When is Diane Morgan’s Mandy Christmas special due to air?

Published by Daniella Wilson

Diane Morgan’s Mandy Christmas special is now set to be released this year, months after it was abruptly pulled from the BBC’s 2025 festive schedule. The special, titled The Mandy Who Knew Too Much, had been due to air on BBC Two on 22 December 2025 but was removed just days before broadcast. The instalment was filmed in January 2025, alongside the rest of the show’s fourth season. At the time, a BBC spokesperson confirmed to Radio Times that the episode has been moved to 2026. Now, it’s been reported that the anticipated episode will air this Christmas – however this isn’t necessarily brand new news. When approached by Radio Times for comment on these recent reports, a BBC spokesperson re-confirmed that “the Mandy Christmas Special has been moved to 2026”. As of now, a release date has not yet been confirmed but we can safely assume the Mandy Christmas special should surely air at some point during the December festive peak.

Sterling Point Star Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Manager Fired Him Due to Age

Sterling Point Star Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Manager Fired Him Due to Age

Published by Daniella Wilson

Jeffrey Dean Morgan knows the Hollywood struggle, having grinded for several years before finally booking his breakout roles on Grey’s Anatomy, Supernatural and Weeds. But the actor, who most recently starred in Prime Video’s new series Sterling Point, told host Josh Horowitz on a new episode of his Happy Sad Confused podcast that his former manager fired him right before he landed these shows due to his age. “I remember being in my mid-30s going, ‘This didn’t work out,’” the now 60-year-old recalled. “And my manager had just fired me right before I got the three shows. I’d been with her forever. And she was like, ‘You’ve aged out, bro. You missed your window.’ And she got rid of me and Max Martini at the same time and said the same thing to both of us.” Fortunately for Morgan, but unfortunately for his manager, that’s when the actor finally received the calls every actor dreams of. “I got Supernatural, Grey’s Anatomy and Weeds all at the same time, like within a week of each other,” …

Ann Droid review: Diane Morgan’s irreverent BBC comedy with Sue Johnston

Ann Droid review: Diane Morgan’s irreverent BBC comedy with Sue Johnston

Published by Daniella Wilson

A star rating of 3 out of 5. A comedy about AI? In 2026? What a novel concept! In truth, this new BBC sitcom – written by, and co-starring, Diane Morgan and Australian comedian Sarah Kendall – feels pleasingly retro. The BBC has been making a concerted effort of late to re-embrace the sitcom, with recent hits including Here We Go, Amandaland and Smoggie Queens, plus the upcoming Hopley Hall. And this six-part series, about an older woman’s friendship with a new robot, slots firmly into this category. Recent widow Sue (Sue Johnston) could use some extra help around the home. As a solution, her self-centred son Michael (Motherland’s co-star Paul Ready) decides to buy her a second-hand eldercare machine called Linda (Morgan). Sue initially baulks at the idea and is desperate to send Linda back. But soon she is reluctantly bonding with her new AI helper. Could Linda ultimately prove the surprising answer to her loneliness? The humour is both broad and irreverent, but there’s an unexpected amount of heart, too. The first episode …

Piers Morgan’s bombshell four-word reaction to Meghan and Harry apology | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Piers Morgan dramatically stormed off the set of Good Morning Britain in 2021, after his comments about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s sit down interview with Oprah Winfrey. Piers, 61, left the ITV programme that same year after causing controversy when he said he didn’t believe the Duchess of Sussex’s claims in her Oprah interview – which included allegations of racism. The incident sparked more than 50,000 complaints to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom, which later ruled the comments did not break the rules. Opening about the furore five years later, the Uncensored host was probed about his criticism of Meghan, 44, “being over the top”. The broadcaster addressed whether an apology from him to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would ever be on the cards. In a four-word statement, he said, “I won’t do that.” “If what you’re seeking is, ‘I’m so sorry for being mean to Meghan’ – I wasn’t,” he told Grazia magazine. “I won’t do that.” It was reported at the time, the duchess formally complained to ITV about Piers’ remarks, which …

The first song I fell in love withBaggy Trousers by Madness. I remember thinking it was the most brilliant thing I’d ever heard, partly because there was a man in huge trousers suspended from the ceiling playing a saxophone on Top of the Pops. That probably helped. It was hilarious! The first single I boughtThe Smurfs? I think I just asked for it rather than went out and bought it myself because I was three. Apparently I was mesmerised by both Kate Bush and the Smurfs, so I had great taste in music. The first single I bought with my own pocket money was probably I Should Be So Lucky, because I hadn’t become acquainted with the Fall yet. The song I inexplicably know every lyric toIt’s weird when lyrics you don’t particularly like find their way into your memory. I know more music hall songs than I should for my age, because we were forced to sing them in drama school. I also remember the lyrics to the Hold a Chicken in the Air song from Spitting …

The US Department of Justice released over three million pages of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday (January 30), six weeks after a deadline mandated in a law signed by US President Donald Trump. In two of the images, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor can be seen kneeling over an unidentified woman. One photo, the former prince is seen touching the person, who is fully clothed, on her stomach. Another image shows him staring directly at the camera. The photographs appear to match the interior of Epstein’s New York City mansion. Andrew strongly denies any wrongdoing. Piers Morgan has weighed in on the scandal after an alleged email exchange between Andrew and Epstein have also been released, with claims the former duke invited him to Buckingham Palace. In a huge blow to the royals, the Uncensored host, 60, suggested “it’s long overdue” Andrew and Lord Peter Mandelson are fully interrogated by investigating authorities. In an explosive post on X, Piers tweeted: “It’s long overdue time that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson submitted themselves to …

Piers Morgan, the broadcaster and journalist, is raising tens of millions of dollars of funding from heavyweight investors as he seeks to turn Uncensored, his YouTube-based venture, into a broad-based global media business. Sky News can exclusively reveal that Mr Morgan is in the process of finalising a roughly $30m (£22.5m) fundraising for Uncensored that will give it a pre-money valuation of about $130m (£97m).

A number of family offices from around the world are also said to be in talks to become shareholders in Uncensored.
