John Preston Teams With BBC<\/a> For Stonehouse<\/a><\/em><\/strong>
John Preston, the author of the book behind Golden Globe-winning BBC\/AMC series A Very English Scandal<\/em>, has been commissioned to pen a BBC drama about a British politician who faked his own death. Stonehouse<\/em>, named after John Stonehouse who staged his death on a Miami beach in 1974, is a three-part series co-produced by UK indies Clearwood Films and Snowed-In Productions, with Banijay Rights handling international distribution. Clearwood founder Ellie Wood (Decline And Fall<\/em>) and Ruth Kenley-Letts (Mrs Wilson<\/em>) are executive producing, marking Preston’s second collaboration with Wood after they teamed on The Dig<\/em> for Netflix, a feature starring Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes, Lily James and Johnny Flynn. “There has never been a more bizarre true-life story than that of John Stonehouse, who miraculously came back to life a month after his own ‘death.’ I am thrilled to have the chance to dramatise a case which has fascinated me for as long as I can remember,” Preston said.<\/p>\n

Michael Palin<\/a> To Reflect On Travels For BBC Two Series
<\/strong>Monty Python<\/em> star Michael Palin is going to reflect on four of his iconic travel shows in a four-part archive series for BBC Two, in which he will jog his memories through a collection of intimate interviews, readings from his diaries and clips from the original programs. Palin has presented series including Around The World In 80 Days<\/em> and Pole To Pole<\/em> and highlights from the shows will be drawn together in Michael Palin’s Travels<\/em> by Firecrest Films. “In this series, I’m digging into my archives to revisit some of the amazing places and people I visited and asking myself – how did travel change my life?” Palin said. Iain Scollay is the executive producer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
