If you’re making your way through BBC One’s latest drama, Wild Cherry, chances are that you’ve been toe-tapping your way through each episode.

As well as taking us on quite the twisted journey through wealthy ‘island’ Richford Lake, the series centres on a scandal that rips through the local girls’ school and plummets teenage best friends Grace (Imogen Faires) and Allegra (Amelia May) into the spotlight.

But along with all the drama and backstabbing also comes a catchy soundtrack that is packed full of songs, ranging from artists like Jordan Rakei, Dave and Lykke Li. The title song itself is an original one that was crafted by the show’s creator and writer Nicôle Lecky, who also showed off her musical talents in previous series Mood.

She told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive chat for Pass the Mic: “It was always my intention, actually, I should say, to do the title music. I thought that was quite fun. Rotem and I got into a studio and we created the song – and that became the title track.”

But what other songs feature in Wild Cherry? Read on to find out.

Here’s Why the BBC Banned ‘Star Trek’ … and Yvonne Craig

by jummy84
written by jummy84

I was too young to watch Star Trek when it originally aired on NBC during the sixties. However, because the show experienced such a revival through the syndicated market, I got to know every single episode by heart through repeated viewings and by reading James Blish’s fantastic adaptations in those old Bantam paperbacks. The original version of Trek, with its groundbreaking stories and diverse cast, pushed boundaries in the 1960s. But across the pond, the BBC had different ideas about what was appropriate for audiences, primarily children, and banned several episode of the show.

BBC Resigning Director General on Trump Scandal: 'Fight for Journalism'

BBC Resigning Director General on Trump Scandal: ‘Fight for Journalism’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Outgoing BBC director general Tim Davie, who resigned on Sunday amid a scandal over documentary program “Panorama’s” editing of Donald Trump‘s Jan. 6 speech, addressed his staff at the broadcaster’s headquarters on Tuesday.

According to BBC News, Davie acknowledged during a 40-minute town hall alongside chair Samir Shah that “we did make a mistake” in the editing of Trump’s speech, but told staff: “I think we’ve got to fight for our journalism.”

He gave three reasons for his departure, including the scandal over the “Panorama” documentary on Trump as well as the BBC’s upcoming charter renewal in 2027 and the “relentless” nature of the role. He insisted that the BBC will “survive” his departure and said several times that he is “fiercely proud of this organization.”

A timeline for Davie’s departure was not given, but Shah said the BBC board was in “succession mode.” Davie said he has “no regrets” about his time at the BBC and “wouldn’t change a thing.” He did not address Trump’s $1 billion legal threat to the BBC, but said political pressures were “challenging.”

On Monday, Trump sent a letter to the broadcaster threatening to sue for $1 billion unless the episode of “Panorama” was retracted, he received a formal apology and payment to “appropriately compensate President Trump for the harm caused.”

Controversy erupted over the weekend after a leaked memo from former BBC Editorial Guidelines and Standards committee adviser Michael Prescott was published by The Telegraph suggesting that “Panorama” edited a Trump speech to make it sound like he encouraged the Jan. 6 riots. It resulted in the shocking resignations of both Davie and CEO of news Deborah Turness on Sunday night.

Prescott’s memo said “Panorama” edited Trump’s speech to be: “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you and we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore.” Prescott wrote that Trump said the part beginning with “and we fight” 54 minutes after “we’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you.”

On Monday, BBC chair Samir Shah  apologized for the edit in a letter to the U.K. culture, media and sport committee and called it an “error of judgement.” Speaking with the BBC’s Katie Razzall following the letter’s publication, Shah said that he has been in contact with Trump’s team and is considering personally apologizing to the president. 

The BBC has been flanked by several other controversies this year, including a Gaza documentary that was found to be a “serious breach” of Ofcom’s broadcasting rules and its handling of controversy at Glastonbury Festival when it aired the punk duo Bob Vylan chanting “death to the IDF.”

Davie and Turness’ departure timeline and who exactly will replace them remains unclear.

'Celebrity Traitors' Renewed for Season 2 at the BBC

‘Celebrity Traitors’ Renewed for Season 2 at the BBC

by jummy84
written by jummy84

It’s official: a handful of Britain’s celebrities will return to the Scottish Highlands in 2026 for a second season of The Celebrity Traitors.

The hugely popular reality show — now an international success after installments in various territories, including in the U.S., Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Greece and India — is set to return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer next year, with Claudia Winkleman playing host.

The first season of the U.K.’s Celebrity Traitors, which wrapped Thursday with a jaw-dropping finale that saw comedian-turned-traitor Alan Carr swoop in and nab the entire prize fund for his chosen charity, has become the biggest unscripted series in the U.K. since 2021. The debut episode of the show is now the biggest unscripted title on TV so far this year with 14.8 million views over 28 days in Britain.

The finale also broke records, according to the BBC, averaging 11.1 million viewers with a peak of 12 million, making it the biggest overnight audience in the market since the BBC’s own record-breaking Gavin & Stacey viewing on Dec. 25 last year, and biggest overnight share (81 percent) since the European Championships of soccer. The final episode had 1.9 million live requests on BBC iPlayer, which makes it the highest live-viewing number for any entertainment episode of all time on iPlayer.

Among some of the more high-profile names on the first season were actor-presenter Stephen Fry, Bridget Jones star Celia Imrie, singer-songwriter Paloma Faith, Olympian Tom Daley, chat show host Jonathan Ross and Ted Lasso‘s Nick Mohammed.

Along with series two of The Celebrity Traitors, podcast agency Platform Media will produce new episodes of companion show The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, available via BBC Sounds, BBC Two and iPlayer, the BBC said.

The announcement of series two coincides with the publication of a new report that reveals the entire Traitors franchise has generated an estimated 21.8 million pound boost for Scotland’s economy since 2022.

Head of entertainment at the BBC Kalpna Patel-Knight said: “Studio Lambert have done an outstanding job as The Celebrity Traitors has well and truly captivated the nation, becoming a bona fide highlight of the year bringing record numbers of people together to enjoy every twist and turn.”

“In 2026 the doors of the castle will be opened again to welcome celebrity players to the game to see who can charm, who can scheme and ultimately who can survive in series two, which promises to be just as unmissable as the first,” she added.

Donald Trump Threatens Legal Action Against BBC Over Speech Editing

Donald Trump Threatens Legal Action Against BBC Over Speech Editing

by jummy84
written by jummy84

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened the BBC with legal action over documentary program “Panorama’s” editing of the speech he made ahead of the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.

According to BBC News, the BBC confirmed it has received the letter and will “respond in due course.”

Controversy erupted over the weekend after a leaked memo from former BBC adviser Michael Prescott was published by The Telegraph suggesting that “Panorama” edited a Trump speech to make it sound like he encouraged the Jan. 6 riots. It resulted in the shocking resignations of both BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of news Deborah Turness on Sunday night.

On Monday, BBC Chair Samir Shah apologized for the edit in a letter to the U.K. culture, media and sport committee and called it an “error of judgement.” Speaking with the BBC’s Katie Razzall following the letter’s publication, Shah said that he has been in contact with Trump’s team and is considering personally apologizing to the president. Asked if Trump will sue the BBC, Shah said: “I do not know that yet, but he’s a litigious fellow so we should be prepared for all outcomes.”

Prescott’s memo said “Panorama” edited Trump’s speech to be: “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you and we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore.” Prescott wrote that Trump said the part beginning with “and we fight” 54 minutes after “we’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you.”

Trump celebrated the news of Davie and Turness’ resignations on Sunday night, calling the organization “corrupt ‘journalists.’”

“These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election,” Trump wrote. “On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country, one that many consider our Number One Ally. What a terrible thing for Democracy!”

In September, Trump sued the New York Times for $15 billion claiming defamation and libel, which was tossed out days later by a judge. Last month, he refiled the suit.

Trump Celebrates Exit of BBC Director General and CEO of News

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the exit of the BBC’s director general, Tim Davie, and the CEO of News, Deborah Turness. The shocking step-downs came days after BBC’s documentary program Panorama was accused of doctoring Trump’s Jan. 6 speech to make it look like he incited the Capitol riots.

“The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught ‘doctoring’ my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th,” Trump wrote. “Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt ‘Journalists.’ These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election. On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country, one that many consider our Number One Ally. What a terrible thing for Democracy!”

As noted by Trump, The Telegraph put the network in hot water after publishing the details of a 19-page dossier on BBC bias by a former independent external advisor to the BBC’s standards committee. The report claimed that Panorama spliced together footage that made Trump “‘say’ things [he] never actually said.” One of the Panorama sound bites shows Trump declaring he would march with his supporters to the Capitol and “fight like hell,” when he actually told them to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

In an exit note to BBC staff, Davie wrote, “Like all public organisations, the BBC is not perfect, and we must always be open, transparent and accountable. While not being the only reason, the current debate around BBC News has understandably contributed to my decision. Overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as Director-General I have to take ultimate responsibility.”

Turness, in her own statement, said she had “taken the difficult decision that it will no longer be my role to lead you in the collective vision that we all have: to pursue the truth with no agenda.”

BBC director general Tim Davie and News boss Deborah Turness resign over edited Trump documentary

by jummy84
written by jummy84

BBC director general Tim Davie and BBC News boss Deborah Turness have resigned from the corporation.

It comes following concerns about impartiality, including how a speech by US President Donald Trump was edited in an episode of Panorama.

The concerns were over clips spliced together from sections of Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021 to make it appear he told supporters he was going to walk to the US Capitol with them to “fight like hell” in the documentary Trump: A Second Chance?, which was broadcast by the BBC the week before last year’s US election.

Announcing his resignation Davie said: “In these increasingly polarised times, the BBC is of unique value and speaks to the very best of us. It helps make the UK a special place; overwhelmingly kind, tolerant and curious.

“Like all public organisations, the BBC is not perfect, and we must always be open, transparent and accountable.

“While not being the only reason, the current debate around BBC News has understandably contributed to my decision. Overall, the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as Director-General I have to take ultimate responsibility.”

He said his departure will not be immediate and that he is “working through” timings to ensure for an “orderly transition” over the coming months.

Mr Davie, who had a career in marketing and finance before joining the BBC’s marketing team in 2005, was previously acting director-general from November 2012 until April 2013.

In her letter of resignation, Turness said the “ongoing controversy” around the edition of Panorama “has reached a stage where it is causing damage to the BBC – an institution that I love”.

She added: “As the CEO of BBC News and Current Affairs, the buck stops with me – and I took the decision to offer my resignation to the Director-General last night.

“In public life leaders need to be fully accountable, and that is why I am stepping down. While mistakes have been made, I want to be absolutely clear recent allegations that BBC News is institutionally biased are wrong.”

BBC Chair, Samir Shah said it was “a sad day for the BBC” and praised Davie for being an “outstanding Director-General for the last five years”.

Shah added: “He has had the full support of me and the Board throughout. However, I understand the continued pressure on him, personally and professionally, which has led him to take this decision today. The whole Board respects the decision and the reasons for it.

“Tim has given 20 years of his life to the BBC. He is a devoted and inspirational leader and an absolute believer in the BBC and public service broadcasting. He has achieved a great deal. Foremost, under his tenure, the transformation of the BBC to meet the challenges in a world of unprecedented change and competition is well underway.

“Personally, I will miss his stamina, good humour and resilience and I will miss working with him. I wish him and his family the very best for the future.”

He also said Turness had “acted with integrity in challenging circumstances and leaves a strong legacy from which to build for the many millions around the world who rely on and trust the voice of BBC News every day”.

During his time in charge of the BBC, Davie dealt with a number of high-profile controversies including a row over former Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker’s sharing of his political views, Huw Edwards being convicted of making indecent images of children, and the BBC’s broadcasting of Bob Vylan‘s controversial Glastonbury performance.

At this year’s event, the punk duo delivered a controversial performance on the West Holts Stage, using their platform to voice their support for the people of Palestine, call out the Israeli military and criticise the BBC, as well as the UK and US governments.

In the most provocative moment of the set, Vylan told the huge crowd, “have you heard this one?”, before leading a chant of “death, death to the IDF”. It led to a criminal investigation from Avon and Somerset Police, as well as the cancellation of multiple international shows and the revocation of their US visas.

Having recently given his first in-depth interview on the subject on The Louis Theroux Podcast, in which he said he was “not regretful” of his remarks, frontman Vylan hit back at British Airways after it pulled its Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship.

This is a developing news story.

BBC Plans Apology Over "Dishonest" Trump Edit

BBC Plans Apology Over “Dishonest” Trump Edit

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The BBC is planning to apologize after being accused of selectively editing Donald Trump‘s January 6 speech to make it appear as if the president was encouraging the 2021 Capitol riot.

On Monday, chair Samir Shah will write to UK Parliament’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee to admit that a 2024 BBC Panorama film should not have altered Trump’s speech in the way it did. The change was attacked as “dishonest” by the White House.

Shah is expected to tell lawmakers that the BBC has reviewed the Trump edit again in light of audience complaints in recent days, Deadline understands. Shah is expected to acknowledge that Panorama could have been clearer that Trump’s speech was changed, but he will say there was no intention to mislead viewers.

The Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph first reported on Shah’s planned apology, which comes after a week of headlines about the Trump edit and the BBC’s reporting on Gaza and transgender rights.

The concerns originated in an excoriating leaked memo attacking BBC News output. Obtained by The Daily Telegraph, the document was penned by Michael Prescott, who was an external adviser to the BBC board’s Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee until June.

Lisa Nandy, the UK culture secretary, became the latest voice of disapproval. Appearing on BBC show Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Nandy said the edit was “incredibly serious.”

Nandy said she had held “too many” conversations with BBC leaders over the past year regarding editorial standards. The Labour minister said she was confident Shah and BBC director general Tim Davie were gripping the Trump matter, but she questioned why issues keep occurring.

“What tends to happen at the BBC is that decisions about editorial standards, editorial guidelines, the sort of language that is used in reporting, is entirely inconsistent,” she said. “It doesn’t always meet the highest standards. It’s not always well thought through, and often it’s left to individual journalists or news readers to make decisions.”

The Trump edit, which was made in October Films-produced Trump: A Second Chance?, prompted fury in the White House, though the president himself has yet to publicly remark on the issue.

Karoline Leavitt

Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary, told the Telegraph newspaper: “This purposefully dishonest, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100% fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom.”

Shah’s apology will be the first time a senior BBC figure speaks out on the issue, though Deadline revealed that BBC News CEO Deborah Turness emailed staff admitting it had been a “difficult” week.

The incident is awkward for Shah, Davie, and Turness because they sit on the Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee, where Prescott originally raised his concerns months ago. They did not consider the matter serious enough to correct the Panorama documentary, meaning three of the corporation’s most senior figures are complicit in the inaction.

In the Panorama documentary, Trump appears to say: “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be there with you and we fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore.”

He actually said: “We’re gonna walk down, and I’ll be there with you, we’re gonna walk down, we’re gonna walk down any one you want but I think right here, we’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and we’re gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen.”

Some 54 minutes later, when Trump was talking about the U.S. election being “corrupt,” he said: “Something’s wrong here, something’s really wrong, can’t have happened, and we fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore.”

Nick Robinson, the seasoned presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Today show, referenced the story live on-air on Saturday, telling listeners: “It’s clear that there is a genuine concern about editorial standards and mistakes. There is also a political campaign by people who want to destroy the organisation … Both things are happening at the same time.”

House of the Dragon favourite stars in glamorous first look at all-new BBC drama from acclaimed writer

by jummy84
written by jummy84

After the success of BBC’s Mood, Nicôle Lecky is back for yet another drama and this time round, Wild Cherry looks to be just as dramatic and twisted as Lecky’s first series.

Not only has Lecky created and written the series, she’s also starring in the show as Gigi, a fellow resident of the affluent neighbourhood of Richford Lake that is drawn into the drama encircling the main mother-daughter duos at the heart of this tale.

The series follows friends Juliet (Eve Best) and Lorna (Carmen Ejogo), two successful working mothers, who are shocked when their daughters get embroiled in a school wide scandal.

Well now, we have a juicy first look at Wild Cherry, thanks to a brand new official trailer that has just landed – and boy, does it look like a series that is prime for a binge-watch.

Alongside the trailer, the official release date for the series has also now been confirmed, and will land on BBC One and iPlayer on Sunday 15th November.

Eve Best as Juliet, Amelia May as Allegra, Carmen Ejogo as Lorna and Imogen Faires as Grace in Wild Cherry. Lesley Edith

“In this town, they had wonderful lives,” we hear Lecky’s Gigi narrate at the start of the trailer. “It was a world of privilege for all of them but in Richford Lake, everyone was hiding something.”

We see flashes of the glamorous lives in question, from Juliet in the middle of a professional photoshoot to Grace (Imogen Faires) and Allegra (Amelia May) enjoying time at their private school together and then, going to parties in lavish homes.

But we then see Allegra admit to a boy that there’s a secret messaging app going round their school and we soon see things get a whole lot darker. It turns out that students have to pay to be featured on there, posting provocative pictures in exchange for likes and comments, it seems.

It’s clear there’s drama brewing in both camps of students and their parents as we see the adults sit down for a dinner party, which looks to be rather tense. But then things take a turn for the worse when we see that one of Grace and Allegra’s friends has gone missing, with the police on the search for the truth.

Read more:

As we see both Grace and Allegra’s mugshots on a board in a police station, could they have something to do with it? But that simmering tension boils over into Juliet and Lorna’s own dynamic, with Lorna telling Juliet to not tell her how to parent her own daughter.

“Nobody knew what they were capable of – until it was too late,” we then hear as the scene shows Juliet, Allegra, Lorna and Grace all staring seriously at their reflections in a mirror. Could it be in the aftermath of something terrible? We’ll just have to wait and see.

The official synopsis for Wild Cherry reads: “In Richford Lake things appear perfect for super-mum Juliet (Eve Best) and business mogul Lorna (Carmen Ejogo), but when their teens Grace (Imogen Faires) and Allegra (Amelia May) are accused of a shocking scandal at their exclusive private school, toxic secrets and lies ripple throughout the community.

“A coming-of-age drama for both mothers and daughters as they navigate privilege, power and social media. “Like mother like daughter” rings loudly in a complex world, where danger and betrayal is never far from the surface – even in a perfect town.”
