Right from its opening scene – where a suspect is chased under a bus and his head squashed like a jam doughnut – No Offence marked itself out as a gripping cop show like no other. The brainchild of Shameless’ Paul Abbott, it smashes together lightning-paced police drama with dark comedy and lashings of soap opera. At the centre is impulsive detective constable Dinah Kowalska, played by Elaine Cassidy, who we caught up with on the phone ahead of the second series beginning tonight (January 4th) on Channel 4. Key to No Offence’s success, she told us, was the Paul Abbott factor.
“It is like when you really like a band and you are waiting for their next album,” she said. “No Offence felt like his next album after Shameless, even though he has written films and stuff since. Paul’s writing is unique. It is just about three degrees left of reality.

With the upcoming release of the DVD edition of the fantastic murder-mystery CBS series, Harper’S Island, Starlog/Fangoria has had the pleasure of chatting with the magnificent and stunning Elaine Cassidy. Besides playing the enthralling character of Abby Mills in Harper’S Island, Cassidy has also been seen in the beautifully terrifying film, The Others (2001) and the 2003 music video, “The Scientist”, with Coldplay front man Chris Martin, to name just a few.
Born in Ireland, this actress has become successfully known in Europe as well as the U.S. film circuits, noting that, “I think the biggest cultural differences are peoples consumptions at breakfast and lunch times.” With the success of the CBS series, this is surely to be a launching point for the young actress who is expecting her first child with husband Stephen Lord; whom she recently worked with. Humorously she notes, “…my biggest project is currently being baked.
