 'CATHERINE THE GREAT'
 JASON CLARKE JOINS HELEN MIRREN IN EPIC NEW TV SAGA
We haven't heard much about Sky's and HBO's new mini series on CATHERINE THE GREAT ever since Helen Mirren was announced as
Jason Clarke will be Prince Grigory Potemkin
the lead star, but now she is being joined by Jason Clarke as her lover Potemkin after he starred with Mirren in Winchester! Written by Elizabeth I's Nigel Williams the four part saga is set against the politically tumultuous and sexually charged court of Russian empress Catherine the Great who wielded supreme power throughout Russia for nearly half of the 18th century; strong minded, independent, brilliantly intelligent and sexually liberated! 

CATHERINE THE GREAT will depict the end of her reign and her passionate affair with Grigory Potemkin (Clarke), a Russian military commander who became Catherine�s lover, favoured statesman and life long friend. Amid scandal, intrigue and immense conflict, they develop a unique and devoted relationship, overcoming their adversaries and together serving as the architects of modern-day Russia.

LEAD THE CAST
Great cast in Andy De Emmony's British family adventure movie FOUR KIDS AND IT which will have Michael Caine, Matthew Goode, Paula Patton and Russell Brand.

During an argument, the kids accidentally find a Psammead, a magical, sandy, grumpy creature called It (voiced by Caine) who can grant them one wish a day. Brand will be the local oddball villain Tristan bent on capturing the Psammead for his own gain in the big screen adaptation of the novel Four Children and It by best-selling author Jacqueline Wilson!

JACK LOWDEN, HAYLEY ATWELL TO LEAD BBC'S 'LONG SONG' 19TH CENTURY JAMAICAN SET TV SAGA! 'DOWNTON ABBEY' FILM SHOOTING THIS SUMMER OFFICIALLY!

JACK LOWDEN & HAYLEY ATWELL TO LEAD NEW BBC EPIC SAGA

Scotsman, dearest Jack Lowden, who's just been cast together with Hayley Atwell in BBC's new epic mini saga THE LONG SONG! Three part adaptation of Andrea Levy's will also star Tamara Lawrence, Lenny Henry, Do�a Croll, Sharon Duncan Brewster, Ayesha Antoine, Arinz� Kene, Ansu Kabia, Jordan Bolger, Joy Richardson, Madeleine Mantock and Leo Bill!

THE LONG SONG, set during the final days of slavery in 19th century Jamaica, follows the strong willed, young slave July (Tamara Lawrance) on a plantation owned by her odious mistress Caroline Mortimer (Hayley Atwell). When a charming new arrival to the island, Robert Goodwin (Jack Lowden), becomes the new overseer, July and Caroline are both intrigued by his seemingly revolutionary determination to improve the plantation for the slaves and mistress alike. The story is told from July�s perspective as she looks back over her life; the tone is funny, defiant and indomitable. It�s a story about the injustices that humans

inflict upon each other and the unexpected ways in which people�s humanity sometimes overrules their prejudices. Three hundred years of slavery finally came to a chaotic end on the British ruled Caribbean island of Jamaica in 1838.

   'ORDEAL BY INNOCENCE'
NEW AGATHA CHRISTIE SERIES
The series starts this Easter Sunday
Although we thought Sarah Phelps' adaptation of Witness for the Prosecution was ghastly bad last year at BBC, we did absolutely adore And Then There Were None the year before it, so we are ready to give ORDEAL BY INNOCENCE her latest Agatha Christie project a go when it starts airing Easter Sunday at BBC. It was originally supposed to air at Christmas but it underwent a 12 day reshooting in order to replace Ed Westwick with Christian Cooke in 35 scenes in which he appears in the three part mini series. The reshooting wasn't easy as they had to book the ensemble cast again and shoot in winter instead of summer while also booking all the locations and costumes

Good and bad news from the TV comedy world. Sad news is that Freeform is ending its sitcom Young and Hungry with the remaining ten episodes of the fifth season which will air from June 20th.

Unfortunately, she just got engaged. A lot of guys would give up; Kyle is not one of those guys.
