The True Channels are blasting off with a bang in 2011 with a powerful combination of true stories, star-packed bestsellers, mini-series and great British drama.
Drawing upon the work of the world’s finest producers and directors, highlights include Meryl Streep starring in the acclaimed miniseries HOLOCAUST coming in April which has not been seen on British television for many years. We also have Truman Capote’s IN COLD BLOOD (on screen in February), the British theatrical hit feature LET HIM HAVE IT and Helena Bonham Carter stars in CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER WOMEN.
Our Star-studded mini-series include JACQUELINE SUSANN’S VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, TOM CLANCY’S OP CENTER, the World War Two epic HITLER’S SS: PORTRAIT OF EVIL and TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, based on the million-selling book and starring Jack Lemmon.
Most significantly of all, True Entertainment is now programmed to become the home of great series drama, particularly the finest British television drama series.
Leading the line-up is the hugely acclaimed (“Groundbreaking Comedy Drama”- The Times) COLD FEET (beginning Thursday 3rd March 9pm), on British TV for the first time since it finished on ITV in 2003. This is backed up by THE KNOCK (coming in April), THE VICE, LIFE BEGINS and At HOME WITH THE BRAITHWAITES.
These are augmented by two fantastic US classics John Grisham’s THE CLIENT - powerful contemporary US legal drama and a new series of the already popular Waltons for April 2011.
And if that’s not enough we also have premiere’s of top true stories starting this February, including Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows starring Judy Davis, Hitler the Rise of Evil with Robert Carlyle, Rosa Parks Ride to Freedom, Invisible Child and Jewel starring Farrah Fawcett.
