Secret Life has been nominated in the Television Films section of Monte Carlo's 48th Television Festival held from 8-12 June 2008.  The Awards Ceremony will be held on 12 June at 7:00 pm.

Matthew Macfadyen received a Best Actor award by the Royal Television Society and a nomination for Best Actor by the BAFTA's for his role in Secret Life. 

Interestingly Keely Hawes' Ashes to Ashes (in which Matthew guest starred in episode 7) is also nominated in the TV Series (Drama) section.

Best of luck to both of them! 

Matthew Macfayden, the star of Spooks and Pride and Prejudice, was at the castle for two days shooting scenes for Andrew Davies’ adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Little Dorrit, which will be screened on BBC One this autumn.

That's what Deal's East Kent Mercury Newspaper is reporting. The two days of shooting involved Deal Castle. The article included this wonderful image of Matthew. The newspaper goes on to say "the scenes shot at Deal Castle will form a part of the story-line set in Marseille, southern France".

Well spotted, JaneV!

Matthew Macfadyen, best known for his Darcy opposite Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth in Pride And Prejudice, does a fine job as Gabriel, and the rest of the cast turn in solid, professional work.

The extras are merely a page or two of professional bio and a credits list. But Macfadyen, the un-actory faces around him, the seldom-seen setting and great atmosphere make this a fun renter.

Luce's eagle eyes have discovered some behind the scenes photos of the filming of Little Dorrit. 

These were taken on 5 May, 2008 in Greenwich.  There are five of them, here.  None of Matthew Macfadyen, though.
