Vigil Episode 1: The 8 Burning Questions We Need Answers To

Posted on by
Reply

If you didn’t already know that new BBC drama Vigil was made by the same people as Line Of Duty, you probably could have worked it out eight minutes into the first episode on Sunday night. 

In the same way Jed Mercurio’s hit cop show has become famed for, a major Vigil character was unexpectedly killed off early on – and it was a face that Line Of Duty fans will have found very familiar, too. 

Despite being a much-publicised casting, Martin Compston – better known as DS Steve Arnott – was killed off within the first 10 minutes, as his character Chief Petty Officer Craig Burke was found dead under suspicious circumstances aboard the HMS Vigil.

Enter Suranne Jones’ DCI Amy Silva, who was sent to investigate his death while staying aboard the submarine.

It quickly became apparent that there’s a lot to unpack following Burke’s death – not least his connections to a peace group campaigning against trident missiles – leaving us with many questions to be answered as the investigation began…

Why was Burke’s body not taken off the submarine?

Silva was told it was “too late” for Burke’s body to be taken off the boat as the hatch closed, despite it previously being agreed that it would be taken to be examined. 

This now means a full post mortem cannot be carried out, and the fact there has been a clear operation to keep his body on board suggests that more than one person could be involved in his death. 

Was Jade really Burke’s girlfriend?

BBC/World Productions

Following her arrest for attempting to break into Burke’s room in the accommodation block, she claimed that she’d obtained his keys as she was his girlfriend.

However, it felt rather convenient when she said no-one else knew about their relationship as they “wouldn’t have been happy”. She also didn’t seem particularly emotionally distraught that her supposed “boyfriend” had just died. 

Could it be that she’d just met Burke through her campaigning as part of the Dunloch Peace Corp, and had been drilling for the information he clearly had?

What happened to Silva’s family?

Mark Mainz/BBC/World Productions

After experiencing claustrophobia in her bunk, a flashback appeared to suggest Silva’s partner Ian and their daughter were in a car accident that saw them plunged into water. Did they lose their lives? And does this suggest Silva isn’t perhaps the best person to be on board a literal submarine right now?

Why did Silva give up medical school? 

She didn’t answer when Dr Doherty asked. Is this to do with the past trauma in her family?

Why did Hadlow go to see Burke before he died?

BBC/World Productions

Hadlow was one of the last people to see Burke alive and was also the person who found him dead in his bunk. However, questions were raised about exactly why Hadlow had gone to disturb Burke in the first place. 

Were they in on some sort of conspiracy together? Or perhaps he was going to confront him about what Burke been up to in the bomb shop?

Which submarine pulled the Mairi Finnea down? And why?

It was claimed that the Mairi Finnea trawler was pulled down by an enemy submarine, something Vigil captain Paterson Joseph is keen to keep secret, as it would expose the fact they have “always been at war”.

Was Burke killed for risking exposing the truth? After all, we now know that he was about to expose corruption within the British Navy. Speaking of which…

What exactly was Burke’s plan?

Mark Mainz/BBC/World Productions

The USB that DS Longacre found in Burke’s room had a pre-recorded video message from Burke on it, which he made in case of his death, hinting he anticipated the possibility of being killed for exposing the corruption and fear within the Vigil crew. 

In it, he speaks of “20 different ways to kill Vigil crew single handed” – was he actually going to kill someone before he met his own end?

If the Vigil’s mission is to “stay hidden”, how come Silva was allowed on board?

BBC/World Productions

The boat must have taken a serious security risk to come up to the surface to allow Silva aboard, so does that suggest Captain Joseph was lying about the crew’s mission to “stay hidden”?

Who killed Burke?

At this point in time, there looks to be a number of possible suspects in Burke’s murder – not least Hadlow, Glover, Prentice and even Captain Joesph. 

But with this being a six-part series, something tells us we’re not about to get a definitive answer any time soon…

Vigil continues on Monday at 9pm on BBC One.

Millie Court and Liam Reardon have been crowned the winners of this year’s Love Island. 

The couple beat Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran in the final two to win the £50,000 prize money.

Teddy Soares and Faye Winter also came third, while Kaz Kamwi and Tyler Cruickshank placed fourth during Monday’s live final of the ITV2 reality show.

Millie Court and Liam Reardon have won this year’s Love Island

After the result of the public vote was announced, Millie and Liam had to decide whether to stick or split the cash prize.

Millie received the envelope with the money but decided to split it with Liam. meaning they took home £25,000 each.

Speaking after their win, she said: “I cannot believe we have just been crowned the winners of Love Island. We have literally had the summer of our lives and we are going to leave here and now explore our future together.”

During an interview with host Laura Whitmore, Liam also asked Millie to officially be his girlfriend. 

The couple had a rocky journey in the Love Island villa, with Millie previously calling things off with Liam when she discovered he had been unfaithful to her with Lillie Haynes during the Casa Amor twist. 

Meanwhile, during their final interviews, Toby joked that describing his relationship with Chloe as a “massive journey” was an “understatement” after the pair also broke up and then got back together during the series.

Last week, Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish, who had been coupled up since the first episode of the show, gave up a place in the final when they called time on their romance and left the villa.

This year’s contestants will next be seen during a special Love Island reunion, which airs on Sunday 5 September on ITV2.

Love Island: 16 Viral Moments From This Year’s Series That We’re Still Not Quite Over

Posted on by
Reply

It’s official, the summer of love is nearly over as the sun sets on Love Island 2021. 

After a somewhat slow start, this series finally lived up to its high expectations and provided us with some much-needed TV gold over the last few weeks. 

From the iconic Casa Amor recoupling, to couples being on-and-off (and on again – we’re looking at you, Chloe and Toby), series seven has brought drama, an abundance of love and one very questionable talent show.

Ahead of Monday night’s grand finale – where one couple will walk away with the £50,000 prize fund – here’s a roundup of our favourite viral moments that we’re still *puts on Lucinda’s voice* reallllllyyyy obsessed with…

1. Hugo’s recoupling speech

One of the most fiery fire pit moments this year was undoubtedly Hugo’s speech after Toby coupled up with Abi instead of Chloe. It marked the turning point of the series, as we saw our first real glimpse of drama.

Throwing a number of shady comments at his fellow islander Toby, Hugo said of Chloe: “She doesn’t deserve to be treated how she has been this past 24 hours.”

His speech was obviously met with some iconic facial reactions from the Islanders, which were immediately turned into memes.

2. Mary and Millie’s talent show efforts 

Picture this – it’s Christmas Day and your cousins are performing their talent show to your family… oh wait, you don’t have to imagine after this particular Love Island moment. 

From a rendition of Grease’s You’re The One That I Want, to two semi-pro footballers showing their (lack of) tricks, the Love Island 2021 Talent Show scene was jam-packed with debatable ‘skills’. 

However, the real stand-out acts for us were Millie and her keyboard take on Ed Sheeran’s Perfect, and Mary’s tap dancing, both of which left the fellow Islanders – and indeed viewers – speechless. 

3. Faye trying her hardest to be unbothered at AJ’s arrival

Despite some of Faye’s more fiery moments causing controversy, her unbothered energy when new bombshell AJ entered the villa was a real mood. 

All the other girls were peeking over the terrace to get a first look, but Faye remained the queen of reactions as she filed her nails and emphasised how unbothered she was: “I’m not bothered at all, AT ALL.”

We totally believed her…

4. Rachel slides head-first into a fence

A rare moment of silence fell in the Line of Booty challenge as Rachel was whisked off her feet, but sadly not by Brad.

Coming down the slide at speed, we saw Rachel going head first into the fence and later recalling the event as “tragic”.

Luckily, she was OK, but we can still feel the pain. 

5. Toby’s unusual reaction to losing Sports Day

The internet was left confused when Toby’s immediate reaction to his team losing Sports Day was to start lifting weights. 

However, we weren’t the only ones left baffled as many of his fellow islanders were also unsure as to what was going on. 

6. Priya getting the ick from Brett over… Brie?!

Now we’ve heard of a lot of reasons for getting ‘the ick’ but being put off by thinking your partner’s favourite cheese was Brie? Well that is unheard of. 

Cheese-lover Priya struggled to picture a future with Brett as she thought his choice of favourite cheese was quite boring. Maybe it’s a Gouda idea to start choosing our partner’s based on their favourite cheese from now on?

FYI, Brett later confirmed that he never said that and in fact he isn’t really a fan of cheese at all.

7. Hugo’s job being “done” 

Many of us would probably love to hear some words of encouragement or affection after our first kiss with a new partner. However, Hugo took a slightly different approach after locking lips with Amy in Casa Amor… and we wouldn’t recommend it. 

The PE teacher thought the statement “Job done” was the perfect way to win someone over. Spoiler: it didn’t turn out that way. 

8. Lillie gets her moment

The nation’s jaws collectively dropped when Lillie entered the main villa to deliver some home truths about what Liam had been up to in Casa Amor. 

Never before has an Islander made such an impact in such a short space of time. A Love Island legend. 

9. The record-breaking amount of times Jake called Liberty his GIRLfriend

Some would say that Jake had an obsession with having a girlfriend after the amount of times he’s mentioned the G-word. 

After a rocky few weeks of their relationship, it seemed as though Jake’s preferred method of reassurance was repeatedly stating Liberty was his “GIRLfriend”. 

Sadly, it wasn’t to be for the couple, who ended up leaving the villa after splitting days before the final. 

10. This culinary monstrosity

You know what they say, food is the way to the heart. However, we’re not sure that Aaron’s choice of a Halloween DIY-looking carrots in hummus is quite what is meant by that. 

The carrots in question were unpeeled and wedged vertically into a bowl of the dip, leaving them looking like inedible witches fingers. 

We haven’t seen a Love Island dish look so unappealing since Tommy served up that ketchup and mayo sandwich for Maura.  

11. Speaking of culinary fails…

Rachel made us question our French GCSE after she described Coq au Vin as ‘duck with wine’ to Brad.

The mistake didn’t seem to go unnoticed with viewers, as social media flooded with the correct description for the dish, which is actually chicken braised in wine. 

We have to give Rachel a A+ for confidence though.  

12. Shannon’s brutal dumping 

This year’s contestants were prepped for the summer of a lifetime, but for OG Islander Shannon this was not the case – in fact she was packing her case after just one day in the villa.

After the mandatory two-week quarantine before entering the villa, we can only imagine how it felt being dumped after day one.

13. Georgia. That’s it. 

After Hugo was stuck on ‘Friend Island’ for the majority of his time in the villa, viewers were glad to finally see the arrival of Georgia, who had her sights firmly set on Hugo and Hugo only. 

Despite being the third girl to make Hugo’s rejection list, Georgia’s short stint in the villa consisted of elocution lessons with Lucinda, bringing the sequins and the inspirational message “Never meet your heroes” – and to be honest, we’re not mad about it. 

14. Millie’s comedy timing

You can always count on Millie to keep it 100% real, and let’s be honest her comedic inputs have been up there with the best of them during her time in the villa – case in point, this moment from Unseen Bits. 

Is it a bug? No, Millie simply humbled her Chloe by calling her a mug for taking Toby back after their on-and-off romance. We have to say the timing was 10/10.

15. Hair horror

The Undercover Lover challenge wasn’t only very messy but it also left the girls in need of a trip to the hairdressers, as the vibrant slime and accidentally dyed their hair all the colours of the rainbow. 

16. Chloe’s Beach Hut entries

Chloe has brought many iconic one-liners to the table this series, often from her Beach Hut entries.

ITV

She has offered hilarious commentary on the day-to-day twists and turns in the villa, and who could forget her “very muggy” speech that came after Toby’s head started to turn?

While she proved to be a slightly Marmite character at the beginning of the series, many of us can now agree that Chloe has carried the humour of the show and we love to see it. 

Love Island continues on Sunday and Monday at 9pm on ITV2.

Rachel Riley had the perfect response after serving up a rather smelly solution to a puzzle on the latest edition of Countdown. 

The presenter couldn’t hide her smirk as “anally” was offered as a solution to a puzzle on the Channel 4 numbers and letters quiz show on Friday. 

But to top if off, the remaining letters of the anagram had also left “poo” up on the board.

Rachel Riley couldn’t hide her smirk on the latest edition of Countdown

When one fan tweeted her commenting that it was quite a way to mark her 3000th show, Rachel responded: “Is there any other way?!”

Rachel has now co-hosted 3000 episodes of Countdown since taking over from previous maths whizz Carol Vorderman in 2008. 

To celebrate the occasion, she was visited by her partner, former Strictly Come Dancing professional Pasha Kovalev, and their daughter Maven in the studio and was also presented with flowers by the production team. 

Rachel tweeted: “Loved my surprise visitors for my 3000th show today! One of them was particularly disappointed when it was time to go.”

She added: “I’ll always be the new girl but who can believe it’s been 3000 shows already!Thanks Countdown family.”

Earlier this week, Countdown came under fire when a competitor’s answer of a seven-letter gay slur was left in the programme. 

Channel 4 later apologised admitting they had got it wrong.

“The airing of the word was an error of judgement,” the broadcaster said.

“It does not align with our values and we apologise for any offence caused.”

 Countdown airs weekdays at 2.15pm on Channel 4.

The Crown has offered fans their first look at Imelda Staunton as the Queen in the upcoming fifth series. 

The actor is taking over the royal role from Olivia Colman in the hit Netflix drama, which is set to return in 2022. 

The Crown’s official Twitter account shared the image on Friday afternoon, writing: “An early glimpse of our new Queen Elizabeth II, Imelda Staunton.”

Imelda is leading a brand new cast for in the new series, which sees the action jump ahead in time. 

Speaking about taking over the role in an interview in a Woman’s Hour earlier this year, Imelda explained: “I think my sort of extra challenge, as if I needed it, is that I’m now doing the Queen that we’re a little more familiar with.

“With Claire Foy, [her version of Queen Elizabeth II] was almost history and now I’m playing one that people could say ‘she doesn’t do that,’ ‘she’s not like that’. And that’s my personal bête noire for me to deal with.”

Jodie Whittaker has finally confirmed speculation she is leaving her role as the Time Lord in Doctor Who. 

The actor, who has played the 13th incarnation of The Doctor since 2017, will exit the hit BBC sci-fi series alongside showrunner Chris Chibnall. 

Questions about her future with the show began earlier this year, with Jodie now saying in a statement that she had Chris had decided to leave together.

Jodie Whittaker is leaving Doctor Who

She said: “In 2017 I opened my glorious gift box of size 13 shoes. I could not have guessed the brilliant adventures, worlds and wonders I was to see in them. My heart is so full of love for this show, for the team who make it, for the fans who watch it and for what it has brought to my life. And I cannot thank Chris enough for entrusting me with his incredible stories.

“We knew that we wanted to ride this wave side by side, and pass on the baton together. So here we are, weeks away from wrapping on the best job I have ever had. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express what this role has given me. I will carry the Doctor and the lessons I’ve learnt forever.”

Jodie, who made history when she was cast as the first female actor to play The Doctor, added: “I know change can be scary and none of us know what’s out there. That’s why we keep looking. Travel Hopefully. The Universe will surprise you. Constantly.”

Jodie and Chris will leave Doctor Who in what the BBC described as an “epic blockbuster special” to air in autumn 2022, to tie in with the broadcaster’s centenary celebrations.

Jodie became the first female Doctor in 2017

Chris added: “Jodie and I made a “three series and out” pact with each other at the start of this once-in-a-lifetime blast. So now our shift is done, and we’re handing back the Tardis keys.

“Jodie’s magnificent, iconic Doctor has exceeded all our high expectations. She’s been the gold standard leading actor, shouldering the responsibility of being the first female Doctor with style, strength, warmth, generosity and humour. She captured the public imagination and continues to inspire adoration around the world, as well as from everyone on the production.   I can’t imagine working with a more inspiring Doctor – so I’m not going to!

Jodie has already filmed the thirteenth series of Doctor Who, consisting of six episodes which will air later this year and also see John Bishop make his debut will as the Doctor’s new companion, Dan Lewis. 

The series will then be followed by three specials – the first of which will transmit on New Year’s Day 2022, with another later in spring and the final one will see the Thirteenth Doctor will regenerate in the autumn.

The BBC has said Jodie’s replacement will be announced in due course.

Sex/Life’s Sarah Shahi Weighs In On Divisive Ending To Netflix’s Raunchiest Show

Warning! This article contains major Sex/Life spoilers.

Sex/Life star Sarah Shahi has weighed in on the show’s divisive finale, admitting she didn’t see the ending coming. 

The eighth episode of the saucy Netflix series sees Billie embark on an affair with her ex Brad after months of fantasising about the wild sex life they used to have. 

Sarah, who plays Billie, said she was surprised to see her character betray her husband Cooper – something that has divided viewers. 

Netflix

Speaking to E! News, she said: “My jaw was to the ground pretty much at the end of every episode. But, I definitely didn’t expect for it to go there because, you know, you keep hearing Billie over and over again, and she says, ‘I love my husband.’”

Responding to some accusations that Billie’s decision is selfish, Sarah continued: “She’s not ignoring her children, she’s not ignoring the needs of her husband. There is just a part of her that’s missing, and she’s really struggling trying to feel it again.”

Admitting she loved the finale, Sarah added: “For me, what it comes down to is having the guts to say I want more and going after that. And that doesn’t make you a bad parent to want that. You can still be a wife and a mom and be a sexual goddess at the same time.”

Netflix

The love triangle between Brad, Billie and Cooper is central to Sex/Life

While a second series has not yet been confirmed, Sarah – who is in a real-life relationship with Adam Demos, who plays her on-screen lover Brad – said that if Sex/Life does return, fans should expect “the fantasy will continue in some way or another, because it sure is fun to watch”.

The raunchy US dramedy has risen to the top of Netflix’s most-watched chart since its release last month, and has taken the internet by storm – part in thanks to a gasp-inducing full-frontal scene in the third episode. 

Sex/Life is available to stream on Netflix now.

Eamonn Holmes Presses Sex/Life Author For The Truth About *That* Shower Scene

Anyone who has seen Sex/Life seems to have one big question after watching it, and it seems Eamonn Holmes is no different. 

The This Morning host pressed the author behind the hit Netflix series for the truth about *that* moment from episode three, as BB Easton appeared on the ITV daytime show on Wednesday. 

Sex/Life the tells the story of a married woman called Billie who fantasises about the wild sex life she used to have with her ex-boyfriend Brad, and is based on BB’s self-published book 44 Chapters About 4 Men inspired by her own life experiences.

The third episode features a gasp-inducing full-frontal scene whereby Billie’s husband Cooper cops an eyeful of his love rival’s (rather large) appendage in the gym showers.  

Addressing the moment during the interview, Eamonn was keen to know if it really belonged to actor Adam Demos.

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes interviewed BB Easton on This Morning

He began: “There’s a lot of the country who have seen an extract from the Netflix series because we have a terrestrial show called Gogglebox here and it reviews programmes and it showed a clip of a man in a shower and honestly it frightened everybody who looked at it, really.

“And I looked at this and I thought ’that is an actor who wasn’t hired for his acting ability and obviously for the size of his appendage, really, which was scary.”

Eamonn’s wife and co-host Ruth Langsford agreed, admitting it was “quite large”. 

“Did he exist?” Eamonn asked, before BB asked him to clarify whether he was asking if the character was one of her exes or if the actor “really possessed that”. 

Eamonn replied: “It looked to me as if he really possessed it.”

BB then said: “I will neither confirm nor deny what you saw in episode three because, for selfish reasons, I am enjoying the speculation so much – the TikTok viral videos, Gogglebox – so I’m going to keep this going for myself because it’s been a lot of fun to watch everybody.”

“Good for you,” Ruth said.

That Sex/Life shower scene has got the whole internet talking

Sex/Life showrunner Stacy Rukeyser recently weighed in on speculation that Adam used a body double or a prosthetic for the scene that has got the whole internet talking. 

She told Collider: “That’s not a body double. I mean, people usually ask is it real or is it a prosthetic?

“And I can tell you what Adam Demos says about it, which is, a gentleman never tells. So, we are leaving that up to the viewer’s imagination.”

Adam himself told Entertainment Weekly of the scene: “I was okay with it because you read the script and know what you’re getting yourself into from the start, so I don’t think you would sign on to a show after reading the scripts and then say no last minute. 

“That doesn’t mean you can’t have discussions about comfort level, which they allowed us to have – and with the intimacy coordinator, so it felt a lot safer.”

Sex/Life is available to stream on Netflix now. This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.

Bruno Tonioli ‘Sad And Frustrated’ At Strictly Come Dancing Exit As He Gives Verdict On Replacement Anton Du Beke

Bruno Tonioli has said he is “sad and frustrated” not to be returning to Strictly Come Dancing this year. 

The long-standing judge is unable to be part of the upcoming series due to restrictions preventing him from travelling to and from the US, where he judges Dancing With The Stars. 

Bruno also admitted he wasn’t surprised to hear Anton Du Beke would be stepping in to replace him on the panel of the BBC ballroom show.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: “I am so sad and frustrated, but there is nothing anyone can do.

“Anton was the obvious choice to replace me.

“I was never asked my opinion, but I wasn’t surprised. He was desperate to get that judging role, so I’m sure he is delighted.”

Joking that Anton “needs the money”, Bruno also said that he will not be watching him on the panel as it “would not be fair”. 

He said: “It’d be weird, like watching an ex with someone new — you just get on with it honey.

“It’ll do me no good as people will ask me what I think and I don’t want to stick my nose in when I’m not part of it. I think it’s very naff.”

Bruno also said he could still return to Strictly next year, should he be invited back.

“It’s totally up to them. If there’s no Covid and they want me, I’ll be back,” he said. “But they may say, ‘Anton was great, we don’t need you’.

“I’ll do something else. It’s like James Bond actors, I’ve done my stint. You cannot be desperate, if you start down that path you’ll go insane. I won’t be second best.”

Anton has made no secret of his hopes to join the judging panel in the past, having previously auditioned for the role of head judge prior to Shirley Ballas’ appointment.

Last year, he sat at the panel for the first time for two weeks, while Motsi Mabuse was unable to fulfil her usual judging role.

The Celebrity Goggleboxers’ Reactions To That Sex/Life Shower Scene Were Absolutely Priceless

It’s the show with the shower scene that’s got the whole internet flustered, so it was only right that the Celebrity Gogglebox gang had to give their verdict on Sex/Life on Friday. 

And it’s fair to say their reactions were priceless. 

For those who haven’t seen it, the Netflix series the tells the story of a married woman called Billie who fantasises about the wild sex life she used to have with her ex-boyfriend Brad. 

The third episode features a gasp-inducing full-frontal scene whereby Billie’s husband Cooper cops an eyeful of his love rival’s (rather large) appendage in the gym showers.

That Sex/Life shower scene saw character Brad go full frontal, and it was quite the sight

As the Goggleboxers sat down to watch it, it was clear to see they were even more shocked than Cooper…

There were plenty of gasps and screams from the likes of Denise Van Outen, Eddie Boxshall, Martine McCutcheon, Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher. 

“Jesus Christ! It’s like a salami,” Nick Grimshaw commented. 

“Is that real?!” Martin Kemp questioned (although Sex/Life’s showrunner has previously tried to answer this question).

Jonathan Ross joked: “He needs to accept the fact he can’t compete with Brad. You can’t compete with that. Go home, pack your shirts, fuck off… Look, it’s got it’s own postcode!”

“It can’t be real,” Micah insisted. “That’s an add on, that.”

“Can you get add ons?” Jamie asked, prompting much laughter. 

Channel 4

The Celebrity Goggleboxers watched *that* Sex/Life scene

Sadly, one pair’s reactions who we didn’t get to see was Maureen Lipman and Gyles Brandreth’s.  

Maureen previously revealed she’d walked out of filming while having to watch another show with full-frontal nudity for Gogglebox. 

She told Radio Times of how she’d left the room when Naked Attraction came on because “life is too short to watch a series of hopeless men dangle their bits and pieces in my direction”. 

She said: “I’d seen Gogglebox and I thought: ’Oh, [ours] is the grown-up version, is it? I’m going to go on, and make a lot of comments now about the oeuvre and ‘I did like his first trilogy’…. But it’s your reaction to 12 dangling willies they want.

“They’re searching for ways to make me go: ‘Urgh!’ So I thought: ‘Well, actually, no, life is too short to watch a series of hopeless men dangle their bits and pieces in my direction. So I’m going.’”

Celebrity Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4. Sex/Life is streaming on Netflix now.
