BROADCHURCH star Andrew Buchan and Hollywood star Maggie Gyllenhaal were in Cannes to promote fast-paced thriller The Honourable Woman.

The former Rivington and Blackrod High School pupil plays Ephra Stein the brother of Nessa (Maggie), a woman who inherits her father’s arms business and finds herself in a international maelstrom as she continues to promote the reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.

It will be broadcast on BBC2 and the Sundance Channel in the coming months.
