A black cab pulled up, and its driver offered to take her home to East Sheen; he lived round there too, he claimed, and would accept just £5 for the fare. Once she was in the car, the driver told her that he’d just won big at the casino and invited her to raise a glass of champagne to celebrate. When he wasn’t looking, she poured it onto the floor, fearing it might be spiked. Later, he persuaded her to drink a shot of vodka; feeling indebted for the cheap cab ride, she agreed. From that point on, she couldn’t remember much, but according to her mum, she could barely walk when she arrived …

The upcoming ITV drama Believe Me features established and rising British stars coming together to tell a harrowing British story. Aimée-Ffion Edwards (Slow Horses, Peaky Blinders, Mr Burton), Aasiya Shah (Raised by Wolves, Bloods, The Beast Must Die) and Miriam Petche (Industry) feature in the four-episode series opposite Daniel Mays (Line of Duty, Des, A Thousand Blows, Moonflower Murders) as John Worboys, who is known in the U.K. by a more sinister moniker: the “Black Cab Rapist.” He has drawn many a headline, so now it is time for women who suffered because of him to see their stories and their experiences told. From the indignity of multiple police interviews and intimate evidence gathering to skeptical lines of questioning from police officers, Believe Me takes audiences through many a painful, frustrating and anger-inducing experience. Indeed, Believe Me, written and executive produced by Jeff Pope (Philomena, Stan & Ollie, Cilla), produced by his Etta Pictures, part of ITV Studios, and directed by Julia Ford, tells the story of the victims of “one of the most prolific sex attackers in British history” and how they …

Happy New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer — and ET has you covered for everything in between. The wait is over — BTS has released their highly anticipated fifth album, ARIRANG. After approximately three years and nine months, the band is back with a new album and tour. Their new album reflects the culmination of their journey to date and defines the group on their own terms. The album has 14 tracks and was driven by each members’ honest introspection. The lead single, “SWIM,” centers on the resolve to keep moving forward through life’s waves and Lili Reinhart stars in the music video that was filmed on an actual ship in Lisbon. BTS will kick off their world tour on April 25. The band sat down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe and shared how it felt natural to come back together as a group and how proud they are of where they came from and supporting each other.  The first performers …

Harbinger announces new, low cab forward electric box truck

Published by skeptic

Harbinger kicked off Work Truck Week 2026 in style with the launch of the HC Series Cab – a totally new medium-duty box truck chassis available in both full BEV and EREV versions and up to 26,000 lbs. of gross vehicle weight rating. Harbinger says its all-new HC Series Cab delivers best-in-class maneuverability with a tight, 42-foot turning circle and superior visibility from a car-like driving position that’s not compromised by the needs of an internal combustion engine, addressing two of the most common issues faced by urban delivery fleets. What’s more, the Harbinger chassis’ ultra-low 29″ frame height at maximum (GVWR) capacity makes entry, exit, and loading impressively easy. “The HC Series Cab represents a major expansion of our product line and a defining moment for the medium-duty industry,” explains Harbinger CEO, John Harris. “For too long, fleets have had to compromise between payload, maneuverability, range and onboard capability. We engineered this platform to outperform legacy [gas and] diesel options while unlocking new advantages through electrification and our range-extended hybrid system to enable real work …
