When you look at his body of work, it’s hard to believe Rory Kinnear is only 44: the man’s covered a hell of a lot of ground. He’s earned his place as a household name with roles like Tanner – M’s efficient Chief of Staff in several Bond films including Skyfall – and Detective Nock in Alan Turing biopic The Imitation Game, but while many actors would be rightly chuffed to bag these roles, they’re merely the tip of Kinnear’s acting iceberg.
Few actors, for instance, can claim to be responsible for a scene that has been burned onto our retinas, never to be forgotten, no matter how hard we try. For Rory Kinnear, that scene is in Black Mirror episode ‘The National Anthem’, the very first instalment of this disturbing dystopian anthology series, where he plays a Prime Minister forced into doing the dirty...

There’s been an unexpected hiccup in the development of Brexit – and we’re not talking about the resignation of former Brexit secretary, David Davis.
Instead, we draw your attention to the one-off standalone series starring Benedict Cumberbatch. It’s already deep into production, but as award-winning screenwriter James Graham revealed late last week, a very early draft of the show’s script has been stolen and is currently doing the rounds online.
Social media sites like Reddit and Twitter (h/t Metro) have already gained access to the documents in question, which shed light on Cumberbatch’s role as Dominic Cummings, the leading strategist and Campaign Director of Vote Leave.
However, as Graham so rightly points out, the script circulating on the Internet isn’t indicative of the final product,...

As the United Kingdom continues to feel the lasting impact of Brexit, Avengers: Infinity War star Benedict Cumberbatch is journeying back to ground zero for a new TV series based on the historic referendum.
He’s been cast in the role of Dominic Cummings, the leading strategist and Campaign Director of Vote Leave, for a one-off drama series set to explore the behind the scenes goings-on of Brexit, the inescapable term given to the impending withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
It promises to be a juicy, if somewhat contentious role for Cumberbatch to sink his teeth into, and he’ll be joined by Rory Kinnear as Craig Oliver, Director of Communications for then-Prime Minister David Cameron, and John Heffernan of The Crown fame. He’ll be playing Matthew Elliott, political lobbyist and Chief Executive of Vote Leave, with Liz White rounding out the ensemble as Cumberbatch’s on-screen wife,...
