Karen Gillan puts on a leggy display in a little black dress as she larks around with co-star Hugh Bonneville on the promo trail for Douglas Is Cancelled


Scottish actress Gillan, 36, took to Instagram on Wednesday to document their time in the capital, sharing a series of snaps in a little black dress teamed with knee high boots.

Bonneville is the spitting image of newscaster Huw Edwards in the forthcoming ITVX drama Douglas Is Cancelled, in which he plays a 'national treasure' who is abandoned by his agent, colleagues and bosses in the wake of a scandal. The black comedy — shown to international buyers this week during the London TV Screenings festival — echoes the ruckus last year which saw Edwards suspended from his job as the BBC's best-paid news presenter. Douglas Is Cancelled was written by Sherlock creator Steven Moffat in 2018, long before Edwards or the Schofield drama, which saw the presenter stand down as the host of This Morning after admitting to an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a young colleague.
