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.

Homeland Series 2 Trailer

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.”

TV NEWS - New Dracula Series, "Merlin" Trailer, "Family Guy" In The UK, "Life On Mars" E-Books

Dracula On It's Way To Sky Living
After years of tepid supernaturals and non-existant facial expressions, The Twilight Saga is finally ending. So it's unsurprising that a new vampire series is moving in to take it's place, and it's in the form of a new adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors) is set to play the title role. We'll keep updating you when we learn more.

BBC Release Trailer For Series 5 Of Merlin

The new trailer for the upcoming series of Merlin has been shown on BBC channels. The trailer confirms that the series will return to BBC 1 this autumn.

To me, the trailer doesn't really look very interesting. The show is called Merlin, yet there seems to be more emphasis on Arthur and Gwen. Having said that, loving the Muse!

New Series Of Family Guy In UK

On Sunday, the first episode of the new series of the hit American comedy Family Guy was aired on BBC 3. If you missed the episode you can catch it on BBC iPlayer. If you didn't, tell us what you thought of it in the comments.

Life On Mars E-Books

Earlier this month, author Tom Graham announced that he would be writing four novels based on the hit 2005 TV series Life On Mars. The stories will feature the characters Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt, as played by John Simm and Philip Glenister in the original series, and will carry on where the final series left off. Maybe they will bridge the gap between Life On Mars and its sister series Ashes To Ashes?

TV NEWS - Merlin and Inbetweeners news

Merlin
Merlin will air on the 29th of September when there will be 13 new episodes!

The Inbetweeners
The Inbetweeners are going to america for an American version of the film. Shh i know it isn't really tv news.
And in the TV series remake a new picture has been released. And yes it looks terrible and very American. The fact that the guy on the left is holding a yellow car door, they are just using the same scripts as the originals. As the Americans don't like this kind of comedy, which is why they canceled Skins because it pictures teenagers doing "unrealistic things" and picturing them in a bad way.

And thats it
