The Daily Record calls this documentary, narrated by Bernard Hill, a "Don't Miss". The Natural World is coming up for its 25th birthday but Titus, above, has been around a good deal longer, and at 33 years of age he is still king of the jungle in his mountain retreat in Rwanda. It's rare for any wild animal's life to be chronicled over decades but Titus and his forbears were among the gorillas first...
What is this massive guilt-trip with working-class people who get famous? Craig Cash, Steve Coogan, Bernard Hill and the rest of the cast of this maudling, sentimental tripe about the loveable working-classes in the North appear to lose their critical faculties when it comes to this sort of stuff. I have to confess I only made it [...]
The concluding episode of Marple-based tear jerking drama Sunshine concluded last night on BBC1. Bernard Hill was amazing as George Crosby, the Grandad and Dad of the piece. And the unstated love between the Coogan character and his estranged wife was very well played out. I didn't envisage quite such a happy ending, and it was too short a run for any more plot twists, but as a piece of feel good drama...
I’ve been looking forward to catching a glimpse Gerald McMorrow’s Franklyn since I first heard about it sometime last year. Basically it’s a sci-fi film that takes place in (you guessed it) a dystopian future (London, specifically) where religion runs the government. Ryan Phillippe plays a masked vigilante who is trying to end the madness. [...]
Nearly a year to the day since Todd mentioned this project which bafflingly replaced its cast of Ewan MacGregor , Paul Bettany and John Hurt with Sam Riley , Ryan Phillippe , and Bernard Hill . Franklyn is the story of four lost souls in a futuristic London society where there is no separation between Church and State (the fourth being Casino Royale girl Eva Green ) directed by Gerald McMorrow . You’ll...
Anyone remember that sci-fi neo-noir thriller Franklyn that we wrote about late last year? Well, FS.net reader "Lancealot" has alerted us that the first teaser trailer for the film has made its way online. In the film, Ryan Phillippe stars as Jonathan Preest, a masked vigilante detective living in a futuristic London where there is no separation between Church and State. Let's just say this looks like...
The Sarah Jane Adventures (Monday 4.35pm, BBC1) I love this show, and I love Sarah Jane Smith, a heroine for me in 1975, and now doing it all over again in 2008 - who’d have thought, eh? In the first of a two-part tale, The...
Bernard Hill famously starred as Yosser Hughes in Boys From The Blackstuff, Alan Bleasdale's seminal drama about Thatcher's Britain. It was kind of apposite that, on the night it's announced the Govt is bailing out the City, he should appear in another drama about desperate lives. The rather more limited Steve Coogan played someone addicted to gambling in Sunshine, a reflection on working-class Manchester...
Place of Execution (Monday 9pm, ITV1) This excellent, mature drama comes to an end as documentary journalist Catherine Heathcote (Juliet Stevenson) gets closer to the truth about what really happened to young Alison in 1963. As you’d expect from a drama based on a Val...
THIS week’s featured photograph was captured by Bernard Hill, who spotted this quirky cucumber at the award-winning Bishop Street Allotments in Abertillery.
