News about Joanna Scanlan

I've been consistently surprised by how candid my interviews have been, and wealthy people make exactly the same mistakes as the rest of us. Here's a rundown of the ten worst performers.

After the landlord Gordon Milligan decided to sell up after 23 years, villagers in West Peckham, Kent, have six months to raise the money they need to keep The Swan on the Green pub (pictured). Mr Milligan was worried that a new owner would turn the building, which dates back to 1526, into housing, so he begged the villagers if they wanted to buy it instead.

At a Downing Street reception for the British Film Industry on Tuesday evening, Rishi Sunak shared a laugh with The Thick Of It actress Joanna Scanlan. Scanlan is best known for her appearance on the classic BBC sitcom, as Terri Coverley, a notoriously ineffective senior press officer for the Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship. Terri and her special advisor Glenn Cullen bicker on and off again with basic tasks.

In July 2022, Kate, 41, paid a surprise visit to National Marine Aquarium workers in Plymouth, where she also attended a Protect Our Future lesson with young people and watched Great Britain Sail Grand Prix. The BBC show, which received a four-star rating for its early episodes, is a six-part documentary that was shot in the first six months of 2022. It shows how much planning goes into looking after the animals of Plymouth's deeps. Kate appears in the aquarium's season finale, which airs at 6.30 p.m., to look at the aquarium's seagrass conservation efforts. An excited employee is seen practising her curtsey ahead of the Princess's tour before explaining how the campaign inspired people to sit down and listen to what we're doing.'

The Princess of Wales will appear on BBC Two's Secrets of the Aquarium next month. The royal, 41, paid a surprise visit to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, which will be broadcast on December 19. The episode's date is uncertain, but Kate was last in Plymouth in July 2022, when she attended a Protect Our Future lesson with young people at Trinity Pier and watched Great Britain Sail Grand Prix.

What would you do?If you were walking the dog and found a truckload of cocaine next to a couple of corpses on a deserted beach, would you ignore the bodies and steal the drugs? It's a ridiculous thing. Jack and Harry Williams, writers, don't want us to take it seriously. They're really asking is... "Yeah, but what if?" trolls are asking. No other British screenwriters dare to do this, putting the credibility of the opening credits to the test and then stretching them. We have the wildly improved version of the boat story (BBC1), with three children shrieling in delight at a fractured head in a field. It's like the Just William version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Two strangers (pictured left) are set in the Yorkshire Dales, Boat Story, a tense thriller laced with pitch-black comedy, who are found in a boat that was washed ashore when out walking their dogs.

Views of the Blakeney salt marsh and Norfolk's harbour are included in the magnificently planned home, as well as a swimming pool and yoga space. It's the most recent property to be auctioned as part of the Omaze Million Pound House Auction. The property is mortgage free, with all stamp duty and court charges paid, with the lucky winner receiving £100,000 in cash. If the victor decides to rent it out, local estate agents expect the property to bring in a long-term rental value of about £60,000 per year.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: We now live in the golden age of True Crime. All the other genres are out-dated; no one wants Great Detectives or Police Procedurals. Any murder needs to be investigated by a young amateur who is secretly hoping that the format will be bought for millions by an online giant. Netflix has ordered hundreds of True Crime docu-series since its incredible success in 2015 with Making A Murderer, about a horrific murder at a U.S. scrap-yard. Crime Scene in the Texas Killing Fields; American Murder; The Family Next Door; A Murder In The Memories Of A Killer: A Descent Into Darkness; A Terrorist; Discussions With A Killer The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes and The Sons Of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness

Following lead actress Sabrina Bartlett's departure, ITV's The Larkins is expected to be axed following poor ratings and 'cast differences,' according to ITV's The Larkins. Having returned to the small screen between October and November for series two, The Darling Buds Of May revival lost two million viewers this time around. Despite a star-studded cast including Bradley Walsh and Joanna Scanlan, this year's opener was watched by 2.9 million viewers, down from 4.8 million last year.

She likes it as mesmirising. The basic premise was heartbreaking, according to Sarah, a man destroyed by grief, inflicting unimaginable damage on an innocent young child

As the nights draw in and we begin what could be a bleaker winter than others, few things could be more welcome on television than the return of the Larkin family. The rambunctious creations of HE Bates made their film debut 31 years ago in The Darling Buds Of May, but millions of new fans were introduced in The Larkins last year, with Bradley Walsh and Joanna Scanlan as Pop and Ma. It was just what we needed to see us through a second pandemic winter, a winning combination of nostalgia, humour, passion, and the bucolic beauty of the Kent countryside. When the show's father, Barney Walsh, who plays the village's lovelorn PC Harness, returns to our screens next weekend, we will be pleased to hear more of the same in store. First and foremost, the romance. Primrose (Lydia Page), Mariette's older sister who has now married to Charley, is the subject of the spotlight. A new vicar arrives in the village, just as she tells her father, 'I've had it with boys, I want a man.'
