The Columnist - Exclusive UK Trailer - On Digital 12th March

Starring Westworld's Katja Herbers, THE COLUMNIST, a stand-out at last year's FrightFest, is a savagely satirical, gory and wholly thrilling look at what happens when the victim of online abuse says "enough is enough".  Smartly scripted and slicky directed, with some wonderfully pitch-black set pieces, it sits nicely alongside women-turn-the-tables hits Prevenge, Revenge, Promising Young Woman, and the recent Danish release The Exception.

Featuring a fantastic performance from Herbers, and a scene-stealing Bram van der Kelen as the author of shock horror novels, THE COLUMNIST is sure to provoke debate around the prescient topic of social media's impact on basic civility. It's Death Wish for the online generation, and you'll be cheering as Herbers gets the next foul-mouthed victim in her sights.

Synopsis:

Newspaper columnist and author Femke Boot is suffering from writers' block, and her mood isn't improved by the torrent of abuse and death threats she receives daily on social media. When she discovers that her obnoxious, loud neighbour is one of the anonymous people posting vile comments, she snaps and takes matters into her own hands. As she finds herself able to write again, she sets out on a mission - track down the trolls and deliver some swift, polite and deadly vengeance.

Interview with Chris Bell - Director of The Heiress

Ahead of the UK Digital release of THE HEIRESS on March 15, 2021, director Chris Bell talks about familial horror influences, his South London 'hooligangster' phase and learning new lockdown skills.

How did you get the idea for THE HEIRESS?

I was in my local library when I came across a painting. The artist was a local lady. I was drawn to this eerie artwork and I knew I had to meet her. When we did meet I told her that I was going to write a film inspired by this painting. Not only that but I promised to feature her in the movie – and I did just that.

Myself, alongside Danny and Kelly Prescott, created the script for what became The Heiress. I'd arranged a meeting with producer Jezz Vernon, whom I had recently worked with on another movie. We pitched the script to him and from there he came on board.

REVIEW: Eternal Hope on PC (Steam)

Eternal Hope is a 2D puzzle platform game, you play as a young lonely boy called Ti'bi, you have lost the love of your life, a girl called Hope, who seemingly dies during a storm after she is stuck under a fallen tree and then falls to her death, and you are about to undertake a journey that will hopefully bring back your girlfriend.

While grieving for Hope, The Keeper of Souls appears and he tells you that his job is to collect souls, but he has become weak, and Hope's soul has shattered into fragments, you then make what I assume is a deal with the devil and agree to help him by collecting various souls and fragments, which in turn will give him his strength back, and in return he will bring Hope back into the land of the living.

Hugh Dennis to present The Great British Dig: History in Your Back Garden on More4

Channel 4 has commissioned Strawberry Blond TV to produce a 4 x 60' series of The Great British Dig: History in Your Back Garden for More4.

A pilot episode of The Great British Dig aired on More4 in April 2020, becoming the channel's most successful one-off programme in 2020.

In The Great British Dig, actor and comedian Hugh Dennis is joined by an expert team of archaeologists to excavate back gardens around Britain, in an attempt to uncover the lost history buried beneath our lawns and flower beds – recruiting local people to get digging too.

The series sees the team visit Newcastle in search of a Roman fort, as well attempting to unearth the long-lost Lenton Priory in Nottingham. In North Yorkshire, they must dig deep in the hope of locating a Viking graveyard, and they're also on the hunt for a secret army base in South Shields.

The experts joining Hugh Dennis on The Great British Dig are Dr Chloe Duckworth, archaeological scientist and lecturer at Newcastle University, archaeologist Richard Taylor and field archaeologist Natasha Billson.

Hugh Dennis said: "The Great British Dig is a fantastic format which combines finding out about the history of where you live and the surprising things that lie under your own back garden. It's kind of a community archaeology project."

ITV commissions new prime time game show Moneyball, hosted by Ian Wright

Hosted by football legend, Ian Wright, Moneyball is an exciting prime time game show where the difference between winning life-changing money and going home with nothing rests entirely on the bounce of a ball.  

Navigating their way through a series of questions, contestants can accumulate large sums of money for every correct answer. But as the cash up for grabs continues to climb, so does the pressure, leaving both players and viewers in suspense.

The chance of losing it all looms large, and players may consider an early exit with the prize fund. But in a unique game show twist, they have to take one final shot, which could see them forced back into the game or leaving with their hard earned cash.

Ian Wright says: "Look who's got a brand new game show! From the moment ITV got in touch with the idea, I was hooked and there was no way I could've said no to Moneyball. It's exhilarating, fun, dramatic, everything you want from a game show. Even though I know I'll want everyone to win the money and even though I know I'll be in bits when they lose, I can't wait for everyone at home to experience the real drama of Moneyball."

Malmkrog - Exclusive New Trailer and Poster

New poster and trailer released for Cristi Puiu's historical drama Malmkrog, which heads to the UK on Virtual Cinemas and VOD 26th March from Sovereign.

Guests arrive at the mansion of aristocratic landowner and man of the world Nikolai over the Christmas holidays. Among them are a politician, a young countess and a general with his wife. They converse and dine – what a wonderful, much-missed way of life – indulge in parlour games and discuss politics, progress, morality, death, and the Antichrist. As the debate becomes more heated, cultural differences become increasingly apparent and the mood grows tense. In the end, everyone will become a victim of his or her own discourse.

Puiu was named Best Director for the new Encounters Awards at the 70th Berlin Film Festival last year, and Malmkrog won Best Film and Best Screenplay at the 2020 Seville European Film Festival. Based on the work of Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovyov, Malmkrog is provocative, engrossing, and extremely timely filmmaking. Puiu, who won the Un Certain Regard Best Film award at Cannes in 2005, for The Death of Mr Lazarescu, cements his reputation here as one of Europe's most accomplished and uncompromising directors.

Channel 4 announce Friday Night Dinner Night (w/t)

At 10pm on Friday the 25th February 2011, the great British nation found themselves face to face with a hairy topless man chomping his way through a 'lovely bit of squirrel'; an overly-excitable woman desperate for her 'Bobble' to meet a nice 'female'; two boys called 'Pissface' and 'Pusface' who enjoyed poisoning each other with saltwater - and a certain neighbour who was terrified of his own dog... Friday nights were never the same again.

Six series and 37 episodes later, Friday Night Dinner has grown to become one of the biggest, best-loved sitcoms in the UK. Viewers of all ages have loved the series for its relatability, warmth, laugh-out-loud silliness, and ridiculously quotable lines. Friday Night Dinner is a show that unites families - one they can all sit down to watch together. The show's a true phenomenon, spawning thousands of memes, and hundreds of tattoos - yup, including that guy who got 'lovely bit of squirrel' on his arse!  

And now - for the show's 10th anniversary - we bring you an entire night dedicated to the silliest, saltiest, squirrelest family on TV…

Friday Night Dinner Night includes a brand new 90 minute celebratory documentary 'You Look Nice: The True Story of Friday Night Dinner' (w/t) a behind the scenes look at every aspect of the show - from its humble beginnings as a 5 minute pilot, shot in creator Robert Popper's parent's house (where his actual dad walked into the middle of a scene to announce, 'I'm going out now to buy some bin liners')- to its glorious, tear-inducing series six finale, some 925 screen minutes later.

The documentary will  delve into just why the show has touched so many hearts, including interviews with main cast - Tamsin Greig (Mum), Paul Ritter (Dad), Simon Bird (Adam), Tom Rosenthal (Jonny) - plus, of course, oddball neighbour, Mark Heap (Jim)

We'll also get to hear from some of the supporting  cast, including Tracy-Ann Oberman (Auntie Val), Rosie Cavaliero (The Other Jackie), Harry Landis (Mr Morris), Matthew Holness (Chris Parker), Kiell Smith-Bynoe (Nick). As well as meeting fans of the series, including Claudia Winkleman, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Lou Sanders, David Baddiel, Nihal Arthanayake and Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

Friday Night Dinner Night will feature exclusive behind the scenes footage, insights and anecdotes from the cast and crew on making the series, interviews with Friday Night Dinner superfans and outtakes which have never been broadcast on British television until now.

The documentary will then be followed by the nation's Top 3 favourite Friday Night Dinner episodes - as voted by the British public - and played back-to back on Channel 4.
