Ryan, Maguire to star in 'Mr. Eleven'

LONDON, April 3 (UPI) -- "EastEnders" alumni Michelle Ryan and Sean Maguire are to star in "Mr. Eleven," a new two-part romantic comedy for British television, the BBC said.

Ryan recently starred on the U.S. television series "Bionic Woman," while Maguire appeared in the Hollywood flick "Meet the Spartans."

Shooting on "Mr. Eleven," a love story driven by a woman's obsession with numbers, is already under way and the miniseries is expected to air later this year, the BBC said.

ITV called "Mr. Eleven" the "perfect opportunity to entice two of our most exciting young Hollywood converts to return to our screens in a classically British love story."
