Q: I was delighted to see "Doc Martin" come back for another season. Will we have to wait as long for the next one?
Technically no, but that's not the good news it might sound like. In fact, there will be no waiting for an 11th season of "Doc Martin," because there won't be one.
The season that premiered in the fall on Acorn TV (and later on Vision in Canada), the show's 10th round, will in fact be its last.

Q: Who plays Diana on "Slow Horses"? She looks so familiar.

Q: Were the trolls in "Ernest Scared Stupid" done by Jim Henson?
No, but the Chiodo brothers would probably be flattered by your guess.
The villainous trolls who terrorize Briarville, Missouri, in "Ernest Scared Stupid" (1991) were designed by Chiodo Brothers Productions, a competing character-design company — as much as anyone can be said to "compete" with the legendary, pioneering Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
That said, you're likely familiar with the work of the Chiodos — Charles, Edward and Stephen — whether you know it or not.
