Courtesy of the Press Association, this is presumably the mini series Michelle referred to on This Morning a coupole of weeks ago.

Keep your eyes peeled over the coming months as a new romantic comedy series heads for ITV1 - boasting an array of famous faces, as well as a couple of ex-soap stars.

Former EastEnders stalwarts Michelle Ryan and Sean Maguire team up for Mr Eleven, a new series about number-loving teacher Saz (Ryan) who thinks she's found her perfect man in 11th boyfriend and soon-to-be husband, Dan (Maguire).

However, on her wedding day, she realises that Dan wasn't in fact her 11th conquest, but her 10th, sending her into freefall. Saz looks back over her love life while flames both old and new wait to see if they'll be Mr Right.

The two-parter is written by Amanda Coe, who has worked on Shameless and As If, directed by Paul Gay (Skins, Whistleblowers) and produced by Nicola Larder.

Victoria Fea, commissioning executive at ITV, said: "This is a colourful, contemporary romantic comedy by the fantastic Amanda Coe.

"It is also a perfect opportunity to entice two of our most exciting young Hollywood converts to return to our screens in a classically British love story, supported, of course, by a stellar cast of favourite TV faces."

The supporting cast boasts big names including Adam Garcia, Lynda Bellingham, Denis Lawson and Olivia Coleman.

Leading player Ryan - who made a splash in the US with the revamp of classic series The Bionic Woman - returns to our screens after her successful appearance in Jekyll last year.

She first made her name playing feisty stallholder Zoe Slater in EastEnders, while Sean Maguire gained the love of the nation with his portrayal of troubled teen Aidan.

He's since gone on to establish himself in the US, with his most recent offering, big-screen comedy Meet the Spartans, going down a storm.

Great ot hear from you, Moxx. I just wish it was under better condtions: (BW not getting cancelled). I'm glad Michelle found more work so soon after BW's failure.

I've been reading the interviews Katee Sackhoff has been doing to promote the 4th and final season of BSG. She seems to strongly hint, several times that the reason BW ended up the way it did was due to NBC's consant messing around with the show.

We can still discuss Michelle's latest projects.

Regarding BW. I think it was Silverman who said NBC is going to learn from the mistakes they made on BW and not repeat them on Knight Rider.

Did you see the Knight Rider telefilm, Judd? I saw some of it. It was an infomercial for Ford. I read at aintitcoolnews.com that the script was written in 12 days. The Sarah Connor Chronicles was in delvelopment for almost 3 yesrs before the pilot aired. Silverman is either lying or is misinformed about SCC.

BW pilot script was written quickly, no doubt. The last few episodes were written and shot quickly. BW was delveloped just like most network shows are. A script is ordered, a pilot ordered. Silverman can't be trusted.

SCC has not been cancelled or picked up for another season. It did go down in the ratings like BW did, though. He's taking a shot at Fox. There's a lot of bad blood between Fox and NBC right now. The same can be said of NBC and ABC. You could say that Ben Silverman is the most hated man in network tv now.
