Bafta TV awards coverage on BBC1 pulls in biggest audience since 2004

14 May 2013 3:04 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

Ceremony was watched by an average of 6.1 million, beating ITV's The Suspicions of Mr Whicher

BBC1's TV Bafta awards coverage, featuring Olivia Colman's popular double win, averaged just over 6 million viewers on Sunday night – the event's biggest audience for nearly a decade.

The event attracted an average of 6.1 million viewers, and a 25.5% share of viewing between 8pm and 10pm.

BBC1's audience reached a 15-minute peak of 6.6 million as the awards drew to a close – surprises included ITV's exposé of Jimmy Savile and the BBC's coverage of the London Olympics failing to win prizes.

Viewing bounced back after last year's TV Baftas attracted a relatively paltry 3.5 million viewers, losing out in a head-to-head with ITV1's Soccer Aid, which drew an audience of 4.5 million.

The 2013 awards attracted the biggest audience for the TV Baftas since 2004, when ITV1's coverage averaged 6.4 million viewers. In 2011, the BBC's coverage attracted 5.35 million viewers. »

Prepare for 'The World's End'

13 May 2013 10:11 AM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »

It's a good day for comedy, because we now have a trailer for The World's End, the new film from director Edgar Wright.

Yes, Wright and Simon Pegg are finally getting the band back together to make the final installment of the series that began with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, known as the "Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy" because in each film, at some point one of the characters enjoys a particular flavor of Cornetto ice cream. In Shaun, it was red strawberry Cornetto, and in Hot Fuzz it was blue original Cornetto. In The World's End, it's green mint choc-chip, topped off with a whole lotta ale!

In The World's End, old friends reunite after 20 years to recapture their youth by completing a pub crawl that bested them as younger men. (If you think about it, the plot somewhat echoes Wright, Pegg and Nick Frost getting together to make this film. »

The Suspicions of Mr Whicher; The Fantastic Mr Feynman – TV review

12 May 2013 11:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

A modest, well-adjusted detective, more plodding than the actual plod

Crime dramas on ITV, they're like buses – you wait for one ... you know how it goes. Three in four days by my count, all of which in some way resemble certain BBC shows. Well you get copycat crime, why not copycat crime drama? So the strange Murder on the Home Front on Thursday was a bit Waking the Dead and a bit Silent Witness but set in 1940, maybe to lure in a historical fiction/period drama/Call The Midwife audience as well. Then Life of Crime on Friday, about a female fed fighting her shouty misogynist colleagues (sexist pigs?) in the 80s to a soundtrack of Culture Club and Duran Duran, was basically Ashes to Ashes minus the sci-fi.

And now this – The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (ITV, Sunday) – all murky Victorian London streets, dodgy geezers with mutton chops drinking »

Olivia Colman rules BAFTA TV awards as 'Girls' and 'Game of Thrones' also take gold

12 May 2013 4:52 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

Well, I'll say this for BAFTA: they know how to make an apology. You may remember that the British Academy came in for some flak last year when they announced their film award nominations -- and beloved local actress Olivia Colman, who otherwise cleaned up on the UK awards circuit for her shattering lead turn in Paddy Considine's "Tyrannosaur," wasn't on the Best Actress list. Fans and professional peers alike voiced their dismay on social media and in public, and BAFTA stood accused of being out of touch with their own industry. A little over a year later, and BAFTA's TV »

BBC Films falls in love with Matthias Schoenaerts, Danny Boyle reminisces with Philip French, and Olivia Colman seeks direction in the wrong quarter

Bulging Belgian

A year ago he was a little-known Belgian actor. Then, on the first Thursday of Cannes 2012, came Rust and Bone and Matthias Schoenaerts – playing a bare-knuckle boxer opposite Marion Cotillard – was suddenly the hottest discovery on the Croisette.

The British film industry in particular seems to have fallen for Schoenaert , and he'll be seen in three forthcoming BBC Films productions. First there's A Little Chaos (directed by Alan Rickman), in which he plays the head gardener at Versailles opposite Kate Winslet's headstrong landscaper. Then he'll go straight to the set of Saul Dibb's production of the second world war drama Suite française, some of which is being shot in his native Belgium. In that, he'll play a German officer opposite Michelle Williams and Kristin Scott Thomas. »

Paddy Considine Talks ‘The World’s End’ Cornetto Trilogy Finale

11 May 2013 2:26 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

The vastly talented Paddy Considine has been talking to Digital Spy about his experience the hardcore Edgar Wright, getting back together with Pegg & Frost for The World’S End and more about his character in the upcoming finale to the ‘Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy’ out in the UK on July 19th and following in the USA on August 23rd.

Considine also took his place in Hot Fuzz as the other half of the two arrogant country cops (the other played by Rafe Spall), and has since cemented himself in the industry with the truly harrowing, yet excellent, Tyrannosaur. However, he actually found The World’S End one of the toughest shoots in recent times, saying this:

“It was hard – we were up against it – weather-wise, schedule-wise… it was tough, but we kept ourselves amused and when one [of us] was dipping, somebody else rallied round and pulled them out. We were a »

'What was my most embarrassing moment? When I wet myself on stage'

Olivia Colman, 39, was born in Norfolk. She studied at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and then played Sophie in the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show. She appeared in Shane Meadows's film Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee and was Carol Thatcher in The Iron Lady.

Andrea Arnold Lines Up U.S. Film Plus Paddy Considine & Shane Meadows Working On New Projects

10 May 2013 10:23 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

The UK’s Film4 have updated their current development slate, and with films like Shane Meadows’ “The Stone Roses: Made Of Stone,” Ben Wheatley’s “A Field in England” and Jonathan Glazer’s “Under The Skin” all edging their way closer to release, we’ve now got news of some of the new projects these directors have underway. Andrea Arnold’s fourth feature, and her first since 2011’s “Wuthering Heights,” will be a Us-set drama called “Mag Crew.” The film is apparently inspired by "teenage magazine sales crews" and looks set to shoot in the Us in 2014 after the script is completed later this year. It will be Arnold’s first film set outside of her native UK, and we imagine that means we can probably expect to see it sometime in 2015. Paddy Considine and Shane Meadows are both developing original dramatic features, meanwhile, and as much as we’d »

The Flickering Myth writing team look at the trailer for the final part of the Cornetto trilogy...

How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Edgar Wright and co dropped the first trailer for the last part of their Cornetto Trilogy that started with Shaun of the Dead and carried on with Hot Fuzz. The World's End could very well mark the last time we see Wright team up with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost who have been working together since their 1999 TV series Spaced.

"In The World’s End, 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King (Simon Pegg), a 40-year-old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their hometown and once again attempts to »

Edgar Wright is taking fans on a supernatural trip through England once again in his latest project, "The World's End." This movie serves as a spiritual successor to "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," and stars many of Wright's favorite British actors.

The film follows a group of five friends who seek to recreate a pub crawl from their youths by making their way to the final stop on the tour, The World's End. As shown in the above trailer, that doesn't go quite as planned, as some sort of alien creatures seem to have taken over their hometown.

"The World's End" stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Paddy Considine. It's due in theaters on Aug. 22.

First World's End trailer is a slice of fried gold

A Starfleet Officer, Hobbit and Zombie walk into a bar...

That might seem like an intro to the nerdiest joke this side of Comic-Con, but it could also serve as an oversimplified summary for the plot of the final film in Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, The World's End.

Pegg and trilogy co-star Nick Frost join Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Paddy Considine in the Wright-directed flick, which tells the story of five childhood friends who reunite 20 years later in an attempt to recreate and finally complete an epic pub crawl. As it turns out, reaching their final destination - fabled pub The World's End - is the least of their worries as they end up fighting for not only their survival, but humanity's as well.

The first trailer for the movie has finally dropped and unsurprisingly folks, it's a slice of fried gold. From »
