After Stephen Graham teased fans with a recent update about a potential season two of Adolescence, his co-creator has added his thoughts to the topic.

Last month, after collecting the Golden Globe for his performance as father Eddie Miller in the Netflix drama, Stephen was asked about the chance of the show returning for a second series.

“I cannot answer that question because it’s somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind and Jack [Thorne, his co-creator]’s mind, and we’ll pull it out in three or four years,” he told reporters in the awards show’s press room.

Weeks later, during a recent appearance on The One Show, award-winning screenwriter Jack Thorne said there could likely be a second season of the Netflix drama, but fans might be in for a wait.

“There’s not going to be a second series that involves the Miller family,” he confirmed to presenters Alex Jones and Lauren Laverne.

“So, if we ever do anything else with the format, which we might do in years to come [it won’t involve the Millers]. But we’ve got nothing at the moment.”

He also admitted: “Stephen said there might be something at the back of our brains somewhere, there isn’t anything. I’ve got this brain and I know Stephen’s brain and there is nothing there at the moment, but give us time and there might be something else.”

Adolescence is the sixth project Stephen and Jack worked on together, and they are both keen that it won’t be the last.

“We love the one shot format, so if we were going to do something else using the one-shot format, that might be a sort of… at the moment, there’s nothing,” Jack told the BBC show.

It’s no surprise the writing duo keep getting asked about a second series.

Adolescence is one of Netflix’s highest rated and most-watched shows, making UK TV viewing history last year when it was watched by 6.45 million people in its first week, and was subsequently nominated for 13 Emmys, winning nine.

Not only did it make a star of its lead, Owen Cooper, who will next be seen in Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights as a young Heathcliff, but it also made Stephen and Jack two of the most in-demand creators in television.

Jack was appearing on the One Show couch to promote his new adaptation of Lord Of The Flies, which will air on BBC One on Sunday 8 February at 9pm.

All four episodes of Adolescence are streaming now on Netflix.

The news that Noel Gallagher is to receive a special award at this year’s Brits has left some music fans with questions.

On Wednesday night, the Brit Awards announced that during the 2026 ceremony, which is due to take place in Noel’s hometown of Manchester later this month, the Oasis singer will be picking up the Songwriter Of The Year Award, which has previously been given to the likes of Raye, Charli XCX and Ed Sheeran.

Now, there’s no denying that Oasis had an absolutely epic year in 2025, with their sold-out reunion tour leading to a chart resurgence that at one point meant three of the band’s albums were all back in the UK top five at the same time.

As the primary songwriter in Oasis, he also penned hits like Live Forever, Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova, and has gone on to enjoy success with his group Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

However, it still hasn’t escaped some people’s attention that Noel’s Songwriter Of The Year award comes at the end of a year in which he… well… hasn’t actually shared any new material…

That being said, others were still thrilled to hear about Noel’s latest accolade…

It’s also been pointed out that in 2013, Noel claimed he would not be attending the Brit Awards again unless he were to be recognised with an award for his songwriting.

Brit Awards committee chair Stacey Tang enthused: “For more than three decades, Noel has crafted songs that have become part of our collective story – bold, brilliant, and always recognisable.

“His songs have soundtracked memories for multiple generations and defined the spirit of British music globally. Honouring Noel as Songwriter Of The Year celebrates a remarkable body of work and a creative force that continues to connect and inspire artists and fans worldwide.”

Meanwhile, Mark Ronson is also set to receive the Outstanding Contribution prize at the upcoming Brits, where Jacob Alon will be awarded the Critics’ Choice title.

When my son was born profoundly deaf, I suddenly understood how isolating it can feel when the world doesn’t reflect your experience.

As a parent, I wanted him to see that his hearing loss didn’t define him, but I didn’t know where to start. I’d grown up as a child of deaf parents, but television never showed families like mine.

We were invisible. And I feared my son would feel the same.

That’s why the new Peppa Pig storyline, in which George (Peppa’s younger brother) is revealed to be deaf, feels so powerful.

It’s the first time many children, and their parents, will see a character like George navigating hearing loss in a mainstream children’s show.

It’s not just entertainment; it’s representation that can reassure children that they belong, and that differences are normal.

Watching George go for a hearing test and start using a hearing aid is the kind of story I wish I’d had when my son was little.

The storyline makes it clear that hearing technology can help, but it doesn’t fully restore typical hearing, whilst also giving parents the language to start conversations and explain hearing loss in ways that are relatable and reassuring.

For parents who are just discovering their child may have hearing loss, it can feel overwhelming. You may notice signs like delayed speech, talking too loudly or too softly, difficulty responding to sounds, or watching closely what others are doing before doing it themselves.

My advice to parents is to trust your instincts. If something feels off, it’s always worth speaking to your GP. You can also contact us at the National Deaf Children’s Society for one-to-one advice and guidance, as well as local support in the heart of your community. Early support can make a huge difference in a child’s development, confidence and communication skills.

Storylines like George’s also make hearing technology visible. Many children wear hearing aids or other devices, and yet these are rarely seen in everyday media.

Seeing George explore the world with a hearing aid – splashing in puddles, going to the park, playing with Peppa – reinforces that deaf children can fully enjoy childhood experiences. Representation like this is not just comforting, it is empowering.

Of course, no single story can capture every experience, but authenticity matters. These new episodes were developed with guidance from our team at the National Deaf Children’s Society, and they reflect the realities of deaf children’s lives, from navigating appointments to adjusting to new sounds. That kind of insight makes the representation credible, relatable, and ultimately supportive for families.

For me, it’s deeply personal. As a parent, I want my son to grow up seeing himself reflected in the world around him, feeling confident that his deafness doesn’t set limits on what he can do. And as a child myself of deaf parents, I know that seeing stories like this could have helped my parents feel more visible when they were raising me.

Peppa Pig may be a cartoon, but for deaf children and their families, it sends a real-world message: you are seen, you are valued, and your experiences matter.

And for parents, it is a reminder that seeking support, trusting your instincts, and sharing stories with your children can help them feel safe, confident, and understood.

George Crockford is CEO at The National Deaf Children’s Society, which supports deaf children with any level of hearing loss, offering expert information, practical guidance and one-to-one support for families, as well as local support in communities across the UK.

The new Peppa Pig episodes will air on Milkshake from 9th March. For more information and to explore resources for deaf children and families, visit www.ndcs.org.uk/georgepig.

Greenland’s prime minister has dismissed Donald Trump’s claims that he and Nato had discussed a deal over the Arctic island’s sovereignty.

The US president backed down over his demands to “control” the semi-autonomous Danish territory two weeks ago, claiming a “framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland” was on the table.

But Jens-Frederik Nielsen poured cold water on his Nato remarks last night.

Speaking to Piers Morgan Uncensored, he said: “It’s not my understanding that they’ve discussed a deal.”

However, he added: “We do agree on, we need to do more in a Nato frame in terms of security.

“They will talk about something that maybe could be a deal in some way but we have also said and emphasised we have some really important red lines from our side.”

Details about any Nato arrangement over the island remain unclear, although some reports claim Denmark could cede sovereignty over small parts of Greenland to allow America to build military bases.

Yet Nielsen said: “We have a clear red line, in terms of our borders, our integrity as a country, if somebody wants to push on those we can say that’s a clear red line for us. We are not giving an inch. We will never cede any sovereignty.”

Trump previously suggested paying the islanders or even using US military force to invade the territory last month.

He insisted the island was essential to America’s security amid growing threats from China and Russia within the Arctic Circle.

But his aggression sparked major backlash among Nato allies and European leaders – including British prime minister Keir Starmer – made it clear the territory’s future was up to Greenland and Denmark alone.

Trump furiously threatened to slap 10% import tariffs on the countries which did not allow the US to take over Greenland up until he struck his “framework of a future deal” with Nato chief Mark Rutte.

Nielsen rejected the idea of taking any payment from the US too, saying: “Our right to self-determination is not something we would want to gamble on. I think it’s outrageous if you think you can buy the Greenlandic people.”

The PM also criticised the White House after it circulated a meme of Trump holding the hand of a penguin through a snowy landscape, implied to be Greenland.

Nielsen said he thought they should stop promoting such images, adding: “We don’t have one single penguin in Greenland! I think it shows a lack of knowledge about Greenland, about Greenlandic people and the Greenlandic society… I think it’s unfortunate. When you keep mocking my people… I think it’s insulting.”

The comedians forming the cast of the new British version of Saturday Night Live have been unveiled.

Just under a year ago, it was announced that SNL – which has been a staple of US screens for the last 50 years – would be getting its own British iteration for the first time in 2026.

As is the case with the American series, each week, the 11 cast members – made up of up-and-coming faces, some of whom you might recognise from comedy, acting or their social media pages – will be appearing on the live variety show alongside a different celebrity guest host.

The full cast list – who’ll be delivering the new tagline “live from London, it’s Saturday night” each week – is as follows:

• Al Nash
• Ania Magliano
• Annabel Marlow
• Ayoade Bamgboye
• Celeste Dring
• Emma Sidi
• George Fouracres
• Hammed Animashaun
• Jack Shep
• Larry Dean
• Paddy Young

Lead producer James Longman enthused: “The UK is absolutely packed with incredible comedy talent right now and this cast represents the freshest voices we have, they’re bold, exciting and of course, incredibly funny.

“The chemistry between them is something special and we can’t wait to share this funny group of people with the world.”

Meanwhile, more information on the show’s writing team will be announced in due course.

Saturday Night Live UK will film in London and air live on Sky, as well as being made available to stream on Now.

The UK version will feature the show’s staple topical monologue, a variety of comedy sketches, musical performances and a British twist on the popular Weekend Update satirical news segment, running for six weeks beginning on Saturday 21 March.

More information on upcoming guest hosts and musical guests will be announced closer to SNL UK’s launch next month.

Last week, the US version of SNL aired its milestone 1000th episode with guest host Alexander Skarsgård and musical performer Cardi B.

Donald Trump has claimed that at least one of his lawsuits against the US government was “essentially” over ― and he won.

NBC’s Tom Llamas asked the president about the $10 billion lawsuit against the Inland Revenue Service and Treasury Department that he filed last week.

“You can’t leak documents. And any money that I win, I’ll give it to charity, 100% to charities, charities that will be approved by government or whatever,” Trump said.

Trump filed the suit because a former IRS contractor leaked his tax returns to The New York Times and ProPublica during his first term, violating IRS confidentiality rules. Those returns showed that Trump, a billionaire with a massive real estate portfolio and other ventures, paid little to no federal income tax in a number of years.

Trump also spoke about another lawsuit he filed demanding $230 million from taxpayers for, among other things, the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home in 2022, where agents found classified documents.

“Essentially, the lawsuit’s been won,” Trump told Llamas. “I guess I won a lot of money.”

It’s not clear which lawsuit, specifically, he was referring to. However, both of them were against executive branch agencies, which he leads ― and he’s already said that means he can “work out a settlement with myself.”

Trump told Llamas that he would give the money he “won” in his lawsuit to charities such as the American Cancer Society, but the president’s critics don’t find that promise to be reassuring, given his history with nonprofits.

In 2018, the Trump Foundation shut down under judicial supervision amid allegations of self-dealing. He was later ordered to pay $2 million to settle a civil lawsuit brought by the state of New York against the charity.

Former New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood said the charity had engaged in a “shocking pattern” of “repeated and willful self-dealing.” One example: buying a $10,000 portrait of Trump to hang at one of his golf courses.

The president’s critics responded on X:
