Channel 4 has renewed its comedy series Friday Night Dinner for a third season of 6 episodes. The show?s third season is set to enter production in North London this Summer, with Channel 4 eyeing a 2014 premiere.

Created by Robert Popper, Friday Night Revolves around the dysfunctional Goodman family who, every Friday, sit down to a family meal. The comedy series is produced by Big Talk Productions & Popper Pictures (both of whom recently re-teamed to produce Sky Living?s new six episode comedy series Give Out Girls) and stars Simon Bird, Tamsin Greig, Paul Ritter, Tom Rosenthal and Mark Heap. The series is written by Robert Popper, who also produces. The executive producer is Big Talk?s CEO Kenton Allen.

In the show?s third season, Adam gains a new female admirer ? an 11-year old girl; Jonny gets the world?s worst tattoo; Dad gives the boys a graphic lecture on sex education; Mum practices being a counsellor on her horrified family; Grandma goes back out with the terrifying Mr Morris; Jim accidentally swallows his dog?s sleeping pills, and? there?s a wedding.

?I?m so excited to be making a new series of Friday Night Dinner with such a fantastic cast once again? said series creator Robert Popper. ?I really could not be happier. Well I could, if say, I?d taught crows how to speak and they, in turn, taught me how to fly.?

While Nerys Evans, Channel 4?s Deputy Head of Comedy, added: ?We?re thrilled we?re going to be spending more Friday Nights with the Goodmans, and not forgetting Jim and Wilson too. Roberts?s created such a brilliantly warm and funny world, and the cast are just sublime, we can?t wait to join them for more Friday Night Dinners next year ?

I'm now n episode 4 - they've made Jim too weird. It's daft.

 

Yeah, they need to bin him off. Its like they are struggling to find ideas to include him in every episode. I love the show, the only fault with it is Jim.

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Since the launch of the iPhone Air, we’ve heard conflicting rumors and speculation about the fate of Apple's ultra-thin iPhone. As it turns out, Apple is not going to ditch the Air model from its lineup, and a second generation is already planned for next year. As reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, citing people familiar with the matter, the second-generation iPhone Air is planned for spring 2027 and is poised to receive notable upgrades. The upgraded model, codenamed V62, will reportedly feature an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography. The new camera system is said to be in advanced testing within Apple. Gurman also says the second-generation iPhone Air could offer better battery life, either through a larger battery or software improvements. The overall design of the device is expected to remain unchanged. A single rear camera and below-average battery life were among the biggest drawbacks of the first-generation iPhone Air despite its $999 price tag. Hopefully, the next iPhone Air will fare better. Gurman also added that the device will be powered by the A20 Pro processor. The release of the second-generation iPhone Air in spring 2027 aligns with previous reports that Apple is shaking up the iPhone release cycle. Accordingly, the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the company’s first foldable iPhone are expected to launch in September 2026, followed by the iPhone 18 and the new iPhone Air roughly six months later. The 20th-anniversary iPhone is also reportedly planned for fall 2027. Meanwhile, if you’re planning to buy the refreshed iPhone Air, Apple might surprise you with a new price tag. As we reported today, CEO Tim Cook confirmed that price increases are on the way due to rising memory chip costs and a severe shortage. With that in mind, analysts estimate that the base iPhone 18 Pro could cost as much as $1,399 this year. The current $999 iPhone Air may not be immune to those price hikes.
