Neil Hunter & Tom Hunsinger's SPARKLE screens on BBC208/13/2010
Neil Hunter and Tom Hunsinger’s 2007 feature film ‘Sparkle’ screens on Saturday 14th August on BBC2 at 10:50pm (or catch on iplayer). The Radio Times gives the film which stars Bob Hoskins, Lesley Manville, Stockard Channing, Shaun Evans and Amanda Ryan four stars.
“… the future of thrilling improvisational ensemble drama is in the safest of hands with the ever-surprising co-directing team of Neil Hunter and Tom Hunsinger. The aptly titled Sparkle makes it three for three (after Boyfriends and Lawless Heart) for this truly dynamic duo whose collective sureness of touch dovetails neatly with their complex understanding of what makes emotionally rich tragic-comedy tick” (Film Review)

BBC2’s new 6 part comedy series, starring Dawn French and Alfred Molina, airs from this Friday 6th August at 10pm. Time Out gives the series 4 stars. Don’t miss it!
“After you begin to see the relationship unfold and the true bond between Roger and Val, you start to understand just how many different levels the series works on and realize just how challenging and different this series is from mainstream comedy output today.” Tellyspotting
“Set apart by two fantastic performances.. the amazing thing is that you believe they are married… The situation is a sitcom version of Samuel Beckett.. It’s like life, but it’s just done so well.. wonderfully detailed set, fabulously detailed performances.. Very very funny.” Kate Saunders, Front Row
“In a world of gags and instant gratification, ‘Roger and Val…’ is a bold comedy commission." Gabriel Tate, Time Out (4 Stars)
