In the news: Paradise Falls season three underway

From Jim Bawden of the Toronto Star:

  • Hot Box: TV to Talk About
    Don’t let it get out, but production has just started on the third season of Paradise Falls, the wacky sendup of TV soaps begun in 2001. But who of the cast will be back? Deb McGrath already has another steady gig on Little Mosque on the Prairie. Filming starts at the Sullivan Films backlot off Eglinton Ave. E., and then cast and crew are off to cottage country for exterior shots.

In the news: The Border, CBC

From Playback:

  • Raymont on The Border
  • Almost six years after it was shelved in the wake of Sept. 11, The Border has gone to camera for CBC’s midseason slate. The series, a high-action drama that follows Canadian agents on the front line of immigration policing, has a lot of things “blowing up and high production values,” according to executive producer Peter Raymont, “but it has a conscience,” too.
