Jimmy Carr will oversee the events, his iconic laugh no doubt making each comics job just that little bit harder.
The 2001 film Legally Blonde followed Elle after her boyfriend Warner Huntington III, an aspiring senator, broke up with her because she wasn’t “serious” enough for that kind of world. This sparked the famous line: “So you’re breaking up with me because I’m too… blonde?!”
To prove him wrong, Elle enrols in Harvard Law School alongside him (“what, like it’s hard?”) and graduates top of the class.
The new series, Elle, will focus on the high school years that crafted Woods into the star we saw in Legally Blonde.

In many ways, what inspired The Power was my whole life,” is how author Naomi Alderman begins her roller-coaster tale. “I had just had a really bad break-up – one of those break-ups where you wake up every morning crying – and, having had this terrible break-up, I got on the Tube and saw a poster advertising a movie, which had a beautiful woman crying.
Later this month, Prime Video will premiere The Power, transporting viewers to an alternate reality where teenage girls have the power to electrocute people at will.
The trailer offers a taster of the series' multiple, concurrent narratives. Stories are bound by the central theme, but set across the globe, featuring locations such as London, Seattle, Nigeria and Eastern Europe. The patriarchal power balance is reimagined in this fantastical dramedy, but what kind of effect will it have on society? “Power saves, power corrupts” reads the trailer.
