Amanda Redman to star in new comedy drama 'Honest'
Amanda Redman is to star in a new six-part series for ITV1 about a mother trying to keep her family on the straight and narrow.
Called Honest, the comedy drama will see Redman play Lindsay Carter, a woman whose husband has spent four years in prison for robbery.
On top of this, she has a bunch of wayward children, including a daughter obsessed with becoming the new Naomi Campbell and another who is blackmailing her deputy headmistress so she can bunk off school.
The series follows Redmans character as she attempts to keep her family in order.
Written by Jack Williams, it will also feature actors Danny Webb, Sean Pertwee and Matthew McNulty and is being made by independent production company Greenlit Rights. It is due to go out next year.
New Tricks
Amanda Redman, James Bolam and Dennis Waterman are to star in a new crime drama for BBC1.
New Tricks features Redman as a police superintendent who is sidelined after a hostage rescue goes disastrously wrong.
Put in charge of a new department, she's dismayed to find it's manned by former detectives who have long since handed over their badges.
The 90-minute drama is currently being filmed in London and will be shown on BBC1 next year.
A BBC spokesman said: "There is something intrinsically funny about three retired, larger-than-life detectives, their health not quite what it was, working alongside modern day cops.
"But New Tricks looks not only at the often amusing role that the middle-aged have in our working culture, but also at law enforcement and the changes that have taken place over the last 30 years - have they necessarily made Britain a safer place?"
New Tricks has been made into a series and in England series 1 finished a little while ago. Series 3 of New Tricks is currently being shown on British TV whilst series 1 and 2 are out on DVD.
New Tricks Series 3!
Hit BBC ONE drama New Tricks returns for a third series
"New Tricks is that rarity, a genuinely funny crime series, generously stuffed with throwaway jokes" - The Guardian
"BBC ONE's highest rating new drama of last year is back for an eight week run, with the same quirky mix of comedy and criminality. It's the crack cast though that really makes these tales of retired coppers back on the job so watchable" - Telegraph
"One of the most enjoyable things currently on television" - Daily Mail
Amanda Redman, Dennis Waterman, Alum Armstrong and James Bolam are back for a third series of the hit drama New Tricks, due for transmission on BBC ONE this year.
Irreverent, warm and funny, New Tricks is a detective series with a difference.
Jack Halford (Bolam), Gerry Standing (Waterman) and Brian Lane (Armstrong) are three ex-coppers brought out of retirement to re-examine unsolved and open cases as part of a new initiative, UCOS - Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad.
Headed up by Superintendent Sandra Pullman (Redman), this trio of ageing misfits should not be underestimated. Murder, fraud, suicide, witchcraft, politics professionally, there isn't much that fazes this team.
And what unites them is a complete disregard for rules, regulations and protocol.
These old dogs refuse to be taught new tricks, but with such a high success rate, Pullman soon finds herself bending the rules too.
The new eight-part series also features Susan Jameson, Anthony Calf and Natalie Forbes with guest appearances from Steven Berkoff, Stephanie Beecham, Frances Barber, Kenneth Cranham, Anton Lesser, Gareth Hunt, Richard Briers, Siobhan Redmond, Frances De La Tour, Patrick Malahide, Denise Black, Steve John Shepherd, Kevin Whately, Joe Absolom and Hannah Waterman among others.
Created by Roy Mitchell and Nigel McCrery, the third series of New Tricks is written by Roy Mitchell, Jaquetta May, John Martin Johnson, David Allison, Lisa Holdsworth, Steve Coombes and John Wilsher.
The huge success of series one and two of New Tricks has resulted in an unprecedented double commission of series three and four by the BBC.
Adding to the show's success, New Tricks series two was recently nominated for a prestigious International Emmy.
New Tricks is a Wall To Wall production (A Rather English Marriage, Our Boy, Plotlands) for BBC ONE, produced by Francis Matthews (My Dad's The Prime Minister, Gimme Gimme Gimme).
Executive Producer is Tom Sherry (Murphy's Law). Executive producers for the BBC are John Yorke and Eleanor Moran.
