8.15pm, BBC One The enjoyably quirky murder mystery comedy about retired actor John Chapel (Timothy Spall) and Welsh detective Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth) is back and John has a new goatee and girlfriend. Janie isn't too happy about him dating her mum, but they are soon reunited as an unlikely detective duo when a man doing community service is found dead at an outdoor rave site.

It's heartbreaking to share that our marriage is coming to an end. This is not the outcome I hoped for, and I entered this relationship with deep love, commitment, and the intention of building a lasting life together. As time went on, it became clear that we were growing in different directions. I poured my whole heart into this marriage and wanted it to work until the very end, but lasting marriages require more than love alone.

"Everyone in that scene has been on 'Outlander' since day one. They are part of the fabric of our show. They are the reason that it is what it is," she said. "They imbue it with their heart and soul every day." Balfe realized something when she re-watched the scene. "My new theory is that Diana (Gabaldon) is Claire, her husband Doug is Jamie, and she is living in plain sight as a time-traveler, because she doesn't age!"

Another week passes and still no news on whether Patrick Kielty will be staying on as host of The Late Late Show. His three-year contract with RTÉ, which paid him €250,000 a year, the same as director-general Kevin Bakhurst's salary, ended with the final show of the 2025/26 season on May 1.

So when they're offered lucrative deals involving generative AI, Valerie and Deborah are receptive. Their instinct to look out for themselves means that neither is particularly moved by pleas from those around her to save writers' jobs. Instead, they discover a consequence of the technology that surprises them both: AI may offer shortcuts, but it also eliminates the human collaboration that helps them produce their best possible work.

AMC+ recently announced that the 2005-2022 run of Doctor Who will be available on the streamer starting on June 11. This is huge, as those 176 episodes were completely unavailable on streaming services after they were removed from HBO Max, and it didn't seem like that would change any time soon.

Like so many episodes on this monumental season, this felt a bit like busywork, just two more boxes to check off on the way to the end. I did like the format, which was like Survivor on fast-forward - two challenges, two tribals, two eliminations - especially because they were both more straightforward than driving down a highway in Iowa corn country. The only hitch in anyone's game was when Tiffany won immunity, and then they needed an alternative plan, but other than that, it was just smart Survivor players making the safe moves.

HDMI ARC or HDMI Audio Return Channel was introduced into the HDMI specification (in this case HDMI 1.4) in 2009 with a specific purpose: simplifying and improving the experience of getting audio from your TV to a speaker. Historically, soundbars and other audio equipment have used optical cables to transfer digital audio, which meant introducing yet another cable to your TV or routing everything through a dedicated, expensive home theater receiver. ARC lets an HDMI port do the heavy lifting, eliminating the need for a separate audio cable and giving you access to the sort of high-quality audio that was previously locked behind specialized equipment.

Pedro Pascal has got the internet all in a tizzy after kissing The Late Show host Stephen Colbert. The Last of Us actor appeared on 12 May's episode of the talk show and asked for a kiss after Colbert smooched Jimmy Fallon in a recent episode during a game. Pascal pointed to his lips before Colbert leaned in and met him. "I got jealous," the actor told the host.

Aubry Bracco is, quite clearly, our season-50 winner, and she will be remembered as a very lucky one. She is a talented Survivor player by all standards, but it's hard not to see her impending victory as a bit of a disappointment. She's been dealt a fabulous hand all season, and her success doesn't seem to be through particularly great work on her part. Instead, she's ended up in the best position possible through twists. In what should be the most epic Survivor game in history, our winner has capitalized on twists she had nothing to do with choosing.

As she explains to Garrett, she was raped in high school. And while she's worked through that trauma in therapy, she hasn't been able to orgasm with a partner in the years since. Given her trusting friendship with Garrett, she proposes that they have sex to "reprogram" her body.

“It is a question of perspective and narrative. It's a very powerful thing to be given a story that gives you a hero and that makes your side good,” Mazin told The Hollywood Reporter. “That is fundamental to most religions--and it is fundamental to most politics now. It creates a tribalism. It's 'us versus them,' and it happens very, very quickly. What I loved about the story of the game, which is in line with what I am pursuing on the show, is that it is not that simple.”

Netflix picked up the rights to three more NFL contests amid government scrutiny over the migration of games from free TV to streaming. The NFL's first-ever regular season game in Melbourne, Australia, featuring the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, will stream Sept. 10 on Netflix, the company Wednesday announced at its upfront presentation in New York. Netflix will present another NFL game first on Nov. 25 with a Thanksgiving eve game between the Rams and the Green Bay Packers at SoFi Stadium.

Episode 7 packs another huge punch by eliminating one of The Boys themselves. Frenchie asks Sister Sage for help with his experiments on Kimiko. Amazon Prime Video Episode 7 juggles all sorts of storylines, including Samuel L. Jackson lending his voice to a shark, Daveed Diggs demonstrating why he has a Tony award by singing as Oh Father, Homelander casually making Ashley Barrett president, and Jordan and Marie from Gen V finally proving a little useful.

Ahsoka Season 2 was once tentatively slated for a release in 2026, but that window has since been pushed back a full year. Dawson announced a new release date for the series at Disney's Upfront showcase on May 12, 2026. Per the actress, Ahsoka is slated to return "early in 2027."

Despite veering off course and setting itself firmly beyond the timeline of the games, the Fallout TV show has been one of the most resounding successes of Hollywood's current love affair with the video game adaptation. Despite complaints levied at properties such as Netflix's Devil May Cryshow or Zach Cregger's upcoming Resident Evil film for taking detours from the source material, Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet's original story set in the Fallout universe has been met with critical praise and love from the fanbase, and it has managed to do it all with a wholly new cast and a mostly original story riffing on the games.

“Romantasy” is one of those portmanteaus like “ legacyquel” or “ Barbenheimer ” that have become ubiquitous recently. Only a few years ago, you would never have heard it in day-to-day life, but now it's a necessary word that describes a very specific cultural phenomenon. In this case, the rise of romance/fantasy hybrid books quickly took over BookTok through a blend of high fantasy worldbuilding and bodice-ripping romance.

"I cost our company a lot of money this year. Billions," he joked to the advertisers in the crowd. "It is very possible that no employee in the history of any company has cost their employer more. Hiring me 24 years ago, just from a purely mathematical standpoint, was the worst personnel decision that Disney Corporation has ever made. Not even the captain of the Exxon Valdez did more damage."

The comic follows Suzie and Jon, young adults who discover they have the power to stop time when they have sex. As their budding relationship evolves, they decide to use their power to rob banks.

Nostalgia for the 1990s is real: Those who lived through the last decade of the 20th century have many reasons to reminisce about the good old days, and those who missed it might wonder if it was really as awesome as everyone says. Every '90s kid fondly remembers their family's go-to pizza chain, and it's no accident that major chains have bet big on nostalgic offerings to lure in customers.

Former Spurs bosses Thomas Frank and Ange Postecoglou will be rivals once again at the World Cup this summer. However, instead of facing one another in the dugouts, they'll be going head-to-head in competing TV studios, having both penned deals to be pundits at this summer's tournament. The first match of the USA, Canada and Mexico tournament kicks off in one month's time and both will be there to provide punditry for UK TV networks.

Peacock announced on Monday that's launching two unscripted Bravo microdramas, which will stream on its app. These are vertical video series, with episodes around 60 to 90 seconds, are designed for a quick, TikTok-like viewing experience. "Salon Confessionals with Madison LeCroy" will feature the "Southern Charm" star as she gives her clients a makeover while they tell her their most dramatic stories. "Campus Confidential: Miami" spotlights a group of college students including Georgia Gay, daughter of Heather Gay from "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City."

Lad, 29, who lives in the Lower Haight, will represent San Francisco on Season 4 of "The Great American Baking Show," which premieres May 11 on the Roku Channel. Like its British counterpart, the popular show pits highly skilled home bakers against each other as they race against the clock to craft extravagant cakes in a tent setting. The cakes are then judged by celebrity chef Paul Hollywood, as well as restaurateur, chef and writer Prue Leith; each week, a different baker is sent home.
