This heart-stopping postmodern-Twilight Zone anthology series from Channel 4 is the only TV show that I have unequivocally recommended to every person I know, and they were always like, "Cool, where do I watch it," and there was never a good answer: until today.
The BBC tried to give fans of the show Sherlock and early holiday present but unfortunately something went delightfully wrong.
For the first time in six years, Doctor Who has enlisted a woman to write an episode. SIX. YEARS.
Lilias Adie died in the 1700s, when fear of witches ran rampant and the belief that those who had had their souls sucked by the devil (through their teat, I have been informed) would come back to exact vengeance after death was much more common. But her torment didn't end there.
Just a little memo for everyone: We've got a couple new, improved pronunciations of "penguin," courtesy of handsome alien otter man Benedict Cumberbatch.
A fox has been stealing shoes from an English suburb and depositing them, one by one, into a mystified woman's garden. It's gotten so bad she's put a table out in front of her house, so passing neighbors can retrieve their shoes.
Ditch all your "uphill in the snow both ways" stories, because there's a new, wonderful way to remind the teens in your life just how easy they've got it: Tell them how miserable it was to be a teenager in Medieval Europe. Because mom wasn't giving you gas money and there was a good chance you'd die of the plague, too.
HOLY. CRAP. Attention Cumberbitches and fans of the BBC's most attractively-cast television series of all time! The very first (and only official) Sherlock convention is finally landing on our shores. I know, I know… just try to keep it together, alright!
If there's two things we know for certain about the British, it's A.) that they're bad at keeping America and B.) that they love love love their comedy panel shows. While the medium of television has struggled to find its footing in the U.S. since the 1970s, TV series featuring panels of celebrities competing in…
There's a certain stereotype about the young people of the United Kingdom, and that is that they are perpetually blotto. Drunk as a skunk. Like, seven sheets to to the wind. Wild enough that the binge-drinkingest American college kid stands back and says, "Damn, buddy, you have got a problem."
Parents in the U.K. are currently upset with the BBC over its new live-action children's program Topsy and Tim and the tired way the show portrays gender roles. Based on a popular children's book series of the same name, Topsy and Tim tells the story of an adventurous brother and sister who are always finding their…
Chris Stark, that BBC Radio 1 interogator who made the universe cringe when he awkwardly interviewed a remarkably gracious Mila Kunis, is up to his old tricks, this time interviewing Jennifer Aniston ahead of the UK release of We’re the Millers. Spoiler alert: this interview is just awkward. Jennifer Aniston…
In spite of all the criticism Hollywood has faced recently for its awful female-to-male director ratio, women are still being widely discriminated against in the film industry. Maybe, being a generally optimistic person, you might be inclined to think that things are a little more equal outside of the US. What about…
Today, gentlemen, we were reminded why we lug our reputations as troglodytes well into the 21st century. A woman named Marion Bartoli proved athletic enough to win a singles title at Wimbledon and was thereupon described to BBC Radio 5 listeners as something other than "a looker." Because, you see, it is not enough to…
Specifically, Helena Bonham Carter and Dominic West. Fun! Although the BBC tends to be a little bit more understated than, um, Lifetime, it still seems to have some camp to it. Which is only appropriate, considering White Diamonds-era Liz was camp personified. AND, as Vulture points out, like the Lindz version,…
It's like ABC knew that you haven't had enough Alyssa Milano in your life lately, or that you desperately miss Sun from Lost and really wish that she had gotten a chance to be sexy on that show, or that Rookie Blue isn't enough to keep you going through a long summer slump of television because BEHOLD: here is …

In response to criticism that it relies far too heavily on male sources, the BBC has taken the famed "binder full of women" technology into the 21st century by launching a database — and an accompanying YouTube channel — of female experts on a variety of topics, with the goal of increasing the female presence on…
A BBC radio show compiled a list of the 100 most powerful women in Britain, and—surprise, surprise!—the Queen is NUMBER ONE! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! San Dimas High School Football Rules!!!
Bonham Carter is an inspired choice for Taylor, and Burton will no doubt be perfectly played by
Jimmy McNulty
Dominic West. The movie will revolve around Liz and Dick's 1983 Broadway revival of Noel Coward's play Private Lives. If you'd like a little history on the intense, fascinating relationship between Taylor and…
