Bender to be binned
Comedy Central have decided not to renew Futurama, making it the third time the show has been cancelled. Matt Groening commented on Comedy Central’s choice and the seventh season saying, “We would love to continue. We have many more stories to tell. But if we don’t, this is a really great way to go out... I think these episodes are the best ones we’ve ever done.”

Bollywood Turns 100

Bollywood flourishes today with almost 1500 films being produced last year in multibillion dollar industry that continues to grow. The milestone is being commemorated with the release of Bombay Talkies, an anthology of four short films directed by four of Bollywood’s leading directors.

Queen Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren has been awarded a Laurence Olivier Award, the UK’s highest stage honour on Sunday for her compelling role of Queen Elizabeth II in The Audience. The theatre production depicts the weekly meetings between The Queen with British prime minsters including Winston Churchill. Upon collecting the prize, she humbly commented saying that Queen Elizabeth herself deserved an Olivier “for the most consistent and committed performance of the 20th century and probably the 21st century”.
