The crime drama Bergerac – a massive BBC One hit in the 1980s, starring John Nettles – is being rebooted. Here are the details.
Bergerac is back. Created by Doctor Who writer Robert Banks Stewart, the original series starred John Nettles and ran for nine series between 1981 and 1991. It became one of the biggest hits on the BBC schedules, all set on the island of Jersey.
The new version will give the show a “contemporary twist, as Bergerac is thrown into a knotty, high-stakes police investigation and challenged to his very core. He will be forced to confront his demons, while trying to save his family and career”.
The six-part UKTV Original series will be produced by BlackLight TV, part of Banijay UK, and written by Being Human creator Toby Whithouse, alongside Brian Fillis, Catherine Tregenna and Polly Buckle.

Alfred Molina is starring in the upcoming Prime Video series "Three Pines." It's an adaptation of the beloved and best-selling mystery novel series by Louise Penny, focused on Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. There are eight episodes in the season, though the novel series is 17 books long. That's a lot of story to mine from. It's set in Canada, and the production was filmed in both Montreal and rural Quebec.
This is the first Canada-based production for Left Bank, which is the production company behind the Netflix series "The Crown," about the royal family of the United Kingdom. Production began on the Canadian Amazon Original drama series in September 2021. If you haven't heard of Armande Gamache, it's time to start reading, and watching when the series premieres. The Washington Post named Gamache the most beloved fictional detective in a 2021 reader survey. That puts him ahead of both Hercule Poirot from Agatha...

Alfred Molina is to star in Amazon police drama series Three Pines, which comes from The Crown producer Left Bank Pictures.
The Spider-Man star is to play Chief Inspector Armand Gamache in the Canadian original, which was first revealed by Deadline in May 2020.
The eight-part series has begun production in Montreal and rural Quebec. It will film through to December and launch on Amazon in a number of territories including Canada, the U.S. and UK.
Based on Louise Penny’s book series, Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec is a man who sees things that others do not: the light between the cracks, the mythic in the mundane, and the evil in the seemingly ordinary. As he investigates a spate of murders in Three Pines, a seemingly idyllic village, he discovers long-buried secrets and faces a few of his own ghosts.
The cast also includes Rossif Sutherland, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers,...

Pennyworth’s Anna Chancellor and Outlander’s James Fleet have joined the cast of BBC America’s The Watch, based on Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels.
The pair are the latest actors to join the BBC Studios and Narrativia-produced series, joining lead Richard Dormer.
Chancellor stars as Lord Vetinari, The Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, and architect of the city’s normalized wrongness and ramshackle system of governance, while Fleet stars as The Archchancellor, wizard, magical advisor, and the Head of the Unseen University.
Set in the fictional city of Ankh-Morpork, where crime has been legalized, The Watch is a “punk rock” drama. The eight-part series centers on a group of misfit cops as they rise up from decades of helplessness to save their corrupt city from catastrophe.
Elsewhere, Ingrid Oliver (Doctor Who) stars as the Head of The Assassins’ Guild, Doctor Cruces. Ruth Madeley (The Rook) stars as the wiry Throat,...

Doctor Who Season 11 might be filled with monsters and mutant spiders, but where are the villains that show us who the Doctor really is?
This article comes from Den of Geek UK.
Warning: Contains spoilers for all Season 11 episodes to date.
Reviews of the first five episodes of Doctor Who Season 11 under Chris Chibnall have found plenty to praise, with one major reservation: where, just where, are the villains?
In episode one, "The Woman Who Fell To Earth," we had a tooth-ridden blue giant with just one hobby: human hunting. In "Ghost Monument," it was hard to tell whether the antagonist was the ego-driven contest runner or the weapon-development that occurred on the planet in its distant past. "Rosa" introduces us to a time-travelling ex-con white supremacist who at some point managed to kill two-thousand people.
In "Arachnids In The UK," there may have been giant, deadly spiders running around,...

A corner of Terry Pratchett’s classic Discworld series will be adapted for the small screen by BBC America in The Watch.
The sprawling universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, a comic fantasy series of novels that has long since reached classic status, is getting a television adaptation treatment courtesy of BBC America in the form of a new original scripted series, The Watch, but the show will necessarily narrow its focus to the misfit cops that inhabit a subset of stories in the beloved series. BBC America will co-produce with Narrativia, and Simon Allen (The Musketeers) will pen the series with Hilary Salmon (Luther) at the helm.

Doctor Who fans mourning Clara's impending exit will have the chance to say goodbye to Jenna Coleman's companion in person.
Coleman has been confirmed to attend this month's Doctor Who Festival at the Excel Exhibition Centre in London.
The actress will appear on both the Saturday and Sunday (November 14-15) and will join Peter Capaldi, Michelle Gomez and Ingrid Oliver for a special Meet The Cast panel.
Photo opportunities with Coleman are now on sale - though if you haven't purchased a photo opp with her co-star Capaldi yet, the bad news is those are all sold out.

Further attractions at the fan event include real sets on display from series nine, a Cosplay Showcase and a special effects live show.

Last week I referred to “The Girl Who Died” as the first half of a two-parter. It was pretty obvious even then that, along with “The Woman Who Lived,” this pair wasn’t a two-parter in the same vein as the previous tales this season. Not only are they entirely different settings, but they’re not even by the same writer. Catherine Tregenna is new to Doctor Who, but not to the Whoniverse. Between 2006 and 2008 she wrote four episodes of Torchwood, the show about the immortal Captain Jack Harkness (who gets a name check here). Was that experience an ideal primer for this series of extended gut wrenching conversations between two immortals, traveling through time on very different paths?Perhaps, but I’d argue that the best primer was her sex, which brought a refreshing, vital point of view to the ongoing story of Ashilder/Lady Me that surely would...

"Sometimes I think a Time Lord lives too long..." David Tennant once moped, and five years on, Doctor Who is returning to that same topic. In 'The Woman Who Lived', it's Peter Capaldi's Doctor who's haunted by his own immortality, and that of Viking girl Ashildr (Maisie Williams). She's 18 forever, which is nowhere near as fun as it sounds. Defying death has its price, and this episode soars when it dwells on that theme, but equally stumbles when it strays from it.
Like a Time Lord, Ashildr can now live forever (barring accidents) which means there are fascinating parallels to be drawn between her and the Doctor. Both know that living forever takes a toll. Loved ones all disappear and, in a life spanning hundreds of years, even memories eventually fade.
Embittered by her experiences, Ashildr is what the Doctor fears he will become - unfeeling, uncaring, hollow.

The Woman Who Lived is a fascinating episode of Doctor Who, filled with philosophical discussions and ruminations on the nature of immortality.

The Woman Who Lived is a welcome surprise of a Doctor Who episode that takes a considerable swerve away from The Girl Who Died...
Now this one's an interesting turn to the side.
Ostensibly the concluding part of the story that kicked off with The Girl Who Died last week, The Woman Who Lived could, in large part, exist as a standalone story in its own right. It has people in common, obviously, but it didn't go in the direction I was expecting. I liked that.
It's certainly tonally quite different from the broad comedy romp we got last week, as writer Catherine Tregenna takes over from Steven Moffat and Jamie Mathieson. She takes things off in a slightly different direction, too. Her story is a lot quieter at times, putting quality dialogue into the mouths of people who are very good at delivering it.

New pictures from 'The Woman Who Lived' give us a closer look at the Doctor's trip to 1651 - and a new adversary (Ariyon Bakare) with fire-breath and the face of a lion.
Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams returns as Ashildr - a Viking girl made immortal by the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) in the previous episode, 'The Girl Who Died'.
Having lived hundreds of years since we saw her last, Ashildr is much-changed when she resurfaces.
Comedian and actor Rufus Hound also makes a guest appearance in this episode, from Torchwood writer Catherine Tregenna, playing another highwayman named Sam Swift.
Doctor Who continues this Saturday at 8.20pm on BBC One.

A big stack of shiny new pictures has been released for Doctor Who's series 9 follow-up to The Girl Who Died, The Woman Who Lived...
Hot on the heels of Maisie Williams' first appearance in Doctor Who, in last weekend's The Girl Who Died, comes her second, The Woman Who Lived. And here are the pictures, courtesy of the BBC, to prove it. Thirty-six of them in fact, which, by our calculations, seems just shy of releasing the entire episode in flip-book form.
Torchwood's Catherine Tregenna has written this one, with Ed Bazalgette repeating his directing duties from The Girl Who Died. Williams stars alongside Rufus Hound, Ariyon Bakare and more.
Here's the official BBC synopsis:
"England, 1651. The deadly Highwayman ‘The Nightmare’ and his sidekick stalk the dark streets of London. But when they find loot that’s not of this world, they come face to face with the Doctor.

Maisie Williams has hinted that her Doctor Who character Ashildr may recur on the series.
The Game of Thrones star debuted as the Viking girl - made immortal by the Doctor - in Saturday's episode, 'The Girl Who Died', and will return in this week's 'The Woman Who Lived'.
The 18-year-old said that there is "a good chance" viewers will see Ashildr again in later episodes.
"I'm hoping she comes back," Williams said. "Everyone's been asking if she comes back. I hope so, but I have no idea.
"I know they've had characters similar to Ashildr that have returned in future episodes and series, so we'll see. I think there's a good chance!"
'The Woman Who Lived' picks up with Ashildr hundreds of years after 'The Girl Who Died', and is set in England, 1651, where a deadly and elusive highwayman is running riot.

Yet none of that matters because this is Ashildr’s story and Maisie Williams’ portrayal of the fey girl is so captivating that everything else falls away. Writer Jamie Mathieson’s script has an unfortunate tendency to jarring leaps of tone but Ashildr’s character is so finely crafted it is easy to forgive any missteps.

Thirty-five minutes into a Doctor Who episode and you'd expect to have a fair grasp of what it's all about. Not so with 'The Girl Who Died', an episode that veers wildly in tone, before pulling the rug out from under its audience in the final act.
It takes us on a merry dance from the start. Opening with a skin-crawling horror sequence, co-writers Steven Moffat and Jamie Mathieson then segue into a frothy adventure romp - something comparable to last year's 'Robot of Sherwood'.
It's fast-paced, with sharp, funny dialogue and some great clowning from Peter Capaldi, who seems far more comfortable with this sort of material than he was 12 months ago. Scenes in which hapless Vikings are spooked by false Gods are almost Monty Python-esque - "I'm not good with heights," laments one, spooked by the idea of ascending to Valhalla.
But gradually, 'The Girl Who Died' raises...

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.

Steven Moffat is not adverse to giving the fans what they want. After all he’s brought back Paul McGann, reverted to the pre new paradigm Daleks, made the anniversary special a multi-doctor romp, swapped the cybusmen with the genuine article and given us scenes of the Time War and Gallifrey.
Series Nine will continue the trend, providing fans with plenty to get excited about. For starters we will see the return of the much missed two parters. The producer has also brought on board two new female writers (Catherine Tregenna, Sarah Dollard), fulfilling another wish within fandom.
But nevertheless, some hopes for Series Nine are likely to be nothing but pipe dreams. Many of them resurface in every interregnum. Even if Steven Moffat has emphatically said “no” the rumours continue on the basis that he has been known to be economical with the truth and sometimes downright misleading.

Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams was announced as one of the guest stars on the new series of Doctor Who, filming now in Wales.
While her exact role has not been revealed, Steven Moffat, lead writer and Executive Producer, added:
“We’re thrilled to have Maisie Williams joining us on Doctor Who. It’s not possible to say too much about who or what she’s playing, but she is going to challenge the Doctor in very unexpected ways. This time he might just be out of his depth, and we know Maisie is going to give him exactly the right sort of hell.”
The announcement also revealed two more episode titles for the new series, ‘The Girl Who Died’ written by Jamie Mathieson and Steven Moffat, and ‘The Woman Who Lived’ by Catherine Tregenna. Tregenna has written several episodes of Torchwood, including “Captain Jack Harkness”, for which she received a Hugo nomination.

From the Queen Vic to the Tardis. As Eastenders prepares to mark its 30th anniversary, we look back at its encounters with Doctor Who...
Back in the mid-eighties an actor who played "Third Assistant" in a Doctor Who story called The Savages (1966) and the director of another Doctor Who adventure, The Underwater Menace (1967), came together to create one of the BBC’s most successful television shows.
And when they got together, it was murder. Well, not quite. (Though the first episode did feature a victim who would later die, fact fans.) But what they did create was Eastenders.
Broadcast on February the 19th 1985 (in between episodes one and two of The Two Doctors), this creation of Who alumni would go on to share numerous links with the long-running science-fiction for years to come. Even its time-slot owes much to the adventures of everyone’s favourite Gallifreyan.

Is it autumn yet? No, unfortunately not. After Last Christmas, fans have been left to twiddle their thumbs as they while away the remaining weeks (somehow that makes the wait sound more bearable than saying ‘months’) until the Doctor’s long overdue return to our screens in the fall. Even though they know practically nothing about what lies in wait for TV’s favourite Time Lord in Series 9, there’s still plenty of tantalising tidbits to keep their Whovian brains occupied in the meantime.
Principal photography on the Twelfth Doctor’s second string of adventures has only just begun, of course, so there will be plenty more intriguing developments to come as filming continues. All that’s really been revealed about Series 9 thus far is that Clara Oswald is sticking around (and seemingly for the duration), the finale begins with a “whopper” of a cliffhanger and Missy will also...

It's been an agonising wait, but Chris Chibnall's BAFTA-winning thriller will return to our screens on January 5, with David Tennant and Olivia Coleman returning to front the cast as detectives Alec Hardy and Ellie Miller.
Marianne Jean-Baptiste, James D'Arcy, Charlotte Rampling and Torchwood's Eve Myles are among the new cast additions for series two, which promises to reveal why Alec is still in Broadchurch and what's next for Ellie (Coleman) after she uncovered her husband's dark side.

Neil Gaiman has said that he will likely not write for Doctor Who series nine because of his busy schedule.
Gaiman previously wrote a pair of episodes, 'The Doctor's Wife' and 'Nightmare in Silver', for the 11th Doctor (Matt Smith).
Neil Gaiman wants Tom Hiddleston for The Sandman
The writer recently explained that he is currently too busy to make the "enormous time commitment" necessary to write for Doctor Who.
"I'm not writing for series nine right now, just because of ridiculous work commitments I'm trying to get out from under," Gaiman told the Radio Times. "I am determined to write for Peter Capaldi.
"As long as Peter is Doctor Who, I will write for him. And every time I'm in the UK, I go and see the Doctor Who people. I go see [producer] Brian Minchin and Steven Moffat, and none of us are going to let me go off the boil.

Female fans of BBC’s Doctor Who have something to be thankful for. Their popular series has landed their first female writer in about 6 years. The show has always had a heavy influence from females who worked on the series on camera and behind the scenes. However, women were upset that they haven’t hired a new female point of view to assist with telling the story of the half a century running series. Catherine Tregenna is the one they picked for at least 1 episode for next season. She has experience in working on the spin-off series Touchwood.
I am sure they will get some flack for confirming her for one episode so far. But if she does well, I am sure they will ask her to return. This is good news since it may be a sign of more to come. I just hope that they are also care...

There has been a rising tide of backlash against sci-fi favorite “Doctor Who” for years now. Complaints have centered around the show ostensibly being about the journeys of female companions, yet with little to no actual women with boots on the ground in production. This leads to all kinds of problems, the least of which is sexist comments by showrunner Steven Moffat about the roles of women as characters and fans. When you’ve got Neil Gaiman nicely pointing out the skewed gender dynamics behind the camera, you know you’ve reached backlash zeitgeist. With that in mind, CultBox announced Catherine Tregenna has been hired by “Doctor Who” to write an episode for Series 9. This makes Tregenna first female writer on the show in six years, and the first period during Moffat’s tenure as showrunner. Her writing credentials are impeccable. Tregenna’s most instantly recognizable credit to Americans audiences...

Torchwood's Catherine Tregenna is writing a series 9 episode of Doctor Who...
According to Executive Producer Brian Minchin, the roster of writers for Doctor Who series 9 is already fixed, not that their names - Steven Moffat's aside - are being revealed quite yet.
An early leak discovered via an online CV and reported by Doctor Who TV though, has revealed that screenwriter Catherine Tregenna (Torchwood, Casualty, Inspector Lewis) is one of the names on said list.
Tregenna, whose Torchwood episodes include the terrific Out Of Time, Captain Jack Harkness, Meat and Adam, numbered amongst our list of writers we'd most like to see a Who episode from back in 2013, so halloo hallay for that.
As is being widely reported, Tregenna will also be Doctor Who's most recent woman writer since Helen Raynor gave us The Sontaran Strategy and The Poison Sky all the way back in 2008.

Torchwood writer Catherine Tregenna will apparently pen an episode of Doctor Who for its ninth series.
Tregenna's involvement in the BBC sci-fi's next run was revealed by her client page on The Agency.
The Welsh playwright and television scriptwriter has previously written for EastEnders, Casualty and Law & Order: UK.
She also worked on four episodes of Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood across its first two series - 'Out of Time', 'Captain Jack Harkness', 'Meat' and 'Adam'.
Series nine will mark Peter Capaldi's second full series of Doctor Who following his debut in this year's 12-part run and next month's Christmas special.
If her episode forms part of the final line-up, Tregenna will be the first female writer to contribute to the show since 2008.
