Something remade
Call My Agent, the Francophone comedy about agents working in the film industry in Paris, has now been remade in the English language.
Ten Percent moves the action to London and features actors including Jim Broadbent and Helena Bonham-Carter.
Call My Agent has been one of the most successful French exports in recent years and is currently on its fifth season with a feature film to boot. It’s available on Netflix too but Ten Percent is made by Amazon Prime as it seeks a muscle it’s way in.

Something bog standard
Some happy timing for presenter Manchán Magan, who has been exploring Ireland’s complex relationship with the peatlands of Ireland.
An Fód may benefit from the current ‘turf wars’ plaguing Leinster House but the series also looks at the problems caused by burning turf and how peatlands work as a carbon store.
When’s it on? Thursday at 8pm on TG4
