Last Chance Driving School

2007-12-01T06:20:00.000Z

Ten of Britain’s worst drivers, who have either failed to pass their tests or who have been banned from driving, attempt to succeed behind the wheel when they spend one week in the residential Last Chance Driving School under the uncompromising regime of three of the country’s top driving instructors.

Between them the 10 terrible drivers have failed 55 tests, spent £50,000 on lessons, had one license revoked, and one road accident.

Now they find themselves gifted with a golden opportunity to put their appalling track records behind them by taking part in an intensive driving course at a specialist driving school led by some of the country’s leading instructors before sitting the test for hopefully one last time.

All the emotional drama is caught on camera as the students face their biggest driving fears – from reverse parking and observation, to driving at more than 60 mph.

And with them for every punishing turn of the wheel on the road to gaining a much-coveted license are the instructors. Tasked with whipping the students into shape are Tim Eden, an ex traffic cop, senior educator Neil Beeson, and Laurie Jane Taylor, a former drugs counselor who specializes in using psychology on her students.

Innovative and hi-tech tools are also used to meet the challenge of transforming the students from highway hazards to roadworthy. Resident psychologist Dr Lisa Dawn runs detailed personality tests on each of them to help them understand more about how they drive and they undergo computerized brain training to teach their eyes to spot potential danger.

Tim Eden says: "The reason I’m a driving instructor is to make people safer on the roads. Over 3,500 people a year are killed on roads because of bad driving decisions."

Laurie-Jane Taylor has been an instructor for only two years but already has an incredible 75 per cent pass rate.

She says: "It’s not just about how to put your foot on the gas peddle and go, and then be able to put your foot on the break and clutch and stop. There’s so much more to driving and if we want to make this place safe, you’ve got to get in the heads of these people."

As the learners begin to crack under pressure and make mistakes, Neil is quick to make them realise that fretting about a minor error may only lead to something much more serious.

"If while you’re worrying about a little mistake you make a bigger mistake - now that could be the end of the world," says Neil.

Last Chance Driving School reaches a tense and emotional climax as, after a week of intensive tutoring, the instructors decide who is ready to sit their test. None of the students know who faces the examiner first, and some feel they are far from ready, but can they overcome their fears once and for all and take control at the wheel?

The Great Garden Detectives ITV3

2007-10-16T08:27:00.000Z

A visual feast of horticulture, landscape, garden design and natural beauty, The Great Garden Detectives takes the viewer on an extraordinary and privileged journey through the secret history of eight British gardens all used extensively as locations for TV dramas and feature films.

Each programme is a story-telling treat, revealing the history of each garden, the horticultural excellence to be found there and the uniqueness of their location and environment. Presenter, Chris Beardshaw, a Gold Medal winner at Chelsea with extensive horticultural and garden design expertise, takes the viewer on a journey. He meets the people who own, work and cherish these gardens, discovering the hidden tales and gardening secrets they have at their fingertips.

From Brideshead Revisited to Oscar-winning film The Queen, and Sherlock Holmes to The Darling Buds Of May, the series looks at how Britain’s wealth of historic gardens have been used to conjure up some of our best-loved films and TV dramas.

In programme one, Castle Howard in Yorkshire: a house, garden and estate on a grand scale built to make a public statement of wealth, confidence and spectacle. It survives today, still owned by the Howard family and paying its way by opening its doors to the public and to film crews.

Famous as the location for the Granada production of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited where it became a character vital to the series in its own right. We go behind the scenes not of the production but of the garden itself, visiting the famous Atlas Fountain, Ray Wood, the demolished Temple of Venus built by Hawksmoor, the kitchen gardens and the vast waterway system that threads its way through the entire estate and garden. We meet along the way the gardeners and custodians responsible for maintaining the past and building for its future.

PCs Sally Armstrong (Ali Bastian) and Reg Hollis (Jeff Stewart) arrive at the scene of a suspected assault and are horrified to find the dead body of Maria Samuels (Naomi Millbank-Smith). Crime Scene Examiner Lorna Hart (Siobhan Redmond), DS Stuart Turner (Doug Rao) and DC Jo Masters (Sally Rogers) examine the evidence and discover that Maria was a model.

They uncover her portfolio and find her pictures were taken by a photographer by the name of ‘Slade’. Stuart and Jo soon track down Jeff Slade (Darren Day) who’s furious that someone has broken into his studio and smashed everything up. As the officers question him, Stuart notices a blood soaked t-shirt and Slade is arrested on suspicion for murder.

However, back at the crime scene, Jo notices a photograph of Maria and her fiancé Darrell Crow (Ricky Nixon) – wearing the same t-shirt found at Slade's house. While both men admit they saw Maria on separate occasions that morning, they insist she was alive when they left. Later, when Lorna tells Jo that Maria’s skull had two abrasions, the detectives must work out which suspect provided the fatal blow…

Guarding the Queen

2007-07-11T05:51:00.000Z

They are the most recognisable soldiers in the UK, if not the world. The public face of royal ceremony, resplendent in bearskins and scarlet tunics, they stand guard outside Britain’s royal residences, most famously Buckingham Palace. But the Grenadier Guards are also the most senior infantry regiment in the British Army and they are also one of the oldest, celebrating their 350th anniversary last year.

To mark this milestone, Guarding the Queen will provide a rare behind the scenes insight into their journey from rookie recruits to carrying out important duties outside Buckingham Palace and on the front line.

Between December 2006 to June 2007 ITV cameras have exclusively followed the Nijmegen Company who form a key part of the Household Division of the Grenadier Guards. Their job at Wellington Barracks in London includes guarding both the Queen, and the Crown Jewels at The Tower of London. It is the first time the Grenadiers have been filmed in ten years.

In the first of this three part series, the Queen celebrates the 350th anniversary of the Grenadiers with a party at Windsor Castle. For commanding officer Colonel Carew Hatherley it’s a very proud moment.

"We’re carrying on 350 years of serving the monarchy – that’s ten kings and three queens. It’s part of the living history of Great Britain," he says.

But not all the guards are enjoying the party. Up in the Scottish highlands Captain Ollie Doherty is leading a group of trainee guardsmen on their final exercise in battlefield discipline – the climax of months of hard training. Of the 13 Grenadiers that started the course only four remain.

One of the four is Steven Cooper, and the programme cameras follow him on his passing out parade at the guards’ training depot in Catterick in Yorkshire –- and see how he settles into life at Wellington Barracks in London before taking part in his first guard change outside Buckingham Palace.

Regimental Adjutant Conway Seymour, a Grenadier for 42 years, says: "Of all the great heroes, there’s none that can compare with the British Grenadiers."

Today he is inducting two new musicians to the band regiment. The world famous pomp and ceremony of the changing of the guard wouldn’t be complete without the band of the Grenadier Guards. One of the new recruits is Abbey Davis – only the fifth woman to join the Grenadier Guards band.

After her 12 weeks of basic training she joins Wellington Barracks for her initiation into the band troop:

"It’s weird being in a proper army camp, all the army vehicles everywhere. I’m not used to seeing them," she says.

Band Sergeant Major Kevin Bird is responsible for getting the band into shape:

"I think for any musician that comes into this environment it’s going to be a very big challenge. When they audition first of all they’re expected to be of a certain standard. They will go through basic training and then they come to us so they could be anything from 18 months to two years in training before they come to us."

As new band recruit Abbey takes part in her first guard change, it is the last for Major Marcus Elliot-Square. He’s about to go to Afghanistan and returns back to his battalion for four months’ training to prepare to fight the Taliban.

For the last fourteen months Major Elliot-Square has commanded Nijmegen Company when the Grenadiers are on guard. After leaving his ceremonial duties he puts his company through live firing exercises in Northumberland on an assault across open ground. The company work alongside Afghans who are drafted in so the troops can get used to working through interpreters.

A taste of Hollywood in Sunhill

2007-07-11T05:49:00.000Z

ITV1 drama The Bill has welcomed a bit of Hollywood glamour in the form of a special guest appearance by former Dynasty and Colbys actress, Emma Samms. Best known for her role as Fallon in the hugely popular 80’s series, Emma plays dowdy housewife, Ella Winstanley, a far cry from the shoulder-pads and lipgloss synonymous with her former role.

Samms said, "This is the opposite end of the scale to a glamorous role, in fact, it's an exercise in discarding vanity, which is very liberating. It's a pleasure to work with so many lovely people, and there's no way I could not have taken the role as it's my mum's favourite programme!"

Emma’s on-screen husband is played by Stephen McGann, youngest of the famous acting brothers, who is concerned when his wife disappears. Sun Hill officers soon discover Ella kneeling beside an injured man with blood on her hands, and she is arrested for attempted murder. Can she save herself from a life behind bars by admitting to a very dark secret..?

Sam Callis joins The Bill

2007-06-04T12:39:00.000Z

Best known for his roles in London’s Burning and The Royal, Sam Callis has joined The Bill to play fearless Sergeant, Callum Stone.

Independent and courageous, Stone has his own moral code and strict sense of justice, he loves the uniform and the statement it makes. He is also happy to go that extra mile and sort the odd dispute in his own time as it gets him remembered and knows a favour in return might be needed as some point.

Stone is not afraid to be creative with the law - never for his own gain but always to deliver justice. Stone will get along with most of the officers at Sun Hill, especially the women, but Sergeant Smithy (Alex Walkinshaw) makes it clear he has a problem with Stone’s desire to go solo…

Sam says “I am extremely excited to be playing Sergeant Stone who is a terrific character and something I can really get my teeth into. He has an amazing storyline journey and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. I have already met a lot of the cast and crew through previous jobs so have managed to settle in quickly. Stone isn’t the first character I’ve played in The Bill, my first visit was to play an alcoholic priest!”

Robson Greeen to star in 'Little Devil'

2007-05-30T04:28:00.000Z

New comedy-drama, Little Devil, takes a dry look at life through the eyes of ten year-old Oliver Crowe (Joseph Friend) who is forced to take desperate measures to try to save his parents’ crumbling marriage.

Robson Green plays Will Crowe; a traumatised father and headmaster who is reeling from the shock discovery of his wife, Laura’s (Maggie O’Neill) affair with his best friend, Adrian (James Wilby). Also starring are Emily Joyce as Adrian’s long-suffering wife, and Katie and Phoebe Thomas as Will and Laura’s daughter, Jackie Crowe.

The highly charged drama follows the comedic highs and heartbreaking lows of Oliver’s well meaning but ultimately disastrous exploits with his best friend and partner-in-crime, Zoe (Chloe O’Sullivan).

"I always enjoy being part of a story that deals with relationships and the effect they can have on children," commented Robson. "How can ten-year-old Oliver keep his parents together after he discovers his dad’s best friend has slept with his mum? The consequences to this scenario are painful, sometimes ludicrously absurd, funny but most importantly life affirming. It was a joy working with James Wilby, Emily Joyce and of course, Maggie O’Neill who’s character in ‘Shameless’ was brilliant".

"Little Devil" (3 x 60 minutes) transmits in early August 2007 on ITV1
