To celebrate the release of Fifteen-Love, the new drama series streaming on Amazon Prime, we had the pleasure of chatting to the cast of the show that’s set to put the tension in tennis.
The series follows former tennis prodigy, Justine Pearce (Ella Lily-Hyland), who five years after her sudden and early retirement makes explosive allegations against her former coach, Glenn Lapthorn (Aidan Turner). It’s a gripping exploration of trust, power and obsession within the world of elite tennis.
First, we chat to Aiden Turner and Ella Lily-Hyland about the lure of the series, the relationship between their characters and the initial starting point for them, the difficulties of bringing sport to the screen, and why the show will be the audience’s latest binge-watch. Next, we chat with Jess Darrow, Harmony Rose Bremner & Tom Varey about their roles in the show, whether they knew how it would all end,...

Tennis star Justine Pearce and elite coach Glenn Lapthorn, the lead characters in new Prime Video series Fifteen-Love, are works of fiction. Their story is not. After decades of silence and whispers, allegations of predatory sexual behaviour and abuse perpetrated by tennis coaches on young players are finally being voiced, and the consequences finally being felt.
In the new British TV drama, 24-year-old newcomer Ella Lily Hyland is outstanding as Justine, a physiotherapist whose promising tennis career ended at age 17, following an injury. 40-year-old Aidan Turner plays her former private coach Glenn, a married father of two whom Justine reports to the police for multiple counts of historical sexual assault. Glenn denies any wrongdoing, calling Justine a fantasist harbouring a bitter grudge. What really happened in the run-up to the 2018 French Open tournament unspools over six tense episodes.

French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux has almost never steered us wrong with his droll satires like psychokinetic horror movie “Rubber,” about a murderous anthropomorphic tire, awards season satire “Reality,” or insectoid comedy “Mandibles.”
With his latest parody, “Smoking Causes Coughing,” the zany maestro also known as Mr. Oizo takes a puff off Marvel and other superhero IP by centering his bizarre comedy on a band of spandex-clad dimwits known as the Tobacco Force. It’s , even if not for all tastes, which he knows.
The ridiculously named fivesome are made up of Benzene (Gilles Lellouche), Nicotine (Anaïs Demoustier), Methanol (Vincent Lacoste), Mercury (Jean-Pascal Zadi), and Ammonia (Oulaya Amamra). We first meet them by happenstance, following a family on a road trip who stumble upon them battling a giant, rubber-made tortoise.
Everything looks cheesy by design, with Justine Pearce’s costumes stretching over-the-top artifice to its limits thanks to the giant, hulking tortoise,...
