Press Interviews

Online Interviews

  • Sky Atlantic Website“I’m playing a character called Ben. No surname: just plain old simple Ben”
  • MSN.UK: awesome interview! :D ”I hope it’s something they’ll watch and think: ‘wow! I wasn’t expecting that”
  • CultboxI was so taken in by it. No surprise I guess as it comes from good stock, it’s created by Paul Abbott and Sean Conway’s done a fantastic job.’
  • The Daily Mail ”When I read the script I thought, “Are they actually going to be able to get away with this?” It was so off-the-wall but I couldn’t stop reading”

Very positive reviews for Sky Atlantic’s new TV series Hit and Miss. Lots of praise for Chloë Sevigny and Paul Abbott which is fantastic! :D Congratulations to @AbbottVision, @RedProductionsCo & @SkyAtlantic =D

Audience Rating: 160.000  (double the Sky Atlantic viewers!) http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/ratings/hit-and-miss-debuts-with-160k/5042653.article?blocktitle=LATEST-TV-RATINGS&contentID=988

  • The Independent: ”It’s wonderfully unexpected and unpredictable and a debut commission in original drama that Sky Atlantic has every reason to be proud of.”
  • The Stage: ”Hit & Miss which is actually rather terrific”
  • Cultbox:  ”the combination of uneasy domesticity and dispassionate slaughter makes Hit & Miss compelling viewing from the off”
  • SoSoGay: “A brilliant show, with amazing visuals and organic characters which are rich in complexity.”
  • MSN UK: you won’t find a more original programme on the box at the moment.
  • The Telegraph: mildly critical
  • Inside Media:” doesn’t shy away from the flaws in each character and tackles sensitive issues without making them feel exploitative and purely for shock value”
  • Metro UK: needs a bit more humour
  • TV Guide: a heartfelt story which not only deals with broken families but also – surprisingly – transgender issues
  • The Guardian: interview with Paul Abbott

Many thanks to @SkyAtlantic for the permission to share the screen caps / pictures of the video interview with Jonas Armstrong! :D

You might have remembered that Sky asked on twitter to send in all our questions for Jonas about a month ago…? Well this video interview was the result.

Feel slightly flustered saying this but uhm yes one of my questions was answered by Jonas…I asked him how it was like to work with Chloë Sevigny ;)  I am well aware with all that happened last Tuesday 15/05 that some might go WTF?!! But honestly everything was a fluke! So moving right on…here are the caps!

  • Digital Spy: ’A bizarre blend of action drama and family soap, Hit & Miss really shouldn’t work, but Abbot’s typically fine script and Sevigny’s powerful performance combine to produce something really quite special. Definitely one of 2012′s must-watch television dramas.’

The event takes place tonight from around 6.00PM UK Time at the London May Fair Hotel and everyone will be able to join in & follow what’s going on, including the Q & A panel with Chloë Sevigny. Paul Abbott and rest of the Hit and Miss cast will be attending, including Jonas Armstrong. :D

Full Report as it happened on Tuesday 15/05/2012

I have to start with an awesome HUGE thank you (and actually saying thanks barely covers it really :P ) to all those wonderful super nice people on twitter for passing along so many goodies & gifts throughout the evening. Don’t know what I said or did to deserve it all, but truly awesome thanks to @Gaytimesmag @RedProductionco @nooclar and especially to Jonas for taking the time to do all of this! Lots of *cyberhugs* & I keep saying it but one day they’ll invent 4D emails and then will spam everyone with my Belgian Chocolates lol :D

Credit to ChloeSevigny.org for the Picture! :D

Nikki ‏ @Nikki_081 @RedProductionCo oh my goodness awesome thank you sooo much! X :-)

  • Chloë Sevigny Online ‏ @chloesevignyorg First 18 photos of Chloë Sevigny (in Versus Fall 2012) at the#HitAndMiss London Premiere on Chloë Sevigny Online http://www.chloe-sevigny.org/2012/05/15/chloe-at-hit-miss-london-premiere/
  • Sky Atlantic HD ‏ @skyatlantic Creator/Producer Paul Abbott came up with the concept, and writer Sean Conway took it on. “The crux of the story is family.” Chloë Sevigny says she was ready to sign “by the time I got to page 2.” She threw herself into research on transgender issues. Producer Nicola Shindler is discussing a sensitive issue – the unique nudity in the show. “It was important to see it.” Chloë discusses her time in Manchester. “I isolated myself while I was there. This was the most challenging role of my career.”The floor is opened up for audience questions. “Did you ever consider a transgender actor?” Nicola says “we just wanted the best actor.” Chloë is praising her castmates (many of whom are here at the screening, including Karla Crome, Reece Noi, & Jonas Armstrong) An audience member says we’re in a golden age of complex female protagonists. Sean says “female characters are more interesting to write.”
  • Red Production Co. ‏ @RedProductionCo Mariella describes the look of the show as David Lynch-like. Sean cites Terence Malick and Cormac McCarthy as inspirations for Hit and Miss. That’s the first time Chloe has seen Ep1 – she was worried about watching the nude scenes but is very pleased they were so sensitively shot. Nicola talks about it being unusual to be sent a thriller script with a woman as the protagonist.
End of the Q & A

Nikki ‏ @Nikki_081 @GayTimesMag omg dunno what to say just thank you soooo much!!!! Xx cyberhugs Xxx wish i cld send over belgian chocs lol :-)
