The rollicking origin story of the SAS in the WWII continues with the war in Europe. Updated 05/12/2024: The series 2 launch date confirmed. In amongst the festive blitz of programme information, it’s been announced that the mighty SAS Rogue Heroes will return to our screens on New Year’s Day 2025. The show, which switches … >
Steven Knight’s raucous tale of the SAS in World War II returns soon. The BBC have released a batch of images from series two of SAS Rogue Heroes. The new six-part run of the bombastic show, originally inspired by Ben Macintyre’s best-seller, returns us the action in the Spring of 1943. SAS Rogue Heroes first … >
Steven Knight’s rollicking tale of the SAS continues with new Rogue Heroes joining the story for series 2 SAS Rogue Heroes made a significant splash when it landed on BBC One last year. After drawing impressive audience figures, including over 9 million viewers for its first episode, the show was swiftly recommissioned for a second … >
A twist ending can pay off beautifully, but it’s always a gamble. As for Tatau’s conclusion… Well, that certainly got extra-fantastical, didn’t it? If Calcott’s is the only church on the island, I feel especially bad for the random parishioners that probably just want to show up in their nice hats, sing hymns, and then … >
As we find ourselves crawling towards Tatau’s conclusion, it has become increasingly unsettling viewing. The thing is, I’m not completely convinced I’m unsettled for the right or intended reasons. I’m finding myself increasingly uncomfortable with the way the female characters are placed in this show. Each one’s motivations are placed squarely in relation to a … >
Tatau is BBC Three’s new fantasy drama from the makers of Being Human. The eight-part series is written by Richard Zajdlic, who has previously written episodes of By Any Means, Strike Back, This Life and EastEnders. Tatau stars Joe Layton (New Worlds, Father Brown) and Theo Barklem-Biggs (The Inbetweeners Movie, Silk) as a pair of … >
Granted, in spite of my misgivings, at six episodes in, I admittedly do want to find out exactly what all the weirdness in Tatau has been leading to. I know I’ve said it before, but there’s something that just has the wrong ring about it with a story about a white English fellow who apparently … >
As BBC Three’s Tatau descends further and further into visions and spirits and very unpleasant people, I find myself admittedly curious as to what the actual heck is going on. Okay, so maybe Lara’s one of the few reasonably sane people in the show, at least inasmuch as she’s secretly working for the authorities while … >
If there’s one lesson to take away from this week’s episode of Tatau, it’s this: kids, don’t drink and ink. Just literally physically remove yourself from anywhere within walking distance of any strange tattoo parlours if you think you may be under the continuing influence of magical visions. I suppose the unhinged menace of Reverend … >
I suppose that if BBC Three’s Tatau is teaching us anything, it’s that even the most picturesque of locales can hide a fierce underbelly of dodgy activity and horrible people who really ought to just be content to get to live on a magnificent beach. Is anyone on this island not involved in some kind … >
