description: Jo Martin's Suzie is getting back in the dating pool - and it seems romance could be on the cards.
encoded: As Samantha Bond's character Judith's romance "develops" with Hugh Quarshie's Darius in The Marlow Murder Club season 3, it seems another relationship might be in store, as Jo Martin's Suzie tries blind dating. Bond revealed the upcoming storyline while speaking exclusively with Radio Times, saying of season 3: "Suzie decides to try blind dating. And that's very, very funny, and someone she knows really quite well decides to go blind dating at the same time." Meanwhile, Martin also spoke with Radio Times, and teased that she "may be in a little bit of a love story" this time around. "I don't want to say any more than that, but there's something blossoming," Martin said. "Because obviously Judith has got her little love interest with the great Hugh Quarshie. That's kind of blossoming, and that's great." Speaking about her hopes for the character in potential future seasons, Martin added: "Since her relationship with her daughter's father, she's not had anything. And I think she's still a vibrant older woman who's got a lot to give in the love stakes. "I think she's looking at Judith and Hugh's character, and she's thinking 'I could have some of that.' And I think there's a journey for that." This season is also set to see a particularly personal storyline for Cara Horgan's Becks, as she becomes one of the suspects in a murder investigation. Bond teased that Judith and Suzie "have to suspect her", even if they don't believe she's capable of such a crime. "It also means, because she's on the inside of the investigation and they're on the outside, there's a conflict of, what can they ask?", Bond said. "They do ask things in their roundabout way. And it’s not easy for Tanika, having the three women separated." The Marlow Murder Club is coming to U&Drama on Wednesday 18 March 2026.

description: The Dune and Silo star plays the mysterious Kaulo in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
encoded: Rebecca Ferguson has spoken about her approach to her intimate scenes in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. The Swedish actress, known for her roles in the Dune and Mission: Impossible series, joins the franchise for the feature film outing, playing the mysterious Kaulo Chirklo, the identical twin sister of Tommy Shelby's former lover, Zelda, with whom he sired his eldest son, Erasmus "Duke" Shelby (Barry Keoghan). The film sees Tommy (Cillian Murphy) and Kaulo get very up close and personal, but with a rather interesting twist - but we won't spoil more here... Speaking about working with intimacy coordinators, Ferguson told Michael Hodges in the upcoming issue of Radio Times magazine: "I think it’s wonderful that we can have intimacy coordinators and sometimes they are needed, but for me, it’s very off-putting and it makes me feel very uncomfortable because I have enormous boundaries and I can verbalise them. "So we could sit down and say, what do you need to feel safe? What do I need to feel safe? And then she could step out of the scene." Speaking about how she approached the scene with Murphy, Ferguson continued: "I had called Cillian and asked him how he wanted to work. It sounds so silly, but I said, 'I’ve studied your sex scenes…' And he went, 'That’s really weird and awkward.' And I went, 'I know, but bear with me. This is not just a regular sex scene. This is not us getting our kit off, getting on with it, bish bash bosh. This is a moment of release. This is a moment of intimacy, there’s magic.'"

description: Children No More spotlights vigils held in Israel for the innocent children killed by the ongoing attacks in Gaza – we spoke exclusively to its director Hilla Medalia.
encoded: The attentions of most film fans at this evening's 98th Academy Awards will be primarily focused on the much talked about races for best picture and the major acting prizes – with many of cinema's biggest stars competing for those top honours at the glittering ceremony in LA. But as ever, the less heralded categories are stuffed with films and filmmakers every bit as worthwhile and deserving. The best documentary short category, for example, includes five intensely affecting pieces of work which each shine a light on issues and topics a world away from the glitz and glam of a Hollywood awards show. One of those nominated films is Children No More, a short by director Hilla Medalia which spotlights a group of activists in Tel Aviv taking a stand against the actions of the Israeli government and armed forces in Gaza. The poignant film – which is available on Sky and NOW for UK viewers – follows the group as they stage a number of silent vigils, in which they protest against the ongoing bloodshed by honouring the memory of the thousands of children killed by their nation's military campaign. Ahead of the Oscars, Medalia spoke exclusively to Radio Times about the origins of the film and its production process, what she learned from the activists, and the importance of cinema as a political tool – especially when it comes to atrocities. Radio Times: How did you become aware of these vigils and why did you want to shine a spotlight on them? Hilla Medalia: For a very long time, I was thinking, what is the story I want to tell? I live in Tel Aviv and I think, as a documentary filmmaker, we have a lot of responsibility. I kept thinking, what is the story I want to tell? What do I want to do? And when I experienced the vigil for the first time, I was so moved by the silence. It's almost like this quiet was stronger than any scream, and I really connected to it. It affected me so much and the bravery of those activists who put themselves out, saying what they have to say in th…

description: A peek behind the curtain of what goes into crafting the casts of some of your favourite shows and films.
encoded: When it comes to awards season – and especially this weekend's Oscars – the usual conversations are ones centred around the somewhat predictable awards race, which movie will bag best picture, what films may be snubbed completely and often, the directors and casts that brought these staggering tales to life. While many take to the stage to receive their accolades making poignant speeches about their film's subject matters, how long and arduous the process was and the amazing crew of people who were a part of that process, it's hard to fit in all of the vital people in any filmmaking process into the Oscars' short 45-second acceptance speech. More often than not, whether you're an avid cinephile or just a casual movie consumer, then it's an unfortunate circumstance that many of us only ever think about a film or TV show's leads, the standout supporting stars, the director and maybe its writer. For all of that hard work done by so many people, there's nowhere near enough recognition for all the moving cogs of any production's well-oiled machine. Well, things are slowly changing. For the first time ever, the Oscars are venturing into the world of casting and have established a brand new category for best casting at this year's 98th ceremony. The news was announced back in 2024, marking the introduction of a brand new awards category, the first since best animated feature film was introduced in 2001. Being nominated for their casting efforts in a monumental first for the Academy Awards are Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, Sinners and The Secret Agent. But the Oscars have been slightly slow on the casting pick-up. The BAFTAs introduced their casting award in 2020, the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) in 2017 and the Primetime Emmys actually paved the way by recognising casting all the way back in 1991. For all of the ensembles with such natural chemistry, the leads that take to material like a duck to water and rising stars that have seemingly been …

The Other Bennet Sister's Ella Bruccoleri on stepping into Austen's world and stepping away from Call the Midwife

description: The Other Bennet Sister star talks about stepping into a lead role for the first time, discovering Austen late, and moving on from Call the Midwife.
encoded: “I love doing something different every few months.” That makes Mary Bennet, lead in the BBC’s 10-part drama The Other Bennet Sister an interesting move for actress Ella Bruccoleri. Nebbish, bookish, and, at least outwardly, pious, the middle sister of Pride and Prejudice’s Bennet doesn’t have change in her bones. You’d be forgiven for thinking that piety comes naturally to Bruccoleri, who was brought up Roman Catholic but tells Radio Times she’s now agnostic. She’ll be familiar to many as Sister Frances in Call the Midwife, others might have recognised her in a small role as Sister Rosita in Paddington in Peru. Those roles don’t find her because of her upbringing, however. “I just have this kind of nun-like face!” she says. “I maybe find it more difficult to play pious characters than would be expected because I've broken away from [Catholicism], and maybe I feel a bit of guilt because my family is still very Catholic,” she continues. “It would feel easier maybe to play a role that's more cynical of, or being worn down by, organised religion.” Appropriately, Mary Bennet’s relationship with religion is hard to decipher, even as the BBC’s adaptation of Janice Hadlow’s novel of the same name expands her beyond Pride and Prejudice. It grants Mary a complexity lacking in other adaptations but for Bruccoleri, in her first lead role, it was a new experience. “I was filming every day, sometimes six days a week, for four months,” she says. “It tested my stamina in ways that I’d never experienced.” For which, she suggests, Call the Midwife was the perfect training ground.

Invincible boss teases season 4’s "completely original" story in major change from comics

description: Clancy Brown's demon detective is back.
encoded: Along with the Viltrumite War arc and the long-awaited debut of Dinosaurus, Invincible season 4 will see the return of a character in a change from the comics that's 'completely original to the show'. In preparation for the big reveal, series co-showrunners and executive producers Robert Kirkman and Simon Racioppa, have given us a tease about its great importance. In season 1 of Invincible, demon detective Damien Darkblood was part of the show’s initial storyline about investigating Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson) as the prime suspect for murdering the Guardians of the Globe. His part in the television adaptation ended a bit differently compared to the comics. In the show, Cecil sent him back to Hell to stop him from interfering with his own plans; originally, Darkblood was more of a gag character in the comics, and naturally disappeared from the story once Omni-Man's guilt was revealed. View Green Video on the source website Years after a slight tease during a post-credits scene of his final season 1 episode, and confirmation with a new scene at the end of season 3 where he speaks to Satan, Damien Darkblood will be making his Invincible return in season 4 — via a new storyline that’s completely original to the show. As gathered from snippets of Invincible’s season 4 trailers so far, Darkblood’s new story seems to be set in Hell — it appears that we'll see him don intimidating armour to take on a powerful enemy, and pull Mark Grayson into the fray. When asking Kirkman and Racioppa about how this will affect and fit in with the Viltrumite War Arc — the main plot of season 4 — both were keen to share that this wasn’t skippable content, and is still important to the show, both for comic fans and those who only know Invincible through the series. "We always change things and enhance things and lengthen stories and shorten stories, so there’s a lot of big differences in this show. But to have something that's completely original and completely new, you know, hasn't happened a l…

encoded: *Warning - contains spoilers for The Capture episodes 1-2.* The second episode of The Capture season 3 is now available to stream on BBC iPlayer, and it picks up after that huge episode 1 cliffhanger, which saw Rachel Carey come face to face with the man she saw kill Isaac Turner. The man is question is Noah Pierson, the new Commander of Counter Terrorism Command and Carey's boss. In episode 2 she pleads with her colleagues to believe her when she says he was the shooter, but they are naturally sceptical. Instead, they are continuing to try and hunt down James Whitlock, who was caught on camera committing the attack. But what is the truth? Carey's certainty leads her to send Pierson for advanced vetting, while the end of episode 2 saw her enlist Frank Napier to essentially kidnap him. The Capture creator Ben Chanan spoke with Radio Times exclusively about Carey's decisions in episode 2, which seemed erratic to her colleagues and, seemingly, to Pierson, who gave no signs of hiding his true nature. Chanan said: "We want to make it as hard for Carey as possible to actually arrest this person, because how could he possibly have done it? Why would he possibly do it?" He continued: "I think most of us would have questioned ourselves much quicker than she does, she’s someone who believes her own mind very clear, she's very, very headstrong. I think I, and probably most people, would almost instantly go, 'Oh, he just looks like the person, he can’t actually be the person because that doesn’t make any sense'. "I think we sort of autocorrect those feelings quite quickly, because they seem preposterous. But Carey is different to us, and she's so adamant that she's right all the time. Is that a flaw or is she right?" Noah Pierson is played by Killian Scott, while Holliday Grainger and Ron Perlman have returned as Rachel Carey and Frank Napier from seasons 1 and 2. Paapa Essiedu also returned as Isaac Turner, although his stint in this season was tragically short lived. Now begi…

description: "I got to write Mary's mum and Mary's sisters, so they're slightly different to Lizzie's experience of that same family."
encoded: New BBC series The Other Bennet Sister, the first five episodes of which are available now, focuses on characters viewers might think they know, but from an angle they most likely don't. That's because it tells the story of Mary Bennet, the oft-forgotten Bennet sister from Pride & Prejudice who is played by Ella Bruccoleri. This means that viewers get to see a different side to some of the most famous characters in literature, with Ruth Jones playing a version of Mrs Bennet that writer Sarah Quintrell has teased is "brutal". Speaking with us exclusively for our video interview series The Radio Times Writers' Room, in which we get to know what makes screenwriters tick, Quintrell spoke about the cast of the series, saying casting director Kahleen Crawford and her team "have done the most incredible job". She said: "Not only are they brilliant, the cast – I mean, I don't even know where I would be in my life without Ella Bruccoleri – but they're also the most unfussy, hard working, just gorgeous, fun people to be around. "We would sit under a little tent having our lunch together outside Longbourn, and everyone was sort of mucking in, and we just had a brilliant time. We all sort of fell in love over that period. When we were casting it, you become so close to the characters when you're writing them. Mary was really, really important to me, and I loved her dearly. And the casting was like, ‘Oh gosh.’ "And Ella walked in the room, I think she'd been on tape a couple of times, she came in for a final recall, and I was in the room, and it was just like, ‘Oh, there she is.’ And I felt so incredibly blessed to have found someone who got the range, who got the humour, who got the tone. She took things beyond anything that I'd imagined." View Green Video on the source website Quintrell continued: "And Ruth Jones! I mean, when Ruth came in… And honestly, her Mrs Bennet is just a delight to watch – so funny, so brutal and brilliant. And I suppose I'm lucky, I got to write Mary'…

Peaky Blinders icon Cillian Murphy: "I do believe in generational trauma, I also believe it can be stopped"

description: Cillian Murphy takes the reins for the Peaky Blinders feature film. But what’s the appeal of playing an antihero – and is this the end of Tommy Shelby?
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. Tommy Shelby has been in our heads for 13 years, but even longer in Cillian Murphy’s. British TV viewers first encountered the Birmingham gangster in September 2013, when he rode a black stallion through the streets of 1919 Small Heath. For Murphy, presently sitting opposite me in a London hotel suite, the introduction came months before that, when he first opened Steven Knight’s script and realised Shelby was a part in a million. “I could tell that it was special,” says Murphy, a glossy amalgam of expensively barbered hair and radiant skin that belies his 49 years. “I read the opening sequence where he rides into Birmingham. That wordless, western style, it was instantly iconic, if that’s not an oxymoron. So bold and so confident. I knew I wanted to do it.” Murphy compares Peaky Blinders to a motorbike ride where, “Tommy Shelby is driving the motorbike and I’m in the sidecar going, ‘OK man, I trust you,’ and then he’s off. Very quickly I became the passenger and he became the driver.” Is it usual to be taken over like that? “I’ve never had it with any other character,” he admits. “You give yourself up to it. Something happens, some exchange of atoms. I couldn’t just put his flat cap on and step into it; every time we’d do a series it would be, ‘OK, three months of prep and then getting back into it. I don’t know how I’m going to do that again.’ But then you do it, you’re in the groove and every time Tommy became more a part of me. It’s a strange experience.” And now, perhaps, it is coming to an end. “Steve and I explored how you bring this thing to a conclusion,” Murphy says of the discussions the two men had before The Immortal Man, the Knight-scripted Peaky Blinders feature film, which Murphy stars in and co-produces. “We have a weird symbiotic thing. Steve is preternaturally gifted. If you throw an idea at him, he throws it back infinitely better.” Can that be a little annoying? “No, it’s wonderful!” Read More…

description: Dyer takes on a different kind of role in One Last Deal.
encoded: While Danny Dyer has more recently been seen in the likes of Rivals, Mr Bigstuff and fronting a brand new series with his daughter, the former EastEnders star is taking on a new kind of role in the upcoming film, One Last Deal. The one-man film sees Dyer take centre stage as football agent Jimmy Banks, who is trying to secure one last big payday for a superstar client. The problem is that the client in question is waiting on a verdict from an ongoing rape trial, and so, the football club won't sign the deal if it all goes wrong. Dyer's character Banks is intent on securing some kind of major deal as the film unfolds, but he is also contending with various other stresses from his life and an unwelcome unknown caller who is threatening to upend his life. The film is very much all on Dyer's shoulders as it remains in Jimmy's office, with us seeing him getting progressively more stressed, dishevelled and drunk as the movie goes on. It was an experience that was riddled with anxiety for the Football Factory star, with Dyer telling Radio Times of being the sole focal point of One Last Deal: "Well, I had a lot of anxiety while doing it, because I think I was so... quite method in the character. So I'd say the last day [was my favourite]. And that's just because of going, 'Oh, I think I've nearly done this'. "There's a point halfway through, and I'm so tired and just thinking, 'This is so hard'. It's like, there's no respite. You go and have a bit of lunch, have a scene off and then you're back on, like you do usually." View oEmbed on the source website He added: "So, it was all from the beginning to the end of every day. I mean, every single shot. So it was just about staying switched on and trying to stay truthful forever. Because the more tired you get, sometimes it can take you... you know, the performance drops slightly."

description: Reminders of Him is Colleen Hoover's third adaptation in two years – and the bestselling author isn't slowing down any time soon.
encoded: Unless you've been living under a cultural rock for the last decade, chances are you've heard the name Colleen Hoover. The bestselling author is behind a large catalogue of beloved novels, which have sold more than 20 million books. Her massive surge in popularity primarily came from the BookTok community on TikTok, where her most popular novel, It Ends With Us, found itself a particularly devoted following. Two years ago, that book was the first of Hoover's to transition to the big screen – in a film starring Blake Lively and Brandon Sklenar. Since then, several more of Hoover's novels have been picked up by Hollywood studios, including last year's Regretting You, starring Allison Williams, Dave Franco and McKenna Grace, as well as the upcoming Verity, which is set to premiere later this year and will star Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway, alongside Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett. Out of all of Hoover's adaptations so far, however, it is the most recent, Reminders of Him, in which she has had the most direct involvement. Acting as an executive producer on the film, Hoover was present on set throughout filming, and was thus able to watch the cast bring her beloved characters to life while also giving her input on different aspects of the film. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times, Hoover explained that being so present on the Reminders of Him set changed her approach to adapting her own work to the big screen, and remarked that it completely remodelled the way she sees filmmaking. "Oh man, this one was completely different," she said, "Like, I actually got to be on set for this one the whole time, and in pre-production. And we'd be in the editing room. It was a whole different experience. "And just being able to see it all come to life, and the hard work that goes into it. I don't think I'll ever look at filmmaking the same way again." Reminders of Him stars Maika Monroe in the lead role as Kenna Rowan, a woman recently released from prison who returns home to c…

description: In recent years, Oscars best picture line-ups have been notably more international.
encoded: One of the most notable trends at the Oscars in recent years has been the Academy's growing recognition of international cinema in the major categories – with films from across the globe having featured in most of the recent best picture line-ups. Once almost exclusively the domain of English-language cinema, the last few years have seen films from South Korea, Japan, Germany, France, Norway and Brazil all competing for the top prize – with the latter two nations included in this year's impressive shortlist. The Brazilian movie in question – the second in two years to feature after I'm Still Here last time out – is Kleber Mendonça Filho's terrific The Secret Agent, which stars Wagner Moura as a man on the run during the time of the South American country's brutal military dictatorship. It's a superb film – perhaps even the best of all the nominees – and speaking to Radio Times last month, Moura explained how the Academy's embrace of international cinema was something that he very much welcomed. "[There's] so much to talk about," he began. "I think it's great that... you know, some of the best films that I saw this year were international. Sentimental Value, It was Just an Accident, Sirât. I think those films are some of the best films of the year. He added that since Bong Joon-ho's Parasite won best picture in 2020 he had seen audiences become much more open to the idea of watching film and TV with subtitles. "When we did Narcos, for example, that was only 10 years ago [and] we would ask ourselves, 'Oh, would Americans read subtitles? I don't think they will, I don't think they're used to that,'" he recalled. "And now it’s a given, right? Like, people read subtitles and they see international and I think that's great." Moura went on to explain how he had grown up watching American, English and French films and outlined why it could only be a good thing for viewing habits across the globe to become more international.

encoded: While The Marlow Murder Club primarily focuses on the various cases the leading trio investigate, we have over the first two seasons delved more into their personal lives. The end of season 2 saw Samantha Bond's Judith meet Hugh Quarshie's Professor Darius Gifford, and sparks appeared to fly between the two of them. Now, with Quarshie returning for season 3, Bond has told Radio Times exclusively that we will see their romance "developing" – however, it will be doing so "slowly and cautiously". "Judith hadn't had anything romantic in her life for many years," Bond said. "So, she's cautious. She does engage him to help her, however. So he's quite cunning at being a sleuth of his own, as it were." This season will also feature a particularly personal story for Cara Horgan's Becks, as she finds herself the suspect in an investigation when a murder takes place at her university reunion. Speaking about the storyline, Suzie star Jo Martin told us that her character and Judith "never for one minute" believe that Becks is guilty. "We hold fast, and it gives us that kind of impetus to work even harder to prove our friend’s innocence – hopefully," she said. "But how we play out is that, 'No, she could never.' "And obviously, there's a scene where they take her lanyard from her – and our lanyard is our status, it’s used to get into places – and suddenly we're told we can't talk with her, which really is awful. But do we listen to them? I don't know. And that's a really interesting journey to go on. "Because up front we’re all like 'No, no, no, no', but every so often something happens, you go, 'Could she? No, no, no, no, it’s Becks, there's no way. There is absolutely no way.' But it does test the friendship and if anything, makes us even stronger."

description: Aaron Paul won't be returning as Powerplex.
encoded: Season 4 of Invincible is once again set to up the ante with the start of the Viltrumite War saga and its other unique stories, adapted from the comics. But one major change is coming in the shape of Aaron Paul, who won’t be rejoining the show as Powerplex — and the franchise’s creator has given us a bit more insight behind it all. Voiced by the Breaking Bad actor since the character's debut, Powerplex (aka Scott Duvall) was one of the show's most tragic figures. After being on a war path of revenge against Mark Grayson’s Invincible for the deaths of his sister and niece, Powerplex ends up going too far with his electrical powers against the hero, and accidentally kills his wife and infant child as well. Powerplex had lines in episodes spread throughout the rest of season 3, and it was initially assumed Aaron Paul would be back to voice the character in season 4 of Invincible, if the villain was returning. However, Paul revealed in a late 2025 episode of the Kinda Funny Gamescast that although he was asked to come back for season 4, he declined the offer due to playing the character being "just way too grueling on [his] psyche". He even added that, due to the actor’s dedicated approach to the character, being Powerplex was a "skin [he] didn’t feel comfortable in". View Green Video on the source website When Radio Times asked Invincible co-showrunners and executive producers, Robert Kirkman (also Invincible’s creator) and Simon Racioppa, if they were surprised about Paul’s departure, they suggested that the actor declined to return based on logistics. Kirkman said: "Animation is a different animal. In live action, a lot of times, you have to change how things are written to expand roles and things to maintain having an actor stay on for a role. "In animation, there’s a little bit more freedom in following the actual story." Continuing, he added: "I think that if you look at the Powerplex character, he's still present, and he, you know, pops up from time to time, but …

description: Jones plays Mrs Bennet in the new BBC drama.
encoded: New BBC period drama The Other Bennet Sister may be based on a recent novel by Janice Hadlow, but that itself follows a character from classic literature – Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. The 10-part series follows the "overlooked" character of Mary Bennet, played by Call the Midwife's Ella Bruccoleri, while other characters from the novel are also featured, including Mary's mother Mrs Bennet, who is played by Ruth Jones. The Gavin & Stacey star and creator recently spoke with Radio Times exclusively, alongside Bruccoleri, and revealed that she was actually a "a late-comer" to Austen as a novelist. "I didn't read Pride & Prejudice till I was in my 30s," she explained, "and my initial take on it was that I didn't really respond to it, because I just thought, when I was reading the first 10, 15 pages, I thought, 'What's all the fuss about?' And then something just clicked. And I thought, 'This writing is superb. It's a brilliant observation of human psychology.' Jones continued: "So that was my introduction to Pride & Prejudice. But I had actually done a film version of Emma, where Gwyneth Paltrow played the lead. I was the Bates's maid, so I was working with Sophie Thompson and her mother, and I was playing their servant. I'd worked with Sophie at the RSC, so I felt very comfortable and I was really excited to be there." "I think it was my first film role," Jones said. "And I had two lines, I think I said something like, 'Please come in,' and then said to the Bates's, 'Miss Woodhouse is here.' And then I had to show her in. And then Gwyneth Paltrow cut 50 per cent of my lines. 'Does she really need to say that?' I wanted to die. "And it's made me, since then, if I'm in something or if I've written something, I just know how important it is when somebody's got one line. So, again, Emma I thought was a fantastic piece of writing. I didn't read the book, I will admit, because it was quite dense and long." Jones may have had a bad early experience with Austen adaptation…

description: Believe Me focuses on the victims of John Worboys, who was dubbed the 'black cab rapist'.
encoded: ITV new true crime drama Believe Me is on the way, and Radio Times has got an exclusive first look at some of its central stars in character. The four-part series tells the true story surrounding John Worboys, dubbed the 'black cab rapist' after preying on women under the cover of being a licensed taxi-cab driver. He was convicted in 2009 for crimes including sexual assault and drugging with intent against 12 women between 2006 and 2008, with their cases selected from a large number of suspected further victims. The series tells the story of how the victims of Worboys were failed by the system, with a particular focus on two individuals, Sarah (Aimée-Ffion Edwards) and Laila (Aasiya Shah). Both Edwards (Slow Horses, Peaky Blinders) and Shah (The Beast Must Die) are seen in the first-look images, as is Miriam Petche (Industry) who plays Carrie Symonds, now Carrie Johnson, the wife of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Not seen in the images yet is Daniel Mays (A Thousand Blows, Line of Duty), who takes the role of Worboys in the drama written by Jeff Pope (The Reckoning). The series will show how the Metropolitan Police failed to thoroughly investigate the allegations of victims, leading them to feel that they were just not believed. The synopsis for the series says that it will "relate how the Met’s failings effectively left Worboys free to commit assaults undetected for many years; following his trial came the realisation that he was linked to allegations of further sexual offences against over a hundred women." Sarah and Laila will be seen joining forces with solicitor Harriet Wistrich, played by Philippa Dunne and barrister Phillippa Kaufmann QC, played by Rachael Stirling, to sue the Metropolitan Police under the Human Rights Act for their failure to properly conduct investigations into their allegations of sexual assault. They won this case and also won an appeal which went to the Supreme Court, but later had to fight to keep Worboys behind bars at his first …

description: Reminders of Him was a reminder of previous TV roles for Bradley Whitford.
encoded: In a delightful crossover of fandoms, Bradley Whitford has reunited with his former co-star and Gilmore Girls legend Lauren Graham in an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel Reminders of Him. The actors had the “incredibly painful” challenge of playing Grace and Patrick, the parents of a 23-year-old man, Scotty (Rudy Pankow), who dies in a car crash on his birthday. His girlfriend Kenna (Maika Monroe), who was driving the car, lives on, but is sentenced to seven years in prison. While she serves her time, Grace and Patrick are left to raise Kenna and Scotty’s daughter, their granddaughter, Diem. The heavy subject matter was made easier for Whitford by working alongside Graham, as the duo have known each other for over 25 years, often bumping into each other while performing their career-defining roles in the early 2000s. “I go so far back with Lauren,” Whitford tells Radio Times. “When The West Wing started, she was shooting Gilmore Girls, and they were both notoriously difficult shows to shoot. You would shoot late into the early morning. “I just remember a couple of times memorising lines on the Warner Brothers lot and bumping into her, and she's memorising lines on the lot. This was a quarter century ago. “She was on Studio 60, and I got to work with her again,” he adds. “She’s just a notoriously lovely human being who I think is a great actor, and I was thrilled that she was doing it.” <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/03/reminders-of-him-tyriq-withers-lauren-graham-489bb27.jpg" width="1200" height="800" alt="Tyriq Withers as Ledger Ward and Lauren Graham as Grace Landry in Reminders of Him, walking across grass and smiling, with a child on Ledger's back." title="Tyriq Withers as Ledger Ward and Lauren Graham as Grace Landry in Reminders of Him" /> Whitford admits that while Hoover’s books or the “young, hot romance” is not his “go-to genre, because I’m old”, he was “blown away” by Reminders of Him, which he read just befo…

description: "I think the best parts did make the film."
encoded: As with all literary adaptations, some deviation from the source material is practically inevitable – for better or for worse. Only last month, the response to Emerald Fennell's take on Wuthering Heights proved how quickly straying from the source can provoke some serious discourse among fans of the original text. Reminders of Him, the new romantic drama set for release this week, has been adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by wildly popular author Colleen Hoover. The book is one of Hoover's most beloved, having sold over 6 million copies in the US alone. The film marks the third adaptation of her literary canon, with a fourth, Verity, set to debut in October later this year. The story follows Kenna (played by Longlegs's Maika Monroe), who has just been released from prison following a traumatic incident. Upon her return, Kenna sets out on a path towards forgiveness, while also trying to reconnect with her daughter, Diem (Zoe Kosovic), who she has never met, and navigating a budding relationship with Ledger (Tyriq Withers), a local bar owner with ties of his own to Kenna's past. While Reminders of Him is certainly a faithful adaptation of the source material – as Monroe previously told Radio Times when the film's trailer was released, "My gut is that the fans will be happy" – the very nature of adapting a film from a book meant that some things had to be tweaked, specifically in the way the relationship between Kenna and Ledger initially unfolds. When speaking exclusively to Radio Times, leads Monroe and Withers discussed adapting the book from its source, and the tweaks that had to be made. "I think that the superpower of book-to-screen adaptations is not really holding on tight to everything," said Withers, "And knowing that the best parts did make the screen. And when you're making a different form of media, you can't get every detail from the book." "But yeah, I think the best parts did make the film," he added. Monroe has long been vocal about…

Twisted Yoga follows ex-members of a global network of tantric yoga camps who went from searching for wellness and community to fearing they had joined a cult. It centres on the personal experiences of those who attended the schools while also examining accusations against the movement’s founder, Gregorian Bivolaru. Bivolaru was charged in France in 2023 with human trafficking, organised kidnapping, rape and organised abuse of weakness by a sect – he has denied the charges against him and is currently awaiting trial. In the minute-long exclusive clip, which you can watch above, we see one of the women who has chosen to speak out about her time at one of the schools. Ashleigh reflects on a moment of disorientation, caught between her instincts and her reality. Isolated and without resources, she describes the overwhelming feeling of no longer being able to trust herself or those around her. But "something snapped", she says. She sits in a dark room as she explains that she was so indoctrinated in the movement that she didn't initially understand she could ever leave. "That was when I first had the thought, 'Maybe I could leave.' But before that, that thought was too crazy. I wouldn't have thought to do that," she says. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/03/Untitled-design-4-ca7a161.jpg" width="3000" height="2000" alt="A promotional picture for a TV show featuring the Apple TV logo on the right hand side with the show's name Twisted Yoga underneath.

That is because, in the second case of the new run, Becks will find herself a suspect, when a murder takes place at a university reunion she is attending in an eerie manor house. Judith and Suzie stars Samantha Bond and Jo Martin both spoke with Radio Times exclusively about this storyline, and Bond said that while neither of Becks's partners in crime-solving suspect actually question her innocence, "they do have to suspect her". "It also means, because she's on the inside of the investigation and they're on the outside, there's a conflict of, what can they ask?", Bond said. "They do ask things in their roundabout way. And it’s not easy for Tanika, having the three women separated." Meanwhile, Jo Martin said that the trio are rock solid, and that she thinks they "never for one minute believe that she's guilty of anything when things start looking a little murky". She explained: "We hold fast, and it gives us that kind of impetus to work even harder to prove our friend’s innocence - hopefully. But how we play out is that, 'No, she could never.'

As Ellis (Sharon D Clarke) and Harper (Andrew Gower) get closer to the truth, it becomes all too clear that DS Malcolm Oliver (John Hollingworth) isn't just a well-meaning fellow police officer that's helping them on the case – but is the perpetrator himself. It's quite the twist but is it one that Gower himself saw coming? When chatting exclusively to Radio Times about the tense final moments of the episode, Gower said: "No [I didn’t see it coming]. I think what’s great is that it makes the viewer, the next time you go into a case – time passes between these cases often – but it really does fuel the trust of the forces that we go into. "I know you should always suspect everybody in a police episode but when you’re getting assistance from fellow detectives, you don’t expect that. So no, it wasn’t something I expected. Again, just great, nuanced writing and the fact that he, John Hollingworth’s character, is caught up in the local community, it shows those complications of police corruption, of childhood trauma as well. To combine those two worlds is a really exciting palette to make a TV show." The scene also shows things getting quite physical as Harper quite literally takes down Oliver. How was it doing something quite different for Ellis? "I don’t know whether it’s for comedy or to make Harper look a bit more kickass but yeah, it’s great," Gower told Radio Times. "We’ve got an amazing stunt team and they seem to be testing Harper’s stunt moves. Whether it’s jumping over bonnets or taking somebody down with a fire extinguisher, it’s great. It’s nice when that stuff pops up in the script because you get to work physically as an actor, as well as all the verbal stuff that we deliver, the police jargon. It’…

"My main preoccupation at the moment is the Call the Midwife prequel and film, but it will be nice to have something different in the mix." Still, Thomas said she "passionately enjoy[s] historic storytelling" – though, she added wryly, the latest season of Call the Midwife is set in the 1970s, "which I remember".

As we look to pad out our future backlogs (frontlogs?), the Future Games Show Spring Showcase, taking place this week, will certainly help. As ever, the show is being hosted by a star-studded duo from the world of gaming, and we took the chance to speak to this year's masters of ceremonies Lae'zel and Clea actor Devora Wilde, and the upcoming star of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Shai Matheson. "[It's] exciting! There are many exciting acts that have come before us," Devora said, on hosting the event. "But none as good as this one!" Shai chimes in, "This double act here, we're gonna take it on the road as well. "A lot of our friends have done it, and it looked really fun. And we get on, we've done a few things together before." He then says, "and also, we're so in sync," pre-empting the duo trying and failing to do a bit, though they promise there will be a better bit in the actual show. As Shai mentions, it's not the first time that this duo has worked together, having played Scar and Galbrena in Wuthering Waves, and Marty and Monica in seemingly their favourite series of all, Chicken Police – "I really encourage everyone that hasn't played Chicken Police to play it," Devora declared. As actors, presenting is not in their usual wheelhouse, but Devora and Shai are more than willing to rise to the challenge. "I love presenting! I used to do a fair bit of presenting in-between acting jobs back in the day," Devora explained, "and I really like it, because I feel like it's a nice opportunity to let your personality shine through and just to have a bit of fun rather than playing a character." She goes on to say that she would have loved to present a show that we eventually worked out was Popworld. "It's really fun," Shai added.

description: The star of Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You has the lead role in How To Make a Killing – which was inspired by classic Ealing Comedy Kind Hearts and Coronets.
encoded: After starring in Edgar Wright's high-octane reimagining of '80s classic The Running Man last year, Glen Powell is back on the big screen this week in another project that has its roots in a beloved earlier film. John Patton Ford's How to Make a Killing is inspired by Robert Hamer's classic 1949 Ealing Comedy Kind Hearts of Coronets, which famously starred Alec Guinness as eight different relatives killed by Dennis Price's vengeful aristocrat as he tried to murder his way up a line of succession. The new film reimagines the story for the modern day, with Powell taking on Price's role – here named Beckett Redfellow – alongside other key cast members including Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick and Topher Grace. And speaking to Radio Times ahead of the release, Powell explained what he loved about the way Ford had brought such a timeless tale into the present. "If you've seen [Ford's previous film] Emily the Criminal, John really has such a amazing internal engine for tone," Powell explained in an exclusive interview. "He's really, really good about navigating that kind of tonal tightrope. And this one's really tough. It's not an easy movie to pull off. And obviously, you know, he wrote it and directed it, so it's like, he gets to be the truth and the light for how this movie kind of is seen." Powell added that although he reckoned Kind Hearts and Coronets was "a great inspiration piece", he added that it was "of an era" – and thinks this new version brings it up to the modern day in an interesting manner. "I think John did a really good job of adapting and making it feel fresh and unique and fun and demented in all the best ways," he said. As with the earlier film, audiences might find themselves rooting for Powell's protagonist even as he commits blatant acts of murder, and the actor confessed that he found it interesting to dig into this paradox. "If you read a script and feel like you know how to play it. I think it's probably a bad idea," he explained. "Usually yo…

A lot has changed since BBC’s crime drama The Capture, a cyber thriller all about deepfakes, first aired in 2019, with the technology now being far more advanced and insidious. Now, the acclaimed series has returned for a long-awaited third season that kick-starts with the shocking death of fan-favourite character from season two, Isaac Turner (Paapa Essiedu). There are several shocking revelations and tragedies throughout the first few episodes that raise the stakes for Carey (Holliday Grainger), higher than ever before, with the new season taking the intensity levels up a notch or two. This is, in part, due to the fact that creator Ben Chanan admits that he prefers to write each season with the conviction that it could be "the last." "I always write each season like it might be the last, so just don't hold on to people who have got to go and you may as well enjoy offing them," Chanan tells Radio Times. "Now, what it does for Carey is like the wheels are off… when [certain characters] go, it’s like the wheels spin, she finds it discombobulating." The creator also opened up about the motive behind Isaac’s death and teased you’ll find out in "season six why it came to be" before correcting himself that he meant episode six. Though, we can all hope that was just a little slip up and the beloved series will be renewed for another season or three, perhaps. "Sorry, there’s no season six," he adds, before joking, "Ever since season one, I’ve been playing the long game. I've written season six, no, I’ve barely written season three."

description: Are Ellis and Harper going to be alright in season 2?
encoded: Throughout the first season of Ellis, Sharon D Clarke's titular character kept clasping her phone close and we eventually saw that in the final episode, she was overjoyed that her daughter Grace texted her to arrange a call. Well, in this new second season, it appears as though their mother-daughter relationship is only going from strength to strength. While it's lovely to see, it's also new ground for Ellis and Harper (Andrew Gower) to navigate. Speaking to Radio Times about the lead's changing dynamic for season 2, Gower revealed: "I think they’ve developed their language. There’s a lot said without speaking, there’s a lot of looks between them, that shorthand has become stronger. But also, I think, it's interesting that with Grace and Ellis, not that Harper sees that as a threat but ultimately, he’s gone all in. "If it was a game of poker, he’s laid out all his cards like, 'Ellis, I’m in. I’ve given up the station I know, the life I know and I’ve got my life in a suitcase and I want to be into this'." He went on: "A threat to that happening and the relationship ending is kind of the uncertainty about Grace – where’s that going to leave Ellis? And I think that’s a real clever subtle threat that [series creator] Siân [Ejiwunmi-Le Berre] and the team have put in there. It’s quite a selfish thing for Harper to do but ultimately, without Ellis, his career now doesn’t exist. "He’s got so much to learn and the experience that Ellis has – working in London and on a plethora of cases that Harper hasn’t experienced yet. It’s great to pick up where they’re comfortable with each other but there’s still that threat of ‘Is this going to be forever?’ or ‘Does Ellis need Harper as much as Harper needs Ellis?’. Which is such a great dynamic to play." Grace has, of course, always been a looming figure within Ellis's life but where season 1 had a bit of a question mark over her identity and whether she even wanted to talk to Ellis, this season that's replaced with Ellis being more …

description: What will Judith, Suzie and Becks be investigating this time around?
encoded: Samantha Bond, Jo Martin and Cara Horgan are back as the three members of the titular Marlow Murder Club, with the trio taking on a set of new cases. Bond, who plays Judith Potts, spoke exclusively with Radio Times about the show's third season, teasing what viewers can expect when it airs on U&Drama. When asked what was new this time around, Bond said that the show's appeal was in its "twists and turns" every episode, before noting that "the quality of the writing has been maintained now for three series, and one can't ask for more than that". Asked to tease the three cases that we'll see across the six new episodes, Bond said: "Well, the great thing about The Marlow Murder Club is that the murder is always at the beginning. "So storyline one, the mayor of the council gets murdered and there are all the councillors, and any one of them could have done it. And the twists and turns it takes you on are phenomenal." <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/03/marlow-murder-club-series-3-0d05069.jpg" width="3240" height="2160" alt="Becks Starling (Cara Horgan), Judith Potts (Samantha Bond) and Suzie Harris (Jo Martin) in The Marlow Murder Club, holding croquet mallets and standing next to each other on a lawn, smiling at the camera." title="Becks Starling (Cara Horgan), Judith Potts (Samantha Bond) and Suzie Harris (Jo Martin) in The Marlow Murder Club" /> She continued: "Then storyline two is the murder of a celebrity chef, and who could have done it, and why, or were they in it together? "And then the last one, which is also a wonderful story, is a university reunion for Becks and her friends. And of course, one of them gets killed. Is it one of her friends who's killed another of her friends? Or is there someone else in that house?" The Marlow Murder Club also stars Natalie Dew, Phill Langhorne, Holli Dempsey and Tijan Sarr, while Huw Quarshie also returns in season 3 having appeared as a guest star in the show's second run.

Ellis star reflects on returning to key format feature for season 2: "It’s what makes us unique"

description: The 5 detective drama returns to our screens this week.
encoded: With just three episodes making up Ellis's first season, the 5 detective drama is now back for more with season 2. As well as the show digging into some more grisly cases, the format of Ellis remains the same as we follow the titular detective (Sharon D Clarke) and DS Harper (Andrew Gower) as they continue to make their way around the country for new investigations. That cross-country element to the series has always been an important part of the job for actors Clarke and Gower, being something they were keen to continue in the show's second outing. Thankfully, that format has remained intact and it's been an "amazing" element to return to, Gower told Radio Times. In an exclusive chat ahead of the release of season 2, Gower reflected on the show continuing to showcase lesser-known pockets of the UK. He said: "That was a big appeal for us signing onto the project so to stay true to what makes Ellis unique, that sort of stuff is what makes the show unique. "I think season 1 is always establishing the show anyway so to build from that, to make it more cinematic, make the stories darker but keep the lightness and brevity to it that makes the show unique … obviously with Sharon D Clarke at the helm, it’s always going to be unique in its sense." He added: "But ultimately, I think, it’s always great when you get a second series, to build on what was good about the show. That was why we signed on and that is where we want to keep going with it." Now, fans will be treated to a four-part run of season 2 episodes, which will see Ellis and Harper once again back on the road and looking into all things related to local communities, crime and more. With the first season landing on screens in 2024, fans haven't had to wait too long for new cases and episodes. But it's safe to say that the first batch of episodes went down a treat with viewers, who clearly enjoyed Ellis enough for it to be renewed for season 2.
