Sarah Lancashire and Steve Pemberton are to star in a new BBC One crime thriller.
Happy Valley is written by Last Tango in Halifax's Sally Wainwright, and a six-part series will air in 2014.

Gone are the days where you could send a letter to Peter Darvill-Evans and write a New Adventure. Big Finish will occasionally hold a writing competition, but for most of the time your examination of what it truly means to be an Ogri will be returned unopened.

The positives of this outweigh the negatives.

Abi Morgan's The Hour concluded with more than 1.7m on Tuesday evening, while Channel 4's Seven Dwarves stayed popular, overnight audience data has revealed. The Dominic West-starring drama appealed to 1.58m (6.8%) on BBC Two from 9pm and 107k (0.5%) on the BBC HD channel, down by around 800k on the series premiere last month.

After announcing that she’ll be writing, producing, and making her feature-film directing debut on a Bosnian War-set love story in the near future, she’s also boarded the revenge thriller “Unforgiven” for producer Graham King and his Gk Films. Based on the 2009 British mini-series of the same name starring Suranne Jones in the lead, the King remake of “Unforgiven” would find Jolie playing a woman recently released from prison after a 15-year stint for the murder of two policemen who had tried to evict her from her farmhouse. Now a free woman and hoping to start over with her troubled younger sister, Jolie’s character finds redemption harder than expected when one of her victim’s two sons set their sights on making her pay even further for her crimes.
