Blunt Talk

Leave a comment

Here’s a new featurette to promote Sir Patrck Stewart’s TV series, Blunt Talk.

The show debuts on US TV network Starz in August and is co-created by Seth MacFarlane.

Sir Patrick’s role is a galaxy away from Jean-Luc Picard and Professor Xavier. He plays talk show host Walter Blunt and the show also features Oscar-nominee Jacki Weaver and Adrian Scarborough who is very well known to British audiences.

I really hope a UK broadcaster picks this up (not Sky Atlantic, otherwise I won’t be able to watch it).
