Christmas Specials 18th/19th/20th December 10pm
The League of Gentlemen is returning to BBC2 for three new episodes!
The pitch-black comedy finished on BBC2 in 2002 and was followed by a film in 2005, The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse. Now it’s back for three new episodes. All four of The League of Gentlemen’s original creators – Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Jeremy Dyson, and Reece Shearsmith – will reunite for the new specials airing on 18th, 19th and 20th Dec.
Jenny Sheridan edited the three new episodes with the lovely Desiree Ivegbuna as her edit support and rough assembly editor. Jenny said “The most challenging thing was actually when it was all over. Being a part of something that I’d grown up watching, loving and quoting was just incredible. I had to pinch myself on a daily basis. Then when we picture locked the final episode it felt like a historic moment, the end of an era really”
Congratulations Desiree and Jenny, we can’t wait to watch

Director: John Dower
The documentary will be released on the 24th November on Apple Music to coincide with the release of the Who Built The Moon album. It includes footage from an intimate gig in York Hall, London to promote the album.
Franco Bogino edited the film and said “It was great fun to work on because Noel is a right joker, so the material was very funny. There was limited access so we had to make the little we had go far. The best thing about it was that I got on the guest list for the concert featured in the doc, and I got to meet Noel. It was very brief, the only thing he said to me was ‘Don’t f**k it up you c***’!”
Executive Producers: Tom Anstiss and Paul Hamann

The Satusfaction team had a great time attending this year’s Televisual Factual Festival at BAFTA. Big highlights were ‘Meet the Commissioners – Specialist Factual and Fact-Ent, what next?’ We learnt what attracts specific commissioners to a particular programme, how access to a brilliant situation or character is always key and how channels are hungry for new game changing ideas, that hit the sweet spot of national consciousness.
We heard Tom McDonald speak about how new science and technology are to thank for why he was able to commission Blue Planet 2 – we even got a sneak peek at next week’s episode!
Will Anderson’s passionate talk about The War on Waste was inspiring and we were blown away by tales of legendary natural history producer, Alistair Fothergill’s adventures on Planet Earth and Blue Planet.

Jamal is a sergeant with a Special Forces unit in the Iraqi army. Along with squad leader Anmar, Hussein, Amjad, Abbas and a few others were some of the first to go into Mosul last year to try to retake the city from Isis. With them was French film-maker Olivier Sarbi. This observational documentary captures all aspects of war, the confusion of what’s going on, the confusion of who is Isis and who is not and the horror for the terrified civilians after months of living in fear.

The Guardian states “It is an extraordinary film – insanely brave, but also intimate and human. The sound of automatic gunfire rings on long after the final credits”
Here is what Ella has to say about editing the project “I was spoilt in this job with such rare to get and beautifully shot rushes, and also to get to hear all the experiences shooting it direct from Olivier ( Saebil) the crazy genius! But it was also intense in that even while we were editing people Olivier had been with on the Unit had been killed or badly injured. The composers are actually from Massive Attack! And they were good to work with so that’s pretty cool”
Well done to Ella Newton who edited this poignant documentary!
