Harry Potter and The Crown legends star in first look at "extraordinary" drama about real-life British water companies' sewage scandal
Dirty Business stars David Thewlis, Jason Watkins and Asim Chaudhry.
Channel 4 has announced a brand-new factual drama, Dirty Business, which comes from the team behind the channel's 2023 hit Partygate. The new three-part series is based on a decade-long investigation into England’s water companies, telling the real stories of whistleblowers and victims who believe their lives have been destroyed after encountering sewage-polluted water. Alongside the announcement, a set of two first-look images have been unveiled, showing cast members David Thewlis (Harry Potter), Jason Watkins (The Crown) and Asim Chaudhry (Tinsel Town). The synopsis for the series reads: "Dirty Business follows the story of two unlikely detectives, who notice that the fish in the river running through their idyllic Oxfordshire hamlet are dying. They contact their water company to find out why, and the company’s strange and evasive reply sparks an investigation that remains ongoing to this day." Thewlis will be playing Ash, a concerned citizen, and former police detective in a small town in Oxfordshire, who notices that his local river is becoming increasingly polluted. Meanwhile, Watkins will play his neighbour Peter, a Professor of Computational Biology who uses his scientific rigour and investigative skills to establish that their local sewage works is not treating water correctly, frequently dumping raw, untreated sewage into local waterways. Chaudhry will play whistleblowing sewage plant worker Mickey, who partners with Ash and Peter to supply information on critical failures from the inside. The synopsis for the series continues: "Dirty Business also follows the true story of the Preen family, wracked by grief when their 8-year-old daughter Heather dies after contracting e-coli 0157. "Heather had been playing on a beach where days earlier a nearby storm pipe had discharged into the sea. The Preens believe Heather’s death was the result of her coming into contact with the raw sewage. "It also follows the story of young surfer Reuben who believes his chronic illness, Meniere’s disease, is as a result of surfing in polluted water, changing his life forever." Other cast members set to feature in the series include Posy Sterling, who is nominated for this year's EE Rising Star Award at the BAFTAs, as well as Tom McKay, Jon Culshaw, Vicki Pepperdine, Craig Parkinson, Charlotte Ritchie, Chanel Cresswell, Lucia Keskin and Alex Jennings. David Thewlis said of starring in the series: "What shocked me about this story was just how much has been allowed to go unchecked - two ordinary men uncovering negligence, illegal pollution, and corporate indifference that should never have been tolerated. "Being a part of this series has been a chance to channel the anger and frustration so many feel about what’s been done to our rivers and communities, and to show the courage it takes to stand up and demand accountability." Watkins added: "I wanted to be part of this series because of how human and grounded the story is - it’s told through ordinary people who refuse to look away when something isn’t right. "Dirty Business captures the quiet determination it takes to stand up to a system far bigger than the individual, and shining a light on the real human cost of environmental damage and corporate neglect felt both urgent and important to be part of.” Meanwhile, Chaudhry explained: "What drew me to this role was the courage it takes to speak out when a system is failing. There’s anger, frustration, and a deep sense of responsibility in the character, and I wanted to bring to life the human side of standing up for what’s right, even if there’s a risk it might come at a personal cost." Dirty Business will air on Channel 4. Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2026 line-up – Meet the season 8 contestants
The current outing of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has been brutal to say the least. The latest episode (12th January) saw the remaining recruits race up 27 flights to the top of a dam, after which they had to rappel 45 metres back down before free-falling into turbulent water. But this is Celebrity SAS, so that wasn't the end. The recruits then had to swim 40 metres to safety in under three minutes! This series is slightly different than some viewers may be used to, with the line-up being split into Team UK and Team Australia, with seven famous faces from each nation going head-to-head. Only four episodes in and five celebrities have already left the competition. The first to go was MAF's star Jessika Power from the Australian team followed by fellow Aussie Natalie Bassingthwaighte. They were shortly joined by Brits Jack Joseph and Cole Anderson-James whilst Home and Away star Axle Whitehead was forced to withdraw on medical grounds. Ahead of the next episode, who are these fateful celebs who have been drafted in? Read on for the full Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Win 2026 line-up.

On why she is taking part in the show, Dani said: "I’ve always been a massive fan of the show and I remember watching a series that Georgia Harrison had done thinking that I really feel like I want to do it. "And so when the opportunity came around, I just couldn’t say no. These sorts of opportunities don’t really come around often so I just thought, let’s have a go, let’s see if I can actually do it." A self professed adrenaline junkie, Dani has previously climbed Kilimanjaro to raise money for Comic Relief. She added: "I just wanted to see if I had some balls. "I just felt like I just wanted to see if I can do it, if I’ve got some strength, because I’m not going to lie, I am a little bit of a scaredy cat." Gabby Allen Age: 33 Job: TV personality Instagram: @gabbydawnallen Gabby Allen is a British reality TV star and fitness entrepreneur who is best known for appearing on series 3 of Love Island and winning the second season of Love Island: All Stars. She has taken part in Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Ghost Hunt. Gabby couldn't believe the transformation she had on the show, saying: "The difference between me before and after was wild. Going in with all my hair done and my lipstick on, and then the aftermath – looking in the mirror thinking, well done. Everyone was talking to me like nothing had happened and I was like, guys, this is a visual representation of what’s going on in my head right now. "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity that I've always wanted to do. To be able to challenge myself, to strip myself back and put myself out there, that was a challenge in itself." Ben Cohen MBE Age: 46 Job: Former World Cup rugby player Instagram: @bencohenrugby Ben Cohen is a former England rugby player and 2003 Rugby World Cup winner, celebrated as the second highest try scorer in England’s history who retired after earning 57 caps for England.

Ben has appeared in other TV game shows including Strictly Come Dancing, The Jump, and The Real Full Monty. On why he signed up for Celebrity SAS, he said: "Well, everything was telling me no, don’t do it. It’s hard and let’s be honest, who wants to be shouted at and called every name under the sun? I didn’t know how I would react to that. "But I wanted to do this for personal development and personal growth. It was something that that I knew would test me mentally, help my mental health, and I knew it would be an experience that money can’t buy, that you don’t get to do every day." Toby Olubi Age: 37 Job: Olympian and gladiator Instagram: @tobyolubi Toby Olubi is a former Olympian, having competed in the four-man bobsleigh at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Since January 2024, Toby is Phantom on the BBC show Gladiators, so there's no question about his physical ability in taking part in Celebrity SAS! Toby joined the cast to show more of his true self, something he feels doesn't come across on his other shows: "You can’t hide on this show. You can’t fake it. You can only be your authentic self, and I really relished that." Graeme Swann Age: 46 Job: International cricketer Instagram: @officialgraemeswann A former international cricketer who won the Ashes three times, in 2009, 2010 and 2011, Graeme Swann has always wanted to take part in Celebrity SAS. "I actually told my agent only about two weeks before the offer came in that I wasn’t interested in doing any of those shows, apart from Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins," he said of joining the show. "I told him if they ever asked me to do that, I’d say yes straight away, because I love it and weirdly, a couple of weeks later, they asked me." He retired from cricket in 2013 following an elbow injury and has since gone on to take part in the 2018 season of Strictly Come Dancing, where he came in 10th place. Ryan Moloney Age: 45 Job: Actor Instagram: N/A Ryan Moloney has been on Australian TV screens for over 30 years, playing the beloved Jarrod “Toadie” Rebecchi on the classic show Neighbours, some episodes of which he has also directed. Ryan said yes to Celebrity SAS as he viewed it as unmissable opportunity. "I think probably the toughest part is the keeping up, just getting back up and making sure you keep going. You're so exhausted with nothing left and just have to get up and keep going, just keep going, just keep going. "So that was the hardest part, but also the best lesson to learn," he said of his time on the show. Ryan has appeared on other reality shows, including Celebrity Big Brother UK and The Masked Singer Australia, and has also performed in some UK pantomimes. Brad Hodge Age: 50 Job: International cricketer Instagram: @bradleyhodge302 Former cricketer Brad Hodge signed up for the show after being encouraged by his kids to take part. He said: "I was in really good shape and training, so I felt “red hot” to nail it." In order to prepare for the show, Brad did weighted walks to build up his fitness and stamina but claimed he was more nervous about the psychological challenge the show would present. "I practiced being in confined spaces and water submersion. I had my son lock me in the boot of his car for around ten minutes a couple of times. That was awful. I even used a torch for the second couple of tries. The goal was to get comfortable with being uncomfortable," he revealed. Emily Seebohm Age: 33 Job: Olympic swimmer Instagram: @emcbomb Emily Seebohm is a former backstroke swimmer who has been breaking world records since she was as young as 14. She is a four-time Olympian, winning three Olympic golds along with silver and bronze medals, five World Championship golds, and seven Commonwealth Games golds. She retired last year and since then has taken part in The Challenge Australia and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia, but has always wanted to take part in Celebrity SAS. "I think I always assumed it would come later, but it felt like now was actually such a good time. I have a two-year-old son, I’ve retired from swimming, and I guess I just wanted to show my son that nothing should hold you back. You should be able to do anything you want to do. A lot of it is that mental game," the Olympian said. Mack Horton Age: 29 Job: Olympic swimmer Instagram: @mackhorton Mack Horton is another Olympic swimmer who retired in January 2024. Throughout his sport career where has know as the "Magnificent Mack", he won an Olympic gold in at Rio 2016, while also competing in multiple Olympic relay and distance events, and has earned four Commonwealth Games gold medals. He wanted to take part in Celebrity SAS as he is keen to stay active since retiring from professional sport, saying that despite his sporting he still found taking part in the show a physical challenge. "The physical challenge transports you to the mental challenge. Physically, if you have a sporting background, you know how to rally. But being constantly on edge mentally is very different. They’re very good at slowly wearing you down, and that’s the hardest part," he said. Mack is married to his high school sweetheart and the couple are expecting their first child this month. Former Celebrity SAS 2026 contestants Jessika Power Age: 33 Job: TV personality Instagram: @jessika_power Jessika Power is perhaps the most recognisable person ever from Married at First Sight Australia. She has also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Celebs Go Dating and Celebrity Ex on the Beach. "I’m known as the 'husband-stealing witch,' 'a drama queen', 'a s**t-stirrer,' 'controversial' – all of that. I wanted to show that I’ve grown and matured," Jessika said. "This was a show that was going to push me completely out of my comfort zone – which it absolutely did. I wanted to do this as a challenge for myself, but I also wanted to prove that people can change and grow, and that people on television shouldn’t be viewed with tunnel vision." Natalie Bassingthwaighte Age: 50 Job: Actor Instagram: @natbassingthwaighte Natalie Bassingthwaighte has had an expansive career, first rising to fame as the lead singer of Rogue Traders, whose biggest hits include like Voodoo Child and Watching You, before going in to star in the role of Izzy Hoyland in Neighbours.

Jack's dad is an ex-army REME mechanic father, so he is keen to prove his resilience and live up to high expectations. Asked why he agreed to go on Celebrity SAS, Jack said: "I think the main reason is that, over the past five years, I’ve been living in a lot of comfort. With what I do in this industry, it’s quite an easy and comfortable job. It’s my dream job and I’m incredibly grateful for it, but I felt like I’d been in that comfort zone for too long. "I needed something to push me out of it. I tried a few different things, but when the call came for Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, I knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There’s nothing else where you get pushed to this extreme. It was perfect timing for me." Cole Anderson-James <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/78082S8Ep2Embargoed-2200-Sunday-4th-January-Celebrity-SASx3a-Who-Dares-Wins-S8-Ep2-7-c72aafe.jpg" width="4900" height="3267" alt="Cole Anderson-James in line up in date palm before Tunnel task.

Since then he has started a career in acting, even appearing in Ricky Gervais' After Life. Cole admits to never having seen the show before and signed up with only six hours before he needed to board his flight meaning he had no time to prepare or train but also no time to get nervous. "Every task was so hard. I just literally put my blood, sweat and tears into the tasks. The living situation as well was just a bit harsh and the food… It was just everything. Everything was the hardest part," he admitted. Axle Whitehead Age: 44 Job: Actor and songwriter Instagram: @axlewhitehead Axle Whitehead is an Australian musician, actor, and TV personality best known for playing Liam Murphy on Home and Away. He also previously hosted Video Hits, The World’s Strictest Parents in Australia and the Australian version of The Wall.

"This opportunity came along at a time in my life when I was looking for something to get me back on track. I feel the most relaxed when I'm under extreme pressure. That's when I feel at peace," Axle said. He added: "I also had a massive man crush on Foxy. He's a calm, warm, gentle man, but also a trained killer. And I was curious to find out what the psychological profile of a man like that is and what makes them tick? "How can such a warm, gentle giant also be a trained soldier?"

EastEnders icon confirmed to play daughter of Vera legend Brenda Blethyn in first look at glossy new remake of beloved drama
A shocking betrayal by this key supporting character triggers a bold revenge play by Emma Harte (Brenda Blethyn).
Channel 4's new adaptation of iconic story A Woman of Substance has added another big name to its ensemble in the form of EastEnders alum Jo Joyner. Brenda Blethyn (Vera) stars in the upcoming eight-part series, which is based on Barbara Taylor Bradford's novel of the same name, taking the main role of Emma Harte; a woman who goes on a "rags to riches" journey over an extraordinary life. The role of Emma is shared between Blethyn and Jessica Reynolds (House of Guinness), who plays her at an earlier stage of her life. They fill the shoes of Deborah Kerr and Jenny Seagrove, who co-starred in Channel 4's prior adaptation in 1985. RadioTimes.com can exclusively confirm that Stay Close and Ackley Bridge star Joyner will play Elizabeth Harte Ainsley in the new series; the eventual daughter of Emma, who shockingly deceives her mother in a betrayal of trust. The incident prompts Emma to take revenge on those she considers to be traitors – and suffice it to say, Elizabeth falls firmly into that group. Here's a first look at Joyner in the role, courtesy of Channel 4: <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/JoJoyner-AWomanofSubstance-08968dc.jpg" width="4500" height="3000" alt="Jo Joyner stars in A Woman of Substance; she is seen here in a house, where a party is being thrown. There are balloons behind her and a pink cake on a table in front of her. Despite the surroundings, she looks unhappy and angry at someone" title="Jo_Joyner_-_A_Woman_of_Substance" /> Over the course of the series, we'll see Emma go from an impoverished, ambitious maid in 1911 to the world's richest woman several decades later, having defied expectations and shattered glass ceilings along the way. "Her masterplan: Get to the top. Whatever it takes," teases the synopsis. A Woman of Substance's large cast also includes Emmett J Scanlan (Mobland), Lydia Leonard (Wolf Hall: The Mirror and The Light), Will Mellor (Mr Bates vs the Post Office), Lenny Rush (Am I Being Unreasonable?) and Robert Wilfort (Gavin & Stacey). You can also expect to see Leanne Best (This City Is Ours), Ewan Horrocks (The Last Kingdom), Harry Cadby (In Flight), Toby Regbo (A Discovery of Witches), Hiftu Quasem (The Witcher), Georgina Sadler (Boarders) and Niall Wright (Slow Horses) appear. The project comes from key creatives behind Apple TV's The Buccaneers, including screenwriters Katherine Jakeways and Roanne Bardsley, plus director John Hardwick, who oversaw the first block of filming. Rebecca Holdsworth, commissioning editor at Channel 4, said: "Attracting an ensemble cast of this quality is testament to Katherine and Roanne’s exceptional scripts. We are so excited to be bringing this fresh, sexy and bold adaptation of an iconic book to Channel 4." A Woman of Substance is coming soon to stream and watch on Channel 4.

Lorraine Kelly reveals why you won't see her naked in a sauna for Norwegian Odyssey: "Nobody wanted to see that from me"
The TV star is making the most of what Norway has to offer in her new Channel 4 series.
This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. “There are a lot of similarities with Scotland,” says Lorraine Kelly after visiting Norway for her new travelogue. The Glasgow-born presenter should know thanks to her background, and also because her Norwegian Odyssey for Channel 4 involved multiple trips, in both winter and summer, and her advice is unequivocal: “It’s expensive – I’d say that to anybody who’s thinking of going there – but my goodness me, it’s well worth it.” So what was the highlight of your trip, Lorraine? The Northern Lights were unbelievable. I’ve tried to see them before, in Sweden, Finland and Orkney, and never had any luck. In fact, when I was in Sweden, staying at the Ice Hotel, people were able to see them in Dundee but we saw nothing! So I was desperate to see them in Norway, but we only had a three-day window. Then suddenly we saw this wall of green with a sort of pink tinge. The whole sky was green, with this light going right back over our heads, like a kind of green rainbow. So famous people get a special performance, huh? Well, obviously, of course! But no, we were just incredibly lucky. Even Tom, our “aurora hunter” – that’s his actual job – said, “Wow, this is spectacular!”, so we knew we were seeing something special. Where were you? We were just out beyond Nordkapp, which is a cape at the very top of Norway. And we were on a Hurtigruten ship – one of those that you can cruise on for a holiday, but they’re also working vessels, which connect all the little towns along the fjords. They’re the best way to get around, because the coastline is so rugged and looks like animals have chewed bits off the edges. You’re right in the middle of things, too, and you see so much: we saw orcas, sea eagles, everything. You sailed into Hjørundfjord, too – which locals say is the most beautiful fjord in the world. Are they right? Oh, that was really something. The ship goes right in up this narrow fjord, and the captain then has to turn it around very skillfully because there’s not much room. You get so very close to the cliffs that you feel you could stretch your hand out and touch them. There’s something about the landscape there that makes you feel very small – which is no bad thing, actually, because it helps you really appreciate the glory of the planet. That blue sea, the white snow, and the crags – oh, it’s glorious! That area, the Sunnmøre Alps, is famous for mountain hiking. Did you strap your boots on, or get a body double for the cliff-edge bits? No, it’s not dangerous at all. The trails are pretty easy, and they’ve got lots of these lovely little huts along the way so if the weather gets really bad, there’s somewhere to shelter. But it’s the smell that I remember: that lovely, fresh, sharp pine scent. It really reminded me of when I used to go hiking in the hills of Perthshire. We see you foraging on the shores of the Lofoten Islands. You wouldn’t try that in Britain, though, right? But it’s so clear and clean up there. So yes, I went out with these wonderful girls – they’re like mermaids – harvesting seaweed off the beach. They make food and skincare products out of it. Did you put it on your face or in your mouth? Both! There are specific types of seaweed they make into seasonings, and others for beauty products. It felt very soothing and healing. But almost everything in Norway feels pure and wholesome. I did a cold water plunge, and you feel so glowing afterwards: energised, enthusiastic, like you can do anything because your brain’s fizzing and your body’s tingling. You start off in the sauna, where all the Norwegians are sitting around having a laugh and a singsong and a few wee drams, then you come out and jump in. But isn’t the traditional sauna culture in Norway… naked? There was no nakedness involved; nobody wanted to see that from me! I think me in a swimming costume is enough for everyone – we wouldn’t want to inflict any more than that on the world. Is there anything there for those of us who are less rugged than you? I was really surprised by the cities. Tromsø is so far north, but it was a real eye-opener to see how gorgeous and sophisticated it is, and I loved its Polar Museum because I’m a real geek about those heroic explorers – Sir Ernest Shackleton is my big hero. Then in Trondheim I went kayaking on the river Nid, which was a brilliant way to see the town because historically the river is the heart of any city, and you get such a different view. You see so much more than if you were just driving around. The water was pristine too, so if you did fall in, it wouldn’t be disgusting like the Thames – just a bit… chilly!

Hollyoaks icon to exit soap in "explosive scenes" after star films final scenes 20 years after debut
The character is a member of the soap's most iconic family.
A major soap exit is on the way – as Hollyoaks' John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) has reportedly filmed his final scenes after two decades in the role. The character first arrived in September 2006, and has been at the centre of several huge storylines during that time – from his highly-acclaimed relationship with Craig Dean (Guy Burnet) to his addiction battle and discovering that trans headteacher Sally St Claire (Annie Wallace) was his estranged parent. Upcoming scenes will see him struggle at work when wayward Ant Hutchinson (Brook Debio) causes yet another incident, and he's forced to call in the police. This leads to him to attend an addiction support group, where he opens up about his past domestic abuse at the hands of PC George Kiss (Callum Kerr). A source has told The Sun that Sutton's exit will be "explosive", in true Hollyoaks fashion. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/12/6660-CHRISTMAS-AT-THE-MCQUEENS-Theresa-Warren-Mercedes-Prince-John-Paul-Dodger-EMBARGOED-UNTIL-9TH-DECEMBER-LimePictures-27-af8e68a.jpg" width="4880" height="3253" alt="John Paul, Theresa, Mercedes and Price pose on the McQueen sofa wearing onesies on Christmas Day in a shot from Hollyoaks" title="6660 CHRISTMAS AT THE MCQUEENS - Theresa, Warren, Mercedes, Prince, John Paul, Dodger, - EMBARGOED UNTIL 9TH DECEMBER @LimePictures (27)" /> “[Sutton has] been a huge part of the show for the last 20 years and everyone is sad to see him go. But these things happen and it’s going to be an explosive exit," they explained. RadioTimes.com has contacted a Hollyoaks spokesperson for comment. This isn't the first time that Sutton has exited the Channel 4 soap. He initially departed in 2008, taking a four year break in which he portrayed Ryan Lamb in Emmerdale. After a five year stint, he took another two year break before returning for guest appearances in 2019 and a full time return the following year. The actor is set to continue with his podcast, Male Mind Matters, and focus on his self-improvement guru business.

5 Hollyoaks spoilers next week: Brookside reunion for troubled Donny Clark as Lucas Hay spirals
John Paul has a bad day at work, Sienna is suspicious of Tinhead and Cleo is struggling.
With nowhere else to turn, Gemma Johnson (Tisha Merry) hopes that a trip down memory lane will be just the ticket for her troubled father Donny Clark (Louis Emerick) in Hollyoaks next week. Partner Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi) is struggling to find a way to move forward following his destructive behaviour at Christmas, but is pleased to see him with a smile on his face after making a Mick Johnson special pizza for old Brookside mates Tinhead (Philip Olivier) and Sinbad (Michael Starke) next week. Meanwhile, Tinhead is ruffling feathers for Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) - who is convinced that he's stalking her family - and there's worrying times ahead for Cleo (Nadine Mulkerrin) and John Paul McQueen (James Sutton). Elsewhere, Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) comes face-to-face with son Lucas (Oscar Curtis), who demands to know more about his affair with Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass). Here's a look at everything happening in Hollyoaks between Monday 19th and Wednesday 21st January 2026. 5 Hollyoaks spoilers for next week 1. Sienna Blake is suspicious of Tinhead <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/HO-EP-6668-SIENNA-TINHEAD-LIBERTY-STRICTLY-EMBARGOED-UNTIL-TUESDAY-6TH-JAN--LIME-PICTURES-2f2e32d.jpg" width="5765" height="3843" alt="Tinhead, in a burgundy jumper and black jacket, stands in the centre of Liberty Savage, in a green jacket, blue dress and green beret and Sienna Blake, who is wearing a long yellow raincoat in Hollyoaks." title="HO EP 6668 SIENNA, TINHEAD, LIBERTY - STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL TUESDAY 6TH JAN @ LIME PICTURES" /> Having heard someone lurking around Jez's allotment, Sienna is adamant that they're out to get her family and rushes home to warn them. Liberty isn't interested, and instead tells her to confide in Cleo about her recent struggles instead. As she heads out, she spots Tinhead's van as the same one that was spotted darting away from the shed the previous night. Is he responsible? <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/HO-EP-6668-LIBERTY-TINHEAD-STRICTLY-EMBARGOED-UNTIL-Tuesday-13th-January--LIME-PICTURES-2-ad27179.jpg" width="6000" height="4000" alt="Liberty, in a green and blue coat and green beret, smiles into Tinhead's eyes in the Dog carpark in Hollyoaks" title="HO EP 6668 LIBERTY, TINHEAD - STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL Tuesday 13th January @ LIME PICTURES (2)" /> Whatever the situation, he seems to be getting his feet firmly under the Blakes' table, as later in the week, he enjoys a double date with Liberty, Dodger and Theresa. 2. Cleo McQueen is struggling with baby Joseph When Sienna reaches out, Cleo tells her that although she still loves her, she needs space. Leela clocks Cleo's struggles and asks her to accompany her and baby Clara to a baby group, hoping that seeing other mothers in a similar situation might give her peace of mind. However, when Joseph won't stop crying, she becomes overwhelmed. 3. Ant Hutchinson's behaviour is a cause for concern for John Paul <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/HO-EP-6668-JOHN-PAUL-SMITHY-ANT-STRICTLY-EMBARGOED-UNTIL-Tuesday-13th-January--LIME-PICTURES-2-3ff1e6f.jpg" width="6000" height="4000" alt="Ant Hutchinson looks worried in the direction of John Paul McQueen, as Officer Smithy and another policeman look towards him in Hollyoaks High" title="HO EP 6668 JOHN PAUL, SMITHY, ANT - STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL Tuesday 13th January @ LIME PICTURES (2)" /> Ant's behaviour begins to spiral at school and John Paul is forced to call in the police. The teenager is distraught when the officer, Smithy, considers taking him to the station. JP is triggered by the day's events and decides to attend an addiction support group, opening up to the attendees about his past abusive abusive relationship with a policeman. 4. Ste Hay is left alone with Lucas after Rex Gallagher's intervention Rex extends an olive branch to Lucas when he announces his intentions to leave Chester for London. In order to delay him, and in the hope he'll make amends with his family, he sets up a bed in the garage for the youngster and allows the rest of the village to believe that he's missing after being released on bail. Despite Rex's efforts, Ste isn't ready to meet with his son and asks him to keep him hidden so he can face the full consequences of his actions at trial. However, later in the week, Rex realises that Ste's in danger – having come face-to-face with Lucas. Ste tries to stay calm and distract him, but he's adamant to get answers about his dad's affair with Dillon. Leela is made privy to the disturbing contents of Lucas's notepad, and alongside Rex and Dillon, they begin a search. 5. Gemma Johnson hopes that a Brookside reunion is just the ticket for Donny Clark <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/HO-EP-6670-SINBAD-TINHEAD-DONNY-GEMMA-MISBAH-VICKY-STRICTLY-EMBARGOED-UNTIL-Tuesday-13th-January--LIME-PICTURES-706a069.jpg" width="5612" height="3741" alt="Vicky, Gemma, Misbah, Sinbad and Tinhead gaze towards Donny, who is wearing an apron and a hat, in Casa McQueen in Hollyoaks" title="HO EP 6670 SINBAD, TINHEAD, DONNY, GEMMA, MISBAH, VICKY - STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL Tuesday 13th January @ LIME PICTURES" /> Misbah and Donny continue to lead separate lives, torn apart by his secret past as Brookside's Mick Johnson. She admits that she only said what she knew would bring him back to the village, while Gemma and Vicky refuse to give up on their dad. They realise that the events of the night in Liverpool are still causing extreme distress and encourage him to face Superintendent Singh, while Dodger also attempts to help when he spots that he's hit the bottle. In turmoil, Donny lashes out, and Dodger reminds him that they have both been through the same thing and he's the only one to truly understand the pain. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/HO-EP-6670-SINBAD-TINHEAD-DONNY-GEMMA-STRICTLY-EMBARGOED-UNTIL-Tuesday-13th-January--LIME-PICTURES-d10206c.jpg" width="5549" height="3700" alt="Donny hands a pizza to Tinhead in Casa McQueen in a scene from Hollyoaks" title="HO EP 6670 SINBAD, TINHEAD, DONNY, GEMMA - STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL Tuesday 13th January @ LIME PICTURES" /> Gemma decides to inject a bit of Brookie flare back into her dad's life and introduces Mibsh and Vicky to Sinbad, and the group come up with a plan to surprise Donny with a surprise meal at Casa McQueen. Donny is warmed by the gesture, and having reunited with Tinhead and Sinbad, recreates one of the famous pizzas he used to dish-up at Pizza Parade. Vicky is impressed by her dad’s culinary efforts.

Check out how to watch Cameroon v Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Africa Cup of Nations 2025 hosts Morocco take on Cameroon in Rabat on Friday – with a spot in the semi-finals on the line. The North African side have been tipped as the favourites to lift the trophy later this month and moved one step closer to a first AFCON title since 1976 by beating Tanzania 1-0 to book their place in the quarter-finals. Cameroon lie in wait for Morocco in what promises to be a blockbuster knockout tie and perhaps the game of the tournament so far. The Indomitable Lions, five-time AFCON winners, are not as strong as in past years but showed their quality to down South Africa 2-1 in the round of 16. Both teams head into the quarter-final clash unbeaten but only one can progress to the last four, with the other set for heartbreak.

Check out how to watch Mali v Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Mali and Senegal meet in Tangier on Friday to kick off the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations 2025. The Lions of Teranga remain unbeaten in the tournament after proving too good for Sudan in the round of 16. Sadio Mane and co. survived an early scare to win 3-1 and move one step closer to a second AFCON triumph. Mali may feel that fate is on their side after a dramatic victory over Tunisia in the last 16. Lassine Sinayoko converted a 96th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot and the Eagles would go on to win the game via a shootout. Tom Saintfiet's side now look to spring an upset against their West African neighbours as they hunt their first AFCON semi-final since 2013.

From EastEnders to Coronation Street: Which soap star has racked up the most appearances?
Who comes up trumps as we kick off 2026, and who could move further up the top 10?
With a collective 188 years on air, and a whopping 36,181 episodes, it's no surprise that the soap stars of Coronation Street, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Hollyoaks have become household names. Let's face it, the shows air that frequently that we probably spend more time in the characters' company each week than that of our friends. It goes without saying that Corrie legend William Roache, who has played Ken Barlow since episode one on 9th December 1960 should definitely be up there with the most appearances across the board. But given the ITV soap didn't introduce a third weekly episode until 29 years later 1989, how does he compare with the EastEnders titans, who added their third episode just 9 years into the serial's run? And how do the actors compare with their co-stars? Luckily, RadioTimes.com has done some digging and has all the details. Coronation Street characters episode count With 11,771 episodes to its name, Coronation Street is the longest-running television soap opera in the world. In 2020, Roache was recognised as being the actor to have appeared the longest in one continuous role. But given his episode count has dwindled in recent years, could another character eventually pip Ken to the post? 1. William Roache as Ken Barlow, 4924 episodes since 1960 2. Helen Worth as Gail Chadwick, 4606 episodes between 1974 and 2025 3. Barbara Knox as Rita Tanner, 3983 episodes since 1964 4. Sally Dynevor as Sally Metcalfe, 3934 episodes since 1986 5. Simon Gregson as Steve McDonald, 3828 episodes since 1989 6. Michael Le Vell as Kevin Webster, 3867 episodes since 1983 7. Sue Nicholls as Audrey Roberts, 3456 episodes since 1979 8. Anne Kirkbride as Deirdre Barlow, 3346 episodes between 1972 and 2014 9. Eileen Derbyshire as Emily Bishop, 3303 episodes between 1961 and 2019 10. Thomas Ormson and Jack P Shepherd as David Platt, 3194 episodes since 1990 (Ormson - 364 episodes, Shepherd - 2820 episodes) Emmerdale characters episode count While Chris Chittell has played Pollard for almost 40 years, Dingle fever has dominated the Dales since the '90s and as a result, six members of the unruly clan make Emmerdale's top 10 and push him out of the top spot. The serial started out as a daytime farming drama on the 16th October 1972, following the Sugden family on their homestead. Despite that, only one member of the family appears in the line-up. It should also be noted that characters Cain and Paddy Dingle are just 10 episodes apart from one another. There have been 10,487 episodes to date. 1. Mark Charnock as Marlon Dingle, 3956 episodes since 1996 2. Lucy Pargeter as Chas Dingle, 3521 episodes since 2002 3. Chris Chittell as Eric Pollard, 3473 episodes since 1986 4. Jeff Hordley as Cain Dingle, 3320 episodes since 2000 5. Dominic Brunt as Paddy Dingle, 3310 episodes since 1997 6. Emma Atkins as Charity Dingle, 3145 episodes since 2000 7. Tony Audenshaw as Bob Hope, 3051 episodes since 2000 8. Elizabeth Estensen as Diane Sugden, 3025 episodes between 1999 and 2022 9. Steve Halliwell as Zak Dingle, 2930 episodes between 1994 and 2023 10. Nicola Wheeler as Nicola King, 2854 episodes since 2001 EastEnders characters episode count EastEnders is fortunate to have three characters – four, if you include Tracey the barmaid – still in the cast from the show's first episode, which was broadcast on 19th February 1985. Steve McFadden, who has played Phil Mitchell since 1990, is just 11 episodes behind longest-running star Adam Woodyatt as Ian Beale. Some names who didn't make the list are Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy), who appeared in just eight less than Wendy Richard's Pauline Fowler when she departed last year, and Lacey Turner's Stacey Slater, who is 20 episodes behind Sonia. There have been 7,258 episodes to date. 1. Adam Woodyatt as Ian Beale, 3684 episodes since 1985 2. Steve McFadden as Phil Mitchell, 3673 episodes since 1990 3. Letitia Dean as Sharon Watts, 2720 episodes since 1985 4. Gillian Taylforth as Kathy Beale, 2283 episodes since 1985 5. June Brown as Dot Branning, 2278 episodes between 1985 and 2020 6. Perry Fenwick as Billy Mitchell, 2250 episodes since 1998 7. Pam St Clement as Pat Evans, 2189 episodes between 1986 and 2025 8. Jon Peyton-Price, James Alexandrou and James Bye as Martin Fowler, 2087 episodes between 1985 and 2025 (Peyton-Price - 308 episodes, Alexandrou - 755 episodes, Bye - 1033 episodes) 9. Jessie Wallace as Kat Moon, 1998 episodes since 2000 10. Wendy Richard as Pauline Fowler, 1949 episodes between 1985 and 2007 Hollyoaks characters episode count Hollyoaks, which began on 23rd October 1995, celebrated its 30th Anniversary last year. Along the way there have been countless spin-offs, so while the main show has totalled 6,665 episodes to date, we've also included character appearances in these 'soap bubbles' as part of their running total. It's no surprise that the iconic Tony Hutchinson tops the list, but how do the other Chester residents compare? 1. Nick Pickard as Tony Hutchinson, 2601 appearances since 1995 2. Adam Booth and Ashley Taylor-Dawson as Darren Osborne, 2046 episodes since 1996 (Booth - 14 episodes, Taylor Dawson - 2032 episodes) 3. Jennifer Metcalfe as Mercedes McQueen, 1768 episodes since 2006 4. Kieron Richardson as Ste Hay, 1710 episodes since 2006 5. Jessica Fox as Nancy Osborne, 1694 episodes since 2005 6. Laura Crossley and Stephanie Waring as Cindy Cunningham, 1522 episodes between 1995 and 2024 (Crossley - 17 episodes, Waring - 1505 episodes) 7. Jimmy McKenna as Jack Osborne, 1458 episodes since 1996 8. Sarah Jayne Dunn as Mandy Richardson, 1346 episodes between 1996 and 2021 9. Anna Passey as Sienna Blake, 1242 episodes since 2012 10. Jamie Lomas as Warren Fox, 1108 episodes since 2006 How does everyone compare? When we compile the above data and look at the top 10 from all four British soaps, unfortunately none of the Hollyoaks cast make the list. Interestingly, Marlon Dingle is less than 30 episodes behind Rita Tanner, and Sally Metcalfe is 22 episodes behind him. Meanwhile, Kevin Webster is just six episodes behind Phil Mitchell. Let the battle commence... 1. William Roache as Ken Barlow, 4924 episodes since 1960 2. Helen Worth as Gail Chadwick, 4606 episodes between 1974 and 2025 3. Barbara Knox as Rita Tanner, 3983 episodes since 1964 4. Mark Charnock as Marlon Dingle, 3956 episodes since 1996 5. Sally Dynevor as Sally Metcalfe, 3934 episodes since 1986 6.

Taskmaster season 21 A-list star explains why he signed up – and the former contestant who made it happen
"I've been trying to do it for a long time."
Taskmaster is returning with another eclectic cast of contestants later this year, including one from across the pond. Silicon Valley and Eternals star Kumail Nanjiani is possibly the most eye-catching name on an impressive season 21 line-up that also includes Amy Gledhill, Armando Iannucci, Joanna Page and Joel Dommett. For Taskmaster viewers, Nanjiani's signing is huge and fans have been speculating how the Oscar nominee came to join the Channel 4 entertainment show. And he has now revealed that he has one former cast member to thank for helping him land the gig... Speaking to Vulture, Nanjiani explained that season 1 contestant – and the show's official task consultant – Tim Key got the ball rolling after the pair met. Nanjiani recalled that he had invited another former Taskmaster contestant, James Acaster, to a party at his house, and he brought Key with him. Nanjiani told Key how much he loved the show – after discovering it in 2018 through Acaster's season – and how badly he wanted to take part. From that, it was a quick text from Key to Alex Horne and the rest is history! Watch the full clip below: View oEmbed on the source website Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on Google "We [Nanjiani and wife Emily V Gordon] have been fans for a long time, I think season 7 was coming out then," he said of his love of the show. "I've been trying to do it for a long time." He added of filming: "It was great. It was so fun. And I really loved our group. Like truly, genuinely, we all fell in love. It was joyful." Find out more about the Taskmaster season 21 line-up in the video below: View Green Video on the source website Nanjiani isn't the first US-based star to appear on Taskmaster, with Jason Mantzoukas – who was also a huge fan of the show – memorably appearing on season 19. Mantzoukas told Collider last year: "I was a fan to the degree that I was like, 'Oh, I'm such a fan of this!' Not just like, 'I'm enjoying it', but like that kind of fandom that's like, 'I want to do that. I want to be inside the show.' "I happen to be very lucky that I can activate people on my behalf; I said to my manager, 'Can you just ask the producers?' So, when they were willing to talk to me and then were so immediately interested in me being a part of it, I was like, 'Oh my god.'" Read more: 19 greatest Taskmaster contestants ever ranked – from Mel Giedroyc to Bob Mortimer Taskmaster's Alex Horne: "Our policy is we'll only do it if it's good" Taskmaster season 21 will air later this year on Channel 4 and on the official Taskmaster YouTube channel elsewhere globally.

Hollyoaks stars reveal dramatic reunion for Ste Hay and 'dead' husband James Nightingale
Kieron Richardson and Greg Finnegan talk James's return.
It was the twist nobody saw coming – during Hollyoaks' 30th Anniversary celebrations last year, James Nightingale (Greg Finnegan) was shown to be very much alive despite dying in a car explosion. His initial exit coincided with the Channel 4 soap's cost-cutting measures, with five, 30-minute episodes per week reduced to just three, 20-minute episodes. That meant that swathes of village favourites had to leave, and James was unfortunately one of those casualties. The following week, as the drama sky-rocketed one year into the future, his husband Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) was still in a coma after the incident and after waking, refused to believe that his beloved had perished. We even saw the rest of the Hay-Lomax clan paying tribute at James's grave. However, it later transpired that he had seemingly survived, and blackmailed Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor-Dawson) into not saying anything. Peri Lomax (Ruby O'Donnell) spotted them together, though died in a plane crash before she could reveal all. In today's episode, Ste initially thought he was hallucinating his hubby after being poisoned by twisted son Lucas (Oscar Curtis). James quickly realised that Ste was unwell, and called an ambulance. However, when Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) arrived, he fled the scene – but not before telling Ste how much he loves him. Later, with Ste recovering at home, James paid him another visit and explained that the reason he fled the village was because he believed he was in love with Rex, and that they had no future together. His fugitive son Romeo (Owen Warner) was also in need of help. Overwhelmed with anger and emotion, Ste pondered whether he could ever forgive James for putting him through so much turmoil. Speaking of the upcoming story, Richardson teased: ‘Talk about timing for James’s return. It’s New Year, which normally means fresh starts but for these two we have to go back… “Ste has to get over the shock of James returning initially but then there is also everything that has happened during him not being there to unpack. He has been raising his grandchild, dealing with abuse from Lucas and complex relationships, while grieving. “It’s been great to work with Greg who is so great and giving as an actor that it’s felt special again.” Finnegan added: “The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally upon us.

Channel 4 records its biggest Christmas week on linear TV in over a decade for 2025
The broadcaster recorded bigger year-on-year linear and streaming growth than the BBC and ITV, according to BARB.
It was a strong Christmas for Channel 4 on linear TV, new data has revealed. According to data from BARB, the TV ratings agency, the broadcaster recorded its biggest Christmas week on linear TV since 2012. Channel 4 also recorded bigger year-on-year linear growth (9%) than BBC One (-17%), BBC Two (+3%), ITV1 (+2%) and 5 (+7%), per the data. This was in addition to achieving bigger year-on-year streaming growth than its rival broadcasters, with Channel 4’s streaming viewer minutes growing 48% year on year for the Christmas week – ahead of the BBC (-21%), Sky (-12%), 5 (+20%) and ITV (+16%). Across December, Channel 4 streaming viewer minutes among people aged 16-34 were up 13% year on year, boosted by coverage of the Africa Cup of Nations. A number of hit Channel 4 shows helped to drive this growth, including Big Fat Quiz of the Year, 24 Hours in Police Custody, The Great British Bake Off’s festive specials and Taskmaster Champion of Champions. It comes after Channel 4 recently emerged as the fastest-growing streaming platform, with the broadcaster’s streaming viewer minutes growing 36% year-on-year in September. Across the month, viewer minutes totalled more than 6 billion – a record for the broadcaster.

Check out how to watch Ivory Coast v Burkina Faso in the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
West African neignbours Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso will scrap it out for the final spot in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals when they meet on Tuesday evening. The reigning champions have made an unbeaten start to their title defence and topped Group F after going unbeaten through their three games, with a 1-1 draw against Cameroon bookended by narrow victories over Mozambique and Gabon. Six points was enough for second place behind Algeria in Group E for Burkina Faso, whose defensive solidity and industry should suit knockout football. As they showed in their opener against Equatorial Guinea, when they scored twice in stoppage time to come from behind and win 2-1, the Stallions just do not know when they're beaten – a trait that could prove very useful at the business end of the tournament.

Check out how to watch Algeria v DR Congo in the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
A place in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 will be on the line when Algeria and DR Congo face off on Tuesday. The Desert Warriors, led by captain and talisman Riyad Mahrez, won three from three to storm into the knockout stages as the Group E winners. Algeria are among the teams tipped to go all the way and add a third AFCON crown to their 2019 and 1990 titles later this month. Before they can start dreaming of silverware, the North African outfit will need to do what no team has yet done this tournament and defeat DR Congo. The Leopards, two-time AFCON winners themselves, went unbeaten in Group D, only finishing second to Senegal on goal difference and could be a real danger in the knockout stages given their threat on the break.

The Great Pottery Throw Down 2026 line-up: Confirmed contestants
Meet the new contestants hoping to sculpt their way to the final.
The Great Pottery Thrown Down returned for its ninth season over the weekend, introducing fans to 12 talented potters all of whom are vying for the chance to be named Britain's Best Home Potter. This weekend (11th January), the potters will be put through their paces as they create a statement pair of book ends and face a surprise brickmaking challenge. Siobhán McSweeney returns as host once more with regular ceramics superstar judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller. So, who are the potters taking part in The Great Pottery Throw Down? Scroll down to find out more! The Great Pottery Throw Down 2026 line-up Andrew Angharad Bill Elham Emily Fynn Kayleigh Kaz Mark Naveed Olympia Whitney Read on to find out more about this year's cast. Andrew Age: 48 Location: Hampshire Job: English teacher Andrew teaches English in a secondary school in London and in his spare time enjoys gardening, painting and sewing, even making his own suit for his wedding. He started potting when a friend invited him along to an evening class, and has been throwing clay for 18 years ever since! Andrew enjoys making functional items and often makes gifts for his students. Angharad Age: 34 Location: Bridgend Job: Communication support worker Angharad used to work in the wig and makeup department in London's West End and around the UK before moving back home to Wales in 2018. She now works as a communication support worker, currently assisting her mum who is the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Manager for a cancer charity. Angharad first got her hands on clay during a school trip to a museum but came back to it properly seven years ago when she took a hand-building course. She enjoys making illustrative pieces with lots of colour. Bill Age: 33 Location: Herefordshire Job: Volunteer teaching assistant Bill has dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism and enjoys living in a quiet, relaxed area. He was introduced to clay when he was young by his grandmother who loved sculpting animals. Elham Age: 31 Location: Sheffield Job: Midwife Elham's pottery journey began during 'nap time' - a dining table, one bag of clay, a basic tool set, and snippets of time squeezed between family life. Emily Age: 39 Location: Inverness Job: Habitat restoration ecologist Emily has always loved art subjects but veered towards more academic studies for her A-levels. She never lost touch completely with the art crowd and returned to pottery a few years ago after attending a class with a friend. Fynn Age: 37 Location: Cornwall Job: Tattooist Fynn was surrounded by creativity growing up, whether it was painting with his grandmother or doing textiles and printmaking with his mother. He first tried pottery as a six week addition to an illustration degree, but it was only two years ago that he began to take his hobby seriously. Kayleigh Age: 38 Location: Oxfordshire Job: Art teacher Kayleigh is head of art at a prep school and enjoys passing on her creative skills to her students. She was disappointed that her art degree didn’t include ceramics and enrolled on an introductory course, and still attends evening classes now, with her pieces often inspired by folklore stories and nature. Kaz Age: 62 Location: Swansea Job: Former psychiatric nurse Kaz is currently studying ceramics at Carmarthen School of Art, where she has found a passion for sculpture and is proving to be a quick learner. Mark Age: 63 Location: Merseyside Job: University facilities and estate manager Mark has a number of hobbies, including sewing, bee-keeping, woodwork, kite flying and canoeing. It was Mark's bonsai tree hobby that led him to clay, as the square pots were expensive and hard to find so he set out to make his own. He started classes and has now built his own pottery shed at home, acquiring a second-hand wheel that he refurbished himself. Naveed Age: 42 Location: Folkestone Job: Actor and toy shop owner Naveed was gifted pottery lessons three years ago and went on to do more courses as he loved it so much. It has become a welcome creative outlet and he now has a pottery space set up in his basement. Olympia Age: 28 Location: West midlands Job: Between jobs Olympia was inspired by pottery videos she spotted online before she started having a go herself. She has since progressed through a mixture of courses and online self-teaching and enjoys being part of her local community pottery studio. Whitney Age: 36 Location: Glasgow Job: Chemistry teacher Looking to try something new a few years ago, Whitney took pottery lessons and was hooked. He enjoys bringing his scientific background to his potting, being very detailed and precise when making. The Great Pottery Throw Down continues on Sunday 11th January at 7:45pm on Channel 4.

David Baddiel explains why he's pushing back on cat stereotypes in new show with Ricky Gervais and Jonathan Ross
From his three pet cats to Three Lions, the comedian is a feline-obsessive.
This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. What’s the view from your sofa? We’ve got quite a big sofa, in front of the telly and a gas fire. Normally there are two or three cats on or around it and a mix of family. I like to decide what to watch around 8pm. If we leave it to half nine, I’ll be falling asleep, as will my wife [writer Morwenna Banks], and the kids will be FaceTiming friends. Do you agree on what to watch together? She won’t thank me for mentioning this, because it sounds a bit self-indulgent, but Morwenna has showrun Down Cemetery Road [the Apple TV thriller starring Emma Thompson] and likes us all to watch it together. That can be quite complicated, because if we start talking, she’s like, “Shhh, this is a good bit!” My son Ezra and I watch football together, and my daughter Dolly and I recently watched Severance with Frank Skinner, who lives on the same street. Morwenna and I are keener on documentaries. You’ve also written a new TV drama? Yeah, I love storytelling and I really enjoyed writing Hunting Alice Bell [an upcoming C4 thriller], which is about four women who are mistaken for being the lover of a notorious serial killer and come out fighting against the mob. It’s a metaphor for the disinformation and madness we’re seeing now and also a fairly low-budget thriller, so seeing a helicopter blow up on Down Cemetery Road stirred some complicated feelings. Do your cats watch telly? Tiger really likes telly, although Ron and Zelda are less bothered. Tiger loves sport and sometimes music, especially the Bee Gees. They’re all from the same mum, but we gave Zelda to my parents as a kitten. When my dad got dementia and my mum died, Zelda was mainly living in the garden. By the time she came back to us, it wasn’t like Long Lost Family, unless Long Lost Family had an episode where someone spat and hissed at their new mum. Zelda [pictured above] is very high maintenance, Tiger loves you unconditionally and Ron is a weirdo, although he’s become more friendly since his mum died. What is David Baddiel: Cat Man about? It’s a polemic, in a way, pushing back on stereotypes that cats don’t do anything, that they’re mean and selfish and have no empathy compared to dogs. The programme has paddleboarding cats, cats that go for walks, cats that help out at hospitals, and I have Jonathan Ross, Ricky Gervais, Dawn O’Porter and other people speaking about cats in a very emotional way. Have you always been a cat person? My dad was a Welsh working-class bloke whose top note was irritation. I said at his funeral that he was a man who liked football, food and shouting, “Who the f**king hell is this now?” every time the phone rang. The one place he showed affection was towards our cat, which was foundational for my brothers and me because we’ve all ended up as cat people. The relationship you might have with a cat is possibly more complex than with a dog, and cats are more like humans. You’ve been called the voice of football, alternative comedy, laddism, British Jews... Would you drop all those to be the voice of cats? Absolutely! I’ve always been obsessed, to some extent, with cats. I don’t feel very happy unless there’s a cat in the vicinity. I also don’t particularly like being seen as one thing. When I’m asked to speak about antisemitism, I tend to say no now – not because it’s not still a very important issue, but because I’ve decided to not be seen as an activist. Your 1996 single Three Lions will be rolled out at the World Cup this year. Does that still make you proud? Well, there’s been a concerted effort by the FA to supplant it with Sweet Caroline, which is weird, given it’s an American anthem and not about football. In the Gareth Southgate era, there was a sense of needing to move on, especially because our 1998 version had audio footage of him missing the penalty, so I understood why he found that difficult! But I’m very proud of Three Lions. The music’s great and the lyrics do connect with football fans. The latest issue of Radio Times is out now – subscribe here. David Baddiel: Cat Man begins on Friday 16th January at 8pm on Channel 4. Check out more of our Documentaries coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Hollyoaks and Brookside to crossover again as three legendary characters arrive in the village
The returns were confirmed in the 2026 trailer.
The worlds of Hollyoaks and Brookside are set to combine once again, as fan-favourite Tim 'Tinhead' O'Leary swans into the village - and into one resident's bed! He's not alone, as sister-in-law Nikki Shadwick (Suzanne Collins) strikes up a friendship with Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe), and Thomas 'Sinbad' Sweeney (Michael Starke) is also roaming the Chester streets in his black cab. Cheeky chappy Tin' made his first appearance on the now defunct Channel 4 soap in 1996, before becoming a resident of the cul de sac the following year. He would continue to appear until the final episode in November 2003. During his time on the show he caused a near-fatal accident that almost killed his sister Melanie (Elizabeth Lovelady), found an unlikely mate in Sinbad and turned to a life of crime, which saw the death of wife Emily (Jennifer Ellison) in a botched robbery. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/Tinhead-Liberty-Sienna-LimePictures-6d5ee3d.jpg" width="5796" height="3864" alt="Tinhead, in a burgundy jumper and black jacket, stands in the centre of Liberty Savage, in a green jacket, blue dress and green beret and Sienna Blake, who is wearing a long yellow raincoat in Hollyoaks." title="Tinhead - Liberty - Sienna @LimePictures" /> So beloved, actor Philip Olivier was selected as one of a few former Brookie actors to reprise their roles in a special crossover edition of Hollyoaks. He shared scenes with Collins as Nikki, who first joined the cast in 1998. The instalment, which aired as part of 'Oaks's 30th Anniversary celebrations, came into fruition as a result of the two soaps being created by Sir Phil Redmond. At the conclusion of the episode, Tinhead batted his eyelashes at troubled Marie Fielding (Rita Simons), who had bought a house on the famed Liverpudlian housing estate. Starke played Sinbad across two stints between 1984 and 2000, first arriving in Hollyoaks as taxi driver 'Benny' in 2021. No explanation was given for his name change, and folk now refer to him as Sinbad once again! Now, in upcoming Hollyoaks scenes, Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart) is on cloud nine after finding a potential new love – her first chance of a relationship since controversially hooking up with her half-sister Sienna's (Anna Passey) murderous dad Jez (Jeremy Sheffield) - it's Tinhead! It seems he has somewhat of an ulterior motive for being in Chester, but what is it? Meanwhile, as the 2026 trailer shows, newcomer Jenson - played by Waterloo Road and Coronation Street star Ryan Clayton - enjoys a flirtatious moment with Mercedes. Later we see him having words with Tinhead, who is seemingly using Warren’s identity. Elsewhere, Nikki strikes up a friendship with Mercedes at a local rehabilitation facility. Elsewhere, having broken up with partner Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi) at Christmas, Donny Clark (Louis Emerick) – who lived most of his life as Mick Johnson on Brookside – needs to escape from the village. He's troubled following a sexual assault last year, and calls on old pal Sinbad for help. Speaking of her return, Collins said: “I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw Nikki has a friendship with the iconic Mercedes. I’m a huge fan of Jen, always have been. She’s an incredible actress. View oEmbed on the source website “The response to the crossover was incredible, so warm and positive. I’ve been sworn to secrecy, but since getting the news that Nikki would be returning I’ve been floating around on cloud nine with the biggest secret smile on my face.” Olivier added: “I’m so happy to be back in the building. Tinhead’s got a new fling this time around but he’s also got some unfinished business lurking in the background.” Hollyoaks is available to watch on catch-up on Channel 4 and airs Monday to Wednesday on E4.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - Sky Atlantic and NOW (19th January 2026) Game of Thrones goes granular in this smaller-scale spin-off, which follows a lowly knight aiming for gold and glory at a tournament. Familiar faces like Bertie Carvel and Daniel Ings turn up as nobles, but scrappy lead characters Ser Duncan and Squire Egg are played by newcomers Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell. Huw Fullerton 3. Under Salt Marsh - Sky Atlantic and NOW (29th January 2026) Hot off America’s most popular drama, Yellowstone, Kelly Reilly leads the cast in this high-end whodunnit/police procedural, which, refreshingly, is not based on a novel or podcast. In a Welsh coastal village, the mother-of-all-storms is gathering as the body of a child is discovered, which plunges disgraced former police detective Jackie into a maelstrom of her own. Is this death linked to that of another child three years prior? (Spoiler alert: yes.) Rafe Spall and Jonathan Pryce co-star. Gareth McLean 4. Betrayal - ITV1 and ITVX (early 2026) Shaun Evans endeavours to juggle professional and personal pressures as an MI5 agent who learns of a possible plot on UK soil. But can he avert an attack at the same time as saving his failing marriage? He’s one spy facing two crises with zero margin for error. David Brown 5. The Walsh Sisters - BBC One and BBC iPlayer (early 2026) Five of the Walsh Sisters novels by best-selling Irish author Marian Keyes, who also executive produces the Dublin-set series, are being brought to the screen for the first time. Get ready to meet the dysfunctional yet fun family unit with troubled Anna (Louisa Harland), lovable Rachel (Caroline Menton), “mammy’s favourite” Maggie (Stefanie Preissner, who adapted the show), the eldest Claire (Danielle Galligan), and baby of the family Helen (Máiréad Tyers). Laura Rutkowski 6. Missed Call - 5 (next month) From the makers of The Au Pair starring Sally Bretton, this thriller is a picturesque, middle-class twist on every parent’s worst nightmare. Joanna Scanlan stars as a mother searching for her teenage daughter who goes missing while on a school exchange programme in France. C’est un cauchemar, vraiment. GM 7. How to get to Heaven from Belfast - Netflix (February) “This is the show I’ve always wanted to make,” Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee revealed. “A mash‑up of my two favourite genres, mystery and comedy.” She’s back with this eight-part series about friendship, following three lifelong friends in their late-30s, Saoirse (Roísín Gallagher), Robyn (Sinéad Keenan) and Dara (Caoilfhionn Dunne), who reunite when they discover their estranged childhood friend Greta (Natasha O’Keefe) has died. LR 8. The Lady - ITV1 and ITVX (coming soon) In demand Mia McKenna-Bruce stars as Jane Andrews, once a dresser to the then-Duchess of York, who briefly became more famous than her former employer with her conviction of the murder of boyfriend Thomas Cressman in 2001. Natalie Dormer plays Sarah, with Philip Glenister and Claire Skinner also in the cast. Caroline Frost 9. Lord of the Flies - BBC One and BBC iPlayer (coming soon) Adolescence co-writer Jack Thorne gets stuck into another story of young male rage in this adaptation of William Golding’s seminal castaway story. But don’t expect too many familiar faces – the casting team specifically sought out lads of 6-12 with no previous acting experience to embody Ralph, Piggy, Simon, Jack and the rest. HF 10. Scarpetta - Prime Video (11 March 2026) The Kidman-aissance continues as Nicole Kidman takes on the esteemed role of Kay Scarpetta from Patricia Cornwell’s best-selling crime novels, a pathologist who solves mysteries with sophisticated forensic technology. This glossy new Prime Video series also boasts two more Oscar winners in the form of Jamie Lee Curtis and Ariana DeBose. Lewis Knight 11. A Woman of Substance - Channel 4 (coming soon) Forty years after Barbara Taylor Bradford’s best-selling epic novel was adapted for TV, this remake of the 20th-century-spanning, rags-to-riches journey of a Yorkshire maid has much in its favour - scripts by Katherine Jakeways and Roanne Bardsley, and Brenda Blethyn as the woman at the heart of the drama. But will it resonate as the original did in Thatcher’s aspirational Eighties? The campaign to remake Shirley Conran’s Lace starts here. GM 12. Gone - ITV1 and ITVX (coming soon) Not to be confused with Paramount+’s The Crow Girl, in which Eve Myles plays a Bristol cop engaged in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse, Gone sees Eve Myles play a Bristol cop engaged in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. Here, David Morrissey is her adversary, the teacher whose wife has vanished. From writer George Kay (The Long Shadow, Lupin), who may well be the new Williams brothers. GM 13. The Other Bennett Sister - BBC One and BBC iPlayer (coming soon) <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/12/Other-Bennet-Sister-cast-d967f31.jpg" width="5120" height="3414" alt="Maddie Close as Jane Bennet, Poppy Gilbert as Lizzie Bennet, Ella Bruccoleri as Mary Bennet, Molly Wright as Kitty Bennet and Grace Hogg-Robinson as Lydia Bennet in The Other Bennet Sister all walking down a country path, wearing pastel coloured outfits and smiling." title="547457,TITLE:The Other Bennet Sister" /> For those pondering the fate of bookish Mary, this jolly romp based on Janice Hadlow’s novel promises to fill in some of the gaps left by Jane Austen. Richard E Grant and Ruth Jones star as the beleaguered Bennet parents, with Call the Midwife’s Ella Bruccoleri stepping into the title role. CM 14. The Miniature Wife - Sky and NOW (coming soon) Starring acting royalty Matthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks, this marital drama follows a couple who face a pint-sized problem with big consequences after a disastrous technological accident changes everything for them. A power struggle ensues in the surreal comedy-drama based on the short story by Manuel Gonzalez. Louise Griffin 15. Falling - Channel 4 (coming soon) Writer Jack Thorne said he never thought he’d write a love story, but his first one is slightly unconventional. When nun Anna (Keeley Hawes) and Catholic priest David (Paapa Essiedu) unexpectedly fall in love, despite being dedicated to their work in the church, what does it mean for their relationship with God, and with each other? Jason Watkins, Niamh Cusack and Adrian Scarborough also star. LR 16. The Pitt - HBO MAX (coming soon) View Green Video on the source website This tense, real-time medical drama was a smash hit in America last year, but British viewers only now get to catch up thanks to the UK roll-out of streaming service HBO Max. In the lead role, ER’s Noah Wyle plays doctor once again, though the tortured Dr Robby is a rather different beast from his former, fresh-faced Dr Carter. HF Returning dramas: 17. Industry - BBC One and BBC iPlayer (12th January 2026) Amidst a raft of new faces, including The Handmaid’s Tale star Max Minghella, this season of Industry is set to be as high-stakes as ever as the focus remains firmly on Harper and Yasmin. While Yasmin is navigating her new relationship with Kit Harington’s Sir Henry Muck, Harper is forever dedicated to fintech, but what will this spell for their friendship? Morgan Cormack 18. Call the Midwife - BBC One and BBC iPlayer (11 January 2026) <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/12/call-the-midwife-season-15-episode-1-11ce778.jpg" width="4284" height="2856" alt="Helen George as Trixie Franklin, Natalie Quarry as Rosalind Clifford and Renee Bailey as Joyce Highland in Call the Midwife, holding placards reading 'BURN YOUR BRAS' and 'EQUAL PAY NOW' and marching down the street with lots of women behind them." title="Helen George as Trixie Franklin, Natalie Quarry as Rosalind Clifford and Renee Bailey as Joyce Highland in Call the Midwife" /> Season 15 sees Sister Julienne, Dr Turner, and the Nonnatus House team navigating a rapidly changing 1971, from rising hospital births to a sweeping NHS reorganisation. Against the backdrop of the women’s liberation movement and accelerating social and medical progress, the team face challenges that test their resilience. AR 19. Hijack - Apple TV+ (14th January 2026) While season 1 took place in the confined realms of an aeroplane, this instalment unfolds within the Berlin underground system. Idris Elba returns as quick-thinking lead Sam Nelson, who finds himself in another tricky hostage situation where a clever plot twist will undoubtedly leave viewers guessing throughout the series. MC 10. Bridgerton - Netflix (29th January 2026) The focus this time round is on the less serious second-oldest sibling of the Bridgerton clan, Benedict, whose course to true love really doesn’t run smoothly at all. Not only does he fall in love with a mysterious Lady in Silver, but the woman in question - Sophie - is a resourceful maid, making for an intriguing upstairs-downstairs dynamic that the series hasn’t delved into before. MC 21. Outlander - MGM+ (7 March 2026) The steamy time-travel romance comes to an end after 101 episodes and nearly 12 years onscreen. Over that time, in 18th-century Scotland and America, Claire and Jamie (Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan) have crossed centuries and continents to be together – but that won’t make their final challenges any easier. HF 22. The Capture - BBC One and BBC iPlayer (coming soon) <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/11/Holliday-Grainger-as-Rachel-Carey-in-The-Capture-S3-coming-to-BBC-iPlayer-and-BBC-One-in-Spring-2026-291b2ba.jpg" width="7203" height="4802" alt="Holliday Grainger as Rachel Carey in The Capture season 3, stood in an interview room with her back to a mirror, which reflects her multiple times." title="Holliday Grainger as Rachel Carey in The Capture S3 coming to BBC iPlayer and BBC One in Spring 2026" /> Two previous outings of this disturbingly zeitgeisty drama saw public figures caught in the crosshairs of the deepfake footage “Correction” programme, now exposed. Series 3 sees Holliday Grainger’s detective Rachel Carey promoted to lead the fight against more falsehoods AND possibly the tougher challenge of restoring public trust in tech. CM 23. Death in Paradise - BBC One and BBC iPlayer (early 2026) After initial uncertainty over Don Warrington’s return as the commissioner, fans can breathe easy after Selwyn decided to take his job back in the Christmas special. Elsewhere, Mervin finally connects with the brother he didn’t know existed until recently, and there were hints last season that romance could be on the cards for Catherine. AR 24. Silent Witness - BBC One and BBC iPlayer (coming soon) Season 29 of the BBC crime drama finds Nikki and Jack adjusting to married life after an understated ceremony in the last instalment. But while their future is secure, the Lyell Centre faces uncertainty: the Home Office wants Nikki to head a new forensic centre in Birmingham, but she insists Harriet leads it, leaving the team’s next move unclear. AR 25. Professor T - ITV1 and ITVX (coming soon) Ben Miller dons his white latex gloves once more as Professor Jasper Tempest in the fourth season of this ITV crime drama, adapted from the Belgian series. Picking up six months after the death of their colleague Donckets, Tempest and his team must navigate their grief while racing to tackle a dangerous new wave of crime. AR 26. The Marlow Murder Club - U&Drama (coming soon) It may be picture perfect, but the body count is continuing to rise in the Buckinghamshire market town. Among the guest stars joining the unlikely sleuths in series 3 of the cosy whodunnit are Peter Davison, Nigel Harman and Harry Enfield.

Neighbours star Ryan Moloney opens up on ADHD in tough Celebrity SAS interrogation
Moloney was one of the first celebrity recruits to be pulled into an interrogation.
Neighbours star Ryan Moloney made an emotional admission about his ADHD during tonight's episode of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. The actor, best known for his role as Toadie in the Aussie soap, is representing Team Australia in the latest outing of the high stakes reality series, and was one of the first recruits to be pulled into the interrogation room by the Directing Staff. In the opening episode, Moloney took on a leading role amongst the camp, often ordering the other recruits on when to fill their water bottles and when to be ready for the next tasks, something the DS took careful note of. Admitting they were "concerned" about Moloney's character, the DS want to learn more about the actor and call him into the interrogation room. Asked how he was finding the experience so far, Moloney shared: "I'm going through periods of fear and kind of going up and down and throwing myself into it as best as I can and learning the rules first." As he shared about his life growing up, Moloney admitted he had an "interesting" upbringing, particularly so as he joined the cast of Neighbours at just 15 years old, and stayed on for three decades. Asked how it felt to be someone else for such a long time, Moloney said: "It's a very hectic time when you go to work and you're in this headspace for 12 hours and then you go home and try to do family life and then you learn your lines the next day so you don't really get a break from it. But for a very, very long time I've been pushing myself to go, there's Neighbours but I've gotta have something else." Recalling a particularly tough moment in his life, Moloney shared: "[I] just haven't really had a break and nothing is ever good enough. [I] just kind of found myself standing and going, if this is it I don't want to do it anymore and then it was okay, alright, that's not the answer, I need to answer what's going on with my head and then I was diagnosed with ADHD." Asked further if the diagnosis has helped him, Ryan said: "Once I got that diagnosis, that's the best f***ing news I've ever heard because now I understand why my brain does what it does, now I get why I see things very differently."

As per the log line for the series, not everyone has what it takes to make it to the end "as bonds snap, egos shatter, and recruits are pushed so far past their limits they forget they ever had any". It continues: "But when the dust settles, one question remains: will any of these celebrities make it to the end of this physically demanding and psychologically gruelling course and impress the DS enough to pass the course? And, more importantly, will the UK or Australia emerge victorious when the rivalry finally reaches its breaking point?"
