Charles Edwards embraces James Graham at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards at The Royal Festival Hall, London (11/05/25).

James Graham's film adaptation of Ink will have its world premiere as the opening film of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on 2 September 2026, where it will compete for the Golden Lion.

The film features Bertie Carvel as Hugh Cudlipp, Jack O'Connell as Larry Lamb, Guy Pearce as Rupert Murdoch, and Claire Foy as Jules Davies.

I heard it’s pretty good (despite its flaws ofc lol, and I mean it is technically a historical dramatisation of real life events, like ofc historical events have to be dramatised for storytelling purposes lol, but I digress)

But…..the thing is….I’m anti-monarchy (as in, I do not give a SINGLE fuck about the Royal Family, and I say this as a British person myself btw, like honestly the Royal Family can DO ONE 🖕🖕🖕)

Buuuuuuuutttttt-

1)) The series was created by Peter Morgan (who also wrote the “Michael Sheen as Tony Blair” film trilogy, which includes the films; “The Deal” (2003), “The Queen” (2006), and “The Special Relationship” (2010), and I absolutely LOVE Michael Sheen and I’ve been meaning to check out the trilogy soon!)

2)) Charles Edwards is in it. No notes. (I love Charles Edwards)

3)) To expand on my last point, almost EVERY. SINGLE. BRITISH. ACTOR. AND. ACTRESS. IS. IN. THIS. BLOODY. SERIES.

4)) British Queer Playwright James Graham (who also wrote the plays “This House” and “Best of Enemies” (both also starring Charlie Edwards) among other plays, as well as writing the film “Coalition” (2015), among other stuff too) also wrote for an episode of the show too, sooo…….

5)) Jonny Lee Miller……as John Major. No further notes. (HE’S ACTUALLY SO HOT AS JOHN MAJOR WHAT THE ACTUAL FU-) (also apparently THERES A SPITTING IMAGE REFERENCE IN THE SHOW???)

6)) the British comedy revue Beyond the Fringe (Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett, Jonathan Miller) is in an episode of the show, which is very cool :D!! (as a fan of British Comedy, I am pleased to hear that they have a cameo in this series ☺️☺️❤️❤️)

7)) Bertie Carvel……as Tony Blair (honestly he looks aLOT like Tony Blair frfr, perfect casting there 💯💯. Plus Bertie Carvel honestly looks a lot more like Tony Blair than he does look like Nick Clegg in “Coalition” (2015) lmao 🤣)

Soo….mhmmmm…..I *might* possibly check out this series maybe?

idk really lol, but do let me know your thoughts on this people!!
