THE UNDOING

WE are completely gripped by this Sky Atlantic thriller starring Nicole Kidman, right, and Hugh Grant as a wealthy New York couple caught up in a grisly murder. We are not sure what we love more, the plot or the gorgeous home they live in.

SOAPS

CORRIE, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and EastEnders fans have no need to panic, producers have confirmed that recording will continue throughout the new lockdown in England, so they won’t be at risk of going off air. Just as well, because we haven’t got much else to do but watch TV.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

THE comedy favourite is to return for a festive special. Actress Linda Robson, who plays Tracy, revealed the news this week, although her co-star Pauline Quirke who played sister Sharon will not appear, having chosen to retire from acting.

JOHN LEWIS

AFTER announcing the permanent closure of some of its stores earlier this year, the retailer has confirmed it will be cutting 1,500 head office roles as part of a five-year transforma­tion plan to “return to sustainabl­e profits by 2025”.

KANYE WEST

CONFIRMING the eventual president in the US election may have dragged on, but one thing was for sure within a few hours of polls closing, and it was that Kanye West lost. The rapper pulled in around 60,000 votes but says he will run again in 2024.
