L'un des principaux avantages de l'automne résident dans la possibilité de passer des week-ends – idéalement pluvieux – à regarder des séries confortement installé sur son canapé ! Mais parmi les nouveautés attendues au mois de novembre, quelles sont celles à ne pas rater ? Voici un guide non exhaustif des fictions à suivre absolument. Les nouvelles séries Chocolat Amer - 3 novembre Produite par Salma Hayek, Chocolat Amer est une sorte de Roméo et Juliette version mexicaine. Tita et Pedro sont, ici, deux amants qui ne peuvent vivre leur amour sereinement à cause de lourdes traditions familiales. Une série en 6 épisodes proposée sur Max qui mélange réalisme magique et romance dramatique sur fond de cuisine traditionnelle ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeVLROw2SEo Citadel : Honey Bunny – 7 novembre Citadel : Honey Bunny est un nouveau spin-off de la série originelle américaine Citadelle, produite par les frères Russo. Une déclinaison indienne, à voir sur Prime Video, qui voit Honey, une actrice et Bunny, un cascadeur, des amoureux séparés, contraints d'unir leurs forces pour protéger leur fille, Nadia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp4TCAJDtyI La Cage – 8 novembre Avec La Cage, Netflix va distribuer une dose massive de testostérone ! Melvin Boomer interprète un jeune combattant de MMA qu'une victoire inopinée va pousser sur le devant de la scène. Créée par Franck Gastambide, la fiction met en scène de nombreuses légendes du MMA comme Jon Jones ou Georges Saint-Pierre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAtizowq4x4 Cat's Eyes – 11 novembre Attention, le 11 novembre, préparez-vous à chanter « Filles d'aujourd'hui, enfants de la forme » ! Un générique culte pour une fiction animée qui ne l'est pas moins : Cat's Eyes ! Et TF1 a eu la bonne idée de l'adapter en série télé en faisant appel à trois comédiennes de talent pour incarner les trois sœurs Chamade : Camille Lou interprète Tamara, Constance Labbé joue Sylia et Claire Romain prête ses traits à Alexia. Présentée en avant-première au Festival de la Rochelle 2024, Cat's Eyes est une fiction déclinée en 8 épisodes de 52 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLEHd1lub9M Three Pines – 12 novembre Armand Gamache est un brillant inspecteur, héros d'une saga littéraire imaginée par Louise Penny. Dans Three Pines, adaptation télé de ces romans à voir sur Polar+, il est incarné par Alfred Molina et au cours de cette mini-série de 8 épisodes, le policier au sens de l'observation aigu va enquêter dans un petit village québécois bien moins paisible qu'il n'y paraît. Grotesquerie – 13 novembre Nouvelle série de Ryan Murphy, Grotesquerie reprend les ingrédients qui ont fait le succès de celui qui a commencé à la télé américaine avec Popular : du mystère, de l'horreur et une dose de surnaturel. Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash-Betts) est une détective qui enquête sur une série de crimes qui va complètement la faire perdre pied. Désemparée, elle va se tourner vers Sœur Megan (Micaela Diamond) une religieuse journaliste au passé difficile. Grotesquerie sera non seulement une série à suivre sur Disney+ mais aussi un événement « people » puisqu'elle marquera les débuts en tant qu'acteur de Travis Kelce, footballeur américain, compagnon de Taylor Swift. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daV1NI7hxY0 The Chef – 14 novembre Huit mois après les événements du film – qui se présentait comme un long plan-séquence d'1h30 - Carly (Vinette Robinson) a pris les rênes du restaurant, le Point North, en emportant avec elle, une bonne partie de la brigade de Jones & Sons. Mais dans cette suite télévisée, la jeune cheffe doit relever un défi de taille : imposer son style dans un paysage gastronomique londonien ultra-concurrentiel. Nul doute qu'avec ses quatre épisodes de 52 minutes à découvrir sur Canal+, The Chef, la série, reprenne le rythme endiablé du film. Cross – 14 novembre Brillant détective, psychologue fasciné par les criminels, père de famille dévoué et jeune veuf souffrant toujours de la disparition de sa femme, Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge) est un héros multidimensionnel, créé à l'origine par l'auteur américain James Patterson, qui va se heurter à un tueur en série machiavélique. Avant la diffusion des 8 épisodes de la première saison de Cross sur Prime Video, une seconde a d'ores et déjà été commandée. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOupIB773tI La mesiás – 15 novembre Dans cette série espagnole, un frère et une sœur se retrouvent confrontés à leur enfance marquée par l'emprise de leur mère, catholique fanatique.

Dune : Prophecy se concentre sur les deux sœurs Valya (Emily Watson) et Tula Harkonnen (Olivia Williams) à la genèse de cette organisation, prête à tout pour défendre l'humanité. Une série événement, à retrouver sur Max, qui s'inscrit comme une prequel du premier film Dune, dont l'action se déroule 10 000 ans avant les faits décrits dans le long-métrage de Denis Villeneuve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzVHWNosS2o L'ombre d'un fils – 18 novembre L'ombre d'un fils est un thriller psychologique intense adapté du best-seller de Karen Perry à suivre sur france.tv.

Last week saw the delayed opening of THE ENFIELD HAUNTING, a brand new play based on the real-life 1970s poltergeist frenzy. The play stars Catherine Tate and David Threlfall at the Ambassador's Theatre in the West End. This opening was unfortunately notable for many of the wrong reasons as most of the reviews were very negative - consequentially Mickey-Jo booked a ticket straight away and headed to the following day's matinee performance motivated almost exclusively by morbid curiosity. In this roundup Mickey-Jo shares his thoughts of the play whilst rounding up the opinions of some of London's major critical publications and outlets. Stay tuned to find out who really hated this play, and why... • About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field. His YouTube channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MickeyJoTheatre⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is the largest worldwide in terms of dedicated theatre criticism, where he also share features, news and interviews as well as lifestyle content for over 60,000 subscribers. Since establishing himself as a theatre critic he has been able to work internationally. With a viewership that is largely split between the US and the UK he has been fortunate enough to be able to work with PR, Marketing, and Social Media representatives for shows both in New York, London, Hamburg, and Paris. He has also twice received accreditation from the world renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His reviews and features have also been published by WhatsOnStage, for whom he was a panelist to help curate nominees for their 2023 and 2024 Awards as well as BroadwayWorldUK and LondonTheatre.co.uk. He has been invited to speak to private tour groups, at the BEAM 2023 new musical theatre conference at Oxford Playhouse, and on a panel of critics at an event for young people considering a career in the arts courtesy of Go Live Theatre Projects.

The boys get a rare insight into a professional sporting environment this week, as they sit down with club representatives from Huddersfield Town FC to talk about the impact restructuring their Academy set up in 2018 has had. Since the restructuring - going from a Category 2 Academy to a Category 4 - the club have not done much by way of media to provide context to how things are going lower down, thanks largely to a Premier League relegation and Championship struggles for the First Team. Communications Director, David Threlfall-Sykes and Academy Manager Emyr Humphreys were able to provide an incredible, first-hand and honest account of what's been going on. We talk; reducing the number of teams, bespoke fixture lists, player recruitment, pathways to the first team, attractiveness of the club, a through-club playing identity, investment and much more. It's a fascinating listen and an incredible insight into the changes made in elite sport - a huge thanks to David, Emyr and the club for their time, expertise, context and insight. The boys then offer a quick opinion on Gareth Southgate's latest England squad for the upcoming opening World Cup Qualifiers. We discuss who is unlucky to miss out, who is lucky to be there and who has a lot to prove in advance of the Euros in the Summer. We close with a prediction for the opening qualifier against San Marino - the worst ranked International team in the World. Enjoy the listen. Trust the Process. What's Next?

Primark have made huge profits and are taking a bit of stick from our army of do-gooders…they are suggesting people boycott the store because the stuff they sell is made in China by workers who are poor and mistreated…..the stuff they sell in the store is CHEAP !!!....that’s all 99% of shoppers are interested in I’m afraid. My take on this is if Primark can sell cheap so can the big stores…end of. ...I went to see “Dreamboats and Petticoats” on the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton….it was sort of O.K….but not worth 28 quid a ticket….the music which is live was good but the acting let it down…I’ve seen the show before on the Empire which was much better…shame. ...I watched a drama about Tommy Cooper on tele this week (did you catch it?) it was brilliant…the guy who played him was great (David Threlfall?...who was the star of “Shameless” which I never watched)…it was a great insight into the life of T.C.

This week Libby Purves is joined by David M Lutken, Lee Mack, David Threlfall and Janet Street-Porter. David M Lutken is an American actor and writer. He is the co-writer (with Nick Corley) and the star of a new musical, 'Woody Sez', about Woody Guthrie, who according to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was "the original folk hero; a man who, in the Thirties and Forties, transformed the folk ballad into a vehicle for social protest and observation, and paved the way for the likes of Bob Dylan". 'Woody Sez - the Life and Music of Woody Guthrie' is at the Arts Theatre, London. Lee Mack is a writer and comedian who has established himself as one of the UK's biggest comedy stars. The last twelve months alone have seen him extend his 2010 national tour 'Going Out' twice, return as resident team captain on TV's 'Would I Lie To You?' and he now returns to BBC One with the award-winning sitcom 'Not Going Out' for a fourth series. David Threlfall is the acclaimed actor probably best known for playing Frank, the head of the Gallagher clan, in the critically acclaimed Channel Four drama Shameless, created by Paul Abbott. Set on Manchester's Chatsworth estate, it charts the rollercoaster lives and loves of the dysfunctional Gallagher family. An 8th series of 'Shameless' is on Channel Four. Janet Street-Porter is the writer and journalist, former editor of the Independent on Sunday and TV executive, who has had a successful career in the media spanning nearly forty years. In her latest book Don't Let the B*****ds Get You Down (published by Quadrille), she gives her advice on everything from how to survive in the recession and how to cut the crap and live life by your own rules.
