There’s at least one extended scene from AMC’s Parish that didn’t make it into the final cut of the series.
During Deadline’s Contenders TV panel on Saturday, star Skeet Ulrich told the story of one 15-minute take where he and co-star Giancarlo Esposito ad-libbed far past where the cameras were supposed to stop rolling.
“The cut starts there, where he shoves me,” he said of the scene, the final version of which does see the pair going at it — verbally, at least. “But in one of them, I shove him back … well, he slipped off of this bank into the water. And I’m like, ‘Oh man, I think I just lost my job.’ So I reached down to grab him. He’s ad-libbing so far, and I reached out to grab him up, and he pulls me in.”

David Morrissey in The Driver
The Walking Dead’s David Morrissey will return to American TV screens on Monday night when Acorn TV give an American debut to the BBC crime thriller The Driver. The three part series aired in the UK last autumn and also features Danny Brocklehurst (Accused, Shameless) and Claudine Blakley (Pride & Prejudice).
The show centers around a cab driver from Manchester whose home life is in crisis. His son has joined a cult, his 16 year old daughter wants to runaway from home, and the spark has gone from his marriage. Vince (Morrissey) sees an opportunity for escape and adventure when an old friend offers him some work. The friend is a recently released convict and “the work” is the kind that can only exacerbate Vince’s problems. Very quickly, Vince finds himself caught in a seedy underworld with little hope of escape.

The consistently great Agent Carter delivers its most exciting, eventful episode yet. Where's its season 2 renewal, ABC?
This review contains spoilers.
1.7 Snafu
As Agent Carter approaches its finale, the pace and plot have been picking up speed, and this episode was certainly the most exciting yet. Knuckle-whitening tension, moments that had you screaming at the characters, and even the death of a long-running (well, by the standards of this show) regular. That's a lot to pack into 40 minutes.
So where to start? Perhaps with the way Carter's betrayal was handled. Even after all that's gone on, her colleagues can barely stop themselves from giving her an easy ride, and the fact that they were willing to let her off the hook if Howard Stark's confession was true certainly demonstrated that. Of course, she didn't help herself by trying to keep the truth hidden, and it's notable that as soon as...

The Walking Dead star David Morrissey has partnered with a trio of established TV and film producers to launch his own drama and documentary indie.
The actor – who has also starred in British dramas such as State Of Play and The Driver – has set up On The Corner with Complicit producer Jolyon Symonds, Senna director Asif Kapadia and James Gay-Rees, who produced Banksy doc Exit Through The Gift Shop.
The company has been established to produce high-end British drama, comedy, feature docs and factual series. It has also struck a development and distribution deal with BBC Worldwide, which will have first look at the indie’s slate.
Morrissey, who is speaking at Broadcast’s Production & Post Forum, said he wanted to have more creative control over the projects in which he stars. He would also like to develop projects in which he doesn’t appear.

We chatted to Ian Hart about his on-screen reunion with David Morrissey in The Driver, Us TV, British film, Agents Of Shield and more...
You’ll know Ian Hart’s face, even if you can’t quite place his name. It’s a great face, his, adaptably young and old, as comfortable atop a tracksuit as it is underneath a period trilby. Since his first real role as Scouse tearaway Rabbit in 1983 drama One Summer (alongside childhood friend and The Driver co-star David Morrissey), Hart has avoided type-casting by leaping from role to role and film to film with convincing ease. He’s played scallies, authors, footballers, drug dealers, psychiatrists, CIA agents, physicists and nineteenth century gangsters. He’s played Beethoven, Nobby Stiles, Hitler, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Voldemort (sort of), and John Lennon (thrice).

New 3-part BBC crime drama The Driver, starring The Walking Dead's David Morrissey, gets off to a very strong start…
This review contains spoilers.
In BBC One’s The 7:39, which aired earlier this year, David Morrissey played a married father of two in his forties, who was unappreciated at home, pushed around at work, and bored with his predictable lot. The way out of that particular rut came in the form of an affair with a younger woman. In The Driver, a new three-part drama written by Danny Brocklehurst (Exile, Accused, Shameless), Morrissey’s character is in much the same situation but chooses crime as his escape route from monotony.
Male mid-life boredom and frustration thus gets taken for another TV spin, this time as the premise for a crime thriller stylishly directed by Jamie Payne (Doctor Who, Ashes To Ashes). Following in the footsteps of Breaking Bad’s Walter White,...

David Morrissey has insisted that he has no plans to abandon the UK for Hollywood.
The BAFTA-nominated actor returns to British screens tonight (Tuesday, September 23) in BBC One's The Driver - having completed a stint on Us drama The Walking Dead.

"I loved being in The Waking Dead - I invest in those long forms. I invest in Breaking Bad and Mad Men and those programmes."
The Driver - a three-part serial from Accused writer Danny Brocklehurst - stars Morrissey as a taxi driver who sees his life spiral out of control when he takes on a job driving for crooks.

The evenings are getting shorter, you've already seen the first festive cards for sale at your local supermarket and The X Factor is back on Saturday nights. To borrow a phrase - winter is coming.
But don't despair, because there is much more to autumn TV in 2014 than Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell bickering over a bunch of karaoke singers. Don't believe us? Check out our list of 17 must-watch shows, which mean that you might as well cancel your plans until Christmas.
1. Glue - E4
A bloke from Rizzle Kicks, a writer from This Is England and lots of horses. It doesn't sound like an obvious hit, but Glue is most definitely worth getting excited about.
Skins crossed with Midsomer Murders and an added sinister, bleak edge, is probably the best description for this eight-parter, which will have you hooked from its full-on (and full frontal) opening sequence.
