Martina Cole turns TV presenter
30.04.08 Anna Richardson
Martina Cole is to examine the stories of female serial killers in a new series for ITV3. In the six-part “Martina Cole’s Ladykillers”, each 60-minute episode will feature a high-profile case.
The show will include a criminological perspective and will feature both contemporary and historical stories and reconstructions, according to TV production company Free@Last.
The series is scheduled to air on ITV3 in autumn 2008.
The news follows an announcement by Sky One that the channel is adapting two of Cole’s bestellers, The Take and The Graft, published by Headline. Filming will begin later in the year, and “The Take” is to air first in 2009 in four 60-minute episodes.
A further two Martina Cole novels are also being developed by Sky One and the production company Warner Sisters. Cole has sold more than 4.8m copies of her books through Nielsen BookScan in the UK.
