News about Lee Ingleby

A BAFTA award winning star looks unrecognisable in the first look at Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove. The actor has overhauled his image to star in the theatre adaptation of the iconic 1964 film, playing at the Noël Coward Theatre in London next month. The household name will be taking on the titular role as well as three other characters in the production which centres on an unhinged American general who orders a bombing attack on the Soviet Union.

Richard Taylor, formerly deputy registrar of the University of Leicester, is suing Mr Coogan, who was a writer and producer of the 2022 film, The Lost King. The film focuses on the role of amateur historian Phillipa Langley who led the search to find the Plantagenet king's skeleton. The lost remains of Richard III were found in a Leicester car park in 2012, more than 500 years after his death. A High Court judge ruled today that the portrayal of Mr Taylor, played by British actor Lee Ingleby, did have a defamatory meaning. The ruling means the case can now proceed to trial, for which a date has not been set. Mr Taylor has brought legal action against Mr Coogan, his production company Baby Cow, and Pathe Productions.

Richard Taylor, formerly deputy registrar of the University of Leicester, had sued Mr Coogan, who was a writer and producer of the 2022 film, The Lost King. The film focuses on the role of historian Phillipa Langley in the search to find the controversial king's skeleton. The lost remains of the Plantagenet king were found in a Leicester car park in 2012, more than 500 years after his death. Mr Taylor, whose screen character was portrayed by British actor Lee Ingleby, brought legal action against Mr Coogan, his production company Baby Cow, and Pathe Productions over his portrayal in the film. Mr Taylors' lawyers, William Bennett KC and Victoria Jolliffe, argued that their client was presented as being 'dismissive, patronising and misogynistic' towards Ms Langley, who was played by actress Sally Hawkins.

Rule One of a good domestic psychodrama is: men, they're all the same, you can't trust them. Rule Two: however superficially sane they might seem, all women are mad. Rule Three, and most important of all: every troubled family has a fabulous kitchen. Lee Ingleby is Nick, the sleazy male in Cuckoo (Ch5). He's neck-deep in debt, unable to pay the repair bills for the family's tumbledown farmhouse that is gradually being consumed by ivy, like the palace in Sleeping Beauty.

The quest for serial killer Peter Sutcliffe was led by James Hobson. However, the ex Assistant Chief Constable with West Yorkshire Police didn't like Lee Ingleby's portrayal of him in ITV's latest series The Long Shadow. Sutcliffe murdered 13 people and attempted to murder seven more across the north of England between 1975 and 1980, before being arrested in 1981.

The Long Shadow on ITV is coming to an end as it details the sequence of missed opportunities in catching the Yorkshire Ripper as police were delayed by a hoax tape. Despite being interviewed multiple times by West Yorkshire Police, the real ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, was able to commit 13 murders and more non-fatal attacks in less than five years. In the TV drama, Sutcliffe's victims, survivors, and investigators are all depicted, rather than glorifying the serial killer. Scroll down to see real-life photos of some of the series's leading figures.

On Monday, the Long Shadow viewers praised the ITV drama for 'giving a voice' to the victims of Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe. In South Yorkshire in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the latest episode saw yet more lives devastated by the mad man's murder spree. Sutcliffe killed 13 people and attempted to murder seven more before his eventual capture in 1981.

A new ITV drama, which will air in September, will chronicle Peter Sutcliffe's journey as the police hunt unfolds. Sutcliffe, a serial killer who lived in Yorkshire in the Seventies and Eighties, will explore the women she had assaulted in the Long Shadow. Sutcliffe murdered 13 people and attempted to murder seven more before his capture in 1981, when he was sentenced to twenty consecutive life imprisonment sentences at HMP Frankland. Sutcliffe died at University Hospital of North Durham in November 2020 after refusing medical attention for COVID-19 while suffering with other underlying health conditions such as obesity and diabetes. The crime drama, which is made up of seven episodes, will air on ITV1 on Monday, September 25th.

He was widely regarded as a "top-notch copper," an old school policeman with three decades of service. George Oldfield, the West Yorkshire Police chief, was the man in charge of the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper. However, after suffering a near-fatal heart attack in 1979 and being dismissed the prosecution, he went on to become a "broken man" and vowed to catch serial killer Peter Sutcliffe. Oldfield's anarchy was made worse by the fact that it was his massive mistake in mistaking the hoaxer who became known as 'Wearside Jack' (bottom right, playing the hoaxer's voice at a press conference) that had allowed Sutcliffe (inset) to murder a further three women before he was captured in 1981. After suffering another heart attack in 1985, the policeman, who retired in 1983, will die at the age of 61. In the forthcoming drama The senior officer is portrayed by David Morrissey (top right), but Lee Ingleby depicts him as the replacement in charge of the Ripper investigation.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: I worked on a news desk where the sub-editors fought a game with their star columnist, which was way back when newsrooms were a sepia fug of Rothman's smoke. Each week, they gave him an impossible or odd word to insert into his opening paragraph. Dodecahedron is a form of dodecahedron. Embrocation. Avoirdupois are among the many things that have characterized the Avoirdupois. Ontologic. Tintinnabulation is the result of a tintinnabulation. Arnold was always obliged, with such zeal that this stray word was turned into the central gem in a sparkling intro. When Screw (Ch4) returns for a second series, the prison officers at Long Marsh jail are playing a similar game. Points are earned by incorporating song titles into the banter that lags.

Three Line of Duty actors appeared on screen for the first time this week in ITV's dramatization of Raoul Moat's seven-day siege in Northumberland, in which he waged war on the police. Viewers pointed out that Lee Ingleby, Mark Stobbart, and Vineeta Rishi had all appeared in Line of Duty together. In the 2022 drama, stars from Jed Mercurio's hit show cast also appeared alongside each other with Ingleby, Keeley Hawes, and Anneika Rose.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: This three-part true crime drama had already gained a notorious celebrity. Raoul Moat, the shotgun killer, had a traumatic reputation even before the trailers were shown. Moat, a wife-beater and child killer who also suffered life-changing injuries on his ex-girlfriend and a policeman picked randomly, was a sub-human piece of scum. His name would be erased from the record, a posthumous cancellation, if there was any justice. Rather, as The Hunt For Raoul Moat (ITV) shrewdly acknowledges, he rose to fame as an anti-hero who was praised by some on the internet as a modern-day outlaw. On social media, more than a decade ago, it's likely that you'll see him as the forerunner of macho 'influencers' who talk about treating women as possessions and sex objects.

Moat (inset), 37, caused one of the largest manhunts in Britain history when he killed his ex-girlfriend's girlfriend before shooting her and a police officer in Rothbury, Northumberland, in July 2010. The Hunt for Raoul Moat, a three-part series that airs on ITV later this month (right), will chronicle the infamous hunt for the shotgun-wielding brute. However, former detective chief superintendent Neil Adamson (left), the ex-chief of Northumbria CID, said the gunman was a "controlled and deranged misogynistic jerk," and expressed gratitude from the 30,000 people who liked a Facebook page titled "RIP Raoul Moat You Legend."

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: We saw Keeley Hawes on the beach for the last time, but she was busy with her four children and nursing a crush on the village taxi driver. The Durrells are not the Durrells, not Crossfire (BBC). Joeley's character is based on the sea, and she has a crush on a taxi driver (well, he runs a limo hire company). However, she's embroiled in a terrorist attack on a tourist resort rather than romantic muddles and amateur zoos. Corpses pile up by the sea. A teenage psychopath shoots the mystery boyfriend in the chest. Jo is a detective who goes looking for the murderous fanatics with her handgun.

After watching the first episode on Tuesday night, viewers of latest BBC drama Crossfire were left feeling 'nervous.' Many viewers were immediately hooked by the three-part series, with others taking to social media to say they had logged on to iPlayer to binge watch the remainder of the season. However, one individual was compelled to leave the program because it was too 'traumatic,' while others said they couldn't sleep after being shaken by the first instalment.

Keeley Hawes is thrilled to be playing a proactive former police officer in upcoming BBC drama Crossfire, with the actor saying that the action roles on television should be shaken up. In the three-part BBC drama, the actress, 46, who has worked in Bodyguard and Line of Duty, plays ex-cop Jo, with her character grabbing a pistol to battle a violent criminal group attempting to terrorize a holiday resort. And Keeley insists that there should be more female characters in dramatic action dramas, despite the actor being shocked that it's now a 'novelty' today.

Imagine relaxing in a stunning Canary Island resort, sipping a drink, kids playing in the water, the distant sounds of a water aerobics class is going on...and then gunmen rush in and start shooting people one by one. Louise Doughty, the creator of the book-turned-BBC-drama Apple Tree Yard, did so, and the result is a three-part thriller called Crossfire, which poses the greatest threat to us all.
