Downton Abbey is back! After the first two films, a THIRD film is also in the works as filming begins on a new series

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 7, 2024
The ITV drama series debuted in 2010 and ran until 2015, with the first of the two films being released in 2019. However, just weeks after it was revealed that there would be a seventh series of the show after eight years, The Sun has announced that filming on a third film is also scheduled to begin. The same cast and behind-scenes crew are expected to return to Highclere Castle, Hampshire, where the new film will begin from where the second ended - in the late 1920s. The film, produced by Carnival Films, will see the complete cast revival, which is something that had been a logistical challenge due to its size.

At the BRIT Awards, Raye sweeps SIX gongs to bring out one of music's greatest-ever comebacks: Barefoot actress Barefoot fights back tears as she enters history just three years after being rejected by her own label

Raye's transformation from musical obscurity to international pop star hit a new height tonight, winning six Brit awards for the first time. Rachel Agatha Keen, a London-born artist, was stunned when she tied for most gongs in a single night, and she went back to collect her awards barefoot each time. She was nominated seven times - the most for a single artist in a year - but she may not have been nominated twice for Escapism, which won the award, and Prada. The 26-year-old collected awards for best artist, new artist, R&B act, and songwriter, as well as a year's best song and album of the year at the O2 Arena in London. The songwriter's success is one of music's finest ever comebacks, coming just three years after her former record label Polydor refused to release any of her albums. Raye left the company and began presenting her critically acclaimed, and now award-winning debut, My 21st Century Blues as an independent artist.

ANDREW PIERCE: How the holier than thou doctor behind ITV's new Covid drama is a Tory-hating activist who doesn't always get her facts right

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 24, 2024
Breathtaking is a gritty three-part drama starring Downton Abbey actress Joanne Froggatt, right, and depicting life and death in an NHS hospital during the first six months of the Covid outbreak. However, although the ITV show has received rave reviews in some quarters, some commentators have sluggishly published a piece of propaganda. Rachel Clarke, a 52-year-old palliative care specialist, left a book based on a book by doctor - and vocal Left-wing feminist - on the series. She's been on a long tour of television and radio studios to promote the drama in the last week, never losing a chance to criticize the Tories. Boris Johnson glanced at the public in the eye and said that the NHS was never overburdened during Covid's time.' It was a straight lie from a man who was content to pile the bodies in their thousands. This was the frightening reality. Please don't forget to check the website. 'BREATHTAKING' is a film that plays the role.'

In the first wave of the pandemic in 2020, disillusioned audiences reacted to the final episode of the three-part drama, which aired on Wednesday evening, depicting how one hospital became overwhelmed by patients. People viewing the 'heartbreaking' scenes, which were inspired by Rachel Clarke's book, praised the 'heroic' NHS staff for their efforts during the pandemic. Some people were brought to tears while watching the ITV show as they recalled memories of being in hospital and losing family members to Covid, with some viewers seemingly unable to watch the harrowing scenes.

'We should have had an EARLIER lockdown': Moment fictional NHS doctor in heavily politicised ITV Covid drama Breathtaking slams Government's response

Dr. Abbey Henderson, the author of ITV's epic three-part Covid drama, wishes to reveal the horrors she saw during the pandemic period. A hospital executive who confided in warned the fictional consultant, played by Downton Abbey's Joanne Froggatt, 'the NHS eats whistleblowers alive.' Doctors are spat at and told the virus by a group of protesters outside of the hospital, in the same episode. The Dr Henderson's eye at a city hospital in England reveals the plot of Breathtaking. Mitigation, tonight's last part, covers events from the end of November 2020 to mid-January 2021. During this period, Britain went through a second lockdown, a broken tier system, and was sentenced to a third and final lockdown.

'I'm torn between pure terror and deep admiration,' explains Breathtaking viewers who are struggling to watch the Covid drama, which has left them'simultaneously raging and sobbing.'

Viewers of the ITV drama Breathtaking depicting the horrors that nurses endured during the pandemic have admitted to being unable to watch the series. Dr. Abbey Henderson, a fictional character, is followed by Breathtaking, but the powerful scripts are based on a book of the same name written by NHS palliative care doctor Dr. Rachel Clarke. In Tuesday's episode, believable scenes depict medics being confronted with the disastrous Covid discharge scheme, which is blamed for the deaths of thousands of care home residents.

The real doctor behind ITV's latest Covid drama: How Oxford-educated journalist-turned-medic behind Breathtaking led criticism of the Government's handling of the pandemic with scathing tweets while on the NHS frontline

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 20, 2024
The script is mainly based on Dr. Rachel Clarke's (pictured), a palliative care specialist in Oxford who was seconded to virus-ridden wards, and was heavily based on the pandemic memoirs of the ward. Despite being heavily dramatized, with scenes that didn't directly concern her, Dr Clarke said that it was'very important' that everything on screen had to happen to a real patient or member of NHS staff. She hopes that the film would help NHS medics who survived the pandemic to 'feel seen'. So far, Breathtaking, co-written by Line of Duty creator Jed Mercurio and Prasanna Puwanarajah (both of whom are former doctors), has displayed a tragic video of a patient dying in the back of an ambulance after pandemic-era laws banning medics from attending CPR. Dr. Henderson, played by Downton Abbey actor Joanne Froggatt (bottom right), is the second episode of the series, as doctors refuse to offer life support to a nurse who was killed by the virus.

Chilling scene in ITV's Covid drama Breathtaking shows sobbing medics turn off the life support of a beloved nurse who succumbed to the virus

Dr. Abbey Henderson is forced to send an elderly man back to the struggling health care market without testing him in ITV's gripping three-part drama illustrating the horrors nurses suffered in the pandemic. Thousands of unswabbed hospitalized patients were released into care homes under regulations aimed at freeing up NHS beds ahead of the Covid wave, despite being potentially infected. Dr Henderson, a woman whose father is the 11th Covid patient in the household since the infected patient was discharged, is branded a "murderer" by a woman whose father is the eleventh Covid case in the household just days later. Seven of those people were killed. Despite the fact that Downton Abbey actor Froggatt's character is made-up, the dramatic scripts in the story are not. An earlier episode of the same series, the second to air, features an equally disturbing scene in which TV commentators have characterized as 'too realistic, it would break your heart.'

And if it makes you dizzy, ITV's Breathtaking is the best pandemic drama yet, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The handheld photography on Breathtaking (ITV) was enough to bring on dizziness and nausea. When the first wave of Covid-19 strikes Britain in March 2020, director Craig Viveiros hoped to convey the frantic urgency and a sense of increasing terror. However, the process of filming the hospital scenes as if we were in a war zone, with the image spinning and diving, became an annoying gimmick.

A upcoming three-part drama starring Joanne Froggatt and former medic Jed Mercurio, author of the book, and researcher and former doctor Prasanna Puwanarajah is the first of a thrilling, starring Joanne Froggatt. The drama, which was based on true life experiences, wants to hold a candle to that moment and show the world and politicians what life was really like on the Covid wards. Mr Bates vs. The Post Office, and other hit drama based on real-life events, Mr Bates vs. The After a drudgery of the screen and introduce change in the real world, the creators hope that the effect would go far beyond the screen and bring about change in the real world. It comes at a time when the nation has spent the past few months learning from scientists and ministers via the Covid Inquiry into how they made decisions that affected every facet of British life. But the minds behind Breathtaking know it is one thing to hear about shoddy PPE not fitting, of unprotected NHS employees dying of the virus, of families that are unable to see their loved ones one last time due to quarantine restrictions, and another to see it play out before your eyes. In these moments when Froggatt, who will portray fictional hospital medic Dr. Abbey Henderson, cried while reading the script, such is power.
