MOVIE ABOUT GOING BACK INTIME TO KILL HITLER SERIES
Tonight’s headliner is Britpop royalty Pulp, who have reformed for a series of gigs this summer. It is wonderfully performed and lavishly produced.įorget the tent and skip the ferry: Sky Arts kick off three days of highlights from the Isle of Wight music festival. The dashing Jamie (Sam Heughan) must mount a rescue, but the nascent flames of the American Revolutionary War prove a complication. The first episode of the seventh and penultimate series of the time-travel romance finds Claire (Caitríona Balfe) imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit. This engaging documentary charts the late Lee’s journey from his Depression-era childhood to Marvel Comics and becoming the most recognisable comic-book writer ever. Without Stan Lee there would be no Spider-Man, no Iron Man, no Incredible Hulk. Nonetheless, it is a fairly familiar road paved with blokey banter and budget-busting set-pieces. They must also do it in ludicrously inappropriate cars: meaning that James May must navigate motorways in a tiny two-door Crosley Convertible. In search of a road trip no one has ever done before, the petrolhead trio plot a 1,400-mile course between Gdańsk in Poland and Bled, Slovenia. For Australian PM Rebecca (Rachel Gordon), however, she is the gift republicanism has been waiting for. Although the character herself can feel too jarring to sustain a six-part series (all episodes are available on iPlayer from today). Tate’s brash performance (her natural accent often breaks through her posh one) is by far the best thing about it. “I look like I finished a marathon and celebrated with a stroke!” shouts Georgiana in one scene, aghast at unflattering photos of her arriving in Australia in the middle of summer. In the opening scene of tonight’s premiere – Tate’s first BBC comedy in eight years – she ruins a royal visit to a school by vomiting over a child, who tells her, “You smell like my grandad… He was an alcoholic.” To save the monarchy, it is decided that she be sent into exile – as the new Queen of Australia. Her latest creation is HRH Princess Georgiana, the rude, crude, hard-partying black sheep of a fictional British royal family. Just take the petulant teenager Lauren Cooper (“am I bovvered?!”), or the obnoxious, foul-mouthed Nan. Catherine Tate has always had an eye for colourful comic characters.
