description: Look who's back!
encoded: Star Trek legend Nana Visitor has brought back her Deep Space Nine character Kira Nerys for a short but sweet new adventure. In Lost and Found, the latest animated short from Scopely, the team behind the game Star Trek Fleet Command, the crew of the Realta joins forces with Major Kira Nerys (who's on board the USS Defiant). They're tasked with investigating the disappearance of a Starfleet training vessel along the edge of Federation Space - but they discover the ship is far from empty, with Major Kira and co encountering an old enemy. Major Kira is forced to grapple with the loss of the crew of the Adelphi and report back to Captain Sisko before salvaging the remains of the ship. But she points out to the crew of the Realta: "I can't shake the feeling that this is the beginning of something terrible" - leaving the short on a very settling note indeed. View oEmbed on the source website It's not the first time these shorts have seen a Star Trek legend return, with previous instalments featuring LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge, Christina Chong as La’an Noonien-Singh, and Jeffrey Combs as Weyoun. TrekMovie reports that the Scopely has previously described these shorts as "canon-adjacent". Visitor first played Bajoran military liaison Kira Nerys in Deep Space Nine from 1993 to 1999. She later returned to voice the character in the animates series Lower Decks. Previously speaking to SlashFilm about playing Kira for all those years, Visitor said: "Those seven years were like dog years. One year equals seven years. So I was Kira for 49 years, and she is so ingrained in me. "Really, she actually shifted who I was... I was shifted by this character in really good ways, in having to accept foibles and having to self-examine. She did a lot of good for me. So it's joyful for me to step into who she is." Star Trek: Fleet Command is available to download now. Star Trek is available to watch on Paramount+. <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/offers/?benefitId=paramountplusg…

description: An all-new Eleven is coming our way.
encoded: While Eleven's fate was left up in the air at the end of Stranger Things season 5, the character is returning to us in a new form in new spin-off Tales from '85. An all-new cast is taking over in the animated series, which is set in between seasons 2 and 3 of the original show, with Brooklyn Davey Norstedt set to play Eleven after Millie Bobby Brown originated the role. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times about taking on the role and how her Eleven is set to be different, Norstedt explained: "I didn't want to do a complete imitation of Millie’s performance, because that kind of takes all of the heart and humanity out of it. I don't want to be a robot! "It was definitely an interesting balance. I know I don't have powers, and I wasn't raised in a lab, but there are a lot of ways that I personally relate to Eleven and her journey, and I felt like I was really able to connect to her. "She feels everything so deeply and extremely and I felt like I was really able to bring that vulnerability to the character. That that was a big part of who I am, that I infused into the role." "Eleven is learning who she is, and she's learning to speak up for herself," Norstedt added. "So we talked a lot about having that assertiveness and firmness. She wants to make choices for herself, so we leaned a lot into that specific part of her character." Part of Norstedt's performance also included spontaneous moments and improvised lines, which showrunner Eric Robles was eager to keep in the show to emphasise how young the characters are in Tales from '85 compared to when we last saw them in season 5. "I always felt so free to try whatever I wanted to try on a line. Sometimes I would add little parts just just to see where it lands," she said. "Sometimes it gets used and sometimes it doesn't, but a lot of the times I would look back and be like, 'Oh my gosh, they used this improv that I added.'" Plus, as a Stranger Things superfan, Norstedt was very happy to do her research. View Green Video …

encoded: This is not a drill! Silo season 3 officially has a release date – and there's not too long to wait. The news has been a long time coming for fans of the sci-fi, which follows the inhabitants of an underground silo who have no idea how they came to be there, or what they survived in the outside world. After seasons 1 and 2 thrilled audiences, Apple TV has confirmed season 3 is coming our way on 3 July. New episodes of the 10-part season will then drop weekly, until the finale on 4 September. Alongside the release date announcement, the streamer has dropped a chilling teaser heralding the return of Rebecca Ferguson's Juliette, the engineer determined to find out the truth. In the dramatic clip, we hear her say: "Before we can know why we're here, before we can know why everything is as it is, before we can know how it all will end, we need to understand how it all began." View oEmbed on the source website Oh yes, we're going right back to the beginning, with season 3 being based on Shift, the second of Hugh Howey's Wool novels. The teaser goes on to show scenes from Silo 18 in reverse (as if we're rewinding) with a shot of the bleak wasteland above the siloes flickering and turning back to a lush green landscape. Meanwhile, a whole host of first-look images have been released by Apple TV, which you can check out below. View Gallery on the source website It set to follow two different timelines, with Apple sharing the official synopsis: "In the present, Juliette Nichols (Ferguson) survives her forced 'cleaning' but returns with memory loss as the silo recovers from rebellion and faces a dangerous new threat. "Meanwhile, in the 'Before Times,' journalist Helen Drew (Jessica Henwick) and Congressman Daniel Keene (Ashley Zukerman) uncover a conspiracy that pulls them into a chain of events with catastrophic, irreversible consequences."

description: Très bien!
encoded: Wednesday season 3 is headed to the city of love! While the new instalment of the beloved fantasy series is a way off yet, Netflix has already shared a first-look snap of Jenna Ortega's woeful character in a rather iconic location, with the caption: "From Paris, with dread." As production heads to the French capital, Ortega can be seen filming with the Eiffel Tower in the background, alongside trusty companion Thing. She's holding a piece of paper in her hand – perhaps a letter from someone summoning her there? As it stands, fans are in the dark about exactly why Wednesday is heading to Paris in season 3, but some fans have speculated that it may be related to Enid (Emma Myers) potentially fleeing Nevermore after her seemingly-permanent werewolf transformation in season 2. While plot details are still yet to be confirmed, the cast for season 3 is shaping up to be, well, très bien. New stars joining the fray include: Eva Green (who's playing Aunt Ophelia), Winona Ryder (Tabitha), Chris Sarandon (Balthazar), Noah Taylor (Cyrus), Oscar Morgan (Atticus), and Kennedy Moyer (Daisy). Plus, Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy and James Lance were recently announced in yet to be confirmed roles. Season 3 began production in February this year in Ireland, with key cast members including Ortega (Wednesday), Myers (Enid), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia), Luis Guzmán (Gomez), Hunter Doohan (Tyler), Fred Armisen (Fester) and more returning. Co-creator and showrunner Alfred Gough previously told Tudum of season 3: "Our goal for season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can." Co-creator and showrunner Miles Millar added: "We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday. We will be seeing more Addams family members and learning more family secrets in season 3!" Meanwhile, the legendary Tim Burton, who works as an executive producer on the show, stated: "I’m so excited to be…

description: UK fans will have to wait a little longer.
encoded: With From season 4 arriving in the US and across the world, there's set to be a hint of jealousy from UK fans, who will have to wait a little longer to watch the new instalment of the MGM+ horror series. Harold Perrineau returns to lead an ensemble cast as Sheriff Boyd Stevens, with the series following the a group of people who get stuck in a nightmarish small town, and are haunted by monsters. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times, Perrineau teased that the return of the Smiley monster at the end of season 3 has placed Boyd in a dark mindset. “It really places him in this, in the space of ‘I can do everything I can, and I still might not be able to protect them,” he told us. “I could kill a motherf**ker, like I could kill a dude, and that still might not be enough to protect them.” But when can we expect to see the new episodes in the UK? When will From season 4 be released in the UK? Season 4 of From won’t start streaming until Thursday 14 May 2026 (presumably a weekly rollout from episode 1 onwards), as confirmed by Sky. This means viewers England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales will be almost a month behind the United States. How to watch From season 4 in the UK Like the last three seasons, From season 4 will be available on Sky and NOW in the UK. That's a marked difference to the US, where the show can be viewed on MGM+, and internationally, where it can be found on Prime Video.

description: Apple TV previously postponed the thriller, with no new release date being confirmed.
encoded: Jessica Chastain has shared a welcome update on her Apple TV thriller The Savant after it was postponed last year. The drama, which will follow an undercover investigator known as The Savant as she infiltrates online hate groups in an effort to stop domestic extremists, was due to begin last September, with the streamer confirming that the release had been pushed back. No new release date was confirmed at the time but now Chastain has confirmed, after some uncertainty, that the show will definitely still be coming to screens. She told Variety: “Before it was like, ‘I don’t know if we’re going to see it,’ but now I can say, ‘We’re going to see it.'" The outlet also cites sources as saying the thriller will likely be released this July. Radio Times has contacted Apple TV for comment. In September, Apple TV confirmed the release date for The Savant had been postponed, with a spokesperson saying in a statement: "After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone The Savant. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date." While a reason for the postponement was not confirmed, Deadline reported that it was said to be related to the show's subject matter. Chastain later criticised the decision to postpone the series, saying in a statement that she and Apple TV weren't "aligned" on it. She added: "In the last five years since we’ve been making the show, we’ve seen an unfortunate amount of violence in the United States: the kidnapping attempt on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer; the January 6th attack on the Capitol; the assassination attempts on President Trump; the political assassinations of Democratic representatives in Minnesota; the attack on Speaker Pelosi’s husband; the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk; the recent shooting at an ABC affiliate station in California; and over 300 school shootings across this country.

The post-apocalyptic drama, which will focus its third season on Kaitlyn Dever's Abby, will see Li play Miriam, a Seraphite and the mother of Lev and Yara, according to Variety. The actress is best known for her role as Grace Chow in Ryan Coogler's Oscar-winning movie sinners, and she's set to appear in Marvel's Spider-Noir alongside Nicolas Cage. It was previously confirmed that Michelle Mao will play Yara and Kyriana Kratter will play Lev, a pair of siblings who encounter Abby at a key moment in their lives. The Last of Us season 3 will show Abby's experience as a soldier in Seattle, with the character having her perspective changed after seeking revenge against Joel (Pedro Pascal) for her father's death. Alongside Dever, cast members Bella Ramsey (Ellie), Isabella Merced (Dina), Gabriel Luna (Tommy) and Jeffrey Wright (Isaac) will return. They'll be joined by Clea DuVall, who's playing another member of the Seraphites, and Jorge Lendeborg Jr, who will be taking over the role of Manny, as well as Patrick Wilson, who will play Jerry Anderson, Abby's father, and Jason Ritter, who will take on an original role, Washington Liberation Front soldier Hanley.

description: Nick's mum has officially been recast.
encoded: As we gear up for Charlie (Joe Locke) and Nick's (Kit Connor) final outing in movie Heartstopper Forever, Netflix has confirmed two British acting legends are joining the cast. Motherland legend Anna Maxwell Martin is taking over from Olivia Colman as Nick's mother, Sarah. Colman wasn't in season 3 of Heartstopper due to scheduling conflicts, and won't be returning for the film either. Meanwhile, Derek Jacobi is set to appear in a cameo role, with the details yet to be announced. Author Alice Oseman has opened up about Sarah's recasting, telling Tudum: "While in Season 3, we were able to tweak the story to avoid any appearance of Sarah, it felt nonsensical for her to be absent from this final chapter, given some of the emotional struggles Nick faces. "Sadly, Olivia Colman was not able to join us for the film, so we made the very difficult decision to recast the role, rather than exclude the character. We are deeply grateful for Olivia's beautiful performance as Sarah in Seasons 1 and 2 of Heartstopper, through such iconic moments as Nick coming out as bisexual, and we know that her performance will live on in the hearts of every Heartstopper fan." She added: "We are overjoyed to welcome the incredible Anna Maxwell Martin into the role of Sarah for Heartstopper Forever. "Anna perfectly embodies Sarah’s gentle, down-to-earth energy, and it was magical to witness her scenes with Kit Connor during the film shoot. I can’t wait for Heartstopper fans to experience her interpretation of Sarah Nelson.” Martin is known for roles including DCS Patricia Carmichael in Line of Duty, Julia Johnstone in Motherland, Beelzebub in Good Omens, and she's set to lead the upcoming For All Mankind spin-off Star City as Lyudmilla Raskova. Jacobi, meanwhile, has had a varied career across screen and stage, in the likes of I, Claudius, Cadfael, Gladiator, and The King's Speech. Heartstopper Forever will conclude the beloved Netflix series based on Oseman's graphic novels, following the romanc…

encoded: Add Stranger Things: Tales from '85 to your watchlist Netflix’s Stranger Things may have ended only recently, but it’s already back in an animated spin-off, Tales from ’85, which swaps the horror of Hawkins with a more family-friendly feel. “We wanted to focus on kids being kids, riding bikes, solving mysteries with their walkie-talkies and flashlights,” says showrunner Eric Robles, though he notes the series still promises plenty of monsters and mysteries. View Green Video on the source website The team behind the animated show, which is set between seasons 2 and 3 of Stranger Things, wanted to honour the original by using the show’s posters as the basis for the animation style. “We have a very stylised look to our show,” Robles says. “We brought this very illustrative feel.” The animation allows for more freedom compared to live-action. “We can really crank up the kinds of visuals that you wouldn’t get in the flagship series. We can push our cameras in a certain way and get the characters to do dynamic things that they normally wouldn’t be able to do.” Capturing the specifics of Hawkins was essential, with Robles working with Stranger Things writers as well as the show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, and studying the live-action sets to replicate every detail. But while our heroes may look familiar, they’re going to sound a little different. Brooklyn Davey Norstedt is voicing telekinetic teen Eleven, taking over from Millie Bobby Brown. “I didn’t want to do a complete imitation of Millie’s performance because that would take the heart out of it,” she says. “But I did do a lot of heavy research by rewatching the show. I wanted to honour Millie’s portrayal of the character but also bring Eleven to life. I know Eleven means so much to the fans and to me.” Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 is available from Thursday on Netflix

Game of Thrones has miraculously thrived for 15 years – here's how it could survive the next 15

description: When you play the game of franchises, you win or you die.
encoded: It's been 15 years since Game of Thrones aired its first episode and, in that time, the beloved fantasy series has pulled off what may have once seemed impossible – but now, it has an even bigger challenge ahead of it. Based on the novels by George RR Martin, Thrones went from a cult hit in season 1 to a global phenomenon by season 3, receiving worldwide acclaim for its masterfully crafted story, its wealth of well-written and well-acted characters, and its incredible production value. Miraculously, after it took a dive in its final season, Thrones has also managed to pull a Jon Snow and come back from certain death for two highly-acclaimed spin-offs which have been (mostly) beloved by the fanbase: House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, becoming a masterclass in how to make a franchise. But the 2020s haven't been all that kind to well-established TV and film franchises. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe, for instance, once seemed bulletproof, the 2020s have seen it face struggles like box office revenue declines (with 2023's The Marvels ending its box office run as the lowest-grossing MCU movie in history) and well-documented audience fatigue – something that could very well impact other franchises too. View Green Video on the source website So, while it's thrived over the past 15 years, how does Game of Thrones survive the next 15? In many ways, it's on the right track. A big part of Marvel's audience fatigue came from fans feeling like they had to do their homework to understand everything, with new releases failing to stand on their own. In contrast, Thrones has already gone in the complete opposite direction with its spin-offs, which (while still serving as prequels to the original series) also stand on their own as original stories. Although fans who have seen all of Thrones and House of the Dragon will, of course, get a richer experience from watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, it's in no way essential. Both spin-offs have also, crucial…

encoded: Stranger Things may have come to an end, but our adventures in Hawkins certainly haven't, as the animated series Tales from '85 is nearly here - but, while they may look familiar, our heroes are going to sound a little different. Set between seasons 2 and 3 of the original show, the spin-off has brought on board an entirely new cast to voice the characters, with Brooklyn Davey Norstedt as Eleven, Luca Diaz as Mike Wheeler, Ben Plessala as Will Byers and more. With the cast of the original show becoming so intertwined with their characters by the end of the five seasons, it may seem a strange decision to recast them for the animated spin-off, which is executive produced by Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers. Explaining the decision, showrunner Eric Robles exclusively told Radio Times that it came down to making sure the kids sounded authentically like kids. "Bringing in anybody from the original cast, you're now talking about older voices. Everybody's going to mature. So having these designs that take place in season 2, having these dark, deep voices, it would really throw it off," he said. "We wanted to capture the youthfulness, which is what the Duffer Brothers really enjoyed about those early seasons. They wanted the spontaneous words and sentences that would come out of these kids' mouths." He added: "We wanted to capture the innocence of kids being kids. There are things that kids say, that they do, that, as an adult, you almost forget that you talk that way, and so we made sure that we wanted to capture that purity of being a kid. "So we went out and we found these fantastic actors for the show that really captured that youthfulness. And they play - some of the spontaneous words that they say, it's them just playing in the booth. Then we capture that and we incorporate that into the show. "And every once in a while, you'll hear a voice crack, right? That kind of voice crack, you can't get with a 24-year-old! It's such a pure, natural thing, and we wan…

The Americans actor plays Tom Loftis, the mayor of a small town, who is faced with residents convinced that their town is haunted. But as the evidence stacks up, can he continue to deny what he views as nothing but superstition? A new teaser for the show, which has been exclusively shared with Radio Times, introduces us to Rhys's mayor, Tom Loftis, who accidentally puts his foot in his mouth when colleague Patricia (Kate O'Flynn) tells him a story about a spirit supposedly haunting the town, the boogeyman. "Have I told you about the boogeyman?" she asks him, her voice beginning to shake. "I was home alone and it started with the calls. Weird breathing, hang-ups, and then I heard someone downstairs and I hid under the bed." As she recounts the story, increasingly haunting scenes from the town start to play out - before abruptly stopping when Tom says: "I think you did tell me that story. You asked me if I'd heard it before." Causing Patricia to storm out, he unhelpfully adds: "He murdered teenage girls. You're in your forties. You'll be fine." The new series will see Rhys's Mayor Loftis attempt to transform the town of Widow's Bay into a tourist haven – despite the constant warnings from the population that the place is haunted. So, what is he to do if they're proven right? Rhys is best known for his role as Philip Jennings in The Americans, Kevin Walker in Brothers & Sisters, and leading HBO's Perry Mason. He and Flynn will star in Widow's Bay alongside Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi, Kevin Carroll and Dale Dickey. Ready for a visit?

encoded: In what's sure to be bittersweet news for viewers, horror series From has been renewed for a fifth and final season. The MGM+ series, which sees Harold Perrineau lead an ensemble cast as Sheriff Boyd Stevens, and follows a group of people stuck in a nightmarish small town which monsters haunt at night, had its future confirmed in a statement from the show's executive producers, John Griffin, Jeff Pinker and Jack Bender. The message, posted on From's social media channels, reads: "Season 5 is a go! We are wildly excited to announce that we've officially begun work on season 5. "Which means we will get the chance to see our story to its conclusion. Which means questions will be answered. Answers will be questioned. And there will surely be a cascade of tears and terrors in-between." The message continues: "We are thankful for the support of our friends and partners at MGM+. And we are grateful beyond measure for the mad passion of our entire Fromily. We're excited to share season 4 with you, and hope it whets your appetite for what's to come." View oEmbed on the source website Season 5 is expected to begin production in Halifax, Nova Scotia later this year, and premiere in 2027. Creator Griffin spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the decision to end the series after its fifth season, explaining: "In full transparency, five seasons was always the goal, but we always wanted to let the story tell us when it was time to end. "When we reached the end of season three and the death of Jim (Eion Bailey), it felt like we reached the end of the beginning. "Similarly, season 4 very naturally feels like the beginning of the end. We’ve had the opportunity to tell this story from the beginning the way we really wanted to tell it, with the full support of Michael Wright and everybody over at MGM. It’s rare you get to tell this type of story and give it the life you feel it needs, to let the story decide when it’s time to end." Speaking exclusively to Radio Times ahead of the new s…

description: The Fourth Doctor star emerges through the famous blue doors in these wonderful photos.
encoded: Doctor Who legend Tom Baker has delighted fans by stepping back into the TARDIS for some incredible new photos. Baker, now 92, famously played the Fourth Doctor, remaining many fans' favourite incarnation of the Time Lord after his run from 1974 to 1981. Now, new photos of the actor show him in a very familiar situation – peeping out of the doors of the TARDIS. Sid's Emporium in Tenterden shared the photos, telling Radio Times that the actor was seen passing by the shop, with owners Simon and Donna inviting him in for the snaps. "Ahhh.. the dear Tom Baker has just made our day again!" they wrote on Instagram. "Tom absolutely loved the @sidsemporium Tardis doors - skilfully made by Simon last year! "He was such a good sport this morning, peering out behind the doors and acting away.. always with such humour! I think these pictures will definitely be cherished ..so here’s one for all you Dr.Who fans! Thank you Tom." Baker is still clearly incredibly fond of his time as the Doctor, recently celebrating the anniversary of his last episode, which aired on 21 March 1981, with a video. The short video began: "45 years ago, the following words were spoken: 'It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for,'" followed by a clip of Baker himself dressed in his iconic oversized striped scarf from his Doctor Who days. Holding a sonic screwdriver, he said: "Oh that's right, this is my sonic screwdriver – the key to all my great success. And, of course, you people who have watched me and clapped and kept clapping and sending me presents. It's been exciting actually." He then signed off with a trademark laugh, thanking his fans, followed by an end screen that read: "Tom Baker will always be the Doctor!" Last year, the actor also received an MBE for for services to television, telling Radio Times at the time: "It never ceases to amaze me how fondly people remember me 34 years after my last adventure in the TARDIS and I found it hard to believe it was so long ago when I found myse…

The Scottish actor, who played the Fifteenth incarnation of the Time Lord, will receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Glasgow later this year. Gatwa will be made a Doctor of the University at a ceremony in June, with other recipients including BBC journalist Sarah Smith, and the Advocate General for Scotland, Baroness Catherine Smith. Musicians Deacon Blue and Eddi Reader will also receive honours. The university said the individuals selected have had "a profound and positive impact within their professions and wider society." Prof Andy Schofield, the principal and vice chancellor at the university, said: "Honorary degrees give us the opportunity to recognise individuals whose achievements have had a profound and positive impact within their professions and wider society. "Their work embodies values that continue to inspire our community. I am delighted to welcome our honorary graduates into the University of Glasgow community at such a significant milestone, and to celebrate them alongside our graduating students." Gatwa starred as the Doctor for two seasons, alongside companions Millie Gibson and Varada Sethu, exiting the series in The Reality War, shortly after regenerating into returning star Billie Piper. After his departure, he told The Telegraph about leaving Doctor Who: "I was tired and burnt out at the end of [season 2]. It was exhausting. But it was a magical time, magical. "There was never an opportunity to recoup the energy – it’s just go, go, go. I was doing seven-day weeks for eight months, and I found it hard being away from home and family. I’d already been shooting in Cardiff for five years (on and off) prior to that with Sex Education, and we started shooting Doctor Who while I was still doing Season four of Sex Ed."

description: Welcome to The Boroughs!
encoded: A group of retirees must band together to defeat an otherworldly threat in Netflix's new sci-fi The Boroughs (executive produced by the Duffer Brothers), with the first trailer showing the unlikely heroes in action. The action-packed teaser shows Alfred Molina's Sam reluctantly moving into The Boroughs, a seemingly picturesque retirement community. But while we're told the place is a "new beginning", there seem to be mysterious supernatural forces at play, as the unlikely group o of heroes, played by a starry cast including Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Bill Pullman, Clarke Peters and Denis O’Hare, arm themselves and decide to take on the threat themselves. We're shown teases of the forces at play – a tentacle here and a mysterious orb at light there – but it seems they're a mix of terrifying and wondrous encounters for our golden oldies. View oEmbed on the source website There are plenty of fun moments in the trailer that haven't passed fans by, including a nod to the end scene of Davis's iconic movie Thelma and Louise. Meanwhile, plenty of viewers are also seeing parallels to Stranger Things, and noticing the series may be inspired by 1985 movie Cocoon, which follows elderly residents at a retirement home who regain the vigour of their youth after swimming in a pool containing alien cocoons. The Duffer Brothers recently told Tudum of the new show: "While the heroes in The Boroughs have a few more years on them than the kids from Stranger Things, they are a similarly lovable bunch of misfits, and we can’t wait for you to join them on an adventure that is at turns scary, funny, and deeply touching." Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews created the eight-episode series and will act as the showrunners, with the pair explaining to Tudum: "From the beginning, we knew we wanted The Boroughs to feel equal parts scary, mysterious, exciting and emotional. "The challenge was to create a world that could hold all of these different tones at once. Which is why it was so fun …

The beloved Scottish actor played the Twelfth incarnation of the Doctor from 2014 to 2017, after taking over from Matt Smith, and has said he was eager not to disappoint any fans. Speaking on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Capaldi said: "I think I have a little regret about it. Because it's great fun being Doctor Who, but the pressure of it is quite intense. "You're sort of on all the time, and you don't want to disappoint anyone because, even though I'm not Doctor Who, if people are meeting me, they'd rather meet the version of me that is Doctor Who. So you try not to let them down. "That was one of the big changes in my life, I guess, which happened quite late. I'm quite miserable, really, but I thought, you can't be miserable if you're Doctor Who. You would disappoint people. So I had to become cheerful all the time!" He added: "It's nice to sit in the TARDIS, it's nice to go to work and blow up Daleks. That's fun!" Capaldi, who also revealed he turned down Celebrity Traitors, has been open about the fact that he wouldn't return to the role, but he clearly looks back on it fondly. He previously told Radio Times: "It was just an incredible experience. Suddenly, you're in the middle of this fantastical world, surrounded by people who love Doctor Who. "I was watching Tom Baker talking about something, and he said that when he was Doctor Who he would do tons and tons of publicity and stuff, because being Doctor Who was much more fun than being Tom Baker, and I would say the same, probably, being Doctor Who is much more fun than being me.

Could sci-fi save us all? How the Ministry of Defence is working with sci-fi storytellers to brace Britain for crisis

subject: App features
description: Can sci-fi give the UK's defences a scientific edge?
encoded: From AI making life and death decisions, to quantum technology that can predict the future, and wars fought by autonomous machines, a group of sci-fi authors have been dreaming up what could happen over the next century for a very important reason. Since the very dawn of science fiction, the genre has looked to the future, applying scientific principles to imagine futuristic scenarios, technological advances, social and environmental changes, and life on other planets. But it's not just entertainment. Now, sci-fi is actually being used to brace Britain for a whole host of crises that could come our way in the next 100 years. That's thanks to The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), an Executive Agency of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), which provides expertise and insight used for "maintaining UK warfighting readiness" in the face of increasing technological advancements. Dstl uses processes like horizon-scanning (which identifies early warning signals, emerging trends, and potential future threats or opportunities) to prepare the country for the future. In Futures Programme Manager Sarah Herbert's words, "Dstl delivers the science that keeps the UK safe." "Our job is to give the UK a science and technology edge," she says. "That could be everything from providing expert advice to major defence programs, military operations, horizon-scanning for the future and acting as that bridge between government and industry and academia." So, Dstl has teamed up with author and researcher Dr Allen Stroud, from Coventry University's Research Centre for Peace and Security, and other sci-fi authors for the anthology Creative Futures, which imagines some of the future crises we may very well have to deal with, from AI to environmental threats and beyond. Stroud specialises in near science-fiction, stories that takes place about 100 years in the future, and was approached by Dstl in 2022 as then-Chair of the Science Fiction Association.

description: The season 3 poster has plenty of Easter eggs and clues hidden in its depths.
encoded: Good Omens season 3 is set to take the storyline way beyond the events of the book – and now we have some clues about what that might entail. Season 2 left us on a heartbreaking cliffhanger, with David Tennant's Crowley and Michael Sheen's Aziraphale reluctantly going their separate ways after confessing their feelings to each other and sharing a kiss. Now, a poster for season 3, which will consist of one 90-minute finale, has teased how that thread may continue – and it doesn't look good. Crowley and Aziraphale are seen standing separately, on two precipices. Crowley's side is clearly meant to be reflective of hell, with fiery threads seeping out, while Aziraphale's features a heavenly scroll overhanging the edge. View oEmbed on the source website It's the first time in a Good Omens poster that the pair have been seen standing separately, with the chasm in the middle of them indicating a potentially impassable distance between them. In the middle, there's Crowley's Bentley. We can also see plenty of props from the show making an appearance. On Crowley's side, there's a sign for Whickber Street (where Aziraphale's bookshop is located), a snow globe, and stacks of books. There's also a drooping plant, a half-eaten pizza, and what looks like a sleeping bag. It seems the pair's split isn't going well for the demon. View Green Video on the source website Perhaps more significantly, on Aziraphale's side, there's pretty much nothing – a strange and sad state of affairs for an angel who is so attached to his possessions. All in all, the pair seem surrounded by destruction. In the middle of them, though, is a strong beam of light – hopefully indicating that there's light at the end of the tunnel. Fans have also noticed the pair's wings. Aziraphale's no longer look pristinely white, while Crowley's are lighter than normal, with hints of white in there – presumably a visual reminder that nothing is black and white, even the forces of Heaven and Hell. Few plot details have bee…

encoded: Warning: Major spoilers ahead for For All Mankind season 5 episode 3. The moment we've all been expecting has finally come in For All Mankind season 5. After being the grounding force in the show since season 1, Joel Kinnaman's Ed Baldwin is no more. The latest episode of the alt-history space epic saw the character in a hospice, saying his final goodbyes to his family before taking his last breath. Of course, with Ed being 80 in the latest season, suffering health problems and disobeying his doctor's orders, it's not going to come as the biggest surprise to fans. But it still packs a huge emotional punch - and will change the show for good - including placing more of a focus on the younger generation. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times about how this impacts everything, Sean Kaufman, who plays Baldwin's grandson Alex, said: "I think it's the turning point of everything. As much as it's an ensemble show, it is Ed and Margo [Madison, played by Wrenn Schmidt]'s show to me. And I think that episode 3 is a real passing of the guard. View Green Video on the source website "It's this older generation that had their time and did so much... [Ed] got humanity and civilisation to Mars and to eventually look past Mars and go for the rest of the stars.

Showrunner Russell T Davies is set to pen the festive special, which comes after the twist that saw Ncuti Gatwa's departing Doctor regenerate into none other than Billie Piper, who previously played companion Rose Tyler. But haven't Tennant and Davies both said the Fourteenth Doctor is retired and won't be back? Well, there are a few things making fans think otherwise. Of course, no details have been announced about the special and this is all speculation. Will David Tennant return to Doctor Who at Christmas? All the clues and theories The Doomsday tease A recent blogpost from UNIT on the Doctor Who website had fans wondering if the Christmas special might actually be a sequel to beloved episode Doomsday. The post reminded logged-in users of the "Rose Tyler (2006 Cold case)". It added: "As Rose Tyler is currently both missing from this universe and flagged as a complex space-time event, maybe keep an eye out. I've got the Vlinx scanning all media channels and the subwave network." It begs the question as to why Doomsday is being referenced now - unless there's a reason for it that hasn't been revealed yet.

It's also been 20 years this year since his first full season as the Doctor - so this could certainly explain it. But could it also be teeing us up for a return? Very possibly. The Fourte…

The actor, who starred as Tyrion Lannister in HBO's beloved fantasy series, will be a series regular in the second season of Noah Hawley's sci-fi drama. There are no further details about Dinklage's role, although production is set to begin next month at Pinewood Studios, so perhaps more details will emerge then. Set two years before Ridley Scott's iconic film Alien, the series revolves around a group of terminally ill children, including Sydney Chandler's Wendy, whose consciousnesses are transferred into adult synthetic bodies – and who have to face the planet's biggest threat. Alongside Chandler, the first season of Alien: Earth also starred Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille and Moe Bar-El. When the series was officially renewed for season 2, FX Chairman John Landgraf said in a statement: "It has been our great privilege to work with Noah for more than a decade on some of FX’s best and biggest shows, and we are thrilled to extend our partnership well into the future. "Noah never stops surprising us with truly original stories – and his unique ability to bring them to vibrant life as a director and producer as well as writer makes him extraordinary. "We can’t wait to get to work on the next season of Alien: Earth, as well as some equally exciting future projects in advanced development." Alien: Earth is available to stream now on Disney+.

Could sci-fi save us all? How the Ministry of Defence is working with sci-fi storytellers to brace Britain for crisis

description: Can sci-fi give the UK's defences a scientific edge?
encoded: From AI making life and death decisions, to quantum technology that can predict the future, and wars fought by autonomous machines, a group of sci-fi authors have been dreaming up what could happen over the next century for a very important reason. Since the very dawn of science fiction, the genre has looked to the future, applying scientific principles to imagine futuristic scenarios, technological advances, social and environmental changes, and life on other planets. But it's not just entertainment. Now, sci-fi is actually being used to brace Britain for a whole host of crises that could come our way in the next 100 years. That's thanks to The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), an Executive Agency of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), which provides expertise and insight used for "maintaining UK warfighting readiness" in the face of increasing technological advancements. Dstl uses processes like horizon-scanning (which identifies early warning signals, emerging trends, and potential future threats or opportunities) to prepare the country for the future. In Futures Programme Manager Sarah Herbert's words, "Dstl delivers the science that keeps the UK safe." "Our job is to give the UK a science and technology edge," she says. "That could be everything from providing expert advice to major defence programs, military operations, horizon-scanning for the future and acting as that bridge between government and industry and academia." So, Dstl has teamed up with author and researcher Dr Allen Stroud, from Coventry University's Research Centre for Peace and Security, and other sci-fi authors for the anthology Creative Futures, which imagines some of the future crises we may very well have to deal with, from AI to environmental threats and beyond. Stroud specialises in near science-fiction, stories that takes place about 100 years in the future, and was approached by Dstl in 2022 as then-Chair of the Science Fiction Association. "We put together discussion gro…

The Boys fans devastated over early season 5 tragedy - as episode 1 proves no one is safe

description: We should have seen it coming.
encoded: Warning: Major spoilers ahead for The Boys season 5 episode 1. The Boys boss Eric Kripke has been teasing for some time that no one is safe in the long-awaited season 5 - but now that's been proven once and for all already in episode 1. The first two episodes of the final season are officially here and they've not held back, with the show's signature brutality taking centre stage and making Jessie T Usher's A-Train our first high-profile death. Despite being our very first example of a villainous supe in season 1, A-Train has been on a journey of redemption, with one season 5 scene showing him clearly avoiding the same devastating mistake he made in the very first episode (when he killed Hughie's girlfriend) and finally standing up to Antony Starr's Homelander. "You're just an empty f**king suit," he tells him. "Take away these powers and what are you? A pathetic, weak, snivelling f**king loser." As A-Train continues to laugh at him, Homelander takes action, brutally breaking his neck and killing him. Actor Usher previously teased that A-Train may meet his demise in season 5, reportedly telling ABS-CBN (in an interview that now appears to have been taken down): "I saw the end coming long before it came and I was glad that I had an aired-out, isolated moment with Antony." Usher reportedly added: "He’s like a person who I’ve built a lot of the driving force of what motivated this character or changed this character. I was happy that we were able to end it in a moment that was shared just between us." Fans are devastated by the loss of the character, however, with one writing on X (formerly Twitter): "This scene him saving the boys and dodging the woman not repeating his mistake and facing Homelander and dying a hero god i can’t take this RIP a-train i will miss you so much king."

description: Teenage Kix are here!
encoded: Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Boys season 5 episode 1 and 2. The Boys season 5 has officially introduced its rather insufferable group of young Supe influencers, Teenage Kix! The group, consisting of Countess Crow, Rock Hard, Sheline and Jetstream, encounter The Boys in season 5 episode 2 - where chaos ensues. Here's everything you need to know about the group. Who is Countess Crow in The Boys season 5? Countess Crow - Countess of the Crows, as she describes herself - is a member of Teenage Kix and a young Supe makeup influencer. She spends most of her time filming videos with her crows, Russell and Cameron. While she describes The Boys as terrorists to begin with, MM (Laz Alonso) gives her a talking to about how Vought is exploiting her, and she later admits she just wants to go home. Countess Crow is played by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, who is best known for leading Netflix's Never Have I Ever. View oEmbed on the source website Who is Rock Hard in The Boys season 5? Rock Hard can only be described as a living mountain/volcano, who Frenchie says is made of 900 pounds of granite. Crucially, Rock Hard is almost indestructible and nearly as strong as Homelander, which makes the supe the perfect test subject for a plan the team are working on. As an aside, Frenchie also references Rock Hard's "unspeakable act at the Lincoln memorial" - which we won't repeat here (but suffice it to say that Rock Hard seems to enjoy performing certain sexual acts in public). Rock Hard is voiced by Andrew Iles. Who is Sheline in The Boys season 5? Sheline is a cat-inspired supe who we see filming various sponsored videos for social media - including one that features her marching an innocent mother out of her house. Sheline is played by Emma Elle Paterson, who's known for series including Bet, and has featured in films including X-Men: Apocalypse. Who is Jetstreak in The Boys season 5? Jetstreak is another member of Teenage Kix who has the power to levitate and propel himself through the ai…
