If you’re out and about on the streets of Newcastle city centre over the next few days, don’t be surprised if you see a TV star or five. Between now and Saturday, cast members from British TV classic, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet — along with many of their North East performer pals — are gathering on …
Over the course of our children’s lives a number of ‘go to’ options have developed in our family; staple items that are guaranteed to deliver without the need for a referee or a committee. Need to knock up a quick tea? Defrost a pot of my wife’s homemade pasta sauce. Looking for an activity everyone …
On May 12 the 70th BAFTA Television Awards Ceremony will take place, and Happy Valley could cement its position as one of the greatest shows ever produced in Britain by becoming the first to win the coveted Best Drama award for the third time. If it does win, it will be a richly deserved success …
The Red King may have only just hit our screens, but a second series is already at the top of writer Toby Whithouse’s to-do list. Well, nearly at the top, once he’s finished reviving Bergerac for UKTV. In a week where it was confirmed that iconic ITV detective, Vera will be hanging up her hat …

As a fan of eighties movies and murder mysteries, I would probably have watched and enjoyed Only Murders In The Building, the US comedy-drama co-created by and starring Steve Martin, even if it wasn’t absolutely brilliant.
