John Simm - The Devil's Whore

This epic, four part new drama co-created by Martine Brant and BAFTA-winning playwright Peter Flannery, tells the story of the seismic events of 17th century England, when political disobedience turned to revolution and civil war, and English history changed forever. The story is told through the experiences of a spirited aristocratic woman, Angelica Fanshawe (Andrea Riseborough), whom fate has decreed shall come to know the key figures on both sides of this bitter conflict. It is a story not just of political and historical significance, but of love, loss, murder, courage and betrayal.

Angelica is born in 1623, into an uncertain world. England is divided both politically and religiously. When Angelica’s deeply religious mother gives up her daughter and flees to France to the sanctuary of a Catholic convent, the child Angelica curses God. Thereafter, at key moments throughout the rest of her life, she is haunted by images of the Devil, seemingly cursed for her moment of rash blasphemy.

As the years pass, Angelica becomes part of the royal court of Charles I (Peter Capaldi), enjoying a life of carefree privilege. She is engaged to her childhood sweetheart, her cousin Harry Fanshawe (Ben Aldridge), and looks forward to their future together at Fanshawe House.

But, unbeknown to the naïve, youthful Angelica, England is changing. Outside her gilt-edged world of luxury, the people are poor, sick, hungry and angry.

Increasingly people are demanding society, and government, change radically to ensure a better life for all. One such man is John Lilburn (Tom Goodman-Hill) whose campaigning on behalf of the common man sees him at odds with the authorities. On the day of her marriage, Angelica witnesses his brutal public flogging as his wife Elizabeth (Maxine Peake) looks on. That same day, a mercenary and soldier for hire, Edward Sexby (John Simm), visit’s the palace, where he is captivated by Angelica’s beauty.

Soon after their wedding, Harry and Angelica are visited at home by Elizabeth Lilburne, who has walked, heavily pregnant, from London, to plead with Harry to intercede on her imprisoned husband’s behalf. Loyal royalist Harry dismisses her immediately, and is appalled when Angelica questions his decision. But for Angelica, the seeds of her political awareness are sewn. She persuades Sexby to take her to prison to visit Lilburne, to hear what he has to say. In the meeting, Lilburne is flanked by two supporters, also paying a visit. They are Thomas Rainsborough (Michael Fassbender) and Oliver Cromwell (Dominic West).

Soon afterwards, amidst mounting public pressure, Lilburne is released from prison. With the authority of the throne under threat, the King marches on parliament to arrest five rebels. They are tipped off, and escape. It is a further humiliation. As the royal authority begins to crumble, so too does Angelica’s marriage, her husband Harry unable to cope with such a spirited and modern woman as his wife.

The royal family are forced to abandon London, and take refuge in Oxford. Finally, the long-threatened war breaks out, with the royalists and parliamentarians clashing at the bloody Battle of Edgehill. Those prominent in the Roundhead cause include Rainsborough, Cromwell and Lilburne. During the battle Sexby, previously merely a soldier for hire, becomes troubled by his allegiance to the royalists, disobeys his superior officer, Harry Fanshawe, and defects to the other side. In the heat of battle, Fanshawe all but kills him, but Sexby’s vision of Angelica helps him to survive.

By now, the lines are drawn, and England has begun one of the bloodiest periods of its history. Sexby has joined the Roundhead cause. King Charles calls upon the massed ranks of his own nobility, including Harry Fanshawe, to support him. But Harry’s wife has different ideas.

It is the start of a road that will change inexorably not only Angelica’s life, but all of those with whom she comes into contact, including the most important figures of this tumultuous time. Ahead of her lies in wait unaccustomed poverty, tragedy and triumph, love and loss on an unimaginable scale, with the Devil of her visions seemingly thwarting her every attempt at happiness.

For England, the future is equally radical. Village will fight against village, brother against brother, as the nation is torn apart. Friendships will be tested and loyalties broken - even among those in command, and on the same side.

The drama has only just begun to play out.

The Devil#s Whore, Channel 4 Wednesday 19th November 2008

"I'm The Only GAY IN This TARDIS!"

I found this today whilst searching for something entirely different. It is from The SUN Newspaper dated 23rd March 2007 by TV Biz Journo Lyney Haywood:

LITTLE Britain star Matt Lucas wants to be the new Timelord if David Tennant quits Doctor Who.

BBC chiefs have confirmed a fourth series will be made, but Tennant is tipped to go halfway through filming. (Which we know didn' happen)

Matt, 33 (now 34) famous for playing “only gay in the village” Daffyd ? wants to replace him.

His partner Kevin McGee said: “Matt would love to be in Doctor Who. I can see him playing the part.”

But Matt could be up against Robert Carlyle, Life On Mars star John Simm and Blackpool actor David Morrissey.

Tennant, 35 (36), has been bombarded with film offers since he appeared in the last Harry Potter movie ? and he’s keeping tight-lipped about his future in Doctor Who.

He said: “From the moment I accepted this job, everyone said, ?When are you leaving?’

David Morrissey talks The Next Doctor and... The Next Doctor!

David Morrissey has revealed some more information about his character in this year's Christmas special, The Next Doctor, as well as responding to the recent claims that he is in line to play the Eleventh Doctor in Series 5 in 2010.

Of this year's Christmas special, the actor told What's On Stage: "I play a character called The Doctor - a man who believes himself to be a Time Lord. It was great to be on board, because I’m a huge fan of the programme and of David Tennant.

"As for any talk of me taking over as the next Doctor," he said in response to the 11th Doctor rumours. "Well, if or when they do choose someone, they would have to be totally different to David - which I am."

Don't forget that the first two minutes of The Next Doctor will be shown during next Friday's Children In Need telethon on BBC One 7pm.

Tennant's regeration to be different

10th Doctor's regeneration to be "slightly different but similar", according to RTD

Russell T Davies has revealed that the Tenth Doctor's regeneration will be "slighty different but similiar" to the ones we've seen in the new series so far.

Speaking at the National Film Theatre on Friday, the show's executive producer confirmed that he has already written the Tenth Doctor's regeneration scene, including his final words, but only he, Ben Cook and Julie Gardner have read it.

He also said that had David not won at the NTAs, his exit would've been announced in a press release or on BBC Breakfast the next day. Tennant's decision to leave the role was made in 2006, during the filming of The Runaway Bride.

Finally, RTD announced that he will play no part whatsoever in the casting of the Eleventh Doctor, but made it clear that anything we read in the press is complete fiction, as the BBC won't be close to casting anybody for months.
