MyAnna Buring has announced a charity auction of personal memorabilia from her career to raise funds for All Our Relations, a grassroots organisation supporting families displaced by conflict. The Swedish-born British actress is offering her original script from The Descent and two handmade Long Susan skirts from Ripper Street Season 5.

The highest bidders, will be contacted on 23 July at 4 Pm UK time, and those lucky few will receive their items, personally packaged and sent by Buring.

The Making Of The Descent: "Telos Publishing is pleased to announce that they have signed The Making Of The Descent, a coffee table book looking at the behind the scenes and making of Neil Marshall's cult horror film The Descent.

The book also features extensive interview quotes from many of the behind the scenes team and cast about their experiences making the film.

'Getting to peek behind the curtain and deep dive into the making of one of the most iconic UK horror films ever made has been an absolute dream come true,' says Janine.
