TDP 1454: 5.2. Star Cops: Conflict: Shadow of the Moonlight REVIEW

https://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?sid=tindogpodcast&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l49496 The murder of movie star Striker Torrance brings the ISPF to the Moon's Rothchester-Remini hotel, where preparations are under way for the star-studded premiere of Shadow of the Moonlight, an action thriller where the lead characters are Star Cops. Nathan bonds with iconic star Coral Goldfinch, while the team uncover tragedy and dark secrets beneath the Hollywood veneer. Why is Coral's private security guard obstructing the investigation, and who is sending the star sinister messages? Director Helen Goldwyn said: "This episode brings together the technological and scientific side of the Star Cops world with the world of entertainment that is still going on down on planet Earth. It's really good fun to have those two worlds colliding. One of the best parts of this episode was getting to work with the fabulous Samantha Boffin as Coral Goldfinch, who delivers such a great, nuanced performance." Writer Mark Wright added: "I sent so many emails to Andrew Smith, our series script editor, begging to let me do a Star Cops, because I'm such a big fan of the original TV series. I was 15 when it started; I have very fond memories of running home for 8.30 on a Wednesday night to watch it. So, to work with Andy on the script, and to be in studio with three actors from the original series - who are just delightful and play off each other so well - it doesn't get better than that! "My original inspiration for this story was, there's always talk of the next Bond movie or Mission: Impossible that they'll film in space. I thought, with space technology and exploration expanding in the Star Cops universe, somebody would go and make a film in space. And there's a hotel on the moon where there's going to be a glitzy premiere because space tourism is becoming a big new thing now."
