Top Gear presenter Chris Harris has ripped open the bonnet on one of the darkest chapters in the motoring show’s history — and it makes ugly listening for the BBC.

Appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience, Harris revealed that he warned the BBC that “someone is going to die” on Top Gear unless health and safety standards were improved.

Harris said he made his concerns known months before co-host Freddie Flintoff suffered serious facial injuries during an accident at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey on December 13, 2022.

“Three months before the accident, I’d gone to the BBC and said: ‘Unless you change something, someone’s going to die on this show,’” Harris told Rogan.

The automotive journalist said he felt a responsibility to the safety of his co-presenters, Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness, because he was the most experienced driver of the three.

He continued: “I said: ‘If we carry on,...

BBC Studios have formed a new division for U.K. entertainment to be headed by Suzy Lamb, Variety has learned.

The new unit comes after Studios, the BBC’s commercial arm which produces content sold around the world, merged its entertainment/music and factual entertainment/events divisions, which produced content including the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, King Charles III’s coronation party and shows such as “Strictly Come Dancing” and “The Weakest Link.”

By splitting off U.K. entertainment the aim is to allow Lamb and her team to focus on the development/production/format sales pipeline more efficiently. Lamb, who was previously managing director of the entertainment and music unit, will oversee creative, commercial and operational strategy. She will report to Matt Forde, head of BBC Studios’ global entertainment business.

Among the shows the new U.K. division will produce are the BBC’s Glastonbury coverage, “Strictly Come Dancing” and “Alison Hammond’s Big Weekend.

Soccer Aid for Unicef 2024, broadcast live from Stamford Bridge, London, last week has raised £15 million, for Unicef’s vital work helping give children around the world happy, healthy, and play-filled childhoods.

Thanks to the generous UK public, Unicef UK supporters, ITV1, Itvx and Stv viewers, this year’s amount sees the current total, raised since 2006 – when Unicef UK Ambassador Robbie Williams founded the concept – hit a record fundraising milestone of over £106 million for children worldwide. This year, with thanks to the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, every donation made up to £4 million was doubled.

The hotly anticipated match took place at the sold-out Stamford Bridge stadium in London – returning for the third time in Soccer Aid for Unicef history and welcoming back over 40,000 fans. The match ended 6-3 to England, with the Three Lions taking the win for the first time in six years. World XI keep the overall...

Exclusive: Popular Channel 4 panel show 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown appears to be the latest to have been hit by the network’s slowdown.

Deadline is told that Channel 4 has been sitting on the current series since it was delivered last year and there are no plans to record a new series this year.

“We have already shot episodes which are ready to air,” said a spokeswoman. “To keep the show current we will shoot further episodes nearer transmission.”

Channel 4 wasn’t able to say when the new episodes will be shot.

Produced by Would I Like To You? maker Zeppotron, Cats Does Countdown is a Jimmy Carr-hosted mash-up of comedy panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats and daytime quiz Countdown. It has been a ratings success, is one of Channel 4’s longest running unscripted shows and has aired more than 150 episodes over the past 12 years.

Exclusive: Channel 4 has delivered the verdict on which of its biggest 2023 entertainment launches have landed a second season.

Tempting Fortune, the Paddy McGuinness-hosted adventure reality series, has been given the greenlight for a supersized second season, although U.S. co-pro partner Roku is no longer involved. Danny Dyer-hosted Scared of the Dark, in which celebrities are locked in a pitch-black space for a week, will no longer be seeing the light of day and has been axed.

The move ends a several-months-long period of speculation over which major 2023 launches would be given the nod for Season 2 during which Channel 4 also culled Studio Lambert’s Traitors-esque Rise and Fall and its version of U.S. History channel hit Alone, the latter revealed by Deadline last week.

The BBC has revealed more details about this year’s Comic Relief telethon, which will be broadcast on 15th March on BBC One.

Comic Relief launched in 1985 with a telethon that has since become embedded in British culture. Known as Red Nose Day, on account of the red noses sold as part of the appeal, over the years this has led to many classic comic moments, from The Young Ones singing Livin’ Doll with Cliff Richard, to Johnny Depp and Sting appearing in The Vicar Of Dibley, to Billy Connolly running naked through Trafalgar Square and Mr Bean infiltrating both Blind Date, and a Torvill and Dean dance routine.

Lenny Henry, who co-founded Comic Relief with Richard Curtis, recently revealed that he will be stepping down as host after this year’s telethon. Henry said of his decision that “when we first started Comic Relief back in 1985, I never dreamed...

Fremantle UK CEO Amelia Brown, who herself was set to exit the Britain’s Got Talent maker last year, said Harris and Hutchinson have “been behind some of the most talked about and cutting-edge shows of recent years and we are thrilled to welcome them back to the Fremantle...

Long running BBC quiz show A Question Of Sport has been axed after more than five decades on the air.

The BBC have confirmed that A Question Of Sport has ceased production after fifty three years on the air.

It began in 1970, with David Vine as host, and although the show was not on screens for two years in the 1970s, it had remained in continuous production since 1978.

A Question Of Sport really took off under the stewardship of David Coleman in the 1980s – the 1989 episode featuring Princess Anne as one of the guests got a whopping nineteen million viewers.

Former tennis player Sue Barker then hosted the show for 24 years, before being replaced by Paddy McGuinness in 2021. This was also when the show underwent a significant revamp, with non-sporting celebrities being invited to appear as guests, transforming the show into more of a light entertainment programme.

The most recent...

The BBC has confirmed that it has binned its sports quiz show A Question of Sport after a 53-year run made it one of the world’s longest-running TV programs.

Although a BBC spokesperson stressed that production had only been stopped for now – that it “was not the final whistle” and that the show could return in the future – it seems the towel has finally been thrown in, after falling ratings and budget cuts meant the show was no longer the primetime viewing juggernaut it used to be.

The show, a simple format which saw two teams of sporting stars compete to answer a series of sports questions, was first aired in 1970, presented by sports presenter David Vine. Later hosts included presenter David Coleman, former tennis star Sue Barker and comedian Paddy McGuinness.

At its height in the 1980s, the show drew huge audiences. One episode in 1987 when the guests...

Amazon Prime Video’s automotive series “The Grand Tour” is not moving forward at the streamer — at least with its current hosts, former “Top Gear” trio Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.

Sources tell Variety that Clarkson, May and Hammond have just returned from filming the show’s final special in Zimbabwe, which will launch at a later date next year and conclude the fifth season. A special set in Mauritania will launch before that, in February. Though options to continue the series with different hosts are being explored, it has not yet been greenlit. The “Grand Tour” news follows the announcement earlier this week that Clarkson’s other show on Amazon Prime Video, “Clarkson’s Farm,” is getting a fourth season.

Clarkson said in a statement to The Times on Thursday, “We’re done. I have reviewed cars on TV since 1989. That’s 34 years. And after next year, I...

After the BBC revealed that “Top Gear” won’t be returning “for the foreseeable future,” former presenter James May has said that the series needs “a bit of a rethink.”

In an interview on the BBC’s “Today” podcast, May — who hosted “Top Gear” alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond for over a decade — said that the show must be revamped whenever it does return.

“My honest view is — I can say this now — it does need a bit of a rethink,” May told the BBC. “It’s time for a new format and a new approach to the subject because the subject has not been this interesting, I suspect, since the car has been invented.”

On Tuesday, the BBC announced that “Top Gear” had officially been put on pause following a halt in production after presenter Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff was injured in an on-set accident in December. Flintoff had...

Top Gear, which was once among the most profitable crown jewels in the BBC’s programming portfolio and a show that has run for some 46 years, is being put on an extended hiatus.

The British public broadcaster revealed Tuesday that the flagship motoring show would not be returning for the “foreseeable future” and that it had “decided to rest” the series.

The news comes following a high-speed car crash involving host Freddie Flintoff during filming of the show that led to production of the latest season being halted.

The accident — Flintoff’s third on the show — occurred in late 2022 and saw the former cricketer having to be airlifted to a hospital. In October, press reports confirmed that BBC Studios, the commercial arm of the BBC which produces Top Gear, had reached a compensation settlement of 9 million pounds ($11.3 million) for the injuries that Flintoff sustained.

The decision to take the series...

Hit automotive series “Top Gear” is being put in park “for the foreseeable future,” the BBC revealed on Tuesday.

The news comes after presenter Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff was injured in an on-set accident in December, resulting in a pause in production on the show’s 34th season. Flintoff had been a presenter on the series since 2019, alongside Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris.

“Given the exceptional circumstances, the BBC has decided to rest the U.K. show for the foreseeable future,” the statement reads. “The BBC remains committed to Freddie, Chris and Paddy who have been at the heart of the show’s renaissance since 2019, and we’re excited about new projects being developed with each of them. We will have more to say in the near future on this. We know resting the show will be disappointing news for fans, but it is the right thing to do. All other...

Top Gear will not be seen for the “foreseeable future” on TV, the BBC has said.

The show has been off air since host Andrew Flintoff picked up “life-alteringly significant” injuries following a crash, which led to a £9M ($11.2M) payout for the cricketing legend and a health and safety review.

In the past few minutes, the BBC has put out a statement saying it has “decided to rest the UK show for the foreseeable future,” citing “exceptional circumstances.”

The corporation said it remains committed to Flintoff and his co-hosts Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris, “and we’re excited about new projects being developed with each of them,” with “more to say in the near future on this.”

“We know resting the show will be disappointing news for fans, but it is the right thing to do,” said the statement. “All other Top Gear activity remains unaffected by this hiatus including international formats,...

Thierry Frémaux is weeks away from unveiling the line-up for the 2023 festival, which is expected to debut Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and new Indiana Jones film, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

During an interview discussing the forthcoming edition, Fremaux was asked about the recent Oscars ceremony, which saw Everything Everywhere All at Once win seven awards, including Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh and Best Director for duo Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan.

“I thought the ceremony was very good and I was happy to see Michelle Yeoh rewarded and disappointed that Steven Spielberg wasn’t, because his film is a love letter to cinema,” Frémaux told Variety, referring to the director’s The Fabelmans.

He said he did not “understand” why Triangle of Sadness, Ruben Östlund’s internationally produced Best Picture nominee,...

Netflix has apparently been served a legal notice over a “derogatory” remark allegedly made about Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit in The Big Bang Theory.

Indian political analyst Mithun Vijay Kumar claimed he has issued a notice to the streaming giant asking it to remove the first episode of season two, in which Kunal Nayyar’s character Raj Koothrapalli and Jim Parsons’s character Sheldon Cooper compare actors Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit.

While having a conversation, Sheldon calls Aishwarya Rai a “poor man’s Madhuri Dixit”.

In response, Raj says: “Aishwarya Rai is a goddess, by comparison, Madhuri Dixit is a leprous prostitute”.

Kumar says that the comments made against Dixit are “offensive and derogatory”.

“As a fan of Madhuri Dixit since childhood, I was deeply disturbed by the dialogue,” he wrote on Twitter. “I found it highly derogatory and offensive towards Indian culture and women.

“So I asked my...

Jeremy Clarkson has called on the BBC to “save” Top Gear.

Last week, it was announced that filming will not resume on the current series of Top Gear after presenter Freddie Flintoff was involved in an accident during filming in December.

The former cricketer was airlifted to hospital after crashing while shooting a car review at the show’s test track in Surrey’s Dunsfold Park Aerodrome. You can read more about the accident here.

Writing in his column in The Sun, former host Clarkson said that “Top Gear has to be saved”.

“There will, of course, be an inquiry into the appalling accident that has ended Freddie Flintoff’s spell as a host of Top Gear,” he said, addressing reports that the former England cricketer will now leave the motoring programme for good.

“From what I can gather, it was absolutely horrific and it will take a very long...

On Sunday (26 March), Renner posted a clip to Twitter in which he can be seen walking.

“I now have to find Other things to occupy my time so my body can recover from my will,” the Hawkeye star wrote, accompanying the post with the hashtags: “#Mindful #Intended #Recovery.”

The following day, Ruffalo retweeted the post, adding: “Amazing. An inspiration to all. #Inspired.”

Paddy McGuinness has opened up about the advice shared with him by his Top Gear co-host Freddie Flintoff before taking on his role presenting A Question of Sport.

In 2021, the comedian took over as the host of the BBC quiz show following the controversial departure of long-standing presenter Sue Barker.

Appearing on the Monday Mile podcast with snowboarder Amy Fuller, McGuinness spoke about the “pressure” of the job, which he said he “felt more” than with Top Gear.

“I remember Freddie, when I got the job, he rang me up and he said, ‘Oh God, be careful,’” he recalled, during a hike with Fuller.

“We were talking about how it can be talked about online and stuff. He said he stood in on a sports breakfast show... for a month and he said the abuse he got. He said, ‘I’m an ex-sports person, Ashes and all that, and even I got abuse!

Hilary Duff has said that “everything that could go wrong went wrong” during Neil Patrick Harris’s cameo on How I Met Your Father.

Harris will return as Barney Stinson – the character he starred as during the nine-season run of How I Met Your Mother – on Tuesday (28 March) night’s episode of the spin-off series.

Discussing Harris’s cameo, series star Duff spoke to Entertainment Weekly about working with the Himym alum.

“He had so much to do that day, he had pages and pages of dialogue, and everything that could go wrong went wrong,” Duff recalled.

Listing some incidents that occurred, Duff explained: “Some crew guy got hurt and there was an ambulance, it was pouring down rain, of course on the only night that we had him, and we’re outside, and we’d already shot stuff leading up to this night where it wasn’t raining.

Chloe Bailey has responded to critics of her Swarm sex scene, arguing that the entire situation was “blown out of proportion” due to the fact that she’s a woman.

Donald Glover’s new Amazon Prime Video series features a star-studded cast of Bailey, Billie Eilish, Rory Culkin and Dominique Fishback, who plays Dre, an obsessed, Houston-based fan who goes on a murderous rampage over her favourite musician.

Minutes into its debut episode – released on 17 March – Dre’s sister Marissa (Bailey) is shown having sex, which was condemned by some viewers for its explicit nature.

Speaking to radio host Big Boy on a recent episode of his Big Boy’s Neighborhood show, the 27-year-old singer and actor brushed off the backlash, saying: “I’m an actress and I feel like it’s about art.”

“It’s not about seeing me in the mirror of that scene,” Bailey argued. “But I think...
