Listen now
Description
This week we have a slightly different set up. We are focusing on five things you should have in your TV diary for the coming autumn and winter months. Gen V, spin off of superhero series The Boys is up first. Set after season 3 of The Boys. Steven takes us through what to expect including a lot of violence. The first three episodes came out on Amazon Prime on 29th September with weekly episodes ongoing. Kelly looks forward to Boiling Point, a TV series based on the 2021 film starring Stephen Graham. Graham is back as producer and starring with much of the same cast as the film alongside some more new faces. The new series is set to pick up 6 months after where the film finished and we see head chef Carly running a new restaurant whilst Andy continues to deal with his issues. We are excited for this one - no date to air yet but it will be on BBC1 when it does materialise. Dr Who returns this autumn with three special episodes. David Tenant is back as the Doctor in advance of meeting the new Doctor at Christmas who will be played by Ncuti Gatwa with a new series coming back to BBC in February 2024. Frasier returns too this autumn with some old faces as well as some new ones including Nicholas Lyndhurst. The new series is set in Boston, the birthplace of Frasier the character way back in the early 80s in Cheers. Frasier is now living on campus and teaching and there will be plenty of hijinx with his son and nephew in toe. This comes to Paramount+ on the 12th of October. Finally Steven tells us about Squid Game: The Challenge - a reality competition show based on the Netflix series Squid Game from last year that was a massive success. Contestants will compete in similar challenges to the series but with the death element - hopefully anyway. There's a huge prize pot of £3.65million so it's gonna be interesting. Coming to Netflix in November - date tbc so stay up to speed by listening to Screen Babble each week! Hosted on Acast.
