Spooky first trailer for Timothy Spall and Matthew Macfadyen drama The Enfield Haunting

Are you ready to be scared?

Here is the first look at new Sky Living drama The Enfield Haunting – and it may send a chill down your spine.

Starring Mr Turner's Timothy Spall alongside Ripper Street actor Matthew Macfadyen, the drama explores the supposedly genuine haunting of a small house in north London in the late 1970s.
Spall's character Maurice Grosse is a paranormal researcher drawn to the house on Green Street in Enfield after the tragic death of his daughter in a motorcycle accident.



He is joined in his quest to investigate the strange incidents at the address by his wife Betty, played by Truly, Madly, Deeply and The Village star Juliet Stevenson.

Alan Rickman: Five appalling oscar snubs (BBC America)

Oscar Snubs

Last week, Gary Oldman ended his three-decade reign as Oscar’s most perennially snubbed talent, scoring a nomination for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

His Harry Potter co-star Alan Rickman wasn’t so lucky: his well-reviewed performance in the final Potter film gave the British star his best shot at a nod in years, but the movie’s lack of awards momentum killed his chances.

Is Rickman the greatest living British film actor to never be nominated? Here are five Rickman roles that warranted recognition from the Academy:

(1)  Die Hard (1988)
Hans Gruber is where the legend of Rickman began, a role that remains iconic a quarter-century after the thriller pack theaters. Before you declare Die Hard “not an Oscar film,” note that the Academy has nominated worthy supporting actors in so-called “cheesy” blockbusters before (Fred Astaire in Towering Inferno, Alec Guinness in Best Picture nominee Star Wars, and Pat Morita in The Karate Kid, anyone?)
