directorsnotes.com Premiere: Tusky by Steven Boyle // Drama // Directors Notes Steven Boyle takes us inside crafting a candlelit portrait of dementia that is both unflinching and strangely beautiful as a farmer loses his grip on reality. Season 2 of Trying arrives on BBC1 tonight at 10.40. Gorgeous comedy. Don’t miss it.
Relativity Richard Herrings family comedy is repeated on Radio4 at 2.15 this afternoon, with myself and Alison Steadman (among others). It’s very funny. Worth a listen.
So sad to hear that Nabil Shaban has passed away. I had a ball working with him on Deptford Graffiti in 1990 which I directed for Ch4. Born with brittle bone disease and confined to a wheelchair he was, a great campaigner and a fine actor. A real original.
