HBO’s ‘Gunpowder’ chronicles historical events behind UK’s annual Bonfire Night Actor Kit Harington has earned global fame with his role as Jon Snow in HBO’s epic fantasy “Game of Thrones,” but he turned to a grim and very real chapter out of British history for “Gunpowder,” a three-part historical thriller premiering Monday-Wednesday, Dec. 18-20, on the premium service. The drama recounts the events surrounding an unsuccessful plot by Catholic rebels to murder the Protestant King James I of England by blowing up the House of Lords at the opening of Parliament on Nov. 5, 1605. To the extent that Americans know of the episode, they may associate it chiefly with conspirator Guy Fawkes (Tom Cullen), but the real ringleader of the conspiracy was Robert Catesby, an ancestor of Harington, who plays him in the miniseries. It was about three years ago that Harington first broached the topic of dramatizing Catesby’s story with his best friend Daniel West, a producing partner and one of Harington’s co-stars in “Gunpowder.” “Every schoolkid in England knows the rhyme about ‘Remember, remember the fifth of November,’ and they

probably know a little something about the Gunpowder Plot but not really the whole picture,” Harington says. “As far as I knew, no one had ever really explored it. “We wanted to do this, not to school people exactly, but we thought maybe that period of history is in danger of becoming lost in time. We thought it would be worthwhile to really dig into the story and remember what the fifth of November is actually commemorating.” In addition to the charismatic Cullen, joining Harington in the strong cast are Scots actor Peter Mullan (“Top of the Lake,” “Trainspotting”) as the Jesuit leader Father Henry Garnet, Mark Gatiss (“Sherlock”) as Robert Cecil, the king’s ruthless spymaster, and Liv Tyler as Anne Vaux, Catesby’s cousin. When this miniseries aired in Great Britain earlier this fall, the BBC received some viewer complaints about the level of graphic violence shown, particularly in the first night’s depiction of the torture of (fictional) Lady Dorothy Dibdale (Sian Webber). Harington readily concedes that some scenes are hard to watch, but the violence isn’t gratuitous, he says.

BY JOHN CROOK

Kit Harington, Liv Tyler and Sian Webber star in “Gunpowder,” a three-night miniseries premiering Monday on HBO.

“We felt the violence was essential in it, and in the very first meeting we had with the BBC, we asked, ‘How far we can we go?’ ” he explains. “It was really important to us to see right from the top why these men decide to do what they do. If we can’t understand why they decide to commit this very violent act, we’re never going to follow them through the story. “Also, we really wanted to be as historically accurate as possible. It was a really horrible, really gruesome time when these events were happening. Nothing that we depict in the show did not happen in real life, to these people. So for both historical accuracy and for

“Collateral Beauty”

“Concussion”

“Collateral Beauty” (2016) The universe literally answers a man (Smith) who questions the meaning of life after suffering an enormous personal loss in this challenging, underrated drama. “Concussion” (2015) Smith did very solid work as Dr. Bennet Omalu, the real-life pathologist whose research into brain damage related to concussions suffered by some pro football players initially met with resistance. “Focus” (2015) Two con artists (Smith, Margot Robbie) have a complicated relationship in both personal and professional terms in this crime saga cleverly staged by writer-directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (“This Is Us”). “Seven Pounds” (2008) Smith had to play a lot close to the chest, and did it well, in this drama about a man who truly changes the lives of several strangers. “Hancock” (2008) In this knowing satire, a superhero (Smith) whose destructive mishaps have changed the public’s view of him gets an attempted image makeover from one of the people he rescues (Jason Bateman).

“I Am Legend” (2007) Meeting a big challenge for any actor – essentially holding the screen by himself for a while – Smith did an effective job with the last-manon-Earth premise, also told in a couple of earlier screen versions of the Richard Matheson story. “The Pursuit of Happyness” (2006) Smith was rewarded with an Oscar nomination for being extremely vulnerable, and for teaming with real-life son Jaden, in the true tale of a single father and aspiring stockbroker. “I, Robot” (2004) A mix of sci-fi and satire, which usually serves Smith well, worked for him in Isaac Asimov’s tale of a detective trying to determine whether a robot is a killer. Notable as Smith’s main ally is Bridget Moynahan (“Blue Bloods”). “Ali” (2001) Smith transformed himself impressively in director Michael Mann’s biography of boxing legend Muhammad Ali. “The Legend of Bagger Vance” (2000) Widely considered one of the best movies about golf, director Robert Redford’s drama cast Smith as a caddy who helps a

storytelling, we needed to show how violent these things were.” Handsomely produced, “Gunpowder” unfolds at a fairly deliberate pace and is hampered to some extent by the historical reality that what normally would be the story’s climax – the violent destruction of Parliament – doesn’t happen, since the plot was discovered and the conspirators apprehended before they could carry out their scheme. Still, the miniseries boasts a rich gallery of fine performances and illuminates a chapter in British history that will be largely unknown to most of its American audience. BY JAY BOBBIN

war veteran (Matt Damon) with much more than his game on the links. “Enemy of the State” (1998) An attorney goes on the run from those who want evidence of a political murder – which he doesn’t know he has – in this typically slick action tale from late director Tony Scott. “Men in Black” (1997) In tandem with Tommy Lee Jones, Smith enjoyably defended Earth from aliens in this popular sci-fi comedy. “Independence Day” (1996) “Welcome to Earth!” That line, delivered to an alien along with a punch, cemented Smith’s success in this genre. “Bad Boys” (1995) Smith and Martin Lawrence proved a durable action-comedy team as amusing but efficient Miami police detectives. “Six Degrees of Separation” (1993) Smith started to prove his dramatic chops as a possible impostor who approaches a privileged couple in this adaptation of John Guare’s play.

TEN DAYS IN THE VALLEY 9 p.m. on 22, 6

As this drama series resumes, Jane’s (Kyra Sedgwick) personal crisis may lead her to make some professional changes in the new episode “Day 5: Back to Ones.” If it means recovering Lake (Abigail Pniowsky), she’s ready to alter the finale of her show-withinthe-show. Tom (Josh Randall) may use an unwitting Pete (Kick Gurry) as the subject of a potentially careerchanging story. Emily Kinney and Currie Graham continue their guest roles. Another episode follows. (N) h Å (DVS)

DIRK GENTLY’S HOLISTIC DETECTIVE AGENCY 9 p.m. on BBCA

In the Season 2 finale, “Nice Jacket,” Dirk (Samuel Barnett) risks his freedom in order to fulfill the prophecy and restore order by returning to the corridors of Blackwing, where all the insanity began. Meanwhile, siblings Todd and Amanda Brotzman (Elijah Wood, Hannah Marks) find themselves in a terrifying confrontation with the villainous (and certifiably nuts) Suzie Boreton (Amanda Walsh). (Season Finale) (N) Å

WELCOME TO SWEETIE PIE’S 9 p.m. on OWN

Miss Robbie continues juggling business with pleasure as she entertains her hometown fans with a warmly received concert in the new episode “Got My Mojo Workin’.” Meanwhile, Monique finally takes a deep breath and commits to making the big move to Houston, to assist Tim at his restaurant. Almost immediately, though, she realizes she is in way over her head, as Chloe lays down the law with their chaotic, unruly staff. (N)

Prado gives up law for baking and ‘Baked in Vermont’

Gesine Prado

Imagine giving up a successful law career and running a production company to become a full-time baker. You’d have to be pretty passionate about all things related to butter, flour and eggs to make a change so drastic. But that’s exactly what Gesine Prado, host of the Saturday Food Network series “Baked in Vermont,” did to pursue what she gradually realized was her first love. And she hasn’t looked back. “I’ve baked my entire life. There was not a moment that I didn’t bake,” Prado explains. “Like during college, during winter finals, I was making gingerbread houses instead of studying, and instead of studying for the bar, I baked. And I actually passed on the first go and I tried to convince people that baking was the key. ... And all those things should have been clues from the very beginning that my calling was, you know, everything other than what I was

What book are you currently reading? “I am reading a book by a writer named Attica Locke called ‘Bluebird, Bluebird.’ And I’ve known her personally for years. I discovered her when I was in my other life running an entertainment company reading stuff, and I read her books and scripts and it’s one of the few times that I was like shot out of my job and was just reading for joy.”

doing – it was the baking that was my calling.” In each 30-minute episode of her midday series, Prado walks viewers through the various steps in preparing the

What did you have for dinner last night? “We did a sous-vide wild salmon and ... a faro and micro-green salad and a vinaigrette.”

recipes that she herself developed, be it a Charlotte Royale chocolate cake with homemade caramels, a chocolate yule log, a turkey pot pie or a hearty pork pie with a big green salad. All episodes are filmed at her 18th century farmhouse in Hartford, Vt., which is attached to the cooking school she runs, Sugar Glider Kitchen. The sister of actress Sandra Bullock, she’s also an instructor for King Arthur Flour and Stonewall Kitchen, has written four baking cookbooks and a memoir and owned and operated a bakery in Montpelier, Vt.

What is your next project? “I am working on a book on cakes – surprise, surprise. It’s about fantastical cakes using my knowledge as a pastry chef to kind of guide bakers of all knowledge or no knowledge in making fantastic or gorgeous cakes.” When was your last vacation, where and why? “It wasn’t a long one but it was for my husband’s 50th birthday in September and we went to Quebec to Manoir Hovey ... . It’s on Lake Massawippi – and I just like saying ‘Lake Massawippi’ – and it’s a fantastic food destination. So it’s this old bit of a manse right on the lake and then they do fantastic meals. So we just sat and ate for days. ... It was fantastic.”

A CHRISTMAS STORY LIVE! 7 p.m. on 28

They won Oscars for their work on “La La Land” and Tonys for their score to Broadway’s “Dear Evan Hansen.” Now, the red-hot song-writing team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul bring their stage musical adaptation of a favorite holiday movie to live TV. Seattle newcomer Andy Walken stars as Ralphie, with Maya Rudolph and Chris Diamantopoulos as his mom and dad. Jane Krakowski also stars as schoolteacher Miss Shields. Matthew Broderick narrates.

LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX 8 p.m. on 9

The endearing British family drama about love in the twilight years returns with a new two-part “Holiday Special” that concludes next Sunday. As the action resumes, Caroline (Sarah Lancashire) has accepted a new headship position that requires moving her family to a somewhat ramshackle farmhouse with Christmas fast approaching. Elsewhere, Alan (Derek Jacobi) has a difficult conversation with daughter Gillian (Nicola Walker), who is firmly convinced that her late husband Eddie is haunting her. (N)

CHRISTMAS CONNECTION 8 p.m. on HALL

Sydney (Brooke Burns), a flight attendant, plans to spend Christmas in Bali, but she puts those plans on hold long enough to help an unaccompanied minor make it safely to Chicago, home of the girl’s father (Tom Everett Scott), a widowed investigative reporter. Unfortunately, Sydney can’t find any Bali-bound flights from the Windy City, so she reluctantly agrees to spend those days with her new friends. Romance eventually takes its course in this new holiday-themed TV movie. (Premiere) Å

BY JAY BOBBIN

‘Hawaii Five-0’ has been through some changes

Kyra Sedgwick

OF “TEN DAYS IN THE VALLEY” ON ABC meetings and he was getting pulled in a million different directions, and I knew he was always behind the eight ball, always struggling to catch up. It’s overwhelming, and I feel like I know what feeding the beast of a television series is. What drew you to “Ten Days” in the first place?

It’s got a lot of deep, complicated, confusing characters who surprise you. I think you have to have a certain level of excellence in TV now, because everyone is so savvy. Audiences “get” things, and you don’t have to repeat things. I’m really happy with the way it turned out, and happy that I was able to work with a female writer-creator (Tassie Cameron) and all the women at (production company) Skydance. If I’m going to talk about how hard it is for women to get work in this business behind the camera, I have to start walking the walk and actually make the choice to work with them.

12

What was more of a busman’s holiday for me, honestly, was that I wasn’t in every scene (of “Ten Days”). I loved being in every scene of “The Closer,” having that sort of weight and import, but there’s something great about being in a group of actors and letting them do their thing, too. That gave me room to breathe.

A: Though it wasn’t specified why Michelle Borth left the role of Catherine Rollins after the fourth season, it worked for plot purposes, given the impact of that on the character’s relationship with Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin). Borth has returned to the CBS reboot as a guest star several times. At the time he left the role of Dr. Max Michelle Borth and Bergman, Masi Oka explained that Daniel Dae Kim he felt he’d taken the character as far as he could, and also that he had family considerations back home in Los Angeles (the series is filmed on location, of course, which meant big work commutes for him). Both Oka and Max were given a big sendoff in an episode last winter. And the departures of Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park from “Five0” received much press attention earlier this year. Kim has other television duties now as an executive producer of the ABC hit “The Good Doctor,” but he and Park left the show over a contract dispute, seeking pay parity with O’Loughlin and Scott Caan while attempting to renegotiate their deals after seven seasons. In an extensive Facebook post at the time, Kim expressed gratitude to his “Five-0” colleagues and to the show’s fans, noting that “The path to equality is rarely easy.” Q: Someone told me Stefanie Powers wasn’t the only actress to play “The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.,” though she’s the only one I remember. Is that true? – Doug Curtis, Stuart, Fla. A: In the episode of “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” that introduced the spinoff, April Dancer was played by Mary Ann Mobley (who was 1959’s Miss America). When “Girl” went to series, Powers was given the role. Similarly, April’s sleuthing partner Mark Slate was recast; played by Norman Fell opposite Mobley, he was portrayed by Noel Harrison in the series.

Glenn Close as Captain Monica Rawling

Beyond Basic TV

1) Before playing a high-powered attorney in “Damages,” Glenn Close made her TV series debut in 2005 as police Capt. Monica Rawling on what hit cable cop drama? 2) What Academy Award-winning actress starred as Supreme Court Justice Kate Nolan in the short-lived 2002 ABC drama series “The Court”? 3) What future “Elementary” cast member played a sharklike prosecutor who went after Letitia Darling (Jill Clayburgh) on “Dirty Sexy Money”? 4) What current cast member of Amazon’s “Transparent” had a recurring role as Judge Elizabeth Donnelly on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”?

Answers:

No, I didn’t. (Creator and executive producer) James Duff and I were really close when we were doing “The Closer,” and I knew what it was like to be him. I’d catch him between

You also made your directing debut this year on the Lifetime movie “Story of a Girl.” Was it a challenge for you to go back to acting after that?

Q: Why have so many regulars left “Hawaii Five-0”? – Kathy Iffy, Youngstown, Ohio

1) “The Shield” 2) Sally Field 3) Lucy Liu 4) Judith Light

As its story begins to wind up, you’ve been an executive producer as well as the star of “Ten Days in the Valley.” Had you expected to have that behind-the-scenes role as well?

CANADIAN STAND-UP PETERS TAKES IT TO MUMBAI IN NETFLIX’S ‘THE INDIAN DETECTIVE’ William Shatner is acting royalty in Canada, the type of icon often mentioned in the same breath with Celine Dion, Wayne Gretzky and James Cameron as being among the country’s most important cultural exports to America. So when it came time to act in a scene with the “Star Trek” legend in the Netflix fish-out-of-water dramedy “The Indian Detective,” Toronto-born and -raised comic Russell Peters was understandably verklempt. “I was so geeked to be working with him,” Peters admits. “... And I got caught up when I first saw him on set. We were doing a scene together and he’s saying his lines and I’m just staring at him like a fan, and he’s waiting for me to reply with my lines. And I’m like, ‘Oh s...! Sorry, we’re acting. Let me get back to that.’ He was really cool and the guy’s a pro.” Filmed in Toronto, South Africa and Mumbai, produced in Canada and dropping Tuesday, Dec. 19, the four-episode limited series features Peters (“Source Code,” “Life in Pieces”) in his first scripted-series starring role as Toronto cop Doug D’Mello, who heads to Mumbai to take care of his father, Stanley (Bollywood star Anupam Kher, “Silver Linings Playbook”), after an apparent heart attack.

Except it wasn’t a heart attack, just bad gas. But while there, Doug gets caught up in a murder case that leads him to uncover a dangerous conspiracy involving a shady real estate developer named David Marlowe (Shatner). As he investigates the case and deals with his ambivalence toward a country where, despite his heritage, he feels like an outsider, he catches the eye of a pretty public defender, Priya Sehgal (South African model/actress Mishqah Parthiephal), who suddenly finds herself questioning her life path. “Doug D’Mello is a cop who’s ... got good instincts and he’s got a good heart but he sometimes makes bad calls and poor decisions,” Peters explains. “And ultimately he gets in trouble and has to pay the price for it by getting suspended for a month. “And while he’s suspended – and demoted, by the way,” he continues, “he goes to visit his father in India since he’s got the time off anyway. And while he’s there, he meets a very attractive lady who is a public defender and asks him to help her with a case that she’s working on. And I solve the case and upset the local corrupt cops. And the hilarity and drama ensue.”

OF “MAN V. FOOD” ON TRAVEL CHANNEL

Do you have to go into training for the challenges you undertake on “Man v. Food”?

I try to keep in shape. I eat well off the road because our hours are different. You know, it can be challenging, not only the challenges themselves but everything that comes with visiting and traveling city to city. I mean, it’s definitely high intensity. Like today is day one and we just flew in, so the next three days are filming; I’ll be at the gym preparing myself for (the upcoming)

Beyond Basic TV

challenge, which is Friday. So it has an ebb and flow to it. But when I’m off the road, I’m not really thinking about it because I’m not doing it, so when I’m in it, I’m really in it. It’s almost like preparing for any sport. I look at it like a professional athlete. I played team sports my whole life and that mind-set gets me into the game and gets me prepared to meet people who have spent time in kitchens and then obviously the challenge, which is a big part of the show.
