Lockerbie: A Search for Truth (Miniseries Review) | A Father's Relentless Pursuit: The Heartbreaking Truth Behind Lockerbie

A gut-wrenching exploration of truth, justice, and grief, Lockerbie: A Search for Truth is a must-watch. Colin Firth delivers a haunting performance as a father fighting for answers in the wake of tragedy. #Lockerbie #ColinFirth #MiniseriesReview

As someone who used to stay up watching crash investigation shows whenever my insomnia hit, I don’t think I knew about Lockerbie. Somehow the Pan Am Flight 103 tragedy in 1988 slipped under my radar. So I went in fresh and this miniseries hit me like a freight train. From the brutal, gut-wrenching pilot to the poignant finale, Lockerbie: A Search for Truth is a gripping and devastating…

Netflix is so funny. The streamer goes radio silence on their projects for years ::cough:: THE OLD GUARD sequel ::cough::, then turn around and say, "By the way: this and that drops tomorrow."

Or tonight in the case of the new SING short. Did you know there was going to be a SING short? Neither did I. But today Netflix announced that tonight at midnight, the Halloween themed SING short will debut.

SING THRILLER.

What is is about? Well, just that. The gang decides to stage their version of Michael Jackson's music video "Thriiller"

Returning for the short is Matthew McConaughey as Buster Moon, Tori Kelly as Meena, Nick Kroll as Gunter, Scarlette Johannsson as Ash, Garth Jennings as Miss Crawly and Taron Egerton as Johnny.

To prove the global reach of "Thriller" Taika Watiti did a Haka inspired bent at the end of his film BOY.

Taron Egerton's not coming off of his IG hiatus for this, but perhaps he will in December when his Netflix thriller CARRY ON is finally released (on December 13th, to be exact.).

Maybe by December 13th they will release a better poster.

Entertainment Weekly exclusive pictures from the upcoming film (and other KINGSMAN alums goings-on).

Since Edward Holcroft has provided Taron's fans with a few glimpses of Taron since his self-imposed social media hiatus,

I'll give Ed equal time.

Holcroft's Lithuanian limited series A WOLF'S PALATE (which, to date is Lithuania's most expensive sereis) is one of the five series selected to screen at TV Beats Forum's inaugural screening day on November 20th.  The six-parter, A WOLF's PALATE is described as a psychological drama with supernatural elements.

While I await Ed's return to the screen, I just have to be satisfied with his selfies.

Our other KINGSMAN alum, Colin Firth has been absent from screens for a moment, but he will soon be back with the Sky/Peacock five-part limted series, LOCKERBIE: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH.

LOCKERBIE: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH tells the real-life story of Dr. Jim Swire whose daughter was among the 259 people who lost their lives in the 1988 bombing of a PamAm flight over Lockerbie, Scotland (with an additional eleven who died on the ground due to the disintergrating plane). It will drop January 2nd in the UK and the US.

Like Mark Strong, Firth will set foot in the Sherlock Holmes universe. He has been cast in Guy Ritchie's upcoming YOUNG SHERLOCK series for Amazon Prime Video starring Heros Fiennes-Tiffins as the young detective, Fiennes-Tiffin's uncle Joseph Fiennes as his father Silas,

Natascha McElhone as his mother Cordelia, Max Irons as Mycroft Holmes, Tsine Tseng (3 BODY PROBLEM) as Princess Gulun Shou'an, Dónal Finn (WHEEL OF TIME) as Moriarty and Firth as  Sir Bucephalus Hodge (no further character details have been announced).

And while not confirmed, there was a report that Colin Firth will be joining his ARTHUR NEWMAN and MARY POPPINS RETURNS costar Emily Blunt in Steven Spielberg's next film that is slated for a 2026 release.

Lockerbie: A Search for Truth

Colin Firth’s powerful drama about the Lockerbie bombing. The actor plays Jim Swire, whose daughter was on Pan Am Flight 103.

Colin Firth stars in this drama about the Pan Am Flight 103 bomb that exploded over Lockerbie in 1988 and killed 270 people. Firth plays GP Jim Swire whose daughter was on the plane and who leads the search for justice – dedicating his life to finding out what happened. It’s gripping, well crafted and sensitively told, but there’s no escaping the palpable dread in this opening episode, which starts with the night of the bombing.

Colin Firth and Catherine McCormack discuss how they approached portraying Jim and Jane Swire in Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, and the creative team behind reveal what drew them to the series. A powerful story, with casting perfection 🎞️📌

The five-part miniseries seems in thrall to the book. Swire co-wrote with Peter Biddulph, The Lockerbie Bombing: A Father’s Search for Justice. Lockerbie: A Search for Truth aired on Sky Atlantic and is on Now.

OK so.

There are multiple actors in Downton Abbey whose first name was later given to a character. Barring very common first names like Jim or Charles or Thomas, here's a short, non-exhaustive list:

Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith): Laura Edmunds

Phyllis Logan (Mrs Hughes): Phyllis Baxter

Rose Leslie (Gwen): Lady Rose MacClare

Hugh Bonneville (Lord Grantham): Hugh MacClare

Raquel Cassidy (Baxter): Rachel Aldridge, Lady Sinderby

(also, Hugh Dancy and Laura Haddock came later on to play in the movies)

Also shout-out to Brendan Coyle and Kevin Doyle (Mr Bates and Mr Molesley) whose last names might have been inspirational for Peter Coyle, the never-seen crook from Baxter's past. And also to Zoe Boyle (Lavinia Swire). And Maria Doyle Kennedy (Mrs Bates). Wait. How many different "Consonnant-Oyle" people do we have on this show.

Back to the purpose of this post:

If you are ever looking for a name for a character in a downton abbey fic, the closest method is to just go to the list of characters and pick and mash from two actors. I, personally, intend to use Tuppence and Penelope in a near future. (Tuppence Middleton: Lucy Branson. Penelope Wilton: Isobel Crawley)

Edward Holcroft offers up Taron Egerton proof of life.

Taron should be in the middle of filming his latest AppleTV+ series FIREBUG. The project reunites him with his BLACKBIRD showrunner Dennis Lehane and his BLACKBIRD costar Greg Kinnear.

It will also star another AppleTV+ vet Rafe Spall whose AppleTV+ series TRYING just returned for its fourth season.

Everyone in the small town becomes suspects in this terrible crime, divided into several fierce camps accusing each other. Little by little, the viewer discovers the dark and frightening side of life in this seemingly sleepy, backwater town.”

What are the other KINGSMAN alums up to?
