It’s only been a few weeks since Grantchester Season 8 premiered on PBS, but the show’s cast is already looking ahead to season 9.

White House Farm is a dramatisation of the Jeremy Bamber story, a horrible case that saw the killing of five members of the same family including two children. The show came to ITV in 2020 in week by week episodes and has now arrived on Netflix in a full boxset. It’s a compelling look at what happened in 1985 at a remote farmhouse and the man who was convicted of the murders, as well as the dogged cop who wouldn’t settle for the obvious answer despite the negative impact it had on his career.
While elements of the story are fictionalised it’s a series which tries to capture the essence of the main players as well as the backdrop in 80s Britain which might have hampered justice being done. While parochial compared to massive scale Netflix docs like The Night Stalker: Hunt for a Serial Killer, this is still...

"You must stay where you are for as long as you can." Good Deed Entertainment has released a brand new official Us trailer for the Wwi drama titled Journey's End, from director Saul Dibb, which first premiered at the Toronto and London Film Festivals last year. The film is based on a seminal British play about Wwi, set mostly in a dugout in Aisne, France in 1918. The story is about a group of ragged British officers, led by the mentally disintegrating young officer Stanhope, who are awaiting their fate in this wretched place. The three officers are played by Paul Bettany, Stephen Graham, and Tom Sturridge, and the cast includes Sam Claflin as a Captain, plus Asa Butterfield as a young new officer; as well as Toby Jones, Robert Glenister, Oliver Dimsdale, and Miles Jupp. This looks like a thoroughly harrowing Wwi drama with some intense, gritty war scenes.

"We won't last five minutes if the Germans attack..." Lionsgate UK has unveiled a new trailer for a Wwi drama titled Journey's End, which just premiered at the Toronto and London Film Festivals this fall. The film is based on a seminal British play about Wwi, set mostly in a dugout in Aisne, France in 1918. The story is about a group of ragged British officers, led by the mentally disintegrating young officer Stanhope, who are awaiting their fate in this wretched place.

Opera is a form of entertainment largely performed by and for adults. Most of the better-known works deal with grown-up themes, and it takes performers years to train their voices to sing at the highest levels. With that in mind, it's hard to explain why every character in 1st Night behaves like an adolescent in a sitcom. When über-rich industrialist Sir Adam (Richard E. Grant) decides to shed his robber baron image by hosting (and co-starring in) a production of Così fan tutte at his palatial estate, the stage is set for romantic shenanigans. Will Adam finally realize his love for conductor Celia (Sarah Brightman)? What dark secret is Phillip the director (Oliver Dimsdale) hiding from undersexed wife Tamsin (Emma Williams)? Can young Tom's (Julian Ovenden) bu...
