Move over, Saint Marie — Jersey’s getting darker by the minute. Following a wave of critical praise and a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, Bergerac is officially returning for Season 2 on U&Original. A reimagining of the classic 1980s BBC series, the modern Bergerac stars Damien Molony (Brassic) as Jim Bergerac, the troubled Channel Islands detective now retooled for a grittier generation.

The second season is already in production on the island of Jersey, and the cast is expanding. Adrian Edmondson (Midsomer Murders) and Lesley Sharp (Red Eye) are joining the series as Nigel and Monica, respectively. Edmondson plays a love interest for Zoë Wanamaker’s returning character Charlie, while Sharp’s role hints at new emotional entanglements for Jim. Developed by Being Human creator Toby Whithouse, the show was hailed in its debut run as a moodier, more psychologically rich take on the beloved sleuth. The updated synopsis for Season...

Emma Watson has been banned from driving in the U.K. for six months after getting caught speeding. A judge at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court made the decision during a short hearing on a Wednesday, where Watson was also fined £1,044. Watson didn’t attend the hearing.

The speeding incident happened nearly a year earlier, on July 31, 2024, when Watson was driving 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford, England. Because she already had nine points on her driver’s license, the punishment was tougher.

Watson is not the only “Harry Potter” star facing a driving ban. Zoe Wanamaker, who played Madame Hooch in the first “Harry Potter” movie, was also fined and banned on the same day at the same court. Wanamaker was caught speeding on August 7, 2024, driving 46 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Like Watson, she already had nine points on her license, so she received the same fine and six-month driving ban.

Emma Watson has been banned from driving in the U.K. for six months after she was caught speeding. The “Harry Potter” star was ordered by a judge at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court to stay off the road and pay a fine of £1,044. This happened on a Wednesday hearing that lasted only five minutes, and Watson did not attend.

The speeding happened almost a year earlier, on July 31, 2024, when Watson was caught driving 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford, England. Before this, Watson already had nine points on her driver’s license, which made the punishment stricter.

But Watson isn’t the only “Harry Potter” actor dealing with a driving ban. Zoe Wanamaker, who played Madame Hooch in the first “Harry Potter” movie, was also fined and banned from driving on the same day and at the same courthouse.

Harry Potter stars Emma Watson and Zoe Wanamaker have each been banned from driving for six months following separate speeding incidents, reports the BBC.

Watson was caught driving 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford during July 2024. For the traffic offense, the Hermione Granger actress was fined £1,044 by High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, July 16th.

Before the incident, Watson had already racked up nine points on her license. In the UK, a driver can be banned for six months after tallying 12 or more penalty points within three years. They must also apply for a new license before returning to the road.

Wanamaker, who played broomstick flying instructor Madame Hooch, also had nine points on her license before being caught driving 46 mph in a 40 mph zone during August 2024. She received an identical fine from the High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

In other Harry Potter news, a TV adaptation is currently in production at HBO,...

Emma Watson won’t be getting behind the wheel of a car anytime soon after being banned from driving in the UK for six months, per multiple reports.

The actress, best known for her work in Harry Potter and Beauty and the Beast, drove an Audi at 38mph in a 30mph zone in Oxford during an outing in July 2024.

Watson has been banned from driving after accumulating more than nine penalty points on her driving license. High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court also ordered her to pay a fine of £1,044.

According to BBC News, Watson’s attorney, Mark Haslam, told High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court that his client was “in a position to pay the fine.”

The 35-year-old did not attend the short hearing. She is currently studying as a student at the University of Oxford, taking a break from her acting career. Her rep has been contacted.

When it comes to TV anthologies, one of the longer show runs belongs to none other than Tales of the Unexpected, a British series that lasted from 1979 to 1988, and amassed over 100 episodes. And while first conceived as a vehicle for author Roald Dahl’s body of work, eventually other writers and original stories entered the picture. No matter who was behind the wheel, though, this anthology always provided a twist in the tail.

As the title implies, Tales of the Unexpected aspired to surprise its audience. Each episode ended with a glaring turn of events, but not every one of them was shocking. These ten episodes, on the other hand, are a cut above the rest in how twisted they turned out.

Apple TV+ is still relatively new in the streaming industry, and despite having made a name for themselves by producing quality content that people talk about to no end, the Apple-owned streaming service has produced some shows that don’t get talked about much, but not because they are bad, but because they are overlooked. On one hand, Apple TV+ has produced extremely popular shows like Ted Lasso and Severance; on the other hand, it has brilliant but nowhere near as popular shows like Drops of God and Slow Horses. That’s why we decided to compile a list of all the brilliant shows that have been overlooked by the masses.

Fantasy show cancelations are always disappointing for dedicated fans, but it's especially frustrating when series are cut short on the heels of cliffhangers. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence for streaming shows, especially within the fantasy genre. Numerous fantasy shows have been canceled before completing their original plans, and in some cases, this means major incidents remain unresolved. This can be seen with several of Netflix's recent projects, though it's not the only platform to have this problem.

Fantasy shows tend to have intricate plots, which makes it difficult to end a season on a conclusive note, unless it's the final outing. If there's more story to tell, projects attempt to build momentum ahead of another season. This makes things worse when they're unexpectedly canceled, as there are huge questions and storylines that never get addressed properly.

The Murder Mystery has formed an integral aspect of popular culture's landscape since the earliest days of movies and television, a status quo that shows no sign of slowing down.

You can find Cbr's continuing coverage on Rowling here .

Harry Potter fans are blessed with a plethora of amazing characters, all of whom help to make Hogwarts a truly magical place. A lot of these wizards have managed to express their stories throughout the eight films, ensuring that viewers could easily fall in love with these three-dimensional figures. As such, these films are often praised for their unique storytelling tactics as well as their state-of-the-art special effects.

Yet, not every character was able to stay on for all eight films. In fact, some wizards made a long-lasting impression on the audience but were only really present for a handful of scenes.

Some of Doctor Who's best villains are inhuman, or things that used to be human but are no longer. Take the Daleks or the Cybermen, two of the greatest enemies of the Doctor and iconic designs, for example. They strike fear into the hearts of audiences. But some of the other greatest villains are human, and plenty are female.

Female villains often get more attention than male ones, simply because society doesnt always expect women to be evil. But not only were these women evil, some of them absolutely relished being evil. They were scarier than any Dalek or Cyberman.

In its sophomore season, Jumbo’s June Lenker is set as the senior officer on the scene when far-right counter-protesters attack a political rally. The clash leaves a young man dead, which consumes June with guilt and drives her to bring the unknown killer to justice.

June’s best hope in finding the killer is Daniel Hegarty, who is now a key figure in the shadowy world of police intelligence. He may have the answers she needs, but to get his help, she will have to accept a dangerous bargain.

Doctor Who has been a sci-fi staple for the past 60 years. Originally starting in the '60s, it made its revival in 2005, ready to attract viewers old and new.

When Peter Capaldi flickers into view on the Zoom call, I half expect him to tell me to “F** Off!”

For TV viewers of a certain age, the 65-year-old Scottish actor will forever be Malcolm Tucker, the supremely sweary spin doctor in Armando Iannucci’s pre-Veep Brit political satire The Thick of It.

“It’s The Thick of It and Doctor Who,” says a charming (and clean-mouthed) Capaldi, about the roles he’s most recognized for (he played the twelfth incarnation of the Doctor in the cult sci-fi series from 2013 to 2017). “Surprisingly, The Thick of It is still incredibly popular [the series wrapped in 2012]. People, generally very cool, smart young people, recognize me from that a lot. They generally just ask me to swear at them.”

Of course, there’s a lot more to Capaldi than Tucker and the Doctor. His scores of film and TV appearances include playing alongside Burt Lancaster in Bill Forsyth’s 1983 classic Local Hero,...

Doctor Who has had many amazing episodes over the years, but some have been forgotten due to the sheer number of stories told. "The Long Game," "New Earth," and "42" are standout episodes that are often overlooked, but they offer great standalone adventures and important moments for the characters. While these episodes may not be the best overall, they contribute to the larger narrative of Doctor Who and provide memorable moments for the Doctor and his companions.

Since Doctor Who's revival in 2005, there have been plenty of amazing episodes, but more than a few have been forgotten. With Doctor Who season 14 due to air in Spring 2024, there are sure to be many great new adventures in the Tardis. Since its reboot, Doctor Who has introduced five new Doctors to the Whoniverse, with Ncuti Gatwa playing the next incarnation.

Griselda is ready for her close-up.
