Shouldn’t Jim Broadbent have been classed as a National Treasure by now? Kept in The Tower of London with the Crown and whatnot, only to be released so that he can appear in top quality drama? Broadbent is, and always has been, the big birthday cake of drama – seeing him at once both excites and reassures. You know you’re in for something special.
It wasn’t always called ‘The Great Train Robbery’, but history has a way of swaddling itself in mythology.
Back in 1963 it was known as ‘The Cheddington Mail Van Raid’. And in the same way as that title removes any notion of excitement and romanticism from the act, so Chris Chibnall’s A Robber’s Tale strips away the mythology that has crystallised around the greatest folkloric tale in British larceny and presents us with the facts (or as close to them) of what was a train robbery that time wrongly mythologised into something ‘Great’.
The BBC has released a trailer for Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall’s upcoming two-part The Great Train Robbery drama.
The BBC has released the first official image from BBC One’s upcoming two-part The Great Train Robbery serial, written by Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall.
Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall has revealed that his upcoming The Great Train Robbery serial, about the most infamous heist in British history, “will surprise people”.
Luke Evans (Clash of the Titans), Jack Roth (Bedlam) and Neil Maskell (Utopia) will lead the cast of the first part of BBC One’s upcoming The Great Train Robbery drama.
Jack Roth has revealed that there are “new horizons to explore” in a third series of Bedlam if it’s commissioned.
BBC America has released a trailer for the second series of Bedlam, which begins in the US next month.
As Bedlam’s second series draws to a close, it’s all about tying up loose ends and gluing together important plot points from the first series and from earlier episodes in this year’s run.
Sky Living has released a clip from tonight’s Bedlam series finale.
