description: When can we expect this open-world prequel?
encoded: With every trailer, excitement is growing more and more for the upcoming Crimson Desert release date. A prequel to hit MMO Black Desert Online, the game was first announced back in 2023, and the more we've seen of it, the more promising it looks. Unlike many modern titles, developer Pearl Abyss is eschewing the popular Unreal Engine 5 in favour of their own in-house engine, the incredibly impressive BlackSpace Engine. If you're as excited for Crimson Desert as we are, here's what you need to know about the release date, pre-orders, trailers and more. When is the Crimson Desert release date? Crimson Desert releases on 19th March 2026 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This was revealed during last September's Sony State of Play as part of a new trailer. The game was initially scheduled to release in 2024. This was then pushed back, with a trailer at The Game Awards 2024 seemingly confirming a late-2025 release. Of course, we now know that the game was further delayed, so here's hoping that 19th March is the definitive release date. Can I pre-order Crimson Desert? You can pre-order digital versions of the game directly from their respective storefronts: Steam PlayStation Xbox If you're after a physical version, then you can pre-order Crimson Desert from select retailers: UK Amazon – £49.99 Smyths – £49.99 US Amazon – $69.99 Best Buy – $69.99 GameStop – $69.99 Walmart – $69.99 Target – $69.99 Which consoles and platforms can play Crimson Desert? Crimson Desert is releasing on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It was originally meant to release on PS4 and Xbox One, but following a couple of delays, it's moved onto current gen consoles only. We also don't know if a Switch 2 version is on the books, but if it sells well enough, who knows? Crimson Desert gameplay and story details Much like its spiritual predecessor, Crimson Desert is an open-world fantasy RPG. You can explore it on foot or horseback, and you'll have the option to complete quests, fish, chop trees and – we're del…

Under Salt Marsh's Jonathan Pryce explains why thriller is "much deeper" than your average murder mystery

description: "It's weird, I didn't feel like I was reading a murder mystery..."
encoded: When the body of a nine-year-old boy is found in a drainage ditch in the remote Welsh town of Morfa Halen, the community is rocked by the harrowing possibility that there's more to Cefin's death than a horrible accident – and that one of their own is probably responsible. And it's a feeling they know all too well following the disappearance of another child, Nessa, who went missing three years ago, the details of which remain unknown. Yet, while Sky Atlantic's Under Salt Marsh is a murder mystery, Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes, The Crown) who plays Cefin's grandfather Solomon, the patriarch of a local farming family, believes it goes beyond what we anticipate from crime thrillers on the whole. "It's weird, I didn't feel like I was reading a murder mystery. I felt I was reading about a community that was under threat from the environment," he told RadioTimes.com, referencing the once-in-a-generation-storm that's rapidly heading towards the town, putting the investigation, headed up by Detective Eric Bull (Trying's Rafe Spall), at serious risk. "But also, [there's] this ongoing unrest within the community because some of the murders are historical, and the community is already split, and then rent asunder again," added Pryce. "So it's a much deeper story than an obvious murder mystery." Another feather in its cap, according to Pryce, is "the reveal of the murderer... is not straightforward". "I think that's a very good, strong feature of the script. There are no obvious culprits for a long time, and I found that interesting." Starring alongside Pryce and Spall is Yellowstone's Kelly Reilly, who plays detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis, who finds Cefin's body, and is also Nessa's aunt – a case which ultimately cost her her job and her friendship with Bull. "These two characters have so much history, they've gone through something deeply traumatic together," Reilly said of that central dynamic."And I think Jackie, quite honestly, would love to never see him again bec…

encoded: Since its debut in 2022, The Traitors has produced a handful of deserving winners, from Faithfuls who managed to sniff out the Traitors at the very last point to Traitors who pulled the wool over the eyes of their fellow players. And this year was no different. After weeks of brutal banishments and shocking murders, Stephen Libby and Rachel Duffy were crowned the winners and took home £47,875 each. As a result, Stephen has been the talk of the nation, whether it be about his striking outfit choices or his decision to remain faithful to his fellow Traitor. Such has got many people thinking, 'what will he do next?'. Speaking exclusively at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026, Stephen revealed he has left his role as a cyber security consultant and is keen to dive "into something that I'm more passionate about". View Green Video on the source website "It's been very good to me over the years, which is great, but I'm taking a break from work at the moment, just going to put my feet up see what happens," he said. Stephen added: "And then if, in the future, an opportunity presents itself to me that's more exciting than cyber security, I'll grab it with both hands." Fans can only hope that Stephen will move into the fashion world after his iconic outfits kept the nation talking during each and every episode. But, this certainly wasn't something that he had expected while filming the series. "The reaction has been overwhelming, because this is like my day-to-day wardrobe, and so I didn't curate a wardrobe specifically for The Traitors," he told RadioTimes.com. "But I'm just so happy that the response has been positive and the memes have been hilarious. I mean, people are quick with their memes as well, like an episode would finish, and it'd be hundreds of new memes about my jumpsuit or a pink jumper, a green jumper. "And I think what it's shown me is that the bar for men's fashion is quite low because, to me, that's just like my normal clothing. So I'm just really happy that …

Faraaz was a fan favourite on this year's series, often for his quiet and sometimes incorrect contributions to the roundtable. He made it to the final episode but was ultimately banished by Traitors Stephen and Rachel. Ahead of the final, Faraaz said if he were to win the prize he would "love to be able to spend it on me and my family to make a religious pilgrimage". "To go to Umrah, to go to Hajj, would be really nice. For me to do that for my family would be great. If there's a bit of left over, I wouldn't mind putting a bit away for a new car but treating my family is my main goal." Following the whirlwind of The Traitors, Umar Kamani, the CEO of PrettyLittleThing, shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), that he "would love to send Faraaz from Traitors and his family to Hajj".

"I came back and I was talking to my mum and I was like, I just can't... to Umar, I'm so grateful, Alhamdulillah, I was literally crying my eyes out honestly. I couldn't believe it." View Green Video on the source website While details on whether Faraaz and Umar are in touch are not known, the breakout Traitors star is keen to still make the pilgrimage. He told BBC News: "The love and support I've been getting is unbelievable... Inshallah, one day I'll be able to hopefully take them to Hajj or even complete Umrah. I'm looking forward to that."

encoded: We're still more than four years away from The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinema Experience being released, but already excitement is at fever pitch for the star-studded movies. Now, for the first time, we've been given a glimpse of what the central four actors - Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan - will look like as the Fab Four. The first look comes via the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), which was given exclusive postcards promoting the new films and has hidden them around their campus. They have also posted pictures of them on Instagram. The postcards each feature a picture of one of the stars in character, revealing who they are playing. For instance, Mescal's reads "Paul Mescal is Paul McCartney". You can check them out on Lipa's Instagram page right here. The films, all four of which are being directed by Sam Mendes, will come from the perspective of a different Beatle, and are set to be released on the same day - 7th April 2028. Dickinson will be playing John Lennon, Quinn will be playing George Harrison and Keoghan will be playing Ringo Starr. Other actors set to star across them include Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, James Norton as Brian Epstein, Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Starkey, Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono, Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, Harry Lloyd as George Martin and David Morrissey as Jim McCartney. Meanwhile, Leanne Best will play Mimi Smith, Bobby Schofield will play Neil Aspinall, Daniel Hoffmann-Gill will play Mal Evans, Arthur Darvill will play Derek Taylor and Adam Pally will play Allen Klein. With every cast member doing their homework on the history of The Beatles before the release of the new films, star McKenna-Bruce recently admitted that, before filming began, she didn't know any of the quartet. "On [Agatha Christie's] Seven Dials, Martin [Freeman] was asking me to name all the Beatles – I didn't know," she explained.

description: Prepare for battle – and an emotional farewell.
encoded: Fans of Outlander have slowly been trying to prepare for the end of the beloved historical drama for some time now, but the dawn of the final season is almost upon us – and now, we have an emotional trailer that only notches up the excitement for what's to come. With the release date of March having been previously confirmed last year, this trailer gives us a proper look at what's to come and boy, does it look like it's set to break our hearts. While season 7 saw the dawn of the American Revolution and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) having to make some drastic decisions, things left on quite the dramatic cliffhanger as they were left questioning whether their first child Faith had actually lived after hearing Fanny sing the same song (from a different time period) that Claire used to. As well as picking up on that major storyline, the trailer transports us back to what makes the series such a fan-favourite and that's by plummeting us once more into the centre of Claire and Jamie's love story. "I have everything I never knew I wanted," Claire tells Jamie in bed, "I hope you've had everything you've had everything you wanted." View oEmbed on the source website We then see them sitting down in a forest with Fanny, holding a locket with Faith's name on it, and all seems right in the world. Continuing on in the same positive vein, we see Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin) enjoying some time together, after the tumultuous events of the past season. Brianna's bringing back of the book The Soul of a Rebel by Frank Randall also has repercussions for Jamie, who picks it up and reads it, only to find out that details from the war that are set to unfold. But in another twist, Jamie tells Claire that in the book, it says that he dies. The war is coming and Jamie feels compelled to get involved once again, but Claire urges him not to. Will it be his undoing? You can watch the trailer for yourself below. View oEmbed on the source website It's saf…

encoded: Former Great British Bake Off judge Dame Mary Berry has shared her verdict on Nigella Lawson joining the cast of the Channel 4 show. Berry served as a judge on the beloved baking competition, alongside baker Paul Hollywood, from the show's inception on the BBC in 2010 until 2016. When it made the switch to Channel 4 in 2017, Berry announced her departure alongside the show's presenters, comedy duo Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins. Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig were then brought in as new co-hosts, while South African-British restaurateur Dame Prue Leith stepped up as the second judge to fill Berry's position. Toksvig later departed and was replaced by Matt Lucas, who Alison Hammond subsequently replaced. Now it has been announced that iconic TV chef Nigella Lawson will be taking over from Leith as she departs the show after nearly a decade. Speaking at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026, Berry shared her verdict on Lawson becoming a judge on the cosy cooking show, declaring that she was "delighted" by the news. "I’ve also recently heard Nigella Lawson is the new Bake Off judge, and I’m absolutely delighted," she said. "It will give Bake Off a wonderful new flavour, and Paul and her will get on like a house on fire." When asked what a great Bake Off judge needs, Berry answered: "The skill to be the judge and to be fair, be kind and encourage everyone to enjoy baking."

description: The Bridgerton star spoke to Pass the Mic about the show's diversity on and off the screen.
encoded: Since its initial release, Bridgerton has been celebrated for rethinking what many think of as it relates to period dramas. A genre of TV that was often concerned with primarily white leading casts, Bridgerton's arrival on our screens has not only breathed new life into the medium, but has also proven that diversity can be done seamlessly and effectively for any major series. Yerin Ha marks a first for the series though, with her character Sophie Baek being the show's first East Asian lead and opening the doors on another level of joyous representation. While Bridgerton has continued to be a beacon of light for many in terms of onscreen representation, series star Adjoa Andoh also took the opportunity to highlight the behind-the-scenes diversity of the show also. When asked about her hopes for the future of diversity and representation within TV and film, Andoh told RadioTimes.com for Pass the Mic: “We live in the world, don’t we? And it’s lovely to have the world be able to watch themselves on screen. "We all love that, we love to see it – put a baby in front of a mirror and it’s the most fascinating thing ever. I don’t think we ever lose that fascination, whoever you are, from whatever background you are. "To have the range and the multiplicities of the stories, you will have stories that may focus on one demographic more and then another demographic but to have all the stories at a variety of times, it’s great." She added: "At a deepest level, we’re all human beings – we all love, we all get scared, we all need warmth and friendship, all those things and that’s common to all human beings. So to see all human beings in front of the camera and behind the camera is really wonderful.” Since season 1 premiered all the way back in 2020, the period drama has spawned a loyal legion of fans who are dedicated to the stories, its characters and often female-led storytelling.

Emmerdale's Ruby Miligan left shaken by harrowing discovery in early ITVX release

encoded: Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) got more than she bargained for when she went searching for answers in today's Emmerdale. It comes following concerns for Anya Berisha (Alia Al-Shabibi), who was enslaved and forced to work by Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) and Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) last year. As viewers will recall, Ruby was one of the first village residents to meet Anya, when she was found in the back of a van trying to escape her captors. She was unaware of Anya's predicament, and believed that she had travelled from her home country as a stowaway. Realising she was unwell, Ruby offered to put her up at The Mill, something which enraged husband Caleb (William Ash). In retaliation, Caleb offered the troubled girl £10,000, which she took and then ran off towards Leeds. Unfortunately, Ray soon caught up with her and brought her to his farm. Within weeks she became seriously ill, and died when they refused to take her to hospital. Vile Ray and Celia ordered that Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) bury her in Moira Dingle's (Natalie J Robb) land, and her grave was marked by a red ribbon that belonged to her daughter. Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on Google Keep up to date on what’s worth watching with your favourite entertainment news from Radio Times – see more of our exclusive news and interviews featured prominently in Top Stories when using Google. Earlier this week, Ruby found Bear looking for the ribbon, and began to realise that something terrible might have happened. She reported it to the police, who weren't exactly willing to cooperate with her claims. However, in today's episode, they had no choice to investigate when Ruby and Caleb found the thread tied to a tree, with a mound of disturbed soil beside it. Tents were set up, and Moira was told that they were beginning a search. Despite being questioned about her involvement with Celia, Moira felt she had nothing to hide and continued with her evening. Shortly afterwards, Ruby watched in horror as a body w…

description: Everything you need to know about the main characters in Under Salt Marsh.
encoded: Crime thriller Under Salt Marsh unfolds in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, where residents are bracing for a once-in-a-generation storm when teacher Jackie Ellis (Yellowstone's Kelly Reilly) finds the body of a nine-year-old boy from her school. Was it a horrible accident – or something far more sinister? The discovery may even be linked to the disappearance of Jackie's niece, Nessa, who went missing a few years earlier while Jackie was working as a detective. Detective Eric Bull (Rafe Spall), who once worked alongside Jackie and investigated Nessa's case, returns to the community he previously failed. But if he's to succeed this time, "Jackie and Bull must reconcile and race to uncover long-buried secrets inside Morfa, before the storm breaks and all the evidence is gone for good". "These two characters have so much history, they've gone through something deeply traumatic together," said Reilly of Jackie and Bull. "And I think Jackie, quite honestly, would love to never see him again because it's just too painful. She's not ready to. Bull is probably the worst person she could see in this moment because it just brings back all of the trauma of this case that they didn't solve together. "And so him suddenly showing up at her house after finding this body of this child is like a horror film." Spall went on to say that the "unconventional" relationship between Jackie and Bull was what attracted him to the role. "There isn't that risk of them getting together, but they've got a lot to work out," he added. "They have a lot of love for each other and a lot of anger, and as we know, there's a very fine line between those two emotions. It makes, I think, for a pretty original central duo." Alongside Reilly and Spall, a number of well-known faces crop up, plus some you might not be familiar with. Read on for a rundown of the main players in Under Salt Marsh.

encoded: When the body of a nine-year-old boy is uncovered in a drainage ditch in Under Salt Marsh, local teacher Jackie Ellis believes it may be connected to the disappearance of her niece, who hasn't been seen for three years. Jackie was a detective when Nessa went missing – a case which cost her her career and destroyed her friendship with former partner Detective Eric Bull, who returns to the remote Welsh town after failing to solve what happened. But the pair must put their differences aside if they have any hope of uncovering what's really going on in this tight-knit community – especially with a once-in-a-generation storm en route, threatening to wipe out any evidence they find. "With the onslaught of the weather and the epic storm that comes at the end, in the final episode, those environmental forces become huge in the story," creator, writer and director Claire Oakley told RadioTimes.com. "They're inescapable, and there's a lot of focus of, 'What are we going to do?' And how is this community going to survive and help each other through such an onslaught. "They've got this dual pressure: there's the investigation and the sense that somebody amongst them has killed a child, and then there's this onslaught from the sea and from the weather and these outside forces." The town where Under Salt Marsh is set is called Morfa Halen, which is fictional. But the cast and crew did film on location in Wales, in landscapes where the elements play a powerful role in shaping daily life. So, where was it filmed in reality? Find out below. Where was Under Salt Marsh filmed? The series was largely filmed in Barmouth and Fairbourne, in north-west Wales. The cast and crew also spent time in Anglesey and Cardiff, where the team "built a marsh on a set for the big finale," Oakley explained. "But we did shoot out on a lot of real marshes." Harry Lawtey (Dylan Rees, whose nephew James is best friends with murder victim Cefin), added that while "the town in the show is fictional, it was de…

encoded: Just when Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) thought his week couldn't get any worse in Coronation Street, vile partner Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) has taken total control of his finances. Earlier this week, Todd buried ex-boyfriend and best mate Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank), who was the only person who knew about the domestic abuse he was facing. The funeral solidified to Todd that there was potentially no way for him to escape - and he still has no idea that Theo played a part in Billy's death by leaving him to perish in a burning minibus. To make matters worse, at the ceremony, Theo delivered a eulogy and used the occasion to make Todd feel even more guilt-ridden. Immediately afterwards, the men clashed, and it became clear that there would be repercussions. In today's episode, a final demand letter from a credit card company arrived at their flat. As viewers will recall, last year, Todd missed an important day at work when Theo purposely put all of his clean shirts in the washing machine. Boss George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) was furious and subsequently fired him, leaving him unemployed for several weeks and financially dependant on Theo during that period. It seems that during this time, he took out a loan to keep things ticking over and has struggled to repay it.

An embarrassed Todd promised him that the matter was in hand, but Theo had another idea. Later that night, he suggested that they open a joint back account so that they can both keep tabs on one another's spends, and while they wait for it to be opened, Todd should surrender his bank cards and…

description: Some of the best (and raciest) period dramas to get stuck into after Bridgerton.
encoded: Now that Bridgerton has released a fresh batch of episodes, it'll be no time at all before fans of the Netflix series blitz through watching the first part of season 4. With this recent instalment focusing on the upstairs-downstairs dynamic between Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), as well as clearly being inspired by the fairytale of Cinderella, there are plenty of other similarly themed shows out there for fans to enjoy. We now have a month to wait for the rest of season 4 to land on the streamer and so, in an effort to fill the Bridgerton void, our attention has turned to the raft of other period dramas out there to stream and watch. Especially in light of this recent season, Downton Abbey is a natural comparison to make to Bridgerton season 4. There are plenty of episodes to binge-watch in that ITV series alone but there are also the likes of racier dramas like The Buccaneers or Mary & George, as well as historical shows inspired by real-life figures like Victoria or Dickinson. Keen to get a similar Bridgerton fix whilst we wait for more episodes? Read on to find out what series you should be tuning into. The Buccaneers Where to watch: Apple TV At the core of this (not entirely historically accurate) series is the importance of female friendship, making The Buccaneers an equally heartwarming watch as much as it is deliciously dramatic. If you're a fan of Bridgerton, you'll definitely enjoy the essence of this Apple TV series which focuses on a group of American women who head to London in order to find esteemed men to marry. A tale of cultural differences, love and yearning, it plummets us straight into English high society – with impressive outfits, settings and a pop-filled soundtrack to match. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Where to watch: Netflix Sure, this series may technically be a part of the Bridgerton universe, but this spin-off deserves its own shoutout in this roundup. While it does focus on the character of Queen C…

We've reached TV and movie over-saturation and decision paralysis is rife – but we've got your back. The team of telly experts and film obsessives at Radio Times are the people to turn to if you want to know how to watch better this year, enjoying more and saving yourself countless hours in the process. So we've put together an easy-to-follow guide: 8 rules for doing TV properly in 2026, helping you stop browsing incessantly and start actually watching something great, all while cutting costs at a time when money is as tight as time. Rule 1: Plan your movie nights without paying a penny Patrick Cremona, Senior Film Writer Years at Radio Times: 6 When looking for a film to watch at home, the sheer number of streamers on offer can make things tricky. From mainstream giants like Netflix and Prime Video to more niche, cinephile-focused options such as Mubi and BFI Player, you can soon find yourself forking out a fortune in subscription fees to cover all the bases. But what if I told you it’s actually possible to program a rich and varied film-watching schedule without paying so much as a penny? Free services like BBC iPlayer, ITVX and Channel 4 all have a wealth of great film options, including both permanent collections and a rolling selection of gems that have recently been broadcast on linear TV. If it’s iconic older pictures or recent British gems you’re after, iPlayer is your best bet, while Channel 4’s selection might suit you more if you’re looking for a slice of genre cinema. But in truth, all of these services include interesting combinations of blockbusters, beloved classics from yesteryear, under-seen indies and a fair share of foreign-language titles. What’s not to love! What's worth watching in 2026: iPlayer has recently added some iconic trilogies – including both The Godfather and Back t…

Apple TV's Shrinking might be the last sadcom – here's why TV comedy is going through major changes

description: For years, the so-called 'sadcom' was taking up all the energy in the realm of TV comedy. Now, something's changed.
encoded: A day before Apple TV's Shrinking returned to screens for its third season this week, a fourth run of the comedy-drama was announced – a real show of the faith the streamer has in the series. While co-creator Bill Lawrence had long stated that the series was pitched with a three-season arc, it's perhaps unsurprising that it's now going beyond this. Not only has Lawrence already proven his willingness to do so with Ted Lasso's upcoming continuation, but the series has been a monumental success. It's a show that's both remarkably funny and knows how to tug at the heartstrings. It also surely has escaped the notice of few that it's one of two comedies to have been released in recent years specifically centred around the grief of a protagonist following the death of his wife. The first of these was After Life, Ricky Gervais's Netflix hit. In another era, viewers might have balked at the idea that laughs could be found in such a tragic set-up - but not in the era of the 'sadcom'. A sub-genre seemingly birthed in the late 2000s and which dominated the 2010s, the sadcom takes the idea of comedy-drama to extremes. Rather than simply combining moments of pathos and drama with a healthy dose of humour, it specifically centres a story that deals with difficult subject matter, heartache and trauma, and punctuates it with jokes. It's notable that Jason Segel should front a show which as much an example of the form as Shrinking. I would argue that the show which shot him into the fame stratosphere, How I Met Your Mother, was dabbling around in the sadcom waters early. It was never a full-blown sadcom per-se, but with episodes such as Last Words, Symphony of Illumination and The Time Travellers tackling grief, infertility and loneliness, it certainly leaned into the emotion more than most sitcoms that preceded it, and knew how to bring out the waterworks among viewers. And who can forget that divisive final episode, in which the mother the entire series had nominally been about ha…

encoded: Following on from Mudtown, The One That Got Away and Keeping Faith, Under Salt Marsh is the latest Welsh crime drama to take its cues from the woolly jumpers and windswept landscapes of Scandi noir. And it might well be the most noirish of the lot. The original miniseries certainly isn’t the kind of escapist Harlan Coben-esque potboiler you watch to banish the winter blues, that’s for sure. From its 'every parents' worst nightmare' mystery to its flood-drenched, eternally grey aesthetics, this is a whodunit which revels in the bleak. Had its fictional town of Morfa Halen (the Welsh for ‘salt marsh’) been real, then its tourist board would undoubtedly have had cause for complaint. Having made her name with 2019’s Make Up, a blend of kitchen sink realism and psychological horror set entirely within an out-of-season Cornish caravan park, creator Claire Oakley is no stranger to such darkness. But here, she proves she can maintain a palpable sense of unease across six hour-long episodes of TV. Although very much a slow burner, Under Salt Marsh doesn’t waste any time establishing its ominous tone. In fact, distraught primary school teacher Jackie Ellis (Kelly Reilly with a steeliness similar to her display in Yellowstone) discovers the lifeless body of eight-year-old pupil Cefin (Jack Thomas-Humphreys) amid pitch-black marshlands in the opening shot. Is this simply a tragic accident? Or, as one would suspect, is there something more nefarious at play? And why, as revealed in a chilling flashback to earlier that same day, did the young victim continually dream of being chased into water and drowning? As a former detective, Jackie takes it upon herself to find the answers, immediately ingratiating herself further into the case by breaking the news to Cefin’s parents Shell (Kimberley Nixon) and Danny (Mark Stanley) before the police get the chance: it’s one of several harrowing scenes – see the family’s uncontrollable wails while visiting Cefin’s final resting place or Danny…

description: "It feels savage!"
encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for The Apprentice season 20** The Apprentice returned for a landmark 20th season on BBC One tonight and Lord Alan Sugar certainly didn't hold back. From introducing 20 candidates to sending them to Hong Kong for their very first buying challenge, the business hopefuls were thrown into the deep down – and only 18 remained in the running to become his next business partner. After returning from their first task, like always Lord Sugar asked the project manager and sub team project manager to bring back two people from their team they believed were at fault, before revealing that two people were going to be fired from the process. Unfortunately for Nikki Jetha and Georgina Newton, their time in the process came to a fast end, and over on BBC Two, audiences will be able to hear all about their journey on the show and their thoughts about their firings, as they speak to Angela Scanlon, the host of The Apprentice: Unfinished Business. Ahead of the new companion series launch, RadioTimes.com caught up with Scanlon who admitted that the double firing felt "savage". "They're all flown out to Hong Kong, it's like this big, amazing start to the series, they haven't even gotten to the house and unpacked their bags," Scanlon said. "So I think it's a tough one and I don't think anyone saw it coming. "When Nikki got the got the boot and then he turned his eyes on Georgina! The politest woman in the history of the show, she's singing, she's the ultimate hype girl and so, I was gutted, really." Scanlon explained that Nikki has small children and was really determined to "make her mark early doors" and felt that due to her background as a mortgage broker she'd be "really good at negotiations". "[But] the challenge of finding all of these items in a very foreign city meant that they didn't really get down to negotiation very much, because they were flapping looking for nine items," she continued. "So it felt like she had the skills, she just didn't really…

description: Time was up for two candidates.
encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for The Apprentice season 20** The Apprentice returned in style tonight as viewers were introduced to a new cohort of candidates, 20 of whom are hoping to become Lord Alan Sugar's next business partner. Tonight's episode transported viewers to Hong Kong as the business hopefuls were sent on a mission to secure nine items at knock-down prices, all under the watchful eye of aides Karren Brady and Tim Campbell. But 20 soon became 18 as Lord Sugar fired two candidates who weren't on their A-game in tonight's challenge. So, who was fired from The Apprentice 2026? Read on to find out more. Who left The Apprentice 2026 this week? Georgina Newton - Week 1 It was a double firing no one was expecting as Lord Sugar told project manager Georgina she was fired. He said: "Georgina, I think you're your own worst enemy. You come in here, you bring two people in and you say they shouldn't be here. And so you leave me with nowhere to go, so Georgina, regretfully you're fired."` Nikki Jetha - Week 1 After plenty of back and forth in the boardroom between the project managers and those who were brought back to the boardroom, it was all down to Lord Sugar's decision. Addressing Nikki, Lord Sugar said: "Yes you put yourself forward as the project manager, very brave, but you were two hours late and you only got one item, and you were the overall project manager... And so it is with regret that you're fired." The Apprentice continues on Thursday 5th February at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

description: The broadcaster plans on getting "the real gossip" from the candidates.
encoded: The Apprentice is certainly shaking things up for its 20th season – not only are 20 candidates entering the process to celebrate the anniversary, but it will also be paired with a brand-new companion series, Unfinished Business. Earlier this year it was confirmed that Unfinished Business would air in place of You're Fired, with Tom Allen also announcing he was stepping down from hosting duties. The new spin-off show is hosted by broadcaster, podcaster and author Angela Scanlon who will be providing viewers with their fix of the latest boardroom drama, joining the host alongside an array of industry experts and celebrity fans. The series will also feature the first interviews with fired candidates each week. Together with the fired candidate, Scanlon and her panel will dissect all the drama from that week's task, providing fans with in-depth analysis and behind-the-scenes intel. "There's an informality to it that I really love," Scanlon told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive chat. "People are so interested in what goes on behind the scenes [and it's] kind of loosely referencing [The Traitors] Uncloaked as a kind of model, but I love the opportunity to sit down with super fans and with business experts and with the candidates who have just been fired, and actually get the real gossip." Promising proper gossip, Scanlon added that she'll "shake down the fired candidate for the real story". She continued: "I have hosted a chat show before [Angela Scanlon's Ask Me Anything] and unfortunately, I'm quite unfiltered, and so I will ask the question that you want to ask at home and that you maybe think you shouldn't ask." Aside from the obvious changes to the You're Fired format, Scanlon adds that the companion series' "informality" is what sets it apart, telling RadioTimes.com: "It's almost like you've pulled away the fired candidates and [it's] as if we've just watched the show in the living room and then we've nipped out for a cup of tea to dissect it. So I think it's very fre…

description: Everything we know so far.
encoded: Death in Paradise returns to the BBC for season 15 — and Selwyn Patterson has officially resumed his role as commissioner. And breathe... "Apparently there has been an outcry," Don Warrington previously said of the reaction to the teasing of a potential exit for his character. "It's flattering, and I would be dishonest if I said it wasn't. But it came as a surprise to realise how deeply the characters had got into the consciousness of the public." Fear turned to joy when it was confirmed in the Christmas special that Selwyn would be back doing what he does best: "Gliding around being charming and sort of slightly obtuse," as Kris Marshall previously told RadioTimes.com. However, he's shocked to learn that things haven't stood still while he's been away. Find out what's been happening, plus who'll be joining him and when you can watch season 15 below. Death in Paradise season 15 release date: When will it air? The 15th season of the murder mystery will premiere on Friday 30th January at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Death in Paradise season 15 cast: Who's returning? Don Warrington returns as Selwyn Patterson after deciding to take his job back in last year's Christmas special. He will be joined by Don Gilet's Mervin Wilson, who was all set to head back to London, but is now staying put following a major revelation (more on that in a bit). We'd also expect to see the following faces: Shantol Jackson as Naomi Thomas Shaquille Ali-Yebuah as Sebastian Rose Élizabeth Bourgine as Catherine Bordey Plus, Catherine Garton has joined the cast as new sergeant Mattie Fletcher. She has replaced Ginny Holder, who will not be returning as Darlene Curtis. And Mervin's half-brother Solomon is played by Daniel Ward (Everything Now). There are also several new guest stars, who are guaranteed to shake up proceedings. Familiar faces include Happy Valley favourite Siobhan Finneran and EastEnders' original Vicki Fowler star Scarlett Alice Johnson, who join an impressive line-up that also…
