The five-part series will be narrated by Attenborough and will use state of the art technology combined with rigorous scientific research to transport viewers back in time. 

The documentary will look back 66 million years to the ancient world and reveal the different habitats of Earth and the dinosaurs that populated them.

An original score has been composed by Hans Zimmer, and the stories will be told against the landscapes of the Cretaceous times, spanning coasts, deserts, freshwater, ice worlds and forests. 

The 10-part comedy thriller series will follow the Garvey sisters, who are bound together by the promise to always protect one another after the premature death of their parents. Joining Horgan as the Garvey sisters will be Anne-Marie Duff (Suffragette), Eva Birthistle (Brooklyn), Sarah Greene (Dublin Murders), and Eve Hewson (The Luminaries).

Adapted from Lauren Beuke’s novel, Shining Girls tells the spine-chilling story of a time-travelling killer that crosses alternative timelines and realities. 

Moss plays Chicago newspaper archivist Kirby Mazrachi, who is trying to recover from a traumatic assault and subsequently becomes obsessed with a recent murder which is strangely similar to her own attack. 

The case brings up triggering thoughts for Mazrachi which she thought were buried deep, and she starts to question her own sanity and worry she is losing a grip on reality. 

It’s odd to think now but, before kicking off on Apple TV+, you may not have bet on football comedy drama Ted Lasso as a winner.  

Originally, Jason Sudeikis’s loveable Mr Nice Guy character fronted a US advertising campaign. As an American football coach turned “head coach of Tottenham Spurs” [sic], his cheerful cluelessness about the beautiful game made him ideal to bring soccer to American culture and thus promote NBC’s Premier League coverage back in 2013.  

The winners were announced at a prestigious ceremony, held at the London Hilton on Park Lane this evening, hosted by award-winning journalist and broadcaster Charlene White.

The eight-part series stars Julianne Moore as Lisey, a woman grieving the loss of her husband, famed novelist Scott Landon (Clive Owen).

As Lisey struggles to deal with his death, she must face memories from her marriage that she has forced herself to forget. As reality and fantasy become distorted, Lisey becomes entangled in events connected to her husband's work.

Dane Dehann (ZeroZeroZero) stars as an obsessive fan, who is determined to obtain Scott's unpublished manuscripts. 

The past six months have been a period like no other in Ireland. Our lockdown has been followed by a partial lifting of restrictions that has us bobbing up and down between level two and level three of the pandemic regulations.

The good news is that production has resumed, and it is slightly surreal that Matt Damon, star of Contagion, a spooky thriller about a deadly virus and a global panic, has been spotted pottering about in Dalkey, a small seaside town south of Dublin, where he chose to spend lockdown.
