description: The killer clown embarked on a terrifying rampage.
encoded: **Warning: Contains full spoilers for It: Welcome to Derry season 1 episode 8.** HBO's It: Welcome to Derry knows no bounds when it comes to horror. Concluding in a gloriously gory fashion, Pennywise, free from the shackles of the 13 pillars, embarked on his most terrifying rampage yet, proving once again that in the town of Derry, no one is ever truly safe. While the penultimate episode saw fan favourite Rich Santos sacrifice himself to save Margie Truman from a blazing inferno, the grand finale left no time for grieving. With Derry plunged into the darkness of an oppressive fog, courtesy of a newly-liberated Pennywise, and Will Hanlon taken hostage by the killer clown, it was up to Margie, Lily Bainbridge and Ronnie Grogan to save their friend. Meanwhile, the adults – Dick Hallorann, Hank Grogan, Leroy and Charlotte Hanlon, Rose, and her nephew Taniel – followed closely behind, hoping to buy the kids some time. Proving relentless, It: Welcome to Derry went full throttle in its final act, with key players killed off and the lore of Stephen King's universe taking an unexpected shape. Here, we break down the chaos and carnage of episode 8 – keep reading to find out who died, and who survived the wrath of Pennywise… It: Welcome to Derry season 1 ending explained Why did Pennywise kidnap the children of Derry High School? Following General Shaw's dastardly plan to destroy the 13th pillar, and unleash Pennywise on the rest of the US, the killer clown was all-powerful, sending a great fog over the town. Pennywise, who feeds on the fear of children, headed to Derry High School, where he lured all the kids into the auditorium, and after performing a menacing routine with the body of Principal Dunleavy, unleashed his psychic powers, hypnotising each and every child, so he could transport them to the outskirts of Derry, where the town's river had frozen over. Realising that he was no longer trapped, Pennywise intended to spread as much fear as possible across the rest of Ame…

description: Canon Daniel Clement confronted not one but two killers in the season 1 finale.
encoded: Six episodes and four dead bodies later, fans were introduced to not one but TWO killers in the Murder Before Evensong finale. After sticking to his guns, Canon Daniel Clement charged on with his bunker theory, believing that the abandoned World War II site held the key to Anthony Bowness and Ned Thwaites' murders – and of course, he was right. Having failed to convince DS Neil Vanloo of his suspicions, Daniel took the matter into his own hands, investigating the bunker in secret and discovering the skeletal remains of Philip Kerling, a double agent who was believed to have fled to France in 1944. After confiding in his mother, Audrey, the vicar realised he held all the cards, and embarked on a game of cat-and-mouse with the killer. His plan? To inform the members of his Parish that construction would commence on a church toilet, requiring the church font – also known as the entrance to the bunker – to be moved the following morning. Surmising that the killer would have to return to dispose of Kerling's remains, Daniel simply had to wait. That night, as he hid in the darkness of the bunker, our hero finally got his killer. "I had a feeling it would be you," he said, "Why don't we start at the beginning?" Here, we break down the Murder Before Evensong finale… Murder Before Evensong ending explained Who killed Anthony Bowness and Ned Thwaites? To Daniel's horror, Kath was unmasked as the killer. Knowing she'd been caught red-handed, the seemingly sweet pensioner confessed to killing Anthony Bowness and Ned Thwaites. Her motive? To cover up the murder of Philip Kerling, which took place 40 years prior, in 1944. Recalling her younger years in Champton, Kath tells Daniel that she fell for Hervé Gauchet, a soldier from the Free French Army, while attending a village dance. Noting that Hervé had escaped France after Dunkirk and joined the SOE, Kath explained that he would travel in and out of France, helping the Resistance.

description: Reverend Richard Coles's bestseller gets the TV treatment, with Harry Potter's Matthew Lewis and New Tricks star Amanda Redman on fine form.
encoded: Cosy crime is the TV trend that's here to stay. Offering light escapism, all the nation needs is an amateur sleuth with a barrage of compelling mysteries to solve, and my dear Watson, the game is afoot! With Bookish, The Marlow Murder Club and pretty much any Agatha Christie adaptation proving popular, 5's Murder Before Evensong is a welcome addition to the genre, and I suspect Matthew Lewis has a multi-season contract in his future. Based on Reverend Richard Coles's bestselling novel, Murder Before Evensong has all the trappings of a classic murder mystery. A charming English village full of busybodies, where long-running rivalries, secrets and betrayals lurk beneath the surface? Check. An unlikely hero on the trail of a methodical killer? Check. Sure to resonate with fans of ITV's Grantchester, as well as Agatha Christie stans, Murder Before Evensong is set in the fictional village of Champton during the 1980s. Introducing viewers to Canon Daniel Clement, Matthew Lewis steps into the lead role with expert precision, imbuing the character with an innate softness and sincerity that has you rooting for him. Tasked with keeping the peace, Daniel is pushed and pulled between the wants and needs of his fierce and overbearing mother Audrey (Amanda Redman), not to mention the clergy and the many demanding members of his local Parish. So, when he and his adorable dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda, discover the body of a man stabbed to death in the church, Daniel's life is thrown into chaos. With too many loose threads to count, Murder Before Evensong succeeds as a gripping whodunit, with every one of Champton's residents treated as a potential suspect. Was it the jealous journalist at the local newspaper? Or the mysterious groundskeeper with a criminal past? The possibilities feel like a never-ending Cluedo board. Getting off to an intriguing but somewhat slow start, the first two episodes delve into the power dynamics and rivalries at play in Champton. Stirring up trouble, Tamz…

description: Wendy and the Lost Boys finally fought back in a bloody and brutal finale.
encoded: In explosive season finale, Alien: Earth ended with a full-blown mutiny and a surprising alliance. Leading the Lost Boys, Sydney Chandler's Wendy and the surviving hybrids embarked on a bloody game of hide and seek after failing to escape Neverland. Aptly titled 'The Real Monsters', episode 8 drew to a bloody conclusion as the hybrids, locked in a holding cell by Boy Kavalier, finally took a stand against the power-hungry boy genius, not to mention the encircling Prodigy troops. With countless deaths, twists and a major cliffhanger unfolding, the series left us with a lot to unpack. Here, as we wait for news on a potential season 2, we break down the biggest moments from Alien: Earth's five-star finale… Did Wendy and the Lost Boys escape Neverland? No, Wendy and the Lost Boys are still trapped on Prodigy's private island. After attempting to escape with Nibs and her brother, Joe, Wendy and the rest of the hybrids were reunited in a holding cell at the start of the episode. Rounded up by the Prodigy soldiers, the Lost Boys were imprisoned by Boy Kavalier, who monitored them from a distance with Atom Eins. Likewise, Joe found himself in a separate holding cell with Yutani cyborg, Morrow. In the meantime, the escaped xenomorph stayed hidden in the jungle, awaiting Wendy's instructions and almost killing Dame Sylvia. As the hybrids talked in holding cell one, Wendy realised that she held all the power, thanks to her ability to manipulate Prodigy's network and communicate with the xenomorph. After Nibs remarked that they might as well be ghosts, Wendy got the bright idea to haunt their enemies, shutting down Boy Kavalier's comms and cameras, while taunting Dame Sylvia with old footage from the hybrid experiments, and summoning the xenomorph. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/08/AE101047-acf37e1-bf34e73-e1758109238188.jpg" width="1867" height="1245" alt="Jonathan Ajayi as Smee, Adarsh Gourav as Slightly, Sydney Chandler as Wendy, Ti…

description: Did you see that coming?
encoded: Ironheart is upping the stakes, with a finale akin to a Shakespearean tragedy. Following a six-episode set-up for supervillain, Parker – aka the Hood (Anthony Ramos) – Riri (Dominique Thorne) finally came face to face with the real 'big bad', and his introduction signals a major shift in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After weeks of speculation, Ironheart confirmed fan theories by revealing that Mephisto, played masterfully by Sacha Baron Cohen, had been pulling the strings from the start, and influencing Parker to achieve his own mysterious goals. It was a grand finale, which, frankly, left viewers with more questions than answers, as Ironheart remained steadfast in its exploration of grief, above all else. Heartbreakingly, episode 6 was all about the lengths that Riri was willing to go to get the AI version of Natalie (Lyric Ross) back, but after taking down Parker, and quite literally making a deal with the devil, a misguided Riri has plunged the MCU into a world of chaos. Here, we break down that game-changing finale and explain why Mephisto's cameo is so cataclysmic... Who is Mephisto? And what does his cameo mean for the MCU? Episode 6 began by unravelling a key mystery. Opening with a flashback, fans learned that it was during a robbery with his late cousin John (Manny Montana) that Parker first encountered Mephisto. After he and John had split up to avoid the police, Parker had fled into a tunnel, where a cloaked figure offered to help him escape. Desperate to get away, Parker agreed and stepped through a door into a diner, where he sat down with the extra-dimensional demon. Tempted by Mephisto's offer to give him the tools with which he could achieve his deepest desires, Parker agreed to team up with the magic wielder. Determined to become so "stupid, disgusting, greasy rich" that he'd have more money than the father who abandoned him, Parker agreed without knowing Mephisto's real identity or his dark motives. Once they'd struck a deal, Mephisto left Parker…

description: The U&Drama series, based on Mary S Lovell's biography, continues our enduring fascination with the aristocratic sisters who captivated – and sometimes appalled – a nation.
encoded: Scandalous. Stylish. Outrageous. A series which beggars belief, Sarah Williams’s six-part drama could easily be mistaken for a work of fiction, and understandably so. But beneath the fun, fashion and froth is the true and tragic tale of the Mitford sisters. Based on Mary S Lovell's best-selling biography, Outrageous follows the aristocratic Mitford family, while zooming in on the diverging paths of Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah – the six sisters who would soar to notoriety, and become a major source of public fascination in the 1930s. Anchored by the inimitable Bessie Carter, the Bridgerton favourite shines bright as our all-knowing and Fleabag-esque narrator. Grounding the series, Carter delivers a standout performance as the wry and witty novelist, Nancy Mitford. As she recalls the political and romantic choices which would sever, or at the very least alter, the ties that bind, Nancy serves as the heart and soul of the series, but by no means is she its centre. A true ensemble piece, Williams deserves endless credit for the complexity and distinction with which she paints her female leads. Not only is it rare to have a period drama with six headstrong sisters at the helm, but each one is presented as multi-faceted and imbued with a strong sense of self, which is a testament to Williams's writing. As Diana and Unity – the most controversial of the Mitfords due to their close association with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party – Joanna Vanderham and Shannon Watson have taken on the darkest and most sobering arcs of this all-too-real, cautionary tale. By introducing us to the Mitfords in 1933, viewers are given a sense of Diana and Unity before they’re radicalised, allowing the drama to explore the personal and political steps which led to their extreme, fascist views. When we arrive at the series finale, which wraps in 1937, Diana and Unity are so far removed from the young women we meet in episode 1 that the contrast is just as horrifying to the vie…

description: "She was described as one of the most hated women in the world."
encoded: One of the most Outrageous things about the Mitford sisters is that their story lay dormant for so long. Based on Mary S Lovell's best-selling biography, the tale of Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah Mitford had never been adapted for TV – until now, that is. Penned by Sarah Williams, U&Drama's six-part series follows the daughters of British aristocrats David Freeman-Mitford (James Purefoy) and Sydney Bowles (Anna Chancellor), as they take diverging paths in the 1930s, becoming some of the most scandalous and notorious figures on London's social scene. For Bessie Carter, who plays the celebrated novelist, Nancy Mitford, it was her character’s tumultuous marriage with the rakish Peter Rodd (Jamie Blackley) that proved testing to shoot. Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, she recalled: "The most daunting [aspect] was walking in and finding my husband cheating on me... it’s quite a scary thing to think about." For Carter, getting to tell the story of the Mitfords in the first place was a great honour. "The fact that we got to be the ones who dramatised it for the first time with Sarah Williams's amazing scripts, it feels really exciting," she raved. "Hopefully, people can take a little bit of that female empowerment and that question of family. Like, let's have these conversations – if we all go in different directions, let's talk rather than run away." View oEmbed on the source website While Nancy's arc largely involved the breakdown of her marriage, as well as her strained relationship with her sisters, Joanna Vanderham’s research centred on the endless controversies and complexities of Diana Mitford, who was once described as "the most hated woman in England" after marrying the leader of the British Union of Fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley. "I started at the beginning of who she was before she became what she’s known as, and I think that’s what the show does really well: it looks at how someone can become extremely radicalised and at what can take so…

description: Fans have been left reeling.
encoded: Dan Trachtenberg has opened the floodgates to a vast and limitless universe. Three years after he penned and directed Prey (2022), the esteemed filmmaker returns with Predator: Killer of Killers – an animated anthology, and the franchise's eighth instalment. After introducing fans to Ursa (Lindsay LaVanchy), Kenji (Louis Ozawa) and Torres (Rick Gonzalez) – three highly-skilled warriors from three completely different time periods – the story reached its climax in a formidable final act, which saw the trio abducted by a Predator ship, put in suspended animation, and flown to an arena far from Earth. “Become the killer of killers,” a Warlord Predator commands them, before giving each warrior a weapon from their tribes. Determined to escape, Ursa, Kenji, and Torres managed to battle their way out of the arena, hijacking a nearby ship with the Yautjas in pursuit. Mere moments before the credits rolled, however, Ursa was captured and taken to a room filled with cryochambers, where several prisoners – including Prey's Naru (Amber Midthunder) – were being held in suspended animation. So, what does it all mean? Following that out-of-this-world ending, we unpack the fates of Ursa, Kenji, and Torres, while delving into Naru's game-changing cameo… What happened to Ursa? Ursa's life was marred by tragedy. After being forced to kill her father, Einar, and watching her son, Anders, die in the year 841 AD, the Viking warrior had nothing left to live for. That is, until she landed on the Predator's planet. After spotting a glimmer of her late son, Anders, in World War Two pilot, Torres, the Valkyrie of the Northern Seas unleashed hell on the Predators. Having united with Kenji and Torres, Ursa fought valiantly and carried Kenji to safety, after he'd taken a spear to the arm for her. But when the Yautjas fired a harpoon at their ship, Ursa was forced to make a tough decision. 'Do not avenge me,” she tells Kenji and Torres, before sliding down the harpoon cable and destroying the lau…

description: Fans can officially say goodbye to Joel.
encoded: Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Last of Us season 2 episode 6. Gifting fans with some much-needed closure, The Last of Us season 2 took a break from the bloodshed and brutality of Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) quest for justice, with episode 6 recalling her five years with Joel (Pedro Pascal) in Wyoming and – even more poignantly – their final conversation. There’s no doubt about it, the heart and soul of The Last of Us is and always will be the unshakeable bond between Joel and Ellie, and in the latest instalment, the TV adaptation honoured their father-daughter dynamic with an ill-fated flicker of hope. At the start of season 2, we were thrown a red herring, with the series suggesting that Ellie’s final exchange with Joel was at the town’s disastrous New Year’s Eve party. As it turned out, however, there was more to the story. After glimpsing Joel on the front porch with her guitar that same night, Ellie appeared to head into the garage, before changing her mind and confronting him about Salt Lake City. In a raw and Emmy-worthy performance from Pascal, a distraught Joel admitted to killing the Fireflies and preventing the development of a cure in order to save Ellie. "I’ll pay the price, because you’re going to turn away from me," he says, tears streaming down his face. "But if, somehow, I had a second chance at that moment, I would do it all over again." "Because you’re selfish," Ellie fires back. "Because I love you," Joel cries out. "In a way you can’t understand. Maybe you never will, but if that day should come, if you should ever have one of your own, well then, I hope you do a little better than me." "I don’t think I can forgive you for this, but I would like to try," Ellie tells him. It’s a brief, albeit doomed, moment of optimism, and one last shot at redemption for Joel, who, though well-intentioned, is better described as an unapologetic anti-hero. The fact that Joel had died the next day with the knowledge that Ellie still loved him, and that they could survi…
