Netflix’s hit legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer has dropped all episodes of its latest season for viewers to binge at home this weekend.

Based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels, the series follows defense attorney Mickey Haller (Manuel García-Rulfo) on the other side of the courtroom as the defendant in a murder case.

Adapted from Connelly’s novel The Law of Innocence, Mickey races to clear his name after being accused of killing a former client.

Last year, fans threatened to ‘revolt’ if the series was cancelled, which was originally a remake of the 2011 Matthew McConaughey film of the same name.

Drawing on his legal expertise and support network form over the years, a number of familiar faces from previous seasons return.

This includes Becki Newton as Lorna Crane, Jazz Raycole as Izzy Letts and Angus Sampson as Cisco.

In addition, Scream star Neve Campbell returns as Maggie McPherson, reprising her role as Mickey’s ex-wife and former prosecutor.

Taking to X following the release of all ten episodes of the show’s fourth season, viewers heaped praise on the Netflix series as @shvnique said: ‘The Lincoln Lawyer is one of the best shows Netflix has put out.’

@alentyler also declared that: ‘Lincoln Lawyer has to be one of the best legal series I’ve watched in recent times, it’s up there with Suits and Boston Legal.’

Despite the Super Bowl in America coming on Sunday, Salaman said: ‘Forget the Super Bowl, I’m locking into the Lincoln Lawyer season 4.’

Meanwhile, Santana said: ‘I need season 5 of the Lincoln Lawyer today. I binged the entire new season last night.’

Nina furiously added that ‘work is keeping me from watching The Lincoln Lawyer’, as @lizzymax411 said: ‘Glad The Lincoln Lawyer was renewed for seasons 5 cause can’t wait to see where this sister story line will take us.’

However, not all fans were as equally happy with the latest series, as Chris argued: ‘Lincoln lawyer s4 I’m sorry but this is possibly the weakest case the prosecution has come up with throughout all the seasons.’

There is good news, though, for those of who have already binged every episode of the latest season, after Netflix confirmed that the series has already been renewed for a fifth season.

Production is expected to begin shortly after the premiere of the latest season.

This comes after Netflix sparked backlash using AI to disguise case studies in a new Lucy Letby documentary.

The 90-minute feature examines the Lucy Letby case and shows unseen footage from Chester police of her arrest.

Letby was arrested in 2020, with the former neonatal nurse charged with seven counts of murder and 15 counts of attempted murder in relation to 17 babies between June 2015 and June 2016.

The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 is available to watch on Netflix.

Winter comfort food isn’t always the healthiest, but this recipe for panzanella – a Tuscan chopped salad traditionally made with tomatoes and chunks of stale bread – makes a gorgeous, healthy dinner packed with vegetables. It’s quick to cook and so easy to prep.

Both programmes are filmed in one of the most isolated parts of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where Amanda Owen, known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, has raised her family and worked the land for decades.

Where is Our Yorkshire Farm filmed?

Our Yorkshire Farm is filmed at Ravenseat Farm, located in Upper Swaledale, North Yorkshire, at the head of Whitsun Dale.

The hill farm covers around 2,000 acres of upland terrain and has been in the Owen family for generations. It operates primarily as a sheep farm and sits several miles from the nearest village.

The closest settlement is Keld, approximately three and a half miles away, a small hamlet with no shop and only a handful of buildings catering mainly to walkers.

Ravenseat previously welcomed visitors for cream teas and overnight stays, but public access was closed in 2022, and it now operates solely as a private family farm.

Where is Our Farm Next Door filmed?

The More4 series Our Farm Next Door is filmed nearby at Anty John’s, a historic farmhouse located close to Ravenseat in Swaledale.

The programme follows Amanda and Clive Owen as they renovate the long-derelict building, while continuing to run Ravenseat and care for their livestock with help from their nine children.

Series three of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids was filmed between spring and winter 2025 and documents the renovation entering its second year, with work shifting from making the building weatherproof to interior restoration.

How remote is the Owen family farm?

Ravenseat is widely regarded as one of the most remote farms featured on British television.

The surrounding villages are sparsely populated, with limited amenities and long distances between services.

The area is best known for walking routes, including the Coast-to-Coast Walk, which passes through nearby Keld.

Further east lies Muker, one of Swaledale’s larger villages, known for its traditional stone buildings and village pub.

Anyone visiting the area is advised to plan carefully, as shops, petrol stations and mobile signal can be limited in the upper Dales.

Why the location matters

The remote setting is central to both programmes, shaping daily life for the Owen family and presenting challenges ranging from extreme weather to long journeys for basic supplies.

Despite changes in family circumstances, Our Farm Next Door continues the themes that made Our Yorkshire Farm popular: rural resilience, family life and the realities of farming in one of England’s toughest landscapes.

Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids is currently on More4, with a fourth series already confirmed.

Labour and Liberal Democrat leaders at Darlington Borough Council have warned that the authority faces a “spiralling increase” in costs and demand for key services, including children and adult social care. 

A planned council tax increase of 4.99% is among the main proposals impacting residents. 

Changes to the government’s local authority funding formula means Darlington will receive a 14 per cent spending increase over the next four years. However, the council’s financial planning remains in a “fragile position”, with forecasted cost pressures of around £27 million over the same time period. 

Town Hall officials plan to make £13.5 million worth of cuts over the four years, including £3 million in 2026/27 through back office efficiencies and energy savings. 

But Matthew Snedker, local leader of the Green Party, lamented the lack of funding that the council needs to deliver vital services and “start rebuilding a country battered by cruel austerity”. 

He told a cabinet meeting: “This is an unfair budget for the people of Darlington. We are left to take the money out of people’s pockets. This is a regressive and unfair state of affairs for us. 

“It’s deeply sad that we cannot do what we need to do for the people of Darlington because the funding isn’t there. We need a fundamental rebalancing of the economy.”

The member for College ward also warned that the proposed council tax increase would outstrip the wages of many people living in Darlington. 

“I really hope that this Labour government steps up and starts delivering the funding that we need to serve the people of Darlington better,” he added. 

Steve Harker, council leader, said the authority has been paying the price after 14 years of a Conservative government. The council’s budget was reduced by £46 million between 2010 and 2019. 

He told councillors: “When we campaigned to win the 2023 elections, we said we would tackle the £7.5m annual overspend left by the Tories. This budget does just that. It brings to an end the need to raid our reserves to balance the books. We can see an end to the Tory era of massive overspending every single year.

“We committed to making savings and efficiencies across the council. We have done that over the last two years, and that work continues.”

The footage was shared by Lincolnshire Police after Skebas was found guilty of murdering nine-year-old Lilia in Boston

Disturbing footage captures the moment Deividas Skebas observed Lilia Valutyte playing with her hula hoop before launching his fatal attack.

The CCTV material released by Lincolnshire Police reveals Skebas, then aged 22, lingering at the end of the street whilst the nine year old played outside her mother’s embroidery business in Boston. Skebas, previously of Alcorn Green, Boston, is visible waiting at the top of the road until pedestrians pass before approaching Lilia at approximately 6.15pm on July 28, 2022.

A separate CCTV recording captures Skebas, dressed in a grey T-shirt and dark trousers, fleeing the scene shortly afterwards. Additional footage reveals Skebas wandering the vicinity nearly an hour prior to the assault, whilst he was also recorded purchasing the weapon used to stab Lilia at a Wilko shop two days beforehand, on July 26, 2022, reports Lincolnshire Live.

Two additional video recordings, believed to be from police body worn cameras, depict armed officers surrounding Skebas at a residence before detaining him on July 30, 2022. In the video recording, a voice is audible informing Skebas that “you are under arrest on suspicion of murder”, to which he responded “yeah”.

Skebas, now 26, had a documented history of mental health difficulties, and, following his detention, he was deemed unfit to stand trial.

He was held in a secure hospital, and, at a trial of fact in 2023, he was determined to have been responsible for Lilia’s killing.

Subsequently, in Spring 2025, he underwent further assessment and was declared fit to plead and participate in a trial. After a fortnight-long trial at Lincoln Crown Court, Skebas was convicted of murder on Thursday, February 5, with sentencing set to take place at a future date.

On Friday, Starmer said in a letter to the Intelligence and Security Committee that a “very significant volume of material” will likely need to be reviewed in relation to Lord Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador to the US but said the Government wanted to “ensure that Parliament’s instruction is met with the urgency and transparency it deserves”.

Debbie has been sentenced to time behind bars

Coronation Street star Sue Devaney has revealed the changes she’s had to make as she portrays Debbie Webster’s prison plight in the long-running show.

Fans have been desperate for the much-loved character not to face time behind bars, with her taking the blame for the crash which killed Weatherfield vicar, Billy Mayhew, last month.

As those who watch the ITV soap know, the incident took place after a drunk Carl Webster left Debbie and Ronnie Bailey’s wedding, which was taking place in Yorkshire, with Debbie in the passenger seat. Viewers saw tensions rising between Carl and Debbie in the car.

And just as the latter was about to tell him something Carl ended up losing control, ploughing into the existing wreckages that had already piled up between Becky, Lisa and Betsy Swain, Emmerdale’s Aaron Dingle and John Sugden, and the minibus, carrying a number of Debbie and Ronnie’s wedding guests, driven by Billy.

In a cruel twist, Carl pulled an unconscious Debbie from the passenger side into the driver’s seat to make it seem like she was behind the wheel. He later collapsed and was aided at the side of the road by trainee paramedic, Asha Alahan. Meanwhile, Billy perished the minibus burst into flames, which came after Theo Silverton seemingly stopped him from freeing himself, knowing he knew of his abuse towards partner Todd Grimshaw.

As he recovered after the tragic accident, Carl was quick to convince Debbie she was the one driving. But little did he know, Debbie knew the truth, and was just keeping up the lie to protect him as she’s his biological mother.

Earlier this week, Debbie was continuing to get her affairs in order as she prepared for a prison stint, while also trying to create peace in her family by staging an intervention for her brother, Kevin.

However, they were interrupted by a fuming Carl, who wanted to have it out with Debbie after discovering she had chosen Ryan to take charge of the Chariot Square Hotel while she’s gone. Later, as he visited her at the flat, Debbie admitted to Carl that she was frightened about going to prison, especially following her dementia diagnosis last year, and Carl appeared to show a glimmer of guilt.

Carl finally had a change of heart about Debbie taking the blame for him when a distressed Ronnie told him that Debbie had called him ‘Ray’ and expressed his concerns that her dementia would only get worse when she’s put behind bars. Carl vowed to put things right, and when Ronnie explained his confusing exchange with Carl, Debbie rushed to stop him from going to the police. As Carl admitted it was him driving, Debbie said she knew and eventually blurted out that he’s her son.

An emotional confrontation then ensued between the pair, in which Debbie explained she was 17 when she gave birth and that while her step-mother, Elaine, wanted her to have an abortion, their dad, Bill, agreed to bring Carl up as their own. But Carl admitted it wasn’t the dream childhood and that he now knew why Elaine never wanted him.

Debbie broke down in tears as Carl said that she only wanted to go to prison for him to ease her own guilt, branding her selfish and a liar and that he hopes she enjoys prison as he won’t be visiting her when she’s behind bars.

During Friday’s (February 6) Corrie, ahead of her appearance in court, Debbie was upset to find Carl’s key to her flat behind the bar at the Chariot Square Hotel. Not wanting to go to court without him there, she headed to the cafe to find him, where he only confirmed how much he hated her for what she had done.

Later, as she took the stand, the judge explained how he would have given her a four-year prison sentence. However, after taking into account her guilty plea and dementia diagnosis, Debbie was handed two years and eight months inside. There were emotional scenes before, in the cell, she began to remove her false eyelashes as the noise of her fellow prisoners began to intensify.

Seeming to lose her vision, she cried for someone to help her. Her family were then informed that Debbie had suffered yet another mini stroke, and had been rushed to receive medical attention.

Speaking about playing Debbie’s upcoming prison scenes, actress Sue Devaney confirmed the changes that have been made to her long-standing alter-ego. She said: “So, I go into the dressing room, and there’s not a lot of makeup. So, I just give myself some mascara, scruff my hair up a bit. I have a really cheap lipstick ’cause you can buy makeup in prison.

“But it’s not the expensive Chanel that Debbie has. It’s cheap. She’ll have a little cheap lipstick and she’ll have a little cheap bottle of perfume so I’ll make sure that I don’t put my perfume on when I’m in prison. And the nails are off. No nails.”

On how Debbie is, she continued: “Oh, she’s scared. She’s frightened. She’s so frightened. She’s never been anywhere like that. Everything’s going to be stripped from her. Debbie’s mask is going to be gone, isn’t it? The dementia is taking every last bit from her, but also the prison is gonna be taking everything from her. And it’s how she survives that.”

But playing a different side to Debbie is something the soap star is loving. She said: “It is fantastic.Just a bit of mascara, you know, nothing else. It’s interesting to play somebody that, the whole front, the makeup, the way that they look, the what they drive, who they marry, everything has to be on show. So when you strip all that back, it’s interesting to play Debbie when it’s all stripped back. Who is she?”

And she’s also relishing the different storylines being thrown her way. “I love it,” Sue said. “Just when you think, oh, right, okay, I’m playing this dementia story then Oh, I’m getting married with a dementia choir. Oh now I am in a crash in a crossover episode, and to top it all my brother is really my son and I’m in prison for a crime I didn’t commit! How fabulous!”

Playboy model and TV personality Mayra Dias Gomes has opened up about her health scare and her anxious wait to find out her diagnosis

A Playboy model and TV personality has revealed she has been living through a serious health scare in recent months and has a clear message for her followers. Brazilian-born Mayra Dias Gomes has candidly shared how she found a a 7cm lump in her breast that doctors feared could have been cancer.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror about her scary discovery and anxious wait for results, Mayra said: “What prompted me to get it checked was actually another woman sharing her diagnosis online.

“Because of medical backlogs, it took months to get clear answers, and that waiting period was the hardest part. The uncertainty leaves a lot of room for anxiety and catastrophic thinking.”

The stateside-based star revealed that trying to continue as normal in the public eye was challenging and admitted the situation had an affect on her mental health. “The uncertainty was difficult,” she said. “But I’ve always been very attentive to my mental health.

“I allowed myself to feel scared while staying grounded, and I found a sense of acceptance in knowing that whatever the outcome, I would find a way to move forward.”

Mayra, 38, admitted she didn’t expect to deal with such a health scare at her age, but insists the situation just reinforced that health concerns don’t follow timelines. “It reminded me how fragile certainty is,” she confessed.

“You can’t take your health for granted, and you never know how your life story will actually play out. It also reinforced the importance of acceptance and inner strength, and it deepened my gratitude for the people who showed up quietly and consistently.”

Thankfully for Mayra, the lump wasn’t cancerous. She explained how it had been caused by past breast reduction and fat injections. The benign issue has now been resolved immediately during an aspiration.

However, Mayra says that if sharing her scare “reminds even one person to listen to their body and get checked, then it mattered”.

And in a message to the public, she said: “Listen to your body and don’t delay getting checked. If something feels off, advocate for yourself. And if you’re waiting for answers, be gentle with yourself.”

Mayra recently took to the red carpet with FAB TV to interview stars at the latest Dracula premiere.

Samuel Henley had been sharing a takeaway and drinking with his mother before exploding into violence after he started antagonising her.

The 32-year-maintained that his mother hit him with a bottle before he launched his violent attack on her, Teesside Crown Court heard.

John Crawford, prosecuting, said the defendant was pushed away by his mother before violently attacking her.

He said: “He dragged her by her hair while on the floor and trying to get her hands out of the way of her face.

“She started shouting for help and the defendant started kicking her numerous times while she was on the floor.

“He has then placed two hands around her neck, strangling her. She described herself starting to lose her breath.”

Mr Crawford said a neighbour came to the property and the defendant released his grip on her, allowing her the opportunity to smash her way out of her home and escape.

Hanley, of Brusselton Court, Stockton, pleaded guilty to intentional strangulation and common assault on his mother on January 5.

Lee Goodchild, mitigating, said Hanley maintained that his mother hit him with a bottle, but accepted that was no excuse for his violent reaction.

“He was candid in the police interview,” he said. “He told them exactly what happened and said the argument was caused by the consumption of alcohol.”

Recorder Ayesha Smart sentenced Hanley to 20 months in custody for the sustained attack.

She said: “There has clearly been a history of a torrid relationship between you two – borne out of both of you using crack cocaine.

“There was some sort of verbal altercation. She obviously started things by grabbing something and striking you, but you went above and beyond by dragging her by her hair, you kicked her repeatedly and when she shouted help, you strangled her.”

Henley was also made subject to a three-year restraining order to protect his mother.
