John Hannah News

Saturday, February 22, 2003

News: The episode of MDS, 'Wing and a Prayer' won a coveted American Society of Cinematographers Award on February 16, winning against some stiff competition from well established series.

And 'Camouflage', the eight minute animated film about a child growing up in a family affected by mental illness, and for which John Hannah provides the voice of one character, was one of the films shown at the Clermont Ferrand Short Films Festival a few weeks back.

And more news of where you can see John Hannah on TV:

Germany: ALIAS has started (and also in Finland). It's on Tuesdays on Pro 7 on Tuesdays at 20.15. The episodes with John ('Reckoning' and 'Color Blind') should be screened in late March. Unfortunately, they are dubbed.

Iceland: MDS continues on Skjareinn on Tuesdays at 20.00.

UK: MCCALLUM continues on Granada Plus on Tuesdays at 9.00pm and it seems that the series are being repeated in order and in full for the first time. Next week's story is 'Touch'.

THE LOVE BUG.shows on Five on 22 February at 5.15pm, and later the same evening, FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL on Film Four at 8.00pm. On 23 February at 2.15am on Sky Movies Max 3, there's CIRCUS and on 25 February at 9.00pm on Sky Movies Premier 3, it's THE MUMMY RETURNS.

No news, I'm sorry to say, just more TV:

Iceland: MDS will be shown on Tuesdays at 20.00 on Skjareinn. So far as we know, this is the first TV station outside North America to show MDS so, hopefully, it will be the full 13 episodes of the series.

UK: CIRCUS is on Sky Movies Max 5 on 15 February at 1.55am. THE MUMMY RETURNS will be shown twice, firstly on Sky Movies Premier on 15 February at 10.00pm and then on Sky Movies Premier 2 on 21 February at 8.30pm. The episode of 'Natural World' which is narrated by John Hannah, 'Crater: Africa's Predator Paradise' shows on BBC2 on 18 February at 1.00pm. It's about lions in the Ngorongoro Crater of Tanzania.

After last week's pilot episode of MCCALLUM, this week, 18 February, it is the first episode of the first series, 'Sacrifice', so hopefully, the whole of both series will be shown. It's on Tuesdays at 9.00pm on Granada Plus. There will be another screening of the not-often-seen THE INTRUDER on the Sci Fi Channel on 19 February at 12.55am. And, finally, SLIDING DOORS will be on BBC3 on 26 February at 9.00pm.
