From the DVD commentary, episode 1:
Neil: Maggie Service over there was actually the longest serving member of the cast because she was at the original read-through a year before we actually started shooting, I did a read-through of the script and Maggie played Sister Mary Loquacious and a number of other people in it.

Mr. Bates vs The Post Office (2024)
One of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history where hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly accused of theft, fraud and false accounting due to a defective IT system.
This show is all based on a true story and it will make your blood boil and make you very angry at the injustice. This is still ongoing and you will not believe how long it has taken for the innocent postmasters and postmistresses to get this level of coverage. A must watch. If you are not in Britain, it will still be worth watching if you read up a little bit on the 'Horizon Post Office Scandal'. It really is just so wrong what has happened.

ScreenPlay: Road (BBC, 1987)
"Everyone's worried sick for you, you know. You can't just do this!"
"Why not?"
"Oh, come on. We all feel like this some time. But life must go on."
"Why?"
#screenplay#road#alan clarke#jim cartwright#single play#1987#neil dudgeon#jane horrocks#andrew wilde#william armstrong#willy ross#mossie smith#barbara keogh#moya brady#alan david#david thewlis#lesley sharp#susan brown#tim dantay#i throw around the word masterpiece a little too liberally i suspect‚ and have used it several times to describe works by Clarke; but it's#inescapable here. a seminal moment in british television‚ and one of the single greatest play adaptations ever screened‚ simultaneously#fiercely loyal to its stage origins without being tied down or encumbered by them. Cartwright speaks glowingly of Clarke as a collaborator#and it's not hard to see why: his restlessly prowling steadicam moving from derelict house to derelict house allows Road to fulfil its#destiny as wandering theatre‚ something the stage could never quite achieve. a fierce polemic on thatcherite britain and the aching poverty#and waste of a ruined generation. not that this is pure naturalism: a few minutes in Andrew Wilde‚ having tormented his sister‚ turns to#the camera and screams and suddenly you know you're not watching just any old kitchen sink drama‚ this is something different‚ this is some#kind of primal howl. two sinister young men dress in sharp suits ready for a night out; two young girls argue with their respective family#members; an older man reminisces hopelessly about times past; a young man is starving himself to death in a condemned house. and in the#dead centre‚ Lesley Sharp delivers one of the most devastating‚ affecting monologues ever written‚ as she stalks the desolate streets and#tries to keep herself from going mad with the grief and the horror and the pointlessness of it all. tv was a medium created for such scenes

Jenna Coleman on the role that changed her life!
IMDb just released a new segment of an interview they did with Jenna Coleman ahead of the premiere of The Sandman.
Can you guess what role Jenna chose, before watching the video?
Read below for my thoughts on her choice!
I was quite surprised at her choice! I would have thought that she would choose either Emmerdale, for being the start to her acting career, or Victoria, for being the first time she played the main role in a show.
But when you think about it, it does make sense. She filmed Room at the Top after Emmerdale, Waterloo Road, and Captain America. It was a big role in a big show, which is the exact kind of role that would come to dominate her career afterwards. This role jumpstarted her very successful career in UK TV ever since. She had done Emmerdale and Waterloo Road before, but those obviously didn't guarantee her acting career when she left. What followed was a year of uncertainty, in which she didn't know if her dream of an acting career would really happen. But after Room at the Top, she got one role after another. Dancing on the Edge, Titanic, and then Doctor Who, which made her a household name.
It was also the first time she didn't play a child, so her relationship with other characters is very different. Judging by her comments, it was probably also the first time she was really treated as an adult on set, giving her a lot of freedom on how to portray Susan Brown.

Kazuo Ishiguro’s sci-fi tearjerker “Never Let Me Go” is heading to the small screen. FX has officially ordered an adaptation of Ishiguro’s novel, set to air exclusively on Hulu.
Viola Prettejohn leads the show as Thora, a teenage clone who escapes her boarding school. Once in the outside world, she sets in motion events that will spark a revolution from the oppressed clones. The cast will also include Tracey Ullman, Kelly Macdonald, Aiysha Hart, Spike Fearn, Shaniqua Okwok, Gary Beadle, Kwami Odoom, Susan Brown, Keira Chanse, and Edward Holcroft.
The pilot for “Never Let Me Go” was written by Melissa Iqbal, who also showruns, and directed by Marc Munden. Both executive produce with Ishiguro, Garland, and DNA Productions’ Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich, and Maria Fleischer. DNA previously worked with Garland, best known for his feature films “Ex-Machina” and this year’s “Men,” on his 2020 FX on Hulu miniseries “Devs.” FX Productions and Searchlight Television also produce.
“Never Let Me Go is a modern science fiction classic that Melissa Iqbal and the creative team have brilliantly adapted for FX as a drama exploring timely and unsettling themes on life and the ethics of technology,” said FX Entertainment president Gina Balian.

Machten uns dann an Tony Kushners übergroße und -lange halbsurreale schwule Fantasie über nationale Themen, deren spektakuläre, schick besetzte gefeierte National-Theatre-Produktion dieses freundlicherweise bei NT at Home zur Verfügung stellt (sie können hier anlässlich der Verfilmung nachlesen, was da los ist- einiges). Es ist lang, anstrengend, fordernd und verstörend, aber unbedingt sehenswert.

Still on that balcony in Vancouver
Still on that balcony in Vancouver
She is long lost in a black oblivion. Three years and seven months lost, as of today. And yet I can’t get her out of my mind. I was, variously, throughout thirty-four years of marriage, the love of her life, a jackass who treated her ‘like shit,’ and her best friend. The latter description is my saving grace. If it had ended with me treating her like shit, I doubt if I’d still be here to share…

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 36
The Eighth Doctor has referred to Time Lord society as "bitchy" before. (Audio: Seasons of Fear)
Maximelos and the Three Ogrons was a children's fairy tale on Gallifrey that the First Doctor heard as a child before being initiated into the Academy. (Short Story: Nothing O'Clock)
Peri once turned the song "Wild Boys" up in order to drown out the Sixth Doctor's opera singing. (Short Story: A Star is Reborn)
Susan failed her maths exam because she had forgotten that Britain hadn't moved to the metric system yet (despite the fact that the First Doctor had tried to get her to remember at least that). (Short story: Extracts from the Doctor’s 500 Year Diary)
The Doctor had a bear when he was young but had to release it when it started eating all the furniture. (Audio: Cuddlesome)
Jo and Cliff Jones frequently work with David Attenborough (Short Story: Greyhound)
The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler got caught in 1914 Belgium in a battle between Germans and an alien Warfreekz. Rose stopped the war by singing "Angels" by Robbie Williams, which made all sides think she was the Angel of Death come to take their dead to Heaven. (Comic: Warfreekz!)
When the Fifth Doctor broke his spine and was subsequently paralyzed, he thought he would regenerate. (Audio: Devil in the Mist)
The Toymaker once turned the Eighth Doctor into a doll. (Audio: Solitaire)
Chancellor Delox was a lecturer at the Academy who expelled the Doctor from her class after discovering he had not returned to his House for Otherstide. (Novel: Divided Loyalties)
The Second Doctor remembered being something of an acrobat in his First body before age had taken its toll. (Novel: Heart of TARDIS)
The Doctor's TARDIS has an entire snowy mountain range inside of it. (Audio: The Settling)
The console room of the Monk’s TARDIS has a comfy chair covered in comic books in it. (Audio: The Black Hole)
The Tenth Doctor recovered from his regeneration in part because of tea but also in part because he took energy from his Third incarnation, who was nearby. (Short story: The Christmas Inversion)
The Sixth Doctor continued to try to fix the TARDIS chameleon circuit after Attack of the Cybermen. This caused the outer shell to shift to all sorts of odd forms, such as Nelson's column, a giant strawberry, a train engine, a clock, a Christmas tree, a giant Radio Times, and more. (Comic: Quick Change)
