Callum Turner has been cast in the lead role of the series adaptation of the William Gibson novel “Neuromancer” at Apple TV+, Variety has learned.

The series was originally announced in February. Per the official description, the 10-episode drama follows “a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case (Turner) who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high stakes crime with his partner Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes, aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.”

This will mark the second starring role in an Apple series for Turner. Previously, he starred in the World War II series “Masters of the Air” alongside a cast that included Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan. The show debuted on the streaming arm of the tech giant earlier this year. He has also starred in shows like “Glue” and the 2016 BBC series version of “War & Peace.” In film,...

South by Southwest has revealed a packed initial slate of showcasing artists set to perform at the 38th annual festival, taking place March 11 through 16, 2024 in Austin.

After sharing scattered singles over the past three years, Nat and Alex Wolff have set their sights on refining their skills as songwriters and performers in Table for Two, their first studio album as a duo since 2011. The album isn’t due until early 2023, but the brothers are launching their return with its Prince-inspired lead single, “All Over You.”

“I wrote this song on the piano the night before I hit the road to Europe for work,” Nat shared in a statement. “I had just fallen in love, and...

Green Man is ideal for music fans daunted by the sheer scale of Glastonbury. Combining nourishing family fun with a dynamic nightlife, it remains one of the most inclusive festivals around. There’s no hierarchy between artist and audience, so bands inevitably end up in the crowds themselves, cheering on their own favourite acts. After 20 years, organisers also know how to make use of the compact location, at the Glanusk Estate nestled among the Black Mountains in south Wales. Strong offerings of music, comedy and arts across at least eight different stages can be found within minutes of each other. Conveniently close camping sites also allow festivalgoers to dart back to their tents between sets, meaning the mood-swinging Welsh weather is no bother.

There’s a palpable sense of calm here. Walkways bordered by fiery orange montbretia and lilac verbena lead the way to green ponds, where gurgling babies paddle...

Dear whoever decides who should be recognized with awards and whatnot;

My name is Michael Davis. You’re no doubt heard of me. Depending on who you ask, you will get many different stories.

I’m sure they are all entertaining, like the one where I killed a cat for looking at me or was caught in bed with an underage nanny goat while high on Elmer’s Glue. Stories vary but are pretty much all bullshit. I’ve said for decades that…shit, never mind. What’s the point of me saying anything that proves it’s all bullshit? People like to believe rumors, and I’m a bit too old to give a fish anymore.

Since no one is talking about my contributions to the industry (except when I was thought to be dead), I’ve decided that I would.

I am the only comic book creator with...

Exclusive: In a highly competitive acquisition situation ahead of the documentary’s Tribeca Festival premiere, MSNBC Films has picked up Paper & Glue from Imagine Documentaries, Impact Partners, Time Studios, and Shark Island.

The feature is a project by acclaimed French artist Jr, whose known for giving a global voice to everyday people through a genre-blending combination of public art, photography and large format spectacle. In the docu, Jr turns the camera on his own work as he builds some of his most monumental projects. From early illicit graffiti videos captured on Paris rooftops at night, to the US-Mexico border, to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, to a current collaboration at a California supermax prison, the movie follows Jr as he turns these communities inside out, turning images of residents into eye-catching and immersive art installations. Paper & Glue follows the Oscar-nominated Faces Places, which was directed by Jr along with Agnès Varda.

Rising British singer-songwriter and actor Arlo, who signed a major recording deal earlier this year with Sony Music Entertainment’s Arista Records label, is developing a scripted television series with Lionsgate and Eleven Films, producers of Netflix hit “Sex Education.”

Eleven will produce and develop the series, which will follow a young man in East London dealing with the complex relationship between his working-class background and success in the music industry.

Arlo, repped by CAA worldwide for TV, music and film, was named one of the influential new faces in music in the U.K. newspaper The Evening Standard. The singer has garnered millions of music streams and sold out a string of headline shows in London. His recent collaboration with Grammy nominated U.S. rapper Mick Jenkins, “Changing,” was tipped by critics.

Arlo will create the show alongside writer and director Aki Omoshaybi, whose debut feature film as a writer,...

The story of the "Gorilla Glue Girl" has a happy ending, and Tessica Brown is now living just as free as her hair. In the past two weeks, the Louisiana resident has exploded on social media after she accidentally superglued her hair to her scalp. A month ago, Tessica ran out of her göt2b Glue Spray and instead used Gorilla Spray Adhesive to lock in her pony tail. She shared videos of herself trying to shampoo the glue out, but had no success after washing it 15 times. Tessica even went to the hospital, before a friend finally helped her cut her pony tail off.

Nat and Alex Wolff have released a new music video for their song “Glue.” The visual was shot at the brothers’ house in Los Angeles during Covid-19 quarantine, directed by Jack Begert (Kendrick Lamar, Dominic Fike, Lil Uzi Vert), and filmed on Super 8 and 35mm film.

Alex Wolff states that the whimsical video was “super inspired by the styles of early Beatles, but also some of the more psychedelic, colorful spirit of some more sonically experimental and exciting bands like the War on Drugs or Tame Impala.”

Bicep’s eponymous 2017 debut album offered an effective mix of soothing melody and pummeling rhythm. The electronic duo of Andrew Ferguson and Matthew McBriar had a gift for shiny, shuffling, shuddering tracks like “Glue” and “Opal,” which became modest streaming hits and sent the group on the road for two years. The duration of the tour was an impressive feat for an independent electronic act existing outside of the commercial mainstream.

But it was also a new challenge: While on the road, Ferguson and McBriar quickly discovered that, in their back catalog,...

Sony Pictures Television has acquired London-based “Sex Education” producer Eleven.

As previously reported, Sony is believed to have beaten off a number of potential buyers, and has taken a majority stake in the outfit.

The investment in Eleven marks one of the few major M&a deals to have emerged from the last four months, when much of the industry has ground to a standstill due to Covid-19. Tom Manwaring of Helion Partners advised the shareholders of Eleven Film on the transaction.

The deal forms part of a wider expansion drive for Sony Pictures Television, who also own “The Crown” producer Left Bank Pictures, and is diversifying the group’s production portfolio and growing IP. In December 2019, Sony Pictures Television expanded further into children’s programming by acquiring Silvergate Media, and broadening the group’s capability in sports and live entertainment production with the acquisition of Whisper Films in February.

Sony Pictures Television has confirmed what we revealed back in April — that it is investing in Eleven, the British production outfit behind Netflix smash hit Sex Education.

Sony has taken a majority stake in Eleven after a competitive process in which a host of potential suitors showed an interest in the producer, including All3Media. The size of the stake and financial terms were not disclosed.

In completing the takeover, Sony is buying out Channel 4’s 20% stake in Eleven. The British broadcaster first invested in the company in 2014 as part of its Indie Growth Fund initiative.

Eleven was founded by creative directors Jamie Campbell and Joel Wilson in 2006, and teen drama Sex Education has become its biggest calling card after launching last year.

Other Eleven commissions include Red Rose, a BBC Three horror created by twins Michael and Paul Clarkson, which has been picked up by Netflix in the U.

Exclusive: Maddie Baillio and Charlotte Spencer have landed the roles of the stepsisters in Sony Pictures and writer-director Kay Cannon’s Cinderella retelling. Señorita crooner Camila Cabello stars in the film along with Pierce Brosnan, Billy Porter, Idina Menzel, and Nicholas Galitzine.

The re-imagined musical comedy, which is slated to hit theaters February 5, 2021, follows an ambitious young heroine whose dreams are bigger than the world will allow.

Leo Pearlman and James Corden are producing through their Fulwell73 banner alongside Jonathan Kadin and Golden Globe winner Shannon McIntosh. Louise Rosner serves as executive producer.

Baillio played Tracy Turnblad in NBC’s Hairspray Live! starring opposite Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, and Kristin Chenoweth. Repped by Cunningham Escott Slevin & Doherty, Soffer / Namoff Entertainment, and Peikoff Mahan Law Office, she most recently appeared in Dumplin’, the Netflix film starring Jennifer Anniston and Danielle Macdonald.

Spencer is best known for roles in the BBC1 series...

It looks like the cat's out of the bag: we finally learn the truth about Rey's parents in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (again). No, they weren't mere junk traders who sold her off for drinking money, as Kylo Ren said in The Last Jedi. Nope. In a retcon move from J.J. Abrams, Rey's parents chose to be nobodies, coming from a rather elite family in a galaxy far, far away. So, of course, their brief screen time should only be occupied by top-notch talent. Here's the scoop on Rey's heritage, plus a look at the actors who play her parents: two non-nobodies named Jodie Comer and Billy Howle.

So here's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth: Rey is actually - drum roll please - a Palpatine. It's a contentious choice for sure, especially after Rian Johnson showed that anyone anywhere could wield the Force.

Exclusive: Jamie Bell is set to star in World War II thriller Dynamite Room from the producers of Beast and Under The Shadow.

Fresh off acclaimed performances in Toronto drama Skin and Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool and ahead of a key role in Elton John biopic Rocketman, Bell will star in the Olly Blackburn-directed feature, which Altitude will launch for the Cannes Marché.

Set during July 1940, the story opens with 12-year-old evacuee Lydia walking through a village in rural England on a baking hot day. She is wearing a gas mask. The shops and houses are empty, windows boarded up and the village seemingly deserted. Leaving it behind, she arrives at a large house by the marshes – the house she grew up in. Lydia finds it empty too and her family gone.

Late that night comes Heiden (Bell), a soldier, gun in hand and heralding a full-blown German invasion.

Pulse Films has further pumped up its scripted team with the hiring of Jamie Hall as its executive vice president of scripted production and commercial affairs. Hall is the former COO of Frank Spotnitz’s Big Light Productions, where he oversaw strategic partnerships and financing for entertainment projects.

Hall’s appointment follows the recent hiring of Dimistra Tsingou as the company’s president of scripted, and the promotion of Lucas Ochoa to chief creative officer.

Hall will oversee Pulse’s scripted TV and film production globally including upcoming Gareth Evans and Matt Flannery helmed series “Gangs of London” for Sky and HBO Cinemax, and “Atomic Bazaar,” written by Greg Burke.

Productions under Hall’s watch at Big Light included the CBS series “Ransom,” “The Indian Detective,” starring comedian Russell Peters for CTV, the drama “Medici: Masters of Florence,” starring Richard Madden and Dustin Hoffman, and Amazon’s “The Man in the High Castle.

We chatted to the writer and cast of new BBC supernatural period drama starring Colin Morgan, by the co-creator of Life On Mars...

On the wall of Ashley Pharoah’s office hangs the bullet-riddled driver-side door of a red 1983 Audi Quattro. It’s a set-souvenir from Ashes To Ashes, the time-travel police drama he co-created to follow Life On Mars. Somewhere nearby is a sepia photograph of a young man looking justifiably disturbed by the sack-headed, creepily masked figures who surround him. That’s Pharoah’s souvenir from the set of The Living And The Dead, an eerie period supernatural drama launching in 'box-set' form on BBC iPlayer tomorrow.

Set in 1894 Somerset, The Living And The Dead is in the tradition of the dark English pastoral. It pits the rural customs and rites of an ancient way of life against the modern ingress of industry and technology.

All 6 episodes of The Living And The Dead, from the co-creator of Life On Mars, will debut this Friday the 17th of June on BBC iPlayer...

In a repeat of last year's successful online-box-set-then-traditional-broadcast-release (snappier name required) of Peter Kay's Car Share, the BBC is launching its first original drama 'box-set'.

All six episodes of spooky new period drama The Living And The Dead, created by Life On Mars' Ashley Pharoah and starring Merlin's Colin Morgan and Glue's Charlotte Spencer, will be available to watch from this Friday the 17th of June on BBC iPlayer. The episodes will then receive a weekly airing starting from Tuesday the 28th of June at 9pm.

It's a smart move from the BBC, one that will transform iPlayer into more than simply a catch-up service. Traditional viewers won't lose out on week-by-week viewings, while those more used to gulping down entire series whenever it suits them can do just that.

The Living And The Dead is in the tradition of the dark English pastoral, a creepy countryside tale of the strange goings-on that beset a young psychologist (Morgan) and his photographer wife (Spencer) when they move back to his childhood West Country home in 1894.

We'll have more for you on the show later this week.

The rumours have been rife, but now we have it 100% confirmed - Jenna Coleman is leaving Doctor Who, which means the hunt is on for her replacement.

Who's fit to follow in Clara's footsteps? 12 suggestions follow - from the silly to the serious.

Jenna Coleman will star as Queen Victoria in a major new ITV drama

1. Ingrid Oliver

Unit scientist Osgood - first name as yet undisclosed - is perhaps the natural choice to replace Clara.

Smart, plucky and with a taste for adventure, she's got all the qualities one looks for in a companion - and was already eyed as a potential by the Doctor before her untimely demise ("All of time and space - something for your bucket list.").

Now that she's apparently returned from the dead, perhaps Osgood could step aboard the Tardis in series nine - providing she's not a Zygon duplicate.

2. Maisie Williams

Game of Thrones...

Shooting has commenced on Access All Areas, a wild and uplifting pilgrimage undertaken by runaway teenagers to a magical island music festival. The film starts its shoot at Bestival on the Isle of Wight, which includes participation from live music acts, and then moves to Bristol to film on location for five weeks.

Access All Areas is described as an intoxicating and memorable journey in to the magic of music festivals and all the crazy and wonderful things that can happen in these other worlds.

Newcomer Edward Bluemel (represented by Hamilton Hodell) leads the cast as Heath, a young man trying to keep it together. Shackled by his wildly unpredictable mum, he can see no way out of his dead-end urban rut, and music is his only escape. This is Edward's screen debut, he graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama this year, and was the winner...

Back in April, an open casting call was posted on Screenterrier to find two boys to star in Love Nina, Nick Hornby’s adaptation of Nina Stibbe's award-winning book Love, Nina for BBC One.

Filming starts this month on location in London with young newcomers Ethan Rouse and Harry Webster set to play brothers Joe and Max.

They will star alongside Faye Marsay (represented by Curtis Brown) in the title role of Nina, their nanny, suffering from the culture shock of moving to one of London’s most Bohemian streets from her home town in the East Midlands. Faye played Steph in feature film Pride, with many TV roles including Glue, My Mad Fat Diary, Fresh Meat, The White Queen and Game of Thrones.

Helena Bonham Carter will play Georgia, the boys' beautiful, forthright mother. Jason Watkins will play local author Malcolm Tanner and Josh McGuire will play Nunney, Nina’s on-off boyfriend.

Colin Morgan fans won't have long to wait for their next fix now that Humans is over.

The former Merlin star will lead the cast of BBC One's haunting new series, The Living and the Dead.

A supernatural drama set in 1890s Somerset, the six-parter has been created by Life on Mars creator Ashley Pharoah.

If that wasn't exciting enough, Glue standout - and BAFTA nominee - Charlotte Spencer is also on board.

Morgan will play Nathan Appleby - a young man faced with dangerous supernatural phenomena - with Spencer cast as his wife Charlotte.

"The Living and the Dead is one of those scripts that you read and are instantly compelled and engaged by," Morgan said. "It's intelligent, chilling and engrossing, it's going to be very special and I can't wait to start working on it with the wonderful creative team."

Spencer added: "It's always been a dream...

Doctor Who is the persistent subject of rumours - from the credible to the outright absurd - and it can be difficult to separate what's fact from what's fiction.

Lucky for you, dear reader, that Digital Spy is on hand to cut a swathe through the nonsense - these are the facts, 100% confirmed, about series 9 of the world's greatest science-fiction series.

Filming began on the 9th series of Doctor Who - its 35th run overall - on January 5, 2015 for a planned transmission in the autumn. Steven Moffat will serve as lead writer and executive producer for the fifth time.

Peter Capaldi will return for his second full series as the Doctor, while Jenna Coleman will be back for her third run of episodes as Clara Oswald.

The debut feature of actor Steve Oram (Sightseers, TV’s Glue), Aaaaaaaah! stars Julian Barratt, Toyah Willcox, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Steve Oram, Lucy Honigman, Tom Meeten and Sean Reynard. The supporting cast include Noel Fielding, Holli Dempsey, Shelley Longworth, Alice Lowe, Tony Way and Waen Shepherd.

Alpha Male, Smith and his Beta, Keith, make a move to take over a local community. They hook up with restless Female, Denise, igniting a deadly feud in which emotions run high and deep-seated grudges re-surface amongst the tribe. Are we not men? Or are we simply beasts? Steve Oram’s debut feature is a celluloid primal sceam in which the entire cast speak in grunts and gibberish – an anarchic, hilarious, disturbing and touching look at the human condition.

My Mad Fat Diary is back for its third - and final - series this month, and we have your very first look at the gang in the new episodes.

E4 has just popped over this first look picture, featuring Rae (Sharon Rooney), Izzy (Ciara Baxendale), Archie (Dan Cohen), Finn (Nico Mirallegro), Chloe (Jodie Comer), Chop (Jordan Murphy) and Danny (Darren Evans) sitting together in the pub.

We found out in February that the third series of My Mad Fat Diary, made up of three hour-long episodes, will be the last.

The new instalments will see the group planning for their futures, with Chloe looking into attending business school and Finn wanting to settle down.

Meanwhile, Rae will meet a new friend - played by Game of Thrones, Glue and Fresh Meat star Faye Marsay - who "forces her to see everything differently".

The new series of My Mad Fat Diary...

Vicky McClure has promised a "powerhouse" final series of This Is England.

The Channel 4 drama will return for a final four-part outing - This Is England '90 - later this year.

"All the characters are back - and on amazing form," said McClure, who has played Lol since the original 2006 film.

The actress also spoke about the upcoming third series of Line of Duty - set to introduce a new nemesis for AC-12, played by Danny Mays.

McClure was nominated at last night's House of Fraser BAFTA Television Awards for her performance as Kate Fleming in the BBC Two cop thriller.

However, Gemma Jones (Marvellous) ultimately won out in the Supporting Actress category, which also included nominees Amanda Redman (Tommy Cooper: Not Like That, Like This) and Charlotte Spencer (Glue).

Unit scientist Osgood, played by Ingrid Oliver, returns to Doctor Who for season nine. Having been killed by Missy (Michelle Gomez) in the show’s season eight finale ‘Death in Heaven’, Steven Moffat decided to bring back the Doctor’s biggest fan.

Steven Moffat, lead writer and Executive Producer, said: “Osgood is back, fresh from her recent murder at the end of last series. We recently confirmed that Osgood was definitely dead and not returning – but in a show about time travel, anything can happen. The brilliant Ingrid Oliver is back in action. This time though, can the Doctor trust his number one fan?”

This time she’s back in action and comes face-to-face with the shape-shifting extra-terrestrial Zygons, as they also return for the new season. They last appeared in ‘The Day of the Doctor’ for the show’s 50th anniversary episode.

One of the most popular fan theories...

Channel 4 drama Glue captivated audiences in 2014, and now the series's official soundtrack has been released.

Ivor Novello-nominated composed Walter Mair produced the score for the show, which followed events surrounding a murder in rural England.

Mair said: "Glue was a fantastic experience that required me to leave the picturesque countryside of England behind and dive into a gloomy and sinister England.

"The music focuses on the relationship between the main characters and their playful and emotive nature, which ultimately heads into much darker territory."

Glue director Daniel Nettheim added: "Walter is a wonderful collaborator and true craftsman of music for the screen.

"His entrancing score elevates the emotion and drama of the series to another cinematic level."

The official Glue soundtrack is released by eOne Music.

Glue's young cast included Yasmin Paige (Submarine), Rizzle Kicks' Jordan Stephens, Charlotte Spencer (Line of Duty), Tommy Lawrence Knight (The Sarah Jane Adventures...

Benedict Cumberbatch has been nominated for the third time as leading actor in his BBC role of Sherlock. This marks his sixth nomination for this category in his career.

Cumberbatch received a Best Actor Oscar nomination earlier this year for his role as Alan Turing in Morten Tyldum’s The Imitation Game.

The nominations, announced on Wednesday by actors Freddie Fox and Amanda Abbington, place Cumberbatch in a category alongside three others.

Toby Jones (Harry Potter, Captain America, The Hunger Games) is recognized for his role in Marvellous. The show received two other nominations including Single Drama and Supporting Actress for Gemma Jones.

James Nesbitt (The Hobbit) also received a leading actor nomination for The Missing, in addition to Jason Watkins (The Golden Compass) for his role in The Lost Honour of Christopher Jeffries.

The BAFTA award-winning writer of Pride looks back at the release of the film, its impact, and Pride: The Musical.

Regular readers of this site will know how strongly we feel about the excellent movie Pride, which we ranked as one of our firm favourites of 2014. We spoke to writer Stephen Beresford ahead of its release, and since then, he's picked up a BAFTA for his work on the movie.

We caught up with him for a chat looking back at the last six months, as Pride arrives on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK...

I wanted to catch up with you to get the 'during' and 'after' story for Pride, as we spoke originally just before it's release.

You have that lovely line in the film - "to find out you had a friend you never knew existed, well that's the best feeling in the world". This film...

The Flash: Sky1, 8pm

Sky1's Us superhero import starring Grant Gustin as scarlet speedster Barry Allen continues with latest episode 'Crazy For You'.

Tonight, Barry squares off against a teleporting metahuman, while Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) learns to let her hair down.

Critical: Sky1, 9pm

11 years on from BBC Three's Bodies, writer Jed Mercurio (Line of Duty) returns to the medical drama with Sky1's Critical.

Lennie James fronts the new series - also starring Claire Skinner and Kimberley Nixon - set in a state-of-the-art major trauma centre.

Immigration Street: Channel 4, 10pm

Originally planned as a full-length series follow-up to Benefits Street, this controversial doc will now air as a one-off film tonight.

Immigration Street observes the lives of the residents of the ethnically diverse Derby Road in Southampton, known locally as 'The Jungle' - and no matter what you think of the film, it's certain to get people talking.

As Glue arrives on DVD, Faye Marsay looks back at the show, as well as Pride, and Doctor Who...

2014 was quite a year for Faye Marsay. The wonderful Pride, the Doctor Who Christmas special and E4's Glue were amongst a bunch of highlights for one of Britain's fast-rising acting talents.

We chatted to her as Glue arrives on DVD. And we've found out if we're going to see the Shona Shuffle again anytime soon...

I spoke to you in the midst of Pride, a film I really loved. It struck me then and it struck me since that last year seemed to be a year and a half for you, what with that, Doctor Who and Glue. You've hinted in the past that since you left drama school, life has been a whirlwind. So where does 2014 sit in all of that?

I never expected that I'd be doing as many jobs as I did.

The story follows an elite military unit commanded by Lt. Fredrick Hank (Christensen) who is dropped behind enemy lines in the mountains of Poland in order to destroy a secret Nazi weapons facility. What they encounter is something they've never been trained for. [Source: THR]

Black Lung

Amanda Seyfried ("Mamma Mia") and Theo James ("Divergent") will headline the supernatural thriller "Black Lung" at 2929 Prods. and Cooper's Town Prods. Cary Fukunaga ("True Detective") will executive produce and filming begins this Summer.

Faye Marsay joins the cast on the third and final mini-series of My Mad Fat Diary, of three one-hour episodes which starts filming this week.

Every year, companies pay staggering amounts of money to run short spots during the Super Bowl. Because of the number of viewers -- and the legendary tradition of Super Bowl ads -- advertisers go out of their way to make particularly funny, clever or emotional commercials that try to immediately grab your attention.

News: The 7 Sexiest Super Bowl Commercials of All Time

This year was filled with memorable ads, but not all of them were memorable for the right reasons. From celebs making fun of themselves to sexualized cars, and even post-apocalyptic nightmares, here are the best, the worst and the weirdest ads from Super Bowl Xlix.

Who are the stars of tomorrow in TV, film and theatre?

Digital Spy presents its predictions for 2015 - in no particular order, here are seven young actors, writers, comedians and musicians who look destined to make an impression on the world of entertainment this year.

1. Billy Howle

After graduating from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in 2013, Billy Howle quickly landed television work in Channel 4's New Worlds and on ITV's Vera.

But the young actor first came to our attention last year with his powerful performance as the troubled James in sorely underrated countryside thriller Glue.

Next up for the talented Howle is a plum role in BBC One's adaptation of Laurie Lee's Cider with Rosie, which is due to be broadcast later in 2015.

2. Hannah Britland

A graduate from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Hannah Britland launched her television acting career with early roles in Misfits and Skins.

Digital Spy's best TV shows of the year is always a hotly-contested list - with only 25 spots to allocate, many of our favourites miss out by a whisker.

Here's a smattering of series that almost made the final countdown - these are the best of the rest.

The Fall

Though we'd never go so far as to say that familiarity breeds contempt when it comes to The Fall, it is true to say that the second series of Allan Cubitt's crime thriller lacked a little of the impact of the 2013 run.

The title of Doctor Who's ninth series premiere has been revealed.

'The Magician's Apprentice' - written by Steven Moffat - will launch Peter Capaldi's second series of the BBC sci-fi drama.

The next Doctor Who episode will be festive special 'Last Christmas', airing on Christmas Day at 6.15pm on BBC One.

Nick Frost will join Capaldi and Jenna Coleman in the special, playing Santa Claus, while Coronation Street's Natalie Gumede and Glue's Faye Marsay will also appear.

The ninth series of Doctor Who will then begin filming in January, for broadcast in late 2015.

The BBC has refused to confirm whether or not Coleman will reprise her role as Clara for the next series.

Doctor Who: 9 things that series 9 must deliver

Watch a clip from Doctor Who 'Last Christmas' below:...

In its fifth recent investment in an indie outfit, the UK’s Channel 4 has taken a minority stake in drama, factual and comedy producer, Eleven Film. Co-founded by Jamie Campbell and Joel Wilson in 2006, Eleven’s credits include Cast Offs (Channel 4), Playhouse Presents: Mr Understood (Sky Arts), My Breasts Could Kill Me (Sky 1) and, most recently, the eight-part drama series Glue (E4). The London-based producer is currently shooting three-part Sky Living drama, The Enfield Haunting, starring Timothy Spall, Matthew Macfadyen and Juliet Stevenson. It also has the teenage Jesus drama series Nazareth in development at Fox with writer/executive producer David Franzoni.

“Jamie and Joel are young, dynamic TV executives who have worked themselves up from grassroots level to establish a multi-genre production company. We hope through our investment we can help them increase their stronghold in the UK and U.S. particularly in the competitive drama arena,...
