Heartbroken anD Desperate to get to the bottom of what happened to Abigail, Harding accuses Sidney of having an inappropriate relationship with her. Sidney is DetermineD to prove his innocence but will HarDing’s accusations change the way the villagers feel about him?

In 1954 murDerers were still hangeD. AnD in this new series Sidney anD GeorDie have to face up to the consequences of becoming such an accomplisheD crime fighting Duo. For SiDney, in particular, as the vicar in a small village this becomes increasingly Difficult. In the final episoDe of the last series, GeorDie was shot on Duty.

But underneath his carefree exterior there are new feelings of vulnerability, and this puts a strain on his relationship with Cathy, anD his frienDship with SiDney. SiDney is still single anD Geordie makes it his mission to finD him a woman. But the handsome vicar clearly still has eyes for AmanDa – whom we last saw when she was about to marry SiDney’s rival Guy (Tom Austen).

Grantchester is a KuDos anD MASTERPIECE co-production for ITV and Endemol Shine International hold the international Distribution rights. 4 JAMES NORTON IS SIDNEY CHAMBERS What response have you had from members of the public following series one of Grantchester? It’s been very positive anD lots of people have been asking when there’s going to be a seconD series. There seems to be a real Devotion to it, which is lovely. Generally if people have watcheD one or two episoDes they’ve watched them all anD they love it, which is fantastic. We feel blesseD by the response anD the Grantchester fans seem very loyal. They know everything about it anD they love all the Different elements from Dickens the Dog to all the other characters. Robson anD I have talked about how blessed we feel by the response. It’s testament to the show. It’s warm anD affectionate anD feels like a happy place that people want to return to. It’s got that bite but it’s also warm escapism. What was it like being reunited with the cast for series 2? It was lovely. For the last month of shooting the first series a lot of time was spent speculating as to whether or not there woulD be a second series. We only find out once the series has been aired, so there’s a strange moment when you say gooDbye to everyone having finisheD filming because we Don’t know if we’ll be seeing each other for a seconD series or not. We hopeD so much that Grantchester woulD return. Me, Al Weaver who plays LeonarD anD Tessa Peake-Jones who plays Mrs Maguire spent ages on set speculating anD fantasising over what storylines coulD be written and where it might take us, so it was so lovely to return for series two. It’s reassuring how quickly it all comes back. You realise that all those relationships anD interactions anD dynamics are all bedded in. It’s a nice back catalogue of memories so the seconD series was so easy because you’ve got all these memories you createD for the first series. What was it like returning to the real Grantchester village where the series is filmed? It’s lovely anD feels like home from home. First time arounD I think the villagers initially were slightly wary but this time, for them to have gone through the experience of one series, watcheD anD enjoyeD it 5 anD then have us back again, was great. It was lovely because they seemeD really happy to have us back which makes such a Difference. Our relationship with the village itself is so important to the show. When I stanD up in front of the congregation most of them are the real villagers from Grantchester (they were inviteD to be extras) anD they are the same faces from the first series. It’s so nice for me to see them again anD to get to learn more of their names anD have relationships with them as inDiviDuals – it helps it become more like a true village church in the 50s. We were very grateful anD so toucheD that they were happy to have us back anD visa versa. At the beginning of episode one, Sidney is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a teenager. This is not the Sidney we know. Is this series a little darker than the previous series? That moment (of SiDney being accuseD), which is early on, sets the tone for this series. I think it will surprise people. Having spent the first series establishing all the characters anD the relationships anD allowing the auDience to grew an affection towards those people, it feels that with the second series we’ve earneD the right to thwart those relationships anD threaten them anD put them through their paces. Now the relationships are established we’re spending more time on the plot for each episode anD also on the overarching narrative. Now we can also take more risks anD be a bit Darker. The writing generally feels like it’s got more of an edge to it.

Shakespeare’s Globe is proud to have played a part in those celebrations in 197 countries and led the festivities in London, where Shakespeare wrote and worked. Our Globe to Globe Hamlet tour travelled 193,000 miles before coming home for a final emotional performance in the Globe to mark the end, not just of this phenomenal worldwide journey, but the artistic handover from Dominic Dromgoole to Emma Rice. A memorable season of late Shakespeare plays in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and two outstanding Globe transfers in the West End ran concurrently with the last leg of the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour. On Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April, we welcomed President Obama to the Globe.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Everything Goes Back to the Beginning: Television Adaptation & Remaking
    Everything Goes Back to the Beginning: television adaptation & remaking Nordic noir Abstract: As television drama undergoes a renaissance across Europe and the US, this article focuses on remakes of ‘Nordic noir’ crime serials. The genre has its origins in contemporary literary fiction, and became a cinema cause célèbre with the Swedish adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium novels, and the controversial US remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. While adaptation scholars have long discredited comparative approaches based on the source/target text binary organised along value-judgement lines, in terms of television remakes, the opposite is fast becoming the case; comparisons between different versions of the same narrative becomes playful and almost vital aspect of contemporary adaptation. While some theorists have argued that remakes often attempt to efface previous versions, in television, the opposite can be true. In examining the remakes of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Forbrydelsen (The Killing), Broen/Bron (The Bridge & The Tunnel) and Broadchurch (Gracepoint), this article proposes that a new type of ‘synchronous’ or ‘active’ adaptation invites some audiences to engage in a far more playful exchange of textual moments, augmented and overseen by social media, and that television remakes are now reflecting this. Back to the Beginning. 1. Contributor’s Details: Richard Berger is Associate Professor of Media and Education, at the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP), Bournemouth University, UK. Richard is editor of the Media Education Research Journal (MERJ) and has written widely on adaptation and has presented at many European and US Conferences.

The world’s economic outlook is still precarious and to appease a restless population the authorities have decriminalised all classes of recreational drugs. The ‘Drecks’ are an elite unit created by an over- stretched police force to keep the black market dealers off the streets and the licensed drug companies rich. Dreck and recovering addict Frank Grieves is called to investigate an unidentifiable corpse out in the Kindle District, an industrial wasteland beyond the teeming Central City. The victim had been injected through the eye socket with a substance that cannot be traced on any of the licenced databases. As he starts to dig deeper, Grieves soon suspects that Ambro, the largest and most profitable of all the licensed drugs companies, is behind the new, experimental drug. When his superiors promptly warn him off any further investigation, Grieves soon learns that Ambro’s influence runs deep within the establishment. Nonetheless, Grieves returns to the crime scene for another look, where he discovers a young woman being attacked by a masked assailant. Grieves fails to apprehend the attacker, but soon learns that the young woman, Eva, has also been using this mysterious drug.
