Kathryn Morris UK

11th Hour

CC_100th_430x200 Happy Birthday to KM UK!

And by ‘hour’ I mean ‘year.’ To be fair, I do seem to be posting things a little late recently!

Remember the days when scenes like the above were the norm? Everyone huddled together sharing an important event. They shouldn’t be right now, of course. Danny! Back off!

Some how KM UK has survived 11 years in our little corner of the Internet. So far we’ve managed over 1,500 posts and there are over 70,000 images in the Gallery.

Thank you to all of you that drop by to see what’s going on here.

Not through any kind of design or planning the last few years KM UK has alternated marking Mother’s Day on the UK date, which is back in March, or the more commonly used date around the world on the 2nd Sunday in May. 2020 brings us to the US version, which means we can specifically wish mother of two Kathryn best wishes.

Every post these days has to mention the situation we are all in, it’s part of the ‘new rules’. This does make the whole Mother’s Day thing especially difficult as many people can’t visit relatives. Do what you can though. If you’ve been stuck at home with your mother for weeks then she needs to be appreciated all the more for putting up with you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers around the world.

Cold Case S02E22 – Best Friends Promo Updates

(Sorry for late posting, it’s so easy to forget what day of the week it is at the moment)

I promised no prison images this week. Ta-da!

They are nice pictures too. If you had to use one word to describe them it would have to be… brown The five new promo photos from the Cold Case episode that first aired 15 years ago today (8th May 2020), ‘Best Friends’, are large, high quality and a little different from the norm. And brown.

Cold Case is generally about the people, their stories, and how they viewed events from their past. The squad is not doing a lot of forensic work, other shows covered that extensively, and the evidence tends to be from the testimonies of the witnesses. They often start with just a photo or letter. This time they’ve got a whole truck and a CSU team all over it. Though, even in this case it is a large muddy equivalent to a photo, to gett the ball rolling.

Kudos to the production crew on this for putting together a very convincing shot at vehicle dredged up from a river 70 years after driving into it. Hopefully they didn’t wreck a proper antique truck to achieve the effect.

The case centres around the two friends, best friends, and the bones of one of them found in the truck. Lilly and the team discover a relationship between two women. Very taboo in the 1930s. You’d like to think we’ve moved on a lot since then…

One of the stars of this episode is a young Tessa Thompson. It is her first credited role in fact, though she has said that Veronica Mars was her first job. Since then she’s been in Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, Avengers: Endgame, the Westworld series, and will be returning to the Marvel Universe in another Thor movie. Veteran actor Piper Laurie (Twin Peaks) also stars in this one, she actually was born the same year the portrayed crime was said to have happened. For once the big name didn’t do it!

The new photos from this award winning episode are now in the KM UK Gallery.

The Big One… Oh…

In all the excitement of not being able to do anything these days I missed one of our regular anniversary posts over the weekend.

Amazingly it has been (more than) 10 years since Cold Case was last broadcast. The series-ending back-to-back two parter episodes ‘Almost Paradise’ and ‘Shattered’ were first shown on the 2nd of May 2010, closing out a run of 7 seasons and 156 episodes. A couple of weeks later it was made official by CBS that the show would not be returning.

Despite ending a decade ago Cold Case continues to feature here on KM UK. We are just coming to the end of a series of promo photo updates from season 2, each posted on (nearly) the same day the episode first aired in the US plus 15 years.

And, we are still keeping up with the other main actors in the show as they continue their careers. You can read about them in our regular monthly catch-ups.

Cold Case S02E21 – Creatures Of The Night Promo Updates

Anyone detecting a theme with recent promo photo updates? It’s not planned this way, honest!

I know this is a cop show, and it is not unknown for them to visit people in prison, but to make such a significant part of two episodes running smacks of carelessness.

‘Creatures Of The Night’, first broadcast 15 years ago today, is one of Cold Case‘s episodes that stands out for two reasons. The backdrop is a performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in the late 1970s, this means all the music is from the movie. Secondly, the guest star is none other than Barry Bostwick, star of the very same film. Of course, big star in key role usually means they did it! That way they get to do the big dramatic scenes.

This time out we can bring you six more prison-themed new promotional photos that have been added to the KM UK Gallery.

No prison bars in next week’s very nice set of image, I promise.
