14:00 - BBC Confirms that Jeremy Clarkson has been dropped from Top Gear
Jeremy Clarkson's contract will not be renewed by the BBC, marking the end of his time as Top Gear presenter.
Tony Hall, the BBC Director-General, has today released the following statement regarding Jeremy Clarkson.
It is with great regret that I have told Jeremy Clarkson today that the BBC will not be renewing his contract. It is not a decision I have taken lightly. I have done so only after a very careful consideration of the facts and after personally meeting both Jeremy and Oisin Tymon.
I am grateful to Ken MacQuarrie for the thorough way he has conducted an investigation of the incident on 4th March. Given the obvious and very genuine public interest in this I am publishing the findings of his report. I take no pleasure in doing so. I am only making them public so people can better understand the background. I know how popular the programme is and I also know that this decision will divide opinion. The main facts are not disputed by those involved.
I want to make three points.
First – The BBC is a broad church. Our strength in many ways lies in that diversity. We need distinctive and different voices but they cannot come at any price. Common to all at the BBC have to be standards of decency and respect. I cannot condone what has happened on this occasion. A member of staff – who is a completely innocent party – took himself to Accident and Emergency after a physical altercation accompanied by sustained and prolonged verbal abuse of an extreme nature. For me a line has been crossed. There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public relations and commercial considerations.
Second – This has obviously been difficult for everyone involved but in particular for Oisin. I want to make clear that no blame attaches to him for this incident. He has behaved with huge integrity throughout. As a senior producer at the BBC he will continue to have an important role within the organisation in the future.
Third – Obviously none of us wanted to find ourselves in this position. This decision should in no way detract from the extraordinary contribution that Jeremy Clarkson has made to the BBC. I have always personally been a great fan of his work and Top Gear. Jeremy is a huge talent. He may be leaving the BBC but I am sure he will continue to entertain, challenge and amuse audiences for many years to come.
The BBC must now look to renew Top Gear for 2016. This will be a big challenge and there is no point in pretending otherwise. I have asked Kim Shillinglaw to look at how best we might take this forward over the coming months. I have also asked her to look at how we put out the last programmes in the current series

08:43 - NBC Monica Potter pilot rolled to next season
NBC and Warner Bros. TV have opted not to proceed with production on their multi-camera comedy pilot starring Parenthood alumna Monica Potter. The project, from creators Sherry Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Kreamer, has instead been pushed to next season.
The decision was made after the comedy had undergone a table read and a run-through as it was gearing up for taping. I hear the consensus between the studio and the network was that the project in its current form didn’t live up to its potential and that it would benefit from redevelopment. The pilot has been pushed to next season, though it is possible to be made off-cycle. As the comedy is reworked, it likely will undergo casting changes, though all that is TBD at the moment.

EMMY®-NOMINATED HBO COMEDY SERIES VEEP,
CREATED BY ARMANDO IANNUCCI AND STARRING EMMY®-WINNER
JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS, RETURNS FOR ITS FOURTH SEASON APRIL 12
Having become president after her predecessor stepped down, Selina Meyer is about to give her first major speech as commander-in-chief, though it remains to be seen whether her term will outlast that of America’s shortest-serving president, William Henry Harrison. With the stakes for Selina and her team higher than ever before, she must still run for election, and in the weeks to come they will grapple with how to make her seem “presidential.”
The Emmy®-nominated comedy series VEEP kicks off its ten-episode fourth season SUNDAY, APRIL 12 (10:30-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO. Created by Armando Iannucci (Oscar® nominee for co-writing “In the Loop”), the show stars Emmy® and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as President Selina Meyer, for whom even the most banal action can set off a ripple effect that has unexpected and far-reaching consequences.
The ensemble cast of the show also includes Emmy® winner Tony Hale (“Arrested Development”) as Gary, her devoted bodyman; Emmy® nominee Anna Chlumsky (“In the Loop”) as Amy, her campaign manager; Reid Scott (“The Intern”) as Dan, Selina’s senior advisor; Matt Walsh (“Into the Storm”) as Mike, her weathered press secretary; Timothy C. Simons (“The Interview”) as Jonah, vying to get back onto the White House staff; Sufe Bradshaw (“Overnight”) as Sue, President Meyer’s wry executive assistant; Kevin Dunn (HBO’s “True Detective”) as Ben, president’s chief of staff; Emmy® nominee Gary Cole (“The Good Wife”) as senior strategist Kent; and new series regular Sam Richardson (“The Office”) as Richard, a White House staffer.
Recurring guest stars on the new season include Patton Oswalt (“The Goldbergs”) as Teddy, the new vice president’s hands-on chief of staff; Sarah Sutherland (HBO’s “The Newsroom”) as Catherine, Selina’s daughter; and Hugh Laurie (“House M.D.”) as a powerful political figure.

14:33 - The Legend Of Zelda - TV Series - Not Based On Correct Information
In early February, the Wall Street Journal reported that Netflix was developing a live-action series based on Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda franchise. But Mr. Iwata says those rumors are inaccurate.
“As of now, I have nothing new to share with you in regard to the use of our IPs for any TV shows or films, but I can at least confirm that the article in question is not based on correct information,” says Iwata.

Looking forward to Veep (my favorite comedy) and Silicon Valley. It's been too long.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Hugh Laurie is the new Veep maybe? I didn't know Patton Oswalt was going to be in this season. The show keeps getting better!
ReplyDeleteUgh... I wish there were more than 3 photos for SCORPION.
ReplyDeleteThe 'American Crime' synopsis for 105 is very spoilery, but I guess I shouldn't complain when I'm on a site called spoilertv.com
ReplyDeleteHopefully CBS will some more nearer the time
ReplyDeleteYep, ABC seem to be releasing more spoilery press releases this season
ReplyDeleteFYI: I get one of the CSI cyber sneaks in the Terminator Genisys tag
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna make an educated guess and say that Monica Porter pilot will be revamped into a single camera comedy, with some recasting, and will probably try to be ready for either mid season or next summer.
Re Better Call Saul: I knew HHM would try to snake that case right out from under Jimmy's nose.
I'm so excited for VEEP to start back up again. Easily my favourite summer show (and yes, that includes GoT!)
He's either the new VEEP or my other theory is that he's the guy who wants to run against Selina and/or is the front runner in the party.
ReplyDeleteEither way he's gonna kill it!
And really watching JLD and Hugh go at it is gonna be epic!
Ooo yeah he could be another candidate that would be great.
ReplyDeletePatton just turns up everywhere and is always a delight.
