I FOUGHT THE LAW ITV SERIES TRAILER

Coming from ITV is a trailer with Sheridan Smith in their new mini TV series I FOUGHT THE LAW based on Ann Ming’s book For the Love of Julie, which tells the heart-breaking story of Ming’s 15-year-long battle for her daughter Julie’s murderer to face justice. Ming’s daughter was found in the bathroom of her house in 1990, 80 days after she had disappeared, and the man who killed her was twice acquitted following mistrials before eventually admitting to the murder. The archaic double jeopardy law meant he couldn’t be tried twice for the same crime and it is this law that Ming and her family successfully overturned. The series will hit the screens this Sunday August 31st going head to head with BBC's King and Conqueror saga.

 RAILWAY CHILDREN RETURN 

FIRST TRAILER IS HERE

What I also have for you today is the first trailer and posters for World War II family movie THE RAILWAY CHILDREN RETURN which will arrive into cinemas

The movie arrives to UK this July

sometime later this year directed by Morgan Matthews. The cast includes Tom Courtenay, Sheridan Smith, John Bradley. Similarly to the 1960's television series and the 1970's classic family movie, this one will also follow a group of children who are evacuated to a Yorkshire village during the Second World War, where they encounter a young soldier who, like them, is far away from home. Since it follows the story from the original film, this one was also shot in all the original filming locations in Yorkshire. The film will be released July 15th in United Kingdom and Ireland and will then hit Australia August 25th. It comes from our favourite StudioCanal. Although this one isn't, the original movie was based on the popular book by British writer Edith Nesbit who died in the 1920's and also wrote Five Children and It, The Enchanted Castle and around 30 other children's classics.
