Speaking with RadioTimes.com and other press on the set of season 2, Tanika star Natalie Dew gave her own thoughts on what she would want to see in future episodes. "I always want to go somewhere," she said. "I said this in season 1, I was like, 'Why does Rob [Thorogood] not write this one in Barbados?' I would love it. I always fantasise."

In episode 1, she witnessed Pierson carrying out the assassination of Paapa Essiedu's character Isaac Turner, but camera footage told a different story. Meanwhile, Pierson is showing no signs of owning up to his crimes, or even hinting at his involvement – so did he really do it, or was Carey seeing things? We may find out more in episode 3, after the end of the second instalment saw Carey enlisting Ron Perlman's Frank Napier to seemingly kidnap Pierson. Excitingly, The Capture's creator Ben Chanan has teased that episode 3 is the best instalment of the show ever - meaning we can't wait to see it. But when will episode 3 be released?

encoded: As Samantha Bond's character Judith's romance "develops" with Hugh Quarshie's Darius in The Marlow Murder Club season 3, it seems another relationship might be in store, as Jo Martin's Suzie tries blind dating. Bond revealed the upcoming storyline while speaking exclusively with Radio Times, saying of season 3: "Suzie decides to try blind dating. And that's very, very funny, and someone she knows really quite well decides to go blind dating at the same time." Meanwhile, Martin also spoke with Radio Times, and teased that she "may be in a little bit of a love story" this time around. "I don't want to say any more than that, but there's something blossoming," Martin said. "Because obviously Judith has got her little love interest with the great Hugh Quarshie. That's kind of blossoming, and that's great." Speaking about her hopes for the character in potential future seasons, Martin added: "Since her relationship with her daughter's father, she's not had anything. And I think she's still a vibrant older woman who's got a lot to give in the love stakes. "I think she's looking at Judith and Hugh's character, and she's thinking 'I could have some of that.' And I think there's a journey for that." This season is also set to see a particularly personal storyline for Cara Horgan's Becks, as she becomes one of the suspects in a murder investigation. Bond teased that Judith and Suzie "have to suspect her", even if they don't believe she's capable of such a crime. "It also means, because she's on the inside of the investigation and they're on the outside, there's a conflict of, what can they ask?", Bond said. "They do ask things in their roundabout way. And it’s not easy for Tanika, having the three women separated." The Marlow Murder Club is coming to U&Drama on Wednesday 18 March 2026.

encoded: *Warning - contains spoilers for The Capture episodes 1-2.* The second episode of The Capture season 3 is now available to stream on BBC iPlayer, and it picks up after that huge episode 1 cliffhanger, which saw Rachel Carey come face to face with the man she saw kill Isaac Turner. The man is question is Noah Pierson, the new Commander of Counter Terrorism Command and Carey's boss. In episode 2 she pleads with her colleagues to believe her when she says he was the shooter, but they are naturally sceptical. Instead, they are continuing to try and hunt down James Whitlock, who was caught on camera committing the attack. But what is the truth? Carey's certainty leads her to send Pierson for advanced vetting, while the end of episode 2 saw her enlist Frank Napier to essentially kidnap him. The Capture creator Ben Chanan spoke with Radio Times exclusively about Carey's decisions in episode 2, which seemed erratic to her colleagues and, seemingly, to Pierson, who gave no signs of hiding his true nature. Chanan said: "We want to make it as hard for Carey as possible to actually arrest this person, because how could he possibly have done it? Why would he possibly do it?" He continued: "I think most of us would have questioned ourselves much quicker than she does, she’s someone who believes her own mind very clear, she's very, very headstrong. I think I, and probably most people, would almost instantly go, 'Oh, he just looks like the person, he can’t actually be the person because that doesn’t make any sense'. "I think we sort of autocorrect those feelings quite quickly, because they seem preposterous. But Carey is different to us, and she's so adamant that she's right all the time. Is that a flaw or is she right?" Noah Pierson is played by Killian Scott, while Holliday Grainger and Ron Perlman have returned as Rachel Carey and Frank Napier from seasons 1 and 2. Paapa Essiedu also returned as Isaac Turner, although his stint in this season was tragically short lived. Now begi…

description: Quintrell, whose new drama tells the story of a lesser-explored Jane Austen character, is the latest guest on our interview series looking at the art of screenwriting.
encoded: Welcome back to The Radio Times Writers' Room! This time around we're welcoming Sarah Quintrell, the writer behind new Jane Austen-inspired BBC drama series The Other Bennet Sister. Quintrell initially started out in acting, and had roles in series including Doctor Who, Lewis, Doctors and Call the Midwife. Her on-screen writing debut came in 2016, with the release of one-off Channel 4 drama Ellen. The TV film, which starred Jessica Barden and Joe Dempsie, followed a young girl who found herself torn between a new friend and an older man. The film was multi-award winning, with Quintrell being nominated for a BAFTA TV Award for breakthrough talent. The award was won by the film's director, Mahalia Belo. Since then, Quintrell has written on innovative Channel 4 docudrama The Trial: A Murder in the Family, as well as an episode of His Dark Materials, the fantasy series based on Philip Pullman's novels and created by Jack Thorne. In 2023, she co-created The Power, the Prime Video sci-fi series starring Toni Collette and Auli'i Cravalho, which was set in a world where women developed a mysterious new ability to electrocute at will. Now, she brings us a new 10-part adaptation of Janice Hadlow's novel The Other Bennet Sister for the BBC. The series, like the novel before it, tells the story of Mary Bennet, the oft-forgotten sister of Lizzie Bennet from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/03/554975-09d55ba.jpg" width="4281" height="2854" alt="Ella Bruccoleri as Mary Bennet, Ruth Jones as Mrs Bennet, Richard E Grant as Mr Bennet, Poppy Gilbert as Lizzie Bennet, Molly Wright as Kitty Bennet, Grace Hogg-Robinson as Lydia Bennet and Maddie Close as Jane Bennet in The Other Bennet Sister.

description: "I got to write Mary's mum and Mary's sisters, so they're slightly different to Lizzie's experience of that same family."
encoded: New BBC series The Other Bennet Sister, the first five episodes of which are available now, focuses on characters viewers might think they know, but from an angle they most likely don't. That's because it tells the story of Mary Bennet, the oft-forgotten Bennet sister from Pride & Prejudice who is played by Ella Bruccoleri. This means that viewers get to see a different side to some of the most famous characters in literature, with Ruth Jones playing a version of Mrs Bennet that writer Sarah Quintrell has teased is "brutal". Speaking with us exclusively for our video interview series The Radio Times Writers' Room, in which we get to know what makes screenwriters tick, Quintrell spoke about the cast of the series, saying casting director Kahleen Crawford and her team "have done the most incredible job". She said: "Not only are they brilliant, the cast – I mean, I don't even know where I would be in my life without Ella Bruccoleri – but they're also the most unfussy, hard working, just gorgeous, fun people to be around. "We would sit under a little tent having our lunch together outside Longbourn, and everyone was sort of mucking in, and we just had a brilliant time. We all sort of fell in love over that period. When we were casting it, you become so close to the characters when you're writing them. Mary was really, really important to me, and I loved her dearly. And the casting was like, ‘Oh gosh.’ "And Ella walked in the room, I think she'd been on tape a couple of times, she came in for a final recall, and I was in the room, and it was just like, ‘Oh, there she is.’ And I felt so incredibly blessed to have found someone who got the range, who got the humour, who got the tone. She took things beyond anything that I'd imagined." View Green Video on the source website Quintrell continued: "And Ruth Jones! I mean, when Ruth came in… And honestly, her Mrs Bennet is just a delight to watch – so funny, so brutal and brilliant. And I suppose I'm lucky, I got to write Mary'…

description: Did you see it coming?
encoded: *Warning - contains major spoilers for The Madison episode 1.* The first three episodes of Taylor Sheridan's new star-studded drama series The Madison are available to stream now on Paramount+, and they start things out on a shocking note. While we had been pre-warned that the series would focus on a family dealing with a tragedy, we didn't know what that tragedy would be. However, within the first half of episode 1, it became clear. The premiere saw Kurt Russell's character, Preston, taking a regular trip to go fishing with his brother, Paul, at the latter's shack in the Madison River valley. As they return to the shack from one particular trip out, Preston and Paul fly back on a biplane, but find themselves caught up in a storm – one which proves to be deadly. Soon after we see them struggling through the storm, Preston's wife Stacy, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, receives a call back in New York to say that the worst has happened – the plane has gone down and two people have died. The bodies are believed to be those of Preston and Paul, but formal identification is needed. This leads to Stacy, her two daughters, her son-in-law and her two granddaughters travelling out to the Madison River valley, setting up the story for the rest of the season. While Russell continues to make appearances throughout remaining episodes in flashbacks, his character's death this early on in the series is still a shocker – the drama has been sold on Pfeiffer and Russell as its A-list lead stars. The series also stars Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Patrick J Adams, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova, Matthew Fox and Will Arnett. The first season will be made up of just six episodes, with the remaining three being released one week later, on Saturday 21 March. The Madison will continue on Paramount+ on Saturday 21 March.

Early on in the episode, Kurt Russell's character Preston died, leaving his wife Stacy (Michelle Pfeiffer) and daughters Abigail (Beau Garrett) and Paige (Elle Chapman) heartbroken. Throughout the subsequent episodes, they travelled to the Madison River valley where he died, with Stacy falling in love with the land, as it made her feel closer to her lost husband.

Unlike many Paramount+ shows which release episodes weekly, The Madison will be released in two batches, meaning episodes 4, 5 and 6 will all be released together, one week after the first three. This means that episode 4, along with episodes 5 and 6, will be released on Paramount+ on Saturday 21 March. How many episodes will there be of The Madison? There will be 6 episodes of The Madison in total. This is shorter than many of Taylor Sheridan's other shows, which include Yellowstone, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, Marshals and Landman.

Hero Fiennes Tiffin takes the lead as a young Sherlock Holmes in this new Guy Ritchie series, who is at the helm of uncovering a global conspiracy. Across eight suspenseful episodes, the case took on a personal touch for Sherlock as he discovered that a web of murder led back to his own father Silas (played by Joseph Fiennes). It turns out that Silas had been attempting to sell on a deadly nerve agent, which only brought danger and chaos to the globe. But what was Silas actually doing, how did Sherlock's long-dead sister Beatrice factor in and what happened to Princess Shou'an (Zine Tseng), who had been out for vengeance. Read on for everything you need to know about the ending of Young Sherlock. Young Sherlock ending explained: What happened with Silas Holmes? Throughout Young Sherlock, it became clear that Sherlock and Mycroft's father, Silas, wasn't all he appeared to be. In actual fact, while suffering from money troubles some years prior to the series taking place, he had had his wife Cordelia committed to an asylum, in order to stop her from separating their finances and leaving him penniless. He had also become wrapped up in a scheme to create and sell a deadly nerve agent, which had been cooked up at Oxford University and tested on a Chinese village. The programme was paid for by the British government and run by Bucephalus Hodge, but the nerve agent's creator Professor Malick, had turned on Hodge and killed him, in order to sell it to the highest bidder – Silas. While Silas planned to sell this first back to the British government on an exclusive basis, he also intended to double cross them, selling it on to governments around the world - anyone who would pay.

description: Judith met Hugh Quarshie's Professor Darius Gifford at the end of season 2.
encoded: While The Marlow Murder Club primarily focuses on the various cases the leading trio investigate, we have over the first two seasons delved more into their personal lives. The end of season 2 saw Samantha Bond's Judith meet Hugh Quarshie's Professor Darius Gifford, and sparks appeared to fly between the two of them. Now, with Quarshie returning for season 3, Bond has told Radio Times exclusively that we will see their romance "developing" – however, it will be doing so "slowly and cautiously". "Judith hadn't had anything romantic in her life for many years," Bond said. "So, she's cautious. She does engage him to help her, however. So he's quite cunning at being a sleuth of his own, as it were." This season will also feature a particularly personal story for Cara Horgan's Becks, as she finds herself the suspect in an investigation when a murder takes place at her university reunion. Speaking about the storyline, Suzie star Jo Martin told us that her character and Judith "never for one minute" believe that Becks is guilty. "We hold fast, and it gives us that kind of impetus to work even harder to prove our friend’s innocence – hopefully," she said. "But how we play out is that, 'No, she could never.' "And obviously, there's a scene where they take her lanyard from her – and our lanyard is our status, it’s used to get into places – and suddenly we're told we can't talk with her, which really is awful. But do we listen to them? I don't know. And that's a really interesting journey to go on. "Because up front we’re all like 'No, no, no, no', but every so often something happens, you go, 'Could she? No, no, no, no, it’s Becks, there's no way. There is absolutely no way.' But it does test the friendship and if anything, makes us even stronger."

description: The drama will air as a one-off, feature-length programme on Tuesday 24 March.
encoded: Following on from the release of a short teaser earlier this month, the full-length trailer for 5 drama Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards has now been unveiled. The trailer gives us our best look yet at Martin Clunes's (Doc Martin) portrayal of disgraced BBC News presenter Huw Edwards, while also showing us Osian Morgan (Under Salt Marsh) in his key supporting role as 'Ryan'. The trailer sees Morgan's 17-year-old character saying "there's a man who gives us money", while Edwards is told that "Britain has spoken – you are the voice of the nation". The pair are then seen on a video call, with the teenager asking the newsreader what he would like to talk about. "Nothing, show me something instead," Clunes's Edwards replies, as Ryan takes off his top. You can watch the full-length trailer above. After initially being announced as a two-part drama, Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards is now a one-off feature length programme, running for two hours, which will air later this month. The synopsis for the TV film reads: "Starring Martin Clunes as Edwards, the series explores the newsreader’s double life as it spirals out of control, leading him to make the greatest announcement of his career – his total exit from public life following his conviction for serious child sexual offences." Alongside Clunes and Morgan, the drama also stars Ben Bishop (Endeavour) and Clare Calbraith (Grace), who play The Sun journalists Ben O'Driscoll and Victoria Newton. For decades, Edwards was one of the most recognisable faces of journalism, and fronted BBC's News at Ten. In 2024, he pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children, and was given a six-month suspended sentence. Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards will air on Tuesday 24 March at 9pm on 5. Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

description: The episodes are both from the season 3 serial The Daleks' Master Plan.
encoded: In major news for Doctor Who fans, two of the sci-fi show's long missing episodes have just been uncovered, found in a deceased enthusiast's private collection. The episodes, both of which star William Hartnell as the First Doctor, were recovered by Film is Fabulous!, a charitable trust run by film collectors, cinema lovers, and vintage television enthusiasts. The primary objective of Film is Fabulous! is to ensure that vulnerable film collections held in the UK are preserved, when private film collectors and former industry professionals pass away, and since 2023, the team have preserved many private film collections. The two episodes which have been newly found are The Nightmare Begins, which was broadcast on 13 November 1965, and Devil’s Planet, which was broadcast on 27 November 1965. The estate of the deceased owner wishes that he remains anonymous. View oEmbed on the source website Both of these episodes were from the season 3 serial The Daleks’ Master Plan, written by Terry Nation, which also starred Peter Purves as Steven Taylor, Nicholas Courtney as Bret Vyon, Adrienne Hill as Katarina and Kevin Stoney as Mavic Chen. The recovery of these episodes reduces the number of missing instalments to 95, and means that the first three instalments of a once totally missing 12-part story now exist. The two episodes will be screened at an upcoming special event, taking place on Saturday 4 April, with full details to be published shortly. Meanwhile, Film is Fabulous! have collaborated with BBC Archives to ensure that the original 16mm telerecordings are restored, meaning viewers will be able to watch them in the best possible condition on BBC iPlayer soon. The synopsis for The Nightmare Begins says: "The TARDIS lands on the planet Kembel and the Doctor goes to find help for his injured companion, Steven. He discovers that the Daleks are on Kembel and, together with the Guardian of the Solar System, Mavic Chen, are planning to conquer Earth." Meanwhile, the synopsis for …

description: Jones plays Mrs Bennet in the new BBC drama.
encoded: New BBC period drama The Other Bennet Sister may be based on a recent novel by Janice Hadlow, but that itself follows a character from classic literature – Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. The 10-part series follows the "overlooked" character of Mary Bennet, played by Call the Midwife's Ella Bruccoleri, while other characters from the novel are also featured, including Mary's mother Mrs Bennet, who is played by Ruth Jones. The Gavin & Stacey star and creator recently spoke with Radio Times exclusively, alongside Bruccoleri, and revealed that she was actually a "a late-comer" to Austen as a novelist. "I didn't read Pride & Prejudice till I was in my 30s," she explained, "and my initial take on it was that I didn't really respond to it, because I just thought, when I was reading the first 10, 15 pages, I thought, 'What's all the fuss about?' And then something just clicked. And I thought, 'This writing is superb. It's a brilliant observation of human psychology.' Jones continued: "So that was my introduction to Pride & Prejudice. But I had actually done a film version of Emma, where Gwyneth Paltrow played the lead. I was the Bates's maid, so I was working with Sophie Thompson and her mother, and I was playing their servant. I'd worked with Sophie at the RSC, so I felt very comfortable and I was really excited to be there." "I think it was my first film role," Jones said. "And I had two lines, I think I said something like, 'Please come in,' and then said to the Bates's, 'Miss Woodhouse is here.' And then I had to show her in. And then Gwyneth Paltrow cut 50 per cent of my lines. 'Does she really need to say that?' I wanted to die. "And it's made me, since then, if I'm in something or if I've written something, I just know how important it is when somebody's got one line. So, again, Emma I thought was a fantastic piece of writing. I didn't read the book, I will admit, because it was quite dense and long." Jones may have had a bad early experience with Austen adaptation…

encoded: A selection of new images have been released for Richard Gadd's highly anticipated follow-up to Baby Reindeer, Half Man, which has also had its release window confirmed. The six-part drama will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in April, while it will be launching the same month on HBO Max in the US, Latin America and Europe. The synopsis for the series states: "Niall and Ruben are brothers. Not related in blood but the closest you can get. One, fierce and loyal. The other, meek and mild-mannered. Inseparable youth. Brought into each other’s lives through death and circumstance, all they have is each other… "But when Ruben turns up at Niall’s wedding three decades later, everything seems different. He is on edge. Shifty. Not acting like himself. And soon, an explosion of violence takes place which catapults us back through their lives, from the eighties to the present day. "Capturing 30 years in the lives of these broken men, Half Man explores brotherhood, violence, and the intense fragility of male relationships. After all, when things fall apart… it is sometimes the closest relationships which break the hardest." The new images for the series, which was filmed in and around Glasgow last year, show Gadd and his co-star Jamie Bell (All of Us Strangers) as lead characters Ruben and Niall, as well as Stuart Campbell (SAS Rogue Heroes) and Mitchell Robertson (Curfew), who play the characters in their younger years. Also appearing in the images are Neve McIntosh (Doctor Who) as Niall’s mother Lori and Marianne McIvor (The Bombing of Pan Am 103) as Ruben’s mother Maura. In addition to the pictured cast, the likes of Charlie De Melo (Rivals), Bilal Hasna (The Agency), Julie Cullen (Traces), Amy Manson (The Nevers), Anjli Mohindra (The Lazarus Project), Tim Downie (Outlander), Tom Andrews (Feel Good) and Philippine Velge (The Serpent Queen), will also feature in the series.

description: Believe Me focuses on the victims of John Worboys, who was dubbed the 'black cab rapist'.
encoded: ITV new true crime drama Believe Me is on the way, and Radio Times has got an exclusive first look at some of its central stars in character. The four-part series tells the true story surrounding John Worboys, dubbed the 'black cab rapist' after preying on women under the cover of being a licensed taxi-cab driver. He was convicted in 2009 for crimes including sexual assault and drugging with intent against 12 women between 2006 and 2008, with their cases selected from a large number of suspected further victims. The series tells the story of how the victims of Worboys were failed by the system, with a particular focus on two individuals, Sarah (Aimée-Ffion Edwards) and Laila (Aasiya Shah). Both Edwards (Slow Horses, Peaky Blinders) and Shah (The Beast Must Die) are seen in the first-look images, as is Miriam Petche (Industry) who plays Carrie Symonds, now Carrie Johnson, the wife of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Not seen in the images yet is Daniel Mays (A Thousand Blows, Line of Duty), who takes the role of Worboys in the drama written by Jeff Pope (The Reckoning). The series will show how the Metropolitan Police failed to thoroughly investigate the allegations of victims, leading them to feel that they were just not believed. The synopsis for the series says that it will "relate how the Met’s failings effectively left Worboys free to commit assaults undetected for many years; following his trial came the realisation that he was linked to allegations of further sexual offences against over a hundred women." Sarah and Laila will be seen joining forces with solicitor Harriet Wistrich, played by Philippa Dunne and barrister Phillippa Kaufmann QC, played by Rachael Stirling, to sue the Metropolitan Police under the Human Rights Act for their failure to properly conduct investigations into their allegations of sexual assault. They won this case and also won an appeal which went to the Supreme Court, but later had to fight to keep Worboys behind bars at his first …

Now, it has been reported that Billie Eilish will also be taking on a lead acting role in a film, specifically an adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s classic novel, The Bell Jar. According to Deadline, the film will be helmed by Women Talking director Sarah Polley, who will also be writing the screenplay. Little else is currently known about the adaptation, which will be produced by Joy Gorman Wettels (13 Reasons Why), Plan B Entertainment and StudioCanal. The Bell Jar, the only novel by Plath, was published in 1963, and is a semi-autobiographical story about a young woman called Esther Greenwood, who strives to build a career in 1950s New York. As her professional ambitions crumble, Esther spirals into a mental and emotional crisis, feeling trapped under the metaphorical 'bell jar' that distorts her reality and isolates her from the world. The novel was previously adapted into a 1979 film directed by Larry Peerce and starring Marilyn Hassett and Julie Harris, while a potential 2007 version starring Julia Stiles never saw the light of day. Other potential adaptations starring Dakota Fanning and Frankie Shaw were also abandoned. Eilish, known for her hit singles including Bad Guy and Birds of a Feather, has previously contributed original songs to films including No Time to Die and Barbie.

That is because, in the second case of the new run, Becks will find herself a suspect, when a murder takes place at a university reunion she is attending in an eerie manor house. Judith and Suzie stars Samantha Bond and Jo Martin both spoke with Radio Times exclusively about this storyline, and Bond said that while neither of Becks's partners in crime-solving suspect actually question her innocence, "they do have to suspect her". "It also means, because she's on the inside of the investigation and they're on the outside, there's a conflict of, what can they ask?", Bond said. "They do ask things in their roundabout way. And it’s not easy for Tanika, having the three women separated." Meanwhile, Jo Martin said that the trio are rock solid, and that she thinks they "never for one minute believe that she's guilty of anything when things start looking a little murky". She explained: "We hold fast, and it gives us that kind of impetus to work even harder to prove our friend’s innocence - hopefully. But how we play out is that, 'No, she could never.' "And obviously, there's a scene where they take her lanyard from her, and our lanyard is our status, it’s used to get into places, and suddenly we're told we can't talk with her, which really is awful. But do we listen to them? I don't know. And that's a really interesting journey to go on. "Because up front we’re all like 'No, no, no, no', but every so after something happens, you go, 'Could she? No, no, no, no, it’s Becks, there's no way. There is absolutely no way.' But it does test the friendship and if anything, makes us even stronger."

Rachel Weisz's Vladimir makes an unforgivable yet common mistake – it cheats the audience

description: Netflix needs to learn not to make promises it can't – or won't – keep.
encoded: *Warning - contains spoilers for all eight episodes of Vladimir.* Add it to your watchlist At the end of last year, I spoke with the writer Dennis Kelly, known for his series such as Utopia and Pulling. He was promoting his phenomenal BBC drama, Waiting for the Out, when he made the following comment: "My bugbear at the moment is that we are currently mistaking adrenaline for drama. We currently think that adrenaline and drama are the same thing and they f**king are not. "The amount of times you see one of these Netflix-type things – look, I've done this as well, so I'm not slagging it off too much – but someone wakes up and they're in a crime scene or something, and then you flash back, and it's like, what you're saying to the audience is, 'This is boring, right? But don't worry, you're going to see someone die.' You just think, 'F**king hell, that's so lame.'" It's important to note, Kelly wasn't speaking about any one drama or Netflix series in particular. He certainly wasn't speaking about Vladimir, which wouldn't be released for a number of months after we spoke. However, to my mind, he may as well have been. Vladimir, starring Rachel Weisz and Leo Woodall, is a new Netflix erotic thriller based on the novel of the same name, which kicks off with a fascinating sequence. Weisz's character, an unnamed professor, speaks with the audience throughout, and that aspect of the series is present from the off. In the first scene, Weisz's character is seen writing in a cabin. She reveals to us that her students find her out of touch, her daughter finds her "entire personhood useless", and that she worries she "may not be the cause of a spontaneous erection ever again". She then walks through the cabin and we see that sat there, tied to a chair, is Woodall's title character, Vladimir. This is where we first meet him – unconscious, with chains around his waist and his trousers off. Weisz walks out of the cabin as Vladimir wakes and reacts in horror to his situation. "What t…

description: "How can we help them actually connect with audiences that they’re not really connecting with?"
encoded: Netflix co-chief executive Greg Peters has revealed that the streaming service is "eager" to host BBC programmes, and those from other traditional broadcasters, on its platform. Peters was speaking with The Telegraph, when he argued that the platform can help make sure traditional broadcasters' content "gets to as big an audience as possible". He said: "Our job is to think about this from not only the BBC’s perspective, but a lot of broadcasters. How can we help them actually connect with audiences that they’re not really connecting with? We’re eager to do that." The Telegraph article notes that while Netflix does play host to some BBC programmes after they have aired and have been on iPlayer, a closer arrangement could mean the streamer effectively replacing iPlayer. The streamer is reportedly seeking to integrate broadcasters’ channels and on-demand programmes directly into its menu, which it is already doing in France, where it will carry news for the first time from commercial broadcaster TF1. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/09/Small-Prophets-L-R-Pearce-Quigley-Michael-Sleep-and-Lauren-Patel-Kacey.-Credit-Matt-Squire--e9c0b26.jpg" width="7728" height="5152" alt="Pearce Quigley as Michael Sleep and Lauren Patel as Kacey in Small Prophets; Kacey is looking up at Michael in an unimpressed manner" title="Small Prophets L-R Pearce Quigley (Michael Sleep) and Lauren Patel (Kacey).

encoded: Samantha Bond, Jo Martin and Cara Horgan are back as the three members of the titular Marlow Murder Club, with the trio taking on a set of new cases. Bond, who plays Judith Potts, spoke exclusively with Radio Times about the show's third season, teasing what viewers can expect when it airs on U&Drama. When asked what was new this time around, Bond said that the show's appeal was in its "twists and turns" every episode, before noting that "the quality of the writing has been maintained now for three series, and one can't ask for more than that". Asked to tease the three cases that we'll see across the six new episodes, Bond said: "Well, the great thing about The Marlow Murder Club is that the murder is always at the beginning. "So storyline one, the mayor of the council gets murdered and there are all the councillors, and any one of them could have done it. And the twists and turns it takes you on are phenomenal." <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/03/marlow-murder-club-series-3-0d05069.jpg" width="3240" height="2160" alt="Becks Starling (Cara Horgan), Judith Potts (Samantha Bond) and Suzie Harris (Jo Martin) in The Marlow Murder Club, holding croquet mallets and standing next to each other on a lawn, smiling at the camera." title="Becks Starling (Cara Horgan), Judith Potts (Samantha Bond) and Suzie Harris (Jo Martin) in The Marlow Murder Club" /> She continued: "Then storyline two is the murder of a celebrity chef, and who could have done it, and why, or were they in it together? "And then the last one, which is also a wonderful story, is a university reunion for Becks and her friends. And of course, one of them gets killed. Is it one of her friends who's killed another of her friends? Or is there someone else in that house?" The Marlow Murder Club also stars Natalie Dew, Phill Langhorne, Holli Dempsey and Tijan Sarr, while Huw Quarshie also returns in season 3 having appeared as a guest star in the show's second run.
