In the news: France buys The Border

Lee-Anne Goodman of the Canadian Press reports on The Border’s sale to France:

  • France buys rights to CBC drama
    “The gods seem to be smiling upon “The Border” – not only has it attracted attention from international buyers like France’s Neutra Production, it’s also set to air in January when the big U.S. television blockbusters that routinely brutalize the CBC in the ratings will likely be in reruns thanks to the ongoing screenwriters’ strike.” Read more.

In the news: Jayne Eastwood interview

RM Vaughan of the Globe and Mail interviews Jayne Eastwood, currently starring in Billable Hours:

  • Our Jayne’s done it all – now she’s doing it with her clothes on
    “The legendary actress and comedienne first won hearts in the seminal Canadian film Goin’ Down the Road, and then proceeded to steal every scene from Al Waxman in The King of Kensington. As if that’s not enough to make Eastwood Her Majesty’s representative, I defy readers to name a single important Canadian television program broadcast in the last three decades that Eastwood has not graced. From SCTV to Street Legal, Twitch City to This Is Wonderland (and about 100 other gigs), Eastwood has shown up and plowed the driveway clean with her talent.” Read more.
