Universal's new UK theme park will have four lands as more details emerge

The resort in Bedfordshire is set to open in 2031 following an agreement brokered between the American company, the Government and the local council The hotly anticipated Universal theme park in Bedfordshire will feature four lands and the tallest ride in Europe, it has emerged. More and more details are surfacing about the movie-inspired theme park, which is due to open in 2031 and will be the first Universal park in Europe. When the plans were first confirmed in April this year, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer jubilantly proclaimed: "It's going to put Bedford on the map for millions of people – film lovers, people coming here for fun, people building their careers here." Now, planning documents related to the project reveal that the theme park will have four zones: the Core Zone, Lake Zone, West Gateway Zone, and the East Gateway Zone. The Core Zone is tipped to include the main theme park and a 500-room hotel. The Lake Zone will include a new wetland area and a 2,000-room business hotel, while the East Gateway Zone, is expected to adjoin the planned new Wixams Rail Station. The West Gateway Zone is due to feature an entertainment complex, restaurants, petrol station. The plans describe the theme park as providing guests with the opportunity to 'experience blockbuster attractions, adrenaline-pumping coasters, and mind-blowing spectaculars." It has been rumoured that inspiration for parts of the park could come from Minions, Jaws, and Jurassic Park. However, this has not yet been officially confirmed. Back in April, a source close to the Universal UK project told the BBC that James Bond, Paddington, and The Lord of the Rings are among the brands that could appear at the park. Rides and attractions related to Harry Potter are not expected to be included. Other Universal theme parks feature a variety of themed lands, including: Hollywood, Minion Land, New York, San Francisco, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley, World Expo, Springfield, and DreamWorks Land. Planning documents unveiled this month also show that the UK park could have some of the tallest rides in Europe. The American film production and distribution company is considering building structures reaching up to 377 ft (115 m), including rides. 'The reason for proposing structures up to this maximum height is to allow the proposed theme park to compete with other attractions in Europe,' the proposal said. 'Although the Universal Orlando Resort does not currently have attractions up to this height, taller attractions are more common in Europe, where rides need to be taller to create the experience, as space is more constrained.' Currently, Thorpe Park's Hyperia is the tallest and fastest theme park ride in Britain. It sends thrill-seekers up to 72 m and reaches speeds of 80 mph. Red Force, a 367-foot (112 m) rollercoaster at PortAventura World in Spain, is currently the tallest in Europe. The majority of the park's structures will be between 20 and 30 m tall. 'Building attractions that are higher, rather than over greater areas, also makes the best use of land, which is in line with planning policy,' they added. Sir Keir lauded the landmark Universal deal as a promise of "growth, jobs and of course joy to Britain." By 2055, Universal envisions the 476-acre site near Bedford contributing nearly £50 billion to the economy, with plans for a 500-room hotel and a comprehensive retail and entertainment complex accompanying the theme park.

Benidorm star teases 'laugh out loud' new series after comeback talks confirmed

A Benidorm actress has share some exciting news about a potential new series of the much-loved ITV comedy A much-loved Benidorm star has given fans a glimmer of hope about the return of the cult ITV comedy series. Launching in 2007, the show captivated audiences as it charted the hilarious escapades of Brits basking in the sunshine at the Solana Resort. Over its glittering run, Benidorm scooped up numerous accolades including BAFTAs and NTAs, securing its status as a viewer's delight. ‌ Despite an all-star cast featuring Sheridan Smith, Siobhan Finneran, and Johnny Vegas, the show came to an untimely end after 11 years in 2018, much to devotees' dismay. ‌ Whispers of a revival have been circulating, spurred on by hints from the cast and even creator Derren Litten himself, reports OK!. Sherrie Hewson, renowned for her portrayal of Joyce Temple-Savage, dropped a bombshell during her 'An Evening With Sherrie Hewson' on Sunday (July 6) in Barnsley. She revealed: "I do know ITV have got new scripts and they love them and think they are wonderful." Yet, she tempered expectations by stating: "The problem with Benidorm is that it's probably one of the most expensive shows ever because it's in Spain, we have a Spanish crew, we have a British crew, so it costs a fortune to make." Still, she remains optimistic, adding: "But it's on twice a day every day and those ratings are still as high as they ever were, so I think it will [return]." ‌ Fans loyal to Benidorm may just see their beloved characters gracing the screens once again thanks to ITV's apparent adoration for the new material presented to them. Sherrie hinted at good news: "And I think they [ITV bosses] love the scripts anyway and Derren said he laughed out loud when he wrote them so I don't think there's any question, it's just when." ‌ In other news, Benidorm creator Derren Litten had fans buzzing in April when he announced that he is in negotiations with ITV about a potential revival of the fan-favourite show. During a Facebook Live session reported by The Sun, Derren divulged some tantalising details: "Have I been talking to ITV in the last few months? Yes I have." He continued, giving fans a glimmer of hope: "Have ITV commissioned a special or a series at the moment? No. Might they in the next few weeks [or] couple of months? Yeah they might. They might." Derren concluded, aiming to uplift fans with anticipation: "So I hope that gives you [the fans] some hope, and I hope that gives you some idea of where we are," indicating that the beloved sitcom may soon return to the small screen.

Liam Payne's family share what they think of new Netflix documentary

Liam Payne's final TV project is set to air this week, nine months after the former One Direction singer tragically died after falling from his hotel in Argentina Liam Payne's family have spoken out about his upcoming Netflix show – his final project before his death. The late One Direction singer tragically died aged 31 in October last year, after falling from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. But before his death, the Wolverhampton-born singer had been working alongside some huge names in the music industry on a new Netflix show, which is set to air this week. Liam teamed up with Nicole Scherzinger, who created One Direction, as well as Kelly Rowland and host, Backstreet Boys icon, AJ McLean, for Building The Band. ‌ While the show is to be released almost a year after Liam's death, his family have been very vocal about the programme and their views on it. In the series, Liam is at his happiest, helping artists discover their talent and assisting them on their journey of finding success. ‌ But it comes with a hint of sadness for his loved ones, with his sister Ruth admitting she was torn about discussing the show online. She said she was "heartbroken" that her little brother would never see how "brilliant" he is on the show. Ruth shared on her Instagram Stories: "I didn't know whether to share this, but it felt odd when I've raved about Liam's work and achievements for the past 15 years. "I'm heartbroken he never got the chance to see how brilliant he is in this show. He knew he had done a good job, we all told him this when we were at filming, but watching it back, wow!" She went on to add: "You're a star Liam, you always were and always will be. There are a range of emotions I felt watching this, but one of the main ones is immeasurable pride, always. Miss you more every day." The Payne family have also given their blessing for the show to air. A source said: "Netflix have gone out of their way to make sure his family are happy." They concluded by saying: "Producers sent them the footage so they are fully aware of what to expect and they have given it their blessing." Netflix have ensured that Liam's legacy will be cemented on the programme and he will remain a firm key feature on the show. A source said: "Even though Liam had filmed a substantial amount of material for the show, the decision was made shortly after his passing to continue the project, honour his legacy and amazing story as a One Direction member and bring this series to audiences." ‌ The streaming giant said: "Liam Payne's family reviewed the series and is supportive of his inclusion." Meanwhile, Simon Hay, the show's shooting producer-director has since praised Liam for his time on the programme, saying Payne was "chatty and approachable," and remembered contestants names. Another member of the crew said that Liam was "charming" while filming and "Really wanted to help" those taking part. At the start of the show, Liam will also be remembered in a very moving tribute. Host AJ says: "When we came together to film Building The Band, we never imagined we'd soon be saying goodbye to our friend, Liam Payne. "Liam is a guest judge in later episodes and through his presence we see his deep love for music and his unwavering commitment to helping others find their voice. It is through that spirit that we dedicate this series to Liam and his family." An official synopsis from Netflix describes the premise of Building The Band, saying: "Building The Band brings together talented singers for a truly unique competition show where building the perfect band is all about chemistry. ‌ "The singers are in complete control as they seek to form their very own bands in individual 'booths' without ever seeing each other. All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit. What will happen when the bands finally meet, and looks, choreography, and style come into play? "With incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal — to find the next great music band — the stage is set for an unforgettable experience." Building The Band is to be released on Wednesday, July 9.
