Excuse the intense and somewhat emotional navel gazing, but a little website for anglophiles you may have heard of just turned 10 this week. 

Former Tenth Doctor David Tennant announced this week that he’s launching a new podcast and even though everyone and their brother pretty much has a podcast right now, it’s pretty hard not to be extremely excited about this news.

Fantasy author Neil Gaiman’s popular American Gods follow-up novel Anansi Boys is getting a star-studded radio adaptation for BBC Radio 4.

The six-part drama will air this holiday season beginning December 25, and be available to listen to online soon thereafter. 

Comic Relief's Red Nose Day has come around again! Check out our collection of star-studded clips from this year's fundraising event including a sneak peek at the much anticipated Love Actually sequel.

BBC Radio 4 is launching a follow-up to their star-studded 2012 radio adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere. Gaiman’s sprawling fantasy story is set in a mysterious world called London Below, which exists under the streets of the city and is ruled over by a variety of colorful figures.  

Downton Abbey fans will get a special treat during the 127th Rose Parade, when a new float celebrating the popular costume drama will debut. Fittingly named “The Final Adventure,” the float will recreate the landscape of the Crawley family estate, complete with English rose gardens, rolling green lawns and a 1919 Bentley.

(No word yet on which – if any – Downton cast members we might see take part in the parade itself on January 1, 2016. But here’s hoping!)

Excellent news for Benedict Cumberbatch fans – a new series of radio plays based on Rumple of the Bailey are slated to air this summer on BBC Radio 4!

This is good news for those of us who feel like we maybe have been going through a bit of Cumberbatch withdrawal of late. Yes, a new Sherlock special is headed our way later this year, Marvel’s Doctor Strange is on the horizon and his West End turn in Hamlet is slated for later this summer, but since the Oscar campaign for The Imitation Game wrapped in February, there’s been much less Cumberbatch to go around. Happily, we seem to be done with that for a bit.

The first installment of this four-part series will be Rumpole and the Portia of Our Chambers and will air on Friday, July 3 at 2:15pm. The series will once again be based on the Rumpole of the Bailey books written John Mortimer, adapted by Richard Stoneman and produced by Marilyn Imrie.

Springtime - when everyone's thoughts turn to warmer weather and a proliferation of Easter candy, most notably in the shape of rabbits, eggs and your favorite actor. Okay, so I made that last bit up - except for how I didn't, really. Thanks to some enterprising chocolatiers and the launch of a new Drama channel on British on-demand service UKTV Play, we now know what everyone's favorite It British Actor of the moment - Benedict Cumberbatch - might look like if he were comprised entirely of chocolate. About 40,000 grams (or ~500 bars) of Belgian chocolate, to be exact.

This year has been a monumental one for Comic Relief, the British comedy-based charity co-founded by writer/director Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry three decades ago.

Comic Relief grew out of the success of Bob Geldolf’s Live Aid benefit concerts for Africa. Its efforts have united the people of the UK in raising money for aid organizations primarily in Africa and at home.
