Charity Shop Sue

TV Times

| I've celebrated Pride month by revisiting (in nearly one sitting) Charity Shop Sue, the web series.

"In 2014, three local filmmakers in Nottingham were invited to document the life of charity shop manager Sue Tuke. In an attempt to raise the shop's profile, Sue planned to get the business 'on the net' to prevent the store from closure and become an online super star in the making. Not all went to plan as Sue’s ambitious ideas were met with obstacles from both inside and outside the shop resulting in a series of catastrophes. Sue therefore decided to not participate further in filming and the footage has not been seen… until now."

'Scuse me, laydeh! If you haven't already discovered the pleasures of Sue Tuke (Manager), now's your chance, alright, darlin'?

The Comeback

TV Times

| The third and final season of Lisa Kudrow's masterpiece, The Comeback, returns today (22nd March) on HBO Max.

Following its debut in 2005, the show returned for a follow-up in 2014. But for the third instalment, it really is the end. “We need to say ‘third and final,’” Kudrow told The Hollywood Reporter. “I don’t know if I’ll want to do it again in 10 years, so let’s be done, that way no one is asking what’s next or whether we will even want to do more." She added, "The most respectful thing we can do for the audience and for the character is make it a three-part story. It’s a trilogy, and this is the end.”

Timothy Patrick Murphy

TV Times

| He was the golden boy of Dallas who vanished into silence. The Lost Generation uncovers the tragic true story of Timothy Patrick Murphy, the Midnight Express connection, and the Hollywood secret that cost him his life.

Jonathan Brandis

TV Times

|  In the 1990s, Jonathan Brandis was the definition of a teen idol. With his piercing blue eyes and golden hair, he graced the covers of every magazine, starred in hits like Stephen King’s IT and seaQuest DSV, and received thousands of love letters a week. To the world, he had it all. But behind the dazzling smile was a young man trapped in a brutal industry that worships youth but discards adults.

This is the heartbreaking true story of a child star who followed all the rules, only to face a devastating silence when the cameras stopped rolling. From his meteoric rise to the crushing rejections that led to that cold November night in 2003, we explore the life, the legacy, and the tragic end of a Hollywood "Golden Boy."
