Nicholas Ralph plays a young vet named James Herriot, who lands his first job working for the quirky Siegfried Farnon (Samuel West), who runs a small practice serving the needs of area farmers. James quickly falls in love with Darrowby and its colorful residents.

Kathy Burke has hit out at Jeremy Clarkson after the former Top Gear presenter came under fire for vitriolic remarks about Meghan Markle.
In a newspaper column this week, Clarkson wrote that he despises the Duchess of Sussex “on a cellular level” and dreams of people throwing “excrement” at her in the street.
He also said he hated Markle, “not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West”, but on a “cellular level”.
Clarkson’s comments, written in The Sun on Friday 16 December in response to the Harry and Meghan documentary on Netflix, were widely condemned as “vile and disgusting”.
Now, comedian and actor Burke has weighed in, tweeting on Sunday 18 December: “Watched the rest of #HarryandMeganNetflix. Still think they’re pretty great and I love their relationship with Meghan’s gorgeous mum, Doria.
“Wishing them continued happiness and people like that colossal c*** Clarkson continued pain with the thought of it.

Japan has been a source of endless entertainment and inspiration for our western culture, with the obvious being movies like The Ring or Battle Royale (which is thought by many to be one of the inspirations behind the Hunger Games series). Even video games such as Zelda and Final Fantasy have raised the bar for what is expected. Then we have the less obvious TV shows such as Wipeout and Hole In The Wall – even the format for Dragon’s Den is taken from a Japanese show!
Finally, we have some items that are just so outrageous that it sadly looks like they won’t be influencing our lives anytime soon. This article, however, is a homage to them. Let’s take a look at 10 of the weird, wonderful and most insane Japanese video games of all time.

Hear what the Pm has to say in our audio interactive
David Mitchell, comedian
Do you wish you were less posh?
"[Laughs] No. You can't change who you are. For a long time I thought my full name was 'The Old Etonian David Cameron'. I had parents who gave me a wonderful start in life, who sacrificed a lot to give me a great education. So I don't ever want to change – I don't want to drop my accent or change my vowels. I am who I am."
Piers Morgan, TV presenter
If you could relive one moment in your life, excluding births of children and marriage, what would it be?
"God, that's a really good question. Piers, why don't you ever ask really good questions like that normally? I...

The quest for a Viagra for women is all part of a commodification of sex that is at odds with an intimate human freedom
Charletta adjusts the dial on the remote device that controls the electrodes surgically inserted into her spinal column. Her left leg begins to twitch alarmingly. Her inability to climax during sexual intercourse, to remedy which is why she is taking part in the clinical trial of the Orgasmatron, remains unmoved. "But it's useful if I want to kick someone in the ass," she observes.
Welcome to Orgasm Inc, which has its British premiere next week as part of the Bird's Eye View festival. It is a wry and unsqueamish piece of film-making by the American documentary-maker Liz Canner, who has spent the best part of the last decade charting charted the race to market the first medical cure for female sexual dysfunction (Fsd), and attempted to...

Ex-mp George Galloway is flying to the Us hoping to meet Hollywood producers who will back him to make a documentary about Palestinians in Gaza. But he'd be wasting his talents
One of the only absolutes to emerge so far from this wreckage of an election is the fact that a handful of MPs are now out of a job. But while Lembit Öpik looks certain to go down the Neil and Christine Hamilton route of gurning through every demeaning reality TV show he's offered until his soul has completely eroded and Jacqui Smith will dedicate the rest of her life to never letting her husband out of her sight, George Galloway has his eyes set on something a little more lofty.
Now that his 23-year tenure as an MP has come to an end following his third-place disappointment in Poplar and Limehouse last week, Galloway has decided to turn...

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has admitted accidentally charging two pornographic films to the taxpayer as part of her expenses. Smith submitted a £67 bill for Virgin Media in June last year, which included two unnamed 18-rated features watched in her home on April 1 and April 6 at £5 each. It also included £3.50 to watch Surf's Up and two payments of £3.75 for two viewings of Ocean's 13. A friend told Pa: "To say she's angry with her husband is an understatement. Jacqui was not there when these films were watched. She's furious and mortified." In a statement, Smith said: (more)...
