HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESLEY! 💜 March 12th 1956

- Citadel, the Amazon global spy series (Prime Video, premiere on April 28)
- World On Fire s2, the BBC WWII drama (it looks like Sean Bean won't coming back... I will miss Robina x Douglas interactions 😢) (BBC One, on July 16)
- Disclaimer, the Alfonso Cuarón's series, yeah the one with Cate Blanchett 😋 (Apple TV+, date TBD)

- Sherwood (BBC One) has been renewed for a season 2 and it's confirmed Lesley will reprise her role!
- Midwinter Break, in which she will have the lead role alongside Ciaran Hinds! Could be great.
The Crown's Imelda Staunton and Sherwood's Lesley Manville are nominated for BAFTA TV Awards leading and supporting actress respectively 🌹

I'm almost sure this is somewhat based on the Robin Hood BBC production 😁 bc it's so Guy-of-Gisborne - centered & presents him in a proper light! And Marianne is not only the nightwatchman.
anyway the height of romance is when the main character of a story has a double life as a masked vigilante and their love interest discovers this but, despite having an obligation to report this information to their superiors, keeps it to themselves not just because they’re in love but also because they secretly support the vigilante’s actions.
