Quarantine viral videos: Splash and Lord of the Rings’s cast and creators reunite on Reunited Apart

2 June 2020 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Remember Josh Gad’s Reunited Apart? It’s an online series that showcases charities working to provide resources during the lockdown. Hosted by Josh Gad, each episode reunites the cast and crew of classic movies.

The first of these were The Goonies (1985) and Back to the Future (1985), but he’s only gone and done another two!

Episode three reunites Splash (1984)’s director Ron Howard, producer/creator Brian Grazer, and stars Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah, as well as a few special guests (clue: Schitt’s Creek‘s Eugene Levy is one of them).

Episode four then ups the ante by going after the cast of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. That features (for starters) Sean Astin, Elijah Wood, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Orlando Bloom and Ian McKellan, as well as writer/director Peter Jackson. Sean Bean, Viggo Mortensen, Liv Tyler, Karl Urban, John Rhys-Davies and Andy Serkis later on.

And Taika Waititi. And some others. It’s a double-length episode. Are you surprised?

Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK

I needn’t have worried about running out of TV last time on What time, TMINE? Turns out, there’s plenty of TV still out there.

Oops, I missed it

Les Petits Meurtres D’Agatha Christie (France: France 2; UK: Acorn TV)

“Agatha Christie’s masterful storytelling gets a dash of French flair in these sexy, witty mysteries”. Allegedly. You’re much better off reading Mr Thierry Attard’s reviews…

Episodes one to three are available now.

Balthazar

Balthazar (France: TF1; UK: Acorn TV)

Suave, smart, and somewhat strange, Raphaël Balthazar (Tomer Sisley) can make the dead speak like no one else. As a forensic pathologist in Paris, he works with no-nonsense chief inspector Hélène Bach (Hélène de Fougerolles) to solve the city’s most disturbing crimes. But there’s one case that continues to haunt him – the murder of his wife more than a decade ago.

Acquisitions

Only one acquisition this week that didn’t have a premiere date: TV 2 (Denmark) and Arte (France)’s DNA, which will air later in the year.

Full details of when and where you can watch Ted Lasso, Perry Mason, Spides, Sommerdahl (The Sommerdahl Murders), Sygeplejeskolen (The New Nurses), Noces rouges (A Deadly Union), Can You Hear Me? and El Presidente after the jump
