Danny Dyer and Stephen Graham 'set to reunite for gritty new drama' to rival Netflix hit Adolescence
is reportedly teaming up with acting heavyweight Stephen Graham for a powerful new TV drama - and it's tipped to go head-to-head with 2025's biggest hit, Adolescence. The pair, who last worked together in the 2009 cult horror Doghouse, are in early talks to create a hard-hitting series tackling some of the toughest issues facing society today. A source told The Mirror: 'It's a gritty new drama. They are currently thrashing out what they want to do but it will be in the vein of Adolescence. Something unflinching and moving.' Adolescence, which starred Stephen and was co-created by him and writer Jack Thorne, has become Netflix 's most-watched series of the year. It sparked a national debate and was even discussed in Parliament over its depiction of teenage misogyny and online safety. The series, which follows a father whose teenage son is arrested for murder, hit No1 in 71 countries and clocked up a staggering 66.3 million views in just two weeks. Danny, 47, has publicly praised his friend's work, saying: 'It's such an important subject, Steve. You've got to roll me into something. I want a bit of this.' Away from the cameras, it is reported the duo are also planning to reunite on a more personal level, organising a double date with wives Joanne Mas and Hannah Walters. MailOnline has contacted Danny and Stephen's representatives. It comes after Danny recently revealed he left locals wide-eyed in shock when he ran through a council estate 'stark naked' while filming Mr. Bigstuff. After the success of its first series, the second instalment of the Sky comedy-drama is set to hit screens later this year. The show follows two estranged and rather contrasting brothers, Glen (Ryan Sampson) and Lee (Danny Dyer), as they discover that their father, who they thought was dead, is actually alive. But during filming for the show's second series, which has now finished, Danny was asked to do something not many actors have done before - run through a British council estate fully nude. He and his co-star Ryan told Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston about the hilarious scene on Wednesday during an appearance on Heart Breakfast. As well as working on the production side of things for Adolescence, Hannah also had a camep role in the series as the teacher Mrs Bailey in episode two Ryan explained: 'So, series two, end of the first episode, it got quite a visceral... Shall we say a full-frontal moment?', before Danny revealed: 'Nudity.' Ryan continued: 'There's a full-frontal moment, and it's in a public place as well. And I wasn't sure whether Danny would to do it or whatever, but he's completely up for it.' 'It's a scene where I'm running through a council estate, yeah, stark naked,' Dyer quipped. 'I read it, I laughed. I thought you know, "it's got to be done". The first ep is about Lee, he's been emasculated. So he's just moping about all day, so irritated. 'He needs to find his mojo, I was going to say his plums!,' the former EastEnders actor laughed. 'Anyways, so there's this amazing scene at the end where I'm sort of chasing someone down the street, and I've got a towel, and I take the towel off, and I use it as some sort of lasso. 'I mean, you're sort of reading it going, "How on Earth are we going to do this?"' Ryan went onto describe the moment Danny whipped off the towel and sprinted through the estate, with a local even spotting him as he did so. 'Like, I thought we were going to shut the road down or something. Actually, nope. It's just a real suburban street! 'So, I'm stood at the other end of the street and he's running, and there's this man on his phone. Danny is running down, and this man goes - he's outside the house - and he goes on a phone, "Sorry babe, I'm going to have to get back to you, because there's a man running down the street naked, and I'm not being funny, he looks like Mick from EastEnders".' Danny played Mick, who owned the Queen Victoria pub in the popular BBC soap, for a nine-year period beginning in 2013.

Bear Grylls reportedly set to host bizarre new BBC show that sees 'feuding people rekindle through nature'
Bear Grylls is reportedly lined-up to host a bizarre new BBC show that will see the born survivor 'rekindle feuding people through nature'. The 51-year-old adventurer will lead colleagues, friends and neighbours alike on an expedition in Wild Reckoning, according to a TV source. It's thought the show will air next year, after his Netflix series Celebrity Bear Hunt was axed after just one series. But it seems he's back with something a little different this time. An insider told The Sun: 'Bear will be back doing what he does best - showing people that nature is the best healer. 'He's married for 25 years and a dad of three so is well versed in handling such challenges.' Bear has previously said that good communication with wife Shara, 51, and their three sons is the key to getting along. Daily Mail has contacted the BBC and Bear's reps for comment. In June, it was confirmed Netflix have axed their big money television show Celebrity Bear Hunt. The programme, which was set in Costa Rica and was hosted by Holly Willoughby alongside Bear Grylls, won't return. Sources close to the show which aired in February say that while the ratings did well it was expensive to make and Netflix are now planning to do more live events rather than pre-recorded shows. One told MailOnline: 'Everyone was very proud of the show but when it came to it, it was just so expensive to make. 'You had to have a whole set in Costa Rica, loads of staff and loads of celebrities. The overheads were eyewatering.' It is understood that cheaper locations were looked at but nothing was appeared to be suitable. Celebrity Bear Hunt had an impressive line up of celebrities including Spice Girl Mel B and tennis player Boris Becker who would not have been cheap to hire, according to sources. Other celebrities that took part included Lottie Moss, Danny Cipriani, Big Zuu, Joe Thomas, Kola Bokinni, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Leomie Anderson, Shirley Ballas, Steph McGovern and Una Healy. The show, which was Holly's first programme with Netflix, featured twelve celebrities who are sent to a jungle in Costa Rica, where they were forced to avoid being hunted down by Grylls. Along the way, the celebrities faced various challenges and solve puzzles.

ALEXANDRA SHULMAN'S NOTEBOOK: My guide to making our US friends feel at home
A few months back I wrote of how the Americans were coming to London, bringing with them early dining and a takeover of the capital's tennis courts. Many of those escaping Trump's America are also bringing the big buck spending power we urgently need now that wealthy non-doms are leaving en masse. So we must welcome the Americans, keep them close and make sure that they don't skip off to Portugal or Spain after one British winter (they don't speak the language there, so there's hope). Writer Lena Dunham, whose TV series Girls in the mid-2010s defined an era of New York singledom, is one of those who has relocated here. It seems to have inspired her new Netflix comedy series Too Much, in which the central character, Jessica, is posted to London for work. Unlike most hyper-organised Americans I know here, Jessica is a chaotic hot mess. 'Do the British find American accents as sexy as we find yours?' she asks her new London boyfriend, who fails to come up with the correct answer, which should be, 'Of course. We love listening to you!' To ensure we Brits don't make similar mistakes with our valued new guests, I have devised a few guidelines to make Americans feel more at home: Do not ask 'What's a person like you doing in a place like this?' – as I heard one Brit say to my American ex-husband over dinner in a club. Do not make jokes about Toto to an American who mentions Kansas. Do show your amazement that they manage to get tickets to every sold-out show in town like Oasis or Wimbledon. Do not ask 'How much did you have to pay for that?' Americans like to drink spirits. Never greet them with 'Would you like a glass of red, white or pink?' Prepare them for the fact that whenever somebody asks how long it takes to get somewhere, the Brits will always underestimate and claim you can get there in no time at all. Cheltenham has never been an hour and a half drive from London. Don't mention Trump – no matter which political side they are on. They are fed up with hearing our opinions on that subject. Sarah may bloom out of the limelight Like many, I've bought my fair share of plants from Sarah Raven. Some have thrived, some haven't – just like plants I've bought anywhere. For years, Sarah's been the face of her gardening company, with its sumptuous catalogue and website that tempts even the most hopeless gardener into orders of cafe au lait dahlias. There she is, dressed in smocks and gardening aprons, secateurs at the ready. Now, as her business hits trouble, she's suffering the usual backlash directed at any woman who is the public face of their company. Being in that position swings both ways. Customers often buy from women they want to emulate – Victoria Beckham, Charlotte Tilbury, Trinny Woodall. They want to hear them speak, watch them move, see what they wear. Their personality is a big part of the draw. But it's hard work being so visible – and when bad times roll in, it is the woman leading from the front who gets personally attacked. Often, like perfumer Jo Malone or homeware designer Cath Kidston, you even lose the rights to your own name and have to watch strangers do with it what they will. I'm sure Sarah Raven will recalibrate her business and will soon be tempting us with her spring bulbs again. But perhaps this time with her face slightly less conspicuously on the tin. Michelle's hair now has a life of its own Cherchez la femme, cherchez les cheveux. If you want to know what's going on with a woman, the best place to look is her hair. Michelle Obama is the perfect illustration of this truism. During her First Lady years, Obama's hair was a straightened helmet – as rigid as Lady Thatcher's famous shampoo and set. Since leaving the White House her hair has taken on a whole new identity. In the videos that accompany the IMO podcast she shares with her brother Craig, her ever-changing hairdos tell the story of her liberation from the presidential lifestyle. Now her daughters have left home and her husband is no longer in office, her life is 'totally about me', she claims. So enter the intricate braids and buns, extensions and weaves that she presumably felt she couldn't indulge in when her husband was leader of the free world. She often looks like a fabulous warrior queen. I wonder if Rachel Reeves will go wild when she no longer has to convince the country she knows what she's doing with our economy. Will she run free and let that neat bob morph into a rock chick layered shag? An Astute present that's fit for a Queen Some might consider the personalised clingfilm dispenser HMS Astute given to Queen Camilla for her 78th birthday a little odd. Not me. The business of severing film from the roll is not part of my skill set and, invariably, I end up with a nasty tangle of the stuff, incapable of keeping anything fresh. I'm sure the Navy have come up with something a notch above your bog-standard cardboard number. I'd love to know where they got it. A houseful of clutter – what's not to love? What cheering news that the young are apparently turning to analogue entertainment, buying DVDs and even searching out vintage Walkman players to listen to cassettes. They'll discover it's much more satisfying than streaming. We still have shelves of old record albums and CDs in the house, which I've been unable to throw out even though I rarely play them. They're like the clothes you keep in your wardrobe which are highly unlikely ever to fit you again. You feel content in their company. They are faithful old friends reminding you of times past.
