Television and film stars can seem to be larger than life. Given their apparent talent, confidence, and charisma, fans may believe that these stars are simply destined for success. However, it is important to remember that they are just people. Even the most gifted performers can be discouraged like everyone else. Many stars nearly quit acting because they were discouraged by others. One such individual is the highly talented Mark Bonnar. Luckily for his fans, Bonnar persevered and has become a highly acclaimed actor. He has appeared in productions like Casualty, Shetland, and today stars in the highly popular Catastrophe.

Russ Abbot, Bullseye, Noel Edmonds and a film we all watched in the same room. Christmas TV was more exciting in the 80s...
Cast your mind back to when Christmas Day wasn't about Doctor Who followed by sticking something on Netflix until it was time to go watch the annual fist fight outside the pub.

In the 80s, Christmas was about seeing which fantastic fare the TV had decided to bless us with. Of course, the more prepared among us knew this well in advance, having eagerly pored over the Radio Times/TV Times to check that Jimmy Cricket's Family Laugh 'n' Waz would be shown. There it was – right after Reflections On The Eucharist With The Reverend Paul Leyland.

The world of Doctor Who has changed greatly in the space of just 10 years. The cast and crew have almost completely been replaced since 2005, including a number of new actors to play the errant Time Lord and his companions.
But what has happened to the class of '05? Where are Rose and Mickey now? What is the writer of 'Dalek' up to? And where can you see more work from the director of 'Rose'?
Here it is then, your guide to the main players of Doctor Who series one.
The Cast
After his three-month on-screen stint as the Doctor, Christopher Eccleston's career continued in much the same vein, taking in theatre, interesting television roles and the odd blockbuster.
Post-2005, the Northern actor went Stateside to take on the role of invisible man Claude in the Us series Heroes. From there, he popped up in a very amusing Doctor Who-esque cameo as Dr.

First of all, something of an apology. I have been writing this column thinking that every single title due for release the following Monday would of course be released via some kind of pay to stream service. Of course it would, we are living in the future, and this is how things are done isn’t it?
Apparently not, last week I included Jeremy Saulnier’s much loved Blue Ruin in the pay to stream section and then it didn’t come out the way I thought it might. Turns out that some companies still have a fairly limited release pattern so Blue Ruin was released by channel 4’s DVD label and appeared on DVD and Blu but didn’t show up to stream on any of the major providers, not even Sky Store or Playstation Network.
So turns out that being a channel 4 release, you can of course rent...

So Edgar Wright won’t direct Ant-Man for Marvel after years of developing it with them. Let’s mourn the lost potential and, since he already made a superhero comic book film with Scott Pilgrim, celebrate his freedom to go make something independent of a well-established universe. Since we’re already doing one or the other (or a little bit of both), we might as well amplify the efforts now that Drew Goddard won’t be running the new Daredevil for Netflix. Latino-Review broke the news on the heels of Wright’s exit that the absurdly tall Cabin in the Woods writer/director will slide away from showrunner status to become a consultant for the blind superhero’s new adventures. Taking his place, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is Steven S. DeKnight (Spartacus, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as Goddard focuses all of his energy on Sony’s Sinister Six. It would be reactionary and not at all...

'The Big Reunion' girl bands could be in line for their own tour after being snubbed from the upcoming boy band tour. 5ive singer Scott Robinson claims bands including Atomic Kitten, Girl Thing and Eternal may embark on their own tour following news that concert promoters have decided to cash in on strong ticket sales among women by launching a tour solely featuring boy bands such as Blue, 5ive, 3T, Damage, A1 and 5th Story. He told Bang Showbiz: ''I'm sure there's talks ... I'm sure the girls will get an opportunity to do a tour as well. ''At the end of the...

The Big Reunion is on tour again, but this time it's a lads only affair, with 5ive, Blue, 911, Damage, 5th Story, 3T and A1 heading to an arena near you in October.
Digital Spy got on the phone with 5ive's Sean Conlon and Scott Robinson, and Anthony Costa, Simon Webbe and Lee Ryan of Blue, and quizzed them all about it.
"On the first tour there was a little bit of healthy competition, a little bit of banter. Who's going to play where... who's going to open, who's going to close," Conlon said when asked if there had been a running order squabble fest.
"But we never expected to play arenas again, so this is just a bonus really. I think nobody's bothered anymore, we just want to get on tour, have some fun and just have a great laugh.
"Blue are a little bit later, but we're all bands from the '90s.

You all know the story by now: Spaced begat Shaun Of The Dead begat Hot Fuzz, establishing him as one of filmmaking's hottest directing talents, with an astonishing eye for visual flair and attention to detail.

Big Reunion stars 5ive have issued a strong warning to Simon Cowell's latest boyband One Direction about the perils of fame.
Watch 5ive issuing a warning to One Direction below:
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Sean Conlon, Scott Robinson, Ritchie Neville and Abz Love argued that One Direction needed "protection" and said that they would inevitably "lose their marbles" eventually.
"They're little kids. When they go to bed at night, there's no way the phenomenon isn't messing with their heads," said Conlon.
5ive will appear in the final episode of Big Reunion on ITV2 at 9pm tonight (March 28).
The Big Reunion Live is released on DVD on April 1.

ITV2's Big Reunion has been the best TV show of 2013 so far. Full stop. Every 'serious' drama, oh-so-dull crime procedural and glossy Us import has paled in comparison to the explosive fall-outs and grisly secrets of the British pop industry of the '90s.
The stars of the show have been '90s bad boys of pop 5ive. A group who imploded so dramatically that they now only have four members. But we don't talk about that.
Watch 5ive playing 'High Fives or Bunch of Fives' and the 'Lyrics Game':
The four boys still standing - Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, Abz Love and Scott Robinson - paid a visit to Digital Spy Towers this week to launch the Big Reunion DVD, and we tried to lighten the mood with the guys by playing some games with them.

911 have predicted that Jason 'J' Brown will regret snubbing The Big Reunion.
The 'Bodyshakin' boyband have made a comeback on the ITV2 show, along with Brown's former band 5ive, B*Witched, Atomic Kitten, Honeyz, Liberty X and Blue.
Brown decided not to join up with his former bandmates Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, Abz Love and Scott Robinson on the show.
"I tell you what, he might regret it," 911's Lee Brennan told Heat. "He's obviously got his personal reasons for doing it, but maybe after he's seen this show."
Spike Dawbarn revealed that Brown was never a fan of being part of 5ive, and even turned down the chance to join 911 in the mid-1990s.
He said: "Jay never wanted to do it the first time. My cousin used to go out with him, so we know each other and I was asking her about it and she said, 'I've spoke to him.

The Inbetweeners star Blake Harrison is to star in new BBC Three sitcom Way to Go. The six-part series is described as a "black comedy" about three men who set up an assisted-suicide business. Harrison will play Scott, who devises the desperate scheme when his terminally ill neighbour asks for his help to die and his brother Joey (Ben Heathcote) is in desperate need of cash to pay off his gambling debts. Marc Wootton (Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger) will also star as Scott and Joey's friend Cozzo, with Laura Aikman (Casualty), Sinéad Matthews (Ideal) and Hannah Job (Coming of Age) rounding out the regular cast. Zai Bennett, controller of BBC Three, said: "Bob Kushell's scripts are in turn dark, poignant, absurd, moving and brilliant. But mostly they are very, very funny. I'm thrilled that (more)...

“I just want you to know that I’m coming to find you, and when I do I’m going to shoot you…” – Terrence
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
The series finale of Entourage was the very definition of bittersweet for me.
On the one hand I was sad that a show I’d watched since day one and invested eight years in was coming to an end, but on the other hand I was glad, because the end of the show also signified the end of my reviews. Constantly casting a critical eye over the show this season has left me resenting it for consistently failing to deliver anything of substance for me to analyse, and I don’t want that to be the way I remember a show that for seven years previously I’d enjoyed almost every minute of.

“Are you the Dana that our Mom hates…?” – Jonah
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
It’s getting harder and harder to review this season of Entourage rather than simply just recapping events from each episode; as evidenced by the fact that my review of ‘Whiz Kid’ last week turned in to more of a rant about the season in general than a review of the episode. But with very little plot progression each week it’s difficult not to sound like a broken record.
There’s been some considerable debate in recent years amongst TV critics on the differences between a review and a recap, and personally I always try and keep my writing in line with the former rather than the latter.
Until I started covering the show weekly for What Culture! Entourage was never really a show on my radar for reviews precisely for the reasons listed in those opening two sentences.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
It’s getting harder and harder to review this season of Entourage rather than simply just recapping events from each episode; as evidenced by the fact that my review of ‘Whiz Kid’ last week turned in to more of a rant about the season in general than a review of the episode. But with very little plot progression each week it’s difficult not to sound like a broken record.

Well, that's it, it seems, for the highly-anticipated return of Ridley Scott to the Alien franchise. The 73 year-old director has worked so extensively on the script by Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof and many other sources of input that the famous movie monster, known for a complicated life-cycle, has evolved itself into...nothing. The Alien Paradise project, rumoured to have an Avatar-style jungle-vibe, is now a new and original Sf movie called Prometheus, starring Noomi Rapace.
Prometheus was the Titan in Greek mythology that gave the gift of fire to mortals and subsequently got referenced a lot during the industrial revolution, most notably in Mary Shelley's alternative title for Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus, and this seems to fit in with what we have heard about the Alien prequel script featuring a race of creatures (formerly the 'Space Jockey' species found fossilised in 1979's Alien) that genetically engineer a deadly...

Scottish singer with a second career on TV
Tam White, who has died after a heart attack aged 67, was once described by the musician Alexis Korner as "the greatest undiscovered blues talent of our time". White was a highly accomplished blues and jazz singer whose career stretched from the beat group scene of the 1960s to recent appearances at the Edinburgh jazz and blues festival.
The son of a lorry driver and a cleaner, he grew up in Edinburgh, living above the White Hart Inn, in Grassmarket, where Robert Burns had stayed in 1791. (White would later set Burns's poem The Slave's Lament to music for a track on his 2004 album Hold On.) The Whites were a musical family: Tam's grandfather was a bandmaster and his mother, Marion, was a fine singer. At Darroch secondary school in Edinburgh, White sang in productions of The Beggar's Opera and The Mikado, and he...

Julia Roberts has yet to be surpassed. Back in September of last year I asked Who's the Next Big Male Movie Star? At the time Robert Pattinson Fever had spread all over the Internet and the conversation resulted in a wasted experiment as commenters weren't able to have a real debate. However, a few people did ask for a similar feature for the females and I have finally gotten around to putting it together. With the males the name I was looking at in comparison was Will "Guaranteed Box-Office Gold" Smith. With the females I was unable to come up with a name that lives up to the career Julia Roberts put together and she remained my muse. When Pretty Woman came out in 1990 Julia was 22-years-old and had just starred in and won a Golden Globe for Steel Magnolias. Over the following nine years she worked her way into...

In The Spotlight – River City
When we last took a peek at BBC Scotland drama River City, gay graphic designer Scott Wallace had lost the child he cared about — not to mention the guy he cared about. Since that storyline wrapped up, Scott has pretty much disappeared; however, a few weeks ago, the show introduced an intriguing new gay character in the very nice form of construction worker Nathan Simpson, played by James Daffern.
When Nathan set up shop in River City, he immediately found himself attracted to bartender Rory Murdoch, played by out actor David Paisley. While Rory was flattered by Nathan’s attentions, Rory is straight … or so he says.

When Rory arrived in River City for Christmas back in 2007, he found himself clashing with his father, Lenny, the local gangster in town. Rory has never been involved in his father...
