TV LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY
The book was a bestseller, and with Brie Larson not only starring in but executive producing the screen adaption, we predict Lessons in Chemistry will be a hit when it premieres later this year. Set in the 1950s, the Captain Marvel actress plays Elizabeth Zott, a scientist thwarted by the patriarchy who becomes the unlikely star of a TV cooking show. When she realises she can reach an audience of housewives and a few men, she sets out to share more than just recipes. (Starts streaming Fri., Oct. 13 on Apple TV+)

Kate Mulvany ‘IT WAS SUCH A JOY!’
IT’S A STORY TO FUEL YOUR NIGHTMARES, BUT THE ACTRESS REVEALS WHY THIS ROLE WAS ‘A DREAM COME TRUE’
Kate Mulvany wasn’t interested in simply portraying a villain when she took on the role of Aunty Tamsin in The Clearing. What attracted her to playing an adult minion who does the bidding of cult leader, Adrienne Beaufort (played by Miranda Otto), is that the series would show her character’s backstory.
“We get to see where she’s come from and what has made her this absolutely horrific character,” the delightful Mulvany, 46, tells WHO over Zoom. “She had a pathway to her villainy from a normal place.”
And while the story would take her into dark territory, Mulvany says the production team made the shoot one of the most enjoyable sets the veteran actress has been on. “It was really, really fun, and warm and generous,” she smiles.
With the greatest respect, you are really creepy in. Can you tell us a bit about how the role came
