British/UK TV Shows - Discussion

Michael Palin seems to be another one getting the "here's the best of my old series" treatment, starting Sunday night on BBC2, for those who don't want to watch Top Gear.

Who Do You Think You Are? returns for a short new series on Monday, starting with Jodie Whittaker.

His Dark Materials series 2 started yesterday.

Michael Sheen and David Tennant play versions of themselves during lockdown, rehearsing a play through Zoom and discussing other real-world stuff. A couple of big name cameos along the way, and some intriguing sub-plots, such as Sheen's elderly neighbour.

There was a 2nd series of this, 8 parts this time, with Sheen and Tennant and rather more big name cameos this time. They seemed to be settle for the thrill of names, and less interest in sub-plots about the pandemic.

Good news for nosey gits everywhere (well, in the UK) as WDYTYA returns next Tuesday for a longer run

The new ITV streaming service to replace ITV hub is to be called ITVX

I thought it was a wind up when I saw the email promo, but no

I wonder how many millions they paid a marketing company to come up with a name that makes it sound like a porn site ffs

Not exactly a British tv show, but it was mostly funded by Channel 5 I believe. Australian soap "Neighbours" looks to be making a comeback next year.
