January 28, 2014



Crime drama Broadchurch has picked up the top drama award at last night's South Bank Sky Arts Awards.

The whodunnit – which starred David Tennant and Olivia Colman and screened on STV last March – collected the title of Best TV Drama at the ceremony, held at The Dorchester Hotel in London's Park Lane.

Also nominated in the same category were Top of the Lake and The Fall, but it was the cast and crew of Broadchurch who were smiling the widest at the end of the night.

Sky News quoted Colman as saying: "I'm excited. Ready to get on the booze!”

She went on to add: “Being in a room with these people who I consider so magical compared to us – no offence to actors, but, Darcey Bussell was here and there was clip of what she can do with her legs – it's humbling.

“Musicians and artists, it's exciting that we're all there and that we've had an impact on people's lives and they enjoyed what we did."

Tom Hiddleston wants to work with Daniel Day-Lewis

Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards 2013, where he picked up the Times Breakthrough Award, Tom said: ''I'd love to have a chance, even a chance, of trying to work with Daniel Day-Lewis because I admire him so much. I am so intrigued. He's always inspired me.

''Just the commitment he takes on every time he chooses to work and kind of what he chooses. You can always see this. He gives 110%.''

The 31-year-old actor - whose CV includes 'War Horse' and 'The Hollow Crown' - once had the chance to meet his idol and ruined the moment by ''gushing'' about how much he loved his work.

He reminisced: ''I met him once, a couple of years ago. It was long before I'd made a film and I was working in theatre and I happened to be somebody's plus one [to an event]. I stopped him on the stairs as I had to tell him he's one of the greatest things; being an actor.

''He said, in his beautiful English/Irish [accent], 'Thank you so much, it means a lot, thank you so much'. It was basically me gushing about how much I loved 'In the Name of the Father' and 'The Last of the Mohicans'.''

It's safe to say Hollywood heavyweight Jeremy Irons and his Irish wife Sinead Cusack are rock solid. The high profile couple made a rare public outing together at the prestigious South Bank Sky Arts Awards at The Dorchester in London last night, and after 34 years together, looked as happy as ever.

Jeremy has been incredibly honest about their marriage in the past, describing their relationship as "dysfunctional", and they are believed to be in an open relationship. The couple have often been photographed kissing and cuddling in public.

The high brow ceremony saw Jeremy as one of the guests on honour alongside his Tony award nominated wife. Actor James McAvoy was also in attendance alongside Anne Marie Duff, Richard E Grant, Grayson Perry,  Felicity Kendall and Akram Khan.
