Welcome to a post-DC FanDome edition of BCTV Sunday Slices, after a week of some really big announcements but a little soft when it comes to news. That said, "a little soft" still covers a wide range of topics. This weekend, we sing the praises of Lovecraft Country, like the feeling of having Archer back, […]

The BBC has released a 20-minute cut-down of "Survival" on their YouTube channel. Once again, it's a personal story for Ace (Sophie Aldred). He takes her back to […]
In a surprise announcement, NBC's Peacock streaming service released a trailer for the BBC drama Anthony. In 2005, 18-year-old Black student Anthony Walker was murdered in an unprovoked, racially motivated attack in Liverpool that shocked the nation.

The first of the Doctor Who: Time Fracture 'Field Reports' until the immersive experience tickets go on sale widely, has just gone live on the BBC Doctor Who YouTube channel spreading the word of the new London show. It features the Time Crack that ran through Steven Moffat and the Tenth Doctor's run on the […]
A lot of people presumed that the Doctor Who: Time Fracture, a new immersive theatrical event planned for this autumn, and tying into the multi-platform Doctor Who event Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious would not be going ahead, due to the current global situation. Turns out it's just being delayed until February. Doctor Who: Time […]
Luci Loves Desi: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sitcom is a 5-part BBC Radio 4 series about the making of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy that dropped today.

With only four days to go until Tom Ellis's Lucifer Morningstar brings his devilish ways back to Netflix for a fifth and not-so-final season (with the cast also taking part in WarnerMedia's DC FanDome virtual event the following day), Lucifans might be at a loss for something to fill their geek time until Friday.

In 1992, seven years before The Blair Witch Project, long before social media became a big part of everyone's lives, a BBC TV play had its one broadcast on Halloween night. Ghostwatch proceeded to freak the entire United Kingdom out that night and brought attacks on the BBC. It has never been repeated and has […]
BBC's The Stone Tape is both the most influential and most obscure ghost story of the 20th Century. Written by Nigel Kneale and only transmitted once in 1972, it was a new take on the ghost story that still feels fresh today. A Modern Take on Hauntings A tech company doing research in an old […]

The Goes Wrong Show is probably the funniest comedy the BBC has shown in years.

The latest Doctor Who supercut on the show's official BBC YouTube channel is "The Deadly Assassin", cut down from four half-hour episodes to half an hour so we can skip over the slow bits. It's oddly effective because it's a massively flawed and pulpy story. The script by Robert Holmes feels like it was thrown […]

Welcome back to another round of BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of opinionated heaven where your resident "man-child" (long story, but I realize now that people throw out phrases they actually don't have the ability to understand so that's sad) looks back on the past week in Bleeding Cool Television's (BCTV) coverage to see what […]
After a big falling out with production staff, Christopher Eccleston left Doctor Who after the first season of 2005, replaced in the role of The Doctor by David Tennant. He also declined a planned return to the role alongside Tennant and Matt Smith for the 50th Anniversary The Day Of The Doctor, which saw his […]
Time for another Doctor Who supercut. This one is "The Curse of Fenric" from 1989, the 7th Doctor's (Sylvester McCoy) third and final season, and the old show's final season before it was unceremoniously canceled by the BBC. Ian Briggs Might be the Best Writer Doctor Who Ever had! Ian Briggs' script is perhaps the […]
Fans of Sir Terry Pratchett's (Good Omens) epic comedy/fantasy book series "Discworld" have been patiently waiting for word on when BBC America's eight-episode adaptation The Watch would be gracing their screens – and on Friday, they received some good news.
