David Mitchell And Robert Webb To Reunite For New Channel 4 Comedy 'Back'


David Mitchell Robert Webb

‘Peep Show’ may have finally come to an end last year, but David Mitchell and Robert Webb are certainly not done yet. The comedy duo are to reunite for a new sitcom entitled ‘Back’ for Channel 4, about a dysfunctional family in the pub business.

The new show is to be written along with Simon Blackwell, who helped co-write some of the later episodes of ‘Peep Show’ which finally came to an end last December, after nine series and 12 years. He’s also a sometime collaborator with Armando Ianucci, working with him on political satires ‘The Thick of It’, its movie spin-off In The Loop and American version ‘Veep’.

Mitchell will play Stephen, who inherits the family’s pub business after the death of his father, but his plans are thrown off course when his former foster brother Andrew (played by Webb) re-appears in his life and wants to join in.

Up All Night Trailer


Spring is here and 'Friday Download' presenters Richard, Dionne, George, Shannon and Bobby decide to set out on a road trip together; a holiday that should boast fun and frolics, but things start going wrong from the off. Their van is slowly breaking down and somehow manages to get stuck up a tree outside... where else? A large and very old haunted house. They are forced to beg hospitality from the unusual homeowners, but they soon wish they hadn't when furniture starts moving on its own, books fly off shelves and strange apparitions haunt their evenings. However, they can't help but feel sorry for the owners of the house, who may be forced to allow it to be knocked to the ground if they can't raise funds to keep it. The gang decide to raise the money themselves, and host a special music event called Friday Fest, though it doesn't quite go to plan...

David Mitchell

Jonathan Franzen, the polarising writer considered by some as the finest of his generation, will release his new novel, Purity, next autumn. Described as a "multigenerational American epic", the book will be Franzen's fifth novel and first since 2010's Freedom stormed the bestseller chart.

Purity tells the story of Purity Tyler, a young woman searching for her father - moving from American to South America and East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Jonathan Galassi, president of publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux said the story hinged on "the mystery of Pip's family history and her relationship with a charismatic hacker and whistleblower".

Now, Why Isn't Dona Tarrt Nominated For The Man Booker Prize 2014?


David Mitchell Booker Prize

In the first year since opening up nominations to international writers, The Man Booker Prize has announced its longlist for 2014 with almost a third of writers coming from America. In a much criticised decision, organisers of the prestigious literary prize announced last year that the rules of eligibility were changing - prompting fears that the list would be swamped by U.S. writers.

Of the 13 longlisted authors for 2014, Joshua Ferris, Karen Joy Fowler, Siri Hustvedt and Richard Powers would not have been eligible under the original rules. Nevertheless, judges left of American author Dona Tartt, whose novel The Goldfinch won the Pulitzer Prize.

The story, about a boy tripping on his mother's Valium pills, will be told Tweet by Tweet – using 280 updates, to be exact - over the next seven days. “Once the idea that I could use Twitter as a storytelling medium bit me, it wouldn't leave me alone,” said the author of his new project, according to The Guardian.

The 10 Funniest 'Peep Show' Quotes


David Mitchell Robert Webb

Channel 4’s hit series Peep Show is set to return for its 9th, and final, series this year. It’s almost too much to bear thinking that we may not see Mark, Jeremy, Super Hans, Big Suze and the gang again after 2014. In the meantime, while we wait for the show to return to our screens we thought we’d reminisce about some of our favourite Peep Show moments. Peep Show’s been running for over ten years now, so fortunately, there’s quite a lot of them!

David Mitchell Robert Webb Peep Show Mark and Jeremy, played by David Mitchell and Robert Webb, will appear for the last time this year

Mark: (while jogging in the park) I'm brilliant, I'm a jogger. I'm running! I knew there had to be a sport for me... Oh, God, is that a stitch? I'm literally going to die, What an idiotic boob I was about 10 or 11 seconds ago!

Open Water 2: Adrift Review


Weak
Who knew you could build a movie franchise around people just floating in the ocean?

Open Water 2: Adrift is in no way a sequel to the original Open Water, except that both feature people bobbing helplessly in the water. In the original, the sharks get them (more or less) after one couple's SCUBA charter leaves them behind. In this follow-up, six Gen-X'ers jump off a luxury yacht and into the water... but *d'oh!* no one put the ladder down, so they can't get back aboard. How will they get aboard? Well aside from the obvious (which occurs to them at the very end), they'll try everything from jumping in the water to making ropes out of bikini tops.
