YASMEEN TRAPPED AND TERRIFIED AS HER EVIL HUSBAND CROSSES A LINE…

Nasty Geoff is tightening his grip on Yasmeen


Yasmeen needs Geoff to do a disappearing act

W

icked Geoff pulls an unforgivable stunt this week, leaving terrified Yasmeen shaken to the core… After the magician forces Yasmeen to take part in his ‘crushed in a box’ routine for a children’s birthday party, mortified Geoff blames Yasmeen when the trick doesn’t go to plan. So when the pair get home, he sadistically traps her for real – locking his wife in the box again while he heads off down the pub! The cruel irony of Yasmeen’s nightmare is that, on the same day, Alya wants to treat her grandma to a relaxing massage – until Geoff scuppers their plans by roping Yasmeen into being his magician’s assistant at Michael’s daughter’s party.

“Geoff doesn’t want Yasmeen to spend time with Alya…” “Geoff doesn’t want Yasmeen to spend the day with Alya,” sighs Shelley King, who plays Yasmeen. “He is so instinctive and determined to isolate her from her family, despite Yasmeen telling him that she doesn’t cope well with enclosed spaces.” Yasmeen suffers from claustrophobia, so the last thing she wants is to clamber into a box while showman Geoff performs his act. Nevertheless, Yasmeen does as her husband asks – only for him to turn on her when it all goes pear-shaped. “The audience is laughing and taunting Geoff, but it is all in good humour,” insists Shelley. “Initially, when Yasmeen gets out of the box she is really happy, because everyone is having a good time.” CONTINUED OVER ↘ lnsideSoap 5

However, when Geoff discovers ers that a video of the cock-up has been n posted online, he loses it and trolls Yasm meen with the footage. Interestingly, he also has a pop at Tim, who is surprised that his father isn’t able to see the funny side of the whole thing. Tim just sees a snapshot of Geoff’s true colours, though, while Yasmeen continues to bear the brunt of his fury. “Of course, what she hasn’t accounted for is that his ego has been dented,” shares Shelley. “When they are back at the house, he begins to berate Yasmeen, saying it’s her fault and pushing the video in Tim can’t quite believe the scenario her face very aggressively. he’s stumbled upon She’s very scared as Geoff is physically stronger, and Yasmeen feels threatened.” Once she is inside the box, he fetches The worst of his awful abuse is still his keys and locks Yasmeen in – before to come, however, as Geoff dupes heading off to the Rovers!

She panics and wa asmeen a lesso arts b ating the inside of the box.”

To Yasmeen’s astonishment, though, it’s not Geoff who lets her out – but Tim! Geoff’s horrified when he returns home to find the pair sitting on the sofa together, and is confronted by sceptical Tim, who doesn’t quite believe his dad’s excuses. As Yasmeen is forced to confront the idea that Geoff deliberately imprisoned her – and more people gradually catch on to his behaviour – will he finally be brought to account for his abuse?

here’s fresh hell for jailed Marlon this week, when his daughter April flees the village. Having been arrested for killing Graham, on the back of seemingly damning evidence, Marlon is already trapped in a living nightmare. But hearing that his daughter has run away pushes him over the edge – and he tries to break out of jail! “Marlon is in a terrible place,” sighs star Mark Charnock, who plays him. “So when news reaches him that April has run away, he loses his mind. It’s the worst possible scenario, as he can’t control the situation – and he just goes nuts. He starts fighting with a prison guard and is dragged back to his cell, screaming…” After being charged with Graham’s murder, Marlon is desperate to convince the police that they have the wrong man while he awaits trial. But with the evidence against him stacking up, the prospect of a lengthy stint behind bars looms horrifyingly large. “The outlook is genuinely bleak,” admits Mark. “Marlon knows the evidence the police have, and it looks bad. He can see why they think what they think, although he just can’t

disprove it. Each time someone visits him, they try to make him feel more confident about the situation – however, he knows in his heart that he could easily end up going down for this…” In his fragile state of mind, Marlon makes the questionable decision that April mustn’t visit him, and insists that the Dingles – who are taking care of his daughter in his absence – keep her from doing so. So despite the fact that she is desperate to see her dad, they fib that only adults are allowed a visiting order. But it’s April’s despair about the scenario that prompts the youngster to run away. “Marlon thinks April seeing him in this horrible place will damage her,” explains Mark. “She’s had so much heartache in her life – including losing her mum, Donna, in such a tragic way – and Marlon doesn’t want to devastate her any more. He’s misguided, in my opinion, but he’s trying to protect her.” In the wake of April fleeing, and the prison showdown that follows, locked-up Marlon is at his wits’ end and can barely see a way forward. “I’ve said it before, but parenthood is everything to Marlon, so to hear what’s happened to April drives him virtually insane,” shares Mark. “The guilt is awful, and he essentially thinks it’s all his fault. Metaphorically speaking, the walls are closing in on him, and Marlon’s ready to give up. Basically, he’s hanging on to his sanity by a thread…” Allison Jones

Graham’s visit to Pierce set off the chain of events that led to his death

“Pierce believes he’s Rhona’s knight in shining armour!”

Rhona went to see her ex in prison – but what will she make of his return?

I

n the days leading up to the much-anticipated reveal of who murdered Graham, Inside Soap was invited to a secret audience with the unnamed actor behind the killer character. A few hours prior to this clandestine meeting, we were given privileged access to watch the big reveal episode before anyone else – and as Rhona’s convicted rapist of an ex-husband Pierce loomed out of the darkness, we were knocked for six! While it’s of course a delight to come face to face with star Jonathan Wrather again, the last time we saw Pierce was back in the summer of 2017, when he was being sent down for raping Rhona on their wedding day. So he was the very last person we expected to be rearing his ugly head in the village once more…

IIN N A TO TOP-SECRET OP SEC CRET P PRESS RESS CONFERENCE, JONATHAN WRATHER TELLS ALL ON PIERCE’S KILLER RETURN…

What a shocker, Jonathan! You must have been sworn to secrecy for months… It’s been a lot of fun! I’ve been shuffled in and out of the studio, and my building pass had another name and photo on it. I was ‘Mark Bloomfield’, and I was referred to as Mark in the script. I had a slight identity crisis! Half the cast didn’t know I was coming back – we’ve been keeping this amazing secret, so hopefully it pays off. But all the skulking about has added to the excitement.

of faith. I asked would I work with Zoe Henry [Rhona] again, and when the answer was yes, it was a no-brainer – I jumped at the chance.

Pierce is not long out of prison when we see him. Would he have stayed away from the village if not for Graham’s visit to his home?

“Pierce feels judged and humiliated by Graham”

How did you feel when you were asked to return? I was thrilled, as I’d had such a good time filming here. But they couldn’t give me too many details about the story at first, so it was a bit of a leap

I think most definitely he would have stayed away – Pierce feels Graham is the catalyst for what’s happened. Pierce feels judged and humiliated by Graham. He was just getting on with his life and had no intention of contacting Rhona until meeting Graham at the flat.

But what’s his motive for murdering Graham?

He wants to rescue Rhona. Pierce is well aware that he’s been violent, coercive and abusive himself, but he sees Graham as a danger to Rhona. He reads these characters well – from his experience as a lawyer, and perhaps his time in prison has also informed him. So he wants to save Rhona from her poor decision. He’s on a moral crusade – her so-called knight in shining armour.

Can he come to terms with being a killer, though? For Pierce, it’s justifiable. He thinks he’s helped Rhona, so he can compute that in his conscience – however skewed that is! He’s provided a service and changed Rhona’s life for the better, he believes.

Does he still have feelings for Rhona? Realistically he’s probably burnt that bridge, but if there


Graham’s finally breathed his last – and it was Pierce whodunnit!

was any chance he could be forgiven and set things straight between them, he’d jump at the chance. But that’s because in his mind – as he’s been having therapy in prison – he’s rehabilitated.

Could Rhona take revenge against Pierce? Would she want to, has she got it in her? Rhona is notoriously feisty and doesn’t stand for anything. But she could also be terrified – Pierce is out there and what’s he going to do? She certainly reacts in a way that we don’t know what she’s capable of – let’s put it that way.

What’s in store for Pierce? Well, I can’t say much – he’ll be around for a little bit, and there’s some very exciting stuff to come. But as always, it’s not what you expect! Allison Jones

BEST OF FRENEMIES! Jonathan had great fun filming g with Andrew A d Scarboroug – aka Graham (RIP)… “I was so glad to meet Andrew – it was great,” beams Jonathan. “We remembered that our paths had crossed once or twice at auditions in the past, but we’d never worked together before. Andrew was pumped up because it was the demise of Graham, so we just threw ourselves into it. It was a great story, and a good way for him to go, so I was thrilled to have the bits that we had together.”

Stars Max Bowden and Tony Clay, aka Ben and Callum, have been filming at night at an abandoned building – where Callum could end up going through a similar ordeal to the one Keanu endured when Ben hired Martin to kill him. “After Keanu said a tearful goodbye to his mum Karen at the airport, he seemed destined for a miserable life on the run,” recalls our Square insider. “However, he’s clearly picked up a trick or two from Ben and Phil, and could well turn the tables on them!” It looks as though, along with Jay, Callum’s brother Stuart will join Ben as they race to rescue him – but the drama is far from over.

properly is the only sensible way forward for him… “It’s the classic thing with Scott where he has to make a choice between his head and his heart,” explains star Ross Adams, who plays him. “His heart is definitely with Mitchell – he’s fallen hard for him, and Mitchell really changed his life.

As moving day arrives, Scott goes to his brother Damon for reassurance that he’s making the correct choice.

MITCHELL 45% means it, so he says, ‘Well, if what you’re saying is true, then I want you to Mitchell is kiss me now, desperate for Scott to choose in front of him over Azim everyone’. He wants to know that Mitchell isn’t ashamed of him, so that they can finally be with each other properly.” So will Mitchell rise to the challenge and go public with

his sexuality at last? Or will he let the love of his life slip through his fingers, as Scott heads off to start a new life with Azim? Whatever the outcome, Ross is delighted

AZIM 55%

“With my sensible head on, I’d be telling Scott to choose Azim, just because there’s less baggage,” reckons Ross Adams (Scott). “But if Scott was my friend, and I knew he was obsessed with Mitchell, I’d say to him that he should give it one last shot.” So who do the viewers think Scott should be with? We put the question out to our readers on social media, and it was a close call – 55 per cent of you think Scott should be with Azim, while only 45 per cent of you voted for Mitchell. “Scott should be with Azim, someone who loves and respects him,” said reader Gail on Facebook. “Scott should listen to his heart,” urged Jacqueline, presumably a member of Team Mitchell. Meanwhile, Rick hoped Scott would pick Azim – so he could have hunky Mitchell for himself. Cheeky!

So, in a desperate bid to win her back, Tim turns on the charm. “Being charming doesn’t come naturally to Tim – and given that Steve is his mentor in such matters, it’s not looking good!” laughs our Weatherfield gossip. “The first move he makes is to play the first dance song from their wedding through the letterbox. But Sally isn’t impressed at all, and tells him to sling his hook.” Although she’s absolutely furious with him, the truth is that Sally still loves Tim and is gutted that they are not legally married. So, when she looks

However, what she wasn’t expecting was a special invitation to be included in the mix… Tim has sent Sally an invitation to her own wedding, a gesture designed to prove that he’s serious about putting everything right. Sally isn’t bowled over – in fact, she’s mostly bemused. There’s no way that Tim has done enough to put right all his wrongs.

INSIDE SCOOP Luke offers to babysit baby Harry – will Victoria accept?

EMMERDALE | ITV FRIDAY

United by love! TOWARDS WENDY AND LUKE…

T

he bad blood between Victoria and the Posners looks to be abating this week – as Wendy shares a tender moment with baby Harry, while Victoria looks on. New mum Victoria has tried to keep her distance from rapist Lee’s family, but that has proved impossible since Wendy moved to the village. After seeing the turmoil that Wendy was in over living down the road from her grandson and not being part of his life, Victoria reluctantly agreed to let her

see baby Harry. It’s not been easy, yet there’s no doubt that Wendy adores her grandson, and that’s a good place to start to build a relationship. But things get more intense this week, when Vic discovers that Luke wants to apply for the chef’s position at the Woolpack – working next to her – is she getting too close for comfort to her rapist’s family? “While Luke has always believed and backed Victoria, having him working alongside her means he’ll become a big part of her daily life,” explains

our Emmerdale insider. “He’s respectful enough to ask her permission to apply, and he didn’t need to. Vic decides to give him the go-ahead, even though she’s not quite sure how it will feel when they are working side by side.” Vic’s best friend, Amy, continues to worry about her letting Wendy and Luke into her life. She has seen the harrowing impact of what happened, and wants to protect Victoria from more pain and suffering. But while Victoria understands her concerns – and it doesn’t sit entirely comfortably with her that Wendy is now in Harry’s life – she knows she can’t be the person to put the grieving mother through more anguish.

However, will she take another big step with the family this week, when Luke offers to mind little Harry for her? Although Luke appears to be the polar opposite of his evil

to make a fresh start when she organises a family meal to celebrate her birthday… “There’s been a lot of ill feeling between Ash and the rest of her family ever since she had an abortion when she was 19,” our EastEnders sneak reminds us. “And that’s only been made worse by the fact that Ash has been reluctant to visit Suki since she moved out. But now Suki is living in Walford, could the pair finally put their differences behind them?” When Vinny tells Ash about the birthday meal, he’s pleased that his sister is willing to come – yet he’s dismayed after her girlfriend Iqra invites herself

along to the bash too. However, Ash makes it clear that her family will have to get used to the fact that she and Iqra come as a pair! “Vinny thinks that Ash is only trying to cause trouble, as he just wants her to try to keep the peace in front of their mum,” sighs our mole. “He fears that the party will have a very frosty atmosphere if Ash insists on parading her girlfriend in front of Suki. But Ash and Iqra are adamant that they aren’t going to hide the truth, and you can’t blame them for that.” The next day, Kheerat, Vinny and Jags are stunned when Suki greets Ash and

However, while the two women are making amends, Patrick is growing steadily more suspicious… “Not everything seems to add up,” shares our Albert Square snoop. “Patrick gets on well with Isaac, but it raises various questions in his mind, so he heads off to have it out with Sheree!

Elsewhere, Denise is also intrigued by Isaac, especially after he happens to mention that none of his mother’s partners bother to stick around long after they meet him.

THE

interview

EMMERDALE | ITV MONDAY Y

As Laurel discovers the shocking truth of o her son’s actions, star Charlotte Bellamy can feeel her pain…

A

fter the toughest few years, it seemed that life was finally looking up for Laurel. Having battled an addiction to alcohol, and lost her beloved husband Ashley, she’d found new love with Jai and supported her family through their heartache. But she and Jai split when the former drug addict started using again – and worse is to come for poor Laurel this week. News reaches the village that her father-in-law Sandy has passed away, and Laurel is devastated – but it’s her son Arthur who takes Sandy’s death the hardest. In the inevitable emotional fallout, Arthur finally admits to his mum his cruel bullying of Jai’s son Archie A – and while Laurel tries to deal Bottled up: Will Laurel turn to the booze again?

Arthur chance: Laurel wants to protect her bully son

with the consequences of the revelation n, Charlotte Bellamy has every sympathy for her traumatised alter ego… “The story is very complex, and it’s going to get more so,” reveals the star. “But the thing is, as a parent myself, you’d always stick up for your child. You’ll always try and see the good in them, even if they’re being horrendous and a bully. You try to think of why – iss it your fault? The animalistic maternal instincts kick in, and I think every parent can kind of understand that.” It’ll be no easy task for Laurel to support Arthur following his dramatic admission, not least as it’s innocent Jimmy who’s been blamed for Archie’s bullying all these weeks. While Arthur believes Sandy’s death is a punishment from God for his treatment of Archie, Laurel has a painful predicament on her hands when Jai returns home

early from rehab – and she needs to decide whether or not to come clean… “Laurel blames herself and not Arthur,” admits Charlotte, who is mum to 15-yearold Sunnie, Herbie, aged 12, and 10-year-old Teddie with her husband Mungo. “She’s disappointed in him and shocked, of course, but she thinks she should have paid her son more attention – that Arthur’s vulnerable and didn’t know what he was doing. It’s a real turning point in the story. “But Laurel is also in denial. It’s a complicated, emotional journey that we’re embarking on here, which will get a lot worse. And there are other things in store that will make it even more complex…” Since Sandy was living in Australia with his close pal Betty Eagleton at the time of his death, it falls


Café confrontation: Laurel doesn’t want to believe that Arthur has been bullying Archie

Sad DEPARTURES Sandy’s passing is an emotional tribute to the loss of Freddie Jones, the beloved actor who played him… It’s not just the sadness of Sandy’s death that will be felt by the villagers this week – as veteran actor Freddie Jones, who played Sandy from 2005 until 2018, is also much missed by his Emmerdale co-stars after he passed away last July, aged 91. “When a cast member dies in real life, there has to be a period where the character is not really mentioned,” shares Charlotte. “But now feels the most correct and respectful time to acknowledge the actor and his character have died, and I feel the show has dealt with it really well.”

Charlotte admits the d decision to fly to the other side of the w world will prove a welcome respite for L Laurel as she stews over the best course o of action – but realises Laurel might be q quick to pull a veil over the matter. “It’s the perfect chance for Laurel to ignore the fact that she has to deal with tthis,” she sighs. “She feels that Arthur h has enough on his plate at the moment, a and that going to Australia will be a g good way of burying it. That’s Laurel’s ccharacter – the matriarchal figure who d doesn’t think that her child is in the w wrong. She’ll protect Arthur to the end.” Allison Jones

CASUALTY | BBC1 SATURDAY

W

hen I went for my audition for Duffy, the producer held up a picture of me and said, ‘If I needed a nurse, I’d like her to be someone like this – dependable and good at her job,’” recalls actress Cathy Shipton, aka Duffy, whose last episode of Casualty airs this week. “I didn’t realise he was offering me the role! I went home, and by the time I’d got back, he’d rung my agent to offer me the job.” That was back in 1986, and now – over three decades later – Cathy’s bidding farewell to the show. It’s an emotional time, but the 62-year-old tells us there are no regrets g about hanging up her nurse’s uniform…

CASUALTY’S CATHY SHIPTON JOINS US FOR ONE FINAL CH AS HER ALTER EGO DUFFY BOW A WS OUT OF THE SHOW GOOD…

Charlie’s angel: Duffy married her fellow medic in 2017

Lasting legacy: “People have told me they’ve become nurses because of Duffy,” says Cathy

What was it like filming Duffy’s last episo ode after 34 years?

So you’re feeling okay about saying goodbye to Duffy?

I knew it was going to be a huge tear-jerrker when I got the script. But at the same time, theree’s something beautiful abou ut this last episode – I’m prou ud of how it all comes to an eend. We first discussed the dementia storyline two yearrs ago – I said, “Oh, does thatt mean Duffy won’t be a nurse any more?”, so I was pleased that even in the last half a dozen episodes, her nursin ng skills and all of that experieence are still at the fore.

Oh yes, completely. Particularly as this last storyline was so well-researched, and truthful. There’s not a day that goes by when people don’t talk to me about this plot, and things that have happened – or are still happening – in their lives. It’s topical and necessary, and hopefully Duffy’s story is helping other people.

We can’t say too much about the last episode, but what can you tease? It’s a really powerful episode and totally honours the character. Duffy goes wandering out in the snow due to her dementia, and she’s confused. The


Part of the

FAMILY!

Cathy didn’t just make friends on set – she also met partner Christopher Guard when he was part of the Casaulty cast! “He came in to play the show’s first gay nurse, who fancied Charlie,” she recalls. “I was actually the one who suggested the storyline, as Charlie got a lot of gay fan mail. That was about 26 years ago!” Cathy also reveals that it was thanks to a young Casualty guest star that she discovered she was expecting her daughter! “I held a crying baby on set, and she went to putty in my hands,” she shares. “I did a pregnancy test that night, and it was positive. It turned out the baby knew because of my pregnancy pheromones! That’s a wonderful memory…”

Inner turmoil: Cathy’s portrayal of Duffy’s dementia has moved viewers

Duffy puts on one of her old uniforms during this episode – that must have taken you back… It was great, as it still fitted! But I did think, ‘Why did anyone ever wear these?’ Derek Thompson [Charlie] and I were consulted when the uniform was remodelled a few years ago, and I opted for a tunic and trousers. And lots of

nurses said, “Thank you!”, as it’s not the most practical wearing a skirt.

How should Duffy be remembered? A lot of people have told me that they’ve become nurses because of Duffy. There’s even a nurse advisor on the show who has a bangle with ‘What would Duffy do?’ on it! So there are people who got into the field of medicine because the creators of Casualty invented Duffy – and that’s the best legacy she could leave. Sarah Ellis

As Corrie celebrates 10,000 episodes with a bus to Blackpool, we look back at some other memorable excursions to Britain’s favourite seaside town… In its early days, Corrie was recorded entirely within a TV studio in Manchester. The first time the show ever filmed outside was in 1961, when battleaxe Ena Sharples and her friends Martha Longhurst and Minnie Caldwell, among others, took a trip to Blackpool. Huge crowds turned out to watch the filming of just four minutes of silent footage, which was set to jaunty music in the episode itself.

By contrast, Corrie’s second trip to Blackpool, later in 1961, never left Manchester at all! It was faked – bus journey and all – entirely within the studio. This visit saw Ena left behind in a fortune teller’s booth – trying to sniff out some juicy gossip! – while haughty Ken Barlow sneered at how low-brow and tacky Blackpool was, from the safety of a pretend South Pier! 48 lnsideSoap

Blackpool’s famous Illuminations have been switched on by Street stars on four separate occasions. The actors lucky enough to pull the lever were: Violet Carson (Ena) in 1961, Doris Speed (Annie Walker) in 1983, Julie Goodyear and Roy Barraclough (Bet and Alec Gilroy) in 1990, and – last year – local girl Lucy Fallon (Bethany). Meanwhile, the Blackpool outpost of Madame Tussaud’s is home to the waxy doppelgangers of a host of favourites, including Ken and Deirdre, Jack and Vera, and an uncannily lifelike Michelle Connor.

“Do you remember your first day at Hollyoaks and what was it like?” I remember it well – I only had a few scenes in what was then the Bean café. The thing I remember most was that I came in and Faye, our head of makeup, sheared me like a sheep. Any hair on my face or body at the time, there was none left when she was finished! I had a spray tan too, which I’d never had before.

“Can you tell us a secret about Lysette Anthony [aka Marnie]?”

52 lnsideSoap

No – I loathe the man! No, I’m joking, he’s a good pal. It’s great that James J is back on the show. It’s nice to have a mate to knock k about with. We saw a lot of each other when he was away – we’re wrriting some stuff together at the mo oment.

Welcome return: Greg’s pleased that James is back as John Paul

What can I tell you? That’s the question! Lysette is constantly buzzing as she owns several selfmassaging products. She wears an neck massager in-between akes, and has a massage seat ta w which hums away. Lysette h hasn’t offered it to me as of yet – but I’m hopeful that one day she will.

“Can you tell us a secret about Lysette Anthony?”

Leading lady: Greg spills the beans on co-star Lysette Anthony

“Are you pleased that James Sutton is back as John Paul?”

“Where is your favourite sp pot to film on set?”

It v varies with the way things are scheduled d. Sometimes if there are lots of scenes in n James’ apartment, we’ll do them all on the same day, which can be quite a long stretch! But I like being in there, and I like the village too – as long as there’s good weather, otherwise it can be a bit miserable in winter. We’re about to unveil the new-look village,

“Do you think you would make a better lawyer than J James?” No, as he’s literally the best lawyer in the country – I filmed a scene recently where I said that line. I studied law at A-level and didn’t do that well – so no, I don’t think I would be.

“What would you get up to if you and James went on a night out together?” Oh, well, I would try to find things we have in

common. We both like red wine and a good meal, so I think we’d go o and watch a classic film at a nice ciinema and share a bottle of wine.

“What do you get up to on a typical day off?”

We have worked with one another before – very briefly – on a short film. It was bizarre, but fun at the same time. I hope we get to do more with each other. Although it’s quite amusing being in Hollyoaks with Ariana, because she keeps arresting me!

“You’ve previously mentioned that your kids are too young to watch Hollyoaks – but have they seen you in anything else?” I don’t think they have seen me in anything else actually – maybe I should get out the showreel and make them watch it! My eldest, Rex, often comes home and repeats what some kids have said about my y character at school – that James is a baddie and things like that.

“Which former co-star would you most like to see e make a return?” There are so man ny. I was looking at pictures of the Niightingales the other day, and I’d happ pily take any of the them back. But ceertainly Richard Linnell, who played Alfie – he’s just such a lovely g guy, and we’d be very happy to havee him back anytime.

Pat on the back: James helped Robert’s career

“Can you te ell us a time when you’ve been n star-struck?” I once had a an audition with theatre direector Stephen Daldry, and I was sstar-struck by him. Mostly as he’s h about 7ft tall, and a rather im mposing figure.

“What do you get up to on a typical day off work?”

T Trying not to sound like to oo many other parents out there, but I generally ru un as a taxi service to clubs, and if it’s during the week then I deal with the school drop-offs. But if I do get any time, which is rare, I like to go to the golf driving range for an hour’s peace.

“If you hadn’t gone into acting, what would you be doing for a living?” I honestly don’t know, as it never really came up. But I’ve done pretty much

“Are you a football fan and which team do you support?” …asks reader Sarah Symons from Aberdeen

every job in the book – I was an estate agent for a while. I’ve done all sorts of different things. I’m a jack of all trades, and hopefully a master at one.

“What would people be surprised to know about you?” Actually, someone was talking about Robert Pattinson coming to Liverpool to film his Batman movie. What people may not know is that Robert owes his career to me! We were once both at a film audition, and it was down to the two of us. He was very nervous, so I chilled him out, gave him a bit of confidence and he got the part! Then I realised what I’d done, and that I’d screwed myself over. But the rest is history y–y you’re welcome,, Robert!

£20 Question

I’m a Tottenham Hotspur supporter, and long-suffering! Most people at Hollyoaks support Liverpool – and now my son is a Liverpool fan, so I have to go along with it. We saw Liverpool vs Sheffield United recently, which was his first time at Anfield. And we went to the Everton vs Tottenham game – we sat with the away fans, and at least I got him into a Spurs shirt that day!

SHAKESPEARE & HATHAWAY: PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS | BBC1 WEEKDAYS

COUNTRY PURSUIT MARK BENTON TELLS US HOW HE HAD A HAND IN RECRUITING THE MYSTERY DRAMA’S LATEST GUEST STAR…

E

ver since it burst on to our screens two years ago, we’ve had our suspicions that being on Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators is a bit of a dream job for an actor. Look at it this way: the scripts are fun; the mysteries are compelling; you get to film in the beautiful Warwickshire

Enemy lines: Vic Reeves has a role as Frank’s old adversary

countryside; and you get to work with Mark Benton and Jo Joyner, both of whom we know to be a hoot. Turns out, we were right on the money, because when Inside TV gets on the blower to talk to Mark about series three, he reveals that he’s already had some well-known pals asking to be in it… “The first episode features Vic Reeves, who’s a good friend of mine and who loves the show,” says Mark. “He sort of mentioned to me, ‘Oh, I’d love to be in it’, so he’s there and he does a brilliant performance. He plays an old arch-enemy of mine who comes back, and Frank thinks he’s the murderer and would do anything to catch him! It’s a great episode, set in a big, old-style bingo hall. I was really tempted to stop and

have a game afterwards – well, some of the crew did!”

SEEING STARS Vic’s not the only famous face we can expect to see popping up in a guest role in the latest 10-episode run, either, as Mark confirms there are more stars set to make an appearance. “We’ve got Don Gilet and Tamzin Outhwaite,” shares the actor. “It always shocks us how many great guests we get into the series. I think we do our best to keep the quality of the show to a certain standard, so hopefully that’s what attracts them.” While Mark is indeed keen to make sure the show is as good as it can possibly be, he also readily admits that he and Jo Joyner, who plays his crime-solving partner Luella Shakespeare, do have

a tendency to get the giggles when they’re filming. “We’re both terrible chucklers, and I’m always trying to make Jo laugh!” confesses the star. “I succeed quite a lot, actually! But I think as long as we’re having fun, then that bleeds into the show, and I think that’s k that s what people really lattch on to.”

BEAUTY SPOT S And if one of the e highlights for you in the sh how is seeing the stunning lan ndscapes of Stratford-upon-Avon and its surroundings, you’re definitely in for a treat this s time around. Just spare a tho ought for Mark and Jo and the other cast members, thoug gh, doing their best not to look k too chilly… “We tend to start s filming in September and finish in December,” Mark points out. “Our coats and jumpers get gra adually thicker through the show!

Actor Riley Jones tells us all about his dream viewing… I’ve been watching White House Farm, which I think is brilliant. Although it’s a famous case, I don’t really know much about it. I love crime dramas anyway, but when they’re based on a true event – and something as horrific as that – it’s interesting to see how it all unfolds. I’m desperate to read up on it a bit more, but I want it to remain a mystery to me until the series finishes!

It’s one of those where you watch the first episode and think, “I can see where the plot’s going” – then they drop a massive bombshell. It really did pull the rug out ou from under me!

The flipside is that sometimes we end up in an old carpet warehouse or a car park – so it’s swings and roundabouts!”

The most affecting film I’ve seen recently is Ken Loach’s Sorry We Missed You. I’d been to see it by myself, and when I came out I was like, “I need to talk about it!” There was

Meanwhile, British policeman Frank Temple (Bertie Carvel) is tasked with rebuilding the Iraqi Police Service, and he wants Khafaji to help him… Waleed, what was the draw of this series for you? Waleed I didn’t want to do the audition – I’d not long lost my father, so I was feeling really down, but my agent had been tracking it for a couple of years and said, “It feels like it’s been written for you.” I didn’t want to play another accented Arab on Western television, but when I did the self-tape audition and

spoke the words, I had a feeling that this character and project were special. The writing is so rich and character-driven. Bertie, how has Temple ended up in Iraq? Bertie In my head, Temple has worked in the public sector for a long time, and he sees an opportunity for power and influence – and maybe to do

some good. But because you’ve got this military occupation, one realises how thin civilisation is. In extreme circumstances, people can start to behave in a slightly medieval way.

And we ask, why do we like looking at each other without our clothes on?” The answer is more complex than you might assume: for starters, our values have changed through history… “If you go back to the Greeks and the Romans, they had no

I think it’s interesting in 21st-century culture that we’re worked up about seeing male genitalia on telly, yet we’re more laid-back about females’.” While Mary chuckles that she suspects people might expect her to “wag my finger and tell you it’s wicked to enjoy the nude”, she insists that’s not what it’s about. “I’d just like viewers to look at nudes differently,” she reflects. “What we’re trying to do is say, sometimes be a bit more surprised by them than you usually are.”

As series two begins, however, it’s 182 days later and Sami is still waiting for an answer… “When I was doing the research, you realise it’s not an overnight ‘yes’ or ‘no’ with most refugees,” reveals Rufus Jones, who writes the show and plays Peter. “They have to wait, and it becomes a sort of psychological

test, which breaks a lot of people. So what we find is Sami not being that happy.” “Because his case takes over six months, the cracks in the system grow wider,” adds Youssef Kerkour, who plays Sami. “There aren’t many places to put people up, so he ends up staying in a surprising place.” Sami’s frustration at being kept in limbo boils over in the opening episode, and it’s Peter who comes to the rescue. But Sami isn’t the only one who’ll be put through the wringer… “We remain focused on Sami,” explains Rufus, “but it’s fair to say we all have greater battles to fight this time…” lnsideSoap 63

Popcorn prizes D Devoted d cinephiles i hil that we are here at Inside TV, this is a very busy time of year for us because it’s usually when all of the big awards contenders hit the multiplexes (then again, we’re still baffled as to how there are films nominated tonight that

aren’t even out yet in this country). Needless to say, we have very strong opinions about what we want to happen tonight, like how Little Women should win everything. Including Best Director for Greta Gerwig, even though she’s not actually

nominated, because she should have been. Ahem. Anyway, Graham Norton is on hosting duties this year, and Joker is currently the leader of the pack with 11 nominations – but will it be a big winner on the night?

Ave Maria CALL THE MIDWIFE | BBC1 8PM How do you solve a problem like Sister Monica Joan? She’s vexed this week because The Sound Of Music is playing at the local cinema and she yearns to see it, but her request for a group outing is swiftly dismissed by Sister Julienne, who views the film as “both frivolous and inappropriate”. In non-cinematic news, Samantha Spiro has a guest-starring role tonight as Grace Calthorpe, who’s caring for both her sick husband Albert and her ailing mother – but the multiple demands on her time are making it impossible for her to keep the appointments she’s been making with Dr Turner about her own health concerns.

Kicking off S Steve Pemberton P b and Ralf Little must have some sort of TV-crossover deal going on this week, as not only does the latter crop up in this new series of No 9, but also starts a stint in Death In Paradise this week (more on Thursday) in an episode

that guest-stars Mr Pemberton. Pass the paracetamol, please. Anyway, back to tonight, and Ralf joins Dipo Ola, Steve Speirs and David Morrissey in this footie-centred episode. As Steve explains, “The referees’ changing room is a space most

of us don’t think about often, but it struck us as an interesting idea to set an episode there.” And lo, a clash between United and Rovers in the last match of the season is safely in the care of the four match officials. Well, maybe not that safely…

Credit where it’s due The goverment’s stated aim with Universal Credit was to simplify the benefits system and provide more incentive to get unemployed people back into work – but since it was introduced in 2010, it has attracted a lot of criticism, with

many claimaints finding the system impenetrable and running up debts while they wait to receive their money. This new three-part series shows us what’s going on behind the scenes at the Department for Work and

Pensions, starting at ground level in Peckham JobCentre. Among those sharing their stories in tonight’s episode is Karen, one of the longestserving members of staff there, who has to work a second job to make ends meet.

Tenants’ extra MIDSOMER MURDERS | ITV 8PM If we lived in Midsomer County, we wouldn’t turn up to a public event without a bulletproof vest and a hazmat suit, but clearly some people won’t be told, and in tonight’s episode property mogul Alexander Beauvoisin is fatally shot during a presentation at a local museum. Beauvoisin turns out not to have been all that popular with local residents, due to his position as a landlord with a known track record of letting his rental properties fall into disrepair and endangering the inhabitants.

Going for gold Martin Roberts would be all over this property makeover show, in which a £65-million refurbishment of 50,000 square foot of living space in Mayfair (where else?) is taking place. It belongs to philanthropist John Caudwell, who sold Phones 4u

in 2006 for close to £1.5 billion, and who’s aiming to create one of Britain’s most lavish homes. The build is running behind schedule and over budget (er, are we meant to feel bad?), and among the unique engineering tasks to finish is a dining room

with a river of live fish. As the last of the 20,000 sheets of gold leaf go on the walls (pffft), can the design teams pull off this epic transformation before John’s birthday in just a few weeks’ time? Homes Under The Hammer this ain’t.

In this penultimate show, Taff still remains unconvinced of Bamber’s guilt, despite the testimony of a vital witness confirming a number of Stan and Mick’s suspicions. And so the police are forced to question what they thought they knew – and to pursue the case against Jeremy… BBC1 N IRELAND as Main BBC1 except: 10.35pm Nolan Live 11.35 Eating With My Ex 12.05am My Mate’s A Bad Date 12.30 First & Last 1.15 A Question Of Sport 1.45-6.00 BBC News BBC1 SCOTLAND as Main BBC1 except: 12.45am The Edit 1.00 Weather For The Week Ahead 1.05-6.00 BBC News BBC1 WALES as Main BBC1 except: 10.30pm BBC Wales Live 11.00 Weather 11.05 Eating With My Ex 11.35 My Mate’s A Bad Date 12.00-12.45am First & Last BBC2 N IRELAND as Main BBC2 except: 10.00-10.30pm The Search WALES as Main ITV except: 6.00-6.25pm ITV News Wales At Six 11.40-12.30 Inside The Crown: Secrets Of The Royals SCOTTISH as Main ITV except: 10.40pm Scotland Tonight 11.05 Peston 12.05am The Home Game 1.00-5.05 Nightscreen

Pisa the action W ’ sure there We’re h are people out there who have criticised this series for being a bit lightweight, but we don’t care. All we know is that watching Jane and her showbiz pals checking out some lovely-looking holiday hotspots is our absolute

favourite way to wind down at the end of a busy week. Sadly for us, tonight’s episode is the last in the current run, so we’ll need to work on new relaxation techniques before next Friday. Tonight, Jane enjoys a bit of a staycation as she heads to

York and checks into the city’s five-star Grand hotel, while James and Ola Jordan head off for their last baby-free holiday for a while at an adults-only resort in Crete. Finally, Johnny Ball takes a solos holiday to Italy to see Pisa and Siena…

Fore play KING GARY | BBC1 9.30PM In honour of Big Gary’s birthday, Gary has arranged for the whole family to have a day out at an indoor mini golf course – one that he claims not to have been to before, but he’s suspiciously well known by the man on the front desk. Whether Gary’s been visiting on the sly to give himself a better chance of besting his dad during their head-to-head game, we couldn’t possibly say – but the tension between them certainly isn’t helped by Winkle inviting himself along against Gary’s wishes. Meanwhile, Terri decides to sit out the golf while she ruminates on an ethical dilemma, and Denise is just enjoying the side plates.

KEMPING IT UP! Ex-Walford star Martin Kemp (Steve Owen) is joining forces with his brother Gary for a new BBC mockumentary. The pair, who were members of 1980s new romantics Spandau Ballet, will be discussing their plans to record a new album in the spoof doc. “I’m really happy to be getting back in the limelight,” grins Martin, “and being known for being that one from Spandau Ballet who hit someone over the head with an ashtray in EastEnders.”

“DON’T CALL ME ‘LES’!” It’s been over a decade since he played Les Battersby in Corrie, and actor Bruce Jones is sick of being known as his former alter ego. “Les’ name will never go,” he told the Daily Star. “I sometimes say, ‘My name’s not Les, it’s Bruce’, especially when it is someone shouting it across the room. It really does get on my nerves. My name is not Les.” Sorry about that, Les!

IS PAUL TRUEMAN STIILL ALIVE?

EMMERDALE

More than 15 years after Patrick’s son Paul was brutally murdered in EastEnders, his alter ego Gary Beadle has been considering if there’s any wiggle room for a return. “All the hardcore fans say [we never saw it on screen n] – including my mother!” he chuckles. “You can never say never, but as far as I’m concerned he’s a goner. But if the BBC said, ‘Listen, we want to do something’, you cross those bridges when you come to them.” As we witnessed Patrick identifying Paul’s dead body back in 2005, it would certainly require a pretty big bridge!

WHAT T’S S HIT THE BULLSEYE RECENTLY – AND WHAT’S FALLEN WIDE OF THE MARK? M

We like that Fiz and Tyrone hav v ve taken the precaution of wiring g Hope’s bed up to the mains.

“It’s just like Jurassic Park!” gushed April about Hawksford Outdoor Pursuits Centre. Oh, yes. Identical in every way. If there’s now a vacancy in the royal family, we nominate Sharon. Bow down, Britain! Bow before your new Queen!

EastEnders’ ‘Mr Honey Roast’ would deserve a storyline if it wasn’t for his – wait for it – hammy acting.

PHOTOS: GETTY

We really felt for putupon Corrie extra Dom, who has been hastily promoted to Bistro chef in the event of Robert’s untimely death. Poor guy looks like he’d rather stick his head in the oven.. Thank mercy for the fleeting joy that was ‘Vanity’ thi this week!

You know how and L Linda aren’t all wed to cheat each her co it’s The s? But could her holism the t ng that ves im the green ight for me hing a bit icy – finally? Th e is only so uch more his sad litt e face we n take.

In one shared befuddled moment, viewers squinted at their tellies as Graham’s murderer was revealed and went, “Is that… Pierce? Oh! Riiiight.” Emmerdale has never lost its ability to shock – and what an outrageous twist! Though, perhaps not as ou outrageous as Graham repeatedly sitting up like the Terminator, even after being bashed over the head 47 times. Are we ab absolutely y sure he’s dead? dead

Linda’s ‘Keanu’s not really dead’ face while scoffing chips was worth every penny of our licence fee. Classic!

We’ll never tire of a Sian Reeves casting in any soap. And is it too much to ask that she goes full-on Emmerdale’s Sally Spode on Tim and Sally??

We’re never going to forget Rishi wrestling a pizza box from his own son like some sort of animal – and that’s before he realised it contained drugs.

W ’d love it if S ua t and Rainie started We’d bumping people off because they truly believed it was in the best interests of Coker & Mitchell. But in a funny way, not the usual Walford murder-y way.
