Jay Slater's devastated family to make documentary about teenager's death as they seek the truth about his final hours
Plus, Netflix have confirmed my exclusive tale that an A-list actor would feature in the second series of The Gentlemen JAY DEATH PROBE Jay Slater's devastated family to make documentary about teenager's death as they seek the truth about his final hours THE family of Jay Slater are making a Channel 4 documentary about the teenager's death after paired up with a team of TV producers with expertise in the field.

A TV insider said: 'The team will be given incredible access to the family as they go on the hunt for hard facts about what happened today and possibly pursue justice for the teenager. 'That includes being granted permission to film at his funeral, as well as conducting extensive interview with Jay's loved ones. 'The hope if that in highlighting their plight and battle it might help with their search for the truth. Advertisement 'Producers also want to dismiss and broach some of the many online theories and gossip that accompanied news of his death and see how the family have coped in the face of such torment.' The documentary team have been tracking every turn in the story of Jay, which last week took its most breathtaking twist during the inquest into his death. A coroner adjourned the proceedings so that police could hunt down key witnesses who have so far proved elusive - witnesses who may have crucial information which may shed light on Jay's death. It's been almost a year since he went missing after attending a music festival on the Spanish Island.

Line of Duty's Martin Compston joins ITV's most unmissable tense 2024 drama, see first look of new season
Last year, Red Eye was hands down one of our favourite shows and now it's just been confirmed Line of Duty's Martin Compston will be heading up the cast for season two. Released in April 2024, the dramatic ITV thriller saw Richard Armitage star as Dr Matthew Nolan, a British expat who is extradited back to China on murder charges. The majority of the series takes place on a plane, with Detective Hana Li (Jing Lusi) brought onto the plane to oversee Nolan's transfer. Despite a somewhat happy ending, Richard Armitage won't be back for another season, instead we'll see Compston working alongside Detective Li in a yet undisclosed role. While we don't know too much about his character yet, we have had a first look image released. In the image Compston stands side by side with Lusi, and he's wearing a black coat over grey trousers and a white shirt. The image was shared on ITV's Instagram and is captioned: "Sneak peek of Red Eye series 2 🎬. Jing Lusi is back, joined by Martin Compston to solve a new high-stakes conspiracy ✈️." See the image here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by ITV (@itv) While the photo doesn't give much away about his role it does appear he'll be working alongside Detective Li to solve the new conspiracy. And it's safe to say fans are very happy to see Martin be involved in the second season, with one Instagram commenter writing: "Yay, loved the first series. Even better Martin's in the next one!" While another said: "Oh interesting 🤔 looking forward to seeing 👀 Red 👁." And another added: "The first series was great can't wait for the next series specially with Martin Compston 🔥." Though Richard Armitage isn't set to return, the rest of the main cast including Lesley Sharp as Madeline Delaney and Jemma Moore as Jess Li, Hana's sister and a journalist are making a comeback. As for the release date, the series is currently in production so we'll be waiting a while to see it on our screens.
