Princesa Ana: El complot para secuestrar a un miembro de la realeza

Clasificación:

Cualquiera que dude que la cocaína es ahora una obsesión de la clase media será cortésmente corregido por Before We Die (Ch4), un drama de crimen de drogas que gotea con la elegancia de un diseñador de centro comercial.

Ambientada en Clifton Village en Bristol, el equivalente de Hampstead en el West Country, está protagonizada por Kazia Pelka como la reina gángster croata Dubravka, una mujer que se viste con trajes de pantalón de seda como un modelo de Marks & Spencer.

Ya sea que esté ordenando el asesinato de un policía encubierto o enfrentando las amenazas de sus amos en Zagreb, siempre parece que se dirige al café John Lewis para tomar una taza de té y un trozo de bizcocho Victoria.

Su némesis es la detective Hannah Laing (Lesley Sharp), una mujer decidida a igualar el precio de Dubravka a precio de etiqueta. Sus blusas color crema y sus chaquetas beige cruzadas son tan evidentemente de una tienda departamental de lujo, que prácticamente todavía tienen los clips de seguridad electrónicos conectados.

Cierto, Hannah no tiene una piscina cubierta con 10 millones de libras esterlinas de cocaína de contrabando escondida en bolsas de basura debajo. Pero tiene una cocina glamorosa con una isla con cubierta de mármol tan grande que tiene su propio código postal de Bristol, y una sala de estar con techos altos de estilo georgiano y ventanales a lo largo de acres de vegetación.

Before We Die (Ch4) es un drama de crimen de drogas que gotea con la elegancia de un diseñador de centro comercial.

Y cuando visita a su terapeuta, la sesión tiene lugar en Royal York Crescent, la terraza más exclusiva de Clifton. Ojalá el guión fuera tan elegante como el telón de fondo. Before We Die, una nueva versión de un thriller sueco, es más de madera que un bosque de pinos escandinavos.

Vincent Regan interpreta al curtido compañero de Hannah, un canoso veterano de las fuerzas especiales que casualmente tiene una camioneta repleta de equipos que pueden escuchar cualquier llamada telefónica. Pero Billy está más interesado en poner ojos de cachorrito en Hannah, rogándole que se olvide de los viejos y tontos círculos del crimen organizado y se escape con él.

Hannah no puede hacerlo. “No creo que tenga espacio en mi cabeza o en mi corazón para nada bueno en este momento”, dice. Y obviamente no irá a ninguna parte sin un M&S cerca.

La única forma en que Before We Die podría ser más de madera sería tener un modelo a escala como un diorama ferroviario, con todos los personajes como pequeñas figuras pintadas en poses de acción. Ese es el método utilizado para representar los eventos fuera del Palacio de Buckingham en 1974, en Princess Anne: The Plot To Kidnap A Royal (Ch4).

En lugar de filmar reconstrucciones con actores, el documental escenificó el ataque fallido con muñecos de juguete. Algunos de los que estaban allí (aunque no la Princesa Real ni su entonces esposo, el Capitán Mark Phillips) movieron los modelos para explicar cómo se desarrolló la acción.

El oficial de protección de Anne, Jim Beaton, recogió su figura y la examinó con ironía. “Puede parecer un poco He-Man, pero aparte de eso, está bien”, dijo.

El coraje de Jim fue tan notable como su modestia. Cuando el aspirante a secuestrador Ian Ball detuvo la limusina real en el Mall, se arrojó fuera del auto. Ball le disparó en el pecho: “Hubo un destello y una explosión, fue como un toque de una pelota de cricket, y me di cuenta de que me habían disparado”.

El guardaespaldas sacó su propia pistola, una Walther PPK, pero se atascó. “Pensé, ‘Ooops’”, dijo. Ball le volvió a disparar, en la mano y luego en el abdomen. El último pensamiento de Jim, mientras se derrumbaba, fue que estaba usando un traje nuevo y no quería ensuciarlo.

El coraje de los transeúntes que intervinieron también fue impresionante. Pero fue Anne quien se impuso la frialdad. Negándose a salir del auto, le dijo a Ball: ‘Vete, tonto’.

Eso es diálogo.

Holly Willoughby wows at NTAs without Schofield one year after being booed | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Published

on

Holly Willoughby looked on incredible Tuesday night as she showed off her sense of style in a stunning lilac dress which skimmed the floor.

The gorgeous frock featured a bandeau style corset which cinched in her waist and highlighted her incredible figure as she made an appearance on the red carpet at the National Television Awards 2023.

The 42-year-old took to the red carpet solo as her former co-presenter Phillip Schofield sensationally quit his role on This Morning earlier this year.

The stunning attire designed by Suzanne Nevill London saw Holly put her incredible physique on display as she posed for photos ahead of the big event.

The blonde beauty looked ethereal in the figure-hugging dress which featured a long train.

Holly put on a brave face despite the ITV favourite getting booed when she took to the stage at the award ceremony last year.

The presenting duo attended the awards show on (October 13), where This Morning was named Best Daytime Show.

When she took to the stage alongside her former co-star Phillip the pair were met with faint boos by the audience.

It comes after the presenting duo sparked outrage amid claims the pair had skipped the queue when they went to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II at her lying in state in September 2022.

When taking to the stage, neither addressed the controversy, but Phil said the award means “so much to us every year, especially this year”.

He added: “Please don’t think we ever get complacent and please don’t think we ever take it for granted. This means so much to us every year, especially this year. We have the best boss.”

Holly’s appearance at this year’s NTAs comes in the wake of the Phillip scandal which has plagued This Morning after the longstanding presenter, who quit ITV altogether in May, admitted to an “unwise but not illegal affair” with a much younger colleague.

The 62-year-old has since unfollowed Holly on Instagram ahead of the ceremony but still follows her sister Kelly and at the time of writing Holly still follows Phillip on Instagram.

Holly and Phil had been among the regular nominees for best presenters until the long-running scandal, which has also seen staff on the show raise allegations of a “toxic” working environment and alleged bullying.

However, Holly has not been nominated this year and instead her co-star Alison Hammond has been nominated for best presenter.

The nomination is expected to break Ant and Dec’s 21-year winning streak.

The National Television Awards airs tonight on ITVX at 8pm.

This Morning presenters booed by NTAs audience after ITV bosses feared it could happen | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Published

Fears that ITV nominees were going to be booed at the National Television Awards appear to have come true.

ITV bosses reportedly feared that This Morning stars might be booed following the scandal that has engulfed the programme since Phillip Schofield dramatically left the show in May.

Phillip, 62, sensationally quit all of his TV roles following the admission that he had an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague.

Viewers watching the show at home heard booing from the crowd when the This Morning team appeared on screen.

Joel Dommett introduced Holly, Alison, Dermot and the rest of the team when the crowd reacted.

Fans were quick to take to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share what they heard.

One fan viewer said: “I heard boos for this morning I’m sorry if they win after all that’s happened, it’s a fix #NTAs2023.”

A second said: “Piers Morgan got more boos than This Morning lmao #NTAs2023.”

Whilst a third supported the This Morning team, writing: “People need to give the whole @thismorning drama a rest, there is zero need to boo someone you’ve never met but feel you “know” #NTAs2023.”

There were also concerns that fans may have taken aim at the cast and crew of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!.

Worries were raised due to Matt Hancock’s controversial appearance in the show. His participation attracted over 1,000 Ofcom complaints.

Despite the backlash, the reality TV show is up for the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award, whilst show hosts Ant and Dec are up for the Best TV Presenter award.

Speaking of the worries, a source has claimed: “Bosses see this win as proof of I’m A Celebrity’s ongoing popularity but also a reflection of the fact that it returned to form in 2022 after Covid forced it to be filmed in the UK rather than Australia for two years.

“They don’t want that glorious moment on stage to be affected by anything negative, but they also know the strength of feeling against Matt.”

Piers Morgan was also booed as Joel pointed him out to the audience. Piers took it in good humour as the TalkTV host laughed and shook his head at the crowd’s reaction.

The 20-year-old took to the stage and paid tribute to his dad, saying: “It has little to do with me and everything to do with my dad.”

The camera panned to his father Jeff Brazier, 44, who was visibly emotional as he watched his son scoop the award for Rising Star.

Bobby joined the cast of EastEnders earlier this year to play Freddie Slater.

Whilst on stage Bobby also thanked his EastEnders co-stars.

He praised them for being supportive, lovely and merciful, claiming that it was everything that he needed.

He also joked that his fellow cast are so good that he doesn’t need to ask questions – he can just observe and he automatically gets better.

After he received his award, Bobby told Express.co.uk how he was going to celebrate his win saying: “I’ll have a dance tonight, if my dad wants to… I think I’m going to cry when I see him.”

He was also asked what he was going to do with his gong and thoughtfully responded: “I just want to go and give it to my dad, or Lacey Turner.”

Bobby is also set to appear as a contestant on the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2023
