Julie Walters (National Treasure) and Clarke Peters (The Wire) are fronting a dark, irreverent drama based around a death pact for broadcaster Channel 4.
They will star in Clerkenwell Films’ six-part Truelove, which is written by from Iain Weatherby (Humans) and co-created with Charlie Covell. She wrote the tonally similar Channel 4 and Netflix drama The End Of The F***ing World — another Clerkenwell production.
With a core cast in their 60s and 70s, Channel 4 says the series “breaks the rules for older characters on screen and flips ageist tropes on their head in a series which promises thrilling twists and turns, irreverent humour and passionate romance.”
Walter will play Phil, an ex-senior police chief enjoying a comfortable if boring retirement, and Peters plays Ken, a divorcee and ex-special forces vet who feels similarly at sea. The pair are childhood sweetheart who never quite managed to forget each other.

Suffragette writer Abi Morgan says that a teenage hockey match was the inspiration behind BBC One and SundanceTV’s drama The Split, which brings together high-profile divorces, an obsession with other peoples’ relationships and a predominantly female cast and crew.
Morgan, who previously created period drama The Hour and crime thriller River, said that the idea for the six-part series came about while she was watching her daughter’s school game. “I started talking to a mum and she said she was a divorce lawyer and by the end of the hockey match, which I watched very little, I realised it was a great world for a show, with London as the divorce capital of the world,” she says.

In a recent AfterEllen huddle, we were asked what we would change about television if we could, and I answered that I would give a woman a shot at the titular role of Doctor Who. Well, clearly Matt Smith reads this website because barely a month later he announced his departure from the show, following the upcoming Christmas special. This is kind of sad news, given that the Internet has only just stopped referring to Smith as "the new Doctor," but since the franchise will carry on, so must we. And now that a change in lineup is set to occur, it's time to weigh in on who we'd like to wield the sonic screwdriver.

Since its inception, 11 actors have helmed the Tardis. They have been young and old, serious and whimsical, but they have all had a couple of things in common.

Morning Brew - Wednesday, Feb. 1: Heather Peace guest edits for "G3," Sarah Paulson in "Game Change"
It's officially February! Are you dreading Valentine's Day yet? Excited about it? Couldn't care less? Awesome!
Heather Peace was the guest editor of G3's love issue and she shares the cover with her Lip Service co-star Fiona Button. Cute!
Jane Lynch will be hosting The 14th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards in Los Angeles on February 21. She's definitely a great host, so they've got a winner in Ms. Lynch.
Speaking of Jane, I'm glad to see her in the promo for next week's Glee, which also stars Ricky Martin.
Can Glee learn some things from Degrassi? Probably. Palex kissed sometimes!
Have you been watching Alcatraz? Out actress Geri Jewell was on this week's episode and will start showing up more. I need to find it and watch, but she's been getting rave reviews for her role. Geri told Access Hollywood:
“n a scene that I filmed for this coming episode,...

"Great LezBritian" is a fortnightly stroll through the very best of British lesbo-centric entertainment and culture. Plus there will be some jolly good interviews with the top ladies who are waving the flag for gay UK.
This is sadly the last of our Lip Servant interviews, even though Fiona Button was actually the first Lip Servant that we interviewed – before we had seen any of the show, or ever seen her act in a scene on set.
On the day we met, she was ready for the botox scene with Ed, and she and James were hanging out in the green room, having a laugh and behaving very much like we’ve seen Ed and Tess behave for the last five weeks. We did the interview, drank James’ coffee and left thinking that they were lovely, genuine people and wrote up the interview.

It's the morning after the night before, and the camera pans down lustfully on Frankie's naked body as she lies in bed alone. Something tells us Jay probably isn't in the kitchen whipping them up some scrambled eggs.
She picks up her own camera looking for some visual reminders of last night's drunken debauchery and is presented with Shave-gate, Jay and general shame. She lingers over a close-up picture of herself – all running mascara and smeared lipstick and quite rightly decides that it's not one for Facebook. Instead, she deletes it and leaps out of bed. Frankie has what we call in Britain on a morning like this, "The Fear."
DS Murray admirers will right now be screen-grabbing like their very lives depend on it as the hot cop writhes around in bed, semi-naked, while Cat pleasures her downstairs.
The climax is so intense for the hot cop that when...

When we first went onto the Lip Service set, we cannot tell a lie, it was Ruta Gedmintas that first caught our eye. We can thank series creator, Harriet Braun for suggesting the frankly delicious haircut, but we must give her parents and genetics a massive high five for the rest.
Our interview with Ruta took place during filming back in December. In person, she was intense, thoughtful and extremely articulate. She talked passionately about the show and had obviously spent a lot of time studying and coming to grips with the role of Frankie.
Since the first episode aired, two things have been made clear to us; Frankie is undoubtedly the most divisive...

"Great LezBritian" is a fortnightly stroll through the very best of British lesbo-centric entertainment and culture. Plus there will be some jolly good interviews with the top ladies who are waving the flag for gay UK.
So here we are finally watching Lip Service after months and months of full on c--k-teasing by the BBC. It’s like we’ve been having a long-term online relationship with Lip Service and we’re finally meeting for the first time. We’ve dressed up and we’re a little bit drunk.
While we waited, we watched Anne Lister — which was really very good — but we’ll be glad of some modern day action. We also watched bits of The Real L Word so we’ll be glad of something that doesn’t make us feel violently sick.
The first scene opens on a sunny street.
Lee: But this doesn’t look like Glasgow?...

The countdown clock may feel somewhat weighty whilst we sit tight in anticipation for Lip Service, the UK’s first lesbian specific drama to begin on BBC Three next month. But, fellow lesbians, we have something quite special to offer you to interrupt the passing of time.
Whilst we were on set, trying to sneak inconspicuously behind the extras to speak to cast and crew — often on the sly — we gathered lots of Lip Service tidbits that we kept in a box in a secret place. We’ve now ripped it open and, quite opposite to Pandora and her box, this free fall of information is sure to put smiles on many faces.
