It's that time of year again. When the summer starts to draw to an end, the nights get colder and people are ready to have some cosy evenings in to save money ahead of the winter. Autumnal paraphernalia is already being stocked in shops, and we have plenty of exciting new TV shows to look forward to as the season changes.
Strictly Come Dancing will be returning to our screens in September, and that is not the only exciting series the BBC has lined up for us. BBC Wales will be releasing their new four-part thriller, The Guest, starring Welsh icon Eve Myles, and BAFTA Cymru winner Gabrielle Creevy as the leading ladies.
The series is said to leave you "on the edge of your seat." For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter
The Guest follows Ria (Gabrielle), a woman with very little direction in life who is taken under the wing of the wealthy and independent Fran (Eve). The series follows their relationship, although the duo have hinted that not everything is at it seems.
Gabrielle told Wales Online: " It's not what you think. I think there's so many twists and turns, when I was reading it for the first time, I didn't expect it to go the way it goes, and that's like every other page.
"So I think you're definitely gonna be on the edge of your seat watching it."

The actress from Port Talbot explained: "It's just an amazing kind of thriller about two complicated women who find each other very interesting. They're both at a time in their life where they're just searching for something.
"Especially for my character, she has financial issues. Her home life with her partner isn't, you know, as it was, the magic is gone and she just wants something else. Then Fran appears out of nowhere and kind of steers her in a direction.
"She just finds this woman so intoxicating. She's just someone that she never thought she would cross paths with.
"Ria lacks a lot of confidence with who she is and what she's meant to be doing, which direction she's mean to be going in. It's a journey of self-discovery really and maybe finding out that everything isn't what it seems on the outside."
Eve Myles is back again, as yet another strong independent Welsh woman.

Eve, who is known for playing strong leading ladies like Gwen Cooper in Torchwood or Faith Howells in Keeping Faith, is back once again in a BBC series that will grip audiences.
She said: "I think that the audience are going to find themselves in a fast-paced thriller that centres on the toxic and beguiling relationship of two women that are from either sides of the track.
"It's about, you know, wealth depravity and culture, secrets and what it's like to be women in 2025 who seemly have their lives set up. Yet, as soon as you're invited into their lives and they invite each other into each other's lives, find out that it's not all what it seems.
"It's a relationship that, you know, as intoxicating as it is for them and as addictive as it is for them, hopefully, that should be for the viewer as well.

"With each episode, and with each scene, a layer comes off from these women and you start to get to know them, you start to understand them and you start to connect with them hopefully."
The Guest will be available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this Autumn.

BBC says it delayed Ozzy Osbourne documentary at family's request
The BBC has revealed it delayed an hour-long documentary about Ozzy Osbourne at the last minute at the request of his family. The film about the musician's final years was suddenly pulled from listings on Monday, with the corporation making no comment about the decision. Its scheduled screening was less than a month after Osbourne's death. It was also less than three weeks after his wife, Sharon, and their children appeared before crowds in his home city of Birmingham. In a new statement, the corporation suggested the delay had come after a request from the musician's family. 'Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time,' a BBC spokesperson said. 'We are respecting the family's wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film. The new [broadcast] date will be confirmed shortly.' The BBC had recently stated that the film would go ahead. Clare Sillery, head of commissioning for BBC Documentaries, said earlier this month that the film, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, captured 'family moments, humour, reflection and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy's fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life'. The programme is not the only documentary in the offing about the life of the late star. Paramount+ has also made a feature-length film, Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now, about his struggles since a serious fall in LA in 2019. It had been slated to run later this year. The BBC's documentary had already been completely overhauled as Osbourne's health deteriorated. It was originally envisaged as a much wider, 10-part series called Home to Roost, which followed Ozzy and Sharon's attempt to restart their lives back in the UK. It has now been re-edited into a one-off film, showing Osbourne's battling attempts to become strong enough to perform and his struggles with ill-health. Osbourne died last month, aged 76, just weeks after performing from a throne on stage at Villa Park. The singer had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. The BBC film includes interviews with Osbourne family members, including Sharon, Kelly and Jack. It had been due to air on BBC One on Monday night, but was removed from the schedule earlier in the day. The broadcaster initially stated it had been 'moved in the schedules' and replaced it with an episode of Fake Or Fortune?

The BBC has said it delayed airing a new documentary about late Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne in order to respect his 'family's wishes'. Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was due to be shown on BBC One at 9pm on Monday but was replaced with an episode of Fake Or Fortune? with the broadcaster saying the documentary had been 'moved in the schedules'.

'The new TX (transmission) date will be confirmed shortly.' The hour-long documentary will show the late singer reuniting with the band on stage as part of the Back To The Beginning farewell concert in Birmingham, which he died just weeks later, aged 76, on July 22 from a reported heart attack. The film was originally conceived as a series, announced in 2022 and called Home To Roost, and was to document Osbourne and his wife Sharon's move back from the US, where they had lived for more than two decades, to rural Buckinghamshire. Advertisement But the project 'evolved as Ozzy's health deteriorated' into the one-hour film, the BBC said. The documentary sees the story of the concert told through 'unique and intimate access to the whole Osbourne family', including Sharon, and their children Kelly and Jack.

It was filmed over three years and 'captures the extraordinary rollercoaster of their lives' as the famous couple 'attempt to complete their long-held dream of moving back to the UK', the BBC has said. Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home also captures the musician as he 'heroically battles to get fit enough to perform' and the family dealing with 'the dramatic consequences of his ill health', with Kelly quoted as saying in the film: 'Iron Man wasn't really made of iron.' Advertisement The rocker had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. Last month, fans gathered alongside Osbourne's family to pay tribute to the star as a funeral cortege travelled through Birmingham. Sharon and the couple's children could be seen wiping away tears when they arrived at the Black Sabbath bench, where thousands of tributes, balloons and flowers were left. Musicians from Bostin Brass played Black Sabbath songs to accompany the cortege, and fans threw flowers at the hearse as it passed slowly through the city. Advertisement

Tommy Fury admits to downing '20 shots a night' before Molly-Mae split
Tommy Fury has admitted he was downing '20 shots a night' and drinking to get 'blackout drunk' ahead of his split with Molly-Mae Hague. The boxer, 26, met Hague on ITV dating show Love Island in 2019 and the pair have a daughter, Bambi. Advertisement The news of their split in August 2024, just more than a year after their engagement, sparked shock and speculation he had been unfaithful. Fury, the half-brother of boxer Tyson, denies the rumours in his new BBC Three docu-series Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury, saying he started drinking heavily after injuring his hand. He said: 'The reason for our ending the relationship was alcohol.' He added: 'I couldn't train, box, lift weights, that was all gone. Advertisement 'My right hand was messed up, I was in dire pain, it's just what happens over years of impact on the hand. 'I had lost my entire identity, lost my life.' In the first episode of the show, Fury's father John says he urged Hague to leave his son, saying: 'I knew from dealing with Tyson, when the drinking started to come into play I thought 'Not again'. John Fury has said he encouraged Hague to leave his son (Nick Potts/PA) 'I did say to Molly, because she came to me, what you're best off doing with him, Molly, is walking away, because if he's not going to change himself, he doesn't think that much of you.' Advertisement Revealing how much he was drinking at the time, Fury said: 'I hold my hands up, drink got hold of me – 20 shots a night, 20 beers. 'Every day I would have a drink and I would drink to get blackout drunk, and that is what led to me not being the right partner to Molly.' Discussing how it impacted him to be unable to fight, he said: 'The only thing that made me feel like I was back in that moment of thousands of fans again was picking up and having a drink, but having a drink was what cost me my entire family. 'The reason why everything went to shit, I went through the worst year of my life, I went through a crisis, was because I couldn't fight.' Advertisement He admitted he was drunk when Hague eventually walked out, taking their daughter with her. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Molly-Mae (@mollymae) He said: 'I've never even said this before, but when they'd actually left the house, I was actually drunk at that point, so I don't actually remember it that well, which was even more upsetting. 'I woke up. I was like shit, and I was listening to probably the silence of the house for like an hour. I was like, f***. And that was the last time they've been here. 'I'm not going to lie and say I knew the feeling of what it was like when they walked out – I didn't because I was intoxicated.' Advertisement The couple have since rekindled their relationship, with Hague saying she believes their relationship is 'worth saving'. Part one of Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury is available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three, with part two scheduled for later in the year.
