RECIPIENT OF THE GREAT SCOT AWARD PHYLLIS LOGAN Phyllis Logan is a Scottish actress, best known for playing the inimitable Mrs. Hughes in Downton Abbey. She hails from Paisley, Scotland and is a graduate of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama where she received the James Bridie Gold Medal in 1977. After graduation, she worked on the stage in Edinburgh as well as regularly on Scottish television. While working on the BBC Scotland production, The White Bird Passes, she met writer-director Michael Radford, who cast her as the lead in the 1983 film Another Time, Another Place, a role for which she won numerous awards. With a substantive list of film and television credits to her name including the films Secrets and Lies, Shooting Fish and the television series Silent Witness, Logan has appeared in the Masterpiece productions And a Nightingale Sang and All the King’s Men. Before her great success in the period drama Downton Abbey, Ms. Logan was most identified with the role of Lady Jane Felsham, co-starring with Ian McShane for eight years in nearly 50 episodes of Lovejoy, a comedy-drama. She also played Inspector Frost’s love interest in the two “If Dogs Run Free” episodes, the last story in the A Touch of Frost television series. She has played Mrs. Hughes, the housekeeper, in all six seasons of Downton Abbey (2010-2015). Logan has a home in Chiswick where she lives with her husband, actor Kevin McNally. PRESENTED BY REBECCA EATON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, MASTERPIECE Rebecca Eaton took the helm of the PBS series MASTERPIECE THEATRE and MYSTERY! in 1985, and in 2008, oversaw a highly successful relaunch of MASTERPIECE, which attracted a new generation of viewers. She has brought American audiences Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall, the recent hits Sherlock, Poldark and Downton Abbey — the most-watched drama in PBS history — as well as such high-profile titles as Mr Selfridge, Endeavour, Wallander, Prime Suspect, Cranford, Little Dorrit, Inspector Lewis, and The Complete Jane Austen. Under her leadership, MASTERPIECE has won 55 Primetime Emmy Awards®, 15 Peabody Awards, six Golden Globes®, and two Academy Award® nominations. In 2011, Eaton was named one of TIME’s 100 most influential people. Her distinguished career has earned her the official recognition of Queen Elizabeth II—with an honorary OBE (Officer, Order of the British Empire). A graduate of Vassar College, Eaton began her career at the BBC World Service, then moved on to PBS station WGBH Boston where she produced programs ranging from business to sports to dance to drama before becoming Executive Producer of MASTERPIECE. Eaton’s memoir, MAKING MASTERPIECE: 25 Years Behind the Scenes at Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! on PBS, was published by Viking in 2013.

  • Bounty Killer
    KickArc and Raindance Entertainment present a Kickstart Production in association with Just Chorizo Productions Bounty Killer Directed by Henry Saine Written by Jason Dodson, Henry Saine & Colin Ebeling Produced by Jason Netter Produced by Colin Ebeling & Henry Saine Executive Produced by Bobby Gerber Tucker Moore Bounty Killer Synopsis It’s been 20 years since the corporations took over the world’s governments. Their thirst for power and profits led to the Corporate Wars, a fierce global battle that laid waste to society as we know it. Born from the ash, the Council of Nine rose as a new law and order for this dark age. To avenge the corporations’ reckless destruction, the Council issues death warrants for all white collar criminals. Their hunters -- the bounty killer. From amateur savage to graceful assassin, the bounty killers now compete for body count, fame and a fat stack of cash. They’re ending the plague of corporate greed and providing the survivors of the apocalypse with retribution. These are the new heroes. This is the age of the BOUNTY KILLER. ____________________________________________________________________ Two of the highest ranked bounty killers in the Thrice Burned Lands, Drifter (Matthew Marsden) and Mary Death (Christian Pitre) team up to exterminate a party full of yellow-tied corporate criminals. Drifter’s explosive killing style is in stark contrast to Mary’s graceful way of delivering death to white collar scum. Despite their difference in style, they exhibit level of comfort with one another that seems to indicate a long and dynamic history between these celebrity assassins. After the fight moves to a skyscraper’s rooftop, Drifter disposes of his intended target and saves Mary from falling to her death -- just another day at the office.

August 2013 ABSTRACT From the late 1970s on, as competition intensified, British broadcasters searched for new ways to cover the escalating budgets for top-end drama. A common industry practice, overseas co-productions seems the fitting answer for most broadcasters; for the BBC, however, creating programmes that appeal to both national and international markets could mean being in conflict with its public service ethos. Paradoxes will always be at the heart of an institution that, while pressured to be profitable, also carries a deep-rooted disapproval of commercialism.

In a performance described by the Guardian (UK) as “harrowing, compelling, unsentimental and altogether magnificent,” Jackson portrays a woman in the grip of dementia trying to solve the case of her missing friend.

January will also see the premiere of a new adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small, a seven-part series based on James Herriot’s heartwarming, entertaining and hilarious adventures as a veterinarian in 1930s Yorkshire; a 1970s adaptation was a hit when it aired on public television. Later in January at the special time of 8pm, MASTERPIECE will air Miss Scarlet and the Duke, a new six-part mystery starring Kate Phillips (Peaky Blinders) as the feisty, first-ever female detective in Victorian London. “We’re thrilled Glenda Jackson will lead off our 50th anniversary year,” says MASTERPIECE executive producer Susanne Simpson. “MASTERPIECE has been home to some of the best British dramas of our time, and a showcase for British ‘acting royalty’ such as Maggie Smith, Kenneth Branagh, Helen Mirren and Benedict Cumberbatch, and of course, Glenda Jackson.” One of the longest-running weekly series on primetime television, MASTERPIECE is presented by WGBH Boston and is funded by Viking, Raymond James and the MASTERPIECE Trust.
