description: Will Harry and Jack Williams' BBC1 mystery be returning? Would the series have a new cast?
encoded: As the beloved BBC crime series finds new fans on Netflix, they may be asking one question: will there be a third series of The Missing? Since the second series of the show aired in 2016, creators Harry and Jack Williams revealed that they were open to another series – but without the show's French detective, Julien Baptiste. Tchéky Karyo's character subsequently got his own spin-off series, and the writers previously told RadioTimes.com that if they were to do more of The Missing, "it would be a brand new story and world". This revelation implied that the show would return with an entirely new lead cast, similarly to anthology series such as Fargo and True Detective. Series one of The Missing starred James Nesbitt and Frances O'Connor as parents who enlisted Baptiste's help in their desperate search for their son, who had disappeared while on a family holiday in France. Series two then followed Keeley Hawes and David Morrissey as the parents of a missing schoolgirl, and Baptiste was once again assigned to the case. A third series of the show would, if it eventually appears, not only recast the big-name actors playing the characters at the centre of the missing person case, but it would also feature a brand new detective. In 2017, after the second series ended, Harry emphasised that a third instalment would need to be a completely fresh story: "It would have to be very different, it would have to not be cynical, and it would have to be saying something new," he said. "Never say never." Executive producer Willow Grylls agreed: "The one thing we can say for certain is that like series two, it would be very different from series one and two." However, since these comments, a third run of The Missing has yet to materialise. The spin-off series Baptiste ran for two seasons on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 2019 to 2021 with a somewhat hopeful ending for Baptiste himself. The series also starred Tom Hollander, Jessica Raine and Fiona Shaw. In the meantime, if you're craving…

description: Don't watch foreign language shows like new series Dark with an English dub. Turn on subtitles instead.
encoded: Netflix has plenty of foreign language shows to choose from - including Lupin part 2, which has just recently launched on the platform. But you don't need to watch a dodgy English-language dub – you can easily activate subtitles and change them to suit, whether that's font size or the language. We'll break down how to use Netflix's subtitle options as well as your devices - which will override Netflix's. So whether you use Roku or a Fire Stick we'll have the advice you need. Netflix accounts can default to the English language version instead of the original audio with subtitles. If you want subtitles instead that's easy to fix. Here's how to change the subtitle settings in Netflix and watch all your favourite foreign language shows as they were intended. Best movies on Netflix Best Netflix series How to change the subtitles in Netflix It's really easy. Whatever device you're using, look for the dialogue icon in the playbar at the bottom of the screen. Tap or click the button to bring up the list of options. For Dark for example you want to switch the language to German and the subtitles to English (that's if you're an English speaker wanting to watch in Dark's original German obviously). If it's Lupin, that's French language and subtitles English. You can also turn on the 'closed captioning' (CC) mode if you need more than just dialogue in the subtitles. And, as you can see, there are plenty other languages to choose from. You can also change your preferred language in your account settings, and tweak how subtitles display in the subtitle appearance section. Some settings menus may vary depending on device. How to unlock Netflix secret codes How to manage subtitles on a Fire Stick If you have a Fire TV remote then you can also set your subtitles on and off using the stick rather than Netflix. Head to the description page for the show, and you'll see Audio & Subtitles OR when you're playing Netflix press the down button on your remote and highlight Audio & Subtitles…

In 2017 she partnered with the show's first-ever Paralympic competitor Jonnie Peacock, finishing in eighth place. Which Strictly celebrity is Oti paired with this year? Oti has already had a rough ride on Strictly - and we haven't even got on the dance floor yet. Having initially been partnered with Jamie Laing, the dancer admitted she was "in bed and in tears" when she heard the Made in Chelsea star had to pull out the show, following a leg injury. However, Oti has now been paired with Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher, who Oti has deemed "incredible". Which Strictly celebrity was Oti paired with last year? Cricketer Graeme Swann. The pair finished in seventh place. View oEmbed on the source website Who is Oti Mabuse? Oti's speciality is Latin. Though she studied Civil Engineering at university, dancing has always been her true passion. Her love of Latin has seen her travel the world collecting title after title, including first-place in German Championship PD Freestyle Latin and winning the South African Latin American Championships eight times. She joined Strictly in 2015, but Oti and partner boxer Anthony Ogogo made a surprise exit in week three after their Rocky-themed Paso Doble failed to win over the judges and the public. View oEmbed on the source website In 2016, Oti made Strictly history with her celebrity dance partner Danny Mac, after their scintillating Samba became the first to score four tens from each of the judges. It was dubbed the “perfect samba masterclass” by judge Darcey Bussell and likened to a “pagan mating ritual" by a very excited Bruno Tonioli. The duo went all the way to the final in 2016 and finished as runner-up. That remains her best Strictly performance, following her ninth week exit …

encoded: Bryan Fuller's delicious TV series Hannibal brings Thomas Harris' iconic serial killer from page to screen, starring Mads Mikkelsen as Dr Hannibal Lecter.

The series is also available to rent or buy on services including Amazon, iTunes and Google Play. Hannibal joins Star Trek: Discovery on Netflix, another show originally co-created by Bryan Fuller. The showrunner stepped away from Discovery in 2016. What is Hannibal about? NBC's psychological thriller serves as a prequel to the likes of Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs. The story picks up with FBI special investigator Will Graham as he tries to hunt down the sadistic Chesapeake Ripper. Reporting to Jack Crawford - head of Behavioral Sciences at the FBI - Will also seeks out the help of renowned forensic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

Shifting between 1986, 1953, 2019 and beyond, the time travel thriller was a breakout international hit when season one was released back in December 2017. And now Netflix has confirmed that the show will run for three seasons. How much can you remember about Jonas's wanderings through Winden? Find out more about season two below. Netflix release dates 2019 Why is everybody comparing Dark to Stranger Things? When is Dark season two released on Netflix? A teaser trailer for the upcoming episodes confirmed that Dark season two will be released on 21st June 2019. The date is significant in terms of the series itself: 21st June 2019 is the date when 'Michael Kahnwald' committed suicide, leaving a message for his 'son' Jonas which started the whole series off (if you've watched the first season, you'll understand why we're being a bit cagey the names and family relations here). Perhaps incidentally, perhaps deliberately, Netflix also chose to confirm the release date on the anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster (26th April). With the nuclear plant in Winden playing a significant role of the events of Dark, the timing seems telling. Dark season two began filming in June 2018. Where is Dark on Netflix filmed?

The six-part political thriller tells the story of Principal Protection Officer David Budd (played by Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden), who is assigned to protect controversial British home secretary Julia Montague (Keeley Hawes). The very first episode throws viewers into a nail-biting stand-off featuring former military man Budd and a potential suicide bomber. From there the tension barely lets up, as the series pushes personal relationships to breaking point against a backdrop of rising terror threats. The show aired weekly on BBC1 in the UK, but is now available to binge on Netflix in the USA and internationally.

It is one of the most important roles in UK government. When it comes to Bodyguard, the job becomes even more relevant, as much of the action revolves around perceived terrorist threats, public safety and possible corruption in the police and secret services.

Others, like Cumberbatch and Brian Cox, were glorious late arrivals, coming in to voice roles long after filming had finished. But it took one person to bring them all together.

That person is Suzanne Smith. View oEmbed on the source website Smith is the casting director for Good Omens. She, along with her small team of three based in north London, manages every stage of the casting process, from auditioning unknown child actors to signing the biggest names in Hollywood. “I'm involved in so many different stages,” she tells RadioTimes.com. “It's consultations between the director, the producer and the studio. I negotiated the deals with the help of BBC Business Affairs.” “It's about looking at all of the roles: making sure that you have actors for each role, making sure the director and producer are happy,” she continues. “I was on it for over a year.” It’s easy to overlook the role of a casting director.

View oEmbed on the source website Day became one of the biggest screen actresses in history, starring in romantic comedy classics including her Oscar-nominated role in 1959 film Pillow Talk. She was also a remarkable singer and recording artist, performing Oscar-winning song Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be Will Be) in the Alfred Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much. View oEmbed on the source website Day made her big screen debut in 1948 film It's Magic (aka Romance on the High Seas), three years after she had released her first hit record Sentimental Journey aged just 23. The actress's screen partnership with Rock Hudson became one of the biggest box office draws of early 1960s Hollywood. They appeared together in Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back (1961) and Send Me No Flowers (1964). Despite being known for her wholesome image in an age of Hollywood innocence, Day wrote in her 1975 autobiography that she was baffled by the idea that she cultivated that reputation. "The succession of cheerful, period musicals I made, plus Oscar Levant’s highly publicised comment about my virginity (‘I knew Doris Day before she became a virgin’), contributed to what has been called my ‘image,’ which is a word that baffles me.

On Thursday 9th May, Baker posted a message saying he had been sacked from his show on BBC Radio 5 Live. The 61-year-old broadcaster's post about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's new baby had been accused of being racially offensive, although Baker insisted that "there wasn't a single thought about race" when he tweeted the message. Baker's now-deleted tweet showed a black and white image of a couple holding hands with a chimpanzee, which Baker had captioned, "Royal Baby leaves hospital". View oEmbed on the source website A BBC spokesperson confirmed to RadioTimes.com that Baker had been sacked by 5 Live, saying, "This was a serious error of judgment and goes against the values we as a station aim to embody. Danny's a brilliant broadcaster but will no longer be presenting a weekly show with us." The presenter offered his "sincere apologies" for the picture, saying, "Was supposed to be joke about royals vs circus animals in posh clothes but interpreted as about monkeys and race, so rightly deleted. Royal watching not my forte." In another message, Baker said, "Sorry my gag pic of the little fella in the posh outfit has whipped some up. Never occurred to me because, well, mind not diseased. Soon as those good enough to point out it's possible connotations got in touch, down it came." Harry and Meghan revealed on Wednesday that their son was named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

The actor who plays Ted Hastings said that the speculation surrounding series five of the BBC1 drama is akin to the infamous hype around US soap Dallas in the 1980s. Line of Duty's current series is set to end this Sunday 5th May – but with the seemingly upstanding AC-12 boss in custody, it's still unclear who the corrupt copper at the heart of the show could be. How often does Ted Hastings say “Fella” in Line of Duty? Meet the cast of Line of Duty series five "For those who remember it’s a bit like who shot JR at the moment," he told presenter Andrew Marr during his Sunday politics show. "You sit down on the Tube, everybody is leaning across and going, ‘I’m not going to ask you because I don’t want to know!’" Dunbar added that while speculation was rife, he actually found it fairly easy to keep the secrets of Line of Duty as fans don't want the show spoiled. "We’re lucky because our public, they really don’t want to know," he said. "Because the twists and turns are what make the show exciting and interesting and so forth. I think in that respect we’ve been lucky." The actor said that he hasn't even told his family how the series, created by Jed Mercurio, will play out. “No, I don’t tell anybody. They don’t want to know either. It’s that good: nobody presses me really to find out, because they know it’s such a big secret," he said. Despite the suspicion surrounding him in the show, Ted Hastings is a firm favourite among viewers, with fans desperate to see him clear his name during this series finale in a tense showdown with newcomer DCS Patricia Carmichael (Anna Maxwell Martin). Explaining why the character has proved so popular, Dunbar suggested, “We like to think that there is someone in charge who sticks to the letter of the law, who has a moral core. I think that’s what’s appealing about the character: at a time where we don’t quite have those people, I think Ted’s representing s…

The author posted an update about the spin-off series currently in development – and added that he would really rather we stopped calling them 'spin-offs'.

Martin had previously appeared to reveal that The Long Night would be the title of the first official prequel series, before later walking back on his comments.

Martin has previously hinted that all of the series currently being worked on are expected to be prequel series. The other shows are still shrouded in mystery, but the author did hint that a little trip back through Game of Thrones folklore might help fans figure them out. "What are they about? I cannot say.

"As time went on, and I was reading the script, I was thinking, ‘I don’t think I can play Crowley.’ And I started getting a bit nervous. I thought, ‘I don’t want to tell Neil that I don’t think I can do this,’ but I just felt like I couldn’t play Crowley." Sheen added that he felt on a "gut level" that he would be better suited to play the fussy Aziraphale rather than the free-wheeling Crowley, but felt "scared" to tell the author that he might be making a mistake. In fact, according to Sheen, Gaiman was thinking the exact same thing.

"Neither of us would bring it up, and then eventually we did. It was one of those things where you go, ‘Oh thank God you said that!’" Sheen added, “And then I think within a fairly short space of time, he said, ‘I think we’ve got David Tennant for Crowley’. And we both got very excited about…

encoded: Greta Thunberg, the Swedish schoolgirl who inspired a global environmental movement, is set to appear in David Attenborough's upcoming BBC1 documentary warning of the damaging effects of climate change. The 16-year-old activist who began the 'School Strikes for Climate' protest joins the 92-year-old naturalist as part of an hour-long documentary on the threats of global warning. Climate Change: The Facts will air at 9pm this Thursday 18th April on BBC1. David Attenborough to present “unflinching” BBC climate change film Louis Theroux meets David Attenborough to talk global warming, animal kinship and mortality “When I was younger I had lots of plans of becoming different things: everything from becoming an actor to a scientist," Thunberg says in the documentary. "But then my teachers in school told me about climate change. That was sort of an eye opener to me." The teenager goes on to explain why she first decided to stage a school strike outside the Swedish parliament in August 2018, and how her action inspired pupils across the world. "My future and everyone else’s future is at risk and nothing is being done, no one is doing anything, so then I have to do something," she says. "So I sat myself down on the ground outside the Swedish parliament, and I decided that I wasn’t going to go to school. "The first day I sat all alone. Then the second day people started joining me. I wouldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams that this would happen. It happened so fast.” <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2019/04/GettyImages-1129360607-d1edaec.jpg" width="5011" height="3341" alt="STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - AUGUST 28: Fifteen year old Swedish student Greta Thunberg leads a school strike and sits outside of Riksdagen, the Swedish parliament building, in order to raises awareness for climate change on August 28, 2018 in Stockholm, Sweden.

encoded: Jeremy Clarkson was visibly emotional during the final episode of The Grand Tour season three as he told viewers: "The show as you know it is ending". Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May will not be returning to the studio tent which has been their home for the past three seasons of The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime Video. How to watch The Grand Tour online ??UK: Stream on Amazon Prime Video, watch for free with a 30-day free Prime trial ??USA: Stream on Amazon Prime video, watch for free with a 30-day free Prime trial However, this isn't the end of the show for good: the trio will be returning next year with a series of Grand Tour road trip specials. The Grand Tour to return for season 4 with a different format that Top Gear fans should love The Mongolia special is The Grand Tour at its best – which is why next year will be all about the road trips Clarkson welled up during the closing studio segment of this year's season finale, released on Friday 12th April. Looking around the cheering audience in tears, he said, "Tell you what though, we haven't had some laughs." “In all of the years we’ve worked together, every single time one of us fell over, there was never any sympathy," he added. "We just burst into laughter straight away.” The Grand Tour’s Jeremy Clarkson: I have enough ideas for five more series As he bid goodbye to the studio audience, Clarkson said, "We do have some good news.

description: The star will be leaving the hit BBC1 show after seven series, saying that she wants to "give more focus to my many other commitments in dance"
encoded: Darcey Bussell has announced that she will be stepping down as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing. The BBC confirmed that the Strictly judge and "British dance icon" will be leaving the BBC1 judging line-up after seven years on the show. Bussell emphasised that her decision was not "because of any upset or disagreement at all", but that she wanted to focus on her other dance commitments. It has not yet been announced who will replace her. Who is joining the Strictly Come Dancing 2019 line-up? When does Strictly Come Dancing 2019 start? Bussell said in a statement that while she was leaving as a judge, she hoped she would be invited back on to the show in the future. "It has been a complete privilege for me to be part of Strictly, working with such a talented team. I have enjoyed every minute of my time and will miss everyone from my fellow judges, the presenters, the dancers, the musicians, the entire back stage team, and especially the viewers of the show, who have been so supportive," Bussell said. ANALYSIS – by Eleanor Bley Griffiths She may not be part of the original line-up like Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood, but over the past seven years Darcey Bussell has become a key member of the Strictly judging panel. The Royal Ballet’s former principle dancer and celebrated ballerina is always on the lookout for musicality and grace alongside technique, and her constructive criticism is usually laced with compassion and a few words of kindness. It is a genuine shame to see her hand in her scoring paddles and step away from the show. But Strictly Come Dancing has been here before. Len Goodman retired at the end of 2016 – and the BBC’s flagship entertainment show was certainly strong enough to survive that transition and the arrival of Shirley Ballas as new Head Judge, despite initial worries from fans. I have no doubt that, with the right replacement for Darcey, Strictly will continue to dominate Saturday nights. "I am not leaving because of any upset or disagreeme…
