 Last year, four sisters-in-law and their families escaped to their Maltese holiday apartments, as they’ve done every summer for 15 years. Sylvie Morgan (Tamzin Outhwaite), was happily married, Natasha Morgan (Angela Griffin), was swimming in wealth, and Beth Morgan (Jo Joyner) and Annabelle Morgan (Christine Bottomley), were thick as thieves. But this year, as they come together again, everything is different. Sylvie’s now single and loving life, Natasha’s hiding a desperate financial situation, Beth is barely keeping her life together and Annabelle is, well... dead. When Annabelle’s widower Charlie (Jamie Bamber), arrives with a new woman in tow, Beth tries to be happy for them, but something doesn’t sit right. Charlie’s new girlfriend Jade (Katie Clarkson-Hill), looks exactly like Annabelle. Beth’s plans to have a great summer are quickly scuppered by Charlie’s odd behaviour, and her suspicion that there is more to Annabelle’s death is heightened. With lies coming to light and evidence building, the women work together and against each other to unravel the mystery and bring the culprit to justice. But with corrupt officials, drug cartels and career criminals closer to home than ever expected, have they bitten off more than they can chew? Ben Willbond stars as the eldest Morgan brother and Beth’s husband Frankie, Jonathan Forbes as Natasha’s husband Sean, Catriona Chandler as Annabelle, Louis Boyer as local businessman Luca Vella and Ajay Chhabra as consulate official Vinay Taneja.

  FIRST CHANNEL 5 IMAGES  

FROM THE TEACHER SERIES SEASON 2

After the ones from The Hardacre period set series, we have the first images from the second season of Channel 5's THE TEACHER which will, as an anthology series not follow Sheridan Smith's character from the first season, but  Dani (Kara Tointon), a teacher who loves her job. She’s a real mentor and inspiration to her students, but what she lacks is a properly functioning marriage with real intimacy and mutual desire. This leads her into an impulsive affair with a fellow colleague that at first answers all her needs, but soon spirals out of control. When a pupil goes missing on a school trip, Dani rightly blames herself for being too easily distracted. When things start to take a sinister turn she is forced to lie, and quickly finds her life falling to pieces. She risks everything to right the wrongs that she has, in part, been responsible for. Will Mellor and Emmett Scanlan will play her husband and her lover in the four parter.

IN THE HEART OF SEA TRAILER

WITH CHRIS HEMSWORTH, CILLIAN MURPHY AND BEN WHISHAW

An epic trailer comes to us today for Ron Howard's new sea adventure IN THE HEART OF THE SEA which sails into cinemas next March starring Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, Ben Whishaw, Brendan Gleeson, Tom Holland and Benjamin Walker! In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story.  IN THE HEART OF THE SEA reveals the encounter's harrowing aftermath, as the ship's surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive.  Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down.
