More ‘Love Life’ News
Jo’s new project Love Life has now been given it’s own page on IMDb.com and we have some more information about the show. Jo is to play a character called Lorraine and the program will air in 2012. A more detailed synopsis has also been added.
Set in Margate, each episode, created by actor improvisation, acts as a self-contained story, though all five stories are set in the same place and time and roughly interlink: A married man is torn between his family and his first love; a female teacher develops feelings for a female pupil; a middle aged woman ponders how to deal with stale marriage and cheating husband; a new father experiences love at first sight with a younger woman; and a divorcée searching for true love deals with an obsessive stalker.
‘True Love’ News Snippet.
There is a little confusion over whether Jo’s new show is called True Love or Love Life, but it has begun filming in Margate recently. Doctor Who actor David Tennant was spotted on set and we have been given an interesting snippet of news on the films style.
The Dr Who actor was on the set of Love Life, a new drama for BBC One written and directed by the award-winning Dominic Savage – who grew up in the town.
The series, Love Life, represents a first for the BBC as the drama is made through improvisation.
Among other big names filming in Thanet were Billie Piper and Jenny Agutter.
Hopefully more news will follow shortly, this sounds like an interesting production so far!
Belated Birthday and a New Role!
First of all I would like to wish Jo a very happy belated birthday for the 9th September! I’d also like to congratulate her on landing a brand new role alongside David Tennant! Jo will play David Tennant’s daughter Lorraine in True Love, produced by Dominic Savages.
For Dr Who fans, this role will also reunite David Tennant with his former co-star Billie Piper! The production will be shown on BBC One, more information will follow as I find it.

Land Girls – Back to the Land
Finally we have some news surrounding Jo’s career! The second series of Land Girls will begin airing on Monday 17 January at 2.15-3.00pm on BBC ONE and BBC ONE HD. The following synopsis is taken from the BBC website:
The lives and loves of the land girls serving their country in the Women’s Land Army (WLA) return to BBC One Daytime as the award-winning period drama Land Girls is back for a new five-part series.
Against the backdrop of war-weary Forties Britain, Land Girls is again set at run-down Pasture Farm and opulent Hoxley Manor. Several months have passed and the series catches up with Bea and Joyce, who are joined by the new, streetwise, Cockney land girl Connie Carter.
Former land girl Bea is now a farmer’s wife to Billy and mother to William, who is the result of a one-night stand with an American GI. Joyce is fiercely patriotic and eternally optimistic, but worries about her husband, John, who is now in Bomber Command.
In a sunny field the girls are hard at work when the summer idyll is disrupted by a Tiger Moth landing. It’s Joyce’s husband, John, who whisks her off on a romantic plane ride to spend a blissful afternoon together.
A jeep full of GIs delivers the new land girl, Connie Carter, who is young, brash and sexy but with a singing voice of an angel. She causes mayhem from the moment she arrives, and when Bea plans a romantic surprise for Billy, Connie interferes, leading to disastrous consequences for Billy and Martin…
Meanwhile, Mrs Gulliver discovers that Finch’s cherished pet pig, Chamberlain, hasn’t been added to his inventory. When the pig topples her into a trough of stagnant water, she vows to have it sent for slaughter, leaving Finch striving to find a way to save his beloved pet.
Widowed at the end of the last series, Lady Ellen Hoxley is recycling the last of her dead husband’s clothes at the Manor House, dealing with the Americans who have temporarily commandeered her home, and coping with her bohemian sister, Diana Granville, who’s come to stay.
When wealthy American industrialist Jack Gillespie arrives at the Manor House on business, Diana is attracted to him, while Ellen is intrigued. He reveals to Ellen that though his only son is dead, Jack suspects he might have got a local girl pregnant when stationed in Helmstead and that he’ll go to any lengths to find her.
