SKY'S NEW TV PROJECTS
'JAMESTOWN' EPIC TV SERIES
We're going fully British today, my spylovers, because I know you like it when we do so, and Dezzy is always here to please! It seems that British Sky Channel is planning on joining ITV, BBC and Channel 4 in the circle of best stations at the isle, at least judging by the latest info on the projects they ordered for production! They did gather some really interesting names for them, and probably the biggest one will be JAMESTOWN! Sky and Carnival Films (creators of Downton Abbey) are making this eight part historical drama about the first British settlers embarking on their lives in America. And, my oh my, did they
gather a stellar cast which will include some of Britain's beloved TV faces including Matt Stokoe (oh, how we fell in sweet love with him in BBC's VILLAGE!), Max Beesley, Jason Flemyng, Dean Lennox Kelly, Stuart Martin, Steven Waddington with the spirited ladies landing on shore with them played by Naomi Battrick, Sophie Rundle and gorgeous Niamh Walsh.THE FIRST SETTLERS
The story begins in 1619, with the settlers seeking to establish a community in America. Among those reaching the shores of the New World are a group of women destined to be married to Jamestown 
men and becoming the female pioneers of an exciting new western outpost.THE LAST DRAGON SLAYER
Meanwhile, Sky is, as I informed you before, also preparing a TV movie, a small screen adaptation of Jasper Fforde's popular epic adventure THE LAST DRAGON SLAYER and they've set a cast for it to be lead by Ellise Chappell as orphan Jennifer Strange who discovers that her destiny is to become the last Dragonslayer. Ricky Tomlinson and GAME OF THRONES John Bradley will also star in the movie set to air in the festive season.
