At the second day of the Crossed Wires Podcast Festival on Saturday 5th July, headliner Help I Sexted My Boss raised the roof with an on-stage proposal. Organised between William Hanson and the doting proposer in the interval, Tristan knelt on one knee as his now-fiancé Shona jumped with delight, before recounting the day he confessed his feelings in Wetherspoons as Jordan North ran around the stage with uncontrollable excitement.

Taking an unexpected turn in the second half, Jordan and ‘producer Ben’ stripped into gold hot pants for a Full Monty parody before William ‘stripped’ into a custom made Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday hybrid kit. A crowd sing-along to I Will Survive had all hands in the air, exuding true Saturday night fever from over 2,000 people at the sold-out show. On Instagram, fans are calling it the ‘best night ever’.

Leo Woodall earned his breakout fame as Dexter Mayhew in Netflix’s One Day, a charming, easy-going man at first, but plagued by self-doubt and destruction. So while many of us fell in love with the Bridget Jones star‘s flawed character, his new role as Valdimir in an upcoming thriller may just rewrite how you see him.

With his latest project, Vladimir, Woodall dives into a darker, more complex persona—a character so far removed from the charming romantic of his past that it might leave fans reeling.

Exclusive: A little-publicized representation record was broken at the BAFTA TV noms this year.

For the first time ever, more women than men are nominated in the Best Director: Fiction category, with talented helmers behind One Day, Baby Reindeer and We Are Lady Parts all recognized. Just one man, Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light’s Peter Kosminsky, made the cut.

Along with its big screen sibling, representation in TV directing has been under the microscope for years – a campaign to boost the number of female documentary directors has led some networks and indies to commit to 50/50 gender parity – and a 2023 tweak to the BAFTA longlisting rules also appears to have improved the situation.

Here, the trio of nominated female directors – Molly Manners, Nida Manzoor and Weronika Tofilska – talk stereotypes, “macho” behavior and inspirational women, while detailing their respective experiences getting to the top.

Molly Manners (One Day):...

The BAFTA Television Awards nominations have landed and, as always, there were a few eyebrow raisers from jury members.

The likes of Baby Reindeer and Mr Bates vs The Post Office were expected to do well, and both series duly delivered with eight and six nominations respectively.

Baby Reindeer has been a darling of the season, and the BAFTA TV Awards will be the big crescendo to its campaign. The beloved Jessica Gunning and creator Richard Gadd both compete for prizes, while the series — which remains the subject of a massive U.S. lawsuit from Fiona Harvey — will compete in the Limited Drama category.

There was also good news for Slow Horses, which bagged six nominations for Apple TV+, including the notable return of Gary Oldman in the Leading Actor category after he missed out in 2024.

Where there is good news, there is also bad news, with a few notable...

After winning six Emmy Awards last year, “Baby Reindeer” is looking to dominate on home soil with eight nominations at the BAFTA TV and Craft Awards.

The hit Netflix series emerged at the top of the pack, landing nods for limited drama, leading actor for Richard Gadd and supporting actress for both Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau. With her nomination, Mau becomes the first openly transgender BAFTA TV Award nominee.

Further down, there was a three-way tie for second place, with ITV’s “Mr. Bates vs. the Post Office,” Disney+’s Jilly Cooper adaptation “Rivals” and Apple TV+’s spy series “Slow Horses” earning six nominations each. Disney+ also earned four nominations for Ira drama “Say Nothing,” as did the BBC documentary “Life and Death in Gaza.”

“Baby Reindeer” stars Gadd and Gunning were among 21 of 44 performance nominees to land their first BAFTA TV award nomination. Other first-timers include Jonathan Pryce...

Netflix has constantly driven pop culture forward, but this year more than ever, the streamer was the driving force.

Part of what made Netflix's shows and movies so massively popular in 2024, beyond the compelling stories and bingeable nature of the content, was the performances of the talented stars.

The Christmas movie has, in recent years, become its own industrial complex, algorithmically churned out by streaming services to hit various subscriber demographic sweet spots.

The following contains spoilers for 3 Body Problem, now streaming on Netflix.

Whether they're TV shows or movies, one thing fans are always curious about with book adaptations is how the source material will be altered. It doesn't matter if it's comics or novels, changes are usually made. Genre doesn't matter, as seen with Netflix tweaking the One Day television series from the original novel by David Nicholls.

This is done to improve plot beats, add nuance, and make properties relatable to modern audiences. Netflix does the same with another sci-fi series, 3 Body Problem, namely by streamlining the storyline from all three novels by Chinese writer, Liu Cixin. Here are the biggest changes Netflix's 3 Body Problem makes from the source material.

Esteemed British writer David Nicholls is not precious when it comes to adaptations of his novels and cites Netflix’s recent adaptation of his 2009 novel One Day as being a perfect example of how being open-minded to fresh ideas on established material can result in good work.

Speaking at Dublin’s first ever screenwriting festival Storyhouse, Nicholls sat down for a lengthy discussion with Room and Normal People director Lenny Abrahamson to discuss his process of writing and adapting material. Nicholls credited the writers and directors of series One Day – writer-creator Nicole Taylor, writer Bijan Sheibani and director Molly Manners, among others – of their ability to adapt One Day for a modern television audience.

“The joy of that was that they were both being very faithful and trying to replicate the feeling of reading the novel while at the same time embellishing and drawing things out,” said Nicholls. “And I...

Netflix's "One Day" was a major hit series, and should prompt viewers to watch the 2006 film "Starter for 10," based on a David Nicholls novel. Nicholls adapted a few of his books into screenplays, with the film "Starter for 10" receiving critical acclaim (and the movie version of "One Day" failing critically). "Starter for 10" and Netflix's "One Day" received similar Rotten Tomatoes scores, yet the series was more successful globally.

Netflix's One Day was one of the most streamed series upon its debut on the streaming platform, and its success should prompt those who enjoyed it to watch a film that premiered 18 years before the show's release. The 2024 romantic drama television series is an adaptation of David Nicholls' 2009 book of the same name, which chronicles the complicated and devastating love story between Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley. The show received widespread critical acclaim, with One Day's reviews explaining...

Atack built a strong reputation in the unscripted space while at Ymu before exiting last year. Her new company already has numerous entertainment, presenting, comedy and cultural thought leader clients in...

Netflix's One Day series eliminates Dexter and Tilly's sexual encounter that occurs in the book. The decision to remove this plot point was for the best as it would have caused major drama and soured the relationships between the characters. Tilly's character in the show is much more well-rounded and likable and has a much closer friendship with Emma compared to the book.

Netflix's One Day left out one part of Dexter's story from the book that would've made the TV adaptation worse. Based on David Nicholls' 2009 novel, One Day tells the complex love story between Emma Morley (Ambika Mod) and Dexter Mayhew (Leo Woodall) as it sways between platonic and romantic. Beginning on the night the pair first met at their university graduation ball on July 15, 1988, One Day traces how both Emma and Dexter's lives unfold, together and apart, over a 20-year period, with each new episode taking...

Popular modern romance novels like One Day deserve TV adaptations to bring their compelling love stories to a wider audience. TV adaptations of novels are becoming more common, allowing for detailed storytelling and captivating performances by well-known actors. Books like Call It What You Want, The Rachel Incident, and Romantic Comedy offer unique love stories that would translate well to TV.

Following the success of Netflix's One Day, based on the novel of the same name by David Nicholls, there are plenty of other modern-day romance books that should receive the TV adaptation treatment.

One Day was praised for its modern love story and how it approached pacing for such a storyline, luring in millions of viewers worldwide.

In Netflix’s One Day, Sylvie’s family plays “Are You There, Moriarty?” with Dexter, but the game has a much deeper meaning within the context of the series. Based on the eponymous novel by David Nicholls, this romance show follows Dex and Em, two best friends who weave in and out of each other’s lives over two decades.

Regardless, the recent adaptation proves the longevity of the original story and how universal tales of love and loss are for audiences.

Emma fulfills everything she said she wouldn't do with Dexter in Netflix's One Day, showing the depth of their relationship before tragedy. This genius detail is revealed in a flashback to episode 1 in the series finale. Despite their tragic ending, Emma and Dexter's love story in One Day showcases the beauty and heartbreak of growing a bond together.

A genius detail in One Day makes the series extra romantic but, unfortunately, all the more heartbreaking. Netflix's One Day miniseries is a recreation of the David Nicholls novel of the same name and the 2011 film adaptation starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess as lead characters Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew, respectively.

Leo Woodall's series "One Day" showcases the tragic love story of Dexter and Emma over twenty years. Woodall's characters, Jack in "The White Lotus" and Dexter in "One Day", share charismatic yet risky qualities. While Jack's story lacks depth, Dexter's journey in "One Day" offers a more complex and relatable character.

Leo Woodall has recently been in the spotlight for his new Netflix series, One Day, wherein he plays Dexter, an attractive and charismatic young man with various bad habits, who is undeniably similar to Woodall's other most recent role, Jack in The White Lotus season 2. Though Woodall's career began back in 2019, he first entered the public eye when he played a featured role in the second season of The White Lotus. And though he won't be returning to the anthology series, it seems that Woodall is continuing to make a name for himself with his new heartwrenching series.

If you loved 'One Day,' these 10 shows, like 'Normal People' and 'This Is Us,' will fill that void perfectly.

With One Day's brilliant cast and captivating script, it's no surprise that the show has garnered so much attention.

Ambika Mod shines as Emma, providing a more grounded and realistic performance compared to Anne Hathaway's portrayal. The episodic format of the Netflix series allows for more character development and a deeper exploration of the story compared to the 2011 film adaptation. The chemistry between the leads, Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod, is palpable and genuine, creating a more believable and passionate romance on screen.

Netflix's One Day isn't the first on-screen adaptation of the 2009 novel of the same name, but manages to iterate on the source material much better than the Anne Hathaway film. An emotional roller coaster, the original One Day book was a fast-seller when it first hit shelves, begging for a film adaptation due to its popularity and a narrative conducive to replication on the big screen. The story follows the relationship of leads Dexter and Emma as their lives intersect on the same day once a year,...

One Day, a TV miniseries remake of the Anne Hathaway romance film, has achieved success on Netflix's global top 10 for television, reaching no. 3 with 5.3 million views. Despite being released halfway through the counting period, One Day managed to rank higher than more established shows like House and Young Sheldon. The success of One Day can be attributed to its adaptation status, as it benefits from a devoted fan base of the original film and the popularity of romance content on Netflix.

The Netflix series One Day has become a hit on the platform. One Day is a TV miniseries remake of the 2011 Anne Hathaway romance film of the same name.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for One DayNetflix's One Day includes an impressive collection of filming locations thanks to its wide-ranging story. The show arguably ranks among the most narratively ambitious romantic dramas as it crosses not just different decades, but different countries. As a result, One Day's filming locations are not confined to a single city or studio, but incorporate multiple different environs – each with their own importance.

Based on the best-selling book by David Nicholls, One Day tells...

St. Swithin's Day is an important date in British folklore and has portentous powers according to some traditions, which adds a deeper significance to its role in the story of One Day on Netflix. The choice of setting the story on St. Swithin's Day provides structure to the complex narrative and avoids the clichés associated with other well-known calendar milestones like Valentine's Day or Christmas. The association of St. Swithin's Day with the weather acts as a narrative tool, using pathetic fallacy to give hints to the audience about what may be ahead for the characters based on the meteorological phenomena.

Warning: Contains potential Spoilers for One DayNetflix's romantic drama One Day revolves around the real celebration of St. Swithin's Day, but the date is more than just an arbitrary plot point for the show. As discussed in the series, St. Swithin's Day is an important date in British folklore,...

Note: This article contains major spoilers for "One Day."

In 2011, Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess starred in a romantic drama called "One Day," about two friends who meet up on July 15 every year for 20 years, slowly falling in love in the process. While this may sound like the rosier version of 1978's "Same Time, Next Year," it is actually an adaptation of the novel "One Day" by David Nicholls. It was a modest hit at the box office but underwhelmed critics, and with Hathaway appearing in both "The Dark Knight Rises" and her Academy Award-winning turn in "Les Misérables" the following year, "One Day" has mostly been forgotten by the general public. One of the most common complaints lobbied against the film was that the 20-year timeline was too big to be condensed for a movie, but limited series weren't as plentiful in 2011 as they are now.

Over a decade later,...

Warning: Spoilers for One Day.

Dexter and Emma finally end up together after 11 years of friendship and struggle to conceive a child. Emma tragically dies in a car accident, leaving Dexter devastated and struggling with grief. Dexter reflects on his time with Emma and finds solace in their memories and their daughter, keeping Emma's presence alive.

Netflix’s One Day is the latest adaptation of the 2009 bestselling novel of the same name by David Nicholls. Previously adapted into a feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, the new series is a much better iteration of the story according to recent critical reviews. The show follows Dexter (Leo Woodall) and Emma (Ambika Mod), who meet on the evening of their college graduation and spend the night with one another before going their separate ways. The series then revisits the duo on the anniversary of their meeting on July 15 (St. Swithin's...

“One Day,” Netflix’s new romantic drama series based on the David Nicholls novel, debuted in the third position on the streamer’s weekly rankings. During the Feb. 5-11 viewing window, its first four days of availability, the series hit 5.3 million views.

It followed “Griselda,” the No. 1 title for the third week in a row with 10.3 million views, and Season 1 of “The Tourist” with 6.8 million views. The BBC comedy series first appeared on the Top 10 last week, when it was added to Netflix after previously being dropped by Max. Netflix will debut a second season on Feb. 24.

The No. 4 title was “Alexander: The Making of a God,” which hit 3.5 million views in its first full week of availability. Next was “Fool Me Once,” which last week landed in ninth place on Netflix’s list of the Top 10 most popular English-language TV series of all time. The series reached 3.3 million views during the Feb.

One Day, a popular TV show on Netflix, is not based on a true story despite its realistic feel. The show is actually adapted from a book written by David Nicholls and was previously made into a movie. The characters of Dexter and Emma in One Day are loosely inspired by different people from Nicholls' own life.

Netflix’s One Day TV show was a big hit with viewers thanks to its engaging story and relatable characters, which raised questions about the inspiration behind the show. Netflix is home to the British TV series One Day, starring Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod. One Day tells the story of Emma (Mob) and Dexter (Woodall), two British students at the University of Edinburgh who spent the day before graduation together. The day was July 15th, 1988, and from then on, the series catches up with them on the same day over the course of 20 years.

You’ll have to have listened to last weeks’ Pilot+ to hear our review of One Day but fear not if you didn’t catch that, because stars Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall join us this week to discuss Netflix’s adaptation of the hit David Nicholls book. And speaking of turbulent romances, Alice And Jack comes to Channel 4 this week and sees Domhnall Gleeson and Andrea Riseborough as a pair of star-crossed lovers. BBC1’s Kin, on the other hand, sees an entirely different kind of turmoil as the Kinsella clan go to war (again), and Channel 5’s Too Good To Be True explores the perils of unvetted employment (but does allow James to set up a terrible culinary pun).

Finally, Kay’s postbag management takes a turn for the meta and we look at side-eye references in your favourite shows.

A year before One Day author David Nicholls published the novel that made his name, his adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s 19th century novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles aired on BBC One. Years later, Nicholls described Tess to The Guardian as the book that changed his life:

“It was the first book I adapted for the screen and gave me the confidence to write something other than comedy. Adaptation does that sometimes – gives you a hand-up into new territory. Also Chapter 15 contains the germ of the idea for One Day, for which I will always be grateful.”

That germ of an idea was a quote from Tess, which is included among One Day’s many epigraphs, and it also finds its way into the final episode of Nicole Taylor’s new 14-episode Netflix adaptation starring Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall.

‘Is it autobiographical?’ is usually a question that female novelists can’t escape, but when David Nicholls published One Day in 2009, it also plagued him. Perhaps writing in the romantic genre encouraged interviewers to grant Nicholls honorary-woman status? Lucky him.

One Day is the story of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew, whose lives we dip into on the same date each year for a couple of decades. They first meet as students at their Edinburgh University graduation ball in 1988, after which their lives weave in and out of each other’s all the way into their mid-30s. The book was a word-of-mouth hit that was made into a very middling film in 2011, and has since been adapted into a terrific 14-part Netflix series starring This is Going to Hurt’s Ambika Mod and The White Lotus’ Leo Woodall.
