The following contains spoilers for Bob's Burgers Season 13, Episode 12, "Amelia," which debuted May 23 on Fox.

Newcomer Jackie Quinn proved a fitting addition to the quirky student body of Wagstaff School, a central location for some of Bob's Burgers' most memorable episodes. In Season 13's finale, "Amelia," Louise sought the help of Quinn's Benj, a blue-haired boy who would rather spend his time making puppets than attending the wheelchair basketball practices imposed by his mother.

The Jim Henson-loving Benj instantly clicked into Bob's Burgers' world, brimming with kids who harbor eclectic hobbies and personalities. The unfolding tales of Wagstaff School rely on a versatile ensemble, including characters who can drive an entire episode's plot, such as Mr. Frond, or simply add to the show's quirky universe with character-driven one-liners such as John Robert's Jocelyn.

Foreplays is a column that explores under-known short films by renowned directors. Lynn Ramsay's Gasman (1998) is free to watch below.Lynne Ramsay’s Gasman is a film about family, and a film made with family—the director’s own brother and niece play, respectively, the central father and daughter in the story. Two siblings, Lynne (Lynne Ramsay Jr.) and Steve (Martin Anderson), go to a Christmas party with their father (James Ramsay), while the mother (Denise Flannagan) remains at home. They briefly meet with a woman (Jackie Quinn) and her two kids (Lisa Taylor, Robert McEwan). The woman leaves, but her children join the party. Gasman is the story both of a perfectly banal evening, and of an exceptional event that serves to fracture the family unit, messing up all its usual roles, and dissolving the very idea of what is familiar. Ramsay achieves this by never losing sight either of the everyday,...

BBC One has previewed its upcoming dramas including the new series of Sherlock.

The Great Train Robbery, written by Broadchurch's Chris Chibnall and starring Jim Broadbent, and David Tennant's The Escape Artist - written by Spooks creator David Wolstencroft - also feature in the new Original British Drama trailer.

Other series showcased include The Musketeers, Quirke, What Remains, Ripper Street and By Any Means.

The Musketeers, a new ten-part series from Primeval co-creator Adrian Hodges, stars Skins actor Luke Pasqualino and Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi in a "fresh and contemporary take" on Alexandre Dumas's classic novel.

By Any Means stars Luther's Warren Brown as Jack Quinn, leader of an elite team of mavericks who bring criminals to justice.

BBC One's new British drama trail airs on TV for the first time tonight (September 1) at 9pm.

Homeland's David Harewood and Downton Abbey's Amy Nuttall will appear in new BBC One drama By Any Means.

The series stars Luther's Warren Brown as Jack Quinn, leader of an elite team of mavericks who bring criminals to justice - by any means.

Harewood and Nuttall join fellow guest stars Honor Blackman (Goldfinger) and Nick Moran (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels).

"I'm so excited to be part of this gripping new drama," said Nuttall. "Being on set with the fantastic cast and crew was really fun.

"My character is a hard-hitting journalist - very different from some of the other characters I've played - which was lots of fun!"

Keith Allen (Robin Hood), Neil Maskell (Utopia), Kate Dickie (Game Of Thrones) and Michael Maloney (The White Queen) will also appear in the show, from writer Tony Jordan (Life On Mars, Hustle).

Luther star Warren Brown has described his new show as "like The A-Team meets The Equalizer".

Brown will play the lead in BBC One's new drama By Any Means, from writer Tony Jordan (Life On Mars, Hustle).

"I play a character called Jack Quinn, who's in charge of a team and their brief is to catch criminals by any means," Brown told Digital Spy. "It's of the crime genre, but they're not actually police. They go after criminals that the police can't catch, for whatever reason.

"It's a bit of a dysfunctional family - different members of the team have different skills and they're called upon when required.

"I tried to describe it and I said, 'It's like The A-Team meets The Equalizer', and then I thought, 'I would absolutely bloody watch that!''

Brown also explained that By Any Means is lighter fare than his recent work on the BBC's Luther and Good Cop.

Warren Brown, Shelley Conn and Andrew Lee Potts are to lead the cast of new BBC One drama By Any Means.

Luther star Brown will play "sharp and elusive" cop Jack Quinn in the series from Hustle's Tony Jordan.

By Any Means follows an elite team of maverick cops who tread the fine line of the law in their war against criminals.

Terra Nova actress Conn has been cast as straight-talking Jessica Jones, while Primeval's Potts will play digital whiz-kid Thomas Tomkins.

Gina McKee (Line of Duty) will also star as Helen Barlow, a mysterious insider who provides the team with tip-offs.

Filming on By Any Means has begun in Birmingham, with Sinbad's Elliot Knight, Robin Hood's Keith Allen and Utopia's Neil Maskell all confirmed for guest roles.

Warren Brown said: "I'm thrilled and excited to be working on By Any Means. I loved Jack Quinn...
