Finally, the documentary film will be broadcast in November Freddie Mercury – The man behind the myth, first broadcast on BBC Four in 2015 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Queen's song Bohemian Rhapsody.

But in addition to reality shows, talent shows and documentaries, many films are also planned. As always, we would like to recommend two to you. Let's start with Italia 2, which broadcasts the third chapter of the saga. Tremors 3 – Return to Perfection.

But the new creature is tougher than the previous ones. Will Burt manage to defeat him and save humanity again?
