Strictly Come Dancing favourite Amy Dowden reveals why doing Who Do You Think You Are? left her in tears

“It was a real emotional journey,” she shared. She was completely surprised to learn her great-grandmother Louisa had died from breast cancer in 1921, at just 39 years old. Dowden herself has faced significant health challenges, living with Crohn’s disease since she was 19. More recently, at 32, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, requiring extensive treatment, a double mastectomy, and resulting in side effects like a blood clot in her lung. Hearing medical historian Dr. Agnes Arnold-Forster reveal Louisa’s cancer diagnosis in this week’s episode was a shock for her.

John Travolta talks working with his daughter on his directorial debut: “Her presence in this movie… to me, it’s A Star Is Born”

Before becoming famous in films like Grease and Saturday Night Fever, he earned his pilot’s license at age 22. During a flight in the early 1990s, he was forced to land in Maine because of thick fog and had to spend the night at a hotel. Lying awake, he was overwhelmed with memories from his childhood. By the time the fog cleared and he could fly again, he had the idea for a story. That story eventually became his children’s book, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, published in 1997, which tells the tale of a boy’s first airplane experience.

British acting legend Geraldine James: “I’m endlessly cast as The B***h”

Over a career spanning five decades, actress James has often portrayed complex and formidable female characters, like Lady Maud in ‘Blott on the Landscape’ and Milner in the thrilling series ‘Utopia’. While she’s said she’s moved on from playing those types of roles, they, along with her many other performances, have established her as a leading expert in British drama at bringing ‘difficult’ women to life – characters who are strong, often reserved, and carry hidden depths and complicated histories.

Classic Doctor Who legend Brian Hodgson reveals why he still thinks it’s “dangerous” for gay couples to hold hands on the street

By 1963, Brian Hodgson had become a pioneering sound designer at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, responsible for creating the iconic sounds of early Doctor Who – everything from the Daleks’ distinctive voices to the powerful roar of the TARDIS. He’s one of the many voices featured in my new book, You Are Not Alone: A Gay History of Doctor Who, which also includes contributions from original director Waris Hussein, actors Katy Manning, Matt Lucas, Mandip Gill, and Matthew Waterhouse, and current showrunner Russell T Davies. Published in time for UK Pride Month, the book explores how British society’s views on LGBTQ+ rights have changed over the show’s 63-year history.

Warren’s Crypto War: Democrats’ Epic Faceplant or Genius Move?

Crypto King Barry Silbert

According to Axios (the gossip column of the political world), high-profile Democrats are practically tripping over themselves to get Warren’s stamp of approval. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear even had a private tea party with her-because nothing screams “2028 strategy” like a cozy cuppa and a side of crypto hatred. And let’s not forget Gavin Newsom, who’s apparently texting her more than his own wife. #RelationshipGoals?

007 First Light Pre-Load is Only Available on PS5 Ahead of Launch

7 Shows That Prove The 2000s Were The Golden Age For Comfort Rewatches

Even hit shows with big budgets, like Bridgerton and Stranger Things, now take a long time between seasons—Stranger Things often has gaps of over a year. But back in the 2000s, TV shows typically had 20 or more episodes per season, and new seasons came out much more frequently. That might explain why shows from the 2000s are still so popular for cozy re-watches, even years later, as these 7 shows demonstrate.

7 Overrated Marvel Heroes and How to Fix Them

Nintendo Released the Perfect Wii Game Over 2 Decades Ago & It Was a First for the Company

The original Super Mario Galaxy was a huge success for Nintendo, revolutionizing 3D platforming games. Surprisingly, Nintendo followed it up with Super Mario Galaxy 2, the first direct sequel in the 3D Mario series. Previous games like Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 3D World built on existing ideas, but didn’t continue the story or gameplay in the same way. Even after more than fifteen years, Nintendo hasn’t quite recaptured the magic of the Galaxy games, although a new game for the Nintendo Switch 2 might change that.

She-Hulk’s MCU Return Chances Addressed, 4 Years After the Show Ended

Tatiana Maslany recently discussed with Radio Times the possibility of reprising her role as She-Hulk in future Marvel projects. Given the mixed reactions to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – including both legitimate criticism and negative review-bombing – it’s understandable why the question came up. Maslany also publicly supported a call to boycott Disney after Jimmy Kimmel was briefly suspended last September (according to Deadline), which led to some speculation about her current standing with the company.
