From New York to ‘Eden’: Christopher James Baker settles back home after 11 years
Image
Marvel projects may be drawing a slew of high-profile actors to Australia, but it seems there are also local productions inversely capable of attracting MCU talent.

Christopher James Baker has been back in his native country for the past year following more than a decade in New York, during which he starred in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, and also shot the upcoming DC Universe Series, Stargirl.

He has been able to hit the ground running following his return, with roles in Stan’s eight-part mystery drama Eden, as well as Goalpost’s gold rush drama New Gold Mountain.

Baker will first be seen in the former, which is set to premiere on the streaming platform on June 11.

The Every Cloud Productions/Balloon Entertainment series centres on the disappearance of a young woman and a subsequent chain of events that serves to lay bare dark and hidden secrets within the titular coastal town.

Prisoner: Cell Block H - looking back at the show

Remember Queen Bea, the Freak, and, er 'Vinegar Tits'? We revisit the joys of Aussie women’s prison drama, Prisoner: Cell Block H…

Britain, you sent Australia your convicts. In return, we sent you a TV show celebrating them.

Strap on your nostalgia goggles, it’s time to revisit one of the most bizarre, violent, lesbian-fetishy-heart-warming dramas ever created.

Prisoner: Cell Block H (known simply as Prisoner in Australia) was a daring, one-hour show set in Wentworth Detention Centre, a fictional women’s prison that provides the one-word title of the original show's modern-day revival. It ran for 692 episodes from February 1979 until December 1986. It hitched a ride on the coat-tails of the successful British show Within These Walls, with a notable difference. The focus of Prisoner was mostly on the inmates, not the wardens.

The opening was short and punchy - a quick recap of the previous...

Top 50 terrifying TV characters
facebook

Jokers, circus masters and demonic dolls. Which TV characters terrify you? Den Of Geek asked its writers that very question…

The subconscious is a terrible place; dark, mysterious and peopled by spectres from the past. As a bit of a laugh then, we sent our writers journeying into theirs and asked them to drag out any TV terrors they found lurking in the shadows.

Some television fears had been ensconced there since childhood, others were more recent tenants. Some were morally terrifying; human beings with icy hearts capable of atrocities, others were simply… atrocities.

Join us as we count down in order of terror from the sort-of-creepy to the downright terrifying, the 50 TV characters that, for whatever reason, give our writers chills. It’s by no means an exhaustive list, so feel free to fill in gaps by adding your own peculiar television nightmares below…

‘Prisoner’ Actress Who Played Molester Found Guilty of Child Molestation
Maggie Kirkpatrick in The Pirate Movie (1982)
Maggie Kirkpatrick, who played Joan “The Freak” Ferguson on cult Australian series “Prisoner,” has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a troubled teenage fan in the 1980s. The 74-year-old Australian actress’ prison guard character was feared by viewers for her sadistic nature and habit of molesting inmates under the guise of conducting body searches. In real life, Kirkpatrick was found guilty Thursday of two counts of indecent assault and one charge of committing a gross act with a person under 16, reported the Sydney Morning Herald.

Any news on a third season of In The Flesh?

Oh qwerty21 - we wish we had good news for you, oh how we wish! But BBC Three is keeping schtum on the fate of In The Flesh, its superb reinvention of the zombie genre.
