She’s not too worried about what she looks like, she “Jo McDonagh was the first role I was offered doesn’t care about vanity. outside of EastEnders that was really substantial. What tempted me was that I’m a “That said, sometimes I’m very vain, I have to tomboy anyway and the part allows me to admit. She’s not very aware of her femininity, explore that side of my character. Up until then, she was brought up with boys, in much the I’d been playing a character who’s really quite same way as I was. She strives to win – and that glamorous, so taking on such a different role really is the cornerstone of her character. I’m was really important for me. Jo is so unlike not as ambitious as Jo.” Red Cap 5 Interviews For the pilot, Tamzin spent a week at Chilwell, Jo’s greatest adversary in the pilot was Staff an Army training camp in Nottingham, where Sergeant Roper (James Thornton), who resented she was put through her paces by a team of her presence, her keenness and her ambition.

Jo’s not a romantic girl, not at all training for the pilot. Even though Jo’s in the hearts and flowers, so this series will show her SIB now and office bound, she still feels the being as romantic as she can get.

I did about half the stunts in the series. working on EastEnders and I had a good time I’ve been chucked against a few walls and doing it. It was very intense work because there’s something in me, probably quite like Jo, Melanie was imprisoned and pregnant and, just that doesn’t like to wear a back brace and wants when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, her to do my own stunts.

Jo’s a bit Tamzin’s had a busy year since she left more confident now, she’s not so much the ‘new EastEnders and is currently filming a new girl’ and it’s more about proving her worth to drama by Deborah Moggach, Final Demand, herself than to the others.” also for BBC One. Red Cap 6 Interviews “Final Demand has a very good contemporary edge to it. My character is a manipulative scheming little cow, which is great fun to play,” she says. “My career is moving on in a way that I never expected it to. I always had goals and it feels like I’ve passed those. Now I’ll have to think of new things I want to do, but at the moment I’m just happy playing different characters with good scripts. I’d love to do some theatre again at some stage and I’d really love to do a film. It’s finding the right time, it’s fitting it in, choosing the right projects.” Being so busy has left Tamzin with little free time. “I should have had more of a social life since I left EastEnders, but no. I went away to Thailand for a couple of weeks when I finished filming and felt completely replenished and wonderful. I’ve had a couple of breaks since and also a two-week holiday in Dubai after filming Red Cap. There’s a lot of other stuff happening next year, and I’m reading a lot of scripts, but they are still in the discussion phase.” Although Tamzin is very much a family person and is particularly close to her parents and her brothers, it is likely to be some time before she can start a family of her own. “Family is very important to me. With things like family, you need to be committed and at the moment my career is so intense that it would be impossible to include anything like that. I get to see as much of my parents and brothers as I can. One brother is travelling the world, the other is extremely busy. It’s just taking things day by day, and at the moment it’s a work phase. At the end of the year I’ll have a month or so off and that will be a heavenly relief – some time to myself, finally.” Red Cap 7 Interviews Douglas Hodge plays Sergeant Major Kenneth Burns Douglas Hodge, one of the UK’s most versatile crisp and clear, everything is done in perfect actors, is rarely off the television screen, order. I think he responds to that kind of routine whether playing Roger Carbury – “the nicest and discipline. man in England” – in The Way We Live Now, or “a psychotic, mad, lost, self-hating killer” in “Once we started the series, we knew he was a The Russian Bride. As Sergeant Major Burns in typical work-loving obsessive, who liked to Red Cap, he brings a subtle sensitivity and a manipulate his team to get the best out of them, sense of humour to the role of the tough, to the point where it could be quite dangerous,” hardened military policeman. explains Hodge. “He’s quite a frightening man, I think. Family is more important to him than “My character in Red Cap is diametrically anything, and those kind of old-fashioned moral opposed to the last few parts I’ve played,” values are very fiercely protected.

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.

  • Production Notes Tank 432 (Aka Belly of the Bulldog)
    PRODUCTION NOTES TANK 432 (AKA BELLY OF THE BULLDOG) LOG LINE: From Executive Producer Ben Wheatley (Director ­ Kill List, High Rise), comes this knife­edged thriller about a band of mercenary soldiers battling to escape a mysterious, unseen enemy. SYNOPSIS: On the run and with nowhere to hide, a group of mercenaries find themselves surrounded by an unidentified enemy. As gunfire hails down and their mysterious pursuers begin to close in, they must keep moving to find safe shelter. The only chance of survival is to hide inside an abandoned tank discovered by inexperienced soldier, Reeves (Rupert Evans ­ Hell Boy, The Boy, Man in the High Castle). Once holed up inside the tank, they quickly discover the hatch is jammed and there is no way out. As the mercenaries begin their desperate search for anything that may aid their escape, they fall upon a shocking discovery: confidential files on dowens of soldiers; all listed as missing in action. Within those listed, are their own names. As discoveries are made inside the tank and they struggle to keep the forces outside at bay, little do they realise the real enemy is already amongst them, locked inside Tank 432. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION: “We’ve captured some of the most explosive sequences I could ever of hoped for, and having Ben involved from script stage has really helped these elements come together,” said Writer­Director Nick Gillespie. “We really got our hands dirty filming this one, cutting the sides off real tanks, running people over with tanks, setting people’s heads on fire, and things like that.
