Why was Tom Brady booed at Indy 500? Understanding Indianapolis' dislike of the NFL legend
The 109th Indianapolis 500 was held on Sunday, and for the first time, it was aired on Fox Network, with NFL legend Tom Brady in attendance. Tom Brady is Fox's highest-paid star, so it was understandable that the network brought him out prior to the race. But he did not have the outing he must have hoped for. As soon as the seven-time Super Bowl champion stepped out onto the podium, the crowd broke into loud boos. The former New England Patriots QB couldn't help but smile, as if he was expecting it. Watch the video here: Tom Brady was booed at the Indy 500 because it was held in Indianapolis. Brady had a long rivalry with the Indianapolis Colts and their legendary quarterback, Payton Manning. The fans in Indianapolis did not seem to like seeing the former quarterback who tormented the Colts during his legendary days with the New England Patriots, hence the booing.

Beloved British drama is getting a US remake with Emmy nominated actor set to take over iconic role as fumbling practitioner
Hit ITV drama Doc Martin is set for a US remake without Martin Clunes, who played the grumpy GP for nearly two decades. Instead Emmy nominated actor Josh Charles, famous for TV series The Handmaid's Tale and The Good Wife, will take over as the miserable medic. The Fox network will remake the iconic show, but set it on the east coast of the US instead of Cornwall. It will also change its name to Best Medicine. Nevertheless Clunes, 63, who featured in all ten seasons of the primetime hit – which regularly drew in over eight million viewers – is already well known and popular in the US as the UK show is a huge hit on the PBS Network. In the UK version – filmed in Port Isaac – Clunes plays the character of Doctor Martin Ellingham, a surgeon who quits his glittering career in London to inexplicably take up the role of GP in the fictional village of Portwenn, where he enjoyed childhood holidays. His cold and unemotional manner alienates locals while they are impressed by his medical expertise. He gradually comes to be accepted in Portwenn as more is revealed about his past – including his phobia of blood which has blighted his stellar career. In Best Medicine, the identical plot centres on Doctor Martin Best, played by Charles and described as 'a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child'. The tagline continues: 'Martin's blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he's all they've got.' In the UK version of the popular show – filmed in Port Isaac, Cornwall – Martin Clunes, 63, plays the character of Doctor Martin Ellingham (pictured), a surgeon who quits his glittering career in London to inexplicably take up the role of GP in the fictional village of Portwenn As fans of the original show will know, the locals don't know that the doctor's frosty demeanour masks a 'debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone'. Best Medicine will mark the seventh international adaptation of the British series, which has 'resonated worldwide with its humanity, originality and humour', according to President of Fox Television Network Michael Thorn. Doc Martin ran on ITV between 2004 and 2022. Clunes recently refused to reveal if he would return to the role, suggesting: 'I'm almost at the age where a GP has to retire, you see. Eighteen years of private medicine!'

The official logline of the revival is "Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter are drawn into the family's chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party."
