News about Steven Mackintosh

On ITVx, British writer Kathryn Flett discusses Frannie Langton's Confessions. It tells the tale of a Jamaican slave girl on a 19th-century sugar plantation who winds up serving in England. Sara Collins, a Costa First Novelist, is the book based on Sara Collins' 2019 Costa First Novel Award.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Since it was first introduced on December 8, last year, the Confessions Of Frannie Langton (ITV1) has been available on the on-demand service ITVX. However, while other series, such as the excellent Nolly with Helena Bonham Carter as Crossroads queen No. 10, is likely to be delayed no longer. And what a wretched mess it is. Frannie, a West Indian slave who has been thrown from her happy Caribbean home, where everyone is relaxed, is led by her cruel master John (Steven Mackintosh) to England — a nation of Neanderthal thugs and racial old maids.
