“Meet the professionals” is an annual event run by RTS Southern and hosted at Bournemouth University, with support from Isabel Forrest, Senior Lecturer In Media Production.
A panel of professionals, chaired by Gordon Cooper from the RTS, discussed how they started and built careers in TV, before meeting the students informally in groups.
If you were sadly born without inheritance in your family tree, Studio Lambert and Channel 4 have a plan to rectify that. Named The Inheritance, the programme invites 12 strangers to an English country mansion to fight it out for a pot of cash, left behind by a figure aptly known as “The Deceased.” It’s easy to see why Studio Lambert described it as “part Knives Out, part Succession.”
The theory goes that ex-Islanders are the only ones who have gone through this unique experience – months with no distractions but each other, failed public love affairs, and being catapulted into the public eye – so they must be well suited. With last series’ winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare having just bought their first home together, it now has a proven track record.
A gameshow like no other, The Traitors is like a mix between a murder mystery and a reality show. It has birthed some iconic pop culture moments, from Maddy trusting no one in series one, to essentially everything Diane did in series two, to host Claudia Winkleman’s knitwear collection.
That makes now the perfect time to brush up on who’s who in the house, before one of them, um, isn’t in the house.
Its contestants don’t “crack on” immediately or pull each other for chats at the firepit – they are parents with real baggage tentatively giving themselves a second chance at love.
Each of the eight parents have their children nearby to their Sussex mansion in what they call ‘the bunker’ (but in reality is a gorgeous farmhouse). The kids watch their parent’s every move through a live stream and witness every awkward moment that comes with that.
The launch on Monday 3 June will see 10 contestants (often nicknamed ‘the OGs’) enter the villa and pair off. At the end of the episode, a bombshell will enter to shake these couples up, and anyone left single at the next ‘re-coupling’ will be dumped from the island. Over eight weeks plenty more bombshells will enter, with the cast usually totalling over 30.
Only four couples will make it to the final, and then it’s up to the public to vote for their favourite, who will split £50,000 between them.
But this time they’re welcoming five new faces, including a member of the Vanderpump family.
This series will see Reza Amiri-Garroussi and Ruby Adler still on shaky ground after their attempts to reconcile in Sydney. This reunion is causing a strain on Ruby and Emily Blackwell’s friendship, as Ruby doesn’t want to hear Emily’s opinions on Reza. Sam Prince and Yasmine Zweegers' relationship status is also as yet unclear.
SHARK! Celebrity Infested Waters sees celebs sink their teeth into their fear of oceans by jumping into shark infested waters. The as yet unconfirmed ‘A-listers’ will be swimming with gradually bigger and more dangerous sharks off Bimini, an island in The Bahamas home to 10 different breeds of shark.
On top of this, the stars will be educated on why sharks aren’t quite as intimidating as they seem, learning about their place in the ecosystem and why the world without them would actually be a lot scarier than the sharks themselves.
But what does escrow really mean? Who is this Christine they keep referencing? Does The Oppenheim Group have anything to do with the Christopher Nolan Box Office hit? (Not even slightly). And how many members of the office has Jason Oppenheim really dated?
Read on to have real estate jargon demystified through our Selling Sunset Glossary, get an overview of the office dynamics in the “drama tree” and meet The Oppenheim Group agents…
