Matthew Lewis on the Sara Cox Show on BBC Radio1

This morning Matthew Lewis was on the Sara Cox radio show on BBC Radio 1 to talk about The Syndicate as well as much more! The description of the show states: “Matthew Lewis chats to Sara about his latest show on BBC 1 The Syndicate, what it’s like being so good looking and his tattoo of number 11.”

Listen here, Matthew is on at about 1:50:45 and it continues until 1:58:00. You have 7 days left to listen and if anyone has time to do a transcript, please do and I’ll post it with a credit to you.

Don’t forget that the last episode of The Syndicate is on this Tuesday at 9pm and BBC1, this is the episode centered around Matthew’s character, Jamie.

New Photo & Article on The Syndicate

The Telegraph has posted a new article on The Syndicate as well as a new photo of Matthew and co-star Amy, who play Jamie and Amy (Jamie’s sister-in-law) respectively. The article mostly focuses on Denise, one of the winners in The Syndicate. The photo may be seen in the gallery.

In the must-watch but can’t-look Grand Guignol BBC One serial The Syndicate, Timothy Spall is the dreamboat among the male cast members. Among the females it has to be Denise, because she is the only one with a personality. But it has to be admitted that when she got her teeth fixed, there was still half an acre of her outer surface that might still have repaid attention. No doubt the actress, Lorraine Bruce, looks like Keira Knightley in real life.

If you don’t know the plot, here it is. Five employees in a doomed supermarket somewhere near Leeds win 18 million pounds of lottery money between them. What happens next is a mixture of Spend Spend Spend and every other show in which you have seen people of restricted mental capacity having their lives torched by unrestricted wealth.

The Syndicate airs on Tuesday nights at 9pm on BBC One.  There are two episodes left, with the fifth episode focused on Matthew’s character Jamie.

The Syndicate Going Strong

The second episode of Matthew Lewis’ five part mini series, The Syndicate, garnered 5.4 million viewers when it aired last week. That’s up 200,000 from the first episode.   It was the most popular show in the UK on the 3rd of April which is very exciting for the cast and creators!  The show had 23.1% share of the TV audience between 9pm and 10pm!

I was able to catch the first episode of the show when I was in London last week and Matthew was amazing.  This role is far different from anything we’ve seen him do and I applaud him for that.  Matthew’s character will be most heavily featured in the fifth and final episode of the show, so be sure to keep watching!

The Syndicate Reviews

A lovely reader was kind enough to send over a few reviews she found of The Syndicate (I haven’t had the chance to look since I am in London with limited access, like I said yesterday). They are as follows:

But the stand-out turn absolutely came from Matthew Lewis: who knew he had it in him?!

A fascinating and sensitively researched piece, with strong acting from each of the protagonists, the quality of the first episode hints at good things to come, but not necessarily for the members of this fated syndicate.

Matthew Lewis (AKA Neville Longbottom) takes on his first role since Harry Potter as the cheeky chappy Jamie. He’s showing a great amount of versatility in a different role and is really letting his Yorkshire accent shine! It’s great to see him on our screens and it will be really interesting to see where he takes his acting career because there is so much potential there.
