It has been announced that Jessica is to star in The Norman Conquests
created by Alan Ayckbourn at The Old Vic theatre.
"The Old Vic brings Alan Ayckbourn's comic masterpieces, The Norman
Conquests to the London stage for the first time in 34 years. Matthew
Warchus (Speed-the-Plow, God of Carnage, The Lord of the Rings) directs
an outstanding ensemble cast including Amelia Bullmore, Jessica Hynes,
Stephen Mangan and Paul Ritter. Especially for this production The Old
Vic auditorium will be transformed into 'The CQS Space' to recreate the
intimate 'theatre-in-the-round' experience that the plays were originally
written for.
The interconnecting triptych of plays, Round and Round the Garden, Table
Manners and Living Together follow the same six characters, Norman, his
in-laws and the local vet over a summer weekend, in an English Country house.
Believing it his mission in life to make women happy by showering them
with love, Norman (Stephen Mangan) makes the most of every opportunity
to seduce his sister-in-law, Annie (Jessica Hynes), charms his
brother-in-law's wife, Sarah and woo his wife Ruth (Amelia Bullmore)
during this disastrous weekend of squabbling, eating, drinking and fondling.
Table Manners, Living Together and Round and Round the Garden are
ingeniously structured to allow each play to be enjoyed independently
or as a trilogy in any combination. Together they create a fascinating,
hilarious puzzle, which weaves a masterful web of interconnecting
secrets and desires."

Primetime Pilot Panic: Fox Nixes 'Spaced'
"Despite all the buzz, and exec producer McG, and a "phenomenal cast",
Spaced is a no-go, I'm told. FBC just turned thumbs down on the WBTV/
Wonderland pilot, which was adapted from the successful British TV series."

Spaced in America by Jessica Hynes. March 4th 2008
Things have really hotted up in the last few days -
‘Simon Pegg vs Mc.G!’ ‘Mc.G is a fat douche bag!’
‘It's a f***ing travesty!’ (that's fucking). I felt
a tear come to my eye when I went on www.pinkraygun.com,
because she kind of said it for me. When someone else
fights your corner and feels your injustice for you it
rocks, let me tell you. So can I just say thank you
for that. You know who you are. x
It might make everyone feel better to know that I am
planning a counter attack; A British re-make of
‘Charlies Angels’ called ‘Charlies Angles’ - about three
female architects who love to design buildings make
biscuits, and wear button up cardigans. That's gonna
hurt you Mc.G huh?- a remake of one of YOUR films
with no titties?? Huh??! HUH!!!
Anyway I'm going to keep it short - just wanted again
to reiterate that Simon, Edgar and I were not approached
- at any stage or consulted in anyway. In fact I approached
THEM in a very English way wondering if, you know
I'd been in the garden when they called, but have been
politely told that no official, meaningful involvement
( save wheeling us out to placate the fans) is possible.
So don't watch it, don't think about it - buy our
D.V.D coming out in America in the summer and
SAVE YOUR SOUL!!!!!

What do you think of the new layout?
let us know on the Message Board
David Tennant has confessed that the main reason he
accepted his latest role was so he would have another
chance to work with Jessica Hynes. David and Jessica
worked together on last year's Doctor Who Christmas
special, and the Scottish star readily admits he was
thrilled when the part of Chris in Learners came up.
"Jessica was on Doctor Who and she told me she had this
thing coming up," he explained. "I asked her if
there was anything for me, and she thought I was joking,
which I wasn't. So I kept asking and she told me there
might be, and that was it."
In the upcoming BBC drama the pair play a driving instructor
and a downtrodden housewife. Romance soon blossoms during
her lessons. And David has nothing but praise for Confetti
star Jessica.
"She's one of those actors who is so in the moment
each time, in every scene, that she never fails to
inspire you," he raved. "I've always been
a fan of Jessica and when I worked with her,
I became even more of a fan."
Learners is set to air on BBC One on November 11.

Chris, who has the patience of a saint, is assigned
as her instructor and it's not long before Bev develops
a crush on him, despite his geeky appearance...

Sarah Hadland is Fiona and David Tennant is Chris.

Filming has begun on a kung-fu action drama for BBC Three based
on the comic characters created by Gorillaz animator Jamie Hewlett.
Phoo Action stars the daughter of actor Ray Winstone,
Jaime Winstone, as Whitey Action.
The show sees the unruly teenage heroine join together
with a Buddhist kung-fu cop Terry Phoo, played by ER's
Eddie Shin, to form an unlikely crime-fighting team
who battle against mutant criminals on the streets
of London in 2012.
Hewlett's characters from Phoo Action first appeared
in the The Face magazine as Get The Freebies. The BBC
adaptation has been written by Matthew Enriquez Wakeham,
Peter Martin and Jessica Hynes, and will be
directed by Doctor Who's Euros Lyn.
