Iain De Caestecker has become a mainstay of geek life of late, acclaimed for his role-playing Fitz in Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. However, a very reduced role in the seventh final season gave him a little more flex in what other roles he might take. Which now includes playing the younger version of Tom Hollander's […]
Relativity is a BBC sitcom written by, and co-starring, Richard Herring that takes some aspects of his own life but creates a multi-generational epic that is just as convoluted as the likes of HBO's Succession (also, weirdly, written by British comedian) but on a far more personal level. It begins with Herring's character, Ian (a […]
It comes to a surprise to some people that BBC's Sherlock is not filmed at 221B Baker Street, London. That's because there's a bank there, and has been for decades (though they keep a little Sherlock plaque up). Also, Baker Street just doesn't look like Baker Street anymore. But Gower Street, just around the corner, […]
This is a new series we're launching about the BBC's Doctor Who where we pick a story that sums up the personality and era of one particular Doctor. The story is not necessarily the best or the worst of that Doctor's era, just the one that we feel is the perfect introduction and summation of […]
Andrew Neil is a fiercely Scottish journalist and broadcaster, principally for the BBC, on Politics Live and The Andrew Neil Show. Or at least, he was. Today it was announced that Andrew Neil is leaving to launch a 24-hour, TV channel, GB News, to rival rolling news from the BBC and Sky, from the New […]
This is a new series we're launching about BBC's Doctor Who where we pick a story that sums up the personality and era of one particular Doctor. The story is not necessarily the best or the worst of that Doctor's era, just the one that we feel is the perfect introduction and summation of that […]
Radiotimes.com, now the Pravda of Doctor Who news, conducted a poll amongst about 50,000 fans to determine who the most popular Doctor is. Don't you just love these polls? The results show that David Tennant comes out on top of the most popular Doctor, with Jodie Whittaker polling second with a total of fewer than […]
When the dust settled on Series 12 of BBC's Doctor Who, there was one question of many that viewers couldn't shake. No, not about when holiday special "Revolution of the Daleks" will air or if we'll get new Who in 2021 (though we'll get back to that in a minute). This question has to do […]
Welcome back to another edition of BCTV's Sunday Slices, where I take a look at the past week in Bleeding Cool's television/streaming coverage to offer my thoughts on what went down, what's going down, and what's about to take off in the not-too-distant future. Once again, my thoughts/opinions are my own and do not necessarily […]
Nicholas Briggs, who voices the Daleks on Doctor Who, spoke to RadioTimes.com this weekend to tease "Revolution of the Daleks", the holiday special that's expected to air around Christmas this year. Briggs has played the voice of the Daleks in countless Big Finish audio plays since the 1990s and the TV series since its revival […]
Heading into the middle of the summer, Doctor Who fans weren't exactly feeling too confident about when production on Series 13 would get underway. Now, it sounds like there might be a light at the end of the tunnel (that won't turn out to be a "big bad" that you have to engage in a […]
As part of the multi-media Doctor Who crossover Time Lord Victorious, the BBC has just announced a new Daleks animated series called, Daleks! launching in November for Doctor Who's birthday. This is the final announced chapter in the Time Lord Victorious crossover that began with the Doctor Who comic book, continued with the Doctor Who […]
With the first half of the fifth season of Netflix's Lucifer still burning up streaming screens everywhere, the final eight episodes of the season expected to drop in the next few months, and a sixth (and final) season still to go, the future's looking pretty bright (and incredibly busy) for our Devil, Tom Ellis. But […]
Last night saw the return of Eastenders, the popular BBC 1 soap opera set in the East End of London and has been running for thirty-five years. That's until the coronavirus came along and the show had to take an extended filming – and broadcast break. Showing four episodes a week, it began to eke […]
Welcome back to another edition of BCTV Sunday Slices, where I take a look back at the week in Bleeding Cool's broadcast, cable, and streaming coverage to offer a little "extra perspective"- a nice way of saying that I'm getting to shoot my mouth off on a bunch of things that tickled the back of […]
The 13th Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker and helmed by showrunner Chris Chibnall, is the gamechanger for Doctor Who in many ways. First, she was the first female lead in canon. Then in her second season, Chibnall dropped a bombshell. The Doctor was the original Timeless Child, an immortal being from an unknown place who […]
In honor of the late Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther, Da 5 Bloods), who passed away after a four-year battle with cancer at the age of 43, I'm going to put our regular BCTV Sunday Slices intro on ice for the week. Instead, we'll kick things off with some words from Boseman himself: "I don't know […]
Peter Capaldi doesn't get enough respect. In the modern incarnation of The Doctor, there's a definite fan consensus around the love for David Tennant and Matt Smith, with Jodie Whittaker gaining a larger and growing fanbase. And Christopher Eccleston has his fans, too– he was, after all, the first in this reboot. Don't get me […]
Black Panther. Black Lightning. The Black Racer. Black Goliath. And now… Black Comet. Or not. Sir Lenny Henry has brought back his eighties BBC comedy sketch show The Lenny Henry Show, to BBC Radio 4. Which means he can open the first show with an effects-heavy sketch as the superhero saving the day Comet. Or […]
Peacock, NBC Universal's streaming service, has been on a BBC buying spree lately. First, they announced Jimmy McGovern's TV movie ANTHONY, now they've released the trailer for the BBC's adaptation of Malorie Blackman's classic Young Adult Science Fiction book series Noughts + Crosses. The series will premiere on September 4th. The book series is considered a […]
