Charles Dance on Commander Denniston: ‘He takes an instant dislike to Turing’
The Imitation Game character profiles
The Imitation Game - behind-the-scenes making of the film
He basically ran Bletchley Park. But he ran it rather like a boarding school – he treated the cryptographers rather like naughty boys. He didn't really understand what they were doing and I think he was rather intimidated – certainly by Alan Turing's intellectual ability, which was far superior to Denniston's.
When Turing first arrives at Bletchley to be interviewed – even though I can see he's immensely well-qualified, as a mathematician – for some reason, Denniston takes an instant dislike to him. A character like Turing will put a character like Denniston very much on the defensive.
I think he realises immediately that Turing is a much brainier beast than he is, but he has to admit that Turing is a very, very clever man. But he thinks there are others equally clever, not least Hugh Alexander, who he appoints as head of the unit, rather smugly announcing that this man won Britain's national chess championship. It's a kind of pheromone thing as well, this dislike of Alan Turing, and it gives great tension to the piece.

Charles will be in the cast of Childhood’s End...and about Retrospective
Syfy’s ambitious miniseries adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s sci-fi classic Childhood’s End....
The six-hour miniseries follows a breed of aliens called the “Overlords,” who manage to peacefully invade and rule Earth, and create a pseudo-utopia that comes at the price of human identity and culture.
Dance plays Karellen, the ambassador for the Overlords who makes first contact with Earthling Ricky Stormgren (not yet cast). We’re told that “Karellen’s comforting words and amazing technological gifts quickly win humanity’s favor, beginning decades of apparent utopia at the cost of human identity and culture. However, his refusal to reveal his physical appearance and insistence on dealing only through Ricky have some people questioning whether his intentions are truly benevolent
The miniseries will premiere on Syfy next year.

Based on the short-story by Kevin Wignall, Retrospective is a twenty-minute short-film due out this December. We recently met with director Garrick Hamm to discuss style and substance that brought it to screen.
...So when we came to do Retrospective, I wanted to take the same strategy. We had a couple of people in mind and Charles Dance was on top of the list. I was lucky enough that my producer knew him, and had worked on a film with him before. So we found out where he was on location shooting Game Of Thrones, so we sent him a script. After hearing nothing for over two weeks, apart from a text message saying I am not so sure. So we were like 'oh dear, this isn't very good...' - but then he sent back a charming letter saying that he would like to do it, but he would like to work with you on it. So he spent a lot of time with the dialogue and helping with his input. Once you got your main actor, the rest sort of follow in. So Emelia, I knew who luckily would carry on with this film as well. Charles brought Vincent [Regan], so bringing the hard-man with him as it were.
had seen Charles in lots of his films, I had particularly liked him in Aliens - which is one of my absolute favourites with him, and Thrones, I think he is amazing in that at the moment.
Retrospective will be available via Shorts TV and iTunes in December:

All about Miss Boorman work from her site
What sort of women am I attracted to?
Beautiful ones! Of course I am being facetious. I like independence, I like strong women, women who survive and thrive in what is still a male-dominated world in most professions. I think that description fits my ex-wife and my former fiancée, Eleanor [Boorman, with whom he has a daughter, Rose, 3].
Fatherhood is great, and Rose is fantastic. Having her has awakened paternal feelings in me despite the unshakable love I have for my grown-up daughter. Rose is as bright as a button, and despite our age difference I hope I will have a few more years so that I can see her grow from child to adulthood.
"Eleanor is a member of the Chelsea Arts Club and has a two year old daughter Rose, with Actor Charles Dance, on which Eleanor comments, ‘my daughter Rose was, for me, the greatest creative experience... ...."

name of Charles mother : Eleanor
September 2010 : Six years after his divorce, Charles Dance is to marry an artist 26 years his junior. The 63-year-old star tells Mandrake that he is to tie the knot with Eleanor Boorman, 37, "sooner rather than later".
Dance says: "I have got used to the bachelor life over the last six years so now I am in the process of de-bachelorising myself - but it will happen shortly." Boorman, a former model, who has been courted by Dance for three years, told me at the first night of Krapp's Last Tape at the Duchess Theatre that she has "scattered some cushions" in an attempt to help.
Mandrake disclosed last month that Dance had told friends Boorman was "the one"' and that there was an expectation that they would marry before the year was out. The couple assure me that the wedding will be "a small and private affair for closest friends and family".

The great fire...is on youtube
1st part
For Charles Dance, there was much pleasure to be had in playing a baddie. ‘Denton believes absolutely in what he’s doing. In his mind, it’s highly likely there’s a Catholic plot against the King and he’s determined it won’t succeed.’
Lord Denton is a fictional character although based on real people at the time. ‘He’s effectively head of security for Charles II, the modern equivalent, I suppose, of the boss of MI5, and there was a real need for him. Denton worked for Charles I before he’d had his head chopped off on the orders of Oliver Cromwell and he’s never lost his loyalty to the monarchy.’

Ah! ah! ah!
"No I don't need you to hold my umbrella. I can't take the risk of anything that could be used as a weapon falling into the hands of anyone who isn't a Lannister. And, frankly, any one of several who ARE Lannisters"
