The eleventh season of The X-Files debuted in the US last night, uniting David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson for the new run of the show. But as has been widely reported, this is the moment where Anderson departs the series, having played Dana Scully since episode one of the programme Chris Carter, the creator of … >
She’s hinted at this before, but now Gillian Anderson has made it official: the upcoming run of The X-Files will be her last. She’s alongside David Duchovny in season 11 of the show, that’s starting this month (Five is screening it in the UK). And in an interview with TV Insider, she’s confirmed that she’s … >
Notwithstanding the fact that the BBC has pulled its Agatha Christie adaptation it had planned this Christmas due to accusations made against actor Ed Westwick, Christie’s books are nonetheless in vogue. The BBC has a multi-year deal to adapt more of her work, Kenneth Branagh has hit big with his cinema take on Murder On … >
Doctor Who writer Neil Gaiman has revealed who he thinks should play the next Doctor. Peter Capaldi announced last month that he will be departing the show in this year’s Christmas special. The Thirteenth Doctor will make their debut in the festive episode, ahead of Chris Chibnall’s first season as new showrunner in autumn 2018. Gaiman … >
Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson return to BBC Two as Stella Gibson continues her hunt for the serial murderer Paul Spector in The Fall.

Following massive viewing figures for its return earlier his year – far beyond what Fox were likely hoping for – it’s almost certain that The X-Files will be back for an eleventh season. There’s certainly plenty of life left in these characters and the mythology they dwell within. The revival had a lot of problems, but the willingness of … >
I’m shocked. And angry. And trying to find a way to compute exactly what it is that I just watched and how it fits into my feelings about this year’s X-Files mini-series as a whole. Writer/creator Chris Carter has now had a third opportunity to provide some closure to The X-Files, after the original series … >
So, we arrive at the final standalone episode of the X-Files revival before we hit next week’s big finale, and what we get is so utterly bizarre that no other show could have pulled this off. We’re not entirely sure that The X-Files has managed to pull it off either. After the earlier episode with … >
“Mulder, back in the day, I used to do stairs and in three-inch heels.” “‘Back in the day’. Scully, ‘back in the day’ is now.” Of the four episodes we’ve seen so far, as an actual X File, this one might be the best yet. While the central mystery is poorly explained and Mulder and … >
“We’ve been given another case, Mulder. It has a monster in it.” It’s an evocative title, telling you all you need to know and probably putting the viewer in a very specific mind-set before the episode has even started. So we know we’re getting a monster and given that this is a script from Darin … >
