There\u2019s a new limited series in town and, written by award-winning screenwriter Steven Moffat<\/a>, Douglas Is Cancelled<\/a> is the new four-part drama set to get people talking.<\/p>\n

Led by Hugh Bonneville<\/a> as popular news anchor Douglas Bellows, we follow Douglas as his penchant for telling funny stories gets him into trouble when his comments at a cousin\u2019s wedding starts to cause a social media storm.<\/p>\n

Describing what first drew him to the series, Bonneville admitted that the script \u201cconstantly surprised me with its changes of direction and tone\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cSome of the twists and turns are toe-curlingly funny, but by the end, the lights have gone out, the fun has evaporated and we\u2019re into dark territory. To read the whole thing in one sitting was as riveting as it was uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Presenting Live At Six alongside Douglas is the enigmatic Madeline Crow, played by Karen Gillan<\/a>. It\u2019s most certainly a Doctor Who<\/a> reunion of sorts, with Moffat<\/a> on writing duties, Gillan as one of the series leads and Alex Kingston also starring as Douglas\u2019s wife, Sheila.<\/p>\n
