Pushing Daisies just got a little sexier! Star Anna Friel and her Daisies character Charlotte “Chuck” Charles have been named the sexiest female on television. According to the Hallmark Channel (UK), 1,600 people were polled and 20% were in favor of our girl!

According to the Hallmark Channel (who also announced that Doctor Who’s David Tennant is the sexiest male):

“Our ongoing research into what makes great gripping drama has revealed that a sexy male or female lead can make a real difference to the success of a new series.

“If you were creating the ideal on-screen TV couple it would arguably be David and Anna, but you wouldn’t want to see them doing anything that distracts from the plot!”

Congratulations Anna from all of us here at ThePieMaker.com

If you’re a fan of PUSHING DAISIES then be sure to check back with ThePieMaker.com on Monday, May 12th for a very special announcement.  We’ve teamed up with the folks over at PUSHING DAISIES to bring you something we think you’ll really enjoy.

Lee Pace has been nothing if not the man of the press these past few months. In addition to traveling the world promoting PUSHING DAISIES, Lee has also been on the interview circuit talking about his new movie THE FALL. In this interview with Metromix, Lee touches on the network’s involvement in the show and the type of movie roles he isn’t interested in pursuing.

You mentioned the failure of “Wonderfalls” earlier. Did you feel like it was an uphill battle against the network while making the show?
We were all trying to do our best on it, but everyone knew that there was a fight with Fox, that Fox did not like the lesbian storyline. We were also on the same year “The O.C.” premiered. We would do a whole episode, and then the cast would ask [the network], “Is there anything we can do differently?” And they were like, “No, you’re great!” But you know that there were probably ten executives on the set of “The O.C.” debating whether or not Mischa Barton should wear espadrilles.

So has “Pushing Daisies” been a more positive TV experience?
Look, [the network execs] still have opinions. I think the idea of the show really works, and it makes people feel good, and the executives have got really great ideas. Everyone’s pitching in and trying to let it be as good as it can be, and part of that is making it maybe a little less weird. It doesn’t have to be so bizarre that it turns people off. I mean, it’s a pie maker who touches dead things back to life! It’s a weird idea already, so any way we can make it palatable is good, I think.

As much as I adore Lee and the rest of the cast I am dying for some real PUSHING DAISIES news. Comic Con is not too far away.
