It can’t be easy following up a smash hit like Baby Reindeer, one which was hugely popular around the world on Netflix and also won a vast number of awards. However, that’s just what creator and star Richard Gadd has done with his new BBC/HBO series Half Man, which he has not only written, but also stars in alongside Jamie Bell. In fact, speaking with us exclusively for our video interview series The Radio Times Writers’ Room, in which we get to know what makes screenwriters tick, Gadd has teased that the new series contains perhaps the best scene he has ever written, right at the end. Asked for the best scene he’s ever written, Gadd said: “I think, just because I’m naturally self flagellating, my head sometimes goes to scenes that have had to be cut. And I sometimes go to them because I think I’ve convinced myself that they were sort of ‘the one.’” He continued: “I think, potentially, the best one I’ve ever written, although it’s so hard to say that, because …

Self-Driving Car Runs Down Mother Duck Taking Care of Her Eggs, Flees Scene

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech It’s safe to say that no one at the autonomous vehicle startup Avride will be using any omelette-related idioms about the necessity of sacrifice anytime soon. In Austin, Texas, where the company is based and tests its self-driving tech, one of its autonomous cars ran over and killed a mother duck that had wandered away from her nearby nest of eggs — and drove off without stopping. As KXAN reported, the hit-and-run was first flagged by a resident in a Facebook group for the Mueller Lake Park neighborhood where the incident took place, claiming that a person was in the driver’s seat without their hands on the wheel when it happened. “It didn’t slow down or hesitate at all, just steamrolled right through, and the person inside did not stop to see what happened, just kept driving on,” wrote resident Lewis Pierce in the post. Pierce also claimed the Avride car blew through a stop sign moments before …

Male Co-Star Refused to Film Scene Being Saved By Woman

Published by Daniella Wilson

Olivia Munn is getting candid about her experience working with a difficult male co-star on a past project. During a recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress recalled an unnamed actor refusing to film a scene in which her female character saved his. “There have been a few times where I’ve been filming something — and my character was either like CIA, or a cop, or something — and there’s been scenes where my character has been the one to save the other character,” Munn explained. In this specific instance, the Your Friends & Neighbors star said they were filming a gunfight scene in an underground bunker. “If you read the script, it was that he was guarding his side, I was guarding my side, then we switch sides and then there’s a guy that was coming for him — was gonna shoot him in the back — so I shoot him,” Munn recounted. “And then we’re about to shoot and, somehow, I guess he didn’t read the script and in that moment, he realized, …

Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter An Avengers: Endgame deleted scene could prove that a popular theory about the villain Thanos (Josh Brolin) has been true all along. The clip, which you can watch on streaming service Disney+, is an alternate version of a conversation between Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) featured in the film. Swinton’s character can be seen telling Hulk that removing an Infinity Stone creates a new timeline. However, she then goes on to reveal something that was omitted from the film – that she’s already used the Time Stone to see beyond her very own death. It’s here where she drops the huge revelation that Thanos’s destructive finger-snap, which wiped out half of all existence, didn’t actually kill a single person. She explains that, rather than kill people, Thanos “willed them out of existence”, which is what made their …
