Bay Of Fires

Full series drop available on ITVX here

Series overview

Showcasing Tasmania’s rugged west coast, Bay Of Fires, tells the story of Stella (Marta Dusseldorp), who unexpectedly finds herself in a small, remote community. But it’s not the kind of place they put on postcards – it is instead rife with simmering feuds, crime and sometimes, murder.

Anika Van Cleef is the last person you would expect to find living in a remote community in Tasmania. Betrayed and in danger, she has no other option but to trust a stranger who claims to be on her side, accept a new name she hates (Stella Heikkinen), and move her family to Mystery Bay — a town so remote it eludes GPS.

Mystery Bay isn't the kind of place they put on postcards. There are no waterfalls, murals, or floral clocks, and the natural beauty that is there (a dense, primordial forest) — the town does its very best to hide.

Episodic synopses

Episode 1
Targeted by two hitmen, successful CEO of ProperAus Finance, Stella narrowly escapes with the help of a mysterious woman called Airini. Stella is instructed to pick up her kids, Otis and Iris, and prepare to leave town immediately if she wants to stay alive. After sneaking home to pack a bag, Stella is horrified to discover that her boyfriend, Johann, is leading the hitmen trying to kill her. She meets with Airini and is given a new identity, a burner phone, and three one-way tickets to a small town in Tasmania- Mystery Bay. They are to remain there until further notice. The family arrive in Mystery Bay- fondly renamed as Misery Bay- a strange town with equally strange inhabitants. The locals aren’t exactly welcoming of the new arrivals and are mostly unhelpful, hostile, or just downright confusing. They meet Jeremiah, a rough tow truck driver, Jodie, the owner of the rarely frequented pub, Connor, the local mechanic and Magda and Heather, who have a beloved pet pig called Truffles. Francis- a dodgy real estate agent, eventually gives them keys to their new house, which Stella tells the kids they will be living in longer than expected. They soon discover it is falling apart- the floorboards are rotten and there are gaping holes throughout various rooms. During the night, the family are woken by trucks passing through the property’s front yard. Just as Stella decides to go outside and assess the danger, she falls through the floor to a cellar below.

When Stella and Otis relationship becomes particularly strained, she calls Airini in the hopes of leaving, but Airini insists that the family must remain in Mystery Bay. Stella decides to reveal the truth to Otis in the hopes of regaining trust and connection. However, it only adds to his criticism of her parenting skills and resentment towards her. Upon returning to the house when Jeremiah is finished, the floorboards have been redone, and to Stella’s surprise - it’s beautiful. Stella begins to feel more comfortable with Jeremiah who is proving to be more helpful and less grumpy than she initially thought.

Tensions rise between Otis and Stella, and his resentment grows when she forgets his birthday. Otis and Elysha’s interest in each other grows as the pair deepen their connection.

A fan favourite when it first aired in 2023, this fast-paced gameshow sees two families battle against each other in a thrilling game with a uniquely challenging twist. With an impressive prize of a whopping £20,000, the contestants will have to answer questions hidden within a montage of moving images.  

To win the cash, the contestants will have to shout the answers they see on ten TV screens from ten different categories. For every question they get right, they move up the money ladder, but every question they get wrong sends them back down. The pressure is on, as the families will have to bank as much cash as possible to avoid crashing out altogether.

Across the six weeks series one aired, ITV1’s Saturday 7pm slot was up +20% year-on-year for volume and the series reached 3.5m viewers every week.

Changing Ends

[Full series drop available on ITVX here]

Series overview

Alan Carr’s semi-autobiographical sitcom. Head to 80s Northampton, where this football manager’s son-turned-famous comic grew up against the harsh backdrop of Thatcher’s Britain.

Changing Ends is based on Alan’s own life in Northampton in the 1980’s growing up as the son of a fourth division football manager.  

Alan Carr will star in the series as himself in present day, whilst taking on the role of young Alan is Oliver Savell.

Also starring cast Shaun Dooley and Nancy Sullivan playing Alan’s parents Graham and Christine along with Taylor Fay as his younger brother Gary.

Playing Alan’s neighbours are Rourke Mooney and Gabby Best as Charlie and Angela along with Harry Peacock as Nigel. Guest stars include David Mumeni as Mr Chapman and Michael Socha as Adam.

The comedy series will be more than just a trip down memory lane, it’s a love letter to a time and a town where things weren’t always so inclusive. Told with warmth and wit, it follows Alan’s journey through puberty, adolescence, and finally self-discovery, all against the backdrop of Thatcher’s Britain.

As showcased in many of Alan’s stand-up shows, his experience as a gay teenager in the East Midlands is a veritable treasure trove with a rich comedic seam, whether it’s his sexual awakenings, his daily battle with bullies or navigating the highs and lows of Fourth division football. It’s about school and family, Kevin Keegan and George Michael, and figuring out who you are when your family are Match of the Day and you’re a bit Miss Marple.

Episode 5

It’s BCG day at Alan’s school and he decides to pull a sickie. With Christine otherwise disposed it’s up to a begrudging Graham to play nursemaid.
