The BBC have released a clip from BBC One’s new adaptation of The Borrowers, which stars Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), Stephen Fry, Victoria Wood, Sharon Horgan, Robert Sheehan (Misfits).
Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who) stars alongside Stephen Fry, Victoria Wood, Sharon Horgan, Robert Sheehan and Aisling Loftus this Christmas in BBC One’s new adaptation of The Borrowers.
With its wondrous fantasy elements, teenage romance, action-adventure and subtle, knowing sense of humour, The Borrowers really is ideal festive viewing for the whole family.
BBC Two’s recent The Shadow Line is a serial sodden with blood: seven hours of claret-splattered, frequently flamboyant, occasionally preposterous and completely compulsive television.
Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who) and Robbie Sheehan (Misfits) will star in a new TV film version of The Borrowers on BBC One this Christmas.
A complete and unexpurgated knowledge of the truth is what DI Jonah Gabriel (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and the viewers who have followed his exploits through every twist and bloodstained turn of this expansive, intricately-plotted thriller deserve; and happily, it’s precisely what they get.
Christopher Eccleston and Chiwetel Ejiofor star in Hugo Blick’s seven-part conspiracy thriller The Shadow Line, coming to BBC Two in May, which delves into the heart of human morality.
After several weeks of soul-searching and self-doubt, DI Jonah Gabriel (Chiwetel Ejiofor) finally establishes which side of the line he was on before being shot in the head – and who his real enemies are.
Over the course of its first four episodes, The Shadow Line has matured from an overwrought, rather confused melodrama plagued with florid verbosity into one of the BBC’s best thrillers in a very long time. In the fifth instalment, it gets even better.
BBC Two’s increasingly fascinating police drama reaches and passes its halfway stage in this episode, yet neither DI Jonah Gabriel (Chiwetel Ejiofor) nor Joseph Bede (Christopher Eccleston) appear much closer to accomplishing their respective goals than they were in the hours after the death of gangster Harvey Wratten.
