It's far from lucrative, but a behind-the-scenes glimpse of actors 'mastering their craft' on hit shows makes it worthwhile for the people who do it On a grey day in a remote forest, a bus pulls up and dozens of extras spill out in puffer jackets and trainers. Within an hour, they will be transformed into Norse peasants waiting for Vikings to ride into a built village. They have left their homes before dawn, and most will not be back for 10 or 12 hours.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, I was pretty grumpy about this warmhearted Christmas special. I started full of hope! Wow, a bonus episode like we get every season. We had a big finale where we all cried, but let's tack on this little bit of Christmas cheer in February. But I was not prepared for the BETRAYAL I would face at the hands of the writers and showrunners. Dorothy? We're bringing back Dorothy?

"All in the Family" was filmed in California, but Archie Bunker's house was located at 704 Hauser Street in Astoria, Queens. Unfortunately, neither the street nor the interior of that house is real. That said, some of the exterior shots were done using an actual (and still standing) house in Queens. That house is located to the southeast at 89-70 Cooper Avenue in the Glendale neighborhood. It's currently a 1,312-square-foot tourist attraction. As for what it's worth today, ballpark estimates put it at $820,000.

The NBC Saturday primetime broadcast used the figure skating exhibition gala as a way to provide a curtain call for their appointed Olympic protagonists. Of the five segments they aired from the event, four of them put Americans in the spotlight. Amber Glenn gave a fierce performance that further emphasized her comeback from a disappointing short program. Alysa Liu skated a victory lap after her instantly iconic gold medal-winning free skate.

"(JD) is older and wiser. He's got a couple of kids and he's now going to be set up to be the teacher, to be a great teacher to these young interns,"

I particularly love it when fictional characters have visibly aged. There's a broken humanity that you don't get with flawless, collagen-rich skin. You sense you could talk to them about your sciatica and they'd get it. I got that feeling with the new series of Scrubs (Disney+, from Thursday 26 February), a show I once mainlined on E4. Scrubs was as comforting as tea and toast. Surprisingly malleable, too.

What should she do, Charli wonders, now that the clock on her relevance is ticking? Even though "people are getting sick of [her]," should she "go even harder," as Kylie Jenner advises her, and continue to celebrate "brat summer forever"? Or should she stop harping on the same string and, instead, recede, regroup, and attempt to remake herself into an avatar for a new era?

Because you want it to be great, you want it to be extra great, because we're in it together and you only get a few opportunities to do that. It's going to live on forever, and you can't change it once it's out.

Let's start off by admitting something: Snatch Game has been a challenge with diminishing returns for years now. Last year's version had two good performances, in Onya and Jewels, and was otherwise a total dirge. The season before that was the same thing with Plane and Sapphira being totally good (not thrilling, though) and everyone else just trying to get by.

Tell Me Lies actor Cat Missal has confirmed that she is gay, revealing that she is currently in a relationship with a woman. The 26-year-old American actress plays Bree in hit Hulu series Tell Me Lies, which came to a close following the recently-released third season. Speaking to Teen Vogue about the show's end - the last episode aired on 17 February - Missal succinctly explained why she won't have to deal with the types of toxic men that defined Tell Me Lies.

"It was very surreal," Dave tells Bustle. "The world is shut down, and we're over Zoom talking about this book that I've spent a decade with."

When Laëtitia Hollard showed up for medical boot camp with her fellow on-screen nurses ahead of filming The Pitt Season 2, she didn't realize the show's doctors would be doing their prep on the same day. "It was literally everybody there. ... Noah [Wyle]'s leaning on his chair, squeezing a stress ball," she tells Bustle over Zoom. "It gave '80s cool-kid corner from a movie. And I was walking in like the geek with my notebook, like, 'Hi, guys!'"

We went to a restaurant the other night, and the waitress kept calling me by my name. She was like, 'Khloé, do you want another drink?' Whatever. And True was going, 'How does she know who you are?' And I go, 'Oh, I just come here all the time.' Which I don't, but they don't realize that we're on TV. Like, they don't know the difference, 'cause I'm not talking about it," she recalled on the On Purpose podcast.

"I couldn't hear her. She was walking away," she explained. "And I was like, 'Oh, she's kind of a comedy queen. She's just being funny.' Like, 'I love you. Wah, wah, wah.' Like, I thought that would be something she would do. And so I was like, 'Oh, my God, that's cute and funny.' Turns out she didn't say that."

Claudia Winkleman's new chatshow will land next month, and its enthusiast army are already excited. Winkleman herself, who doesn't come off at all breathy, said: I can't quite believe it and I'm incredibly grateful to the BBC for this amazing opportunity. Kalpna Patel-Knight, who commissioned The Claudia Winkleman Show, observed: Claudia is a true national treasure warm, witty and endlessly entertaining.

The series is set nearly 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, when dragons were still a fixture of Westeros, and chronicles the beginning of the end of House Targaryen's reign. The primary source material is Fire and Blood, a fictional history of the Targaryen kings written by George R.R. Martin. As book readers know, those events culminated in a civil war and the extinction of the dragons-at least until Daenerys Targaryen came along.
