Jodie Whittaker pivots from ‘Doctor Who’ to ‘challenging’ prison drama ‘Time’: ‘Highlights a broken system’
Tamara Lawrance) and Kelsey (“The Last of Us” star Bella Ramsey) — serving time in a British prison for different offenses.Orla enters Carlingford Prison after stealing electricity due to financial hardship; Abi is serving life for killing her baby; and Kelsey is there on a drug-smuggling rap.As the series progresses, viewers learn more about the backstories of the three women, who cope with life behind bars by taking divergent paths.The opening scene sets the stage for what’s to come as the three women are transported to their incarcerated lives in Carlingford.“Orla is in a prison van with no phone, no ability to reach out to anyone and she’s a single parent of three children who’s thrown into a prison system where … the punishment doesn’t meet the crime,” Whittaker, 41, told The Post.“But there is nothing she can do, and that kind of lack of control and claustrophobia is terrifying, but also fascinating to play,” she said. “The cortisol level of Orla exists around a fight or flight mode the entire time, which means she makes good and bad decisions — but it’s like existing in a hurricane in a box.“What’s unique about playing someone like Orla is that she’s played out in real time,” Whittaker said.

Jack Black wants a ‘School of Rock’ sequel — but ‘White Lotus’ is getting in the way
Jack Black said he’s down for a “School of Rock” sequel — but that “The White Lotus” is standing in his way.That’s because Mike White, who wrote the original 2003 “School of Rock” movie, also created HBO’s breakout hit “The White Lotus” — and he’s working on Season 3 of that series right now.“You know Mike White wrote the the first one and he’s a genius,” Black told Variety. “And we’d have to have Mike White back in the saddle, but he’s real busy right now with ‘The White Lotus,’ the best show on TV.“I wish there’d be a ‘School of Rock 2 Electric Boogaloo,” Black joked, referring to “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo,” the 1984 sequel to the dance musical “Breakin’.”“I’m ready.”Season 3 of “The White Lotus” will take place in Thailand, where White is currently hunkered down in production on the Emmy-winning series.White wrote the screenplay for “School of Rock,” directed by Richard Linklater, in which Black played Dewey Finn, a guitarist who’s thrown out of his rock group No Vacancy — and then assembles a makeshift band of kid musicians while substitute-teaching at a prep school.The movie co-starred White, Sarah Silverman and Joan Cusack; child actors included future “iCarly” star Miranda Cosgrove.It was adapted into a hit Broadway musical from 2015 to 2019; kid’s network Nickelodeon also adapted “School of Rock” into a series that aired for three seasons from 2016 to 2018 and starred Tony Cavalero as Dewey Finn.In 2022, Black told Entertainment Tonight that the movie is the high point of his career.“My best memories are just that group of kids, and how funny and great they were,” the “Kung Fu Panda 4” actor said at the time.

‘Barbie Girl’ band Aqua leaves concert-goers stunned after lead singer performs crying in her pajamas: ‘Floundering’
Concert goers have described pop group Aqua’s Perth show as “awkward” and “horrendous” after a series of bizarre incidents left the crowd confused.Mix94.5 producer Shelby Brady recounted the doomed performance on Pete & Kymba for Breakfast on Friday morning, telling the hosts the show was “instantly bad” but got worse when lead singer Lene Nystrom left the stage and returned crying in her pajamas.The Euro-pop band is best known for their 1997 hit single Barbie Girl and kicked off their Australian tour in Perth at Metro City on Thursday evening.Brady said the show got off on the wrong foot before the band had even stepped on stage, with the crowd spotting an embarrassing error on a stage screen.“I knew they were off to a bad start when the screen behind them said ‘Hello Adelaide’,” she said.While she described the first song, Cartoon Heroes as a “vibe”, the show continued to go downhill when Nystrom disappeared from the stage, citing the departure was the result of a “sound issue.”“You could see that the main woman (Lene Nystrom) was taking her headpiece out throughout the song but it didn’t seem like a big issue,” she said“She walks off and she’s the lead singer so they have to continue without her.”Shelby said the remaining singers were “floundering” before they all left the stage for an hour, leaving hundreds of concertgoers confused.“It’s so awkward, nobody knows what’s happening,” she said.“They shut the bar so you couldn’t get drinks, there was nowhere to sit.“People left because there was no communication at all. It was just an empty stage with nobody there.But the show took a turn for the worse when the lead singer returned to the show visibly upset and donning her pajamas.“They come back on at 10 pm.
