More news on Bernard Hill this week. Ringer Diedye gives us a heads up to the story originally posted on The Guardian: “ESPN has called in Bernard Hill, who played Yosser Hughes in the 1980s drama series Boys from the Blackstuff, to star in the advertising campaign to promote its Premier League season coverage. The Disney-owned US sports broadcaster launches the TV ad tonight to publicise the launch of its British sports channel, which will broadcast the 46 live Premier League matches for which it picked up the rights after the demise of Setanta’s UK business. Hill, who also played King Theoden in Lord of the Rings, voices an ode to the dedication of football fans to their teams.” [
