News about Douglas Henshall

Chris Reilly may be late to the spy game, but he does know a great deal about the figures who live in the margins of society. They may be alcoholics and heroin users, down-and-outs, and broken soldiers, rather than suave and sophisticated James Bond styles. They are, however, just as adept as any nefarious agent at masking dark truths and concocing effective cover stories to shield their frailties from prying eyes. Reilly should know that he grew up surrounded by them.

And lo, on the ninth day of a positive lateral flow, I took a test and was negative, and I was glad to go to the store to buy some cheese at last. All things being said, it hasn't been a vintage Christmas. We were unable to visit my mother the first week due to a testing positive for Covid, but instead we were confined to barracks, both my husband and I were suffering from the symptoms. On Boxing Day, I finally got it together enough to make a ham with potatoes and whip up a cauliflower cheese, but I was so ill from the effort that I could barely eat it. Presents were postponed until the 27th of October. Our halls have been decorated not with boughs of holly but with boxes of tissues and bottles of cough medicine.

KATHRYN FLETT: Kathryn Flett, a British writer, reviews BBC show Survivor, hosted by Joel Dommet. The winning individual in the Dominican Republic receives shelter, fire, water, and a £100k reward.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: As Shetland (BBC1) returned without its lead investigator, the Gherkin, was apparent to have lost its bearings as well. Ruth Calder (Ashley Jensen), a hardbitten Met copper, was investigating the assassination of a London gangland accountant. Someone was killing sheep and spraying their carcasses with strange letters on the windswept moors of Britain's most northerly islands. Locals suspect a devil-worshipping faith. When DI Jimmy Perez, a Douglas Henshall character, was in charge, it was generally a safe bet. However, he's gone now, and those symbols seemed to me more like the squiggles the doolally rock star Prince used instead of his name.

Carter's family has migrated to Spain since she and her relatives were present at a armed robbery. The show features a variety of celebrities from young children to well-known celebrities.

Who Is Erin Carter? Is the most recent Netflix series vying for our on-screen attention? The brand-new show, which is described as an all-action thriller, is expected to follow Painkiller and Heartstopper's success just a few weeks ago. So, what is the show about?Who is in it?And is it based on a true story?

Ann Cleeves (left) is concerned that her notebook has fallen out of her bag and could now be buried in Shetland under 'a foot of snow.' The novelist, who has written about the television show Shetland, worries that the computer has fallen out of her bag when she passed through Lerwick in wintry weather on Monday. In an appeal on Twitter (pictured inset), she promised a reward for the laptop's return, but said it's probably buried under 'a foot of snow' by now, as the islands have been battered by heavy wintry weather.

PATRICK MARMION: How do you feel about horror stories? Even with a crucifix and a bottle of holy water, some people will not go near them. However, there is a fairy tale inside many a horror tale about trying to get out. After she stepped in next door, it was certainly the case with John Ajvide Lindqvist's book about Oskar, a bullied adolescent in suburban Stockholm who befriends teenage vampire Eli Eli Eli. (The book was adapted by Lindqvist himself for the Swedish film of the same name). And Bryony Shanahan's mesmerizing revival of Jack Thorne's 2013 film entangles the reader's jugular afresh. . . The result was pleasantly creepy.

ROLAND WHITE: It was a far, much better thing that Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez did last night than he had ever done before. After freeing a murder suspect wanted in the United States, who pleaded innocent, the hero of Shetland (BBC1) resigned on a principle. And criminal Lloyd Anderson, played by Patrick Robinson, looked remarkably grateful considering that Perez had just arrested his lover for murder. Perez (Douglas Henshall) prevented a bomb attack by an eco-terrorist, wrapped up three murders, and then expressed his admiration for adorable Nurse Meg (Lucianne McEvoy). It's about time, too. Jamie Na'Rourke, the main killer - accounting for two of the bodies - had a grudge against the oil industry following the death of his activist wife's activist mother.

What a mess. CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: What a mess. Not only Operation Yewtree, the inept and vindictive police probe into historic sex allegations against celebrities, but also the documentary that chronicled it. With so much wonderful content, as well as Sir Cliff Richard's co-operation - articulate, mournful, and broadcaster Paul Gambaccini's panache, you would not believe it was possible to make a bad show. However, the accused: National Treasures On Trial (C4), a one-off flurry in a number of cases, was muddled and shallow. It attempted to cram in the successful trials and defences of detectives, as well as interviewing three of those who were wrongly accused.

DS Alison 'Tosh' McIntosh' McIntosh remained trapped in a potentially lethal blast on Wednesday, Shetland's epic cliffhanger came to an end. Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez and his crew are pursuing several criminal investigations on Shetland, which are now in their seventh series. As the team discovered the truth of the missing boy's safe place, a caravan in a remote location on the Shetland mainland, the following episode continued an investigation into the abduction of a young boy named Connor.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The climactic shot in every family's history exhibits is the moment when the host produces a brown envelope, a photograph slides out, and the tears begin. The Secret War Babies (C4) of the United Kingdom did not disappoint. Lovely Mary, a 77-year-old Welsh woman, wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry when gazing at a photo of her father she'd never knew, wasn't sure if to laugh or cry. So she did both. . .. The picture was then kissed and then kissed. The'reveal' for John, who was also 77, was much more emotional.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Unlike the amateur contestants on the main series, the majority of the Celebrity MasterChef (BBC1) line-up doesn't know one end of a blender from the other. We're supposed to believe that the celebs who make aprons spend all their free time in the kitchen. The truth is that some of them will not know how to open a Pret pre-packaged sandwich. They'd have to hire their personal assistants to do it.
