Happy birthday Ciaranour fans of the six continents wish you a Happy Birthday: may each and every passing year bring you wisdom, peace and cheer…

Of youth and its verdurous bliss.

Ciarán in Lorraine TV show gives hints for next year’s projects

“I may be involved in another theatre project later in the year. At the moment we wait to see if the Lynda La Plante Above Suspicion got the figures that it needs to get to see if they will make another one. And meanwhile a script has landed in the door just yesterday; a small film but I don’t know the dates on that. So at the moment literally I finish on the 26th of February and either I get the sandwich board out and march up and down or something will turn up.”

The Woman In Black: a featurette

Based on a 1983 thriller fiction novel by Susan Hill and remake of a film released in 1989, The Woman In Black is a true ghost story. The featurette provides an insight from the director’s vision about the spectre and more. Author Susan Hill, screenwriter Jane Golman and actor Ciarán Hinds give their points of view about the story.

Langton is back!

Ciaran Hinds Silent ScremLangton has the extra agenda in this story that he was passed over for commander, because of something that was found out about what happened in the last series. His story begins with him being told, ‘Sorry, you’re not getting it’, and he challenges why he didn’t get it, and they bring up this old case. Langton had told every one of his guys to shut up about it – not to say a word – so he then throughout this whole story has another agenda, which is about finding out which one of the team, whether inadvertently or deliberately, let the piece of information go.

Above Suspicion: Silent Scream begins on Monday, January 9 at 9pm on ITV1.

“This Above Suspicion is different from any other we have done because there is a possibility
of many different suspects. The film director is interviewed, the drivers, ex-lovers, actors
she’s worked with, her agent and even her ex-housemates. Any one of them could be
involved.”
