Want to watch the new series of Dallas on TNT on Wednesday in the US – it’ll be coming to Channel 5 in the UK later in the year – but never saw the original? Or perhaps you did see the original series, but given that was 20-odd years ago now, everything’s a little hazy now? Well, don’t worry. TNT has put together this behind-the-scenes trailer that interviews the cast while also giving you a brief run-down of what the show is all about and how it all started.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
