#CALL OF DUTY 5 WORLD AT WAR AMAZON DRIVER#
“There’s so much tied up in it, yet it is also still a very hidden world. 'That world has fascinated me because it is such a big part of Scotland’s story,” he continues. He would always come back with lots of stories about all the strange things that happened out there. 'My dad used to build rigs at the yard in Nigg and then when we were a bit older, he started working offshore. “When they are in getting repaired at Invergordon, they tower over the town and you see them wherever you are. 'Oil rigs and that world always been a part of my life growing up,' Macpherson recently told The Herald (opens in new tab). Growing up near Alness on the Cromarty Firth, David would often watch on in wonder at the oil rigs that loomed high above the water, watching as these mighty beasts were towed into the bay for repair. The thriller has been created by new writer David Macpherson and is produced by Wild Mercury Productions ( Troy: Fall Of A City, Humans). (Image credit: BBC/World Productions Ltd) The Rig will have the same director as hit crime thriller Line of Duty (cast above). See some of the main cast in action in the first look pictures of The Rig below. Schitt's Creek star Emily Hampshire plays rig worker Rose Mason, while Calvin Demba ( The Golden Circle) plays another rig worker Baz (see both pictured below).
#CALL OF DUTY 5 WORLD AT WAR AMAZON DRIVER#
Other well-known stars include Emun Elliot as rig mechanic Leck Longman, Bridgerton's Richard Pepple as crew boss Grant Dunlin, Mark Bonnar playing foreman Alwyn Evans (see first look picture above), Abraham Popoola is crane driver Easter Ayodeji, Des star Stuart McQuarrie is the Head Chef Colin Murchison and Molly Vevers is roustabout Heather Shaw. Game of Thrones actor Iain Glen plays Magnus MacMillan who is Offshore Installation Manager of the rig and leader of the crew.įor Martin Compston, it also means teaming up with his Line Of Duty co-star from season 5, Rochenda Sandall, who plays the rig's medic Cat Braithwaite, while another Game Of Thrones star Owen Teale plays the rig's Head Driller, Lars Hutton. The action on Kinloch Bravo oil rig features Line of Duty star Martin Compston playing Communications Officer Fulmer Hamilton (pictured above and below). The Rig cast - who’s starring in the horror?Ĭasting for The Rig is very strong.

RADIOACTIVE (2019)
Starring Rosamund Pike, Sam Riley, Anya Taylor-Joy, Aneurin Barnard, Simon Russell Beale, Katherine Parkinson, Tim Woodward, Jonathan Aris, Mirjam Novak, Corey Johnson, Demetri Goritsas, Michael Gould, Sian Brooke, Harriet Turnbull, Indica Watson, Cara Bossom, Ariella Glaser, Isabella Miles, Georgina Rich, Drew Jacoby and Richard Pepple.
Screenplay by Jack Thorne.
Directed by Marjane Satrapi.
Distributed by Amazon Studios. 113 minutes. Rated PG-13.
Eighty some years after her death, most of us non-scientists know the name Madame Marie Curie, and vaguely know she was responsible for some groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs. However, most of us laymen could not exactly name what they were. And we certainly knew nothing about her sex life and personal and professional dramas. (Though it is not hard to imagine that being a woman scientist at the beginning of the 20th century would be a difficult lifestyle.)
Curie’s scientific discoveries were indeed immense. She and her fellow scientist husband Pierre literally discovered radioactivity – and honestly, it was her idea, one which he helped to figure out and bring to fruition – and one that led to a Nobel Prize. (To demonstrate the difficulty of being a woman scientist at the time, the Nobel committee only wanted to give the prize to Pierre, but acquiesced when he insisted he would not accept it if his wife was not given equal credit.)
Intriguing director Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis, Chicken with Plums) has decided all these years later to give Madame Curie full credit – good and bad – for her life and her discoveries. As someone who doesn’t know a test tube from a Bunsen burner (okay, I do, but I am just using that as an extreme example of how little I know about science), I’m not going to lie, a lot of the mechanizations and politics of science went a bit over my head. And, fair or not, finding out about the messy personal life of Curie feels a bit like surmising on the sex life of your great grandmother.
Yet, Radioactive is an intriguing look at the woman and her work. I certainly feel I know more about Marie Curie than I did going in.
The first smart thing which Satrapi did was hiring Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, A Private War, Jack Reacher, The World’s End) to embody Curie. Pike has a history of almost never giving an uninteresting performance and that continues here as she carries the film on her back through most of the running time. Curie is a tricky character – quiet, brilliant, sometimes prickly, sometimes brittle, headstrong, and often willfully antisocial.
In the hands of a wrong actress it could be hard to warm up to Curie as a character. However, Pike keeps her likable even when she is doing unlikable things. Also, the actress is not afraid to delve into the scientist’s neuroses and weaknesses – for a strong independent woman she was often surprisingly reliant on her husband – however, this just gives us a deeper understanding and appreciation of a complex woman.
Husband Pierre is also very well played by Sam Riley, who played doomed rocker Ian Curtis in Control. Like his wife, Pierre was complicated. He was more able to play the political games of University life and science in early 1900s Paris, but he was also more seduced by the fame and economic possibilities of their discoveries. Particularly a short scene where Pierre shows Marie a series of radioactive “beauty products” which he wanted to market, such as facial powder, toothpaste, etc., is both shocking and scary with hindsight.
While Radioactive focuses on Curie’s life and work at the Sorbonne, and also the sexism and bigotry she had to deal with (she was often berated for her Polish heritage), the film was consistently intriguing. The looks at her personal life are illuminating – she was apparently not a great mother and after her husband’s death got involved in a scandalous affair with another (married) scientist – if occasionally too much information.
However, Radioactive has one major stylistic quirk which nearly capsizes the whole enterprise.
Periodically the film suddenly flashes forward to future events which are related to the Curies’ discoveries – dramatizing things like Hiroshima, radiation therapy, the Nevada desert nuclear bomb tests and Chernobyl. Each of these sidetracks distract from the story and feel awkward in context of the film. Blaming the Curies for the atomic bomb is something like blaming the caveman who created the wheel for drunk driving. Yes, their discovery did eventually lead to some awfully bad things, but that was certainly not their intention. And the knowledge they brought to the world led to many good things, too.
Is the film trying to suggest that they were playing with forces that they did not really understand? Fair enough, but doesn’t that describe every significant scientific discovery? The Curies suffered for their findings in much more straightforward ways. It made him sick and led indirectly to his accidental young death, and it more directly eventually killed her as well. The story is dramatic enough without adding revisionist history to it. (For the record, both Curies were dead before the creation of the A-bomb.)
In the end, Radioactive is a fairly distinguished biography for an extremely distinguished and worthy woman. It is certainly possible that a better film could be made about the life of Madame Curie, but I find it hard to believe that anyone will find a more appropriate actress to portray her.

The Real History Behind Bridgerton
https://ift.tt/2WPSOdx
This Bridgerton feature contains spoilers for the series.
Although Netflix’s Bridgerton has actively resisted the label of historical accuracy in favor of a fantasy approach to the era, it is still worth uncovering which scenes, events, and references represent a more creative interpretation to history and which are references to real events. 
Dr. Hannah Greig, the historical advisor to the series, describes Bridgerton as “a combination of a historical truth – which is to say that the past is more diverse than we tend to see on screen, and we tend to accept in our popular imagination. But it’s also a fictionalising, asking what history might look like under certain different circumstances.” This approach is in keeping with the novel series the show is based on which blends the Regency Era with modern romantic fantasies. Here’s a list of some of the plots where alternate history may or may not be a factor.
How Did Simon and Lady Danbury Acquire Their Wealth?
Viewers throughout the episodes see several flashbacks to Simon’s father (Richard Pepple) wearing opulent clothes and overseeing what was likely a huge business empire. Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) is clearly closely connected to Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuve) and may have obtained additional wealth via marriage. Simon (Regé-Jean Page) in Episodes 5 and 6 is seen managing a large estate with tenant farmers. 
The series evades the question of how this wealth came to be and for a good reason. During the Regency era, most of the real-life Ton acquired their wealth through direct or indirect involvement in slavery or colonialism. Although the British officially banned the international slave trade in 1807, this ban did not result in immediate divestment from the economic activity that was powered by slave or colonial labor. British landowners still exported cotton, sugar, coffee, wood, and metals from their overseas properties or were involved in firms manufacturing consumer goods out of those raw materials. Anyone involved in the shipping trade pre-1807 still made money off of transporting slaves from Africa to the Caribbean and America. 
For those who believe there is no precedent in pop culture to discussing these issues, the novel Mansfield Park includes some discussion about Regency-era wealth generated from slavery but some of the adaptations cut or heavily downplay it. Ned Despard opposing expanded exploitation by the Honduran mahogany plantation owners is covered extensively in Poldark Season 5. 
Based on the lack of discussion, the audience can assume any number of things about where their wealth comes from. Simon and Lady Danbury could own property in Africa and the Caribbean and produce valuable raw materials by salaried laborers. This is not unheard of in the era because American laws designed to keep Black and mixed race people from owning property did not exist in these UK colonies. An argument can be made that Simon’s wealth is purely from collecting rent from his tenants and selling the agricultural products produced. It’s also possible long term investments in various industries are paying per annum. The possibilities are endless in this fantasy world. 
Prince Friedrich
So much of the discourse around the series has revolved around Queen Charlotte’s African ancestry, but there hasn’t been as much discussion around Prince Friedrich. Prince Fredrich is introduced in Episode 3 as the Queen’s nephew searching for a princess among the Ton. There was a Prince Frederich Wilhelm Ludwig of Prussia, but in real life, he was the son of her niece Princess Fredericka of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. 
In a series already skewed towards showing the marriage market for the elite families of Regency society, it makes sense for the especially politically ambitious Dukes and Duchesses to desire to be connected by marriage to the Queen. Daphne (Phoebe Dyvenor) potentially blocking the path of the social climbers makes for good drama and gossip from Lady Whistledown even if it didn’t quite happen that way in history. 
Regency Smoking Habits & What is Snuff?
The miniseries featured tobacco use in a way not typically seen in other early 19th Century period dramas. Lady Danbury and other women were seen smoking.  Quite a few fans were confused about Queen Charlotte’s penchant for sniffing something up her nose while cuddling her slightly smaller than at the time pomeranian. She was using snuff, dried tobacco, and not cocaine as some folks mistakenly posted on Twitter. During the Regency Era, clay pipes and cigars fell out of fashion for public consumption due to the unpleasant smell. Snuff was extremely popular among the real Ton as there was no traceable odor to other people. Smoking adds a dramatic effect to any situation where a character feels stressed out but pipes and cigars, in reality, maybe likely only to be used where others can’t see. 
Simon and Daphne’s Visit to the Gardens
The Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens actually existed in Regency London. They were open to everyone who could afford the entrance fee, but quickly became a gathering place for the well to do or anyone interested in social climbing. The location still exists today as a public park in London but the entertainment function ended in 1859. There are references to Vauxhall in the novel and screen adaptations of Vanity Fair and Poldark Season 4 but Bridgerton’s recreation is far more elaborate. The light display show is a fictionalized example of what Regency visitors would have encountered. Singers, musicians, circus acts, and more regularly appeared to entertain guests in the gardens. Traces of those elements remain today in public fairs and amusement parks today.

Bridgerton has two plotlines involving gambling. Lady Danbury’s married women’s party featured whist which was indeed a popular Regency Era card game and one where the Ton was likely to lose some of their precious financial stability. Lord Featherington’s (Ben Miller) gambling on Will Mondrich’s (Martins Imhangbe) fights was a little bit more based on an alternate reality. There’s little evidence that Bill Richmond, the real-life boxer the character is inspired by was involved in fixing fights as the racism of the time already made him prone to false allegations of cheating. This isn’t to say Regency era boxers didn’t attempt to win or lose unethically as the sport didn’t gain a regulatory body until 1838, but the big match in Episode 8 is more about exposing the bad decisions of Lord Featherington in an epic fashion than any real commentary about the era. History buffs who are recoiling from Bridgerton taking so many historical liberties should take heart. Fans of the books as well as new viewers are actively researching more about the Regency Era as a result. They’re well aware the show is not attempting to be the authority on history.

also the Ric/Darla/Kofi stuff was very well done imo and very emotional. Naomi Katiyo is very talented, and she, Hugh Quarshie and Richard Pepple were all fantastic in this ep
I’m really enjoying this storyline so far tbh - it’s one of the quieter, more real storylines that tend to intrigue me far more than any murder or car crash ever could
