As is always the case we also run interstitials between each section. This week, those are the musical stylings of Tim Meredith, fellow Rusty Quiller (Quiller? Quillnaut? Quillotron?

Brendon Connelly, the show's creator, is an old friend and colleague and the idea is so fun. Here's the pitch: Ten years ago, a group of kids and their dog defeated a demon. It's back. Or at least that's what seems to be happening in the claustrophobic opening episode. Written and recorded in COVID lockdown, the show is focused on the themes of family, isolation and what happens when our fragile bubbles are shattered. I had the pleasure of chatting to Brendon and co-writers Jim Field and James MacDonald about the show on Twitter.

  • How TV's Top Marketers Create Killer Campaigns
    How TV's Top Marketers Create Killer Campaigns 06.14.2018 Launching a show in today's multichannel, multiplatform universe means so much more than just planning some on-air promos and hoping viewers tune in. It starts with identifying the target audience and then figuring out how to reach them, turning over every tweet, Insta post and Snapchat filter in the process. It requires great assets deployed in strategic ways as well as partnerships to try new technologies - such as Facebook bots, Twitch livestreams and Snapchat AR filters - to try to grab viewers' increasingly short attention span. At the 2018 PromaxBDA Conference in New York on Thursday, four of TV's top marketers gathered together to discuss how they and their teams came together to get the word out about some of TV's best and most beloved shows. HBO's Westworld HBO's job when Westworld was preparing to return for season two was two-fold: first, remind viewers of the show after 16 months off the air and second, broaden the audience of the genre show that's steeped in its own sometimes confounding mythology. "This is one of the most ambitious campaigns I have ever worked on," said Chris Spadaccini, EVP, consumer marketing, HBO. "We were off the air for 16 months. Our job was to make it relevant again." In addition, he said, "Westworld is very much a genre show. The plotlines are convoluted and the show itself is quite cerebral. We wanted to make it accessible to a broader audience." In preparation for the show's April 22 premiere, HBO kicked off the marketing campaign in December 2017 with a promotion encouraging people to binge-watch season one over the holidays.

Orphaned at a young age, Jane is placed in the care of her wealthy aunt Mrs Reed, who neglects her in favour of her own three spoiled children. Jane is branded a liar, and Mrs Reed sends her to the grim and joyless Lowood School where she stays until she is 19. Determined to make the best of her life, Jane takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall, the home of the alluring and unpredictable Edward Rochester. It is here that Jane’s journey into the world, and as a woman, begins. Writer Sandy Welch (North And South, Magnificent Seven), producer Diederick Santer (Shakespeare Retold – Much Ado About Nothing) and director Susanna White (Bleak House) join forces to bring this ever-popular tale of passion, colour, madness and gothic horror to BBC One. Producer Diederick Santer says: “Sandy’s brand-new adaptation brings to life Jane’s inner world with beauty, humour and, at times, great sadness. We hope that her original take on the story will be enjoyed as much by long- term fans of the book as by those who have never read it.” The serial also stars Francesca Annis as Lady Ingram, Christina Cole as Blanche Ingram, Lorraine Ashbourne as Mrs Fairfax, Pam Ferris as Grace Poole and Tara Fitzgerald as Mrs Reed.

  • Shoot the Messenger
    Shoot the Messenger Dir: Ngozi Onwurah, UK, 2006 A review by Stephen Harper, University of Portsmouth, UK The BBC drama Shoot the Messenger (BBC2, 30 August, 2006) is a provocative exploration of racial politics within London's African Caribbean community. Originally entitled Fuck Black People!, the film provoked strong criticism, not least from the pressure group Ligali. The drama was written by Sharon Foster, best known as the writer of Babyfather, who won the Dennis Potter Screenwriting Award for her screenplay. David Oyelowo plays Joe Pascale, a well-meaning middle class schoolteacher whose efforts to 'make a difference' in the education of failing black pupils in an inner-city school result in unemployment, schizophrenia and homelessness. The tribulations of the idealistic teacher are hardly new in British television drama: Jimmy McGovern's 1995 series Hearts and Minds is one noteworthy example. But Shoot the Messenger's central concern with race orients it specifically towards contemporary debates around multiculturalism and social exclusion such as that prompted by the Parekh Report (2000). The concern with black educational failure is key within these debates. A DfES report 'Getting it. Getting it right' (2007) noted that Black Caribbean students in Britain are excluded from school far more often than white pupils. Although BBC television drama has addressed these issues in recent years in productions such as Lennie James' Storm Damage (BBC2, 2000), Shoot the Messenger nonetheless carries a heavy representational burden. For several years the lack of racial diversity in BBC programmes has been criticised (Creeber, 2004) and concerns about the BBC's treatment of its visible minority staff abound (see, for example, "BBC still showing its 'hideously white' face," 2002).
