Heinz Baked Beans - British and American baked beans are NOT the same. Perfect for a full English breakfast, beans on toast, or a bean and cheese jacket potato, British baked beans are less sweet, with more emphasis on the tomato flavour. |
In the Works...
A little peek at some of the British films and TV shows currently in some stage of production. It's too soon to have dates, but it can be fun to know what's ahead.
- The Light in the Hall, Season 2 - This bilingual Welsh and English series returns to Wales to film a second season in October 2024.
- Father Brown, Seasons 12 & 14 - This isn't NEW news, but we've had a few people ask recently so we wanted to mention that Father Brown has been renewed for seasons 12 and 13. Based on typical release patterns, we would expect to see season 12 in January 2025 and season 13 in January 2026 (but of course, that's not official).
- Criminal Record, Season 2 - This Apple TV+ crime drama has been renewed for a second season with Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo.
- The Donovans - This upcoming Paramount+ series has offered the following description: With the most powerful clients in Europe, The Donovans will see family fortunes and reputations at risk, odd alliances unfold, and betrayal around every corner; and while the family might be London’s most elite fixers today, the nature of their business means there is no guarantee what’s in store tomorrow. The Donovans follows two generations of gangsters, the businesses they run, the complex relationships they weave and the man they call upon to fix their problem.
- Madame Blanc Mysteries, Season 4 - Acorn TV has announced that Sally Lindsay and her fellow cast members will be returning to Malta to film another season of this fun antiques-oriented cosy mystery.
Tell her she best interrogate me in a room with a window. I had lamb bhuna earlier that’s gonna make its presence felt.
