New series set behind-the-scenes in a BBC newsroom features Dominic West, Romola Garai and Ben Whishaw, premiers on August 17th

By Robin Rowe

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 7/21/2011 – “In the first episode this team of ground breaking journalists start off in Alexander Palace working on news reels,” says The Hour star Romola Garai. “It;s an environment that they find very stultifying and not very challenging and not representative of the type of journalism they want to do. It’s an amazing feat of writing because it’s a great love triangle. It’s also a political story…and a conspiracy thriller as well.”

“The great thing when you write a story about journalists is there’s an incredible selection of memoirs, article and diaries to look at,” says BAFTA-winning screenwriter Abi Morgan.

With it’s sharp 50s wardrobe and smoking, The Hour is immediately compared to Mad Men. However, the comparison pretty much stops there. The Hour is a (more…)

Masterpiece Mystery presents Zen, a Roman police detective who always gets his man or woman, yet has a secret agenda that mixes politics with police work – airing Sundays, July 17-31, 2011 at 9pm on PBS **** four stars

By Robin Rowe

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 7/21/2011 – “What’s wonderful about Zen is he’s a little bit sly,” says Zen star Rufus Sewell. “The whole experience of Zen was so much fun for me. Not so much for the dialog and the action, although it was great to have a holster and a gun…. It was so wonderful being able to listen on camera with the full confidence that the audience is going to get the opportunity slowly to see that world through my eyes. All I have to do is think my way through it.”

Zen, based on the bestselling novels by Michael Dibdin, is the story of Aurelio Zen, an honest cop in Rome who must be very clever in order to be an honest cop in a corrupt Rome. Zen is always finding himself in position that political bosses are ordering him to fix his latest case to the outcome they need for political reasons.

Exclusive interview with NBC alternative programming executive VP Paul Telegdy, betting big on THE VOICE singing competition series that premieres tonight at 9/8c on NBC

By Robin Rowe

Christina Aguilera brings magic to THE VOICE, Simon who?

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 4/26/2011 – “Can you say a few words about the show?” asks NBC executive Paul Telegdy to Christina Aguilera. “I think you’ve said it all,” says Aguilera, who is interrupting an exclusive press screening of THE VOICE at Universal Studios.

“I’m having the most amazing time on THE VOICE,” says Aguilera. “Root for my team on the show.” Aguilera has popped in on her way to talk about THE VOICE with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. As one of the contestants exclaims on the show, being in the room next to the radiant Aguilera is like looking at the sun. Dazzling.

THE VOICE presents celebrity singing coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton out to discover the best singers and have them compete to win the title of best singer, to be THE VOICE. NBC was the network that tried to define itself without having any shows, with it being all Jay Leno all the time. When that daring plan didn’t work, and the affiliates threatened revolt, the network had to re-invent itself quickly. Key to NBC’s plan is competing with hit “alternative” programming, notably Fox’s American Idol. Can NBC build an Idol-killer? Apparently, it (more…)
