SUNDAY: The clock is ticking in this delicious
Masterpiece show-biz dramedy, with British tabloids abuzz about 1980s soap star Noele “Nolly” Gordon (the great Helena Bonham-Carter), as her final episode of the hit series
Crossroads looms. Her producer is gloating that it could be “bigger than [the
Dallas cliffhanger] Who Shot J.R.?”, though nobody knows exactly how they’re writing off her beloved character of Meg Mortimer. “Do I die? Is it murder?” frets Nolly, taking solace in the company of campy TV host Larry Grayson (Mark Gatiss), who urges his dear and despondent friend towards the stage for her next act.
