T V’s 7 stars of autumn

Newcomers tipped to light up small

Full cream ahead! It’s the return of the milkman

THE sepia tones and scat-

tered leaves, the actors in

shades of red and orange...

it can only mean one thing.

Autumn is just around the

corner, and seven bright new

stars of the season’s must-

watch dramas have been

nominated by TV experts.

Here’s a glimpse at the break-

out actors, handpicked by Radio

Times, who will appear in the

highly anticipated shows across

terrestrial channels, as well as

Netflix and Sky Atlantic.

1 SEX DRAMA IN SOHO

Will Sharpe, 32, from north Lon-

don, will play a colourful Soho

sex worker in BBC2’s detective

drama Giri/Haji. Sharpe lived in

Tokyo until he was eight and

was inspired by loud and styl-

ised Japanese comedy. The

multi-talented actor is writing

and directing Louis Wain, a film

starring Benedict Cumberbatch

and Claire Foy. He also wrote

Channel 4’s black comedy-

drama Flowers.

2 GANG TENSIONS IN LONDON

Michael Ward, 21, from east

London, will star in Netflix’s Top

Boy, the gang drama set in the

capital. This is his first TV role,

which he scored after sending a

message to its star Ashley

Walters asking for an audition.

Ward caught the acting bug

while performing at the Shake-

speare Schools Festival, but has

been influenced by his ‘noisy,

creative, overdramatic’ family.

3 SECOND WORLD WAR TALE

Blake Harrison, 34, from south

London, will be familiar to fans

of comedy series The Inbetween-

ers. But he will take a serious

turn in BBC1’s upcoming Sec-

ond World War drama World On

Fire. He starred in A Very Eng-

lish Scandal alongside Hugh

Grant and trained at Sylvia

Young and the Brit School, but

was working in a call centre when

he won the Inbetweeners role.

4 IRISH PSYCHO THRILLER

Sarah Greene, 35, from Cork,

will star in BBC1’s The Dublin

Murders, a dark, psychological

thriller. A Tony and Olivier

award nominee, Miss Greene is

a seasoned stage actress but is

relatively new to British TV. She

dated Poldark star Aidan Turner

for five years.

5 THE ‘LOST’ JANE AUSTEN

Rose Williams, 25, from west

London, has no formal acting

training but will appear in ITV’s

Sanditon. The young star will

play Charlotte Heywood in Jane

Austen’s unfinished novel. She

started her TV career at 18 work-

ing in E4’s costume department,

after which she turned her sights

to acting.

6 GRITTY FAMILY CONFLICT

Jade Croot, 20, from Merthyr

Tydfil, will hit the screen in

Channel 4’s The Light, playing a

young woman who loses the use

of her legs in a building site acci-

dent. A Welsh karate champion,

Miss Croot will star alongside

TV favourite Sarah Lancashire

in the gritty family drama.

7 ENTERING THE UNDERWORLD

Lily Newmark, 25, from south

London, will star in Sky Atlan-

tic’s Temple, a drama based in a

fictional London underworld.

The English-American actress

landed her first TV role two

years ago and said her unique

features make her best suited

for ‘quirkier roles’.

Ones to

watch: The

rising stars

picked out

by Radio

Times

IT is a traditional service that once seemed

at risk of extinction with the rise of

supermarkets.

But home deliveries of milk in glass

bottles are making a comeback amid the

backlash against throwaway plastic.

The country’s largest doorstep delivery

service, Milk & More, which has more

than 500,000 customers, says it has signed

up 75,000 new households in the past year.

And around 90 per cent of them are

having their milk delivered in glass bottles

that can be returned and are typically

cleaned and reused 5 times.

It is more than nostalgia as the traditional

service has been reinvented for modern

customers used to having a wide range of

home deliveries. The firm’s milkmen offer

more than 00 essentials including bread,

eggs and cereal.

The trend has also boosted demand for

battery-powered milk floats, which have

criss-crossed the nation’s streets for dec-

ades before politicians and car firms sug-

gested electric vehicles were the green

solution to environmental problems.

Milkmen making daily rounds first

emerged in the 1860s as the railways

allowed milk to be carried freshly and

cheaply from farms into towns and cities.

Andrew Kendall, of Milk & More, said:

‘More people than ever before are look-

ing to make changes to their lifestyles to

live more sustainably.’
