We wanted to create a show that is tonally mysterious, it has a darkness to it but also a humour, it is a heightened reality full of metaphors about what it means to be human. At the heart of this story are the characters but Eden is also set in a unique and unusual world, there is a mystery at the heart of the town – a world that is influenced by nature and the location itself which is very much another character in the show – it is unsettling and uneasy at times. What the show really looks at is the veneer of paradise and what really lies beneath it. 10 11 HIGHLIGHT SERIES HIGHLIGHT The sense of warmth and community, now more than ever, “ feels nigh on irresistible all creatures The Daily Telegraph ” Great & small Based on the worldwide Mrs Hall: Anna Madeley (The Child in Time, Patrick Melrose) Helen: Rachel Shenton (Switched at Birth, White Gold) best-selling novels Mrs Pumphrey: Dame Diana Rigg (Victoria, Game of Thrones) Writer: Ben Vanstone (The Last Kingdom) Fresh out of Glasgow Veterinary College, Director: Brian Percival (The Book Thief, Downton Abbey) Producer: Richard Burrell (New Tricks, Silent Witness) James Herriot follows his dream to become Executive Producers: Colin Callender, Melissa Gallant, a vet in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales.

    Taboo : why are real-life British serial killers rarely represented on film?

Taboo: Why are Real-Life British Serial Killers Rarely Represented on Film? Antony Robert Earnshaw Sheffield Hallam University MA English by Research September 2017 1 Abstract This thesis assesses changing British attitudes to the dramatisation of crimes committed by domestic serial killers and highlights the dearth of films made in this country on this subject. It discusses the notion of taboos and, using empirical and historical research, illustrates how filmmakers’ attempts to initiate productions have been vetoed by social, cultural and political sensitivities. Comparisons are drawn between the prevalence of such product in the United States and its uncommonness in Britain, emphasising the issues around the importing of similar foreign material for exhibition on British cinema screens and the importance of geographic distance to notions of appropriateness. The influence of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is evaluated. This includes a focus on how a central BBFC policy – the so- called 30-year rule of refusing to classify dramatisations of ‘recent’ cases of factual crime – was scrapped and replaced with a case-by-case consideration that allowed for the accommodation of a specific film championing a message of tolerance.

    Channel 5, Playground and MASTERPIECE on PBS Announce Cast for All Creatures Great and Small

    EMBARGOED UNTIL 7:01PM ET TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH Channel 5, Playground And MASTERPIECE On PBS Announce Cast For All Creatures Great And Small Newcomer Nicholas Ralph to play beloved vet James Herriot opposite Samuel West, Anna Madeley, Callum Woodhouse and Rachel Shenton Channel 5, BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning production company Playground (Howards End, Wolf Hall) and MASTERPIECE on PBS today announced the casting of key roles for their upcoming adaptation of best-selling author James Herriot’s cherished collection of stories, written by Ben Vanstone (The Last Kingdom) and directed by Brian Percival (Downton Abbey). Exciting newcomer Nicholas Ralph will make his television debut as the iconic vet who became renowned for his inspiring compassion, humour and love of life. Samuel West (Mr. Selfridge, On Chesil Beach) joins as Siegfried Farnon, the wonderfully eccentric veteri- nary surgeon and proprietor of Skeldale House who reluctantly hires the recently qualified Herriot into his rural practice. Mrs Hall, the resident housekeeper and matriarch of Skeldale House will be played by Anna Madeley (The Child in Time, Patrick Melrose). Siegfried’s errant and charismatic younger brother, Tristan, will be played by Callum Woodhouse (The Durrells in Corfu). Rachel Shenton (Switched at Birth, White Gold) takes the role of Helen Alderson, an independent local farmer’s daughter who helps her father manage the family farm and care for her younger sister. “This is an exceptional cast made up of a wonderful mix of exciting new and established talent,” says executive producer Colin Callender. “Re-visiting the world of All Creatures Great and Small is like going home and re-discovering old friends whom we haven’t seen in years.

    Ashes to Ashes (DVD) Talent: Keeley Hawes, Philip Glenister, Dean Andrews, Marshall Lancaster, Montserrat Lombard. Director: Johnny Campbell, Bille Eltringham Classification: M (Mature) Duration: 516 minutes (including 8 episodes) We rate it: Five stars. Date of review: 22nd October, 2009 Several years ago, audiences in both the UK and Australia were introduced to the wondrous BBC drama Life on Mars. Taking its name from a David Bowie song, Life on Mars followed the intriguing exploits of a 2006 Manchester cop, Sam Tyler, (played by the wonderful John Simm) who was hit by a car and seemingly sent back in time to 1973. The show functioned as a compelling psychological thriller, following Tyler’s efforts to discover what had sent him back in time (was he in a coma, dying, dreaming, or in some kind of limbo-land or Purgatory?) and his attempts to escape 1973 and get back to his life in 2006. At the same time, the show was a loving and at times hilarious re-creation of the 1970s British cop-show milieu (think of The Sweeney crossed with The Professionals, but shot with today’s filmmaking technology), and it featured the wonderful Philip Glenister as the now-iconic DCI Gene Hunt, a politically- incorrect, hilariously foul-mouthed and utterly lovable character who infuriated Tyler as often as he helped him in his various quests. Life on Mars was a critical and commercial hit, and it spawned a tremendously effective second series. The characters central to Life on Mars were both sympathetic and fascinating, the writing and direction of the episodes occasionally awe-inspiring, and the mystery at the heart of the entire show was brilliantly handled to the very end.
