Michael Sheen on track for some Christmas nostalgia

Skyhas confirmed that BAFTA -nominated Michael Sheen (The Twilight Saga, The Queen) and Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones, Fast & Furious 7) have joined the cast of Last Train to Christmas, a brand new Sky Original film.

Written and directed by Julian Kemp, the title will be released on Sky Cinema and streaming service NOW this Christmas, available from December 18.

Tony Towers (Sheen) is about to take the trip of a lifetime. It’s 1985 and he’s a successful nightclub manager, a local celebrity and engaged to a much younger woman, Sue (Emmanuel). Things are going great.

But when he embarks upon the 3:17 to Nottingham for a Christmas family reunion, things get a little strange.

Moving up a carriage to the buffet car lands him in 1995, where he finds his clubs have failed and his life has fallen apart.

Tony discovers that by moving up and down this fateful train, he can transport himself forward and backward to various stages of his life.

Not only that, but the actions he takes in one carriage directly affect his life in the next. The question is, can Tony change his life – and the lives of the people he loves - for the better, or will he just make things worse?

Ed Sheeran is the latest star to entertain the nation’s children with a CBeebies Bedtime Story.

Swapping his guitar for a book, Ed will be reading I Talk Like a River by Jordan Scott and Sydney Smith. It’s the moving story of a boy with a stutter, whose father helps him by explaining that the flow of his words is like a river. The singer experienced a stutter himself as a young boy.

It will air on November 5.
