Shocked to hear noises coming from a cardboard dumped on her driveway, a woman recognised from the noise they were animals and were still alive.
Fearing.
Eleanor Tomlinson’s barely been seen since she lit up the screen as Demelza Poldark in five series of the hit Cornish drama. And each time she has, the role’s been a world away from the fiery 18th-century redhead that launched her career.
There was unhinged Mary Durrant in the 50s-set Agatha Christie adaptation Ordeal By Innocence in 2018, and sci-fi heroine Amy in the BBC’s The War Of The Worlds the following year. But Eleanor’s latest role is surely her most offbeat yet.
Part-alien, part-human, Candy Skov-King is a drug-addicted criminal in Sky’s new sci-fi thriller Intergalactic, which follows a group of space-travelling female convicts. Eleanor’s signature red curls have been replaced with blonde dreadlocks, her face is covered in green scales and – the pièce de resistance – her tongue is long and forked.

They do things a little differently in Russell on Anzac Day. The parade made up of soldiers, sailors and airmen was boosted by fire brigade representatives, Scouts and St John s drivers and medics. There were four standard bearers.
They lined up on one part of the waterfront to march to the Cenotaph which is on another part of the waterfront, to the sound of a sole swirling bagpipe. They were greeted by a sole Māori warrior who laid down the challenge. So far so fairly standard but from here it deviates.
