News about Anne Reid

Since winning eight nominations for the TV BAFTAs, the Crown viewers have been left confused as they brand the sixth series'mediocre.' On Tuesday, the TV BAFTA nominations were revealed ahead of the ceremony on May 12, with The Crown leading the way with the most nods in total. However, royal drama commentators have argued that the nods were undeserved as they say he has'fallen downhill' and has become a "snooze fest."

Following a turbulent year for the ITV flagship show, This Morning hasn't received a BAFTA Television Award nomination. The ITV flagship show leads the way, with the nominations revealed on Wednesday, ahead of the May 12th ceremony. Lorraine and Loose Women and its Men's special episode were nominated in the Daytime category, along with BBC shows, Make It At Market, and Scam Interceptors.

The top ten TV shows of 2023 have been revealed in the United Kingdom. Bruce Straley's The Last Of Us, a series that sees a world devastated by a pandemic triggered by a zombie-inducing fungus, ranked No. 1 on the charts. Succession, a five-year show that tells the tale of a media magnate family and the fight to take over the company if their father steps down, is the runner-up.

The Daily Mail's Weekend magazine has reached yet another magnificent milestone - this month we turn 30! We asked you to share our top ten TV shows so we could compile our definitive list of the 100 Greatest TV Shows voted for by you.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Sanditon lacks one thing that distinguishes Austen's sublime books: subtlety. The dialogue is as understated as a dowager duchess in full regalia, and new plot developments erupt like a coach and horses crashing through the scenery. Blam! On a beach, handsome bachelor Duke of Buckinghamshire (Edward Davis) stumbling out of a bathing machine, adjusting his cravat after a tumultuous meeting with another chap, and crashing straight into Miss Georgiana.

When he first started a diary more than three decades ago, Peter Farquhar (left) was a 44-year-old English teacher at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. On New Year's Day 1990, he quoted Greek philosopher Socrates' adage that "an unexamined life is not worth living" and decided to 'write a few lines whenever possible each night'. It was the start of a long line of his life. The confirmed bachelor was soon writing about loneliness and the "black hole" where strong emotional bonds should be established. And, as Peter was assassinated in October 2015, his 62 blue hardback A4 journals filled with neat handwriting played a key role in his murder of him. The academic's innermost thoughts, his struggle to reconcile his religious convictions with his attraction to men, and, most importantly, the academic's ill-fated friendship with evil Ben Field (second from left). In an acclaimed new BBC crime thriller, the horrific tale about how the former churchwarden veigled his way into the lives of two bleak, devoutly Christian pensioners, one being Ann Moore-Martin (inset and her house, bottom right); seducing them, gaslighting them, and persuading them to change their wills before poisoning them has now been retold.

This week, UK writer Sarah Vine is raving about BBC's The Sixth Commandment, focusing on the lives of two poor people abused by an opportunistic predator named Benjamin Field. 'The victims may not have wished for a more sympathetic retelling of their tale,' she says. Timothy Spall, Eanna Hardwicke, and Anne Reid are among those pictured left. Sarah Vine is on the right.

DCI Mark Glover (right) was part of the team that investigated 'cold and calculated' Benjamin Field in Maids Moreton, Buckinghamshire, after he was investigating the unexplained deaths of two retirees. Field was eventually found guilty and sentenced to life in the case of 69-year-old Peter Farquhar's murder (left, with Field). He compelled the University lecturer, the former head of English at the prestigious Stowe school, to alter his will and make his death seem as if it were accidental or suicide. Field was also accused of plotting to murder Ann Moore-Martin, an ex-headmistress, but was not found not guilty, although he confessed to trying to defraud her. In BBC show The Sixth Commandment, his heinous crimes are now being chronicled. Jonathan Aris portrays DCI Glover, while Timothy Spall (inset) portrays Ann Moore-Martin.

The Sixth Commandment, which concluded on BBC One last night, has called on Irish actor Éanna Hardwicke, 26, who plays Ben Field, to be praised for his work. Fans lauded Hardwicke (left and right) for his 'creepy' portrayal of the 'narcissistic' fraudster, who is currently serving a life term for Peter Farquhar's murder, who died after Field begged him to change his will so Field was a beneficiary. Although many viewers and commentators have lauded Timothy Spall's portrayal of Farquhar, others have requested that Hardwicke, a lesser-known actor, not be forgotten in the performance's high quality.

Peter Farquhar (left), 69, was killed by Benjamin Field, a young man in his early 30s, in Maids Moreton (top right), Buckinghamshire, in 2015. Field's much-loved academic had been subjected to a series of gaslighting and physical and mental torture. Mr Farquhar (former home on display today) thought the two were in a passionate relationship that was genuine, but Field sought to get his hands on his victim's home and wealth in a surprisingly fruitful effort to gain access to his victim's house and funds. Field, who is now serving a minimum 36-year term for murder, proceeded to ensnare Mr Farquhar's 83-year-old neighbor Anne Moore-Martin, but was not guilty of her murder at trial. Mr Farquhar is depicted in the latest drama, which begins on Monday evening, by Timothy Spall, 88, while Irish star Éanna Hardwicke depicts Field and Anne Reid, 88, portrays Ms Moore-Martin. However, in an interview today, friends and neighbors of the former head of English at Stowe's private school have said it was 'insensitive' and that it would have been too soon to revisit the pair's horrific trials.

In the second episode of The Sixth Commandment, which aired on BBC last night, criminal Ben Field was seen seducing Anne Moore Martin, played by British actor Anne Reid. Many of those watching expressed concern over the program's results, with one claiming that 'Anne Reid is stunning as ever.'

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: An additional layer of chill has been placed over The Sixth Commandment (BBC1). Anyhow, the fact that each of its victims is immediately recognisable has made it even more frightening. Timothy Spall, a much loved character actor since the days of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, was bad enough to murder him. Anne Reid, who dates back to Hancock's Half Hour and the beginning of Coronation Street, is much worse. Sheila Hancock, the grand dame of the English stage, is now the clerical killer in this true crime drama. Is no one safe?Please could someone go round and check on Dame Judi Dench?

Peter Farquhar (pictured center) was 69 years old when he was killed by alcohol poisoning by Ben Field (left and right), who was sentenced to 36 years in jail. Field, an undergraduate English student at Buckingham University, where his attacker also lectured, admitted to gaslighting Mr Farquhar at Oxford Crown Court, where he was later found guilty. Field, despite having a student relationship with the former lecturer, had a string of girlfriends and was in a sexual union with spinster Ann Moore-Martin, who was 57 years old at the time. Mr Farquhar left Field a £2,000 estate in September 2013 and then moved to his house just two months later.

The Sixth Commandment, BBC1's latest series, is a fresh take on the subject. It's a tragic true tale that begins with the death of elderly teacher Peter Farquhar in a Buckinghamshire village in 2015. Ann Moore-Martin, his octogenarian neighbour, died naturally 18 months later, and it became apparent that both the deceased and a young male in his 20s, Ben Field, (hence the phrase - Thou Shalt Not Murder is the sixth commandment).

He was the last person you would suspect of preying on the vulnerable. In the picturesque Buckinghamshire village of Maids Moreton, a suspected Christian Benjamin Field mercilessly assaulted two pensioners, murdering one and duping another as part of a plot to convince them to change their wills. When the full facts first appeared in 2019, the harrowing tale of how 69-year-old retired English teacher Peter Farquhar and his neighbor Anne-Moore Martin, 83, shocked the country. Mr Farquhar's 32-year-old Field, who is serving a minimum 36-year prison term for his murder, suffered with a campaign of gaslighting, physical, and mental torture. First-look photos of a four-part BBC drama chronicling Field's crimes have been published. Timothy Spall (left), 66, portrays Farquhar (inset), while Anne Reid (right), 88, plays Ms Moore-Martin (inset) in The Sixth Commandment. Field is portrayed by 26-year-old Irish actress Éanna Hardwicke (inset top), while Sheila Hancock, 90, depicts retired Secretary Liz Zettl, Field's third intended victim before he was captured.

Anne Reid appeared on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday and dashed fans' hopes that there will be another series of the Last Tango in Halifax. The famous comedy-drama ran for four seasons from 2012 to 2016, before returning for a fifth season in 2020, much to the delight of viewers.

MARMION PATTERN: Anne Reid, 87, has been around for a long time, with Coronation Street, Dinnerladies, Last Tango In Halifax, a Bafta nomination for her role in the film The Mother, and an MBE behind her. Not a bit of it. In Jordan Harrison's enthralling story about an American family of the future, she's only gone and appeared with Nancy Carroll, Tony Jayawardena, and Richard Fleeshman, her first and only partially puzzling romance with an American family of the future, who lives with a series of robot versions of their deceased selves (told you it was puzzling). Reid's Marjorie is first consoled by Fleeshman's buff, a 30-year-old reincarnation of her late husband Walter, a situation reminiscent of Reid's role as her teenage lover in The Mother, but with chit-chat provided by Alexa and Siri, it begins.

As thousands of ambulance workers go on strike in a bitter wage dispute, Coronation Street actress Anne Reid revealed she spent six hours in an accident and emergency room while waiting for medical attention for a fractured arm. On Tuesday evening, the actress, who best known for her performance as Ken Barlow's doomed first wife Valerie, announced the long wait, five days after receiving medical attention at a University College London hospital. As union activists around the country, Reid, 87, encouraged hospital employees for their hard work.

The term 'dinnerladies' - and that of 'handyman' - suggests 'gender control,' but no one in Devon County Council would have given a definite alternative,' according to Bosses, although they were unable to state an alternative. The dinner lady is very much in everyday life, and the late Victoria Woods' book Dinnerladies, written by and starring the late Victoria Wood (pictured), remains one of the UK's most cherished programs.
