The Big Line-Up

Picture

 
 
X-Files Actress Gillian Anderson is soon to star in a new crime-drama on BBC2 The Fall which is in fact set in belfast. Gillian's character Stella Gibson who is a senior police officer is brought in to investigate a string of murders occuring in the city of Belfast. She is brought in because the PSNI were unable to close the case after 28 days, so its Stella's job to catch the person red handed and make sure the person pays for their crimes. They are to determined track down and stop the serial killer that is terrorising the city of Belfast. The Show has a few recognizable faces like Bronagh Waugh, Karen Hassan and Emmett Scalan who played irish characters Cheryl Brady, Lynsey Nolan and Brendan Brady for a few years in hollyoaks in the soap Hollyoaks. But the one you have to keep your eye on is the killer which is Paul Spector who is played by Jamie Dornan, he may play nice guy during the day but in the dead of night he is causing terror in the city and no one has a clue. 

Who's looking foward to this?

 
 
Did you miss out last nights Waterloo Road? Two new fresh faces turned up at the School. Fergal Doherty a young rebel  from Ireland played by rising star Sam Smith, who obviously caused a bit of trouble in his past life now he is starting a new at Waterloo Road, is it a fresh start, emm not exactly mixing with the likes of Barry Barry and selling drugs to younger students, making them behave oddly during class, its no wonder his worrying mother Theresa has a watchful on him. But its not all bad for the new character he offers a bit of support to young Rob with his decision to change his sexuality and issues with getting on with their brothers.  Sam Smith did a great job on the programme last night very powerful and moving performance as Fergal, we heard classic characters Grantly Budgen and Tom Clarkson are leaving the show, but it looks like the gap mabye about to be filled.

Lightfields is a primetime supernatural drama, which is a follow-up to 2011 primetime supernatural drama Marchlands, in which the residents of a house in Yorkshire were haunted by a ghost. This time, the supernatural hokum emanates from the mysterious death of poor naive Lucy (Antonia Clarke), the fallout from which weaves itself through the lives of the farm's future residents.

The Oscars seem to have dodged all the actors from the latest Sky fall film. But they still seem be to be sticking with the theme of Bond to the Oscars by inviting Dame Shirley and Adele to perform their bond songs, Gold Finger and Sky fall  Adele turned up to collect her award for best original song at the Oscars on Sunday  She also recently won best British single at the Brit Awards. 

Also what do we think of Adele's look at the oscars she is looking very radiant isn't she?
