Award winning actress Miriam Margolyes confirms why she turned down a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Per News.Com.Au, Margolyes discussed the topic in her memoir, Oh Miriam!, which was published on Jan. 2, 2024. Margolyes wrote that she turned down a Marvel film, and she spoke more about it in an interview about the book. The interview was conducted last fall but is now starting to make the rounds in the press and on social media. In the interview, Margolyes noted how she rejected Marvel's offer of signing on for a four-month production schedule in Georgia. Margolyes did not name the project, but it was likely Agatha, the WandaVision spinoff series, as she said it involved "witches." That series was filmed in Georgia for about four months in 2023.

Actor who became a prolific TV director
Peter Hammond, who has died aged 87, moved from acting to become a prolific TV director, contributing to series including The Avengers, Granada's Sherlock Holmes series and Inspector Morse. It was with The Avengers in 1961 that he first made his mark. Hammond and his colleague Don Leaver directed 19 of the opening 26 episodes of the series between them and were largely responsible for creating its distinctive look in its pre-film days.
Hammond established himself as a quick worker who still managed to bring flair to his episodes. He developed a trademark style in which the confines of the small studio spaces would be enlivened by "foreground interest" and scenes would be distorted or heightened by being shot through glass or caught in the reflection of a mirror.

A hoard of lost TV dramas – starring the likes of Sean Connery, Maggie Smith and Derek Jacobi – have resurfaced. What do they say about TV then and now?
We have become used to the idea of major TV dramas being imported from America: series such as The Wire, The Sopranos and The West Wing. But a stash of programmes heading for Britain this month have a more complicated history. These are not strictly imports; rather, they are being returned to their country of origin.
The 65 plays – starring actors such as Sean Connery, Maggie Smith and Derek Jacobi – were transmitted by the BBC and ITV between 1957 and 1969, but were only seen once. Subsequently, if they were asked after by historians or biographers, they were found to be missing, presumed wiped, a frequent fate in a period when the preservation of TV programmes was an expensive business. However, during a recent stock-taking...
