MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE Series Reboot Gets a New Subtitle Name LIFE'S STILL UNFAIR — GeekTyrant
The Malcolm in the Middle limited series reboot wrapped production last month, and we are just hearing about the new name the episodes will go by - Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair , a reference to the show's theme song, 'Boss of Me,' by They Might Be Giants, which concludes with the words, 'Life is unfair…' It's a great throwback title, and not only does it get that song stuck in our heads, but it brings back memories of the show, and gets us excited to revisit these characters. The reboot will follow Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) and his daughter (newcomer Keeley Karsten) as they are drawn back into the boisterous family's chaos when Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) demand his presence at their 40th wedding anniversary festivities. Also reprising their roles are Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield, who portrayed Malcolm's older brothers, Francis and Reese, respectively. Caleb Ellsworth-Clark is taking over the role of genius Malcolm's younger brother, Dewey. Additional newcomers include Kiana Madeira as Malcolm's girlfriend; Anthony Timpano, cast as Malcolm's youngest brother, Jamie, who was seen as a baby and toddler on the original series; and Vaughan Murrae as Malcolm's youngest sibling, Kelly (who, like the character's actor, is nonbinary), whose existence was revealed in the series finale when Lois revealed her positive pregnancy test. Stay tuned for the announcement of the release date of the new episodes of Malcom in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair .

IT may have ended six months ago, but the drama from last year's I'm A Celebrity lived on thanks to Maura Higgins and Danny Jones' illicit kiss at The Brit Awards in March. Now campmate Dean McCullough has revealed some of the class of '24 are set for a TV reunion. 2 The Radio 1 DJ said: 'A few of us have just been away filming a TV show which is coming out at the end of the year. It's a really exciting one actually and it'll be on around when the jungle's on. 'A bit of a camp reunion . . . and it is camp, I'm doing it!' Dean was in the jungle with celebrities including Coleen Rooney, Loose Woman and Sun columnist Jane Moore and TikTok star GK Barry. His career has rocketed since then. He is now a regular on ITV panel shows such as Big Brother: Late And Live and has just appeared on BBC's The Hit List. There was some tension between Dean and other camp mates in the jungle. During the show, fans hit out at Dean for catty comments towards Coleen. Scouse WAG Coleen revealed her husband Wayne Rooney didn't put on a lavish proposal when he popped the question. Speaking in the Bush Telegraph direct to camera and away from camp, Dean delivered a catty comment as he sniped: "Coleen I'm not being funny babe but I would have run a mile. "But then I would have missed out on the big house, the nice life and the four day wedding, and everything." Viewers at home didn't miss the catty comment either, as one said: "Why is it we have to keep seeing Dean comment on everything in the hut?"

TV host Tony Squires chokes back tears as he farewells viewers after his star-studded Back Page sports show was axed after almost 30 YEARS
Frustrated sports fans across Australia want answers after The Back Page screened for the final time on Tuesday night. The popular show was axed earlier this month after 29 years on the air, with Fox Sports boss Steve Crawley declaring, 'Everything has a lifespan.' In emotional scenes, host Tony Squires choked back tears as he thanked viewers for their loyalty across almost three decades. 'I am not going to lie, it's going to be really hard to walk out tonight, but go we must,' Squires began on show number 481. 'We've been around a long time. Thank you for letting us into your lives for that stretch. 'Thank you to the more than 500 people who have taken a seat on the panel or as a guest. Thank you to sport for being the best live unscripted theatre. 'Thank you to anyone who has celebrated victory prematurely and five-putted and recorded it. Thank you so much for doing that. 'And so from everyone at The Back Page, goodbye.' It didn't long for sports enthusiasts to vent their frustration online. 'One of the best shows on TV. Watched every Tuesday. Bizarre decision to end it,' said one on X. 'Devastated. Great show that still had fuel in the tank, in my opinion,' posted another. 'Couldn't care less about all the endless NRL and AFL shows they have on. This is the type of show there should be more of, and they (Fox Sports) are getting rid of it,' added a third. Before Squires assumed hosting duties in March of 2013, the late Mike Gibson was the man in the hot seat, working closely with Billy Birmingham and famed reporter Peter Frilingos. Regular recent contributors have included Ironwoman champion Candice Warner, radio identity Ryan Fitzgerald and veteran News Corp sports journalist Robert 'Crash' Craddock. Some of the high profile guests over the years include legendary boxer Mike Tyson, three-time Olympic gold medallist Jessica Fox and rising athletics star Gout Gout.

Benidorm reboot 'in crisis' as show's creator and lead star rocked by 'miserable' divorce after years of keeping marriage out of the spotlight
The Benidorm reboot is 'in crisis' after the show's creator and one of the lead stars were rocked by a 'miserable' divorce. Writer Derren Litten, 54, and Mateo Castellano star Jake Canuso, 55, had been together for years and lived in Benidorm, Spain. However, in 2022 they decided to go their separate ways and officially divorced last year. This could make the show's return to our screens, eight years after it was axed, a little bit complicated, according to insiders. A source told The Sun: 'Matteo is Benidorm, he's the character that everyone wants to see. 'He's been part of the Solana since the beginning so for him not to feature in any future reboot, well it just would not be the same without him. 'Jake created one of the show's most loved characters in Matteo, but with everything that's happened between him and Derren, it's not looking good.' Another added: 'Conversations have been had. 'The only way Jake will return is if ITV make him a huge offer, one that he could not possibly turn down. 'But obviously Derren is making negotiations difficult. He is the writer and creator and believes that he should make all the decisions. 'The fans would want to see Matteo, which ITV get. It's all become one big headache.' Taking to X to address their split last year, Derren said: 'I don't really talk about my personal life here but the reason I've been a bit scarce on the socials is for the last 18 months I've been going through a pretty miserable divorce. 'So I'm obviously poor now. And you thought we couldn't have more in common then we already do?!' MailOnline contacted Jake's rep for comment. Derren (pictured) said on X last year: 'I don't really talk about my personal life here but the reason I've been a bit scarce on the socials is for the last 18 months I've been going through a pretty miserable divorce' Jake played senior barman Mateo Castellanos at the hotel between 2007 and 2018. Benidorm aired 74 episodes across 10 series on ITV between 2007 and 2018. Fans were over the moon when a potential reboot hit headlines back in April. Just two months after its cancellation was confirmed, the show won best comedy at TV Choice Awards - with its creator Derren calling out the decision in his acceptance speech at the time. But fans may not have to wait too long for their Benidorm fix, as The Sun reported ITV bosses were in talks to reboot the show. A TV insider told the publication: 'Benidorm was adored by millions when it was suddenly cancelled. Fans will be thrilled to hear ITV wants to bring it back. 'An 11th series hasn't been commissioned yet, but there's major excitement building as early talks begin. The hilarious sitcom began in 2007 but came to an end in May 2018, and fans have been begging for more ever since 'Producers have started to reach out to the show's stars and are hopefully a decision can be made later this year.' Fans were ecstatic as the news circulated online, writing: 'Sincerely hope this is true!! Dearly missed show!'; 'Feel like I'm dreaming. Really hope they make this happen,'; 'Omg yay I hope they all come back!!'; 'Ur 5 days late for April fools... or its actually real?!?! Finally ITV bringing back a INCREDIBLE Show,'; 'Omg! I'm absolutely buzzing with excitement! This is the best news ever! I really hope the Garveys come back!' 'I hope so cause that would be the best birthday present every.' The ITV Brits abroad sitcom - which followed a group of holidaymakers in the Spanish resort and their hilarious escapades - came to an end in May 2018 after 11 years, and fans have been begging for more ever since. In 2023, show creator Derren teased a return of the beloved series as he announced that he was returning back to writing for 'both television and theatre'. He said: 'I have had clear, recent indications that certain TV channels are interested in my decision and I hope you will be watching the fruits of my labour in time to come.' Then, last month he sparked hope of its comeback once again when a fan asked on X: '@DerrenLitten @ITV Another series of Benidorm on the cards?' and he cryptically replied: 'Who knows...' Announcing the news on social media that it had been axed in 2018, Derren said: 'Crazy to think Wednesday will be the last episode of Benidorm! 'I created the series over 11 years ago, wrote it, guest starred in it and ended up directing it. It's difficult to think what else there is to do! Thank you for watching!' Actor Shane Richie waded into the debate, admitting he has disappointed by the decision to axe Benidorm after 11-years. Sharing a GIF with fans, he wrote: 'Sunday is a day of rest I refuse to get angry... inhale, exhale Sammy, just breath you big lump of beautiful gorgeousness... F**k it !!!! Nooooooooooo!' Derren had initially dismissed reports that Benidorm was being taken off air after its 10th series. Posting on Twitter, he wrote: "Don't make me f**king laugh! (I enjoyed that story after series 6. And 7 and 8 and 9...) (sic)' He later removed the message and retweeted a series of positive fan posts. A source told The Sun at the time: 'Benidorm' has been a huge success for ITV for a decade, but bosses feel it's run its course. 'The ratings have started to drop off and a number of the fan favourites have left, so it just feels as though the time is right to let it go out while it's still on a high.

Benidorm return in crisis as creator's secret DIVORCE from show star throws reunion into chaos
THE return of iconic ITV comedy Benidorm has hit the rocks following a huge falling out between creator Derren Litten and the show's biggest star Jake Canuso who plays randy barman Matteo. The pair had quietly been a real life couple, and had been happily married for years, choosing to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. 2 2 Living together in Benidorm, Derren even opened a bar called 'Matteo's' in the holiday hotspot which saw Jake often turn up for special guest appearances.
