Langton 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.”
Although the actors’ performances are very enjoyable, it may be difficult to engage with the labyrintic plot and the slow pacing of the movie. Once more a very frustratingly small part for Ciarán.
As the workshy father, Captain Jack Boyle, Ciarán Hinds wears the hangdog expression of one who believes the rest of the world is conspiring to force him into a job. Although thoroughly selfish and disreputable, Boyle’s clowning scenes with his equally duplicitous friend Joxer Daly (Risteard Cooper) are the most enjoyable in the play (The Stage).
Ciarán Hinds has the grandstanding role of the flamboyant, bibulous Paycock, “Captain” Jack Boyle. It’s a part readily turned into a stage Irishman – a drunk to amuse the tourists. But Hinds’s big-bones turn Boyle into a more considerable figure (The Daily Mail).
Late home one evening from a night shoot, British film star Amanda Delany puts the key in her front door for the very last time… While Travis and the team grapple to track down Amanda’s killer, she has challenges of her own to overcome..
“The makeup, I think, on Ciarán, is the best makeup that’s ever been done on any of the films. It’s astonishing. To make him look that much like Michael Gambon while still there being just enough subtle differences for it to be a brother rather than an identical twin.”
“It was really hard to find yourself in there. It’s a fairly heavy disguise. It comes in three parts; what they’ve done is made me some little eye bags just in here, but then they push into the skin. And then they’ve given me – what you can’t see – from the eyes up here is this big forehead that Michael has that I don’t. And the only other thing is the nose because mine’s a bit crooked and thinner. So in fact they just added some features and then it transforms the whole thing.”
In the bleak days of the Cold War, espionage veteran George Smiley is forced from semi-retirement to uncover a Soviet agent within MI6’s echelons. Ciarán is Roy Bland (Soldier).
Based on the classic ghost story, The Woman In Black tells the tale of Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), a lawyer who is forced to leave his young son and travel to a remote village to attend to the affairs of the recently deceased owner of Eel Marsh House.

“The Captain is a chancer, a skiver, a liar, a cheat, and a bully. He’s aggressive and drunk. What’s appealing about that? Yet you have to make him human somewhere, whether it’s through his sense of wonder or of loss,” says Ciarán.
After its run on the Abbey stage, it will transfer to the National Theatre.
