Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes joined by Dame Diana Rigg as shooting starts on second series of VictoriaLondon, 27 February 2017: As filming begins this month on the highly-anticipated second series of ITV and Mammoth Screen’s hit drama Victoria, BAFTA winning iconic actress Dame Diana Rigg (Game Of Thrones) has been confirmed as a new regular cast member.The second series - once again written by creator and executive producer Daisy Goodwin – sees Queen Victoria face the new challenge of motherhood.Following critical acclaim for her portrayal of the monarch both in the UK and America, Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) reprises her role alongside Tom Hughes (The Game) as Prince Albert.Picking up six weeks after the first series ended, the second instalment establishes Victoria as a working mother, learning to balance her responsibilities as both parent and Queen. However, with Prince Albert still struggling to find a role for himself there is an inevitable power struggle between husband and wife.Dame Diana Rigg will play the Duchess of Bucchleuch, the young Queen’s new Mistress of the Robes, who is renowned for speaking her mind. She joins returning cast members including Nigel Lindsay (Unforgotten) as Sir Robert Peel, Alex Jennings (The Lady In The Van) as King Leopold, Peter Bowles (To The Manor Born) as Duke of Wellington, David Oakes (The White Queen) as Ernest, Daniela Holtz (Circle Of Life) as Baroness Lehzen and Catherine Flemming (Tatort) as the Duchess of Kent. Below stairs Nell Hudson (Outlander) returns as Skerrett, Ferdinand Kingsley (Borgia) as chef Francatelli and Adrian Schiller (The Secret Agent) as Penge.As well as much drama in Buckingham Palace, the series will include trips to France and Germany, touch on tragedy in Ireland and war in Afghanistan, and see Victoria and Albert discovering sanctuary in the Isle of Wight.The eight-part series and 2 hour Christmas special has been commissioned by ITV’s Head of Drama, Polly Hill and Senior Drama Commissioner Victoria Fea, and will be executive produced by Damien Timmer (Endeavour), Kate McKerrell (Lost In Austen) and Daisy Goodwin for Mammoth Screen. It will again be produced by Paul Frift.Creator, Daisy Goodwin said: “In series one Victoria married the handsome prince, but in this series she and Albert get down to the serious business of living happily, sometimes stormily, ever after. Victoria is the only Queen Regnant to marry and give birth while on the throne and the challenges of being head of state as well as a wife and mother are legion. In many ways Victoria’s dilemma is a modern one - how do you have a successful marriage and a happy family when you are holding down an important job. Can you really have it all?”Executive Producer and Managing Director of Mammoth Screen, Damien Timmer added: “Series one of Victoria was a big success both at home and abroad, and it is a privilege to continue to tell the story of this fascinating woman at a particularly interesting point in her reign. Audiences will be intrigued by the meticulously researched stories Daisy has planned, brimming with scandal, romance and tragedy. At the centre of it is a beautifully nuanced study of a young marriage, and it’s a joy to watch Jenna and Tom find new layers to this iconic couple.”The first series of the drama was ITV’s highest rating drama of 2016, receiving critical acclaim and a consolidated average of 7.7m viewers with a 29% share. It is distributed by ITV Studios Global Entertainment and has been sold in 350 territories worldwide. It has also proved hugely popular in the US, with the first series reaching an average audience of 6.3m viewers and the first episode drawing in a 28% share - more viewers than the first series of Downton Abbey.包家屯退伍青年包家文带领村民养殖“珍珠熊”被骗，主动承担村民损失，女朋友冯晓苇全部积蓄助他度难关。冯晓苇查出身患白血病，隐瞒病情和包家文分手，包家武情断后与同学苏玉玲擦出火花。包家文与伙伴合伙办香蕉农场创业，平静的包家屯却因六合彩而狂躁不安，包家文与兄弟包家武反目。警方打击六合彩，包家武远走河内，村庄恢复平静，开始重建。包家文竞选村长成功，开展土地流转，扩大经营范围，组建龙山公司。冯家与包家宗族械斗，冯晓苇挺身而出保护包家文。包家文了解冯晓苇病情，选择和冯晓苇在一起，苏玉玲心碎。包家文拯救台风中的冯家屯甘蔗，感化冯家。冯晓苇和苏玉玲合力帮龙山公司度过难关，公司赢来丰收，村民受益。包家文和冯晓苇的婚礼最终化解了包冯两家几十年的怨恨。由徐超导演，张子栋、Mike隋、郝邵文、杨爱瑾主演的爆笑网络喜剧《发明大师》讲述了一群“前无古人后有追兵的盖世逗B”在超常人类研究所中发生的爆笑故事。 本剧改编自纷舞妖姬小说《中国特种兵之特别有种》。唉，大哥言重了，兴许阳儿是想要给大家一个惊喜不是？范文轲暗自腹诽，确实是个惊喜，只是不知道你能否承受的起。高凡道：玉米，小苞谷跟进地道完全是意外，这你是知道的，我并没想带走他。本剧根据金庸同名小说改编，讲述了出身卑微的韦小宝如何成长发迹并最终归隐的故事。出身市井、刁钻油滑的韦小宝因偶然知悉宫中秘密，冒充小太监入宫，助康熙擒获权臣鳌拜而成莫逆，又被天地会总舵主陈近南收为弟子，却因陈要其剌杀康熙，令其左右为难。小宝无意中得知康熙先帝顺治仍在世，而被派赴五台山探望，施妙计令康熙父子团聚；并力助康熙，出使云南，成功揭露吴三桂勾结外族和邪教图谋造反的阴谋，助康熙平定三藩，剿灭神龙教；既助罗刹国苏菲娅公主成功夺权，又击退罗刹国入侵，迫使其签下和约。屡立奇功的小宝被封一等鹿鼎公，受到众多红颜知己的青睐，尽享齐人之福。康熙在江山大统后命小宝剿灭天地会，忠义难两全的小宝无奈退隐江湖。
