“On the set of the Musketeers we are incredibly adolescent!We also
enjoyed making prank calls. I spent half an hour on the phone to
Clarks pretending to be a man who couldn't get his shoe off.” Tom sharing
with us how hard and serious this filming business is... ;)

movies. Tom will play the male lead in the first one set in the 1980’s and

Mail on Sunday and Radio Times - ‘Strike’ broadcast date
JK Rowling hinted on Twitter that ‘Strike’ was coming ‘very soon’.
Well the Mail on Sunday and the Radio Times have now confirmed that we
will be getting to see ‘Strike’ in August on BBC 1. The series runs for 7 episodes so
if uninterupted will run through into September and possibly October depending
on how late in August it starts.
No firm news on HBO broadcast date for the USA yet.
Fans already asking when HBO will schedule ‘Strike’ in the USA. A viewer
asked community voices about HBO’s schedule. The response was :-
“News of HBO picking up this series for American distribution came out last
year but my understanding is it’s too early to determine even what year the
program will air at this point.”
@CormoranStrike_ on Twitter also emailed HBO directly and got a similar
answer that they have no plans yet when it will be screened. So sorry folks
no word yet! If I hear anything more I will post here!
New photo of the ‘Strike’ titles
New photo shared by JK Rowling on twitter! What looks to be a photo from
the opening titles sequence for Strike’s first story - The Cuckoo’s Calling.
