The model returned to the villa on Friday (19th January) for an after-party with the boys, and she didn't hold back when it came to spilling the tea. From a very recent breakout to a past fling with Toby Aromolaran, it's clear Arabella had been busy since leaving the ITV2 dating show. So, who is Arabella? What exactly happened between her and Toby? And which season was she originally on? Read on for everything you need to know about Arabella Chi - one of the Islanders in the Love Island: All Stars line-up.

View oEmbed on the source website Arabella is a model and reality TV star who appeared on season 5 of Love Island back in 2019. The season was won by Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea. Following her time on the show, Arabella went to appear in some Hollywood movies, starring as an Amazonian in Justice League and Wonder Woman, alongside Jason Momoa. While living in Ibiza, Arabella was often spotted out on movie star Leonardo DiCaprio's yacht with his close friend Richie Akiva. What season of Love Island was Arabella Chi on? Arabella was on season 5 of Love Island, back in 2019. She coupled up with Danny after a shock recoupling forced him to choose between her and Yewande. She was then voted off the show by the other Islanders. Following Love Island, Arabella began dating season 4 Islander Wes Nelson, and the pair moved in together. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be, as they split nine months later. Their six-year age gap was cited as one of the reasons they decided to call time on their relationship. What happened with Arabella and Toby? It turns out Arabella and Toby previously met. While Toby kept tight-lippe…

description: Jurassic Park! Alan's back on the BBC!
encoded: Comedy fans, rejoice! Steve Coogan is back in his iconic role of hapless broadcaster Alan Partridge as he presents another series of fluffy magazine show This Time. The first series aired back in 2019 and blended Alan's delightfully awkward hosting of The One Show parody with shorter segments which gave us a peek at what goes on when the cameras aren't rolling. It particularly focused on the tension between Alan and his co-presenter Jennie Gresham (Susannah Fielding), ending in a huge fallout between the two that put their future on the show at risk. Presumably, they've worked past their differences as both will be back to front This Time once more – and here you can find everything we know about the new episodes so far. This Time with Alan Partridge series 2 release date CONFIRMED: This Time with Alan Partridge series two premieres on BBC One at 9:30pm on Friday 30th April. The second series was confirmed to be in the works by Steve Coogan himself in February 2020, although the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic delayed production until the end of the year. Co-writer Neil Gibbons had previously told RadioTimes.com that he and his brother Rob, who have worked on all of Alan's recent outings, require a period of "decompression" after completing one of his projects. "When you do Partridge, it’s quite an intense working process" he said. "The writing process never ends really because we write in the writing stage, in the shooting stage and in the editing stage, so you tend not to strategise that many steps ahead. "It’s such an immersive experience that when you come out of it you just want to think about other things, so we don’t really have a life plan for Alan all mapped out. We just wait until the juices start flowing again and then see where we think Alan would go and what he’d be doing and wait for the ideas to bubble up organically."

description: The decision follows the apparent suicide of former Love Island host Caroline Flack
encoded: Love Island and its current sponsor Just Eat have agreed to replace the food delivery service's advertising idents with contact details for welfare charity Samaritans on Monday night's episode of the ITV2 reality show, following the death of former host Caroline Flack. Flack was found dead on Saturday 15th February, with her family's lawyer later confirming to Associated Press that she had taken her own life. In a statement, ITV and Just Eat explained the decision to swap the sponsorship idents for Samaritans details, saying "In light of this weekend's tragic events, Just Eat and ITV have worked with Samaritans to replace the idents for this evening's episode of Love Island so that anyone affected by Caroline's death can access support." Love Island returns to screens after episodes were pulled from the schedules on Saturday and Sunday, and will feature a tribute to Flack from the show's narrator Iain Stirling and the production team. However, Monday-night companion series Love Island: Aftersun will not air this week and Tuesday's podcast Love Island: The Morning After will also take a break. The statement from ITV and Just Eat was accompanied by a message from the broadcaster's director of television Kevin Lygo praising Flack's "dedication and boundless energy". “Everyone at ITV is absolutely devastated and still trying to process this tragic news," said Lygo. "Caroline was part of Love Island from the very beginning and her passion, dedication and boundless energy contributed to the show’s success. “After Caroline stepped down from the show ITV made it clear that the door was left open for her to return and the Love Island production team remained in regular contact with her and continued to offer support over the last few months. “Love Island will return tonight and will include a tribute to Caroline that the team in South Africa and Iain Stirling have put together. Caroline loved Love Island and was very vocal in her support of the show. Viewers could relate to …

Billie Eilish's No Time To Die review: atmospheric and classy - but lacking the punch we need from Bond

description: It's moody and understated, and it riffs on some classic 007 musical motifs - but unlike Bond, Eilish's Bond theme never really kicks off, says Paul Jones
encoded: Billie Eilish’s theme for new Bond film No Time To Die has a lot going for it. It’s easy to imagine shadowy figures darting across the cinema screen as it plays, and a silhouetted woman swinging on a giant gun barrel, legs akimbo (despite the fact that even 007 has moved on a bit since the days of Roger Moore). The opening piano is a wickedly clever riff on the main James Bond motif, the sultry vocals are atmospheric and the one-off echoing wah-wah of the horn on the one-minute mark sends a thrill up the spine (for me, it's the best and most exciting bit of the track – but it's also the right decision not to repeat it). Also recognisably Bond is that jagged electric guitar riff, and then, after a bit of a wait, the trademark horns and swirling strings taking us as close to a crescendo as the song ever reaches. Understated and classy, it marks Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell as song writers with real craft – but is it just a bit too understated? Listen to Billie Eilish's James Bond theme No Time To Die Yes, Bond is about melancholic moments – and no doubt this outing, Daniel Craig's last as an ageing and jaded 007 – will feature plenty of those, but Bond is also about action, excitement and a bit of silliness, about edge-of-the-seat stunts and fights for your life and most of all about the vigorous energy of the main man. Bond isn't always subtle but Eilish’s track is consistently so, with no real highs to counter the lows – I mean, there isn't an orchestra stab in sight! What must Duran Duran think. Despite a hummable tune and great atmospherics, in the end No Time To Die lacks punch and never quite kicks off. And that’s just not very Bond, is it? No Time To Die is released in UK cinemas on 3rd April 2020

encoded: Cash Trapped viewers will experience a first for the ITV game show when they tune in next week, witnessing a contestant quit the quiz – and give up the chance to win tens of thousands of pounds in the process. Fronted by Bradley Walsh, Cash Trapped sees contestants play in teams of six, returning each time until one of them scoops the cash prize. Contestants are free to bow out at the end of each episode, but in the show's three-year history not one has ever chosen to – until now. In the episode in question, Walsh routinely asks the contestants if they want to stay on and is shocked when one chooses to forfeit their place, admitting they miss their children. The quizzer’s exit comes as the show prepares to see the longest run of returning contestants in its history, so it's perhaps no surprise when Walsh admits: “I didn’t see that coming!” Cash Trapped is on ITV on weekdays at 5pm

But there was one key character conspicuous by their absence. Where was Serafina Pekkala? Meet the cast of His Dark Materials When is His Dark Materials on TV? Everything you need to know about the Philip Pullman drama starring James McAvoy Who is new His Dark Materials star Dafne Keen? View oEmbed on the source website Well RadioTimes.com is pleased to reveal that the witch queen has now been cast and that she will be played by Ruta Gedmintas. Fantasy fans will know Gedmintas from her role as vampire-fighting computer hacker Dutch in Guillermo del Toro's The Strain, while others may recognise her from BBC2 comedy Stag, in which she played psychotic killer Sophie. And if you're not familiar with Gedmintas, but do know His Dark Materials, you only need to look at her to see that the BBC have knocked it out of the park with this bit of casting. Gedmintas's hypnotic eyes and ethereal quality perfectly conjure up the Queen of the Lake Enara clan of witches and she is arguably closer in colouring to the blonde Serafina of the books than Eva Green, who played the character in film adaptation The Golden Compass. “I am delighted to join the cast for His Dark Materials," said Gedmintas. "Philip Pullman created a magical universe filled with imagination and complexity that is a dream for me as an actor to delve in to, and I am so excited to be part of this incredible creative team bringing these books to the screen.” Harry Potter and The Cursed Child writer Jack Thorne has adapted the series, with The King’s Speech director Tom Hooper helming the project. It will kick off with an eight-part run covering the first novel, Northern Lights. There's no…

‘Casting’ James Dean in a new movie is a gimmicky publicity stunt

description: "This is not a new James Dean performance, it’s an extended deep fake that co-opts his legacy," says Paul Jones
encoded: James Dean only starred in three films. A tragic car crash – which was nevertheless in keeping with his live-fast image – cut short his life, and a career that could have been epic; another body of work like De Niro’s or Pacino’s. But what if you could bring Dean back, and cast him in another movie? Well, apparently you can, and somebody has. Filmmakers Anton Ernst and Tati Golykh have secured the rights to Dean’s image and have ‘cast’ him in Finding Jack, a Vietnam War-set film – via their recently launched production house Magic City Films – in what The Hollywood Reporter is calling ‘a secondary lead role’. "We searched high and low for the perfect character to portray the role of Rogan, which has some extreme complex character arcs, and after months of research, we decided on James Dean," says Ernst. Leaving aside for a moment the fact that James Dean wasn't a character, he was a man – and the sheer arrogance of the words "we decided on James Dean", as if he is an ingredient to be picked off a supermarket shelf – you have to wonder how anyone would think a computer-generated James Dean combined with a voice artist is going to give a better performance than a real actor, who would have provided face, movements and tailored emoting all for the price of one (or am I just being a cheapskate?) But James Dean's family have apparently sanctioned the idea and, according to Ernst, see the planned film as a valid addition to Dean's legacy. "We feel very honoured that his family supports us and will take every precaution to ensure that his legacy as one of the most epic film stars to date is kept firmly intact,” adds Ernst. “The family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. We do not intend to let his fans down." Well, you already have let his fans down – anyone who thinks constructing an entirely new character and ‘performance’ using computers, photos and some archive footage is a good idea can hardly be a huge fan – and you've also let James Dean do…

Lady Emma and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec performed their Samba to Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber’s I Don’t Care, which had left them with 26 points and just one place from the bottom of the leaderboard on Saturday, while Mike and Katya Jones revisited their Charleston to Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines, which the judges had given 30 points before the public vote sent them into the dance-off for the third week running. Declan Donnelly praises Chris Ramsey after he performs Let’s Get Ready to Rhumble on Strictly Disappointment and a distinct lack of sparkle, 2019 Strictly is reflective of our times Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Mike and Katya, calling theirs “the most challenging and the better dance". Motsi Mabuse agreed, saying "I think everything they did was much clearer to read, much easier to follow and more prepared". And Bruno Tonioli called the performance "more entertaining, richer, more powerful", and noted "something extraordinary happened – the celebrity actually covered for the professional's mistake.” Head Judge Shirley Ballas agreed with the verdict, saying she too would have voted to keep the pair in the competition. Following the result, Emma had some heartfelt words for partner Aljaz, telling him: “I’ve loved this more than anything I’ve done in my entire life. I’m going to be forever grateful to you for working so hard, you’ve been so patient with me and teaching me everything. Thank you, I want to be friends forever because you’re just amazing. I never wanted to let you down, I’m just heartbroken.” Aljaz said: “You never ever let me down from the first day of rehearsals when I walked in.

While Saturday morning may not be the most competitive time of the week, an average audience of 8.9 million and a massive peak of 12.8m demonstrated just how much England's progress to the final had captured the interest of the nation. Sixty-seven per cent of those watching TV at that time chose the early broadcast from the International Stadium in Yokohama, Japan, with 79 per cent tuning in at its height for what ITV say was the most watched TV moment on any channel so far this year, and the biggest audience for a rugby match since the 2007 World Cup Final in which England suffered a slightly narrower defeat, also at the hands of South Africa.

"It has been a joy to play Keanu Taylor for the last two and a half years," said Walters. "I have been blessed to work with the most fantastic creative team and I will miss them and my fellow actors immensely," he told Digital Spy. "EastEnders will always hold a special place in my heart and I will continue to be an avid fan." Soap Box Podcast: the week in Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks 5 things we learnt about new EastEnders family the Panesars Walters' character Keanu Taylor is currently embroiled in one of EastEnders' most mouth-watering storylines, with Sharon Mitchell carrying his baby, unbeknown to husband Phil, while Phil's daughter Louise is also pregnant with Keanu’s child. And EastEnders executive producer Jon Sen said the story would soon be coming to a head. "Keanu's story is set to come to a dramatic and blistering conclusion in the near future as one of the best kept secrets on the Square is finally revealed with devastating consequences," said Sen. "We'd all like to thank Danny for his nuanced performance as Keanu Taylor over the last two and half years. What Danny has brought to his character has been one of the reasons the 'Sheanu' affair has been such compulsive viewing for fans. Everyone at EastEnders wishes him well for the future." The question now is, what exactly will that dramatic conclusion entail? Viewers will no doubt be expecting Phil to learn the truth about Keanu and Sharon's long-running affair, and that the baby he believes is his has been fathered by another man. But what will Phil do if he does find out? EastEnders fans will be only too aware of Phil's violent temper, and the fact that he has plotted to kill his enemies in the past.

For All Mankind review: Apple TV+'s engaging alternate history where men aren't the only ones who get to go to the moon

description: Ronal D Moore's reimagining of the space race finds a convincing way to bring women to the fore
encoded: Battlestar Galactica and Outlander creator Ronald D Moore heads back into space and back into the past again, with one of Apple TV+’s make-or-break launch dramas, For All Mankind. But rather than robot invaders or time travelling romantics, the fantasy here is restricted to an alternative history, asking what would have happened if the Russians had beaten the Americans to landing the first man on the moon. In Moore and co-creators Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert's version of 1969, the US – driven by the utterly self-serving President Nixon (no need for fantasy there) – refuses to take the defeat lying down and the space race rapidly escalates into a Battle To Control the Moon. But while that may sound like the title of a sci-fi B-movie, For All Mankind is ostensibly a period drama – with the drama in question alternating between the immaculate suburban houses of the astronauts and their partners, the NASA Mission Control room, the bar where NASA personnel go to blow off steam (if they really did this much drinking, it's a wonder they ever made it off the launch pad) and, of course, the Moon. The Morning Show review: AppleTV+ flagship drama is “disappointingly mediocre” See review: ‘Apple TV+’s flagship fantasy is a boring, muddled creation’ Dickinson review: Apple TV+ transforms reclusive poet Emily Dickinson into a millennial partygoer The family politics that arise from hard-drinking, occasionally womanising men waiting to blast off into space are dealt with well, but can drag a little, and as you'd expect, the real moments of tension take place when launch time approaches, in front of not only the controls of lunar modules, but also the TV screens where the astronauts' wives gather to watch their husbands' latest nail-biting manoeuvres broadcast live. Whether NASA would really choose to televise in real time so many situations that could quite easily end in the failure of their missions or the deaths of their astronauts is questionable but it's certainly a good techn…

Weighing in at a hefty 2 minutes and 54 seconds, the preview was introduced by star Patrick Stewart at the Picard panel at New York Comic Con, which also featured some of the sci-fi spin-off show's new cast members, Isa Briones (Dahj), Santiago Cabrera (Cristobal “Chris” Rios), Michelle Hurd (Raffi Musiker), Alison Pill (Dr Agnes Jurati), Harry Treadaway (Narek) and Evan Evagora (Elnor). The trailer also gives us a bit more of an insight into how some of those characters might fit in to the post-Starfleet chapter of the former Captain Picard's life – and it seems clear it won't all be sedate visits to vineyards and farms...

Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty will not be disciplined over Trump 'racism' comments

description: The BBC's complaints unit found that Munchetty had breached corporation guidelines but will not be taking any further action
encoded: Naga Munchetty will face no further action from the BBC after breaching the corporation's guidelines on impartiality, RadioTimes.com understands. The BBC received a complaint from a viewer after the Breakfast presenter reacted to comments from US president Donald Trump in which he told “progressive Democrat Congresswomen” to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came". Speaking on the show on 17th July, Munchetty told co-host Dan Walker: “Every time I have been told, as a woman of colour, to go back to where I came from, that was embedded in racism. "Now I'm not accusing anyone of anything here, but you know what certain phrases mean. I can imagine lots of people in this country will be feeling absolutely furious that a man in that position feels it's okay to skirt the lines with using language like that.” View oEmbed on the source website After considering the incident, the BBC's Executive Complaints Unit upheld the complaint saying that although "it was entirely legitimate for Ms Munchetty, when pressed by Mr Walker for a personal response, to reply in terms which reflected her own experience of racism[...] she went on to comment critically on the possible motive for, and potential consequences of, the President’s words. Judgements of that kind are for the audience to make, and the exchange fell short of due impartiality in that respect." However, that appears to be an end to the matter with a source telling RadioTimes.com "Naga will not be facing any further action". The decision will please many viewers, with a poll of our readers indicating that more than 80 per cent believe the presenter should not have action taken against her. Munchetty was also backed by MPs including David Lammy, who called the ECU’s decision “appalling” in a Twitter post, and Dawn Butler, who said: "The fact that someone doesn't realise the comments Trump made are embedded in racism is shocking. Because it is! "Naga was right to call it out thr…

Judging by the pics, Mackenzie Crook's Harka – aka the Dead Man – is leading a bloody raid on the Roman invaders' camp, and David Morrissey's General Aulus Plautius could be among the casualties... Harka is kind of the evil twin to Mackenzie Crook's other Britannia character Veran, leader of the Druids. Although, could it be that even the Dead Man has a softer side?

Will that spell more trouble for the Romans? Or for Cait...? Britannia season 2 begins on Sky Atlantic on Thursday 7th November

description: The first trailer for the on-demand service's new drama doesn't show us its stars Steve Carell, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston - but we do get to hear them
encoded: A cast featuring Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon and Emmy Award winners Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell immediately suggests two things: 1) that the show in question has the potential to be top quality and 2) that it's likely to be a comedy. In fact, Apple TV+'s The Morning Show – which goes behind the scenes on a US breakfast series – has been billed as "a high-stakes drama", and the first teaser only seems to back that up. As a camera tracks slowly down the dimly lit corridors and into the empty dressing rooms and production suite of a TV studio, accompanied by a sombre piano soundtrack, we hear the stars talking earnestly about delivering "sad and upsetting news", the importance of "truth" and "honesty" in journalism, and also hinting at some potential personality clashes. View oEmbed on the source website So anyone hoping for the US version of This Week with Alan Partridge may be out of luck. Having said that, the signs remain positive. While the three stars are all arguably best known for their comedy performances, they've also shown they can turn their hands to drama – Carrell most recently in big screen outings Last Flag Flying and true crime story Foxcatcher, Aniston in The Good Girl and Cake (which even received some Oscar buzz), and Witherspoon, of course, in HBO smash Big Little Lies, to name but one. And – as far as it's possible to tell without actually seeing anything – the conversations sound suitably dramatic and potentially gripping, so this could be a winner even if it probably won't leave you doubled over with laughter. Another question however is will it, and the other big budget shows and big names Apple TV+ has teased – Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories, Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry's series about mental health, JJ Abrams' Little Voice – be enough to get viewers to sign up to the new TV streaming service when it launches around the world this autumn? If the answer is no, that really won't be a laughing matter for Apple. Everything y…

description: Netflix has decided not to renew the mind-bendingly brilliant drama - but if #SaveTheOA doesn't happen, the season two finale will leave us in a perpetual state of wonder, says Paul Jones
encoded: **Contains major spoilers for The OA season two** I thought The OA should have finished after season one. A lot of viewers found the ambiguous ending frustrating, but for me it was perfectly balanced, supporting both possible explanations for the fantastical story we'd just been told: either it was true or it was a figment of central character OA's imagination – one that had nevertheless inspired in the kids who heard it the courage and belief to do something they would otherwise have been unable to, and which potentially saved numerous lives. When they performed 'the Movements' taught to them by OA, did the mystical properties of that act prevent the gunman from carrying out a potential massacre at the school, or was the sight of a group of children standing up in the middle of a canteen doing synchronised avant garde dance moves – while everyone else crouched under tables fearing for their lives – simply so weird that it distracted the gunman long enough for him to be captured? Either explanation works. If you want to believe in magic, you can, and if you want a real-world explanation (which contains magic of its own nonetheless) there it is. And best of all, if you don't want to settle on one or the other, and instead enjoy the ambiguity itself, you get that option too. I loved that, and if The OA hadn't returned for a second season I would have been very satisfied with it as an ending to what is a rare gem in these days of re-commissioning-to-death – an elegant, self-contained single-season drama. View oEmbed on the source website So how do I feel about the news that Netflix has decided not to renew The OA for a third season? Well, it's a disappointment – creators Brit Marling (who also stars as OA and her multiple, multi-dimensional selves) and Zal Batmanglij (who directs) say they have the material to complete what was intended as a five-season arc, and it's clear the show had so much more to give and so many places to go – but I also can't help feeling that i…

Rutger Hauer was my hero before Blade Runner - and then he became an even greater one

description: Paul Jones charts his teenage years through the work of the late, great Rutger Hauer
encoded: I recently answered a thread on Twitter asking people to name the movie quote they would have on their gravestone. It only took a few minutes to come up with it and as soon as I did I knew it was right: "All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." What line of poetry has better captured the tragedy of mortality? It's pretty well known that Rutger Hauer added that line himself to the Blade Runner soliloquy he delivers as replicant Roy Batty – a synthetic human whose factory-set four-year life-span means his own mortality is more integral to who he is than it is even to the average human. Rutger Hauer dissects his iconic "tears in rain" Blade Runner monologue Rutger has sadly now gone the same way as Roy, and the line must surely appear on anything that marks his final resting place, because it is a key part of his legacy, and Roy Batty is his greatest role. Yet while I can chart my teenage years by Rutger Hauer's performances, Blade Runner is not where it began for me. In fact, my first memories of Rutger are in the Guinness “Pure Genius” TV adverts. They were filmed after Blade Runner of course – it got him the gig (although director Ridley Scott was behind the camera in both cases) – but I was 13 when they began and that was years before I saw the movie. This was back in the days when the best TV ads were works of art, and were talked about as much as the shows themselves (in many cases, they were far superior). Dressed all in black with his shock of blond hair, Hauer was basically the living, breathing embodiment of a pint of Guinness. But it was his ethereal quality – and the almost Zen-like nature of the ads – that stuck with me. The best remembered of them features Rutger relaxing in a chair, legs outstretched, sipping a pint of Guinness, in front of the window to an aquarium. Mournful sonar notes ring out as a dolphin hovers by the glass looking in. “It’s not easy being a dolphin,” drawls Rutger. They’re intelligent animals, you see – and they…

encoded: The Love Island gossip was true! The ITV2 reality smash hit will be returning for not one but TWO new UK series next year, with 2020 seeing the regular summer run preceded by an earlier series of the dating show to be based in a new villa in South Africa. Rumours had been swirling in recent weeks that producers were considering building on Love Island's success with a second series for the winter and ITV has now confirmed this will indeed be the case. "In response to this viewer appetite, a new batch of young singletons will deliver some highly anticipated post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location," said the broadcaster's Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions Paul Mortimer. View oEmbed on the source website The decision comes off the back of huge ratings for the ITV2 show, which has been growing year by year and is now the most watched UK programme in the much sought after 16-34 demographic. In fact, taking into account 'four-screen' consolidated viewing – across TV, PC, Mobile and Tablet – the current series of Love Island has broken the 6 million viewers mark for the first time. “Off the back of a record-breaking year, we're delighted to be bringing an extra series of our biggest and sunniest show to the 2020 schedule," said Mortimer. "Love Island has proven yet again to be the perfect format that engages younger audiences." Love Island has now been commissioned in a total of 13 countries, including Australia, Germany, Finland and Sweden, with new shows launching in the US, Belgium, Holland, Poland and Hungary this year.

description: In all the excitement of a new winter series of Love Island, there's one part of ITV's announcement you may have missed...
encoded: There are some big changes taking place on Love Island. In the wake of massive viewing figures for series five, the ITV2 reality behemoth is doubling down next year, with not one but two series for 2020 – the tried and tested summer version and, before that, a new winter Love Island, promising "post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location." That location is South Africa – where it's warm in winter – and, of course, we can expect summer Love Island to continue in its traditional home of Majorca. Or can we...? Buried in the announcement, there's a subtle yet significant phrase that suggests next year's summer show might just be upping sticks and moving on. "In early 2020 Love Island will be back in an all new location, with the first series of the year bringing the sunshine to viewers at home from a brand new villa in South Africa," reads the press release, before continuing: "The summer series will then return to Europe for a summer of love closer to home." Intriguing, no? Love Island confirmed for TWO series in 2020 Everything we know so far about Love Island 2020 Love Island's Curtis Pritchard joins Ru Paul's Drag Race as guest judge True, Majorca is in Europe but if the show is returning there, why wouldn't the announcement just say so? Surely, the only reason it would be phrased in this way is if producers really are seriously considering moving the show to somewhere else on the continent. ITV remained tight-lipped when we asked them about it, which in itself suggests that things aren't exactly cut and dried – and that there really is a chance we could be watching next summer's series beamed from somewhere new. True, Love Island has moved location before. The original series – the celebrity one that's best forgotten about – was filmed in Fiji, while the current version was originally shot in another Majorcan villa before moving to the current one in series three. But that doesn't change the fact that the spiritual home of the series we all…

description: As rumours circulate of a modern-day return for Rowan Atkinson's misanthropic schemer, we consider some settings that might play to the show's strengths, from the Cold War to the media world, the British Raj to Thatcherite politics
encoded: A new series of Blackadder with a modern-day setting and Rowan Atkinson as a university professor taking aim at the foibles of the younger generation? That's the tabloid rumour currently doing the rounds and if it's true it appears on the surface to go against everything that made previous series of the historical comedy work so well. As Stephen Fry, Blackadder's Lord – and later General – Melchett has himself pointed out (via Greg Jenner), 'history is a safe playground for bad taste jokes'. Caricatures work better when there is some distance separating them from us. And Blackadder has always worked by 'punching up' – making targets of over-privileged, ignorant buffoons in high places, not by attacking a generation who are poorer and more disenfranchised than our (anti-)hero Blackadder. Even if you think bringing Blackadder back is a good idea (even after the perfect, heart-wrenching ending of First World War satire Blackadder Goes Forth), that treatment won't work. But here are four cunning plans that could... Blackadder's Cold War If there’s any setting ripe for a Blackadder piss-take, it’s the murky world of mid-20th century Cold War espionage, in the vein of John Le Carré and the real-life Cambridge Spies. I’m picturing Blackadder as a university lecturer (we’ll keep that bit) recruiting and running a cell of undercover Russian agents, and secretly enjoying the luxuries of life in the West as he sends fake reports back to Moscow. The potential for comedy Russians, ham-fisted parallels with present-day issues and awkward situations involving Blackadder’s nonplussed Soviet handlers is endless. Add Hugh Laurie’s George as the worst double agent ever – both sides believe he’s a master spy working for them, whereas he just thinks he has a lot of friendly pen pals – and the series practically writes itself. Welcome, Comrade Baldrick! – Huw Fullerton Blackadder Makes the News It’s the 1980s and Edmund Blackadder is a ruthless tabloid newspaper editor rising up the rank…

As any Doctor Who fan will know, the Ninth Doctor's companion melded with the Time Vortex after looking into the heart of the Tardis and became the powerful being known as Bad Wolf, before scattering the name across the universe and throughout time as a reminder to herself that she was associated with the Doctor. We've all been there, right? The words Bad Wolf have since turned up scrawled across a nightclub poster in the 1980s, around Rose's council estate and graffitied on the Tardis itself. They've given a TV channel its name in the year 200,000, and even appeared in other languages: in Welsh – Blaidd Drwg – as the name of a Cardiff power station, and in German –Schlechter Wolf – painted on the side of a missile on a collision course with a spaceship. And now Bad Wolf has only gone and turned up at Glastonbury, scrawled on a piece of goth rockers The Cure's equipment as they headlined the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night. Everything you need to know about Doctor Who series 12 Chris Chibnall promises “havoc” when Doctor Who brings back the Judoon Which modern Doctor Who character should return to the series? But is this really just another place that Rose Tyler disseminated the name Bad Wolf, or could there be another explanation? In this case, it looks like the latter because Cure bass player Simon Gallup is apparently a big Doctor Who fan and likes to plaster quotes and messages from the show all over his equipment. Take a look at the post below for instance to spot Eleventh Doctor quotes "the Angels have the phone box" and "come along Pond", as well as the series-six episode title A Good Man Goes To War, on Gallup's guitars.

Then again, a Doctor Who fan got to headline Glastonbury – and that should be an inspiration to geeks everywhere.
