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 »

The World's End trailer: last orders for mankind?
8 May 2013 9:41 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The trailer has landed for Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's comedy about a group of mates attempting to finish a legendary pub crawl after 20 years – only to walk into an alien invasion
It's been a time of ups and downs for the writing team behind The World's End, director Edgar Wright and star Simon Pegg, since the duo's last film, Hot Fuzz, brought the buddy cop genre to a small town in rural Gloucestershire back in 2007. Wright won critical acclaim for the wonderfully dry, visually splendid Canadian comic book caper Scott Pilgrim vs the World but saw his rather expensive film become one of 2010's most high-profile box-office turkeys. Pegg has become Hollywood's go-to guy for comedic Brit sidekick roles in blockbuster sagas such as Star Trek and Mission: Impossible, yet struggled a little when placed centre-stage in middling fare such as last year's A Fantastic Fear of Everything and 2011's off-kilter Paul. »

Paddy Considine on The World's End: Edgar Wright a tough son of a gun
7 May 2013 10:30 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Paddy Considine has discussed reuniting with Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg on The World's End, the final movie in the 'Three Flavours Cornetto' trilogy.
Considine, who played DS Andy Wainwright in Hot Fuzz, told Digital Spy that the shoot for World's End was the most difficult he's ever experienced.
"It was hard - we were up against it - weather-wise, schedule-wise... it was tough," he said. "But we kept ourselves amused and when one [of us] was dipping, somebody else rallied round and pulled them out. We were a little gang of five against the world - well, six, including Edgar.
"It was a tough shoot, but what I've seen of it looks fantastic. Edgar's such a great talent - I love him to bits. I'm not hyping it - it does look incredible."
Considine promised that the sci-fi film will give Pegg the opportunity to unleash his "inner hooligan".

New Who Review: The Crimson Horror
6 May 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Gated communities are usually met with some suspicion and mistrust – in this case it’s rightly founded. Something is wrong in Sweetville, and The Doctor is red in the face about it. A bunch of friends reappear to help combat…
The Crimson Horror
by Mark Gatiss
Directed by Saul Metzstein
People are turning up dead in the canal in Victorian Yorkshire, their bodies in varied states of petrifaction and their skin a lobster red. Madame Vastra and Jenny are asked to investigate, and when they realize that The Doctor is somehow involved, they hurry to investigate. A woman is establishing her own ark on dry land, planning to survive the next torrent, not of rain, but of poison.
Mark Gatiss balances comedy and horror with a deft hand, being given the reins on the investigating Silurian and her companions. This may be the closest we ever get to a completely solo Vastra and Jenny adventure, »

'Two Pints': ''Orrible' and more: The UK's 5 Worst Sitcoms
26 April 2013 2:40 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
It's a tough ol' time for the UK sitcom right now - even TV veterans can't seem to crack the genre of late. Ben Elton - he of Blackadder and The Young Ones fame - just spewed out the critically-mauled The Wright Way for BBC One, while over on ITV, luminaries of stage and screen Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi are about to indulge in the dubious pleasures of Vicious - a catty comedy that feels like it was heading for 1974 and somehow got lost along the way.
The sitcom has always been a tough nut to crack, of course - this country has produced some absolute classics, but also some absolute stinkers. This week's Friday Fiver is all about the misfires, the failures, the disasters.
Heard the phrase "So bad it's good"? Well, this bunch of 'comedies' were just plain bad.

The Wright Way: Ben Elton And 4 Other Comedy Legends Who Lost Their Way
24 April 2013 1:24 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
“The whole thing is irredeemably dreadful” cries the Guardian. “It’s a shamelessly broad, deliberately lowest-common-denominator sitcom” it continues, barely unable to contain their vitriolic anger. “It should be thrown on a pile of dung and set ablaze with a thousand gypsy women dancing and singing folk songs of yore around it” it doesn’t add. But it should. Then again that’s probably why I don’t write for the Guardian. And what is the target of this focused fury and bile?
Ben Elton’s new sitcom; The Wright Way.
I do think it’s pretty funny that we live in a society where unbridled anger can be unleashed so masterfully at a mass market sitcom. But it is anger from a place of regret at what this once dynamic comic has become. This man who was once the staple of 80’s political satire is now reduced to BBC »

The Wright Way: the sitcom that proves Ben Elton is no longer remotely funny
22 April 2013 6:13 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
How is it possible this dire new comedy was written by the same person behind Blackadder and The Young Ones?
In his 2001 novel Dead Famous, Ben Elton painted a nightmarish vision of television's future; a future where reality show producers would deliberately murder their contestants in order to boost ratings. And yet the real future of television would turn out to be so much more nightmarish than that – not because there are murders, but because Elton is still allowed to write sitcoms.
On Tuesday night, BBC1 will air the first episode of Elton's newest sitcom. It is entitled The Wright Way, because the surname of the main character is called Wright. It is set in a local council's health-and-safety department, because everyone who's ever read a Richard Littlejohn column knows what a bunch of clowns those people are. One of the characters is nominally a lesbian, solely because the word »

Margaret Thatcher had the last laugh in comedy
10 April 2013 7:34 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Thatcher left an indelible impression on the comedy landscape, still felt today – sometimes in the strangest of ways
Say what you like about Margaret Thatcher (and many people have, these last few days), but she gave comedians something to get their teeth into. In 1979, within weeks of the new Pm moving into Downing Street, the Comedy Store opened its doors in Meard Street in nearby Soho. Or maybe it wasn't so coincidental. Change was in the air, particularly when Britain plunged rapidly into a deep economic recession. Tougher times called for tougher punchlines.

Comedy after 1979 found a new edge, inspired by both anger at the brutality of the Pm's divisive rightwing policies and also the two-fingered irreverence of punk rock. Alexei Sayle symbolised the rage of alternative comedy, bouncing up and down in his too-tight suit: "People say at least you knew where you were with Margaret Thatcher. »

Rewind TV: The Village; Jonathan Creek; Game of Thrones – review
6 April 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The Village proved an antidote to Downton while Jonathan Creek was an all-star treat and Game of Thrones topped off a perfect week for drama
The Village (BBC1) | iPlayer

I must admit, this was a good week for Tony Hall to arrive at/ return to the BBC. It could have been worse. Any week involving the word Pudsey or royal or featuring endless "creative meetings" showcasing depressively derivative suggestions on how to compete against – meaning limply copy – Downton, The Cube or The X Factor. But last Monday he must surely have sauntered in, after finally getting clearance from the doorman who refused to believe him, smacked his hands together happily, suggested they hold off the latest Savile tawdries or corporate nonsenses for an hour and said, simply: can we just talk about what we allegedly do, make programmes, and specifically about last night, »

Why is Britain so bad at standup sitcoms?
5 April 2013 4:13 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
As Lee Mack returns for a sixth series of Not Going Out, Leo Benedictus asks if a British standup comedian has ever made a really good sitcom
Now I've thought about this carefully and I'm happy to be corrected, but I don't think a British standup comedian has ever made a decent sitcom. And this isn't because they've not been trying. Sue Perkins delivered six episodes of Heading Out in February, which will be (for some reason) released on DVD next week. Tonight, Lee Mack returns to BBC1 with a sixth series of Not Going Out, which – let's give it time – may yet show that the first five were just a lengthy warm-up.
This is starkly different from how things are in America. There, a stage career is basically an audition for one on television – or even in movies – where the fame and money is. Often the transition may even improve a comic's work, »

Family feuds, fire-breathing dragons, ruthless villains … what more could you want?
• Jonathan Creek on iPlayer
'You are an ill-made, spiteful little creature full of envy, lust and low cunning." Sheez, Dad, said Tyrion Lannister's eyes, tell me something I don't know. Randy dwarf (Peter Dinklage) had come to ask his fearsome father (Charles Dance) when he was going to get the castle that was his birthright. The man who is Shield of Lannisport and Warden of the West glowered ancestral glower at his disappointment of a son. "Neither gods nor men will compel me to turn Casterly Rock into your whorehouse." That'll be a never then.
One of the many pleasures of Game of Thrones (Sky Atlantic), whose third series began last night, is Charles Dance. I've carried a torch for him ever since he had an unexpectedly tender thing with Sigourney Weaver in Alien 3, before he got done »

BBC's Shane Allen: 'I'm doing the job of comedy gods'

The new controller of comedy commissioning on Mrs Brown's Boys, Frankie Boyle – and why it's important to take a joke
Frankie Boyle may make BBC comeback
Those who detest BBC1's raucous comedy Mrs Brown's Boys are going to be disappointed: Shane Allen, the new BBC controller of comedy commissioning, loves the show that has puzzled some critics but averaged nearly 10 million viewers for its latest series and won last year's Bafta award for best sitcom.
"Before Mrs Brown's Boys there was this self-appointed cabal saying what was cool and what was great," says Allen, in his first interview since moving to the BBC from Channel 4 (where "anything that got over a million was decent"). "It was a game-changer. I think sometimes people in TV land make TV for people in TV land, and Mrs Brown's Boys is a perfect example of how to serve an audience. »

Ade Edmondson: 'We don't celebrate enough in Britain'
26 February 2013 4:00 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
Ade Edmondson has said that the UK doesn't spend enough time celebrating "our present", complaining TV shows focus too much on "fear" and "things going wrong".
The TV comic, who found fame on The Young Ones and Bottom, said that he hopes his ITV series Ade in Britain will showcase British eccentrics and the more positive sides of Britain.
"I don't think we celebrate enough of our present. When you look at the way Britain is presented on TV today, you'd think it was all fear and things going wrong," he told Digital Spy.
"But you know aside from what news people tell us is the agenda, people just get on with stuff and there are interesting people doing interesting things everywhere.
"We're made out to be one homogenised mass and we're not at all. We're all quite eccentric. Do you know anyone who is totally sane? People are lovably different. »
'My Mad Fat Diary' Sharon Rooney interview: 'I adored Spice World'
20 February 2013 7:25 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
My Mad Fat Diary has been a joyous, surprising and heartwarming success on E4.
A drama about a recovering 16-year-old who has mental health, self-harm and body image issues doesn't necessarily sound like a recipe for a hit, but thanks to a brilliantly balanced performance from newcomer Sharon Rooney, an awesome Britpop-tastic soundtrack and a super sharp sense of humour, the show has triumphed and has already bagged a second series.
Digital Spy caught up with Rooney to chat about the show's success, her unwavering passion for Spice World and her secret sporting talent.
The show has generated a brilliant response. You must be chuffed.
"It's been overwhelming. My hope was that audiences would like Rae and understand Rae and they totally have. It's not just been young girls and boys, it's been adults saying 'thank you' and that really is quite humbling. I just hope that the show helps »
