Virgin Media announces free upgrade for customers
Virgin Media customers are set to gain access to a free streaming service on their boxes as part of a new deal. The company has recently inked an agreement with UKTV, the broadcaster behind popular channels U&Dave and U&GOLD. UKTV's U streaming app offers viewers even more hit TV series. Currently, the platform is only accessible to those with a Virgin TV 360 or Stream box. However, it will be available on Virgin TV V6 boxes over the summer. The new contract ensures that UKTV's channels will continue to be available on Virgin TV. Read more: B&M £20 Dyson Airwrap dupe has shoppers rushing to UK stores This includes pay channels U&GOLD and U&alibi, which feature British classics such as Murdoch Mysteries, Miss Scarlet, Hudson & Rex and The Red King, Only Fools And Horses, Dad's Army and The Vicar of Dibley. The free channels - U&Dave, U&DRAMA, U&W, U&YESTERDAY and U&eden - are also included in the package. Recently, viewers have been able to access UKTV's additional internet streamed channels. The news will be a relief for television enthusiasts who have experienced several significant channel losses in the past year. Major names like The Box, London Live and most recently Eurosport have vanished from UK screens, leaving a gap in TV guides. David Bouchier, Virgin TV and Entertainment boss, stated: "Providing our customers with access to the latest and greatest TV content sits at the heart of Virgin TV. From the launch of new FAST channels to offering access to apps and streaming platforms, we're committed to curating the very. Mr Bouchier said: "This deal demonstrates the evolution of our fantastic partnership with UKTV and brings brilliant updates for our customers." Speaking at the Connected TV World Summit, he suggested that as many as 50 internet-streamed channels could be added to Virgin in the future. The company also plans to complete a transition of its broadcast technology later this year, which will result in smaller TV boxes for users. "There is no longer a need to have that cable running around the house if you want more than one set top box," he explained. "It allows us to be as kind of nimble as the S watts themselves and connect to a TV wherever it is in the home using again a great install experience that we have with Virgin Media where our engineers will ensure that your broadband travels around the home."

This Murdoch Mysteries prop master makes incredible inventions from household items
For fans of Murdoch Mysteries, the show's intricate gadgets and devices are as iconic as its gripping weekly sleuthing storyline and historical charm. But what many don't realize is that nearly every prop seen on screen owes its existence to the creative mind and skilled hands of Craig Grant, the series' longtime props master. Over 18 seasons Grant has built up an impressive catalogue of inventions. "Every single prop you've seen on the show probably touched my hands or came from my brain," he shares in a recent behind-the-scenes video shared on social media. His passion for detail and ingenuity has brought the Murdoch Mysteries universe to life, blending historical accuracy with the show's unique steampunk aesthetic. The Situation Room: A New Hub for Murdoch's Inventions Season 18 introduces viewers to the Situation Room, a brand-new set designed to serve as Murdoch's personal workshop. It's almost a museum-like display of his many devices. Among the standout pieces is a giant laser from the 200th episode (episode 1311, Staring Blindly into the Future), a device that Grant reveals is made primarily of everyday items. "A lot of this device you could buy at Home Depot, Canadian Tire — wherever — because they're just plumbing parts. Other than plumbing parts, you know, we've got an Ikea lampshade and a tea strainer." he explains. But the laser isn't the only example of Grant's ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Another of Grant's memorable creations is Murdoch's lie detector. A blend of historical inspiration and modern creativity, the machine's base originated as an Edison cylinder machine, enhanced with 3D-printed details and carefully arranged light bulbs. However, what viewers don't see is the behind-the-scenes operation. "When we're using this on set, somebody either myself or one of my team has to lie under the table and operate this thing," Grant reveals, giving a glimpse into the manual process behind the magic. In episode 1003, William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) reminds us that this lie detector, which Crabtree (Jonny Harris) calls the "Truthizer", is more aptly called the "Autonomic Response Indicator." Grant's personal favourite? A taser, or "weaponized capacitor" as it's referred to in the series. The prop was originally introduced at the end of Season 8 (episode 818, Artful Detective). "The base of this is actually a tranquillizer dart gun," he says, adding that (again) plumbing parts and creative assembly turned it into the striking steampunk invention we see on the show. As the Situation Room fills with more of Murdoch's creations, Grant's work continues to inspire and remind us of the craftsmanship behind every detail we see on screen in Murdoch Mysteries. According to Grant, "Anything can become a cool-looking prop if you treat it right."
