"My Eurovision is Impaired!" With Eurovision 2025 just around the corner, it's time for the BBC and the Song for Europe team to make the right choice and select Colin the House Dalek as this year's UK entry. Here's his audition tape: #DoctorWho #Eurovision

In honour of #EastEnders 40th anniversary, here’s its first gay kiss, which sparked tabloid outrage at the time. Brace yourself, it’s a bit racy!

Perhaps this means our Eurovision entry will be revealed just after the pips on Radio 4.

A trailer during U20 Six Nations coverage has revealed #DoctorWho series two as April 12th. Pretty sure that wasn’t the plan.

Bouncer for the new James Bond

I thought #AThousandBlows and #DavidFrostVS are fantastic My latest Worth Watching newsletter: worthwatching.substack.com/p/worth-watc...

I've written about Neighbours, where I regretfully come to the conclusion that it might be the end this time. 'If Amazon can't make Neighbours work, no-one can'

A Thousand Blows, on Disney+, is absolutely fantastic and worth your time.

Paradise, on Disney+ and Hulu, has been renewed for a second season.

Neighbours cancelled for second time as Amazon backs out

SOUND THE EMERGENCY “REST IS ENTERTAINMENT” ALARM

Wow. Amazon MGM Gains Creative Control of 007 Franchise as Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson Step Back

Small, but wild, Nielsen tidbit: This Saturday, NBC aired a repeat of its January special "SNL: 50 YEARS OF MUSIC." That rerun notched 4.1M viewers. That's about 400K *more* than watched the special's Jan. 27 premiere. It also did a 0.4 A18-49 and ranked in top 10 for the week. A rerun!

well, that's one way to open a programme.

Vigil is returning for a third series, this time set on an arctic research station.

FYI: “David Frost VS” - a new documentary series on the journalist and broadcaster is worth your time. It’s out next week on Sky Documentaries.

The fire brigade in EastEnders must be like “AGAIN?!?!?!!”

grappling with imposter syndrome at the moment. it whips out the carpet from underneath you, doesn't it?

Zoe Ball is to host Saturdays 1-3pm on BBC Radio 2. Pick of the Pops is moving to Sundays 5-7pm.

"This story is incorrect, Doctor Who has not been shelved. As we have previously stated, the decision on season 3 will be made after season 2 airs. "The deal with Disney Plus was for 26 episodes – and exactly half of those still have to transmit."

A new show added to the list today.

I’m at a Channel 4 event and there’s a lot of shows being announced right now. It’s essentially a message to the industry of ‘look we’ve got money and we can make shows again.’

Breaking: Russell T Davies and Nicola Schindler are to make new Channel 4 drama ‘Tip Toe.’ It is a suburban thriller about a feud between two neighbours living in Manchester. It follows the issues facing the LGBTQ+ community today.
