DESPITE rave reviews and top ratings, the BBC has put hit drama Boiling Point on the back burner.

The four-part series followed the 2021 film of the same name and picked up eight months after the movie’s cliffhanger ending that saw irate chef Andy Jones, played by Stephen Graham, collapse with a heart attack.

But I can reveal the BBC has no plans for a second series.

A source said: “It’s not often a drama gets such love from viewers and critics but Boiling Point was such a rarity the team has been left disappointed that there’s no news on a second series. The fact is there’s still an appetite for more, it’s just making that happen.

“Boiling Point is on the shelf, so to speak, but if the right story or idea comes along then there’s every chance it could be back on screens one day.”

The series aired in October 2023 and landed a perfect score on ratings site Rotten Tomatoes.

It followed Andy, as he tried to find his place in the world without running a restaurant, and Carly, played by Vinette Robinson, who took over the reins at Jones & Sons.

It also featured new chef Johnny (Stephen Odubola) plus kitchen porters Jake (Daniel Larkai) and Holly (Hannah Traylen).

The run ended with Carly taking on a wedding booking to try to shore up the restaurant’s finances — so there was plenty of scope for more.

Let’s hope Boiling Point has a long shelf life before it reaches its best before date.

Oscar winning filmmaker Chloe Zhao, a self-confessed lifelong Buffy fan, will direct the series.

Last year, Sarah hinted she was considering reprising her iconic role, after tuning in to the Dexter prequel series, Original Sin.

She said: “I always used to say no because it’s in its bubble and it’s so perfect.

“But watching Sex And The City and seeing Dexter, and realising there are ways to do it, definitely does get your mind thinking ‘Well, maybe’.”

TWO interior design pros have revealed the home trends they can’t stand, and it’s bad news if you’ve made a certain TV mistake.

Robert Gigs and Ethan Gaskill have made a name for themselves on social media thanks to their viral videos sharing the trends they can’t stand.

Your TV should never be bigger than the console it’s on or mounted above, the pair said[/caption]

In a recent video the pair slated a popular some popular furniture trends that make any home looks tacky.

First up, having a large flatscreen TV isn’t always a winner, especially if the console below it is smaller than the TV itself, the pair explained.

Although Ethan confessed he’s been guilty of this mistake in the past, it’s a big no-no if it can be avoided.

“You don’t want to be the person who never does leg day at the gym and that’s what this looks like,” Robert joked.

And it’s not just TVs that give this “big back” effect, they noted.

Mirrors and art work on the wall should also never be bigger than the chest of drawers or console table below them.

It’s not just about size either, the pair added.

If you want your home to look luxurious you should make sure you mount your TV at the right height – having it too high, or even too low, won’t just hurt your neck but make your space look off-putting.

Next up on the pair’s list of interior design icks was a simple mistake many people are also guilty of, and that’s printing family photos onto large canvases.

The idea might be nice, but ultimately they can look cheap and blowing the pictures up to such a large size can make them look blurry too.

Robert said: “I don’t want to be at your house with your middle aged father staring at me while I’m laying on the sofa.

“I never think they’re tasteful, they’re usually blown up on canvas with no frame, which is the worst offender of them all.”

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t keep sentimental photos around your home – just avoid the large, pixelated canvases.

Instead, the duo suggested buying frames for you pictures, rather than making them so big.

After sharing the home icks on TikTok many people agreed, and one person commented: “I feel the same about family pictures.

“We got married last year and although frames it was giving shrine, so now they’re in the bedroom and just one is on the main floor.”

A second agreed: “So glad I’m not the only one who thinks blown up on family photos on canvas are weird!

“I just have a few photos of my daughter sprinkled around the house in cute frames.”

“Oh I HATE when people have ugly gallery walls with canvas photos, so, so bad,” another said.

And as for the TV slander, one said: “Everyone makes fun of my small TV, now I’m just gonna show them this video.”

And someone else said: “I feel like having a large TV as a focal point of the room in general is an ick.”

“Huge TVs are one of my biggest icks too,” another chimed in.
