Filmmaker Abdi Shuria has opened up about his latest project titled 'Black and Blue' which, unlike his previous films, takes a swipe at Kenyan policemen and their notoriety culture. The series, which is set to premiere next month, is an original police-based mockumentary series that revolves around the Kenyan police and their notoriety way of life in the line of duty. "The idea for Black & Blue came to me as I reflected on my many interactions with the Kenyan police, which in the past have not always been positive. I have always believed that where there is tragedy, there is humor. For me, humor is cathartic - it's like a stress reliever. I asked myself, 'How can I take these negative experiences and inject humor as a tool to explore, discuss, and entertain?' and this is what I came up with." Abdi Shuria says. The series follows an Office Commanding Station (OCS) which, in a bold attempt to rebrand the bad image of the police and appeal to the public, the Kenya Police recruits a civilian as an Officer Commanding Station (OCS). This new OCS brings a unique civilian perspective to policing and turns things upside down at the experimental station. A documentary team is hired to follow and document the process, but inadvertently exposes the behind-the-scenes shenanigans of the police as they struggle to adapt to the new reforms. Kalasha winner Gitura Kamau (Lusala) stars as the charismatic OCS. The talented ensemble cast includes Lydia Gitachu of Kina, Kalasha winner Annstella Karimi (Baba Twins, Sue na Jonnie), Collins Koyo (Asha), Hillary Wamiti (Sense8), Andrew Ng'ang'a (Escape from Mogadishu), Dennis Mutisya (Varshita, Shanga), Mwajuma Belle (Poacher, The Call) and Lawrence Kimani (Varshita, Njoro wa Uba). Abdi Shuria has previously directed the thriller series Igiza, as well as  Faithless which streams on Showmax

CRICKET fans were delighted to hear the murmur of the great David Gower during England’s tour of Pakistan this month.

Gower has briefly returned to our Sky Sports feed after he was axed more than five years ago.

The cricket legend joined the world feed commentary for England’s three test matches in Pakistan.

Gower, 67, bid farewell to the Sky Sports commentary box after the conclusion of the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval in 2019.

It came after Sky decided not to renew his contract.

He said he had been “retired” and pointed reference to “modern pressures” about what sort of person gets to have their face on telly.

He and Sir Ian Botham, who was also axed, had become synonymous covering England’s escapades on the cricket pitch for more than 20 years.

At the time, Gower OBE suggested “ageism” was at play but Bob Willis, 70, and David Lloyd, 72, were briefly kept on.

But Gower, who first forayed into his media experiences on 1990s comedy sports quiz show They Think It’s All Over, is now back on the mic.

Although Gower hasn’t been formally hired by Sky again, he has been gifting fans on the world feed commentary.

Sky is showing coverage from a Pakistan host broadcaster, for whom Gower is one talent booking.

The former England captain has worked in Pakistan regularly since leaving Sky.

Gower played 117 Test matches and 114 One Day Internationals, scoring 8,231 and 3,170 runs, respectively.

He first returned to commentary for BT Sport in the 2021–22 Ashes series.

The Kent-born former cricketer played for Leicestershire and Hampshire domestically.

Fans were delighted to hear him again, with one writing: “David Gower got to be the best test cricket commentator.”

A second said: “The last of the legends!”

Another added: “Is that the honourable Sir David Gower on commentary.”

Meanwhile, England are currently facing a tricky spell after Pakistan took a first-innings lead of 77, after being bowled out at 344 runs in the final Test.

The series is currently level at 1-1, after Pakistan won the second Test by 152 runs.

This came after England’s record breaking first Test, where Joe Root and Harry Brook set a new record for the highest Test Partnership in the nation’s history.
