The BBC's Dickens |
|
|
Heading towards a cocktail bar in Clifton, Bristol, is a minicab carrying four pretty young women, all big hair, bottle-tanned flesh and anticipation, set for their big night of the week. Meet Stef and her mates Jade, Tasha and Hannah. “We’re out till our false eyelashes fall off,” says Stef. A debate on the various merits of the Girls Aloud Eylure lash range ensues. “Are yours Cheryl Cole ones, too?” “No, they’re Sarah Harding’s, they’re more natural-looking.” “My sister works in Superdrug and she says nobody buys the Nicola ones.” These girls escape their lives by dressing like super-model showgirls. You may not like their look, but you can’t deny the effort. The four love fake eyelashes but they dislike buying coats. “I hate spending money on coats.” “Me too.” “And umbrellas.” “Me and Jade went out last week and got our hair wet, so we just went home.” Go into a branch of All Saints on a Saturday, and watch girls buying accessories and dresses. On one Saturday in Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield, they apparently sold ￡8,000 worth of one kind of studded belt, but barely anybody bought a jacket. There’s a type who will regularly drop ￡250 on a dress. She buys a suit, coat or jacket only on pain of death (and we’re clearly not talking death from the cold, because, as any visitor to a British town centre on a Saturday night knows, coats, even in midwinter, really mess with your look). The BBC's Dickens adaptation "Little Dorrit," co-produced with PBS's Boston affiliate WGBH, won for best miniseries as well as for cinematography, art direction and costumes. Ireland was well represented as Irish actress Dearblha Walsh won for directing "Little Dorrit" and Irish actor Brendan Gleeson won for playing Winston Churchill in the HBO miniseries "Into the Storm." Glenn Close's performance as a ruthless trial attorney on "Damages" and Bryan Cranston's turn as a meth-making, cancer-stricken teacher on "Breaking Bad" were honored with the top drama series acting Emmys, the second consecutive trophies for both. The first basic cable show to win a top series honor, "Mad Men" had the chance for a second consecutive best-drama trophy. Potential trailblazer "Family Guy" was the first animated series to vie for the best comedy award since a 1961 bid by "The Flintstones." The Fox show was up against last year's winner, actress-writer Fey's "30 Rock," trying for its third consecutive award in the category. The TV academy, meanwhile, hoped to avoid an unwanted rerun at the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards: paltry viewership. The 2008 ceremony was the least-watched ever with an audience of 12.3 million. Acclaimed but low-rated series like AMC's retro 1960s show "Mad Men" are seen as one reason viewers bypassed the awards, so major categories were expanded to increase the odds for more popular fare. There were as many as seven nominees per category, compared with the traditional five. Rising network star Jim Parsons of CBS'Wow! "The Big Bang Theory" made the cut for best comedy series actor, but niche premium cable shows including HBO's "Flight of the Conchords" and Showtime's "Weeds" grabbed a hefty share of nods. TV's most-watched comedy, CBS' "Two and a Half Men," failed to score a best series bid, although stars Charlie Sheen and Cryer did. Harris and Emmy executive producer Don Mischer promised to keep the scheduled three-hour ceremony snappy, yyqq0923 but they had less room to maneuver than planned. A TV academy proposal to pre-tape some acceptancesand show them in a truncated version - gaining time for something more entertaining than speeches - was quashed by industry opposition.
