AUSTRALIA: Deadwater Fell Begins On BBC First Next Month

-
Image
The dark UK series Deadwater Fell is coming to BBC First in Australia from March 12th. The gripping four-part psychological drama was created by Daisy Coulam and stars David Tennant as Tom Kendrick, a respected GP in a close Scottish community, whose family die tragically in a house fire which was started deliberately. Deadwater Fell aired on Channel 4 in the UK during January.

Deadwater Fell

When a seemingly perfect and happy family is murdered by someone they know and trust, the small Scottish community they call home becomes riven with mistrust and suspicion as those closest to the family begin to question everything they thought they knew about their friends. Deadwater Fell examines in unflinching detail the nature of female friendship and the harmful, entrenched gender stereotypes and conformity that can lead to the most devastating consequences. Laying bare the fragility of trust and the corrosive nature of lies, the series demonstrates that even the closest of friends all have th…

Channel 4 Celebrates Deadwater Fell's Ratings Performance (Contains Spoilers)

-
Image
The critically acclaimed Channel 4 drama Deadwater Fell, starring David Tennant, Anna Madeley, Cush Jumbo and Matthew McNulty, concluded last month, bringing focus on the sadly often misunderstood and undetected subjects of domestic abuse and coercive control. Expecting a traditional murder mystery, viewers tried to guess who had set the fire that took the lives of a mother and her three daughters. However, as is the case for many victims of abuse, there was no clever twist for Kate, and her own requests for help went unheard as those around her (and the viewers) chose to believe a clever and manipulative individual instead.

Deadwater Fell proved to be a ratings winner for Channel 4 with a series average of 4.4 million viewers, giving an average audience share of 17.6%.  This made it the most successful series by Channel 4 since 2018's Kiri. It has also been the biggest ever drama on Channel 4's streaming service All 4.

UK: David Tennant Narrates New Episode Of Spy In The Wild Premiering Tonight On BBC One

-
Image
David Tennant is the narrator for a second series of the award winning wildlife series Spy in The Wild. The new four part series continues on BBC One at 9pm tonight. 

In tonight’s episode of the new series the spy creatures explore the islands of the Southern Seas. In these isolated places, far from the mainland, some of the most unique animals on earth have evolved. On the Galapagos Islands, Spy Iguana joins marine iguanas as they bask on ancient lava, before cliff-diving into the sea below. Lavacam films battling females as they fight over the best nesting spots and Spy Iguana joins them as they comically spray snot, a technique that removes sea salt from their bodies.
On Christmas Island, red crabs emerge from their burrows following the monsoon rains. Spy Crab walks with them as they unite as an army and march to the sea. On the way, they tackle barriers that in the past they would never have encountered: high metal fences and busy roads. When they finally arrive, they perform a vic…
