description: A familiar face is returning to Walford after 28 years.
encoded: S Club 7 star Jon Lee is reprising his former EastEnders role after almost three decades away. Lee, who shot to fame in the late '90s as part of the pop group responsible for hits such as "Don't Stop Movin'" and "Reach", starred in 18 episodes of the BBC soap between 1997 and 1998. His comeback, will coincide with the funeral of beloved character Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley), who passed away earlier this week in heartbreaking scenes. With wife Julie (Karen Henthorn) and best pal Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) by his side, Nige' envisioned his final moments to be taking place in a idilic beachside setting. His character Josh Saunders is Julie's son, first introduced as a love interest for Nigel's stepdaughter Clare (Gemma Bissix), who will also stage a return for the funeral. Ahead of his return, Lee said: "It was quite surreal stepping back on to Albert Square after so many years as it’s so familiar to so many of us. It was lovely to see my onscreen family again". Bissix added: “When I returned earlier this year, we always knew Clare had to come back for Nigel’s funeral. He meant so much to her, and it felt right to be there for the conclusion of his story, as everyone came together to say their final goodbyes”. He initially prevented a group of bullies from harassing her, and she spent the following weeks trying to gain his attention. When Clare realised his maternal connection to their teacher Julie, she was mortified and called off the relationship. However, some weeks later, the pair reconciled and despite the odd dynamic, was pleased when Nigel pursued his own romance with Julie.

description: Adam Scott leads the cast of this new horror flick from Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy.
encoded: It's become something of a cliché in recent times for almost every horror film that's released to be instantly labelled one of the scariest ever made. Particularly in the two years since the hugely successful viral campaign for Osgood Perkins's Longlegs made that film a (deserved) hit, it seems as if studio marketing departments have gone into overdrive to amp up the fear factor of any slightly horror-adjacent movie in their slate. This often involves slapping ridiculously hyperbolic pull quotes on the posters and online promotional material that warn of true terror and sleepless nights to come. I've lost count of how many films have been declared absolutely terrifying ahead of release since then – with Undertone (scary!) and Lee Cronin's The Mummy (visceral but not especially scary!) two of the most recent examples. And while we're undoubtedly living though an exciting era for horror, exemplified by the huge success of Sinners and Weapons this past awards season, there's perhaps a suggestion that the horror hype machine is doing a little too much. Must everything be the scariest thing ever? Anyway, this brings us to this week's new horror release, Hokum, another film that has already been the subject of some of those aforementioned claims of overwhelming terror. The third feature from Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy – whose terrific 2024 release Oddity is also well worth checking out – it stars Severance's Adam Scott as Ohm Bauman, an American author of some renown who has travelled to a remote inn in rural Ireland to scatter the ashes of his parents, who had spent their honeymoon there. Surprise, surprise, it doesn't take long before it become apparent that everything is not what it seems in this unusual establishment, not least because Ohm immediately encounters the hotel's owner regaling two young children with a spooky tale of a Cailleach, an old Irish mythological witch. Ohm – who has no truck with the supernatural – disdainfully dismisses any suggestion that …

description: An astronaut goes missing on a trip to the moon in ITV's high-concept new series.
encoded: Alex Hassell and Jennifer Ehle have joined the cast of ITV's upcoming space thriller First Woman, which imagines a shocking disappearance that takes place on the lunar surface. The synopsis reads: "A biologist taking part in a groundbreaking research project, Claire Reith (Andrea Riseborough) is the first woman to set foot on the moon, and her disappearance throws suspicion on her fellow astronauts and China's rival base. "With hundreds of thousands of miles between them, can her husband Ben (Ashley Walters) uncover the truth behind his wife's disappearance?" It adds: "With the action switching between Mission Control in the UK and the lunar surface, this is a race against time like no other, with the remaining astronauts under increasing pressure and Ben hoping against hope that he and his wife can be reunited. "But how well can two people really know each other?" Rivals star Hassell has been cast as the UK's "polished, pragmatic and disciplined" Prime Minister Christopher Scott, while Pride and Prejudice alum Jennifer Ehle will play Space Flight Authority investigator Helen Sadler. Of principal concern to Helen will be the claim that Claire had willingly left her Lunar Module in the moments prior to her disappearance, as she suspects Mission Control of attempting to hide something. Meanwhile, PM Scott will be fending for his political career as the catastrophic events unfold, potentially having to take drastic measures "in pursuit of his own personal ambition". They join First Woman leads Riseborough (Alice & Jack) and Walters (Adolescence) in the high-concept series, which is created by lead writer Lydia Yeoman (Curfew) and directed by Philip Martin (Scoop, The Crown). The commission was announced last week and filming is currently taking place in Belfast. Riseborough commented: "As a kid, I dreamed, perhaps more than anything, of space. Of emptiness and stars, and the vastness of all that those 'grounded' reflected on in verse. "I can't imagine a kinder, bolder,…

description: The tour will kick off in August at Leicester's Curve Theatre.
encoded: Former EastEnders star John Partridge is set to star as Dr Hannibal Lecter, one of the most famous fictional serial killers, in a stage adaptation of Silence of the Lambs. The play, which has been adapted by Gina Gionfriddo from Thomas Harris's book of the same name, will open at Curve Theatre, Leicester, where it will run from 1 to 15 August 2026 before touring across the UK and Ireland. The official synopsis for the production reads: "When FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to interview the psychiatrist and infamous murderer Hannibal Lecter, it’s hoped his brilliant mind will help catch the sadistic new serial killer, Buffalo Bill. "Another girl is missing, and time is running out. But Dr Lecter has questions of his own, and now Clarice must decide: keep a safe distance, or let Hannibal ‘The Cannibal’ into her head?" Partridge is best known for appearing as Christian Clarke in EastEnders, as well as his stage roles, which include The Rum Tum Tugger in Cats the musical and Hugo Battersby in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. The actor's casting as Dr Hannibal Lecter will see him follow in the footsteps of Anthony Hopkins, who played the character in the 2001 film of the same name, and Mads Mikkelsen, who appeared in the leading role in the hit TV series Hannibal. Partridge said of his casting in a statement: "How often does an actor get to play a role that by simply saying the character’s name, it takes your breath away. It’s a huge honour, and I intend to savour every morsel of it!’’ Curve's artistic director, Nikolai Foster, who's serving as director, added: “Taking on a role like Hannibal Lecter requires real guts, tenacity and an appetite to confront the darkest depths of the human condition. "Working with John on the role has been incredibly inspiring - his instincts are razor sharp - and there is no finer actor to bring to life Thomas Harris’s most chilling creation in our world premiere stage adaptation.” Head to our Going Out section for exclusive interview…

description: Sergei Nikulov and Irina Morozova are back in business in Star City.
encoded: For All Mankind spin-off Star City is about to bring back some very familiar characters - but they've all been recast from the original. The prequel is set in 1960s/70s USSR (in parallel to the early seasons of For All Mankind), telling the space race story from the Soviet perspective after they became the first nation to place a man on the moon in the alt-history series. Within that story, we're set to see younger versions of iconic For All Mankind characters, most prominently Irina Morozova (played by Svetlana Efremova in For All Mankind and Agnes O'Casey in Star City) and Sergei Nikulov (played by Piotr Adamczyk in for All Mankind and Josef Davies in Star City). Explaining what went into recasting those roles at a special screening of Star City in partnership with Radio Times, co-creator and showrunner Matt Wolpert told us: "It was certainly complicated because obviously we love the actors who played the older versions of them. View Green Video on the source website "But honestly, we looked at it as an opportunity to find the younger versions of them, and it was so important to find actors who captured the essence of those characters. With Sergei, Josef Davies brilliantly captures that intelligence and that warm-heartedness of Sergei Nikulov. "And for Irina Morozova, what was fascinating was, when we meet her in For All Mankind, she's this kind of cold, powerful woman, and getting to show the kind of the younger version of her who isn't that at all, and seeing the journey of her and how she became that woman is something that, creatively, we're really excited to tell." Both Davies and O'Casey mentioned to Radio Times that they looked to the performances from their characters' original actors when crafting the younger versions for Star City. Davies added: "I think in this telling of him, we're coming at the younger side of him, I think he's got a completely different energy, and he he is about to experience all the things that are moulding him into the version of …

description: Viewers can start catching up soon.
encoded: The fourth season of sci-fi chiller From finally has a confirmed UK schedule, following weeks of uncertainty over when exactly it would make the journey across the pond. The hit series stars Lost alum Harold Perrineau as one of the unfortunate inhabitants of a mysterious town, where those who enter find themselves unable to leave. Retired soldier Boyd Stevens (Perrineau) steps up as the leader of the community, who find themselves tormented by all manner of terrors as they attempt to understand – and hopefully escape – their nightmarish ordeal. From season 4 premiered in the US earlier this month on MGM+, but UK viewers have not yet been able to tune into the latest episodes. Fortunately, that's changing soon, as Sky has confirmed today. Mark your calendars: From season 4 will premiere on Sky One and NOW on Thursday 14 May 2026, kicking off with a double-bill that should be a treat for fans eager to catch up. After the launch, From season 4 will drop back to a pace of one episode per week, which suggests a likely finale on Thursday 9 July – although that's unconfirmed for the time being. If you're as excited as we are, check out the From season 4 trailer below: View Green Video on the source website Earlier this year, From was renewed for a fifth and final season that will ensure creator John Griffin can finish the story as he originally intended. Indeed, lead actor Perrineau has pushed back against unfounded speculation that the show has been "cancelled", reiterating instead that From always had a five-season plan, which is now reaching its natural conclusion. Comparisons with Lost have been made due to the isolated setting and countless viewer questions, while From executive producers Jack Bender, Jeff Pinkner and Perrineau all share credits on that earlier series. Here's hoping that Griffin's ending to From will be a tad less polarising. From is available on Sky One and NOW.

encoded: Walford grieved one of their finest in today's episode of EastEnders, as news spread of Nigel Bates's (Paul Bradley) death. Bradley reprised his role in December 2024 after a 26 year absence, and as the weeks rolled by, it became apparent that he was hiding something. He eventually chose to divulge the fact he had been diagnosed with young-onset dementia to old friend Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), and the men quickly rekindled their childhood friendship. As Nigel's condition worsened, Phil promised to stand by him. However, in recent months, Nige's condition rapidly worsened and he was forced to move into a care home. Phil believed that he'd betrayed his mate, and chose not to join the other residents in visiting. When Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) arrived back in Walford, he feared that his brother had taken a turn for the worse and that he was on the brink of another spate of poor mental health. This was only intensified when he discovered Phil scouring a beach searching for a specific type of stone that Nigel had asked for. He convinced him to say his final goodbyes, and the two had an eventful trip to the care home. After a series of setbacks, Phil hitched a ride on the back of a pizza delivery motorbike, and was sat with Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn) as Nigel slipped away. In today's episode, the pair remained at the facility as the sun began to rise. Julie said she was ready to leave, as her husband was no longer there. She reflected on the times she had with Nigel, but had accepted that his spirit had left.

Focused entirely on Pokémon battling, it's probably the closest we're ever going to get to Pokémon Showdown on a Nintendo console. So, if you're looking to Pokémon battle on your phone, here's what you need to know about the Pokémon Champions mobile release date! When is the Pokémon Champions release date on mobile? Pokémon Champions is currently scheduled to release in 2026 on mobile devices. The game will be releasing on both iOS and Android devices when it does launch. Of course, the game is already out on Nintendo Switch, having released in April this year. What is Pokémon Champions? Pokémon Champions is a free-to-start, turn-based strategy spin-off built to focus entirely on Pokémon battles rather than a dedicated open-world RPG. Developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak, it centres on online competition, with Ranked, Casual, and Private Battles available in both Single and Double formats. Players can put together teams by recruiting Pokémon in-game or by bringing certain partners over through Pokémon Home (from Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A, FireRed & LeafGreen, etc), while cross-platform play is planned across Nintendo Switch and mobile. Along with supporting major power-up mechanics from mainline games via the player's Omni Ring — Mega Evolution, Z-moves, Gigantamax, Dynamax, and Terastallization — Champions is replacing the use of the latest mainline Pokémon games at official Play! Pokemon VGC events, like the Pokemon World Championships; with that, players can consistently take part in the competitive scene without having to start over every few years with the newest title, as Champions can simply update its meta with the latest mechanics as the meta evolves with new games.

The action thriller, based on AJ Quinnell's book series, follows Creasy to Rio de Janeiro for a security job, courtesy of his old colleague Rayburn, where he winds up being thrust back into another volatile situation. Following Rayburn's death after the condo tower he lived in is blown up, Creasy vows to protect his friend's daughter Poe, the sole survivor who finds herself on a hit list after glimpsing the face of one of the men responsible. And against the odds, he succeeds, while also exposing the president of Brazil, his head of security, and CIA field agent Tappan, the man Poe witnessed at the scene of the crime, who were behind the plot to destabilise Brazil for their own political gain. But this is clearly just the beginning for Abdul-Mateen II's Creasy, with Mexico City on the cards. Will we get a front row seat?

The series, which is being described as a “glossy, sun-soaked” drama and is based on the best-selling book series, will debut in July on Sky and NOW in the UK and Ireland. The plot follows Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed cook and best-selling author known for her delicious recipes and warm demeanour. However, when she suffers a devastating loss, the cracks in her picture-perfect life soon begin to emerge - her strained marriage and complicated relationship with her daughter, and her need for validation from fans. Hollis decides to host a soul-searching weekend away at her house on Nantucket with four friends from different stages of her life, during which boundaries are pushed and secrets soon bubble to the surface, leading to a getaway like no other. The trailer gives fans a first look at Chan (Humans), D'Arcy Carden (The Good Place), Regina Hall (Girl's Trip) and Chloë Sevigny in action as the four friends joining Hollis on the weekend away. "He's gone, and now you have to live," Chan's character Gigi tells Hollis at the start of the trailer, before things take a darker turn, with D'Arcy Carden’s character Brooke saying: “Doesn’t she deserve to know the truth, even if it hurts?"

encoded: If you’re a fighting game fan and have been refreshing the timeline today, then you have seen Injustice 3 rumours flying around today, but why are people talking about it? The last Injustice game, Injustice 2, came out in 2017, and developers NetherRealm Studios have been busy with Mortal Kombat games every since, making the prospect of a third game seem increasingly unlikely, as there had only been a four year gap between the first and second games. Hopes were raised when a MultiVersus dataminer supposedly uncovered evidence that a new Injustice game was in development, but almost a year went by without so much as a peep. That is, until 29 April, when MP1st reported that Injustice 3 is indeed in development with NetherRealm Studios helming the project. MP1st spotted a resume from an artist employed at Warner. Bros Games that included Injustice 3 as part of their listed experience, alongside Hogwarts Legacy 2 and "2 Unannounced Projects". This is what is known in the industry as 'a bit of an oopsie', but it comes as much welcome news for DC fans, who haven’t received many good games in recent years, save for the VR game, Batman: Arkham Shadow. The upcoming LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight looks like it will be terrific too, so it does seem like Warner Bros. Games is starting to course-correct after misfires such as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which Radio Times Gaming editor Rob Leane called "dead on arrival". View Green Video on the source website But, turning our attention to those unannounced projects, we wonder if one, or both of them, will end up being the much-rumoured Lord of the Rings games, one of which was said to be developed by Kingdom Come: Deliverance II developers Warhorse Studios.

Why are so many politicians turning to the world of TV when power fails?

description: Michael Portillo is so good at what he does on TV it’s easy to forget he was once an MP. The same isn’t true for everyone…
encoded: Add Great Korean Railway Journeys to your watchlist If the late politician Enoch Powell genuinely believed what he said about all political lives ending in failure, he’d surely have been flummoxed to witness the second coming of Michael Portillo. Nearly 30 years after the shock loss of his Enfield Southgate seat, the former Conservative MP stands beaming on the border of North and South Korea, with remarkable sang-froid for a man sporting cherry tomato chinos in one of the world’s most ferociously guarded military zones. Portillo’s new BBC series Great Korean Railway Journeys finds him meeting monks in temples and trading blows with taekwondo masters. A generation of viewers could be forgiven for having no idea of his political hinterland, and knowing him only as TV’s resident train enthusiast, whose biggest daily decision is between the strawberry slacks and the cornflower blue blazer – or why not both? Even for those with deeper memories, Portillo has long shaken off his Westminster years, a rollercoaster from his “Thatcher’s favourite” tag to the ignominy of 1997. In fact, he once told me of his abrupt political exit: “It was a very useful experience. It forced me to expand my horizons, which was obviously necessary.” No doubt, it’s helped that his rebirth – via an invitation to front 1998 Channel 4 series Portillo’s Progress – has heralded such a successful second act. Portillo is by no means the only figure to swap the corridors of power for the shiny floors of TV studios. In 1979, long before any ex-cabinet member’s rite of passage included hosting a podcast, or MPs, some still-serving, opted to line their pockets, sorry, I mean reach out to their constituents, with a foray into the celebrity jungle, Harold Wilson hosted an episode of BBC chat show Friday Night, Saturday Morning, when viewers were treated to the bizarre – some might say self-indulgent – spectacle of the former PM interviewing guests, including his own interlocutor Robin Day, his own impersonat…

description: Amanda may not know it, but despite being a flawed failure, she’s never been more popular
encoded: Add Amandaland to your watchlist Over three series of Motherland, Lucy Punch’s Amanda was the “has-it-all” rich parent others were jealous of. But when she returned in spin-off Amandaland last year, divorced, financially struggling and forced to move from Chiswick to south Harlesden (rechristened “SoHa”), Amanda seemed on her uppers. It’s ironic that in the real world, Amanda’s ruin has brought her more success than ever, with huge ratings (it was BBC One’s number-one comedy in 2025) and critical acclaim. Clearly, we’re all living in Amandaland now. “She has many flaws, Amanda, but I think she’s sort of relatable because we all do,” Punch tells RT. “Everyone can relate to being a bit selfish or a bit vain. It just happens that all of her flaws are on show at the same time, all the time.” That’s never clearer than in the first episode of the second series, which sees Amanda turn a school careers day into her version of a TED talk, in order to compete with a new rival – Abs (played by Harriet Webb). But all the studio lights in the world can’t make Amanda’s failed “influencer” career seem impressive. “She’s desperate for everyone to think she’s doing really well,” series co-creator Holly Walsh says. “She’s clearly not, but she’s getting on with it. She has made really good friends, and she’s making herself a permanent fixture in SoHa, which is probably the theme of series two. “She is a gift to write for because she is so up herself that it’s really fun to take her down a few pegs. But also there is something very vulnerable about her – she has a lot of issues with her mother and her divorce.” “She was sort of the villain of Motherland and a bit despicable,” adds Punch. “But I decided that having fallen from grace and lost her status, she’d grown up a bit and no longer believed that she’s better than everyone. She still wants everyone else to think that – but she doesn’t think it.” The new series of Amandaland starts on Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One

Considering we just had karaoke added to the game, perhaps we’ll be able to do acapella renditions of the Star Wars Cantina Band… If you tire of big crossovers, then perhaps you would be more interested in player-driven experiences, such as Fortnite Be a Lucky Block and Fortnite Steal the Brainrot. But, as for Fortnite update v40.30, read on. Fortnite update today (30 April): What changes in the patch notes? Lots of new content is being added to Fortnite today, but some of it won’t become available until 1 May. Much of it, as we are approaching Star Wars Day (4 May), is Star Wars themed, and one of the big new additions is that Star Wars content is now available via the Star Wars toolkit, which allows developers to create Star Wars games within UEFN. Epic Games and Lucasfilm have created their own modes and islands, three of which are listed below. Galactic Siege (developed with JOGO Studios, island code: 5003-9856-3648) – Fight in large-scale PvP class-based battles with 10v10 combat across iconic Star Wars planets. Escape Vader (made with Beyond Creative, island code: 7285-4185-5428) – Hide, run, and try to survive in this 4-player co-op game where you attempt to escape the terrifying Sith Lord, Darth Vader. Droid Tycoon (created with FOAD, island code: 7865-8305-9184) – Build and customize droids using authentic Star Wars blueprints, manage your workshop and factory systems, and unlock rare components and special missions. Other than that, there are the usual bug fixes, optimisations and nefs, and you can check out the full patch notes below.

encoded: Add Amandaland and Conversations From a Long Marriage to your collection Dame Joanna Lumley is talking make-up. We’re discussing her birthday in early May, when she will be turning 80 (I know, look at her, ridiculous!), and the words just pop out from me: “Well, if you’ve had work done, it’s bloody good!” The radiant apparition peers into the camera and says: “No, look closely… I’ve got a sort of regular face, if you know what I mean, and my make-up is like drawing on a face. “I put it on to see you,” she adds, “because if I didn’t you’d think, a) I hadn’t tried, and b), ‘Gosh, she looks a bit washed out!’” It was as a model in the 1960s that La Lumley learnt how to create different looks. “It was less frantically expensive then,” she explains, “and less in your face, less always saying, ‘You’ll die if you don’t have these peptides’ and how, in 20 seconds, your whole face could look like a child!” In that era, she says, models had to carry all their own make-up – and even wigs – so that in a flash they could change from “pert office girl to hostess entertainer at home to a young mother… it was a very imaginative, almost theatrical way of looking at things. But I’m really not obsessed with appearance. I think what you should do is try and look nice and then forget about it.” Our interview is wide-ranging, swooping from surface matters to the meaning of life, from what grosses her out (sex scenes, vomiting) to the importance of reading, tolerance and kindness, smoking (she still does), immigration, dying and the law around it. The strongest feeling is one of a person who is thoroughly engaged in the now, loving her work, her husband of four decades, Stephen Barlow – conductor, composer, and her co-host on their 2024 Joanna Lumley and the Maestro podcasts – the joys of friendship, travelling (for documentaries and pleasure entwined), art. There is something luminous about her through and through, but also down to earth and, yes, as so many friends have asked, funny. Yo…

While McKellar seemed "perfect on paper", a confession changed everything and rocked Muirhead to her core, with her story being told in a brand new Netflix documentary, Should I Marry a Murderer? The three-part series "explores the moral dilemma at the heart of this story," says director Josh Allott. "Do you choose to keep that secret and live with the awful consequences or reveal it and destroy the person you love and everything you’ve hoped for?" But what exactly did Alexander McKellar confess to Muirhead and where is Muirehead now? Read on find out more. What did Alexander 'Sandy' McKellar do? In September 2017, Alexander McKellar was driving under the influence of alcohol and collided with 63-year-old cyclist Tony Parsons. Parsons was on a 100-mile solo bike ride for charity when McKellar struck him, though he was not immediately killed on impact. Alexander, along with his brother Robert who as in the passenger seat, fled the scene to hide the car before returning to hide Parsons's body. The brothers hid the body in a pit used for the disposal of animal carcasses. How was Alexander 'Sandy' McKellar caught? McKellar was eventually brought to justice for his crimes three years later after confessing to his girlfriend. When Caroline Muirhead asked McKellar if there was anything in his past that could affect their future, he disclosed details of the crash to her and drove her to where he and his brother disposed Parsons' body and belongings. Muirhead left a can of Red Bull in the area as a marker for the police to find. The brothers were arrested in December 2020 and Parsons' body was recovered for forensic investigation in January 2021. Where is Caroline Muirhead now? After the trial, Caroline moved to the seaside, became sober and focused on rebuilding bonds with loved ones. She is now in a new relationship.

encoded: Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) has no idea of what's about to hit him in Emmerdale. The scheming businessman has wronged a lot of people in his lifetime, though may have just met his match in the Dingle clan. Earlier this week, Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) discovered that Joe had blackmailed Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) into planting passports belonging to Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) and Ray Walters's (Joe Absolom) enslaved workers in the living room of Butler's Farm. She was framed, and sent down for several months on a human trafficking and double murder charge. If Robert had refused, Joe would've took an incriminating video of Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) killing her half-brother John (Oliver Farnworth) to the police. Becoming increasingly guilt-ridden, Robert decided to come clean. Moira was, understandably, furious - though said that she wouldn't go to the police - it was her husband Cain (Jeff Hordley) that he had to be afraid of! Seeking revenge, she made her way to Home Farm, aiming a double-barreled shotgun towards Joe. He begged her to not pull the trigger, and called out for Graham Foster's (Andrew Scarborough) help when he heard him entering. Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) was the next to arrive, and the only way she could stop Moira was by revealing she was pregnant with Joe's baby. Joe promised her that he was telling the total truth, and that although he was aware of what Robert had done, it was all his idea to gain control of Butler's. It was immediately clear that she was sceptical.

description: Former Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker also has a key role in upcoming Netflix movie Office Romance.
encoded: Netflix has released the first trailer for upcoming romcom Office Romance – which is co-written by Ted Lasso favourite Brett Goldstein and stars him alongside Hollywood icon Jennifer Lopez. Described by Netflix as "a raunchy romantic comedy about a secret office romance and the trouble two workaholics get in when they start thinking with their hearts", the film has been confirmed for a release date of Friday 5 June on the streamer. The cast also includes major roles for GLOW's Betty Gilpin and Edward James Olmos – the latter of whom will be playing the father of Lopez's character, almost 30 years after he did the same in 1997 musical biopic Selena. Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that former Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker would be one of many big names in the starry supporting cast, with others including The West Wing's Bradley Whitford, Arrested Development's Tony Hale and comedian Amy Sedaris. In the trailer, we learn that J-Lo's character is something of a feared boss – with Goldstein playing a new lawyer at her airline company who is warned of her terrifying nature by his new colleagues. But it looks like the pair instantly get on and are soon sharing in a passionate romance, albeit one which they are keen to hide from their co-workers, with J-Lo saying: "If we get caught, it could destroy everything I've built." There's also a brief glimpse of Whittaker – who appears to be playing the incarcerated sister of Goldstein's character – at the end of the trailer. You can watch it in full below: View oEmbed on the source website Speaking about the film earlier this month, Goldstein explained: "Every day I come to work to do a romcom with Jennifer Lopez and this incredible cast, and I expect people to jump out and tell me I’m being pranked."

description: The name's preview – 007 First Light hands-on preview.
encoded: It has been 14 years since the last major James Bond video game; longer still since the last decent one. It is therefore hardly a surprise that 007 First Light has garnered such widespread attention, with gamers and Bond fans alike keeping their eyes on it, eager for a return to form for a series that once – albeit nearly 30 years ago – dominated gaming culture. After a couple of hours hands-on with the game, if the rest of First Light lives up to what I experienced, then Bond could very well be back in business. For those unaware, 007 First Light is a wholly original Bond story, telling the tale of a young Bond on his way to earning his licence to kill. We kick off in Iceland, where James is party to a military operation gone wrong. With no other choice, MI6 intervenes and directs the pre-spy Bond on a top-secret mission, culminating in his recruitment to the agency. Unlike the Bonds we are used to, he's rough around the edges. The irrepressible charm and wit, unsharpened by years in the business, instead comes out as a brash cockiness – this is an immature young man who hasn't quite realised that he isn't hot shit just yet. Again, I was not able to form much of a view on our supporting cast, but their performances are just as strong, and Bond bounces off each character superbly, thanks to some great writing. To be clear, this is not James Bond as we know him; it's young Bond. This is to say that he may not be for everyone, but for what the writers were aiming for, I think they and Gibson have done a bang-up job in imagining who a raw and unfiltered young 007 is. But enough about acting; this is a game after all, and developer IO Interactive has made use of their years of Hitman experience to deliver a solid stealth experience. Initially, things start off very basic. You're hiding in the grass, causing minor distractions and taking out guards. In Iceland, since you're very much learning the ropes, there's quite a lot of leeway for you to screw up and still get the …

It was announced last week that an episode of the legendary sketch show starring the British comedy icons from season 1 - which wasn’t archived at the time of broadcast - had been recovered. The episode, which was previously thought to be lost forever, was discovered at the estate of a former TV professional by Film Is Fabulous! - a charitable trust run by film collectors and television enthusiasts. Now, the BBC has revealed that the episode, which first aired on 16 September, 1968, will be shown on BBC Four and BBC iPlayer on Thursday 14 May 2026 - the day that Eric Morecambe would have turned 100. BBC Four will also air a collection of sketches called The Perfect Morecambe and Wise to mark the anniversary. The ‘missing’ episode, which was the third instalment from Morecambe and Wise’s first series after returning to the BBC, features British actress Ann Hamilton appearing in a sketch set in a nudist colony, as well as Jenny Lee-Wright playing Morecambe’s niece. It also includes a musical performance from the female trio The Paper Dolls. Noreen Adams, Director of BBC Archives, said in a statement: “Morecambe and Wise are one of the UK’s most loved comedy duos. Thanks to Film Is Fabulous! - we’re delighted to share this comedy gold that we thought was lost forever with viewers across the UK." Eric Morecambe’s daughter, Gail Morecambe, added that she's "really looking forward to seeing it on a screen once again after so many years", and that she's "especially thrilled that it coincides with my father’s centenary year". Eric Morecambe’s son, Gary Morecambe, said: "I honestly didn’t think there was anything out there left to find, and when something like this comes out of nowhere, it’s really quite wonderful." Last month, Film is Fabulous restored missing Doctor Who episodes The Nightmare Begins and Devil's Planet, which were broadcast back…

The Sun has reported that, ahead of the second season debuting, a third season is already in the works, showing the streamer's confidence in the show moving forward. A TV insider told the publication: “Thankfully the quality of the show and the ratings have convinced bosses that the drama is worth committing to. It is top-level production and directed by Guy Ritchie and has been well received by critics and, generally, by the viewers." Radio Times has approached Paramount+ for comment. The cast of MobLand is led by Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, while other British acting favourites who appear in key roles include Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Janet McTeer and Lara Pulver, Janet McTeer and Toby Jones. Meanwhile, the cast also features Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson and Jordi Mollà. The series has been created by Top Boy and The Day of the Jackal writer Ronan Bennett, while Ritchie acts as an executive producer and director. When the show's renewal for season 2 was announced, Chris McCarthy, one of Paramount Global’s three CEOs and the president of Showtime/MTV Entertainment, said in a statement: "With more than 26 million viewers and climbing, MobLand has become a resounding triumph — driven by the creative brilliance of Guy [Ritchie], Jez [Butterworth], Ronan [Bennett] and David Glasser, and brought to life by the powerhouse performances of Tom [Hardy], Pierce [Brosnan], and Helen [Mirren]. "We are elated to greenlight a second season of this global phenomenon, which has dominated both domestic and international charts and soared to No. 1 in the UK." Meanwhile, Butterworth, a writer on the show, said: "TV was a brand new world for me and I was reluctant to commit to a TV overall, but Chris, David, and the teams at Paramount and 101 Stud…

In recent years, a number of characters from 20th Century Fox's classic X-Men films have already cropped up in the MCU, with several more joining the party in December's epic crossover Avengers: Doomsday. However, fans shouldn't get too attached to any of these returning favourites, who seem to be on their farewell tour – with a group of fresh faces gradually assembling to pick up where they leave off. It's not yet clear who will be inheriting the iconic roles of Storm, Cyclops and Jean Grey, among others, but we do know the creatives tasked with telling their stories – and roughly when to expect to see the team in action. If you're as excited as we are for a new generation of Marvel mutants, read on for everything we know so far about the X-Men reboot in the MCU. X-Men MCU reboot release date speculation View Green Video on the source website Marvel Studios has yet to announce when its X-Men reboot will be released, but we do know that it will be sometime after December 2027's crossover spectacular Avengers: Secret Wars. Previously, producer Kevin Feige explained (via Deadline): "The whole story of Secret Wars really leads us into a new age of mutants and of the X-Men. Again, [it's] one of those dreams come true. We finally have the X-Men back." As Variety reported last summer, Marvel Studios currently has four release dates assigned for unspecified Marvel projects in 2028, February, May, November and December, one of which is likely to be X-Men. Some have speculated that the February date could go to Ryan Coogler's third Black Panther film, which is known to be in development and would return the series to the US and Canada's Black History Month (where it launched in 2018). If that proves to be true, it would leave the X-Men free to nab the early summer date or, alternativ…

While gamers and the press may not have been shocked after getting to play E33, the game's success still came as something of a surprise to Clair Obscur writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen and Lune actor Kirsty Rider. Not only that, to avoid any crushing post-launch disappointment, actor Ben Starr even told Monoco actor Rick Keeble not to bet on it being a success. Fortunately, this did not transpire, but Starr still wouldn’t reprise Verso in the Clair Obscur film despite the critical acclaim. View oEmbed on the source website Much of what makes Clair Obscur so interesting is its storied development, and how different actors performed different parts of each character that comprised the cast, with Gustave having motion capture performed by Maxence Cazorla and the English voice coming from one Charlie Cox. With a performance already in the bag, the Radio Times Gaming team were curious how Cox went about portraying Gustave, and as it turns out he wasn’t so sure at first. “I didn't even know what I was getting myself into when I showed up for the voiceover element of the job,” Cox told us on the BAFTA Games Awards red carpet. “I was watching his performance on screen, and I said early on to the creators, ‘What are you hoping that I'm going to kind of reinvent this with my own interpretation? Or are you hoping that I'm going to kind of match what he's already done vocally?’” Cox continued To Cox’s surprise, they said, “Look, we love what Maxence has done. So if you're comfortable, you know, kind of almost copying him…”, which Cox concedes made his life “very, very easy".

Ahead of season 5, he told SFX Magazine: "It's a battle, and there are going to be casualties. It would be unrealistic not to. It bums me out when you have a big, epic sci-fi show, and then at the end, it's like, 'Oh, everyone's fine.' I keep yelling at the screen, 'Things cost things, you can't just get away with this!' So yes, I wouldn't get too attached to any single character." But who has actually bit the dust so far? Read on for a full list of the major character deaths from The Boys season 5. Every major death in The Boys season 5 so far A-Train One of the biggest deaths of the season, and indeed of the show, thus far, came in the first episode of this latest run, with Jessie T Usher's A-Train biting the dust. He was killed by Homelander, after avoiding running into a bystander and thus tripping over. In doing so, he proved how much he had changed from the first episode, when he ran right through Hughie's girlfriend Robin. Right before Homelander snapped his neck, A-Train taunted him, saying: "You're just an empty f**king suit. Take away these powers and what are you? A pathetic, weak, snivelling f**king loser." Love Sausage Love Sausage's long-running feud with Mother's Milk was brought to a close in the first episode of The Boys season 5, with MM engaging him in a fight at the Freedom Camp. In the end, MM stabbed Love Sausage's penis multiple times with a piece of broken wood, before strangling him to death with it. Quite the fitting – if utterly disgusting – ending.

The official track list for the film has been announced just ahead of its release in cinemas, with three tracks from pop icon Lady Gaga – who also has a cameo appearance in the film – headlining the soundtrack. One of those tracks is Runway, a collaboration with acclaimed singer and rapper Doecchi, while the other two are titled Shape of a Woman and Glamorous Life, though earlier reports of a collaboration with Chappell Roan appear to be wide of the mark. However a number of other big names in pop appear, including the likes of Olivia Dean, Laufey and Raye – so there's no shortage of talent to match the star-studded ensemble on screen.

description: The actor bowed out in January, but will be back.
encoded: Max Murray is returning to EastEnders, just months after troubled Joel Marshall made his last appearance. The character's sentencing, which came after he was found guilty of grievous bodily harm, voyeurism, and producing and distributing indecent images of a child, aired off-screen earlier this month and Murray didn't reprise his role for these scenes. A BBC spokesperson has told Radio Times today, 30 April: "We can confirm that Max Murray will be returning to EastEnders." This comes following reports from Digital Spy that Murray is already filming new scenes at the soap's set in Elstree, Hertfordshire, and will be back on our screens within weeks. During Joel's January court appearance, it became clear that despite the testimonies given by victims Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) and Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), he couldn't see the error of his ways. This proved too much for Vicki, who rushed out of the courtroom in tears, fearing that her attacker would never face justice for his crimes. As viewers will recall, he brutally assaulted her and was left for dead following the ordeal. After some reassurance from Avani – who he secretly recorded himself sleeping with before shaming her for falling pregnant with his child – she returned to court and faced Joel.

He laughed in Avani's face as she delivered her statement, and told the court that he felt he'd been repeatedly failed by his dad and Vicki, who had paid off another of his victims. Joel said that they had been a terrible example to him, and as a result, couldn't decipher right from wrong. When the judge came to give her verdict, she delivered some surprising news. Joel had decided to change his plea to guilty. While this was somewhat of a relief to Vicki, she couldn't he…

description: Kudrow and her co-stars earn an astounding amount a year in residuals when Friends is re-aired.
encoded: Friends star Lisa Kudrow has revealed the amount of money she and her former cast mates receive in residuals more than 20 years after the beloved sitcom ended. The actress, along with her co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer and the late Matthew Perry, all rose to global stardom over the course of the show’s 10-season run between 1994 and 2004. Although the six cast members reportedly started out on $22,500 per episode in season 1, they famously negotiated together to increase their salaries to $1 million per episode in the last two seasons, and earned at least $2.5 million each for featuring in the 2021 reunion episode, according to Variety. Now, Kudrow and her co-stars earn an astounding $20 million a year in residuals when Friends is re-aired, Kudrow recently revealed in an interview with The Times. Kudrow went on to elaborate on the show’s enduring legacy, saying that she rewatched it after Perry's death in 2023. "After Matthew died I watched the show again. Before, I only saw what I did wrong or could have done better, but for the first time I truly appreciated just how great it was," she said. She continued: "Because there was a genius at work. And whatever any of us do in the future, we will never experience something like that again. I felt I did OK, but Jennifer and Courteney? Amazing. David and Matt? They had me laughing so hard. And then Matthew – he was just beyond us all." Kudrow previously said she’d love to see a reboot of Friends – a topic that has long been debated by fans – but on the condition that there’s an entirely new cast. She told Where Is the Buzz: "I don’t think there’s going to be a Friends reboot. I mean, not with any of us in it; not that Marta [Kauffman] and David [Crane] are writing." "But a reboot, you mean like they hire other actors?" she continued, adding that she would be keen to see that version materialise. "I would love to see what that would be," she said. "That would be really good." Check …
