Adventuring with Whole Foods

F R O M T H E C R E A T O R S O F alive M A G A Z I N E

Food, at its core, is beautifully simple. Good quality, whole ingredients can be transformed into something wild and magical when flavours collide. It awakens the senses, transports us through space and time, and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. It taps into our deepest emotions and reminds us of who we are and how we love.

3 0 0 + PA G E S I H A R D C O V E R I L A R G E F O R M AT 120 STUNNING WHOLE FOOD RECIPES

Choosing whole foods doesn’t mean going without. It means leaning in and getting curious. It means trading the processed and predictable for naturally delicious and playful. A chance to explore colour, texture, and flavour at their peak, alive with the taste of season and story. A cut of meat you’ve never tried, a fruit rind you thought was trash, or a homemade sauce so good, it becomes your new signature. Cooking this way invites play and discovery, and it keeps your mind wildly aware and your connection to the natural world beautifully intact.

icky Gervais occupies a somewhat unique space in showbiz. As creator/star of the original The Office, along with follow-ups Extras, Derek and After Life, it’s his scathingly funny scorched-earth performances hosting the Golden Globes that have generated a seemingly endless stream of headlines. These days, he’s focusing on standup comedy, to amazing success; his 2023 Armageddon tour raked in US$32 million, while a show at the Hollywood Bowl broke a world record for the highest-grossing single standup show ever — and viewership of the Netflix special to emerge from that tour hit No. 1. His latest special debuts this week, Mortality, touching on themes he explored in After Life, in which he played a man struggling with grief after the death of his wife. “Gervais takes on his own mortality in a brutally honest and darkly funny standup special about his life, death and the state of the world,” reads the Netflix logline. “I think Mortality is my most honest and confessional show so far and also my favourite tour,” Gervais said in a statement. “I still

can’t believe what a privilege it is to fly around the world making people laugh.” Gervais has become synonymous with controversy, and it’s a safe bet Mortality will continue that trend. However, in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, he insisted he’s never deliberately set out to offend. “It’s not me sitting in the room going, ‘What’s the most offensive thing I could say to get the BBC burned down?’ There’s always a point to it,” he explained. “It’s like I take them by the hand through a scary forest but it’s OK because they always laugh. If I were going out there and saying things that were really offensive, and no one was laughing, well, that would be odd. That’s what politicians do. Politicians say awful things and they mean it, and no one laughs. Comedians say things they don’t mean, everyone laughs and they get the same treatment.” BRENT FURDYK EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

This year’s headliners include bell-bottomed Lainey Wilson, “Dirt Road Anthem” singer Jason Aldean and

Nashville’s newest sweetheart Bailey Zimmerman, who parlayed her social media presence into country music stardom with No. 1 singles “Rock and a Hard Place” and “Fall in Love.” According to the network’s press release, the party won’t end there, with CeCe Winans and the Fisk Jubilee Singers also taking to the stage before the iconic Music Note drop rings in the new year.

k e e W V T Ask NEW-LOOK ROOKIE? N.V., Coquitlam Rest assured, ABC is just saving its hit cop drama for winter. The show will premiere season eight on Tuesday, January 6. What’s more, the network is looking to expand its Rookie-verse with a spinoff titled The Rookie: North. Set in Washington State, the series, which is currently at the pilot phase, casts All Her Fault and Insecure alum Jay Ellis as Alex Holland, a guy who “believed his mid-life wasn’t worthy of a crisis. But after a violent home invasion ignites a dormant purpose, Alex battles a lifetime of failed commitments by joining the Pierce County Police Department as its oldest rookie.” Penned by original series creator Alexi Hawley, the show will be in contention for a schedule slot in fall 2026.

WHAT’S UP, DOCS?

Still a big fan of Grey’s Anatomy, but it feels like all my faves are gone! Hopefully maybe we can expect a few cameos at some point? Sandra Oh, perhaps? A.J., Dawson Creek

No dice on that latter front, we’re afraid. Since leaving the long-running hospital drama in May of 2014, Canadian treasure Sandra Oh has stated on multiple occasions she has no interest in returning to the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial, feeling that 10 career-launching seasons as Dr. Cristina Yang is enough. But it’s not because she bears the show or character any ill will. “No,” Oh told the Los Angeles Times in 2021 when asked about the prospect of slipping back into those scrubs. “I love it, though, and this is also why I really appreciate the show . . . that I still get asked this.” “It’s very rare, I would say, to be able to see in such a way the impact of a character,” she continued. “In some ways, you do your work as a bubble and you let

it go. I left that show, my God, seven years ago almost [at the time of the interview]. So in my mind, it’s gone. But for a lot of people, it’s still very much alive. And while I understand and I love it, I have moved on.” Luckily for nostalgic fans, other veterans of the ever-changing ensemble have been more than willing to return for an episode or two over the years. That includes Kate Walsh, whose Dr. Addison Montgomery is primed for a return in this current 22nd season — on Thursday, January 29. No details about her storyline have been released, other than its title: “Strip That Down.” Given that Walsh was popular enough to inspire the six-season spinoff Private Practice (20072013), it should come as welcome news to fans. Her last guest spot with the show came in season 19, and as she mused on The Kelly Clarkson Show at that time: “It’s incredible to be back. But the younger set of actors who are the new set of interns, they grew up watching the show. You’re like, ‘Oh, hi!’ . . . It’s funny to be the elder statesman of the show.”

THE OLD S-WITCHER-OO?

Just wondering why they recast The Witcher? The first guy was pretty great. Nothing against the new guy, but the change is kind of distracting! E.K., North Vancouver

Yes, when Netflix’s hit fantasy saga returned for season four this past October, the show’s protagonist — silver-haired monster hunter Geralt of Rivia — looked a little different than fans remembered. That’s because leading man Henry Cavill asked out of the show, prompting producers to replace him with Hunger Games alum Liam Hemsworth for this fourth season, as well as a fifth and final one next year. Whispers of “creative differences” inevitably swirled, but by all accounts it was an amicable split. As creator Lauren Hissrich told Entertainment Weekly in September: “He had plans for other roles that he really wanted to commit himself to. And for us, you don’t want to hold someone and force them to be doing something that they don’t want to do. I think that’s why it felt like a really symbiotic decision.” At the time of Cavill’s decision, rumours abounded that one of the parts he had his eye on was a return to the big screen, to his signature role as the Man of Steel. Whether or not that’s the case, after a leadership shakeup atop Warner Bros.’ DC Extended Universe, the studio opted to reboot the Superman brand with a new blockbuster starring David Corenswet this past summer.

Q A

While looking for a good New Year’s Eve film for the holiday, my friend said Ocean’s Eleven is a great choice. I downloaded it for streaming, and despite finding George Clooney very charming, saw no reference at all to New Year’s. Q.A., via email

You are quite right about there being no New Year’s cheer in Clooney’s 2001 heist flick. To get the spirit of the season, you’ll have to watch the original version from 1960 (titled Ocean’s 11), starring the “Rat Pack” — Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop and Dean Martin — in one of their most iconic screen performances. In the remake, Clooney’s character, Danny Ocean, is a con man looking to rob a casino and steal his ex’s heart. In the original, Danny is played by Sinatra, and he and some war buddies decide to clean out Sin City on a chaotic New Year’s Eve, robbing five casinos at once. Their idea is to use explosives to create a power failure, plunging the whole Strip into darkness. As the backup generators kick in, the teller cages all open up, leaving tens of thousands of dollars for the taking. Appearances by other celebs such as Red Skelton fleshed out the rather slim script, and a surprise ending changed everything. Alas, despite its star power, the movie was not well-received by critics and its box office was modest. Those shortcomings were mended in the remake which, with the likes of Clooney, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt, ended up as the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2001. Listen to Rick Forchuk on select weekday afternoons on CKNW Radio on both The Jas Johal Show and The Jill Bennett Show.

HARLAN COBEN’S RUN AWAY Thursday, Netfli

e’s one of the most adapted authors of the past decade, with multiple series across multiple streamers. Now, Harlan Coben’s latest potboiler comes to Netflix. Like many of the American novelist’s America-set series, Run Away changes the locale to the U.K. Returning for his third go-round in a Coben ensemble is James Nesbitt. After previously riveting us in 2022’s Stay Close and 2025’s Missing You, here the Northern Irish actor plays Simon Greene, a man whose idyllic life unravelled when his eldest daughter (Ellie de

Lange) — spiralling in substance abuse — ran away. When he finds her strung out on a park bench, it seems as though Simon may just have a second chance to piece his shattered family back together. But his efforts to bring her home are interrupted by the girl’s unexpected companion, which leads to an act of “shocking violence” and sends the troubled teen into the wind all over again. Setting out to track her down, Simon is pulled into “a dangerous underworld, revealing deep secrets that could tear his family apart forever.”

History, Misery & Hope Michael Greyeyes stars in this poignant film about healing the wounds of the Sixties Scoop MEADOWLARKS

In Select Theatres Now

What was the process like of trying to find a way into something so large and profound and unfathomable as the Sixties Scoop — this generation of Indigenous children taken from their families by the government? How do you put a face on something that left a scar on an entire people? I think it’s a good question, because Indigenous people have a really deep relationship with history. We grew up with our knowledge and our relationship to the Sixties Scoop, and all that that means. Personally, when I walk around, I carry the history with me — but I don’t feel like it’s luggage. It’s just a part of who I am. It’s just a part of the relationship I have with people around me. So, I don’t live in an angry state. Because that’s this country’s collective history. I’m here to try and tell stories, make the world around me better for my children. What I really appreciate about

ELOR A BR ADEN/MONGREL MEDIA

Meadowlarks is that it was written from a place of hope, that this family is coming together because of a really sad history — but they’re not sad. They have full lives. They’re surrounded by people that love them. And so, when it was time to play, when it was time to actually be on set and work with each other, there was a beautiful kind of chemistry about people who were not sad, but hopeful about building something together. I think that’s the heart of the story. It’s not a story that’s based in brokenness. It’s based in resilience and love. I think that’s an important part of how we tell stories.

You do all kinds of films and TV shows in all different genres, on all different scales. With something like this, where it’s so small and intimate, and it’s just you and three other actors connecting, do you say to yourself, “This is why I got into acting?” Yeah, very much so. It felt like theatre, where the actor’s at the centre of the work — and that’s different than

bigger projects where I’m a cog. I have a role and I’m telling this kind of story, but it’s not really about the specificities or the fragility or the tenuousness of the inter-character relationships.

Q A

You play a middle-aged man who is reunited with the sisters he was torn from as a kid. That’s a unique headspace to crawl into . . . Anthony’s a beautiful character for me to play. I’ve never played anyone like him before. He was in a strained place in his life because he hadn’t really developed emotionally. He was a grown man with a lot of boy-like ideas or frameworks. He couldn’t really feel fully, and during the process of that weekend his “masculinity” — all these kinds of frameworks that he had — broke away because of these sisters. And by the end of the movie, he was in a new place emotionally. For me, that was exciting. I think that’s what I do pretty well as an actor. And to have that opportunity in this film, with this director [Tasha Hubbard], was extraordinary. TV WEEK 11

show that is simultaneously a celebration and a skewering of the titular locale, It’s Florida, Man. reaches the end of its second season, dramatically re-enacting unbelievably true stories that could really only have taken place in the Sunshine State. Thus far, those stories have included a fella who set out to steal a casino boat as revenge on the authorities for taking away his dog; a hard-partying Pensacola man who wound up sans clothing in a pizza joint; an aspiring moonshiner who got in over their head in the backwoods; and a valiant adventurer who forged into the Everglades in search of the Bigfoot-esque “Skunk

Ape” whispered of in Floridian legend. This week, we close the book with the saga of a Jacksonville gal who travels to Orlando to meet up in-person with her “online goth prince,” only to find her life on the line after a “chilling mishap.” (A potential clue to the nature of that mishap: the episode’s title is “Crushed.”) As usual, creators have attracted some noteworthy guest stars to dramatize the story in between the eyewitness accounts. That includes such funny folks as Joel Kim Booster, Frankie Quiñones, Ping Wu, Taika Waititi, Rita Ora and the comedian known as Holmes. Tall tales such as these have, of course, been circulated online before via the popular “Florida Man” meme, but for producer Jeff Tomsic, it was important that It’s Florida, Man. be more love letter than savage takedown. As he told regional outlet FSView in advance of season two: “I wanted to see people that you would normally never see on television who were divergent thinkers. I really wanted people to look at the show and be like ‘That’s insane,’ and then at the end of the show be like ‘Maybe I’m not living my life right.’”

Alas, there’s plenty of emotional baggage in tow.

Each have their charms, but the gold standard remains ABC’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Tone-setter for that appeal was Dick Clark, the man who hosted this seasonal spectacular for decades — and whose impact was so profound, his name remains in the title even after his death. Luckily, his amiable spirit lives on in Ryan Seacrest, arguably the closest thing we have to a modern-day Dick Clark.

This new medical drama returns ER doc Noah Wyle to the emergency room. He stars as Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, attending physician in the emergency room at the Pittsburgh Medical Centre, with the first season spanning one 15-hour shift in the ER. “This is a totally different acting exercise,” Wyle told TV Week of how his new medical drama differs from the earlier one. “This is building a pressure cooker hour by hour, degree by degree, ingredient by ingredient, playing with levels of fatigue and an ability to compartmentalize things that need to be compartmentalized.” The Pitt is available to stream on Crave

of what the general public is watching on television, in terms of network, cable and streaming offerings. But what are the best shows of the past 12 months when it comes to critical acclaim? That’s a question answered by the Television Critics Association (TCA), a group of approximately 250 television critics throughout North America.

THE STUDIO Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg delivered a hilarious love letter to Hollywood, with Rogen starring as the new head of a movie studio who’s forced to juggle art and commerce. “He’s as passionate about making films as any human could be,” Goldberg told TV Week. “He loves what he does, but he at times is forced to ruin the very thing he loves and break the hearts of his heroes. Tragedy often makes great comedy and he's in this fortunate yet tragic scenario where his greatest dream come true is also his worst nightmare.” The Studio is available to stream on Apple TV

with an accelerated season that hit all the right notes, completing his conversion from apathetic scoundrel to heroic rebel leader who risks everything to take down a totalitarian regime. Both seasons of Andor can be streamed on Disney+

ALIEN: EARTH Set within the world of the Alien franchise, series creator Noah Hawley (Fargo) envisioned a chilling future in which corporations run the world, resulting in a spaceship full of monsters crash-landing on Earth. “An Alien movie is a two-hour survival story but, on a television show, you have to invest in a lot of characters who don't die, and explore these characters and themes,” Hawley told TV Week. “The challenge was, ‘Let's take the monsters out of it for a minute and think about the show. Where's the drama that we're investing in week to week?’ I'm not worried about the monsters. When we put the monsters in, that's the money-back guarantee.” Alien: Earth is available to stream on Disney+

TASK Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby returned with another masterful crime drama, about an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) in a cat-and-mouse chase with the thief responsible for a series of home invasions (Tom Pelphrey). “What I hope separates the show is the level of care we give to all the characters, not just the cops, but also the criminals and the bad guys,” Ingelsby told TV Week. “It's a drama about lives under

pressure, people who are backed into a corner who don't have choices. You don't have to agree with all the decisions that are being made on screen, but I hope you can understand why they're being made.” Task is available to stream on Crave

THE LOWDOWN This dark noir dramedy from Sterlin Harjo (Reservation Dogs) follows muckraking “citizen journalist” Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke), who uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that places him in the crosshairs of a cutthroat, powerful and obscenely wealthy family. The Lowdown is available to stream on Disney+

PLURIBUS Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan unveiled his latest triumph, a sci-fi dramedy in which everyone in the world save for a handful of disparate people — including a bitter romance novelist played by Saul’s Rhea Seehorn — has succumbed to a virus that has placed everyone else in a relentlessly cheery hive mind. “I did not see what was coming. But it never feels like shock for shock's sake,” Seehorn told TV Week of the series’ endlessly entertaining plot twists. “It is just that Vince's assumption of the audience's intelligence is so present all the time that you don't always understand, you just feel like he's helming the ship in a way that you want to go with.” Pluribus is available to stream on Apple TV

SPY GAMES

he second season of the Netflix spy drama Black Doves is already in production in and around London, with Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire reprising their roles. Now comes word that a few more names have been added to the cast for the second season. The first season was set in London, and followed Helen Webb (Knightley), a dedicated wife and mother who also happens to be a professional spy. For 10 years, she’s been passing on her politician husband’s (Andrew Buchan) secrets to the shadowy organization she works for, known as Black Doves. When her secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is assassinated, however, spymaster Mrs. Reed (Lancashire) calls in Helen’s old friend, high-end triggerman Sam (Whishaw), to keep her safe. Things are about to get even trickier in the upcoming season, as Helen continues to betray her nation’s secrets — even as her husband, Wallace, is preparing to become prime minister. Meanwhile, Mrs. Reed is ensnared in a plot to undermine her position. Canadian actress Neve Campbell, best known from the Scream movie franchise, is among the new additions to the cast. She’ll be joined by Ambika Mod, Babou Ceesay, Sam Riley, Sylvia Hoeks, Goran Kostic and Samuel Barnett. “I couldn’t be more excited to delve back into the world of our murderous little spy family,” Black Doves creator, writer and executive producer Joe Barton said in a statement. “To

have so many of our amazing cast returning and also being able to add some of my absolute favourite actors into the mix is such a great joy. Downing Street will never be the same again.”

The second season is, according to the logline, “set 10 years after the events of the first season and continues the historically inspired saga of these two men from different worlds whose fates are inextricably entwined” — the two men being Lord Yoshii Toranaga, played by Hiroyuki Sanada and English sailor John Blackthorne, played by Cosmo Jarvis. Other returning cast members include Fumi Nikaido as Lady Ochiba; Shin’nosuke Abe as Buntaro; Hiroto Kanai as Kashigi Omi; Yoriko Doguchi as Kiri no Kata; Tommy Bastow as Father Alvito; Yuko Miyamoto as Gin; Eita Okuno as Saeki Nobutatsu; and Yuka Kouri as Kiku.

Viewer Tip Regarding Promotional Ads on TV TV Stations regularly promote their shows on their channel, and will refer to show times in their specific time zone. For example, a station that is located in the east may only promote their program in eastern time. Also, sometimes U.S. Stations will promote programs on their affiliate stations that are not available in Canada. These types of promo ads may conflict with the listings in TV Week because we list programs in our Pacific Time Zone on stations available only in our market area. Therefore, please follow the listings in TV Week for correct listings information. Thank You – The TV Week team.

lthough she hails from Toronto, it wasn’t until recently that Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha found herself spending more time on home turf. “I’ve had the realization that Toronto’s not that far away,” says the New York transplant, who, thanks to the revival of Project Runway Canada, hopes to be returning to Canada more often. Accepting the gig as host, judge and executive producer of the reality competition show was an easy “Yes” for the model, whose last long-term TV commitment was The Face in 2013. “I’ve been on TV as a judge-slash-host for 13 years, but the last time I was on TV it was intense and I really thought if I ever do this again, it has to be something very important and special, and something that really makes sense to the Coco brand,” she says. “When I got the phone call saying, ‘Would you like to be the host of Project Runaway Canada,’ I was like, ‘This makes total sense.’ ” We recently caught up with Rocha about why this is the right time to relaunch the television franchise in Canada, the current state of the Canadian fashion industry, and how you can take a person out of Canada, but you can’t take the Canadian out of them.

What’s unique about the Canadian fashion industry? I think the uniqueness is that it’s like a hidden gem. When you ask international press, “What fashion industry are you excited for?” you’re not hearing people say, “Canada — they’ve got this secret sauce.” They’ll say that about music in Canada. They will say that about certain actors and performers. But when you watch this show, I’m astonished by what they create. It blew my mind, where I was like, “This isn’t home economics class.” These are professional designers. I think that it’s going to be like, “Wait a second, let’s pay attention to the Canadian fashion industry.”

“I think a lot of people in fashion, myself included, felt that they couldn’t really make it here. I needed to go off o another part of the world [to find success]. I feel like the narrative doesn’t need to be like that for this next generation. It doesn’t need to keep repeating itself. So, this was a perfect project to be like, ‘Hey, look, there’s beautiful, world-class talent here.’ ”

You did a guest stint the last time Project Runway Canada was on television in 2009. What do you remember from that experience? Well, funny enough, that’s where I met Iman for the first time. She was the host. And, oh my, I love Iman so much. She’s one of the best big sisters you could possibly have in this industry. But it all comes back to Project Runway Canada, when I had my first experiences with her. And I just remember thinking, “This is fantastic.” But it went away and it was crazy how long it went away for. When they were like, “We’ve got to do this again,” it made total sense to have an entirely Canadian team. I don’t know if other countries are rooting for their local talent like that, but this was a beautiful way of saying, “Look, we have talent here. Let us showcase that.” What do you think it is about this franchise that makes it so successful? I think it’s a curiosity of the fashion industry, and this is the one show where you get to come in and see different points of views — the designer’s point of view, the talent and the judges’ point of view. Before social media, there was no place to really get any of this information unless you were obsessed with fashion. You had TV, and that’s why for so long people would tune in and pay attention. But it’s also timeless in that there’s

What was it about Project Runway Canada that made it an easy “Yes” for you? It’s not like it was far-fetched. (Laughs) I am a model who’s been doing this for 20-some years, who’s worked with the best designers in the world and has experience and point of view. Those things just made total sense. But at the same time, we’re talking about the time and space we live in right now. Canada is so Canadian, wanting to really make their stand, and this is another space where they can represent. I think a lot of people in fashion, myself included, felt that they couldn’t really make it here. I needed to go off to another part of the world [to find success]. I feel like the narrative doesn’t need to be like that for this next generation. It doesn’t need to keep repeating itself. So, this was a perfect project to be like, “Hey, look, there’s beautiful, world-class talent here.”

always going to be new opinions of fashion and new faces of fashion. So, it’s not something that’s just like, “Oh, that’s been done before,” it will always be evolving. And what I think is so important for people to see, when they’re potentially thinking that fashion is very exclusive, are contestants that viewers can be like, “Wow, she kind of looks like me,” or “She kind of acts like me.” You never know what this potentially can do for someone in the future.

What surprised you about this season’s designers? What I was starting to notice was that they were very good under crazy stress, and when we gave them more days to work on something or if we let them have a very broad decision on what they could do, it seemed almost like it was too much. They seemed to do so well when it was like, “You got this much, it’s this budget, and you got this material.” They were like, “Oh, I’ve got to prove myself.” So that was fascinating. But girl, I couldn’t do in one day the stuff that they were doing. Under pressure, some of them are great, and some of them not so great, but that is our industry — to be able to create something and believe in it. Because you’re going to hear a judge say, “I don’t know if I believe in that.” And you still have to stand by it and say, “No, I do believe in what I created.”

“When you watch this show, I’m astonished by what they create. It blew my mind . . . These are professional designers. I think that it’s going to be like, ‘Wait a second, let’s pay attention to the Canadian fashion industry.’” Were the con testants really as nice as they came across? Yeah. It was Canada — they were definitely nice. But here’s the thing. As a judge, I have to make sure I keep that objectivity, so I’m not going back and seeing them create their stuff. I need to judge just what I see. So, I was like, “Oh, they’re so nice.” Well, they’re going to be nice to the judges. But I saw a teaser recently and I was like, “Oh, we get a little spicy.” So, I’m not sure. I’m sure there were moments throughout the season where you’re stressed out, you’re surrounded by opinions, you don’t trust yourself anymore, you’re competing against your new fellow friend. I’m sure they don’t stay as nice as they seem throughout the whole thing, but it looked to me that these guys were a team. They really were rooting for each other. As someone who felt like she had to leave Canada to make a career, how has your sense of nationality changed? How Canadian do you feel now? Yeah, people ask me that. My husband is from England and moved to America. And when they ask us as a family, what do you feel most? Well, I grew up as a child in Canada, but as a teen to an adult and with this new family in America. It’s sometimes hard to be like, “This is all I am.” And I don’t really think that way, because I have kids that were born and raised in America. The beauty of the time we live in now, is that I want to just enjoy where I live. Canada was a beautiful beginning to my life. I only have great memories of Vancouver, of Toronto, but I’ve never lived here as an adult. I only used to see family when I come here. So, Canada to me is family. Is there something you do that’s very Canadian. I say “sorry” when you hurt yourself. [Laughs] It’s so annoying to all my friends that do not understand. They’re like, “Why do you keep saying sorry?’” I’m like, “I don’t know.” It’s just in us. ■

ROBIN HOOD

The creators and cast talk putting a human, historically accurate spin on the age-old tale of the outlaw archer with a heart of gold

ilms and TV shows based on timeless classics can be inherently fraught. On the plus side, there’s a built-in audience and a solid storytelling foundation already in place from the get-go. On the minus, it’s tough to have an original take on material that’s been tackled over and over (and over) again. Such is the case with the Prince of Thieves himself, Robin Hood — who’s been brought to life by everyone from Errol Flynn to Kevin Costner to Russell Crowe to an adorable cartoon fox. Yet co-creators Jonathan English and John Glenn found something new to say with their spin on the oft-told legend, which airs the 10th and final episode of season one this Sunday.

Jack Patten stars as the legendary arrow-firing hero in Robin Hood.

“Jonathan approached me with a very grounded, historically accurate take on it,” says Glenn, an American writer-producer, perhaps best known as the showrunner of SEAL Team. “I’ve always been somewhat of a fan of Robin Hood, but not the most hardcore fan. But we both loved it. I just was like, ‘What’s the right way into it?’ Jonathan had a really amazing, grounded kind of an origin story way into it. It really got me excited. There is a real historical version [of the legend]. You have to dig quite a bit. You have to go back, find it. And there’s a lot of everything else that we know about Robin Hood from animation, which is beautiful. You know, the Disney animated film is wonderful, Errol Flynn is wonderful and even Kevin Costner is great, but kind of dated. There’s a real historical, grounded idea of Robin Hood that’s never really been done before.” “We were just trying to stick to that which was grounded, historical, believable,” adds English,

who has trod similar creative terrain as director of the Ironclad medieval action films. “Like telling the origin story of why does the Sheriff become so obsessed with Robin Hood? Why does Robin Hood become Robin Hood? Who is his family? What does he love? What’s he care about? And putting it into a very specific moment in history as well — 1160 and 1170. It’s 100 years after the conquest of England [by the Normans]. It’s a great period in history, because you have Eleanor of Aquitaine [real-life queen of both France and England, at different points], who’s never really appeared in Robin Hood storylines. We have Connie Nielsen playing Eleanor — and that was the kind of core idea that was always there from the beginning. Prince John is in a lot of the Robin Hood storylines — but we’d never had his mother, and other figures from that period in history.” It’s also a telling of the legend that engages with the role of legend in human civilization

— largely in the form of stories young Rob has been told by his father that lead him to become the revolutionary who will shake a nation. “I was always very fascinated by the idea that in that period you still had a lot of paganism in England and you had Christianity and the two was sort of learning to live side by side,” says Glenn. “From the paganism, you have all the old gods, the old beliefs, the old superstition. It was always core to the whole idea, to Rob’s identity and what he and the other figures were wrestling with. In a broader sense, the intersection of those spiritual beliefs, how did those people — and they’re forced to live side-byside — how did they interact?” Gladiator and Wonder Woman’s Connie Nielsen is, as mentioned, among the big names in the cast as royal power player Eleanor, alongside Game of Thrones’ Sean Bean as the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham, who inadvertently kicks off Robin’s crusade by TV WEEK 59

unjustly executing his father — played by another big name, Sleepy Hollow’s Tom Mison. But for the principal characters — Robin and his star-crossed lover Marian, the creators very consciously cast unknowns, in the form of Jack Patten and Lauren McQueen. “We both wanted a Robin Hood that didn’t bring preconceived notions, and that’s sometimes difficult,” says Glenn. “We came across Jack. I think for both of us, the minute we saw him read, we both looked at each other and it was like, ‘That’s him.’ He has such unique qualities — very masculine, very interesting, very, very sweet. Got a very soulful quality.” “It was important to both of us, for particularly the roles of Robin and Marian, to have actors that people in the audience may not recognize,” adds English, “but they can do their own thing and the audience can map their own impression, ideas and emotions onto them. And equally, it was always the idea that the Sheriff and Eleanor of Aquitaine would be played by recognizable actors. And we were very lucky to end up with Sean and Connie, respectively. Those characters were really written to try to embrace the idea of being played by heavyweight actors, so that the Robin and Marian characters could be played by newcomers.” Delving into their own processes for playing the iconic star-crossed lovers, Patten and McQueen, just as much as their showrunners, had to find the human core of these legendary characters — one the son of a Saxon forester, the other the rebellious daughter of a Norman lord who decides to rebel against her own people for the greater good. “I think his biggest strength is also a bit of his biggest weakness,”

The sheriff’s daughter, Priscilla (Lydia Peckham) with Marian (portrayed by Lauren McQueen).

Eleanor of Aquitaine (Connie Nielsen) and the Sheriff of Nottingham (Sean Bean).

Patten muses of his rebellious archer. “He feels quite deeply and I think he’s a man of action — but sometimes those impulsive decisions get him into a bit of strife. So, it’s sort of a Catch-22 thing for Rob.” “We’ve always known Marian as Rob’s love interest,” says McQueen. “In our adaptation, you really see Marian has her own journey, her own story, her own struggles . . . I think for me, what was really inspiring was Marian’s strength. Even though she’s had struggles with her family, a very sheltered life, even though she has a very abusive childhood, she picks herself back up and she doesn’t let that affect her.” Another up-and-comer playing a less iconic character in this narrative is Lydia Peckham, who cheekily brings to life Priscilla, the self-possessed, ambitious, unpredictable daughter of the Sheriff of Nottingham, and best friend to Marian. Reflecting on what makes this particular version of Robin Hood stand out, she says: “I think one of the main things is the psychological depth of these characters. We have 10 episodes, so you’re gonna really get to know these people. There’s a lot of action in this series that has more of a modern edge to it than what some other past versions of the story has shown. There’s

drama and there’s great female relationships, an amazing love story. What’s so beautiful about the tale is that there is so much humanity inside of it. It shows how humans haven’t really changed, at their core.” That “psychological depth” extends to not just the heroes, but the bad guys — who are less one-note than past incarnations. Peckham’s onscreen dad, the Sheriff, is undeniably the antagonist of the piece, but also a leader doing his best to maintain order in an impossible situation: “The complexities and the facets and how complicated each character is — I think that the Sheriff is a great example,” says Peckham. “He’s not just a generic villain. You’ll see no archetypes here. There’s a nuanced side of relationships, the push-and-pull of that, the choices you have to make . . .” All that said, fans of Flynn, Costner and the fox can still look forward to a swashbucklin’ good time amidst all this historical verisimilitude. “One of the core ideas in Robin Hood is the adventure,” says English. “We didn’t want to stray from that at all. But we slowly build it. As you build this character of Robin Hood, he doesn’t start out this young man capable of these feats, but he grows into that role. But we knew the action was going to come — and when the action comes, it comes with a punch. We wanted to deliver high action adventure, but in a very character-driven, grounded, more real way.” ■ TV WEEK 61

F1: THE MOVIE ith a fan base of 827 million people around the globe, Formula 1 has cemented its position as the most popular annual sporting series in the world, but when Jerry Bruckheimer started test screening F1, asking the audience how many were familiar with the iconic racing competition, only one hand in the auditorium shot up. “It’s the No. 1 sports movie ever. It’s Brad Pitt’s highest-grossing movie ever. It’s the highest-grossing movie in IMAX this year. These are amazing accomplishments for a movie [about a sport] that in America, nobody’s ever heard of,” says Bruckheimer of the film, which raked in more than US$630 million

right in time for the holidays. Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski helmed the sports drama, based on Top Gun sequel writer Ehren Kruger’s screenplay. They both produced it alongside Bruckheimer, reallife Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton and its leading man, Pitt. Even so, Bruckheimer never counts his chickens before they have hatched. “The only people that know we have a hit is the audience,” says the maker of such blockbusters as Days of Thunder, Armageddon and both Top Guns. “The audience is much smarter than we are.” Bruckheimer does have an idea why the film did so well. “It’s a hit because it’s a redemption story,” he says. “That’s what makes it resonate with audiences.” In the film, Pitt stars as aging former Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes, who, after a career-ending crash decades prior, has taken a more haphazard life path.

Sonny reluctantly agrees, bringing his unorthodox methods with him as he helps the team climb up the score board. The only one on Team APXGP not pleased with the ascent is Hayes’ younger teammate Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris, who would rather not share the spotlight with his second driver — or anyone, for that matter. “I think Joshua Pierce wants to win a championship and he wants to make his mother proud,” says Idris. “He’s having to toy with the idea of what is important, and, in the end, he decides to focus on the race through Manza, Italy and Abu Dhabi in the United playing this part.” Arab Emirates. “If you’re going to make a Sonny and Joshua are aided in their cause by movie about F1, you better do it for real,” says technical director Kate McKenna, played by The Bruckheimer. “Everybody wanted to do it the Banshees of Inisherin’s Kerry Condon. “It was right way. [The cast] spent four months training such a great role on so many levels because in these cars, starting with an F4 car and then that there was an opportunity to play a very moving up to an F2 and then into our car. But tough, intelligent side, it was an experience that yet it’s a team sport. And, we couldn’t have done then, there is the softer without F1. Obviously, side in those moments Stefano [Domenicali], with Brad — it was an who’s the head of F1, incredible part,” she really helped make this says. “And it was great movie as authentic as to show that if girls are possible, so we could interested in this sport, or travel to nine different in physics or maths, that’s tracks.

It almost felt tribal in many ways. The a race — even if just for six minutes — made sound is really like an energy.” the experience all the better. “Very rarely do you get to walk alongside the real thing when he crew did not just attend races you’re playing these kinds of characters,” for research. Much of the film is he says. “Here, I’m asking [F1 driver] Max shot adjacent to the real Formula 1 Verstappen, ‘Should I zip the kit up?’ and races that took place, among other he’s like, ‘It’s your preference.’ Lewis is there locations, in Silverstone, England, telling me to drive faster, and he’s teasing me.

Hotshot rookie driver Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) becomes rivals with new teammate Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt).

Buddying up to the drivers, and being around them and in the garages, really helped me get into the mindset of how to walk the walk and talk the talk. You really do pick up on the smallest things, down to licking your earpieces before you stick them in or the ritual of kneeling near a car. I developed the greatest respect for the sport.” Not unlike the narrative arc for its main character, for whom success is finally within reach in his fifth decade, the completion of the film was also an exercise in patience. The actors’ strike in 2023 halted production one week after the British Grand Prix, leaving Kosinski to complete second unit filming while the labour dispute was ongoing. To Bruckheimer’s surprise, the results worked in their favour. “Of course, a year later, he’d storyboarded the entire movie and cut together all the racing footage, intercut with storyboards so you could actually see the movie before we’d finished it,” says Bruckheimer. The fact that they could pick up where they left off, at the 2024 F1 races, was a testament to the dedication of the film’s cast. “All of our actors could have done other movies [in the interim], but they took those months to make this as authentic as possible,” says Bruckheimer. “Brad said, ‘If I’m going to make this movie with you, we’re going to actually drive these cars.’” The result is spellbinding to anyone with knowledge of Formula 1 racing, but, as the producer already pointed out, the success of F1 was always going to rest with the enthusiasm of the uninitiated. “I can’t tell you how many women have come up to me and said, ‘I didn’t want to go see this movie. My husband dragged me to see this. But you know what? I love it. I’m telling my friends to go see it,’” says Bruckheimer. “So, it’s about what you feel when you walk out.” ■

RICK MERCER: STAND UP FOR CANADA Sunday, 9 p.m., CBC

Going out on the road with these young comics, was there a bit of a Bull Durham vibe, where you’re the wily veteran, they’re the rookies? Well, I am the “wily” one . . . and I guess by age, I’m the veteran. Absolutely, I was the old guy, and I really enjoyed the young energy they brought to the show . . . I learned a lot from them. But I’m the one with the grey hair who picks up dinner.

Q A

What was it like the first time you heard all this “51st state” talk?

Rick Mercer

Well, you know, I think the technical term is “Manifest Destiny,” and I can remember learning about that in probably Grade 6 or 7 and thinking, “Wow, that’s crazy. Thank God those days are over.” I didn’t think that we would be dealing with it in any kind of serious way. I mean, that discussion has always been there — the weakening of borders and economic union like you see in Europe. But to have someone so broadly saying in such a crass way that we have to become

the 51st state, it was shocking — despite the fact that it was coming from a source that long ago stopped causing shock, just because he’s capable of saying anything. The fact that it’s been reiterated so many times, it’s not good, obviously.

There’s a moment in this special where you say “facts are facts,” in a very quippy way. But as someone who has spent his career speaking truth to power and skewering hypocrisy, does it gall you that “facts” seem to mean less than ever before?

Have recent developments on the world stage renewed your appreciation for the power of comedy as not just an idle amusement, but an essential tool for a society? I’ve always said comedy can’t start to take itself too seriously and start to think it’s too important, because that’s the day the laughter dies. But at the same time, with the Mercer Report, I was really happy that, through comedy and doing the type of storytelling that I do, I got involved in things like the “get out the vote” movement in Canada. And there are times in my life where there were national unity crises happening, and I was touring the country and doing television, and I was always trying to do my best to kind of keep the country together — not as if it was just falling on my shoulders. But introducing one part of the country to the other and celebrating what’s good about the country is something that I’ve always felt comfortable doing.

Oh my God, yes. I mean, certain people have always played loosey-goosey with the truth. But even in my lifetime, if a politician got straight-up caught lying, the consequences were severe. That was the third rail for most people — because it says, “If they’re willing to lie about this, they’ll lie about anything.” That has certainly changed over the years, and Canadians — and I guess people writ large in the world — are more cynical about the honesty of politicians. But we’ve reached a point now where, with certain actors, you know there’s a greater-than-50-per-cent chance that anything that comes out of their mouth is a complete fabrication. Which is basically the president. I mean, I just happened to see him talking about how bad Jimmy Kimmel was hosting the Kennedy Honors in the past. And Jimmy Kimmel’s never hosted the Kennedy Honors. But it doesn’t matter. Apparently, he did a terrible job. It’s a very strange time to be alive.

Do you ever miss having a weekly platform like Rick Mercer Report to address these sorts of issues?

Yes and no. I did my show for an incredibly long run by any TV standards. And I was lucky enough that I chose when to walk away, and I felt good about that decision. I don’t miss the amount of time and travel that show took — although I loved every minute of it. But yeah, obviously there are days where I find myself screaming at the television, and in the old days when those things happened, I got to do it on television and not at the television. So, I miss it, but I get to do things that I never could have done before, like this special — touring the country and doing that many shows from Victoria to St. John’s, and introducing these comedians to a whole new audience. That’s something that I found really personally satisfying. I don’t regret or really miss that I don’t have that platform anymore. I like to think that if I wanted that platform back, or a place to talk about what was happening in the country on a weekly basis, I could probably find a place — or I could just wander around in an alley with my iPhone and do it myself.

MEMORABLE ROLES: From humble beginnings leading high school sketch troupe Corey and Wade’s Playhouse in his native Newfoundland, Rick Mercer rose up to become one of this country’s pre-eminent funnymen. First as co-creator and lead anchor of satirical news romp This Hour Has 22 Minutes for eight seasons, followed by five seasons starring in dark showbiz sitcom Made in Canada, and then another 15 on his pièce de résistance, Rick Mercer Report — traversing the nation, celebrating/skewering our home and native land. He’s furthermore the author of several witty, incisive, indelibly Canadian books.

CURRENT GIG: Since the end of Rick Mercer Report in 2018, the titular satirist has been less ubiquitous on our airwaves. But in these trying times — as trade wars and talks of annexation swirl — he recently headlined a crosscountry tour with fellow homegrown cut-ups Sophie Buddle, Mayce Galoni and Julie Kim. Along the way, Mercer taped this one-hour special, which is billed by CBC as a “funny, insightful and heartfelt celebration of Canada.”

. . . d r o W t Las Q

There have been many eras wherein people felt like society is crumbling and the end is nigh. Is it important to have a broader historical perspective during dark times? It’s always good to have a historical perspective . . . When I was in my late 20s, I was thinking, you know, I’ve only lived in peaceful times. I missed the rise of fascism, I missed World War I, World War II, I missed Vietnam and I missed the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, the invention of the aeroplane and telecommunications and all of these things. And I thought, “I guess everything’s invented, and there will be no more turmoil to match those events.” Then, of course, I was there for high-speed internet, and then there was COVID, and then there was Trump. And yeah, now we’re back in what they call “interesting times.” But you can’t sit around and say these are the worst times ever, because it wasn’t that long ago that the average life expectancy of a person in North America was 51 or something.

because they assumed I was the local ABC affiliate. And I would say, “Do you have just a minute for a team from Canada?” They would always stop and give me a big smile and say, “Canada? Sure, why not?” That was because they thought, “Well, no one’s ever going to see it” — but also, they had genuinely fond feelings about Canada. The problem is, as “Talking to Americans” proved over and over again, Americans will believe anything about Canada, and that was all very funny because I was telling them silly, absurd things

believe these things about Canada. The goodwill, for a very large part, has disappeared. I can only hope that the relationship gets back to where it was in my lifetime. I’d be surprised if it happens, but that’s the wish . . . But I don’t want people to get the impression that this whole special is dunking on the States, because it’s not . . . I only mention Donald Trump by name once.

One thing you also bring up in the special is the perceived niceness of Canadians. Do you think that’s a misleading cliché? Well, I think we have to be careful that we don’t get holier than thou. I don’t think there’s anything that happens in the United States that couldn’t happen in Canada. That notion of, “Oh, that could never happen here” . . . I just don’t buy that. But I think, by and large, Canadians are genuinely pretty hospitable to their neighbours. And there are worse clichés to have than the “Polite Canadian.” I’ve certainly met a lot of wonderful Americans in my life, but they’ve dealt with the “Ugly American” cliché in Europe for a very long time. So, if I was picking clichés, I’d go with the “Polite Canadian.” It’s a good one. There’s a very famous Broadway musical [Come From Away] about how nice Newfoundlanders are . . . but I would suggest that if planes landed on any tarmac in North America and people were stranded aboard them, the local people might feed them some sandwiches. That’s not a uniquely Canadian trait.

problem is, as ‘Talking “ TtoheAmericans’ A proved over and over again, Americans will believe anything about Canada, and that was all very funny because I was telling them silly, absurd things about Canada. But that character trait has kind of been weaponized . . .

Q A

“Talking to Americans” was one of your signature bits. How would you tackle that in today’s climate? The short answer is: I wouldn’t, and for a host of reasons. One of the reasons “Talking to Americans” works so well is it relied on the goodwill that Americans felt for Canada.

The powerhouse of energy and life-long vibrancy What are mitochondria, and how do we spark them? They are like very tiny powerplants that produce energy in every living cell of our bodies. On average, every cell has 1,500 mitochondria. Can you imagine that for their extremely small size, it’s been said that they produce, gram for gram, 10,000–50,000 times more energy than the sun? To say that mitochondria are important to human health is grossly understating their role in our

survival. We literally would not be alive without them. They convert our food into energy, so that every other function of our body can occur as it needs to. As we age, our ability to create healthy mitochondria to support our energy demands diminishes. And because about 90% of our cellular energy is produced by mitochondria, this decline can cause significant health issues
