Turns out my research for the September 2014 CCCC-up was a little lacking.
I could have waited until the next edition at the end of October but, in this case, it would have been too late. So, I thought I’d sneak in a special ‘September-ish’ update.
In July I posted the latest news about the Irish drama An Bronntanas which stars John Finn (John Stillman in CC). After being originally filmed as a TV drama series for broadcast early this year, it was turned into a feature length film for showing at the Galway Film Fleadh. Then, a 5 part showing was planned for the Xmas holiday period. That is what I had in mind when I quickly checked to see if John had any new projects in the pipeline for CCCC-up September 2014. An Bronntanas was ignored.
Something made me look into An Bronntanas again in the past couple of days and I found, much to my surprise, that the broadcast has been brought forward to late October. The Irish-language channel TG4 will start the series on the 23rd of this month at 9:30pm. See the TG4 website for details.
An Bronntanas (which translates as ‘The Gift’) is about the crew of a lifeboat who, on answering a distress call in a storm, discovering an abandoned boat containing a body and a large haul of drugs. This creates a lot of dilemmas and issues within the small community.
My slightly more thorough investigations turned up a trailer for the show on YouTube. John appears towards the end of the video. It looks like he is playing a police office. Typecasting hey? 😉
