Andromeda, ich schätze, der Strohhalm wird nicht halten. Vielmehr sieht es so aus, als wenn wir RA mal so richtig leiden und möglicherweise scheitern sehen werden.
Aber das ist es doch auch eigentlich, was ihr sehen wolltet, oder nicht? Keine weichgespülte Serie, sondern ein ernstes Thema, wo RA mal in die Trickkiste greifen muß. Mir ist es jedenfalls lieber, er leidet sich in einem Teil einer anspruchvollen Serie zu Tode, als daß er wieder auf eingefahrenen Pfaden zu sehen ist. Und er bringt doch Verzweiflung und Verzicht so gut rüber . Aber noch steht nichts fest, also gilt es Ruhe zu bewahren, ausreichend Tempo zu kaufen und den Frühling abzuwarten. Dann werden wir ja sehen, was er so macht.

so was nimmt mich beim Zuschauen immer so furchtbar mit! Besonders, wenn es so realistisch gespielt wird, wie RA es bestimmt tun wird!

There's a short piece in today's Radio Times (21st-27th March) about Moving On.

The producer, Colin McKeown says it's about characters who are moving on in their lives. The series showcases up-and-coming writers and directors, many of whom are new to TV.

"That sounds risky," says McKeown, "but we didn't think so. There aren't many opportunities to let people cut their teeth in this business - the way to do it is to harness these first-time writers and directors to an experienced team."

It says the scripts "have attracted a formidable cast, which includes Sheila Hancock, Richard Armitage and Lesley Sharp". Themes explored include "the property slump, gun violence and, in an episode starring Ian Hart and Dervla Kirwan, tranvestism."

"I think Moving On is one of the best daytime series there's ever been," adds MecKeown, who was part of the team that launched the C4 soap, Brookside in 1982. "I'm as excited about this as a showcase for new writing talent as I was about Brookside."

The Radio Times says the series will be broadcast "early this summer".

Diese oder nächste Woche wird wohl das erste Mal so ein Nachmittagsdrama ähnlich wie Moving On, nur halt eine andere Reihe, laufen und ich bin mal gespannt, ob sowas bei den Zuschauern ankommt

... wer hat schon Zeit nachmittags um 14.30 Uhr fernzusehen???

Das könnte dann Missing sein. und Vormittags kommt eine Doku, Missing life.

Zu irgendwas muss die Wirtschaftskrise doch gut sein? Wenn ich mir ansehe, auf welche Zielgruppen RTL und Co. ihr Nachmittagsprogramm ausgerichtet haben.

According to the Sunday Times Culture magazine these dramas are going to air in May.

I got this from my friend on the paper but not sure where it comes from.

"Drowning Not Waving stars Christine Tremarco (Clocking Off, Waterloo Road) as Ellie Morgan, a single thirtysomething in debt. The rising cost of living in 21st century Britain has put her deliberately independent way of life under threat and she is forced to put her house up for sale in order to raise the capital to pay off her debts, but with a dead housing market, Ellie is running out of time. Then, a face from the past turns up in the shape of John Mulligan (Richard Armitage), a former boyfriend and 'bad boy turned good', who is now making a killing as a property developer. John offers to buy Ellie's house and keep her on as a tenant. It seems the perfect solution, especially as there is also a whiff of romance in the air. But not everything is as it seems and Ellie is soon faced with some difficult decisions when the seemingly perfect John Mulligan turns out to be not so perfect after all.... Can Ellie stay true to her principles, or will she sell her soul for the sake of keeping the roof over her head?"

Obviously, am excited bout the prospect of seeing RA in seduction mode! Can't wait!

I think all five episodes are on every day of May 18-22 but don't know which day RA is on.
