We don't have to waste time wondering if the Broadchurch TV show will be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season. More than a year ahead of this installment's premiere on BBC America, creator Chris Chibnall made it clear he was working toward a third and final season. We’re still tracking the Broadchurch season three ratings, for a couple of reasons. It can help predict the likelihood of a spin-off, sequel, or later revival. It also helps us gauge the chances of other BBC America shows. What's more -- it keeps us off the streets at night.

Prolific comedy actor who worked with Peter Sellers, Tony Hancock, Spike Milligan and Hattie Jacques

The stony-faced, beaky comedy actor Graham Stark, who has died aged 91, is best remembered for his appearances alongside Peter Sellers, notably in the Pink Panther movies. His familiar face and voice, on television and radio, were part of the essential furniture in the sitting room of our popular culture for more than half a century. A stalwart in the national postwar comedy boom led by Sellers, Tony Hancock, Spike Milligan, Dick Emery, Eric Sykes and Benny Hill, he worked with them all in a sort of unofficial supporting repertory company that also included Hattie Jacques, Deryck Guyler, Patricia Hayes and Arthur Mullard. He was also a man of surprising and various parts: child actor, trained dancer, film-maker, occasional writer, and dedicated and critically acclaimed photographer.

Like Gypsy Rose Lee, he had a resourceful and determined...

In Call the Midwife episode three Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine) found herself in the uncomfortable position of having to hide a male friend in the convent. The nuns, the other nurses and even one of her patients assumed that Lee had found love but she was more concerned with another man: an elderly Boer war veteran named Joe. British comedian Roy Hudd took on the role of Joe and he brought an innocent charm to the character. Lee managed to get past her phobia of the insects that infested his home and formed quite a close bond with the old man although his story was to reach a sad and somewhat predictable conclusion.

While Joe’s tale was the focal point of episode three, there was time for Chummy to flirt a little with a local bobby and for Fred to set himself...
