By Jon Donnis

Sky has announced Don’t Forget Me: The Disappearance of Amy Fitzpatrick, a new three-part true crime documentary examining the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl from Spain’s Costa del Sol and the family divisions that have surrounded the case for almost two decades.

The series will arrive on Sky Documentaries and NOW from 29 November, revisiting the events surrounding Amy’s disappearance on New Year’s Day 2008 and the unanswered questions that continue to haunt those closest to her.

Five years after Amy vanished, her family suffered another devastating tragedy when her brother Dean died from a stab wound on a Dublin street in 2013. Dave Mahon, Amy’s stepfather, was subsequently found guilty of Dean’s manslaughter, bringing further scrutiny to the family and the circumstances surrounding both tragedies.

In the years following Amy’s disappearance, her mother Audrey and stepfather Dave led a high-profile campaign to find her. However, as the years passed, questions and suspicions created deep divisions within the family. Amy’s biological father Chris and her aunt Christine increasingly found themselves at odds with Audrey and Dave, leaving the family fractured as they continued searching for answers.

Now, with the investigation facing the prospect of being closed for good, those closest to Amy are making a renewed appeal for information.

Produced by The Slate Works, the company behind 9/11: Inside the President’s War Room, Don’t Forget Me brings together rare access to both sides of Amy’s family, alongside interviews with her closest friends, the last people known to have seen her alive, journalists who continue to investigate the case and members of An Garda Síochána, Ireland’s national police service.

Featuring new testimony never previously made public, the three-part series examines the conflicting accounts and versions of events that have surrounded Amy’s disappearance. It also explores the impact the case has had on those left behind, as her family continues to seek answers nearly 20 years after she was last seen.

Don’t Forget Me: The Disappearance of Amy Fitzpatrick premieres on Sky Documentaries and NOW on 29 November.

By Jon Donnis

Taskmaster is set to welcome five new celebrity contestants for its annual festive special, Taskmaster’s New Year Treat, with a fresh collection of familiar faces preparing to take on Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne’s unusual challenges.

The latest line-up brings together personalities from television, music, broadcasting and the legal profession, all of whom will be expected to put their skills to the test in a series of deliberately ridiculous tasks. However, despite their respective achievements, none should expect any special treatment from the famously imposing Taskmaster or his loyal assistant.

The five celebrities cfestonfirmed for the festive edition are BAFTA-nominated television presenter Alison Hammond, best known for her appearances on Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off, chart-topping musician Chesney Hawkes, and railway enthusiast, broadcaster and viral content creator Francis Bourgeois, who has also appeared on Prime Video's The Grand Tour.

Completing the line-up are BBC Chief News Presenter Maryam Moshiri, presenter of The World Today With Maryam Moshiri on BBC News, and barrister, broadcaster and author Rob Rinder.

The special will once again bring together five well-known figures from very different backgrounds, creating an unpredictable mix as they attempt to impress Greg Davies while following the increasingly bizarre instructions provided by Alex Horne.

The BAFTA and Rose D'Or-winning entertainment show is set to return over the festive season with a double helping of Taskmaster's New Year Treat. Exact transmission details have yet to be announced and will be revealed in due course.

The Hormone Fix: Davinia Taylor Explores the Science Behind Our Hormones in New Channel 4 Special

Image: Ch4

By Jon Donnis

Channel 4 is set to explore the fascinating world of hormonal health with The Hormone Fix, a one-off factual special fronted by actor, author and wellbeing advocate Davinia Taylor.

Produced by Little Bird Films, the 60-minute programme will see Davinia investigate the important role hormones play in our everyday lives, examining how they can influence everything from sleep, stress and mood to appetite and energy levels. While hormones are something we rarely give much thought to, their impact on our overall wellbeing is considerable, and the programme promises to uncover just how much they can affect the way we feel and function.

Meeting leading experts alongside contributors with personal experience of hormonal health issues, Davinia will explore the science behind the subject while looking at practical ways to better understand our bodies. Along the way, she will investigate emerging wellness approaches and discover useful insights that viewers may be able to incorporate into their own daily routines.

Combining scientific expertise with personal stories and Davinia's natural curiosity, The Hormone Fix aims to make what can often be a complicated subject both accessible and engaging. Rather than simply explaining how hormones work, the programme hopes to encourage viewers to take a closer look at their own wellbeing habits and develop a better understanding of the processes taking place inside their bodies.

With growing interest in the connection between hormonal health and everyday wellbeing, The Hormone Fix looks set to offer an intriguing and potentially eye-opening exploration of a subject that affects us all.

Davinia Taylor said: "We're told to accept feeling tired, stressed, foggy and out of sorts as a normal part of life, especially as we get older. I don't buy that. Hormones affect so much more than people realise, and I want to explore what happens when we start paying attention to them. Hormones make us feel happy and safe and bring us joy and love. If this programme gets people asking more questions and feeling more in control of their health, then that's a win."

The Hormone Fix will air on Channel 4 next year.

Babylon 5 Television Movies Coming to LEGEND

By Jon Donnis

LEGEND, the television channel dedicated to action, sci-fi and thrillers, will be showing the Channel premieres of six feature-length Babylon 5 television movies between Tuesday 10 November and Tuesday 17 November, with each film airing at 6pm.

Following the successful broadcast of all five seasons of J. Michael Straczynski’s acclaimed 1990s space opera, LEGEND is giving viewers another opportunity to explore the Babylon 5 universe through six standalone television movies.

Expanding on the political intrigue, galactic conflicts and character-driven storytelling of the original series, these feature-length adventures offer fans the chance to revisit familiar territory while discovering further chapters in the enduring science-fiction saga.

Tues 10 Nov @ 18:00 – BABYLON 5: IN THE BEGINNING (1998)

In the year 2776, the now-aged Centauri Emperor Londo Mollari recalls the never-before-revealed events of the cataclysmic Earth/Minbari War, which almost destroyed the human race and led to the creation of Babylon 5. This is a prequel to the series.

 

Wed 11 Nov @ 18:00 – BABYLON 5: THIRDSPACE (1998)

The station crew discovers an enormous, millions-of-years-old artifact floating in hyperspace. When they activate it, they inadvertently open a gateway to "Thirdspace" — an alternate universe home to a telepathic, hyper-violent alien species. The artifact begins mind-controlling the station's residents, forcing Captain John Sheridan and the crew into a desperate fight to shut the gateway down before the entity destroys the galaxy.

 

Thurs 12 Nov @ 18:00 – BABYLON 5: THE RIVER OF SOULS (1998)

An archaeologist brings a stolen soul vessel to Babylon 5, which accidentally unleashes billions of angry, trapped souls. As the station falls into chaos, a fleet of angry Soul Hunters arrives to violently reclaim their stolen property, forcing Captain Elizabeth Lochley to broker a peace. Also stars Martin Sheen and Ian McShane.

 

Fri 13 Nov @ 18:00 – BABYLON 5: A CALL TO ARMS (1999)

President John Sheridan receives apocalyptic visions of an impending attack on Earth. The Drakh, vengeful servants of the defeated Shadows, launch a massive strike force, successfully releasing a slow acting, highly lethal bioweapon into Earth’s atmosphere, giving humanity five years to find a cure. Also stars horror icon Tony Todd.

 

Mon 16 Nov @ 18:00 – BABYLON 5: LEGEND OF THE RANGERS (2002)

A disgraced Ranger, David Martel, is given command of an outdated, quirky patrol ship named the Liandra. During a routine escort mission for an interstellar diplomatic group, Martel and his crew become the thin line of defence against a dangerous and mysterious new ancient threat known as the "The Hand".

 

Tues 17 Nov @ 18:00 – BABYLON 5: THE LOST TALES (2007)

This final release focuses on the personal stories of the original crew. Colonel Lochley deals with an Earthforce maintenance worker on Babylon 5 who appears to be possessed by a literal supernatural demon, and President Sheridan is warned by a technomage of a catastrophic future where a young Centauri prince destroys Earth, forcing him to make a difficult moral choice about assassination.

BABYLON 5 is the newest addition to LEGEND’s rich and popular catalogue of nostalgic content, the success of which highlights the powerful emotional appeal of these series. And reflects a broader trend across the television landscape, with vintage series proving increasingly popular with audiences.

BABYLON 5 will be restarting from the very beginning on LEGEND, kicking off with the pilot movie THE GATHERING on Wednesday 18 November and continuing weeknights at 7pm.

Don’t F*** With Fans: Blackpool FC’s bitter battle comes to Sky

Image: Sky TV

By Jon Donnis

Blackpool FC’s extraordinary rise from the lower leagues to the Premier League was a footballing fairytale. But the celebrations soon gave way to one of the most bitter ownership disputes in English football, as the club’s wealthy owners found themselves locked in a prolonged battle with the supporters. Now, a new Sky Original documentary, Don’t F*** With Fans, revisits the remarkable events that divided a football club and its town.

When the Oyston family took control of Blackpool FC, the club was struggling in the lower reaches of the English Football League. That all changed in 2010, when charismatic manager Ian Holloway guided the team to an unlikely promotion to the Premier League. The achievement brought a reported £90 million financial windfall, but questions over how that money was being used soon threatened to overshadow the club's success.

As relations between the Oystons and supporters deteriorated, Blackpool's fortunes on the pitch also began to decline. Frustrated fans organised a protest movement that would become one of English football's most significant supporter campaigns. Boycotts, guerrilla tactics and years of confrontation followed, as an increasingly personal dispute over the club's future took its toll on everyone involved. Eventually, the campaign succeeded, with the Oystons forced to relinquish control.

Produced by South Shore Productions, the team behind Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams, this one-off feature documentary brings together the people at the heart of the dispute. Former chairman Karl Oyston and his father, businessman Owen Oyston, join Holloway, former players and supporters who helped lead the campaign to reflect on a turbulent chapter in the club's history.

Don’t F*** With Fans looks set to be a fascinating examination of football, loyalty and the power of ordinary supporters to challenge those in control. Beyond the boardroom arguments and financial questions, it is a story about a community fighting for the future of something deeply important to it.

With years of resentment, personal sacrifice, humour and determination at its heart, this is a remarkable David and Goliath story that promises to capture the passion and unmistakable character of Blackpool itself.

 Watch Don’t F*** with Fans on Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW on  21 November
