News about Bill Bailey

Daytime TV husband and wife duo Richard and Judy (inset) were the first to secure an interview with OJ Simpson (main image, on their show) after he was infamously acquitted of double-murder in 1996. It was announced today that OJ Simpson died aged 76 after a short battle with prostate cancer, surrounded by his family at his home in Las Vegas on Wednesday night. The famous American football player and actor was charged with the murders of of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. 

"Every kind of stereotype is on display in Boarders (BBC), a comedy-drama about five Black students from South London who were escorted into an impossibly posh public school,' Christopher Stevens adds: "All the leads do their best with these paper-thin portions and give them more depth despite the cliches.' However, the supporting cast members don't have a chance.'

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The ones you don't think about are the ones you don't think about. Ibra-hea, a retired managing director whose seven-year-old daughters are conjoined, could not have predicted the challenges ahead. Marieme and Ndeye, who were both born at the pelvis, have significant and inevitable medical needs. It was evident from birth, since they weren't meant to live more than a few days. Schools, transport, and care at home, all of which pose significant challenges, and the one-off documentary Inseparable Sisters (BBC1) did not shy away from any of them. However, only people with direct knowledge of the condition could tell how difficult it would be to give the twins something they love - trendy clothing. The charm of this series was not only the sweetness of Marieme and Ndeye's gyrical personalities, but also the excitement of everyone who chipped in to assist.

Sir Trevor McDonald is expected to return to television, appearing on Bill Bailey's travel show some 16 years after retiring. At the end of the month, the newsreader, 84, who was ITV's top broadcaster for almost 30 years before stepping down in 2007, will appear on rival Channel 4's digital station More4 in San Francisco. Bailey, 59, will take the Essex countryside for a ramble, discovering the area's best pub walks. Sir Trevor, who was honoured for his contribution to television in 1999, will talk about his life in Trinidad before emigrating as a young reporter in the 1960s.

You won't learn about this in the first aid class. Ben Mitchell is choking on his own blood, while father Phil is hysterical. Sonia calmly cut into Ben's chest with a Biro knife and the tube. Bring The Drama (BBC1), the first test of comedian Bill Bailey's reality competition for eight amateur actors, had the contestants re-enacting one of EastEnders' classic scenes, where Sonia Fowler saves Ben's life after a shooting. The Lord has no idea if this will work in real life. Bill didn't seem to agree that it was a good idea. 'Don't try this at home,' he cautioned, as hundreds of BBC2 viewers were already searching for a pen and a pair of scissors.

Bring The Drama, BBC2's latest six-part reality show, showcases the talents of a diverse range of amateur would-be thespians from a variety of backgrounds and abilities, including a taxi driver, a barista, and a young deaf man who works in construction. They're mentored by Kelly Valentine Hendry, a well-known casting director who has worked on Bridgerton, Fleabag, and Broadchurch, as well as professional acting coach Gemma Crooks. Bill Bailey hosts the show, and the draw is that three of the eight performers will be invited to a company showcase where they can meet agents and take the first step toward achieving their dream.

Bill Bailey, 59, recalls the beauty of Wellsway, Keynsham, near Bath. We lived in a rambling Elizabethan house,' he said. Since three generations lived together, my stonemason grandfather built an annexe at the back for him and my grandmother. So my grandparents will go back to school, and my nurse Madryn, a nurse, will be cooking, and my GP father Christopher will be working. It was like an inquisition - they'd ask, "Have you had any tests?How did they go?What marks did you get?"'

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Bill Bailey's English accent has completely absorbed two days into his Australian Adventure, and his whole accent has been ingrained. He's gone native. 'Good on yer, mate,' cries at passers-by, who sounds more Australian than Dame Edna. Bill is a passionate traveller, as we saw a few years ago when he traveled to Iceland on Ch4's Travel Man, he seemed to enjoy it more than host Joe Lycett. However, when he has a script, he's at his best. Bill seemed to be asking the questions after speaking with the people he encountered - an Aboriginal Noongar nation elder and a paddle-boarding former basketball star. He introduced himself and got people talking with a rehearsed sally or two, but then responded with a slew of 'ah,' and 'oh.' That didn't appear to be relevant. The people of Western Australia are eager to talk. Perhaps that's a result of the poor population of 2.8 million people spread over a region 13 times the size of Great Britain. Bill may have been the first human they'd seen in weeks for some of them.

Many people are afraid of losing their jobs to a robot. Bill Bailey has even sounded the alarm bell for comedians, who has said that they must 'up their game' to keep artificial intelligence from beating AI. But can AI really come up with jokes that are as funny as those cracked by comedy giants such as Michael McIntyre, Peter Kay, or Jimmy Carr? MailOnline put this to the test by requiring ChatGPT to write jokes in the style of ten popular comedians. So, can you tell if these gags were scripted by AI or by your favourite comedian?

It has been one of the most popular shows on television for nearly two decades. And the cast of Strictly Come Dancing have earned themselves a handsome sum for their years of performing in front of the country. Although the show's professional dancers are paid from £35,000 to £50,000 per episode, they can still make more money from the live tour and any other TV contracts they may have.

After his fun-filled Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha on Saturday night's opening show, Strictly followers dubbed Krishnan Guru-Murthy a 'legend.' Boom Shack A Lack by Apache Indian had a 53-point lead over the Channel 4 News anchor, who had 22 points out of 40 with partner Lauren Oakley. Many viewers were raving over the 'groovy' appearance and predicting that his lovable character would help him win the competition.

I've been asked to do Strictly before, and it has never been a huge no. But this year, I think it's perhaps a mixture of post pandemic and the time of my life, considering that a lot of people have been going through tough times.'

Bill Bailey has revealed that he is still close to his ex Strictly Come Dancing partner Oti Mabuse.

After announcing that they are expecting their first child, Oti Mabuse and Marius Lepure had fun on Saturday at The Cotswolds. As she and her Romanian dancer husband, 40, smiled for photographs, the pregnant television actress, 33, covered her baby bump in a T-shirt promoting her dance classes. Oti tied a beige jumper around her waist with a skin-tight pair of black leggings and white trainers.

Krishnan Guru-Murphy has been named as the fourth celebrity in Strictly Come Dancing's upcoming film. On Saturday morning, Claudia Winkelman's BBC Radio 2 show announced the news. Confirming he has signed up for the BBC One dance programme, the journalist, 53, said: 'It's me Krishnan!'

Bill could be relied upon not to make unfunny jibes of royalty, and he also did a good job of inciting three young acolytes to work with stained glass. Mel Giedroyc's woodworking contest was not going to bombard them with raunchy jokes, but he kept a light tone, reminding everyone that they were supposed to be enjoying themselves rather than learning.

Bill Bailey, a multi-talented English comedian, was the unexpected champion of Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 (top inset). On BBC1, his most recent project is Extraordinary Portraits, in which he pairs artists with people working in the NHS. Bailey, an ardent art lover, birder, comedian, family man, and a surprisingly good dancer, has a lot in common with King Charles III (bottom inset).

EMPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Prince William may not be able to escape the extravaganza that his father suffered during his Prince of Wales investiture in 1969. The King last week, when unveiling the formal Letters Patent, he said he would honor William by putting a coronet upon his head and a gold ring on his finger, as well as a presenting a gold rod into his hand.'

Gordon Ramsay will continue to compete on Strictly Come Dancing before he gets old. In 2020, the celebrity chef, 56, was inspired by watching comedian Bill Bailey, who is also 56, win the show with professional dancer Oti Mabuse, 32. Tilly, 21, who appeared on social media as a celebrity, also attended pro Nikita Kuzmin 25, finishing in sixth place in 2021.

Following rumors that they might have split after Ms Tame's inability to post pictures of her fiance for at least nine months, the couple remained stable, according to the article.

Bill Bailey, Kevin Bridges, Ricky Gervais, and Stephen Fry's deaths in 2021 sparked a outpouring of tributes from the world of comedy, including close friend Bill Bailey, Kevin Bridges, and Stephen Fry. Lock's estate had a net worth of £4,084,911 and was supposed to be distributed to his relatives, according to Prosecu records. Anoushka and their three children should inherit the estate, according to Lock, who was to be held in a trust. Lock, a resident of Chertsey, Surrey, left school in the early 1980s and began working on construction sites, but he blamed skin cancer on overexposure to the sun. He recovered and decided to concentrate on a career in comedy.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council have approved the proposals. According to documents, Bailey and his wife of 24 years were initially granted planning permission for their scheme in 2018, but they were unable to continue with building work due to Covid restrictions.
