The number of abortions recorded in England and Wales has reached a record high, according to the latest government figures from the Department of Health. There were 277,970 abortions in 2023, the highest number since the Abortion Act was introduced in 1967 - which is 11 per cent higher than the previous year in 2022. Rachael Clarke is Head of Advocacy for the British Pregnancy Advisory Service - known as B-PAS, and tells Anita Rani about the findings. In 2025 alone she walked at Paris Fashion Week, spoke at the United Nations about face equality and won 'Fashion and beauty influencer of the year' at the the UK and Ireland TikTok awards, all while managing a chronic illness. Nikki Lilly is a Bafta and Emmy award-winner, an influencer and a campaigner and she joins Anita in the studio. January is one of the toughest times for managing finances - and this year the pressure is hitting harder than ever. In just the first week of 2026, more than 13,000 people turned to Citizens Advice for help with debt. Last January, over 50,000 people sought support, and they expect this year to be even worse. New polling commissioned by the charity over the last six months reveals one in three people in problem debt have gone without essentials like food and women are feeling the squeeze more than men, with nearly 40% of those seeking advice being impacted compared to 31% of men. To discuss, Anita is joined by principle policy manager at Citizens Advice, Emer Sheehy, and personal finance and consumer expert Sue Hayward.Grief over a pet's death can be as strong as that for a family member or close friend, new research shows. Anita talks to Philip Hyland who led the research on prolonged grief disorder. Actor Hayley Squires is currently on our screens in the long-awaited second series of BBC spy thriller The Night Manager.

She's currently also appearing in the hit production of All My Sons in London's West End. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

This episode begins, as ever, in total disarray: missed jokes, football updates, wine anxiety, and the creeping realisation that the best material always happens before the mic is on. Then Dan drops a bombshell: The Night Manager is so tense he physically struggled to finish it.And that's the hook.Based on John le Carré's novel, The Night Manager is a six-part espionage thriller starring Tom Hiddleston as Jonathan Pine, a hotel night manager pulled into a covert operation to bring down international arms dealer Richard Roper (a towering Hugh Laurie). Set against the backdrop of the Arab Spring, it's a story of guilt, infiltration, and moral compromise — where every smile hides a weapon and every ally might be a leak.We talk about:Why this is one of the most gripping British series of the last decadeHiddleston's transformation into a Bond-adjacent undercover operativeHugh Laurie's chilling reinvention as “the worst man in the world”The mechanics of building a fake identity and earning trust from monstersOlivia Colman's ferocious MI6 handler and the cost of doing “good”The unbearable tension of near-misses, close calls, and cliffhangersJohn le Carré's MI6 roots and why his work still defines spy fictionIt's sleek, paranoid, adult television — the kind where you pause episodes just to steady your nerves. With a new season finally arriving, this is the perfect moment to (re)discover it.If you like espionage with teeth, villains who smile while they ruin lives, and stories where nobody is truly safe, this episode is your invitation to dive in.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Nick catches up with Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter to break down the Golden Globe Awards while they are still fresh. They talk through the winners and losers, how the broadcast actually played, and what worked and didn't with host Nikki Glaser. It's a straight-shooting reaction to an awards night that gave everyone plenty to argue about. Dan also weighs in on a few new things worth watching, including the Amazon series The Night Manager, the drama His and Hers starring Tom Hiddleston, Tessa Thompson, and Jon Bernthal, and a new documentary centered on Chevy Chase. The reviews are thoughtful and honest, with the kind of context only a longtime critic brings. Things take a sharp turn into chaos when Esmeralda Leon joins in and British bon vivant and game show tormentor Slap Slapply returns. Nick and Esma get thrown into another round of 80s and 90s trivia madness, and the results are as ridiculous and entertaining as you would hope. [Ep 420]

Ben and Rob chart the final moments of ‘Life Of Chuck', Mike Flanagan's Stephen King adaptation that has quickly become one of the most talked about life affirming films of the year. Starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Matthew Lillard, Jacob Tremblay and Mia Sara, Life Of Chuck tells the story of an ordinary man whose existence unfolds backwards through collapsing worlds, childhood dance lessons and the small moments that define a human life.Why has Life Of Chuck become such a powerful Stephen King adaptation for modern audiences; how did Mike Flanagan turn a strange, non linear short story into a deeply emotional and life affirming film; and why are so many viewers calling this one of the most moving movies of the year? How do Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill and Chiwetel Ejiofor anchor a story built on memory, grief and joy; what do the attic and the cupola really represent; and how do the recurring objects across timelines quietly rewrite what the film is saying? And finally, what does Life Of Chuck really mean about connection, mortality and the fear of forgetting what made life beautiful? CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

Trump's propaganda machine wants you to believe the killing of Renee Nicole Good wasn't a senseless and predictable crime committed by our government, artificial intelligence is creeping into the health care system in dubious ways, and a $5,000 smart toilet that can call for help is the best new gadget of the year. Acclaimed actor Tom Hiddleston talks about the moral fortitude of his character in “The Night Manager,” and the advice he got from author John le Carré upon whose book the series is based. Season two of “The Night Manager” premieres Sunday on Prime Video.

In this episode of Cinema D'Amore, Chuck and Justin break down Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's The Life of Chuck, unpacking its reverse structure, standout performances from Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mia Sara, and Benjamin Pajak, and the film's meditation on memory, mortality, and the quiet power of everyday joy. They dig into Flanagan's direction, Nick Offerman's measured narration, the use of visual callbacks, and how the film translates King's short story to the screen. It's a film for fans of thoughtful, character-driven adaptations that linger long after the credits roll.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesThough Disney and Marvel Studios have remained tight-lipped and cagey concerning details around the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, the Internet, and a few reputable trades, have collectively discerned that we apparently “know when the Avengers: Doomsday trailer is coming.” The prognosticators have deytermined the trailer will be attached to December's Avatar: Fire & Ash – big news, if true! Another unconfirmed, but believable rumor that has taken the Internet by storm concerns Marvel TV's Wonder Man series and its episode run times, which places the longest episode at 34 minutes and the shortest at 23 including credits. Per The Hollywood Reporter, DC Studios has greenlit a Superman spinoff series focusing on standout Skyler Gisondo's Jimmy Olsen and coming to us from Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, the creators of Netflix's award-winning mockumentary American Vandal. The series is said to focus on Olsen and other Daily Planet reporters, (though Lois Lane and Clark Kent were conspicuously excluded,) as he tackles cases involving superpowered villains, with Season One featuring Flash rogue Gorilla Grodd as a big bad. Predator Badlands was the apex, ahem, predator at the box office last weekend debuting to $40 million domestically and doubling the haul internationally at $80 million worldwide. The film outperformed expectations, representing a much-needed shot of adrenaline in what has been a lethargic Fall box office, while also putting up bests for the franchise; beating out 2004's Alien Vs Predator and 2018's The Predator in the domestic and global arenas, respectively.Blue Beetle and Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña has been cast in season 3 of Netflix's One Piece and will play the character Portgas D. Ace.Jennifer Lawrence recently revealed that she and Emma Stone are developing a movie about the iconic Muppet Miss Piggy with Oh, Mary! writer and Tony winner Cole Escola penning the script, marking the character's first solo outing siynce Jim Henson debuted her on The Muppet Show in 1976.Netflix and Sony have finalized a deal for another “KPop Demon Hunters” movie, with plans to release the animated musical sequel in 2029.Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' starring Jaafar Jackson, the nephew of the late pop icon. The film from director Antoine Fuqua is set to hit theaters on April 24, 2026, after its release was delayed several times.Prime Video announced that season two of The Night Manager, starring Tom Hiddleston, will premiere on January 11. The second season comes back to Prime ten years after the first season debuted. Warner Brothers has set a release date for the next film in The Gremlins franchise of November 19th 2027. Steven Spielberg is returning to executive produce “Gremlins 3” while “Harry Potter” filmmaker Chris Columbus is set to direct and produce. Disney has released the first official trailer for season 2 of Percy Jackson and The Olympians, which begins streaming on December 10th. In gaming news, Skydance Games is once again pushing the release for the much-anticipated “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra” video game from May 2026 to November 2026. Rockstar Games also announced that they would be delaying Grand Theft Auto 6 once again, this time from May 2026 to November 2026 as well. Ryan Reynolds and Amazon MGM have teamed up to develop a remake of Thunderbolt & Lightfoot, a 1974 action comedy that starred Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges. Reynolds is eyeing to star in the adaptation and is also collaborating on the script with writers Enzo Mileti and Scott Wilson, a writing team who worked on season four of comedic crime show Fargo. Shane Reid, who edited Reynolds' Deadpool & Wolverine, will make his directorial debut with the project.

Ayo Edebiri y Andrew Garfield le acompañan en el reparto. Un simple accidente ganó la Palma de Oro en el festival de Cannes. El director es Jafar Panahi. Good Boy es la historia de un perrete que ve cosas extrañas. De miedo. Y acabamos con La deuda. Dirigida por Daniel Guzmán, combina thriller y cine social. Recordando a Diane Keaton os decimos adiós, hasta la semana que viene.

Min 4: CAZA DE BRUJAS (3 estrellas) Caza de Brujas, la nueva película de Luca Guadagnino, con Julia Roberts y Andrew Garfield al frente del reparto, propone una mirada inquietante sobre la culpa, la paranoia y la necesidad de redención en una América dividida por el miedo. Lejos de la fantasía o el terror literal que sugiere su título, Caza de Brujas se adentra en un drama psicológico en el que la sospecha y la moral se enfrentan en un escenario dominado por la manipulación social y los juicios mediáticos. Min 12: LA VIDA DE CHUCK (3,5 estrellas) La nueva película dirigida por Mike Flanagan y protagonizada por Tom Hiddleston y Mark Hamill, lejos del terror clásico por el que viene apostando este cineasta, plantea un viaje emocional y metafísico que convierte la vida de un hombre corriente en una reflexión sobre el tiempo, la memoria y el sentido de la existencia. Basada en uno de los relatos más personales Stephen King, la cinta despliega tres actos que van desde la tragedia cotidiana hasta la fantasía cósmica, con la sensibilidad visual y narrativa que caracteriza a Flanagan. Su puesta en escena minimalista, su estructura fragmentada y una banda sonora cargada de melancolía convierten la historia en una experiencia profundamente humana. Min 18: LA CENA (4 estrellas) La cena, el nuevo largometraje de Manuel Gómez Pereira, combina sátira, memoria y suspense emocional. Ambientada en la España de posguerra, la historia arranca en una lujosa velada organizada para celebrar un supuesto triunfo social en plena dictadura franquista. A medida que avanza la noche, las apariencias se resquebrajan y lo que parecía un encuentro festivo se convierte en un inquietante retrato de las hipocresías, miedos y silencios de toda una generación. El reparto, encabezado por Mario Casas, Alberto San Juan, Asier Etxeandia, Antonio Resines y Nora Hernández, sostiene con precisión un guion que alterna la ironía con la tensión moral. Gómez Pereira firma una película elegante, incómoda y profundamente humana, donde cada gesto y cada silencio pesan tanto como las palabras. Min 24: LA DEUDA (3 estrellas) Después de A cambio de nada y Canallas, el director madrileño Daniel Guzmán firma una historia profundamente humana sobre la culpa, la redención y los lazos invisibles que unen a quienes comparten un pasado común. Protagonizada por Luis Tosar, María Vázquez, Salva Reina y el propio Daniel Guzmán, la película aborda el reencuentro de un grupo de antiguos amigos marcados por una promesa incumplida. Lo que comienza como una visita inocente se convierte en un ajuste de cuentas emocional donde cada gesto destapa las deudas morales que el tiempo nunca borra. MIn 31: UN SIMPLE ACCIDENTE (4,75 estrellas) Pocas veces una película logra el consenso entre crítica y público, pero Un simple accidente lo ha conseguido. En esta nueva entrega de “Estamos de Cine”, el equipo analiza el drama revelación del año, un filme que para nuestro crítico Alberto Luchini se sitúa entre las grandes obras de la temporada y se perfila, incluso, como la gran rival de Sitar en la carrera hacia los Oscar. Min 37: GOODBOY (3,5 estrellas) El cine de terror sigue reinventándose, y pocos títulos lo demuestran con tanta audacia como Good Boy, la perturbadora cinta noruega que ha sacudido los festivales y que llega ahora a las plataformas con una mezcla explosiva de humor negro, tensión psicológica y crítica social. Raquel Hernández destaca la película como una de las sorpresas más originales y efectivas del género en los últimos años, subrayando su capacidad para incomodar al espectador sin recurrir al susto fácil. Min 42: LA HERMANASTRA FEA (3,5 estrellas) A veces los cuentos de hadas esconden una verdad mucho más humana que mágica. En este nuevo episodio de “Estamos de Cine” nois adentramos también en la sorprendente revisión del mito de Cenicienta, que convierte a la villana en protagonista y desmonta, con ironía y ternura, los estereotipos del relato clásico. Min 46: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA: CON UN PEQUEÑO GRAN "MR. RUVENS" Director, guionista, crítico casual e insobornable, autodefinido como anti-influencer para capaz de influir como pocos con su agudeza ácida en las redes...el joven albaceteño conocido como "Ruvens", colaborador de Abycine y rostro tan amado como criticado por su vinculación con Gran Hermano, ha respondido a la invitación de Roberto Lancha y es el protagonista de una nueva entrega de La Película de tu vida. Min 50: ESPECIAL BSO PEQUEÑA MISS SUNSHINE (4 estrellas) Hay películas que se recuerdan por sus personajes, otras por sus diálogos, y unas pocas por el modo en que la música las convierte en algo inolvidable. Ángel Luque repasa la partitura de Pequeña Miss Sunshine, una joya del cine independiente que marcó a toda una generación con su equilibrio perfecto entre melancolía y esperanza. Firmada por Mychael Danna y DeVotchKa, la banda sonora combina instrumentos acústicos, atmósferas folk y un aire de carretera que acompaña el viaje de la familia Hoover tanto física como emocionalmente.

Put down your briefcase and put on your dancing shoes, everybody, because today on Script Apart – a podcast about the first-draft secrets of great movies and TV shows – Mike Flanagan is back, tap-dancing through the end times with me in celebration of The Life Of Chuck. As I put it in my feature for Empire Magazine earlier this year, when I covered the movie's theatrical release, the phrase “feel-good” isn't often associated with the apocalypse. Nor, to be honest, with Mike's work in general, as one of the streaming era's premier fright-masters – a writer-director whose output so far have included vampire priests (Midnight Mass), acid showers (Fall Of The House Of Usher) and some of the most harrowing small-screen deaths in recent memory (The Haunting Of Hill House, I am still not over you)."Feel-good" is not how you'd typically describe the icon of literary terror he's becoming closely associated with, either. The Life Of Chuck is the third time Mike has adapted the great Stephen King, after Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep (he also has new adaptations of Carrie and The Dark Tower on the way). But The Life Of Chuck is, nonetheless, as “feel-good” as apocalypse stories come. It stars Tom Hiddleston as an ordinary-looking man who mysteriously begins appearing on billboards as a divorced couple's leafy suburban existence is interrupted by a series of globe-threatening disasters. The mystery of “Who is Chuck?” propels a story more still and sentimental than many viewers might expect from Flanagan, from King, from the end of the world.In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Mike calls in from the set of Carrie, which he's in production on at the moment, to break down the film in extensive detail. We get into the meaning of the Carl Sagan-inspired monologue that Mike added to King's source text. We talk about the one detail in the film's transcendent dance sequence that breaks my heart just to think about. And of course, we touch on that moving, ambiguous ending and how it fits into a body of work that often involves locked rooms. Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

AKA ODIN GETS CRITICIZED ONCE AND DIES. Lukewarm off the heels of The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2, Marvel's path towards The Avengers got a little rocky. The film was delayed by a year, and they had to hunker down on their last two establishing films beforehand. First up was the God of Thunder, arguably their biggest dice roll in casting then-unknowns Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. The end result was a film that, while not entirely lightning in a bottle, captured audiences in ways they wouldn't entirely realize until the year after. So, how does it hold up? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they continue Phase 1 of the MCUathon with Kenneth Branagh's THOR!

This week we head back into the MVM archives to take you behind the scenes on the making of the 2011 Thor movie! We'll explore the failed attempts to make a Thor movie in the 90's and 2000's - from Sam Raimi, to Matthew Vaughan, to Guillermo del Toro! We'll dive into Kenneth Branagh's long fandom with Marvel Comics and the stories of Thor, and the big conflicts he had with Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios! We'll take you inside the casting of the movie, the big name stars who nearly wielded the hammer, how Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston got their roles, and the disdain that Anthony Hopkins has for this movie! We also dig-in to just how important this movie was to the success of Marvel Studios - after the failure of Incredible Hulk, Marvel badly needed Thor to be a hit!

This week we're excited to present an archival conversation from the 51st New York Film Festival in 2013 with Only Lovers Left Alive director Jim Jarmusch and lead actress Tilda Swinton. Jim Jarmusch returns to the New York Film Festival this October with the North American Premiere of our NYFF63 Centerpiece selection Father Mother Sister Brother. NYFF63 single tickets will go on sale this Thursday, September 18! Learn more at filmlinc.org/nyff This conversation was moderated by Amy Taubin Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston make a dashing and very literal first couple—centuries-old lovers Eve and Adam—in Jim Jarmusch's wry, tender take on the vampire genre. When we first meet the pair, he's making rock music in Detroit while she's hanging out with an equally ageless Christopher Marlowe (John Hurt) in Tangiers. (Long-distance spells aren't such a big deal when you've been together throughout hundreds of years.) Between sips of untainted hospital-donated blood, they struggle with depression and an ever-changing world, reflect on their favorite humans (Buster Keaton, Albert Einstein, Jack White) and watch time go by, each finding stability in the other.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the lack of casting for Voldemort and what that might mean for the TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      1:19 If we haven't had an official casting, we might have a story that isn't based around the trio. Of course the story is going to be centered around the trio because that is what it is, but having a big buildup around Voldemort might suggest the filmmakers are going to explore his character more.·      7:31 Traits that we need. Voldemort needs to be cool and collected. Without his calmness, he can't have his flying rages that show us the vat of acid underneath. He also has to have a haunted air to suggest something greater about his past. Finally, a fire that is fueled by rage is a necessity for the villain of the series.·      19:10 Possibilities. Tom Hiddleston? He clearly has emotional depth, but his screen presence isn't as grandiose. Cillian Murphy? Fantastic cool demeanor and haunted nature complimented by his passion. A great option. Benedict Cumberbatch? Looks the most like Voldemort and has the snake acting down to a tee. Another great option.Having anything you want to hear or say?

New reviews of Ben Affleck in The Accountant 2, and Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill in Mike Flanagan's Stephen King adaptation, The Life of Chuck. Fair warning, the latter gets into some spoiler territory in discussing the film's themes and structure.

Stephen King's work has often contemplated the inevitability of death. But his latest adaptation, The Life of Chuck is a life-affirming film that challenges the cynic in everyone. It has a big cast including Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jacob Tremblay, Mark Hamill, and Nick Offerman. The film was directed and written for the screen by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass).
