00:00 Hi and welcome back to another episode of Screen Babble Weekend Watch.

00:03 I'm Stephen, National Wales Digital Trends Writer,

00:05 and I'll be toying through what's on TV and streaming

00:08 and in cinemas this weekend and beyond.

00:11 So to kick things off, on Friday the 24th of November,

00:15 we have a huge film coming out, Ridley Scott's Napoleon.

00:19 It's an epic historical drama that follows the rise and tragic fall

00:25 of the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

00:29 A very controversial historical figure played in this film by Joaquin Phoenix,

00:35 who previously worked with Ridley Scott in another historical drama, Gladiator.

00:41 Napoleon will follow the emperor's journey to power

00:45 and his relationship with his wife Josephine,

00:50 which was also quite complicated.

00:54 Also on Friday, we have Netflix Swedish language drama series

00:58 A Nearly Normal Family, which follows Adam and Ulrika Sandal,

01:02 who live a seemingly perfect life with their daughter Stella

01:05 in a residential suburban idyll. But when Stella ends up in police custody

01:12 and is accused of murder, everything sort of goes to pot.

01:15 There's six episodes in the drama series and they'll all be released on Friday.

01:21 Then this weekend, Saturday the 25th, a big TV event,

01:25 the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Special sees David Tennant and Catherine Tate

01:31 return as the Doctor and Donna Noble.

01:35 The episode, very little has been released plot-wise, but we do know that

01:39 the Doctor is once again caught in a fight to the death

01:47 and he finds himself once again in the company of his old friend

01:52 Donna Noble. The special will air on BBC1 at 6.30pm

01:57 on Saturday. Then also on Saturday, we have Lockerbie, a Sky Documentaries

02:09 deadliest terror attack in British history when 270 people

02:13 travelling in a commercial flight

02:17 died when the the plane was bombed and crashed

02:20 into Lockerbie in Scotland, killing civilians on the ground as

02:27 well as the entire passengers on the flight.

02:33 That premieres at 9pm on Saturday on Sky Documentaries.

02:38 Then on Sunday, we have Far Away Downs, a Disney+

02:42 drama series starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. It follows an English

02:46 aristocrat who inherits a sprawling ranch and a woman who is

02:52 intent on protecting her new property from a takeover plot. There's six episodes

02:58 in the series and they'll all land at the same time on Sunday.

03:33 It follows Jackson Lamb and his team of misfits who are once again dragged into

03:37 a fight and find themselves caught in a

03:39 conspiracy that threatens the future of Slough House as well as the
