BBC Canada plays dirty with Footballers Wives; plus gets Bleak

Even before Posh Spice hooked up with Becks, the goal of many a British woman was to wed a soccer star. This new eight-part series, which begins airing Aug. 6 at 9 p.m., follows the beautiful ladies who scored with players of the Premier League team Earls Park. But of course, money and fame isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

Meanwhile, the net has also picked up Bleak House, based on a Charles Dickens novel. Gillian Anderson stars as the mysterious Lady Dedlock, who holds a secret that, as is often the way, if found out would destroy lives. The eight part series begins airing Aug. 2. Both programs are geared at adults 25-54.
