This week marks significant events in entertainment and nature as Sir David Attenborough celebrates his 99th birthday on Thursday, coinciding with the release of his latest landmark film, Ocean. The film aims to shed light on the importance of marine conservation, emphasizing Attenborough’s belief that the ocean is crucial for the planet’s health. As he muses, “With almost 100 years on this earth behind me, I’ve learned one important thing. The best place isn’t on the land at all—the best place is underwater.”
Ocean captures the awe-inspiring journey of marine life, connecting us with their experience, while illustrating the wide-ranging opportunities to restore them. Tracks from famous electronic duo Basement Jaxx drive much of the film’s spectacular soundtrack. They have penned four of the nine tracks and greatly amplified that surreal, fully sentient experience.
Love her or loathe her, Molly-Mae Hague is back on screen with the second part of her controversial TV show! Fans can expect “exclusive access” into her life, in addition to Attenborough’s thrilling film debut. The series captures her growth as an individual and parent on the new path she shares with partner Tommy Fury. Hague looks back on their connection and their life now, stating that they are “navigating the new relational territory like adults, like co-parents.”
So get ready commercial argy-barging and ghost-hunting reality television fans! Darren’s musical rom-com I Kissed a Boy returns to BBC Three at 10pm this Sunday. The first series was widely praised for being as inclusive as it was groundbreaking, which included a controversial portrayal of gay love. It brilliantly laid the groundwork for its spinoff series, I Kissed a Girl which premiered last summer. Layton Williams voices I Kissed a Boy, furthering the welcome expansion of LGBTQ+ love stories in film and television.
Danny Minogue will also be back in Masseria, this time as Cupid. Her long awaited return leaves the door open for More Info on the return of the Show… RETRO Show! In addition to her role on the show, Minogue has released a new mixtape titled Fancy That, described as accessible, hypnotic, and seductive alt-pop.
In the world of music, keep your eyes and ears on PinkPantheress. We deeply respect her decision to cancel all of her remaining tour dates and put her health first after speaking openly about her battle with mental health. She said, “I’ve reached a level of frustration where I’m just completely stuck. This announcement highlights the overwhelming pressures artists are under in the current cultural climate. Her self-care regimen includes plenty of movement and dancing to classic 2000s bangers like her faves, “Romeo” and “Good Luck.” Besides her unreleased material, these are the songs that keep building her audience.
This week, viewers will be greeted with an exhilarating confluence of wildlife documentaries and unscripted TV. We’re counting on these shows to celebrate those deeply personal journeys and cultural milestones. Sir David Attenborough’s contributions to environmental awareness continue to inspire, while Molly-Mae’s life as a young parent offers relatable content for many viewers.
