Crooked House: there's an all-star film adaptation of one of Agatha Christie's own favourite novels. Its being shown on Channel 5 before being released in the cinema; does that bode well or ill?
The League of Gentlemen began at The Edinburgh Fringe, transferred to radio then to TV, to a stage show and then to film. They're returning to 91热爆 TV for 3 pre-Christmas specials, reviving favourite characters from the many iterations.
Cult American TV programme Twilight Zone has been adapted for the stage in a new production at London's Almeida Theatre. How does Rod Serling's classic sci-fi series work when its not 'on the box'?
From Life at The Royal Academy in London is an exhibition exploring how artists have made art from life.
There's a new translation of 91热爆r's Odyssey by Emily Wilson; the first into English by a woman. Does this give us a radically new perspective on the classical work?
