At the heart of “House of the Dragon,” there’s much more going on than scheming, warfare, and oversized egos — though there’s plenty of that to go around. But before the inevitable storm, we got a taste of the peace: when princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock) and her best friend Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey) could peacefully lay in the Godswood, talking about cake and their favorite warrior princesses. Now, several episodes in, the Targaryen civil war we’ve been promised has yet to begin, but the seeds of it have certainly been planted. There’s tension between Alicent, Rhaenyra and so many more, meaning it won’t be long before anger and jealousy envelop everything else.

The other element that doesn’t bode well for their relationship is how quickly “House of the Dragon” moves through time. In just a few more episodes, the younger actresses will step away from their roles to be replaced by Emma D’Arcy (as Rhaenyra) and Olivia Cooke (as Alicent). What will such a significant time jump mean for their relationship? So far, things aren’t looking great. Alicent’s already gone through quite the transformation. Once an anxious teen, she’s now considered an adult in the eyes of the realm: she has a husband and son, with another child on the way. Oh yeah, and she’s the Queen of Westeros — thanks to marrying Rhaenyra’s father, Viserys (Paddy Considine).

For Carey, Alicent Hightower was a daunting role to tackle — especially since the series is a followup to the massively popular “Game of Thrones.”

How Alicent’s Costume Changed Everything

Understandably, bringing Alicent to the screen meant tangling with her own nerves, but thankfully, the immersive experience of filming “House of the Dragon” helped her truly get into character. During a chat with Collider, Emily Carey explained that her costume made the biggest difference:

“I remember stepping onto set in my costume, and for a camera test, you don’t get any dialogue. You just are put in front of a camera and have to walk around a little bit. I remember that I was itching to just do it. I’d stepped on set and it was so immersive. The costumes pull your shoulders back and they change the way you walk.”

Actors have often expressed this sentiment when it comes to costume dramas: donning the outfit can be transformative. This seems especially true when it comes to a character like Alicent, whose costumes speak volumes about her actions. As early as in the first episode, Alicent is instructed to wear her mother’s dresses, because her father wants her to look older and more desirable for the king. For Carey, that physical change made the camera test feel very real and in-the-moment:

“I was there with Milly. It was just the two of us. And I remember looking at her like, “This is it. What do I say? Come on, give me something to do now.” It suddenly became very real, and it felt so right. Suddenly, a lot of my nervousness had gone away because I was there and everything clicked.

Will Rhaenyra And Alicent’s Friendship Survive?

While there’s no doubt that the D’Arcy and Cooke will blow us away by tackling older versions of the two girls, it’ll be a shame to see Carey and Alcock go. The young actresses have poured a lot into the teenage characters and essentially built the foundations of the conflict to come. In the same interview, Carey discussed their complex dynamic and revealed more about how she and Alcock conceptualized the relationship:

“When you’re 14, especially when you’re a girl, the relationship that you have with your best friend is a closeness like no other. It toes the line between platonic and romantic. I don’t think you even know what those words mean at 14. You don’t know what the feelings mean. It’s just this need to be with that person. You love them with your whole being, and you just adore them. I think that’s the case for Alicent and Rhaenyra, which is what makes it so heartbreaking when their relationship starts to demise.”

This will be a crucial sentiment as “House of the Dragon” approaches a major time jump and gears up for its next chapter: is there any hope that Rhaenyra and Alicent will remember what they once meant to one another? Only time will tell.

“House of the Dragon” airs new episodes weekly on Sundays on HBO and HBO Max.

The BBC parted ways with Clarkson in 2015, announcing that the former Top Gear presenter was responsible for an “unprovoked physical and verbal attack” that left a colleague bleeding and seeking hospital treatment. The broadcaster’s then director general, Lord Tony Hall, expressed “great regret” at having to let Clarkson go. And legendary natural historian Sir David Attenborough agrees.

Writing in her memoir, Airhead, BBC Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis recalled a conversation with the 94-year-old.

She asked: “Was the BBC wrong to sack Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson?”

To which, he replied: “Well, yes. 

“I regret letting Clarkson go because it’s very good to have a voice that’s anti-establishment.”

Justifying Clarkson’s dismissal, Lord Hall said the BBC was a “broad church” that required “distinctive and different voices but they cannot come at any price”.

Since leaving the BBC six years ago, Clarkson has gone on to reinvent himself as the host of Amazon Prime’s The Grand Tour.

His Top Gear colleagues, Richard Hammond and James May, followed him out in a move May said was an easy decision to make.

The BBC show they left, meanwhile, is almost unrecognisable.

The Newsnight firebrand writes: “He insists for a programme maker, it was the most fantastic job you can imagine.

“He said: ‘When I joined there was this absurd mystique that somehow there’s magic about making programmes and only the BBC knew how, as if we gave it to the nation.’

“He laughs at the pomposity. 

“Well, I say back, perhaps that isn’t completely over. Look at Bake Off, that was gifted to the nation.

“Was the BBC right not to renew their deal?

“‘Oh! Absolutely right.

“’Say if you want another million go ahead, we’ve got plenty more ideas where that came from.’”

The Great British Bake Off moved to Channel 4 from the BBC in 2016.

It was considered controversial at the time and was agreed for a deal reportedly worth £75million over three years.

Paul Hollywood was the only member of Bake Off’s original line-up to move to Channel 4 and was allegedly paid £1.2million for the three-year deal.

He was joined by Prue Leith, a British-South African restaurateur, chef and food critic.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Emily in Paris‘ finale. Proceed at your own risk!

Oh la la, Emily in Paris‘ season concluded with quite a torturous cliffhanger for fans of the “will they or won’t they?” relationship between the titular heroine and her handsome neighbor Gabriel.

Let’s briefly recap: Realizing that his best chance at opening his own restaurant was in Normandy, Gabriel announced that he was moving — and soon! Since his girlfriend Cami wasn’t about to leave her life in Paris, that meant the couple was officially broken up. Emily, too, was shocked by Gabriel’s big move, but at the same time, she was happy for her friend and his new venture. The pair said their awkward goodbyes, but that wasn’t how Emily wanted to leave things with Gabriel, so she rushed back to the restaurant where he works and the two passionately kissed, before taking things to the bedroom. As they lay in his bed, Gabriel noted that Normandy is not that far away.

“It’s not that I can never see you again. It’s just that I don’t think I should ever see you again,” Emily replied. After all, Cami is also her friend. “We’d both be hurting someone that we care about a lot.”

Emily in Paris FinaleThe next day, Emily found Gabriel back at the restaurant instead of on his way to Normandy. Surprise! He’s buying the Parisian restaurant, with the help of Antoine’s financing. The happy moment was then broken up by a potentially troublesome text from Cami to Emily: “I just heard from Gabriel. He’s staying in Paris. Can we talk??”

So what does the message mean?! “Nothing is sort of exactly as it seems to [Emily],” creator Darren Star cryptically hints, “and I think a lot of her ideas about life are constantly tested. And they will be next season, as well.” (The show’s Season 2 fate is To Be Determined, for the record.)

As for Gabriel’s decision to stay, his feelings for Emily are at the forefront of his mind and his choice. “I think Emily gave him purpose again, and he had enough strength around her that he felt like he could go further with his restaurant project and actually make it happen, [whereas] he didn’t have that strength before with Camille,” Lucas Bravo, who plays the chef, tells TVLine. “Based on that, he sees Emily as his pillar, his main inspiration, his strength.”

So when Antoine offers to help Gabriel, “he’s just like, ‘OK, planets are aligned,’” Bravo continues. “And she’s also the reason why he knows [Antoine]. She’s the reason why he’s going to have another opportunity, and she’s connected to everything that is happening. So she’s, obviously, the main reason he’s so happy about staying.”

Meanwhile, Emily is both “deeply conflicted” and “really excited” following Gabriel’s big news, star Lily Collins describes. “She’s now more confused than ever, because Cami and her have created this real bond, and she is all about her girlfriends. But at the same time, he’s been the [constant] throughout her experience so far, being supportive and being a friend, but also something a little bit more.”

So what does the future hold for the would-be couple, should the series get renewed? “What happens in the next chapter, I think, can be a real exploration of how does the relationship between these three characters evolve,” Star previews. “That, to me, is such a fun thing to explore in Season 2, because these are not Americans. They’re French people. To me, a big part of the show is looking at everything through a different lens. Season 2 will open up some interesting and surprising relationship avenues.”

Emily in Paris NetflixPlus, there’s the issue of if Emily and Gabriel pursue a relationship, are they doing something wrong, especially in light of the fact that their attraction began — and a kiss transpired — while Gabriel was still dating Cami? “I think it’s really sticky,” Collins admits. “I’d probably steer clear of that, because there’s obviously been so much going on with Gabriel and Cami’s relationship. When you go to the Loire Valley and see the family and how they all interact, there’s such a deep history there. I would just let things settle.”

For his part, Bravo believes Emily and Gabriel are “definitely not in the good, this is wrong, but this is also exciting,” he says. “I think they’re both kind of lost. She’s lost in Paris, and he’s lost in his feelings. So that’s what happens, I guess, when two lost people find each other.”

And Gabriel isn’t the only man pursuing Emily in the French capital: Thinking that Gabriel had already left for Normandy, Emily agreed to go to Saint-Tropez with fashion exec Mathieu. But never fear, because as Collins puts it, “I don’t see them being a great match. I see that as more of a distraction.”

Parlez-vous français? If so, Emily in Paris‘ titular heroine could use your help.

The Netflix comedy, from creator Darren Star (Younger, Sex and the City), follows Chicago marketing executive Emily (played by The Last Tycoon‘s Lily Collins) as she embarks on a Parisian adventure. After her boss (Private Practice‘s Kate Walsh, in an all-too-brief role) gets pregnant, Emily is sent in her place to Paris to work with the boutique French luxury firm that Emily’s company has acquired. Emily’s in awe of her scenic new surroundings and the city’s life-changing pain au chocolat. And she’s very excited to share her ideas on how to improve the firm’s social media presence, but her new colleagues Luc (Bruno Gouery) and Julien (Samuel Arnold) aren’t as thrilled about her presence. For starters, Emily doesn’t speak French (“Fake it ’til you make it!” Emily retorts), and her plucky approach to work is so very American.

Emily in Paris NetflixSylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), who practically slinks into every scene, takes a particular dislike to “la plouc” (aka “the hick”), as Emily’s coworkers dub her. “With me as her boss, we’ll see how long she lasts,” Sylvie remarks.

When Luc runs into Emily at a café, he confesses that she scares them all, because maybe now they have to work harder. Americans live to work, while the French work to live, he notes. (Case in point: Emily shows up at the office at 8:30 am, not knowing that they open their doors at 10:30 am.) Emily replies that she enjoys work and accomplishment, which Luc takes to mean that maybe she doesn’t know what it is to be happy. Emily thinks that’s a little arrogant, but Luc counters back that it’s arrogant that she came to Paris, not knowing any French. “More ignorant than arrogant,” Emily apologetically admits.

But not everyone Emily meets in Paris takes a dislike to her: When she mistakes her neighbor’s apartment for her own, Emily discovers that she lives above the hunky Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), and lucky for Emily, he seems amused by her. For now, though, Emily has a boyfriend in Chicago, whose suggestion that they engage in cybersex leads Emily’s vibrator to take out the power in the whole neighborhood.

Emily in Paris NetflixEmily also makes a friend in Mindy (Ashley Park, Broadway’s Mean Girls), a Chinese ex-pat working in Paris as a nanny. Mindy offers her phone number to Emily in case she ever feels lonely and wants to get dinner. What a bonne amie!

When it comes to dream TV roles for an actress, you could argue that it doesn’t get much better than Emily in Paris. After all, the new Netflix comedy (10 episodes premiere this Friday) hails from Sex and the City and Younger creator/hitmaker Darren Star. Plus, the series filmed on location in the French capital, and the fashion is covet-worthy.

“It definitely was an experience I never saw coming,” title star Lily Collins tells TVLine. “When I heard about the show and read the pilot, and I saw that Darren was doing it, and it was being shot entirely in Paris, and when he mentioned to me that [Sex and the City‘s] Patricia Field would most likely be doing costumes, I thought, ‘There’s just no way. There’s no way that this recipe is actually coming to fruition.’ I thought this is an absolute dream and something that I would have binged when it came out. So to be a part of it in this way is so special.”

Below, Collins shares how Emily — a Chicago marketing exec who gets a job at a boutique Parisian firm — compares to Star’s other female lead characters and previews Emily’s busy romantic life in the City of Love.

TVLINE | What qualities do you feel like Emily shares with the heroines from Darren’s other shows?
Emily is very passionate. She’s very work-driven and determined. She’s very smart, and she’s also witty, with a little bit of sass. Darren has created these characters that emulate all types of personalities, and I love that, because modern women have all these different types of personalities. Darren also makes sure that his women are fully rounded, and they’re in on the joke as much as they are the joke sometimes. Like, Emily is obviously in on the humor of the situation, but at the same time she falls into the situation of being laughed at, and she takes it in stride because she’s strong and resilient. I love the fact that she also has a bit of sass and stuff, too.

TVLINE | Is there any character from Sex in the City or Younger that you think Emily would be friends with?
I think Emily, like myself, definitely grew up loving Carrie Bradshaw. I think she was a huge Sex in the City [fan]. I think she had posters on her walls and things saved in her phone and favorite episodes of shows and movies, and I really believe that when she finds out she’s going to Paris, she does think about all these images she’s seen over the years and characters that she’s watched and loved so much, and thinks, “Wow, it’s now my chance. I get to go and experience this like those characters would have.”

Emily in Paris NetflixTVLINE | Was there a memorable experience while filming on location that really stands out for you, where something went awry or something unexpected happened?
One of the most special times of shooting was when we got to take over the Paris Opera House and shoot there at night. I was wearing this beautiful gown and this gorgeous headpiece. It was reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn, kind of a nod to her. We got to shoot all by ourselves there, and it was just so magical to be running around. When I wasn’t filming, I was just wearing, like, hotel slippers with this ball gown, taking it all in and being like, “This is a dream. What is going on?!” To be able to sit in the velvet seats and be surrounded by that history, and look up and see the gorgeous paintings on the ceiling….

At the end of one night, we een got to go down to the very, very bottom, to the basement, where there’s, like, a water reserve. I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s there’s these underwater-like caves that are beneath the Paris Opera House, and there are little fish…. We got to go climb all the way down at like four in the morning and look at that. It was really kind of amazing.

Emily in Paris GabrielTVLINE | Paris is the City of Love, and there’s certainly plenty of men in Emily’s life. What can you say about her love life and, in particular, the very charming downstairs neighbor who’s also a chef — which is like the jackpot?
It was really important for us to show her as someone who is really going on this journey in the City of Love, finding and loving herself more than anything — and through that journey, she meets all these possible suitors. Some have more comedic endings than others, and some are just fleeting moments that you think, “Oh, this is going to be a series regular”… and then all of a sudden, it ends, and you’re like, “Ooh, and then that just happened!”

Emily’s in a serious relationship when she goes to Paris, and then when she realizes that he’s just not willing to give to her what she would do for him, she chooses herself and her life and her experiences. She goes into this new Paris life as a very independent young woman who is ready to experience life and take on her job and whatever else comes her way.

That being said, as she’s finding herself and having these experiences, she starts to become open to other possibilities, and that comes with work experiences, that comes with friendships, and then, of course, that comes with romance. Because like you said, it’s Paris, and what would Paris be without a little romance? So she finds herself in these funny situations where sometimes the cultural differences or miscommunications [reveal they are] just not the right men for her. She strikes up a friendship with Gabriel (played by Lucas Bravo), and she strikes up a friendship with Gabriel’s girlfriend (Camille Razat) and doesn’t realize it, and so that adds a little wrench to the situation. But I think she’s just looking for herself and what makes her feel whole, and along the way she has these experiences that I think a lot of people can relate to.

What I love about the way Emily deals with them is that she really does put herself first, and she doesn’t question who she is in determining whether or not someone’s right for her. Or if something feels inappropriate or wrong, she says it, and she moves on instead of trying to make a situation work. Because she tried to make the situation work with her boyfriend from Chicago, but realized that he was just not willing to do the same. So like I said, she put herself first. It’s really lovely to play a character that is falling in love with herself first and foremost.

In a rare appearance on ITV Good Morning Britain, BBC’s Andrew Marr told Piers Morgan the people behind the decision to find Emily Maitlis in violation of BBC‘s impartiality rules are very experienced. Asked whether he believed the Newsnight host had “crossed a line”, Mr Marr said: “Every single Sunday I sit down with my editor and go through every phrase, every adjective, every syllable that I say.

“And he asks me ‘is that absolutely fair?’ or ‘can you really justify that to everybody watching?’

“Emily is one of the great broadcasters of her generation, a really great broadcaster.

“But the BBC decided she crossed the line and the people taking that decision are very, very experienced.

“Beyond that, I’m not going to wade in. It’s been a media story that’s gone on for too long.”

The Newsnight presenter was found to have violated the BBC’s impartiality guidelines following her monologue on Dominic Cummings last week.

In her introduction to last Tuesday’s show, Maitlis said Mr Cummings had “broken the rules” when he travelled from London to Durham during lockdown and “the country can see that, and it’s shocked the Government cannot”.

The BBC said the monologue “did not meet our standards of due impartiality”.

Maitlis returned to Newsnight on Monday, but did not mention the row during a show focusing on the protests that have broken out across the US in response to the death of an unarmed black man.

MPs have aired their frustrations over the controversial lockdown trip made by the Prime Minister’s top adviser Dominic Cummings.

Following the Whitsun recess, Tuesday was the first time MPs could speak in the Commons about Mr Cummings’ trip from London to Durham, which was revealed in the press last month.

SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford called for Mr Cummings to be shown the door.

He said: “The Prime Minister has destroyed his own ‘stay home and save lives’ message.”

Mr Blackford added that Mr Cummings has “undermined efforts” to reduce the spread of coronavirus and that “people are breaking the rules as a result”.

Tory MP Craig Whittaker (Calder Valley), a former Government whip, asked if the Government’s Covid-19 strategy has been damaged by the Cummings affair.

After suggesting Emily had an “understanding of struggling”, she spoke about her education and how she doesn’t wish for any child to go through a similar thing to her.

Maitlis, 49, won widespread acclaim for the way she talked to the Duke of York about his dealings with paedophile businessman Jeffrey Epstein. But Andrew, 59, was ridiculed for the way he answered claims that he slept with 17-year-old Virginia Roberts – accusations he has denied. Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in August while awaiting trial for child sex trafficking. Andrew later agreed to be grilled about his relationship with the US financier, in an interview broadcast by the BBC on November 16. 

Maitlis said she was unprepared for the furore that followed the programme, with some royal commentators even comparing it to the Edward VIII abdication crisis. 

She told this week’s Radio Times: “I didn’t see it coming. It wasn’t an attempt to bring down the royals, just a chance to understand the story. 

“I didn’t like people saying, ‘It’s a car crash interview,’ because I thought, ‘That’s not enticing, that’s not encouraging.’ 

“I don’t want people thinking that’s what happens at Newsnight.” 

The interview was recorded in Buckingham Palace. 

Maitlis said that, after they finished filming the whole talk, both Andrew and his Palace team thought she had done a “fair job”. 

She added: “The impression I got was definitely that he had been happy with it. 

“I think you have a curious duty of care towards your interviewees.” 

Miss Roberts, now 35, claims she was recruited by Andrew’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell and slept with him after they partied together at London nightclub Tramp. 

Andrew claimed he could not remember meeting her, and said he was at a Pizza Express in Woking, Surrey, when he was accused of being in the club. 

The Queen’s son also denied her claim that he had been sweating a lot by insisting that, at the time, he could not sweat because of a medical condition. 

His interviewer would not concede whether she believed his side of the story, saying: “I don’t feel that is for me, actually. It’s not my job. 

“I’m not a judge, I’m not a barrister, this isn’t a court of law.” 

But she did say that the Prince gave answers she “never expected to hear”. 

She added that Andrew – who was panned for saying he stayed at Epstein’s New York apartment – probably “wishes he’d chosen differently or better”.

Emily Thornberry joined BBC Breakfast hosts Charlie Stayt and Naga Muchetty via a live video link this morning to discuss her role in the Labour party and her running to take over from Jeremy Corbyn as the new Labour leader. But Charlie was forced to ask her what was so funny when she was questioned as to who she would keep in office if she was in power.

Stayt began: “Looking forwards, a lot of people think that Jeremy Corbyn is surrounded by a group of people who have protected him from the outside world of what the general public think and that’s the way the general election vote turned out, do you accept that there is a problem right at the heart of the party?”

Thornberry explained: “I believe Jeremy was let down by the advisers that he had, I think -”

Stayt interrupted: “Who are still there.”

She continued: “Who are still there, so what we’ve seen is that there have been a number of letters go out to staff throughout Southside, to people in the leaders office, the people who advised the Shadow Cabinet including my own staff, who have been told they may be made redundant, but those who made the decision the strategic decisions before and during the General Election it looks like their jobs are not on the line and that seems to me to be wrong.”

Ms Thornberry sparked frustration as she laughed as Stayt asked: “So have you got a list of people that you are going to get rid of?”

He added: “I don’t understand why that’s funny because a lot of people think that’s what has to happen.

“If you want to make some kind of clean break from the past and I’m not even sure if you’re saying that you need to get rid of people so do you have a list?”

Thornberry explained: “What happens when a new leader is elected, it will be up to her to decide who is in the leaders office and who will be advising her so whoever is elected it will be up to her to decide who their advisers are that’s how it works.”

Stayt interrupted: “So expect sacking if Emily Thornberry becomes leader of the labour party it’s as simple as that.”

Thornberry chipped in: “I think expect us to continue to be the party that we are to continue to have the values that we do but to be led by someone who will make timely decisions and strong decisions.

“And who will take Boris Johnson on at the dispatch box and who will think through in a logical way where it is that we are going and what it is we are trying to do.

“For example you’ve been the Democrats taking on President Trump and getting as far as they have with impeachment, that is because they have had a clear strategy and they have worked together.

“It’s that sort of thing you need to do in opposition now I’m not saying that we are going to impeach Boris Johnson before you start saying that but, we need to be able to take Boris Johnson on and be clear about how we hold him to account and where it is that we are going as a party.”

Stayt interrupted again: “Many observers are saying that the potential candidate not declared as you are at this stage Rebecca Long Bailey, who a lot of people see as closet to Jeremy Corbyn’s in terms of politics and the way they see the party that she is the front runner.

“Do you think it would be a mistake for the party to stick with someone who has the principles that Jeremy Corbyn had?”

Thornberry explained: ”I think in the end you know when you look at principles and you look at politics.

“Let’s look at the manifesto, the truth of the matter is that the manifesto was a unifying document and when it comes to the politics we all agree.

“It is a question of how do we get ourselves into power in order to be able to implement that I believe that I’m a bridge from where we are to getting us into power.”

Stayt interrupted once again: “You got to the point where you were promising the earth, and people saw that and if you’re still sitting here now hoping to be the labour party leader and still saying you got all of that right then people might think that that’s not looking good.”

Thornberry said: “But I think if people are listening to me they’ll know that’s not what I’m saying, what I’m saying is there isn’t anything wrong with any of the individual promises in the manifesto.”
