Telly that bridges the Pond
A happy hump day it is, because we get to slide into the weekend knowing that Detectorists, one of the best British comedies ever, is returning for another season. Woo hoo!
A cinema and telly star on both sides of the pond, Toby Jones is set to star alongside Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in the upcoming fourth season of Sherlock.
Acorn, the RLJ Entertainment brand that brings some of the best British TV to the US, has acquired the television, digital, and home entertainment rights to the highly-anticipated new espionage drama, The Secret Agent, from Content Television.
For comedy gold, look no further than to Detectorists, the BAFTA Award-winning series that returns next month to the States, nationally and locally, with its second series.
With new British TV programs progressing with production, a who’s who of acting talent from both sides of the pond has been announced.
Detectorists did gangbusters on BBC Four and has been gaining fans at Acorn TV. Now it’s headed to public TV, so even more viewers can discover how wonderfully awesome it is.
The Detectorists are coming! The Detectorists are coming! Paul Revere would be shouting this as fabulous news if he were around today, and you should be excited about it, too!
New British dramas are headed to telly in the coming months, and some of our favorite actors will be in them, including Amanda Abbington, Johnny Harris, Toby Jones, and Lesley Sharp, amongst others.
