https://www.joe.co.uk/entertainment/...se-date-152042 Black Mirror In case you weren't aware, we're very excited for the release of the fourth season of Black Mirror. Ever since the show switched over to Netflix, we've seen it take a massive leap in scope and talent, and as it ventures into the latest six-part series, it takes another, even bigger and greater leap. With the director's chair filled with folk who have worked on some amazing movies (The Road, 30 Days Of Night) and some of the best TV out there (Sherlock, Peaky Blinders), in front of the camera, the episodes will have some mighty acting talent, too. From the teasers we've seen so far, we know that we can expect the darkest of dark horrors, right up to what looks like it could be a fun digi-romance (maybe this season's San Junipero?), and then there is a weird Galaxy Quest-esque, Star Trek parody looking one that seems to have a very ominous undertone that we can't quite put our finger on... What we didn't know yet - at least up until today - was when exactly the show was coming out. And of course, it would stand to reason that it will actually arrive on Netflix right when we're all feeling the absolute worst about ourselves, all bloated from too much turkey and seeing the return to work/school /college (delete as appropriate) on the horizon. Not to worry though, because at least we'll have the Black Mirror to keep us company. All six episodes will be available on the streaming service from Friday 29 December. |

Fans of Gothic melodrama films and bio-pics might find this enjoyable Feud: Bette and Joan Part 1 (of 8): Sat 16 Dec - BBC2 - 9pm - 9:55pm Part 2 is shown immediately afterwards (see below) "Summary New series. Emmy-nominated drama, exploring the now-legendary rivalry between celebrated Hollywood actresses Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. The story picks up with the pair in 1962, as Joan comes to realise that good roles are not being written for women of her age. Chancing upon Henry Farrell's novel What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Joan decides she has found the perfect part to showcase her abilities, and convinces director Robert Aldrich to champion a movie adaptation. However, for the film to proceed, Joan realises she will need the talents - and raw star power - of her bitter rival Bette. Starring Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon Cast & Crew Joan Crawford - Jessica Lange Bette Davis - Susan Sarandon Hedda Hopper - Judy Davis Mamacita - Jackie Hoffman Robert Aldrich - Alfred Molina Jack Warner - Stanley Tucci Pauline Jameson - Alison Wright Olivia de Havilland - Catherine Zeta-Jones Joan Blondell - Kathy Bates BD Merrill - Kiernan Shipka Gary Merrill - Mark Valley Peter - Reed Diamond Marty - Ken Lerner Adam Friedman - Joel Kelley Dauten Writer - Ryan Murphy" Part 2 (of 8): Sat 16 Dec - BBC2 - 9:55pm - 10:45pm "Filming on What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? gets under way, and while their egos remain at war, both Joan Crawford and Bette Davis can at least agree that a young, attractive actress in the supporting cast simply has to go. Meanwhile, studio executive Jack Warner is delighted with director Robert Aldrich's progress, and encourages him to stoke the flames of conflict between his leading ladies, in an attempt to enhance their on-screen performances. Drama, starring Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon, with Stanley Tucci and Alfred Molina."

That sounds fascinating as I find the stories, whether real or apocryphal, about their tempestuous relationship to be a good blend of funny and terrifying!

It'll probably be one to watch and then buy, something I keep intending to do with The Night Manager.

There's still plenty of opportunities to sit in front of the TV with the family, whether you're watching Shaun the Sheep, Harry Potter, Cinderella, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Mary Poppins, E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, Maleficent or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not to mention all the TV shows, such as Attenborough and the Giant Elephant, which will be of interest to many.
