Anne-Marie Duff is to lead the cast of new BBC psychological crime drama From Darkness.
The drama is the first original commission from writer Katie Baxendale, who has written for Sugar Rush and The Paradise, and originates from the BBC writersroom.
Duff, who is known for her roles in dramas including Shameless and The Virgin Queen, will play Claire Church, an ex-police officer who left the Greater Manchester Police after the violence involved became too overwhelming for her.
After feeling ignored in the office and her relationship with her married Di, Claire found solace in the remote Western Isles with her new man Norrie and daughter Megan.
However when four bodies from Claire's past investigations are unearthed, she finds herself back in a world she thought she had left behind and faced with a case that only she can solve.

BBC One controller Charlotte Moore has revealed details of a number of new programmes heading to the channel.
Speaking at the Edinburgh Television Festival, Moore revealed that she had commissioned several shows to broaden BBC One's drama, factual and documentary offerings.
The first of these, The Living And The Dead, is a new six-part fantasy drama from the creators of Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes. It begins shooting next year and, according to Moore, is "steeped in real history and mythology that will scare the audience and awaken the dead".
Set in Somerset in 1888, the hour-long episodes will follow the story of Nathan Appleby, a farmer who has made it his mission to prove the existence of an afterlife. Described by the creators as a "complex and compelling man", Appleby will experience paranormal activity - encouraged by the Society for Psychical Research - until his obsession begins...

Review by Wyatt Weed, Pirate Pictures
Once again, the St. Louis International Film Festival is fast approaching. Primarily sponsored by Stella Artois and now in its 20th year, the fest has really established itself as one of the best around. It will hit multiple venues around the city beginning November 10th and continue through November 20th.
This is a call, a challenge to the local filmmakers out there: Get up, put on your shoes, and go see some of these films. You owe it to your fellow filmmakers and yourself as well, because the work is amazing.
As one of the volunteers involved in assembling the shorts programs, I have to tell you, the shorts I have seen thus far are nothing less than spectacular. This past summer’s Showcase of local talent featured some of the most technically proficient pieces I have ever seen, and this years’ Sliff is...
