News reaches us this morning that is certain to send shockwaves throughout the broadcast media.
ITV have poached British television’s most in-demand actor, Trevor Eve, from under the noses of baffled BBC bosses to make a reality TV show!
Beeb drama chiefs were thought to be lining up several new dramatic projects for Eve in the wake of the resounding critical success of his recent powerhouse performance as slimy gameshow host Hughie Greene.
However, it is thought that new ITV chief, Peter Fincham, used his friendship with the Waking The Dead star to lure him away from Auntie’s clutches with a money-no-object offer to make the light-entertainment programme of his choice.
The new show, devised by and starring Eve, is already in pre-production and is scheduled to appear on Saturday evenings this autumn. Details are still somewhat sketchy at this stage but we can reveal the working title and brief synopsis thanks to a rather helpful source in the ITV publicity department.
