First up, there’s The Drama, a black comedy starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya as a soon-to-be-married couple whose romantic bliss is derailed by a shocking confession. Then more white-knuckle stuff in Fuze—a bomb disposal meets heist thriller starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James and Sam Worthington. On a much more colourful note, we’ve got Super Mario Galaxy—but will this latest screen outing for the videogame franchise be a level up or game over? On the small screen, the spotlight turns to the BBC’s Twenty Twenty Six—a brand new sequel series that catches up with Hugh Bonneville’s Ian Fletcher in all his bureaucratic glory. This time he’s been appointed ‘Head of Integrity’ on the organizing committee for an international football tournament taking place in summer 2026, which definitely isn’t the FIFA World Cup. Simon sits down with the ever-charming Hugh to unpack the series—plus a word on his latest stage outing in Shadowlands, and little bit of Downton chat too.

  2. Introducing: Short History Of... Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    Season 8 Bonus

    Introducing: Short History Of... Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    While you wait for Noiser’s next Sherlock Holmes instalment, The Sign of Four, we thought you might enjoy this taster episode from one of our sister podcasts. Short History Of... is a weekly podcast hosted by John Hopkins that transports you back in time to witness history’s most incredible moments and remarkable people. This episode is about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man behind Sherlock Holmes. As well as bringing one of literature’s most legendary fictional characters to life, he was also a doctor, war volunteer, campaigner for justice, politician, and believer in the spirit world. In his lifetime, he wrote ghost stories, political pamphlets, historical novels, and fantastical adventures. But how did a young medical student from Edinburgh end up transforming crime fiction forever? What drove him to kill off - and then resurrect - the character who made his name? And why did a man of science and reason spend so many years pursuing the supernatural?
