'PENANCE' TV SERIES

BRINGS BACK NICO MIRALLEGRO TO THE SMALL SCREENS!

Penance arrives March 17th

Well, we did truly miss him ever so much, but one of our dearest of the British hunks - the super expressive and deeply magnetic Nico Mirallegro is returning to the small screens this month in new drama PENANCE. You probably still fondly remember his outstandingly emotional and believable performance in BBC series Rillington Place and Village and we also saw him in Mike Lee's Peterloo last year and in that superhot movie The Pass with Russell Tovey, so I'm hoping Nico will stun us with his talent in this one too, although it does seem it will be a darker role for him. The three episode television adaptation of Kate O'Riordan's novel of the same name, will premiere on Channel 5 March 17th, which is Tuesday and will then continue

An epic portrayal of the events surrounding the infamous 1819 Peterloo Massacre, where a peaceful pro democracy rally at St Peter's Field in Manchester turned into one of the bloodiest and most notorious episodes in British history. The massacre saw British government forces charge into a crowd of over 60,000 that had gathered to demand political reform and protest against rising levels of poverty. Many protesters were killed and hundreds more injured, sparking a nationwide outcry but also further government suppression. The Peterloo Massacre was a defining moment in British democracy which also played a significant role in the founding of The Guardian newspaper.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON BBC'S NEW 'RILLINGTON PLACE' PERIOD SET TRUE EVENT SERIES WITH TIM ROTH, NICO MIRALLEGRO, SAMANTHA MORTON

  'RILLINGTON PLACE'  

 NEW BBC MINI TV SERIES

Now here's something very new that starts as soon as next week, primetime Tuesday, November 29th over at British National Broadcaster BBC One: Tense and impactful three part thriller series RILLINGTON PLACE, based on the tragic and disturbing real life events, which explores the crimes of serial killer John Christie and the subsequent tragic miscarriage of justice in 1940s and 50s London. The cast is lead by almost unrecognisable Tim Roth, alongside always brilliant Samantha Morton as his wife and one of our most beloved among the young Brits, deeply charismatic and magically convincing Nico Mirallegro!

 NICO MIRALLEGRO, TIM ROTH, SAMANTHA MORTON STARRING
Presenting each episode from the separate viewpoints of his wife Ethel,  their neighbour Timothy and finally Christie, RILLINGTON PLACE retraces the steps that led an innocent man Timothy Evans to be accused of murder and hanged for a crime he did not commit,  whilst Christie went unchallenged until his arrest in 1953. Reconciled after living apart for nine years, John Reginald Christie (Tim Roth) and his wife, Ethel (Samantha Morton), move into the ground floor flat of 10 RILLINGTON PLACE, West London. The adjustment to a new life, in a small, rundown property, is particularly felt by Ethel but she strives to please her husband. Ten years on, Timothy Evans (Nico Mirallegro) and his wife Beryl (Jodie Comer) move into a flat upstairs and fall prey to Christie’s influence and tales. When Beryl becomes pregnant with a second child, already struggling to make ends meet following the birth of baby Geraldine, the Evans allow Christie to help them with deadly consequences for the young newlyweds. The series told in three episodes is based on a true story which later on contributed towards the abolition of capital punishment in Britain.

TRAILER AND PHOTOS FOR BBC'S EPIC TV MOVIE 'THE ARK' ON NOAH AND THE FLOOD WITH DAVID THRELFALL, NICO MIRRALEGRO, JOANNE WHALLEY, EMILY BEVAN

BBC'S 'THE ARK' EPIC MOVIE

WITH DAVID THRELFALL, JOANNE WHALLEY, NICO MIRRALEGRO

I almost forgot to show you the trailer and photos for new historical TV movie THE ARK, but it is still not too late since it airs this Monday evening at BBC One ahead of the Easter celebrations! There was some buzz around the project last week when it was revealed that the Biblical story will not have animals in it because the producers deemed it would make the movie less serious and more childish. Kinda ridiculous, isn't it? I will still watch it because it features one of my dearest of the TV stars, lovely Nico Mirralegro (THE VILLAGE) as Kenan, the youngest son of Noah played by David Threlfall, Joanne Whalley is Noah's wife Emmie, Ashley Walters is God’s Angel, with Emily Bevan, Michael Fox, Andrew Hawley, Hannah John Kamen and Ian Smith also starring

A TIMELESS TALE OF FAITH
Noah, a farmer and family man, is instructed by an angel to build an ark in the middle of a desert in order to save both his family and the faithful from a devastating flood. A seemingly impossible task, especially when his sons refuse to believe him and help. Noah risks ridicule and humiliation from the townsfolk, as well as from his exasperated family in his quest to carry out his mission. Can he find the courage to fulfil his God-given task? THE ARK is a timeless tale; a story of family and faith; about one man's belief and fixation with building the ark which will ultimately save his family and mankind. It is an obsession which leads to the fragmentation of his family, a test of their faith in their father and their father’s faith in God and everything he believes in.
