C4's Harry Hunters
A new Channel 4 film is to look at five girls who are
determined to snare their own Prince Charming.
The film First Cut: The Harry Hunters follows 21-year old
American friends Cassie and Whitney who grew up in rural Iowa, watching
Disney movies and dreaming they would one day marry Prince Harry. They know
that to achieve your dreams you have to be prepared to go the distance.
Cassie and Whitney have done their research and have a plan - to hit his
favourite haunts - from Polo clubs to exclusive Mayfair nightspots.
However, they have strong competition from the ‘queens' of the social
network in East London. School friends Joy and Jade know Prince Harry's
whereabouts at any time, day or night. Twitter is their medium of choice -
whether Harry's partying in Croatia or flying Apache helicopters, they will
know within seconds. 16-year old Joy even has an engagement ring for the
Prince when the right moment comes to propose.
And finally 14-year-old Flora who hangs out in Chelsea, London and avidly
reads the newspapers to know what Prince Harry is up to each week. However,
she is determined to impress her teenage heart-throb by working hard at
school in her hopes to become an intelligent Princess.
Channel 4 Commissioning Editor Aysha Rafael said: "The Harry Hunters shares
the romantic age-old dreams held by thousands of young girls around the
world. They fantasise of fairy tale dresses, extravagant royal weddings and
for that special day when they finally meet their Prince Charming."

been very close to my heart. I cannot wait to work with my old
colleagues and see what is in store for Sharon."

thrilled that Letitia is coming back home to Albert Square where she
belongs. Sharon is a real favourite amongst Eastenders' fans and I
for one can't wait until she arrives back in the summer."

Terry Duckworth Back In
Coronation Street
Coronation Street bad boy Terry Duckworth is coming back to
Weatherfield.
Terry, played by Nigel Pivaro, will return to the long-running soap in the
spring for around a month.
Viewers will see him reunited with his son Tommy, played by Chris Fountain,
in his first appearance in the soap since the day of his mother Vera’s
funeral in January 2008.
Pivaro said he could not “refuse” the offer to return, but said it would be
“a little sad” being there without Liz Dawn and Bill Tarmey, who played his
screen parents, Jack and Vera.

PG
Wodehouse Comedy For BBC One
BBC One has commissioned Blandings, a new comedy series based
on the stories by PG Wodehouse.
Blandings will star Timothy Spall as Lord Emsworth (Clarence to his
friends), with Jennifer Saunders as his sister Connie. The six
self-contained half hour episodes are written by Guy Andrews who is also
executive producing.
Danny Cohen, Controller, BBC One, said: “PG Wodehouse was a comic master,
and we are very excited about bringing his stories to life for a new
generation of television viewers. I'm sure that the equally brilliant
Timothy Spall and Jennifer Saunders will do justice to Wodehouse's work, and
I hope Lord Emsworth can put up with all the noise of the production.”
Wodehouse wrote the first Blandings story in 1915. Fourteen
dedicated novels and five collections of short stories later, he died in
1978, leaving Sunset At Blandings unfinished.
The series is set 1929, and will be filmed on location in Northern Ireland
with the support of Northern Ireland Screen.
