description: Ready to board The Polar Express? Read on for the latest streaming information.
encoded: With Christmas Day upon us, film fans will no doubt be drawing up their Christmas watchlists, and many are sure to put Robert Zemeckis's film The Polar Express right near the top. The 2004 movie, which adapts Chris Van Allsburg’s 1985 children’s tale, tells the story of a young boy who has become sceptical about the existence of Father Christmas, but eventually has his faith in Santa restored when he is invited to take a journey to the North Pole on a magical train. The film was perhaps best known at the time for its groundbreaking work using performance capture CGI, which may, to modern eyes, look dated, and fall somewhat into the uncanny valley, but remains a milestone when it comes to the development of techniques which are now commonplace. The film stars Tom Hanks in multiple roles, with the actor himself saying in an interview with IGN FilmForce back in 2004: "There's only so much that I can internally grasp as an actor, and on the day of tests that we did, I played five or six or seven roles in the course of that day, and I said, 'Bob, I'm exhausted here.' "So in my mind, I had a track on the five characters that I played. I could understand the differences between them all and I understood how they related to the boy and I understood what the boy's perceptions of them were." Though the film may have been somewhat tainted by time when it comes to its visuals, it still remains a nostalgic, beloved watch for many, with its uplifting message and ear-worm-filled soundtrack. However, if you're planning to watch the film this year, how would you do so, and when will it air on TV? Here's everything you need to know. Is The Polar Express on TV this Christmas 2025? Unfortunately The Polar Express will not be showing on any of the free broadcasters this year, but if you're a subscriber to Sky Cinema and NOW, you can watch it as part of their Christmas line-up. If you are a Sky customer, you can catch the film on Sky Cinema Select on Christmas Day at 11:15am, while if yo…

encoded: Since the award was created by French football magazine L'Équipe in 1956, the Ballon d'Or has been a benchmark for greatness – the ultimate standard for the world's best footballers. There are countless excellent players across the men's and women's games, but there are far fewer truly elite players roaming the planet in 2025. Ousmane Dembele, Mohamed Salah and Lamine Yamal are among the top contenders for the men's gong, while Aitana Bonmati leads a tight race for her third successive award. The winner is determined by a criteria of individual and team success over the last year, so there's no surprise to see the last decade or so has been dominated by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. RadioTimes.com brings you the full list of Ballon d'Or winners through the ages. Who won the Ballon d'Or last year? Last year's Ballon d'Or went to Rodri, who led Spain to glory at Euro 2024. The win marks the iconic striker's eighth prize. In the Féminin category, Aitana Bonmatí claimed the top spot for the second year in a row.

description: The starry casting announcements have started to steadily pour in.
encoded: Only Murders in the Building returns this week, injecting some cosy warmth into our viewing schedule as summer begins to wind down. The hit comedy-drama features Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, plus a slew of other major stars, and takes a light-hearted approach to the tried and tested murder-mystery genre. But for all the gags and comedic sequences the show usually delivers, we can also expect some emotional moments too as the characters grieve for their beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca). He met his fate not long after the trio closed their investigation into the murder of Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), a longtime friend to Charles (Martin) – so the gang have faced two devastating losses in as many years. These increasingly severe storylines lend credence to the theory that the show is building up to a climactic end, with Short assuring fans in a Variety interview that the creatives will "know when it feels like it's past its time". If you're excited for their next case, read on for everything you need to know about this week's launch of Only Murders in the Building season 5 on Disney Plus. Only Murders in the Building release date Only Murders in the Building season 5 premieres on Tuesday 9th September on Disney Plus. The season will kick off with a triple-bill launch, before slipping into the typical schedule of one episode per week, teasing out the latest murder mystery over approximately two months. It's not yet known whether this will be the last hurrah for the hapless podcasters, with series co-creator John Hoffman previously expressing a desire to keep Only Murders going. However, the reality is that few scripted comedies or dramas have made it past five seasons on streaming, which is a business model more focused on launching new shows than nurturing existing ones. Nevertheless, Hoffman told ScreenRant: "I really mean it – this is one of those shows [where] everyone involved in it is so happy doing it – and I know I speak for the trio and every…

Reprising his role from the original movie franchise, Warwick Davis will play Professor Flitwick.

description: The fantasy drama reaches its conclusion this summer.
encoded: At long last, The Sandman has returned for its second – and final – season on Netflix, which concludes the story of Endless being Dream (played by Tom Sturridge). The original comics by Neil Gaiman took a more anthological approach, featuring a revolving door of characters drawn into Dream's world by extraordinary circumstances, but the show has trimmed many of these tales for a more streamlined narrative. According to showrunner Allan Heinberg, this has allowed The Sandman season 2 to serve as a natural endpoint to the fantasy saga, but some fans are understandably sceptical given that the source material spans 10 epic volumes. Early reviews for the latest episodes have been mixed so far, with The Guardian and The Independent hitting them with two-star ratings, while The Telegraph and Collider have had more positive things to say. As mentioned, The Sandman is based on a comic book series by well-known fantasy author Gaiman, who has been accused of sexual assault, which he has strongly denied. A total of nine women have spoken out against the writer, with their accusations being detailed in a Vulture article published in January 2025, and in a Tortoise Media podcast released in July 2024. Allegations included claims that Gaiman engaged them in "rough" sex and BDSM without their consent. The novelist has firmly denied any non-consensual or illegal conduct in a statement. He said: "As I read through this latest collection of accounts, there are moments I half-recognise and moments I don't, descriptions of things that happened sitting beside things that emphatically did not happen. "I'm far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever." Here's everything you need to know about The Sandman season 2 on Netflix.

encoded: Gary Windass's time on Coronation Street could be coming to an end in a heartbreaking storyline. A shocking twist finally reveals his fate following his disappearance – he's in a coma and fighting for his life at Weatherfield General. Gary, who is played by Mikey North, left town after being manipulated by Lou, but his wife Maria was worried when he didn't return for Liam's birthday. And, as it turns out, she was right to be concerned, even if she doesn't know yet that Gary is in critical condition. But what happened to him? "Upcoming episodes will delve deeper into the events that led to his hospitalisation, uncovering secrets and revealing the identity of those involved," ITV teased. But, more importantly, will he survive? Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria, said of the storyline: "Maria and Gary are going through a bit of a rough patch at the minute, and initially she’s upset that he’s left but doesn’t think too much into it. "As soon as Gary misses Liam’s birthday, she has a gut feeling that something isn’t right and fears something awful might have happened to him. "Maria’s mind is spiralling, but she doesn’t stop for a second to think who actually attacked Gary, [though] she’s aware he has a lot of enemies from over the years who could have potentially wanted to take revenge on him." Future episodes are set to reveal who is responsible, and whether Gary will make it through to see them brought to justice.

encoded: Almost three decades after she left EastEnders, Karen Henthorn is set to return to Albert Square in her role as Julie. Henthorn will reprise the role of Julie Bates, Nigel's (Paul Bradley) estranged wife, this summer, 27 years after the character's last appearance. Henthorn and Bradley exited the soap in 1998 after their characters left the Square to pursue a new life together in Scotland. Bradley returned as Nigel last year on Christmas Eve, eventually revealing he had left Julie because he didn't want his dementia to become a burden to her. Viewers have already had a voice cameo from the character when Nigel listened to a voicemail she left him in January. However, this week, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) tried to convince Nigel's friend and carer, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), to contact Julie against Nigel's wishes, to help Phil cope as he struggles. Speaking of her return, Henthorn said: "It’s very surreal to be back in Albert Square after 27 years and working with the delightful Paul Bradley again - it’s scary how fast the time has gone! "Julie has got some awful surprises ahead of her after the initial relief she feels to discover Nigel is still alive. "It’s been great to film with Paul and Steve (McFadden), who are such lovely actors, as Julie discovers Nigel’s dementia diagnosis and why he chose to hide it from her." Executive producer Ben Wadey added: "We are delighted to have Karen Henthorn returning to reprise her role as Julie, who arrives looking for Nigel. "Julie hasn’t seen Nigel in almost two years and is unaware of his diagnosis and reasons for leaving, so her arrival will pose questions for the pair of them." Fans won't have long to wait until Julie meets up with Nigel again - but will they fully reunite? Outside of EastEnders, British actress Karen Henthorn is best known for her role as the fiery Teresa Bryant in Coronation Street from 2008 to 2010. Henthorn has also starred in The Booze Cruise, Doctors, Shameless, Trollied, Vera, Time, In the Fles…

The actress joined the cast in 2023, and her storylines have included being revealed as Cindy Beale's daughter, a harrowing spiking ordeal, and an ongoing love triangle with Bobby Beale and Freddie Slater. “We can confirm that Molly Rainford will be leaving EastEnders later this year, and we wish her all the best for the future,” the BBC told RadioTimes.com in a statement. Bobby Brazier, who plays Freddie, is also set to leave the soap, but it's unclear at this stage if the pair will be written out together. Prior to her role on the BBC soap, Rainford was best known for her stint competing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, and for playing the title role in CBBC series Nova Jones. News of the latest cast exit comes as the Queen Vic's future is still very much up in the air, with the pub rumoured to be changing ownership in the next few episodes. Linda Carter (played by Kellie Bright) and her mum Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe) have been in charge of the pub since 2013, more or less.

encoded: Dame Maureen Lipman is set to return to Coronation Street after a planned break. The actress, who has been playing Tyrone Dobbs's (Alan Halsall) grandmother Evelyn Plummer since 2018, announced she would be taking some time out from the soap last summer. "I’ll be absent for a while, and then coming back. I’m not going to die but then I’ll be in and out of it because I want to have a bit of a life," Lipman said at the time. The actress, who is 79, had recently got engaged to partner David Turner, and was taking part in Richmond Theatre's annual pantomime. Lipman had reassured fans at the time that her character wouldn't be killed off, with the door left open for her to return. Instead, Evelyn decided to study law and was last seen looking for accommodation. The Sun now reports that she'll be back on the cobbles very soon, though it appears not to be in a long-term capacity and will rather see Evelyn "pop back in from time to time". Evelyn's return will come as welcome news to Corrie fans, after a number of high-profile character exits over the last couple of months, including Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) and Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver), and more believed to be on the way. Elsewhere, it was reported last week that two current stars have extended their contracts on the ITV soap, with Jodie Prenger (Glenda Shuttleworth) and Sam Robertson (Adam Barlow) committing their futures to the cobbles.

encoded: Daisy Campbell has joined the Casualty cast for a guest role following her recent Emmerdale exit. "Daisy will be on Casualty for this weekend's episode and will play the guest character of Georgina Birch," the BBC confirmed in a statement. Digital Spy reports Georgina's character is a teen who drove her dad to the ED, but "having just passed her test, her driving skills leave much to be desired". Campbell is best known for playing Amelia Spencer on the popular ITV soap, a character she played for 13 years. Teen pregnancy, a complicated relationship with villain Tom King, and an ultimate move to live with her biological father alongside daughter Esther are just some of the storylines Campbell brought to life on the soap.

description: "Call the Midwife will remain at the heart of the BBC for years to come."
encoded: Rumours that Call the Midwife is coming to an end following its upcoming 15th season have been dismissed by the BBC. The future of the award-winning series, which has been airing for more than a decade, seemed uncertain after the Daily Star claimed that it wouldn't be back for a full season after the 15th lands in 2026. Tabloid reports suggested it might follow in the footsteps of Downton Abbey and stick to the movie format going forward – with a Call the Midwife film set overseas in 1972 already confirmed. However, the BBC has now insisted that season 16 will arrive "in due course" and the show will continue to be a major part of its programming. "The BBC would like to reassure fans that Call the Midwife will remain at the heart of the BBC for years to come," the broadcaster said. "As previously announced, there are two Christmas specials, a new series, a film and prequel series, before a sixteenth series in due course. Call the Midwife isn’t going anywhere.” It echoes what creator Heidi Thomas said last month upon the announcement of the new prequel series and film. “The opening of new doors at Nonnatus House feels profoundly emotional, and yet just right," Thomas explained. "I have never run out of stories for our midwives, and I never will."

"As the classic Call the Midwife series moves further into the 1970s, it also seems the perfect time for our much-loved regulars to take a short break from Poplar and test themselves in an unfamiliar landscape." More details for the prequel, the Hong Kong-set Christmas special, and the upcoming movie are to follow in the coming months. Call the Midwife seasons 1-14 are available to strea…

encoded: Pride Month is in full swing this month, marking a time of celebrating LGBTQ+ identities and community. But Pride is also a protest and a call for commemoration. Fortunately, there are a myriad of LGBTQ+ documentaries you can watch which range in tone from hard-hitting to more celebratory, and span decades of queer culture. There's Netflix's Will & Harper, which follows best friends Will Ferrell and Harper Steele as they embark on a cross-country road trip to process a new stage of their relationship when Harper comes out as a trans woman. There is also Channel 4's Where Have All the Lesbians Gone?, which takes a sensitive and careful look at the politics of being a lesbian in contemporary society. Meanwhile, The Death and Life of Marsha P Johnson, in which Johnson's friend Victoria Cruz investigates the trans activist's suspicious death in 1992, is essential viewing against the backdrop of rising hate crimes targeting trans women.

encoded: ITV has confirmed when Noel Edmonds's Kiwi Adventure will land on screens, marking the radio and TV presenter's return to showbiz (sort of). The new series will land on ITV1 and ITVX on Friday 20th June at 9pm, the broadcaster has confirmed. The one-time Saturday night TV staple is taking a leaf out of Jeremy Clarkson's book and swapping industries, though he's decided to do so 11,500 miles away from the UK. Namely, all the way out in New Zealand. Back in 2018, Edmonds and his wife Liz moved continents and set up a sprawling hospitality business in a remote village. Despite the striking setting, it has been far from a smooth process. View oEmbed on the source website "It's not the easiest place to come to, it's not the easiest place to set up a business," Edmonds says in a trailer released by ITV. He's already set up a vineyard, a coffee cart, a general store, and a restaurant and pub, The Bugger Inn, but the series will also see him working towards launching the country's first ever energy garden. But unpredictable weather, bad press and a community on the fence are sure to cause some unforeseen setbacks. Noel Edmonds's Kiwi Adventure will air on ITV1 and ITVX on Friday 20th June at 9pm.

The news comes after The Sun reported he had been questioned by police in connection to an incident involving a machete attack in Stafford. "I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident," Ashman, 23, said in a statement to RadioTimes.com. He added: "I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation." Though he was questioned, he was never charged. ITV also released a statement in the wake of Ashman's exit, citing "personal reasons" as the deciding factor behind his exit. "For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned," the channel said. That means he won't be joining the likes of author Sophie Lee, personal trainer Dejon Noel-Williams and gardener Tommy Bradley. ITV has yet to announce a potential replacement.

description: Some big stars have joined the network for season 4.
encoded: Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon are set to return to the glossy world of The Morning Show for a fourth season. And now, Apple TV+ has confirmed when the first episode will land – Wednesday 17th September 2025. Not only that, but the streamer has also released a batch of first-look images to celebrate, hinting at what's in store for morning show co-anchors Alex Levy (Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon) and the rest of the network. The new series, which consists of 10 episodes, will take place almost two years after the events of season 3. Fans will remember Bradley's future in the network was left hanging in the air after she handed herself in to the FBI. New images show her out for a meal with Mark Duplass's Chip Black, the Morning Show's on-again off-again producer. Some new faces have also joined the fold, including Jeremy Irons (The Borgias) as Alex's father, with a first-look image shows him delivering a lecture on a theme which has caused quite a few issues for the show's fictitious network. He's not the only big star making an appearance, however. Marion Cotillard (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises) plays savvy operator Celine Dumont, while William Jackson Harper (The Good Place) as new Head of Sports, Ben. It's unclear at this stage what their motives are, but they certainly look like they belong in the show's dog-eat-dog world. Aaron Pierre (Mufasa: The Lion King) also has a guest star role as acclaimed visual artist Miles. The streamer also confirmed Jon Hamm would reprise the role of Paul Marks. The time jump will pick up after the UBA-NBN merger is complete, but that doesn't mean everyone's roles and responsibilities are clearly outlined. "In a world rife with deepfakes, conspiracy theories, and corporate cover-ups — who can you trust? And how can you know what’s actually real?" Apple TV+ teased in a statement. Our guess? No one employed at the network. The Morning Show seasons 1-3 are available to stream on Apple TV+. Season 4 will land on …

description: The actress opened up about sci-fi and representation.
encoded: Noma Dumezweni (Only Murders in the Building) is currently starring in Apple TV+'s shiny new sci-fi Murderbot alongside Alexander Skarsgård. Her character Dr Mensah leads a team of scientists tasked to survey a dangerous alien planet, and faces plenty of challenges along the way. During an exclusive chat with RadioTimes.com, the actress opened up about the importance of representation in sci-fi, and how another iconic character in the genre inspired her. "The first time, when I was young, that I saw a possibility of myself being an actor was actually Josette Simon in Blake's 7, all those years ago," she said. "Dark-skinned, Black woman with short hair. And here I am sitting in front of you because of that woman in Blake's 7, a sci-fi in the future," she added. "There's a possibility of different worlds. And she made me see myself as possible." Simon famously played Dayna Mellanby in the '70s sci-fi. Dumezweni is no stranger to appearing in exciting, and even fantastical, worlds. She famously played Hermione Granger in Harry Potter stage play The Cursed Child, and recently appeared in Disney's live-action Little Mermaid as Queen Selina. "Representation is literally that thing," Dumezweni explained. "Can you see yourself in the narrative? Can you see yourself in the story, not just emotionally, but physically, environmentally? It's all of the things. Who are you as a human? And that's what representation is." Murderbot is currently airing on Apple TV+. Subscribe to Apple TV+ here.
