I replaced the screencaptures of the full-length ‘Season of the Witch‘ trailer with ultra-HQ ones. Enjoy getting a better look at Claire as the suspected witch – if you dare!

060 Season of the Witch (2010) > Full-Length Trailer

Fans of the horror genre will be pleased to know that BBC3 looks set to give them something scary to enjoy in the dark winter weeks ahead.

At today’s Winter/Spring BBC3 launch, BBC controller of drama commissioning Ben Stephenson assured me that, as a big fan of horror, I am going to like Pulse, which is written by Doctor Who writer Paul Cornell and stars Claire Foy, who previously starred in Little Dorrit for the BBC.

Pulse, according to the BBC’s blurb, is set in a teaching hospital, which is home to some of the UK’s most promising trainee doctors:

But beneath its veneer of medical normality lies a secret network of dangerous experiments, pushing back the boundaries of science with potentially horrifying consequences

Now, I was a big fan of E4’s Dead Set, which, for a TV series, managed to be pretty gruesome and dark, and really provided for those who like their series a little more on the edgy side.

So I can only hope that BBC3 follows Dead Set’s lead to make sure that Pulse does something similar, and gives horror fans, who I often think are under-served by British television, something to get their teeth stuck in to.

The drama is planned as a one-off at the moment, and will run alongside two other pilots commissioned by BBC3, including a drama called Dappers from Mamma Mia! writer Catherine Johnson, and another from Leo Richardson called Stanley Park.

Neither of these is a horror (although Dappers is about two two single mothers living in Bristol — which sounds scary in itself) and I can only hope that that Pulse proves to be a hit, and that the BBC commission it for a full series.

Foy has already proved herself to be a good actress, so I am sure there will be an appetite among viewers to see more of her, if not more blood and gore.

Smell My Fleece by Anna Towers, read by Claire Foy

With four fewer teeth and a mouth stuffed with cotton wool, Debra isn’t having the easiest of days. And then she meets Dale. A curious tale of dentistry, stalking and poetry.

Apparently, the recording will be available on the BBC Radio 4 Website for 7 days afterwards.

I added the Poster for Sky 1’s recent collection of dialogue-free short films 10 Minute Tales – as Anna posted Claire Foy starred in one of them (Through the Window).

I also updated the sidebar and projects page. Due to Claire’s increasing number of projects information for each one of them can now be found on separate pages. Information about 10 Minute Tales: Through the Window (2009) – TV Short Film.

Claire will be reading a short story on 7th January 2010 on BBC Radio 4.

On Monday 28th December 2009, Sky One aired the 8th Episode of 10 Minute Tales, Through The Window, written and directed by Barry Skolnick.

Synopsis:
Lee Ingleby is The Man, and Claire Foy is The Woman. This poignant period piece reminds viewers that though loved ones can be lost, they can never be forgotten. A young soldier, who has been away at war, returns to find that his lover has been killed in the Blitz. Miraculously, their child managed to survive the deadly blast. The years pass and, as the widower and his daughter grow older, we learn that the deceased never truly departed… Eternal love is celebrated in this haunting, but tender tale.
