‘Grantchester’ fan struggling with latest season
possibly in a different iteration,” ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke told Deadline — but nothing definite at this writing.
“It was a lucky and rare treat to play ‘John Irvin’ one more time,” Brochtrup said on Facebook. “I’ve always loved this character with his big, open heart. I had a magical time making the pilot, revisiting the 15th Squad, and working with old friends. A joy from start to finish.”
Q: My favorite shows, “Young Sheldon” and “Modern Family,” are not airing anymore. Were they canceled?
A: No in both cases. Those of us who remember when summer was a time for broadcast network shows to air repeats have to recognize that the audience for those replays has declined in most cases and the networks opt instead for different programs in the summer months. Then the favored shows return in the fall. “Young Sheldon” begins its third season Sept. 26, now in the 8 p.m. slot formerly held by “The Big Bang Theory.” “Modern Family” will be back on Sept. 25 for its 11th season. That’s also expected to be its final run, but there is talk about a spinoff.
Q: I have been trying to get the old movie “The Adventures of Hajji Baba” with John Derek, and with Nat King Cole singing the title song. However, Bo Derek, John’s widow, owns the rights and refuses to sell it. Can you help me get this movie? I do not have a computer.
A: I don’t have any clout with Bo Derek, who had not been born when John made this movie in 1954 and who as far as I can find has not kept it out of circulation. There is a Blu-ray version available from Twilight Time Movies in a “region-free” format, which should work in any player. Maybe you have a friend who can go online to order it.
