A BBC drama critics said ‘was worth every minute of your time’ won’t be returning for a second season. Directed by Philip Barantini, the 2021 film Boiling Point followed one chaotic night in a high-end London restaurant and was shot in a single take. Praised as ‘gripping’ and ‘consistently captivating’ by critics, it was nominated for four Bafta Awards. After the success of the film, the standalone sequel series of the same name was then released in 2023. Set six months later, the series also featured much of the same cast and this time starred Vinette Robinson as Carly, head…

Joe Cole has warned Myles Lewis-Skelly and the rest of Arsenal’s squad that their ‘over-celebrating’ against Manchester City may come back to bite them in the future. The Gunners thumped champions City 5-1 at a rapturous Emirates to tighten their grip on second place and go nine points clear of Pep Guardiola’s side in the Premier League table. Thomas Partey, Lewis-Skelly, Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri all hit the target after Erling Haaland had cancelled out Martin Odegaard’s opener in what was a breathless second period in north London. The heavyweight contest proved a thrilling albeit bad-tempered affair, with players…

Tyrell Malacia has completed his loan move from Manchester United to PSV and says he is ‘happy to be here’ and ‘finally playing good football again.’ The 25-year-old has had an injury-hit time since arriving at Old Trafford from Feyenoord in 2022, making just 47 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils. The Dutchman missed the entirety of the 2023/24 season with a serious knee issue, and while he has returned to action this campaign, he is clearly out of Ruben Amorim’s plans. Diogo Dalot has been preferred at left wing-back, despite being out of position, and now Patrick…

Mikel Arteta has revealed that the rapid extent of Ethan Nwaneri’s progress has meant he isn’t even old enough to change in the Arsenal first team dressing room. The prodigious 17-year-old enhanced his burgeoning reputation with two more outstanding performances last week. Nwaneri marked the first Champions League start of his career with a superb goal in a 2-1 win over Girona seven days ago, before he delivered another eye-catching cameo off the bench in Sunday’s thrashing of Manchester City which he capped with another spectacular long-range strike. Arsenal have had high hopes for a player who became the youngest…

‘He is undoubtedly one of the best defenders in the history of football’ A current Premier League defender has been hailed as ‘one of the best in the history of football’ by former star Jose Fonte. Ex-Portugal centre-back Fonte spent seven years at Southampton, helping the Saints secure promotion from League One to the Premier League in the space of three seasons before the south coast side established themselves as a mainstay in the English top-flight. Fonte, now 41, also had spells at English clubs West Ham and Crystal Palace as well as European teams Benfica and Lille. It…

Arsenal have a huge job on their hands tonight as they take on Newcastle United in the second-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. A trip to Wembley to take on either Tottenham or Liverpool is in sight for both sides with Newcastle in control of the tie as we count down to kick-off. Mikel Arteta’s side suffered to a 2-0 defeat in the first leg meeting at the Emirates in early January but the form book makes for very different reading this week. After a superb run over Christmas and New Year, Eddie Howe’s side have been brought back down…

Top doctors say Letby did not kill any babies The Independent says child serial killer Lucy Letby did not murder seven babies at a hospital neonatal unit, a panel of experts has claimed, after a report found each infant had died from natural causes and poor medical care.

Labour MPs tell Starmer to get tougher on immigration The Guardian reports on calls from Labour MPs for the prime minister to get tougher on immigration.

Evidence doesn’t support murder of any babies The Daily Express reports that the “evidence doesn’t support murder of any babies,” and says the former nurse Lucy Letby has been given “hope” she’ll get out of prison.  Princess Kate is pictured on the front splash spending the day out on a school trip.

Baby killer … or victim? The Mirror’s front page calls the experts’ claims a “bombshell” and asks whether Lucy Letby is a “baby killer … or victim?”.  Since her guilty verdict, an online campaign has started questioning the fairness of the trial and ultimately the safety of her conviction. The speculation around Letby’s conviction has been condemned by the families of the victims, who labelled those spreading rumours online “hurtful and distasteful.”
