How to watch Breaking Bad – what’s it about and who’s in the cast?
How to watch the cult-hit crime drama in the UK
As highly addictive as the methamphetamine cooked up by school-teacher-turned drug dealer Walter White, Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad made household names of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, spawned a die-hard cult following and even entered the Guinness World Records in 2013 as the most critically acclaimed show of all time. Is Breaking Bad on Netflix? Where else can I watch it? Yes, all 62 episodes are available on Netflix in the UK, along with the spin-off talk show Talking Bad and prequel Better Call Saul which follows the fortunes of lawyer Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk, in the years running up to the events of Breaking Bad. Enough to get you through a rainy day, then. Breaking Bad is also available to watch on YouTube, Google Play, and iTunes. What is Breaking Bad about? The crime drama tells the story of Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, who swaps chemistry teaching for making and selling (his own trademark blue) methamphetamine with his former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), after a terminal lung cancer diagnosis means he needs to make a lot of money, fast, to secure his family’s future. Turning from henpecked husband to criminal mastermind, Walt's dark side slowly moves out of the shadows as he rises to the top of the criminal heap, making numerous deadly enemies along the way, while also threatening his relationships with those closest to him. With the net closing in on Walt, season five is one of the tensest finales of all time, culminating in critically acclaimed episodes like Ozymandius and Felina. Despite the story apparently coming to a close, the legacy of Breaking Bad has lived on in Better Call Saul and El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. Who is in Breaking Bad? Branching out from his days as Hal on Malcolm in the Middle, Bryan Cranston shaves his head and sticks on a pair of Y-fronts as Walter White, while Aaron Paul plays Jesse Pinkman. Originally a lowlife previous student of Walt, Jesse becomes his right-hand man and grows as the series expands. Much more than just Walt's assistant, Jesse emerges as a powerful adversary. Speaking of which, Walt's most dangerous enemy (apart from himself) is Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring. Despite masquerading as the humble owner of a fried chicken restaurant, Fring is secretly a drug kingpin who runs his own meth empire. Elsewhere, Anna Gunn plays Skyler White and RJ Mitte is their son Walt Jr. Dean Norris is Hank Schrader, Walt's brother-in-law and just so happens to be a DEA Agent who is hot on the tail of Heisenberg. Betsy Brandt appears as Skyler's sister, Marie Schrader. Also caught in Walt's complex web are Bob Odenkirk as shifty lawyer Saul Goodman. Gus is often aided by Jonathan Banks' Mike Ehrmantraut. A modern interpretation of Harvey Keitel's Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction, Mike is a 'fixer' who can get any job done. Jessica Jones's Krysten Ritter is Jesse's love interest Jane Margolis. Matt L Jones, Charles Baker, and Rodney Rush are Jesse's friend's Brandon "Badger" Mayhew, Skinny Pete, and Christian "Combo" Ortega. Later seasons include Laura Fraser as the despicable Lydia Rodarte-Quayle and Jesse Plemons as white supremacist Todd Alquist. Breaking Bad also features notable cameos from Danny Trejo, Jackie Brown's Robert Forster, and Charlie Rose as himself. How many episodes of Breaking Bad are there? Breaking Bad ran for five seasons and 63 episodes. Season one consisted of seven episodes, followed by 13 in seasons two to four. Renewed for a fifth and final season, Breaking Bad played out in two halves of eight episodes. Some of the most iconic episodes include the aforementioned "Felina" and "Ozymandius" as well as "Phoenix", "Fly" and "Face Off". Where is Breaking Bad filmed? Just like its New Mexico setting, Breaking Bad is filmed in Albuquerque. The dusty desert backdrop was home to all five seasons of Breaking Bad – apart from the odd move out of state. There's even a Breaking Bad tour where fans can visit some of the show's most famous locations. Even if the real Los Pollos Hermanos isn't run by a terrifying drug lord, it does serve fast food – but it's actually called Twisters. The A1A Car Wash is called Octopus, and Tuco's HQ is a local coffee shop called Java Joe's. How does Breaking Bad end? **Major spoilers follow** Breaking Bad rounds off with Todd and his Nazi compadres having gunned down Hank in the devastating Ozymandius. Forced to go on the run, Walt has relocated to a remote cabin to live out the rest of his days. However, a change of heart sees him return to Alberquerque to try to right his wrongs. After confronting Lydia and putting the pieces in place to make sure Walt Jr is looked after, Walt storms the compound in a blaze of glory and guns down the Aryan Brotherhood. Walt is caught in the crossfire and mortally wounded as he manages to wipe out the Nazis. With the police on the way, Jesse is last seen fleeing the scene as Walt succumbs to his injuries. Although it's left slightly ambiguous, it appears that Walt dies in the final moments. As a surprise continuation of the story, Aaron Paul is back for El Camino: A Breaking Bad movie. Netflix unexpectedly announced that Gilligan was working on a sequel in 2019. Picking up after the bullet-riddled events of Felina, El Camino focusses on what happens to Jesse next. Gilligan had originally planned on ending Breaking Bad with Jesse in jail, but instead, he's last seen driving off into the sunset after Walt's brave rescue. The movie's first teaser showed Skinny Pete being grilled by the authorities on Jesse's whereabouts, so it's unclear where Jesse has been since the main story of Breaking Bad came to an end. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie lands on Netflix on October, 2019. Breaking Bad facts Gilligan planned to write Jesse out after the ninth episode. However, the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike put the series on extended hiatus. Aaron Paul managed to impress as Jesse and persuaded Gilligan to save the character. Cranston's comedic roles in the likes of Malcolm in the Middle meant AMC and Sony were reluctant to cast Cranston as Walt. The studios reportedly approached the likes of Matthew Broderick and John Cusack. When both declined, Gilligan pushed for Cranston to be cast. Even though Breaking Bad is remembered for Walt's blue meth, scientists have discovered it would actually be impossible to create methamphetamine in such a shade. The meth used on the set is actually blue rock candy from a specialist store in Albuquerque called The Candy Lady. The owner of Walt's actual house has asked fans to stop throwing pizza on her roof. Owned by a woman called Joanne, she's grown tired of viewers recreating the iconic pizza toss scene. Joanne told KOB 4 that she's built a giant fence to stop people chucking their own deep-pan homages onto her roof. For the latest news and expert tips on getting the best deals this year, take a look at our Black Friday 2021 and Cyber Monday 2021 guides. Aaron Paul is known for his 'catchphrase' "bitch" and it is even parodied in his Black Mirror cameo. During the entirety of Breaking Bad, Jesse says "bitch" 54 times. Walt is seen zooming around in his bright red Dodge Challenger SRT-8, which is where one of the show's many connections to The Walking Dead comes from. As well as Merle Dixon having a stash of blue meth, Daryl talks about a "janky little" dealer who has a penchant for saying the word "bitch". The song Negro y Azul: The Ballad of Heisenberg appears in Breaking Bad and Fear The Walking Dead. If all these Easter eggs weren't enough to convince you, Fear The Walking Dead showrunner Dave Erickson explicitly told Digital Spy the two shows are set in the same universe.

Black Panther picks up where the conflict in Captain America: Civil War left off, with King T’Challa returning to Wakanda, ready to rule. But there are new dangers ahead and the young monarch must team up with CIA agent Everett K. Ross and the Dora Milaje, Wakanda’s special forces, to prevent two enemies from bringing down the kingdom. We'll have to wait until 12th February before we get a proper look at Black Panther. But until then, here’s everything you need to know about the cast and characters of the latest superhero film to fly onto our screens. View oEmbed on the source website T’Challa/ Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2018/01/GettyImages-905641942-d5052ff.jpg" width="2400" height="3600" alt="PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 15: Chadwick Boseman attends the 49th NAACP Image Awards - Arrivals at Pasadena Civic Auditorium on January 15, 2018 in Pasadena, California.

He’s played T’Challa before in Captain America: Civil War and also portrayed god of waiting and wisdom, Thoth, in fantasy action film Gods of Egypt in 2016.

Ross after popping up in Captain America: Civil War in 2016. W'Kabi (Daniel Kaluuya) W'Kabi is T'Challa's best friend, and head of security in Wakanda. But he may find that there are dangers that even the King cannot protect him from. Who is Daniel Kaluuya? Daniel Kaluuya is fast becoming a big star.

And 2018 is set to be a big year for him. He will appear in Steve McQueen's heist thriller film, Widows, in November this year. Ulysses Klaue/ Klaw (Andy Serkis) Klaue is an outsider.

Will he succeed? Who is Andy Serkis? Serkis is no stranger to playing Ulysses Klaue – he appeared as the character in Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. This will also not be the first time that Serkis has starred alongside Lupita Nyong'o and Martin Freeman. He joined the former in Star War's films The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, and played Gollum in the Hobbit films with the latter, a role he first took on in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. More recently, Serkis has moved into directing, working on Breathe – starring Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy – released late last year. Next, he'll be behind the camera for Mowgli – based on the Jungle Book and due for release this October. Ramonda (Angela Bassett) Ramonda is T'Challah's mother and close advisor.

From appearances in Holby City and Doctor Who, to her latest performance in Black Mirror episode, Black Museum, her future looks bright. And there is a lot in store for her in 2018. She will appear in four films in total: Black Panther, The Commuter, Ready Player One, and Avengers: Infinity War. N'Jobu (Sterling K. Brown) N'jobu is a figure from Wakandan past. Not much is known about the character, as he is not in any existing Black Panther comics. So, the effect he will have on the Wakanda kingdom is yet to be seen. Who is Sterling K. Brown? Emmy Award winning actor Sterling K. Brown currently stars as Randall Pearson in NBC's Golden Globe nominated drama comedy ensemble series, This is Us. If you haven't seen him in that, it's likely that you caught him in critically acclaimed The People v O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, in which he played prosecution lawyer, Christopher Darden.

Neo-Nazi drama series Romper Stomper to air on BBC3
The Australian TV sequel to the 1992 film starring Russell Crowe will arrive in the UK later this year
UK fans of Geoffrey Wright's controversial 1992 movie Romper Stomper will have the chance to see how the gritty drama about a group of neo-Nazis continues in a new TV sequel. BBC3 has bought the rights to the Australian series co-written by Wright and set 25 years after the film. The six-part series follows a new generation of far-right activists called Patriot Blue, living in today's multi-cultural society. As they come up against anti-facist groups in a clash that threatens to throw their city into turmoil, the enigmatic Kane arrives "with a secret plan and a hidden history". Romper Stomper stars David Wenham (Lord of the Rings), Lachy Hulme (Howzat!) and Sophie Lowe (The Beautiful Lie) as well as bringing back Dan Wyllie and Jacqueline McKenzie to reprise their respective film characters of Cackles and Gabrielle. The original movie, which also starred Russell Crowe in an early lead role, sparked controversy on its release, due to its depiction of violence and fears that it could lead to copy-cat hate crimes. Ahead of the launch of the series, BBC3 Controller Damian Kavanagh said: "It's a real thrill to make BBC3 Romper Stomper's UK home. This is bold, compelling storytelling featuring some of Australia's most renowned talent alongside an array of exceptional up and coming actors." Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, added: "Romper Stomper is vibrant, thought-provoking television that will grip audiences and ask intelligent, relevant questions about the world today.

How to watch and stream the hit drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman
Sherlock has fast become a staple of British family viewing. From winning the Best Drama Series at the 2011 BAFTA awards to cleaning up at various Emmy Awards, its critical success makes it easy to see why. With Sherlock's appeal still spreading, it has now been sold to over 180 territories. How can I watch and stream Sherlock? If you're ready to crack the hardest case of your life, all four seasons of Sherlock are available to watch on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Seasons one, two, three and four and the Victorian special can also be purchased on iTunes. Both YouTube and Google Play also offer Sherlock. Sherlock is also now on BBC iPlayer and Britbox. What is Sherlock about? Based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes detective series, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss's crime drama takes Doyle’s Victorian premise and brings it into the present day for a fresh reboot. Fans might be able to spot iconic cases like A Study in Scarlet, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and the iconic 'demise' of Sherlock with The Final Problem. Moving on from the technology of the Victorian era, Sherlock and Watson use a variety of modern techniques to solve each case. That being said, there was a Victorian-themed special released on New Year's Day 2016. Titled "The Abominable Bride", Sherlock enters his mind palace through the use of drugs. It famously features the return of Andrew Scott as Professor Moriarty and set the pieces in place for season four. Who is in Sherlock? Holmes and Watson are brilliantly played by Marvel Cinematic Universe favourites Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Elsewhere, Fleabag's Andrew Scott portrays the villainous Moriarty. As Sherlock's most notorious enemy, Professor Moriarty is a recurring foe across the series. Una Stubbs plays the long-suffering Mrs. Hudson and Amanda Abbington plays Mary Morstan. Mary is a constant thorn in Sherlock's side but becomes John's love interest, and eventually, wife. Rupert Graves is the grouchy D.I. Greg Lestrade, Louise Brealey is the mild-mannered Molly Hooper. Despite her continuous advances on Sherlock, the brilliant detective fails to realise Molly has feelings for him. Lara Pulver appears as the mysterious Irene Adler and originally poses as a dominatrix. Other villains include Lars Mikkelsen as media mogul Charles Augustus Magnussen and Sian Brooke as Eurus Holmes. Rounding off the dysfunctional Holmes brood, The League of Gentleman's Mark Gatiss plays Mycroft Holmes. Alongside serving as the show's executive producer, Gatiss excels as Sherlock's antagonistic older brother. When is Sherlock set? Unlike Warner Bros.' popular movie franchise starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, the BBC's Sherlock takes a modern approach to the characters that are over 120 years old. Moffat and Gatiss decided they wanted to adapt Conan Doyle's acclaimed creation after Moffat previously tackled the 2007 series Jekyll. Both men had worked together on Doctor Who and turned their attention to Sherlock next. Gatiss criticised modern interpretations of the characters and said they were "too slow". Just as Sherlock was known for using any device at his disposal in the books, the modern show sees him use a variety of modern techniques. Other elements were brought into the 21st Century. While John Watson served in the Second Anglo-Afghan War in the books, Freeman's version fought in the 2001 Afghanistan war. Where is Sherlock filmed? Although Sherlock is primarily filmed in Cardiff, the exterior shots of the dynamic duo's 221B Baker Street residence is located on London's North Gower Street. The BBC made use of the Hartswood Films West studio in Cardiff and managed to recreate much of London's architecture on the city's streets. Certain scenes couldn't be passed off as London and required filming in the capital. Traffic on Baker Street was reportedly a nightmare, hence why production moved to North Gower Street as a substitute. Speedy's Sandwich Shop is located beneath the Baker Street flat and reported a sharp rise in custom after Sherlock aired. There was a large break between season one and two due to both Cumberbatch and Freeman appearing in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and Moffat's continued work on Doctor Who. The lengthy gap between seasons became the norm for Sherlock - leading to that agonising wait between the season two cliffhanger and the season three premiere. Will there be more Sherlock? Despite Sherlock's ongoing popularity, it's unclear whether there will be any more episodes, with Cumberbatch and Freeman's busy schedules having thrown a spanner in the works. Sherlock has always been known for its extended wait between seasons, but it's unclear whether there'll be another run of episodes. In 2014, Moffat said he and Gatiss has sketched a rough plan for season five even though it was yet to be given the green light. Giving an update in 2017, Gatiss warned fans not to expect series five for at least two years. That timeframe has passed and there's still no word on whether Holmes and Watson will be uniting for another bout of sleuthing.
