If I got it right it will also stream on Foxtel in Australia and it had its linear UK premiere on ITV during New Year holidays. Created by Russell T. Davies, this series is exploring the reign, and fall from grace, of the inimitable British soap star, Noele Gordon played by Helena Bonham Carter. The cast also includes Max Brown, Mark Gattis, and Augustus Prew.
The series was shot in three episodes
NOLLY MINI TV SERIES TELLS THE STORY OF
Noele (Helena Bonham Carter) who was a legend in
her own lifetime. As flame-haired widow Meg Richardson in the
long-running soap opera Crossroads, she was one of the most famous
people in Britain. Then in 1981, at the height of the show’s success and
the peak of Nolly’s fame, she was axed without ceremony, without
warning and with no explanation. With the boss’s words “all good things
must come to an end” ringing in her ears, Noele Gordon found herself
thrown out of the show that was her life for over 18 years. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think, will you be tuning in next month?

Now, if you ask me, Disney's space opera movie JOHN CARTER was a solid film, visually stunning, with outstanding cast (Samantha Morton, Willem Dafoe, Thomas Haden Church, Mark Strong, Ciarán Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy), great lead stars (Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins), brilliant world building and sweeping story, but the lack of marketing lead to its fall at the US boxoffice, although it did well worldwide. The latest update is that Disney has just lost rights on Edgar Rice Burroughs' hero from Mars and now Edgar Rice Burrough's Inc., which controls numerous trademarks and the rights to all literary works of the author, is seeking a new studio in order to continue shooting movies about the legendary hero who finds himself amidst the warring alien fractions over at Mars where he also falls in love with Deja Thoris, the gorgeous princess!
