She wasn’t exaggerating. The same profile noted that, of the 14,488 messages marked for review by the BBC’s online abuse monitoring system (between 1 January and late June in 2023), 11,771 were directed at the broadcaster’s Disinformation and Social Media Correspondent.

It’s a tragic irony of the job that, by investigating cases of online hate you inevitably become the victim of one. And yet Spring refuses to back down from this new virtual front line, ie, her inbox.

We Go Again (working title) features three siblings striving for optimism while concealing a dark secret.

When their mother disappears, the siblings will do anything to outmanoeuvre the authorities to stay away from social services and stay together as a family.

Described as “an irreverent portrait of black working-class teenage life”, the six-part drama explores growing up through council estates, big dreams, and with “thumping great heart.”

Lou Wood stars as Evie, who hosts a film club for her friend Tom every Thursday at 9.00pm. Each week, she transforms her garage into the perfect setting to watch the film of choice – for Wizard of Oz, a yellow brick road, for Alien, a spacecraft. She tells herself it’s because she loves the movies, but she is secretly harbouring a love for Tom.

The show follows teen investigator Pip Fitz-Amobi as she tries to prove the innocence of Sal Singh, who is accused of murdering his girlfriend Andie Bell five years ago. If Sal really isn’t guilty – despite what everyone in his town thinks – then the real killer is still at large. Anyone would go to great lengths to protect a secret that terrible: Pip will need to keep her wits about her. 

Shah may not be the most politically well-connected of BBC Chairs or have the experience of running a large-scale organisation, but his broadcasting and television credentials are impeccable.

He is also the organisation’s first Chair of colour and, whereas recent BBC leaders such as Gavyn Davies, David Clementi and Richard Sharp all had successful careers in the City before being given the BBC job, the new Chair’s background is steeped in television journalism.

Although known for his stand-up, Bill Bailey has had his fair share of acting roles, from Black Books to Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. As host of Bring the Drama he will guide the eight contestants through an acting bootcamp like no other.

Kelly Valentine Hendry, casting director of shows such as Ghosts, Broadchurch, and Bridgerton, will be acting as mentor throughout the series, taking the wannabe actors to the sets from popular dramas Peaky Blinders, EastEnders and Silent Witness.

Hosting duties moved to Canada for 2022’s series, where the main distinction seemed to be that the winner was crowned “Queen of the Motherpucking World.”

Unlike the regular series of Drag Race, the power to make someone ‘sashay away’ is not in RuPaul’s hands. At the end of each challenge, the top two contestants lip-sync for the chance to not only win the episode, but to choose which of the worst performing queens to expel. In previous series, this has knocked out some top performing fan favourites early in the competition.

Revenge: Our Dad the Nazi Killer is written and directed by Danny Ben-Moshe, and concerns Nazi hunter groups established by Jewish vigilantes in post-war Australia. The film follows three brothers as they try and see if their dad and uncle, both of whom survived the Holocaust, were involved.
