"Next out of the Thorne pipeline is Channel 4's forbidden romance Falling, with Keeley Hawes and Paapa Essiedu, and the film Enola Holmes 3, which will be followed by the small matter of Sam Mendes' four Beatles biopics. As Thorne's new BBC adaptation of Lord of the Flies arrives, we've rated his 20 TV projects so far. Surely he's overdue a holiday?"
"A rare misfire saw Thorne penning a moody Netflix musical drama for director Damien Chazelle about a bereaved jazz pianist running a struggling Paris nightclub. With dialogue in French, English, Arabic and Polish, it was as confusing as it was chin-strokey. 19. The Accident (2019) This Channel 4 miniseries followed a south Wales community's fight for justice after local teens were killed in an explosion at a building site. It was rousing and righteous, but was let down by Sarah Lancashire's wobbly Welsh accent."
Jack Thorne commands an extensive output across television, theatre and film, credited with many notable UK TV dramas over two decades. Upcoming work includes Channel 4's Falling, the film Enola Holmes 3, and Sam Mendes' planned four Beatles biopics, alongside a BBC adaptation of Lord of the Flies. Career highlights include bold experiments and divisive entries. The Eddy is described as a multilingual Netflix musical misfire; The Accident dramatizes a Welsh community's search for justice but suffers performance and pacing flaws; Cast Offs earns praise for dark humour and transgressive storytelling.
