Arrests have been made in connection with the death of Friends star Matthew Perry, who died of an overdose at his home in Los Angeles in October last year.

Friends star Lisa Kudrow has explained why she was fired from Frasier after being cast as a main character on the show.In 1993, a year before Kudrow was cast in Friends as Phoebe Buffay, Kudrow successfully won the role of playing Roz Doyle in Frasier – the Cheers spin-off starring Kelsey Grammer as therapist Frasier Crane.

Apple TV fans are praising the first two episodes of a classic film remake which stars a Friends icon.

Time Bandits series charts its own clever course through history.The original movie, written by Gilliam and Monty Python mate Michael Palin, and featuring Palin and John Cleese in supporting roles, served up an eccentric, ruefully sardonic take on myth and modern times.The titular bandits, having stolen God’s map of the universe, had decided to use the all-powerful tool to hopscotch through time, ransacking wealth from the likes of Napoleon, Robin Hood, and King Agamemnon.Along the way, the Bandits, portrayed by six talented men of short stature, crashed through a time portal into the present-day bedroom of 11-year-old history buff Kevin, who was whisked off on the adventure of his life.Not only a spirited, escapist fantasy aimed at kids, Gilliam’s movie was a visual marvel that took fearless turns into dark corners of greed, consumerism, loss, and abandonment. The film’s notoriously bleak ending boldly subverted the common fairy tale that as long as the kid hero makes it home safe from Oz, then all will be rainbows and sunshine.The ten-episode series dabbles in such darkness, but series creators Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi don’t let the show live there.This Time Bandits — following the same premise of hurtling through history searching for loot and treasure — leans much harder on the humor, and that’s where it shines.

Alex Ritman To a generation of Brits, Iain Morris may forever be known as half of the duo that created “The Inbetweeners,” the wildly rude sitcom about a group of mostly unpopular teenage boys that ran from 2008-2010 and was followed by two hugely successful films. But the multi-talented creative has been prolifically busy since then, reuniting some of the “The Inbetweeners” lead cast for BBC comedy series “White Gold,” creating another BBC comedy “First Team,” working on FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows,” helping write Taika Waititi’s soccer comedy “Next Goal Wins” and recently being tapped to direct Netflix rom-com feature “My Oxford Year.” For the last few years, he’s also been hard at work on “Time Bandits,” Apple TV+‘s small-screen reimagining of Terry Gilliam’s cult 1981 fantasy comedy about a young boy taken on an adventure through time with a band of thieves (mostly played by actors with dwarfism).

Alison Herman TV Critic If one were tasked with naming a modern successor to Monty Python, the crew of New Zealand comedians informally captained by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi would be a strong candidate. (As a bit, the Ministry of Silly Walks wouldn’t be out of place on the duo’s mockumentary-turned-FX-series “What We Do in the Shadows,” give or take a few puncture wounds.) Any goofy yet erudite group of writer-performers from the greater Commonwealth inherently bears the influence of the legendary British sketch troupe.

Time Bandits has been given a new lease of life by Apple TV+ but the adaptation has been generating headlines ahead of its release.
