The Lady Vanishes

Keely Hawes

This Christmas the BBC will broadcast The Lady Vanishes, a 90 minute drama staring Keeley Hawes (Ashes To Ashes), Gemma Jones (Spooks), Stephanie Cole (Coronation Street) and Julian Rhind-Tutt (The Hour), alongside Selina Cadell (Toast), Tuppence Middleton (Spies of Warsaw), Jesper Christensen (Melancholia) and Tom Hughes (Silk).

The official synopsis reads: "It is 1931, beautiful and wealthy young socialite Iris Carr (Middleton) is the heart of her social circle. Whilst holidaying with her friends in the Balkans their raucous behaviour escalates and Iris resolves to seek out some tranquillity and travel home alone.
"Iris’s expectations of peace are short lived when she faints on the platform of the railway station in the scorching heat. She wakes in time to be rushed on to the train but with a pounding head and a feeling of being almost in a dream.
"Whilst in this malaise she is comforted by Miss Froy (Cadell), whose tweed suit and bookish looks belie a jovial and adventurous spirit. Miss Froy talks at length about her desperation to return home to her family; but when Iris falls asleep she awakes to find Miss Froy has vanished and her fellow passengers denying she ever existed….
"With only the allegiance of handsome English traveller Max Hare (Hughes) for support, Iris maintains her conviction that Miss Froy has somehow been abducted.
"As fellow passengers refute Iris’s story her conviction appears increasingly to be madness. Iris will have to rely on a strength of character she never knew she had to battle doubt and overcome danger as she strives to solve the mystery of why the lady vanished."

It will be directed by Diarmuid Lawrence (South Riding). Filming begins on location in Budapest this month.

Merlin
Colin Morgan, thats the guy that plays Merlin, told Scifinow:

• “We left Merlin at the end of the last season tipping over into a darker side, and I think that’s a reference for me for the rest of this season,” 
• “I think he is so confident in himself now, and in who he is and what he is destined to do. He has a resilience and power that drives him for this season. He gives as good as he gets.”
• “most important scenes there has ever been in terms of Merlin’s magic.”
• “Arthur is forced to confront magic a lot in this series, and that could change everything, for Merlin and for everyone.”
• “The baby dragon was a big thing for him, something he wanted to do for the future, and it’s actually a little bit upsetting what’s to come with the baby dragon – he’s chosen Morgana!"
• “And something has happened with Morgana in these three years that we don’t know about that from the first, opening episode has put her on such a mission, on such a drive, that it’s terrifying, and nobody knows what it is or what her reasons are.”
• “The dragons have always been, for Merlin, something highly important to him, because he constantly refers to them as kin – he has a connection to them. They are creatures of magic, and regardless of it, there is a lot of loneliness in Merlin.”
