VIVIENNE VYLE EPISODE TWO

BBC 2 / Thursday October 11 @ 9.00pm

A new Jennifer Saunders comedy is always something to look forward to, the second episode of her new series about a daytime talk show host contains much hilarity. As always with Saunders too it is the dark underbelly she casually exposes that moves her work into another realm almost. The casting too is once again spot on, with roles for the fabulous Miranda Richardson and the under rated Brian Conley.

In the second episode Vivienne is inspired by rival Chris Connor's seamless interaction with his audience and attempts the same with her own spectators, much to the chagrin of producer Helena. The hunch is right as Vivienne is met with a wall of silence. After a disastrous promo meeting, Vivienne fires her
marketeers and calls in the aid of her much-trusted PR, the transgender Miriam, to implement tactics. Her first port of call under Miriam's direction is to visit and "touch" her real fans, as she makes a guest appearance at the local Macro ? to the great distress of her ever-loyal husband, Jared.

DOC MARTIN SEASON THREE EPISODE FIVE

Former Coronation Street actress Denise Black dyed her hair bright red to star in tonight’s episode of Doc Martin. “I play Dawn Lamb, the mother of the doctor’s receptionist, Pauline. Dawn is brash and boho, so I dyed my hair red exclusively for the role,” Denise explains. But the dramatic colour change didn’t go quite as Denise had planned. “I volunteered to come on set a day early because after I had dyed my hair the colour was rather robust. The make up artists looked stunned. ”A Corrie fan who saw me when I was walking around Cornwall during filming screamed when she saw the colour of my hair.” In the fifth episode of the third season which airs tonight on ITV1 @ 9.00pm will the course of true love run smooth for the star crossed couple Dr Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes) and school headmistress Louisa Glasson (Caroline Catz) as they go on their first date? It is the perfect spot for romance: being serenaded with classical music at a concert in the stunning grounds of a country hou...

ELAINE CASSIDY ON A ROOM WITH A VIEW

The very lovely Elaine Cassidy plays Lucy Honeychurch in ITV1 splendid new adaptation of E.M. Forsters A Room With A View (adapted by Andrew Davies so expect some raciness amongst the longing glances). We caught up with Lucy recently to talk about the romantic drama. Spending hours at the piano practising with a concert pianist, Elaine Cassidy has rediscovered a childhood interest in playing, although she never had a passion for it like her character Lucy Honeychurch in A Room With A View. "Lucy lives out her emotions through her piano playing, but she isn't aware of it which is really sweet.” Explaining how she came to portray a talented pianist Elaine says: "I really can't play the piano that well. I had lessons for three years when I was young but then I lost interest in it, so I didn't practise and didn't get any further. “Tanya, my tutor on the show, was absolutely brilliant. She plays lots of concerts and seemed to have an understanding of what we we...
