I’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.
Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK
And the premiere dates and acquisitions keep on coming.
Full details for The Comey Rule,Tommy, Social Distance, Someone Has to Die and The Minions of Midas after the jump. But first, a couple of shows without premiere dates:
Acquisitions
Syfy has acquired the rights to CBC (Canada)’s Trickster. No hint of a premiere date at all for that one
My5 has picked up E! (US)’s The Arrangement, which will become available some time this year
Cinemas are open again, but there ain’t a lot on at the moment – although I’m going to see the new Bill and Ted this afternoon, so that’s something to look forward to for the next Orange Thursday. Until then, it’s a momentary fall back to the streaming services for Orange Thursday, as we take in two movies available on Netflix.
The first is another of Netflix’s attempts to create a movie franchise of its own, The Old Guard (2020), while the other is the latest, somewhat franchise-ruining entry in the Jurassic World series: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).
See you after the very un-Netflix ads and the trailers.
