class and power. Bel Powley, Jack Farthing, Pip Torrens also star.

POST WW2 SET MY PLACE IS HERE

Meanwhile, from Italy comes Daniela Porto and Cristiano Bortone directed MY PLACE IS HERE set in the aftermath of WWII against the conservative backdrop of Southern Italy, just as Italian women have gained the right to vote. When single mother Marta (Ludovica Martino) accepts the proposal of an older farmer, she meets Lorenzo, the village’s openly gay wedding planner (Marco Leonardi) and forges an unlikely friendship with him. Lorenzo introduces her to a hidden community of gays, sparking Marta to challenge societal prejudices.

 

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON THE SERIAL KILLER'S WIFE THRILLER TV SERIES WITH JACK FARTHING, LUKE TREADAWAY AND ANNABEL SCHOLEY

   THE SERIAL KILLER'S WIFE   

NEW PARAMOUNT PLUS SERIES

Unlike October and November that brought us an abundance of TV premieres, this December will be unusually empty, we won't even have any big new epic TV series launching around the holidays as is usually the case. One of the very few new shows to start this month is THE SERIAL KILLER'S WIFE psychological thriller series which hits Paramount Plus December 15th with four hourlong episodes. Beside this one and recently released The Doll House and Burning Girls, one of the new originals we can expect on Paramount's streamer (there are rumours it could soon merge with Apple TV Plus as a streaming package) is A Gentleman in Moscow period set series with Ewan McGregor which will probably arrive sometime next year.

  THE SERIAL KILLER'S WIFE
Follows Beth Fairchild (Annabel Scholey with the most abominable hairdo we've seen on television in a long time), a wife of a beloved doctor from an idyllic British town, who is dealing with the aftermath of her husband Tom’s shocking arrest at his birthday party following the murder of his former assistant. When a string of murders are unearthed, which are closely linked to Tom’s (Jack Farthing from your favourite Poldark series) violent desires, Beth is led to question was it ever just a harmless kink or the beginning of a deeper yearning for violent realism, and misogyny? Luke Treadaway plays Tom's childhood friend Adam whom Beth confides to.
