Every weekday, TMINE brings you the latest TV news from around the world
French TV
- Trailer for France 2’s La Garçonne (it’s a bit hard to translate this one. It can mean ‘boyish’, but it’s really the feminised form of ‘the boy’ and since it’s about a woman who pretends to be a man to escape from the police in the 1920s, you get the idea of what they’re going for here), with Laura Smet, Grégory Fitoussi, Tom Hygreck et al
UK TV
- Sky Witness acquires: Fox (US)’s 9-1-1: Lone Star and CBS (US)’s FBI: Most Wanted

View all postsI’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
