Dead Hot achieves the tricky balance in being a comedy thriller that delivers on both its genre expectations. With a strong narrative, and a compelling script, what really helps bring this tale to life are the performances, so naturally we were thrilled to have the opportunity to speak to three of its leading stars.
Below you can watch our interviews with Bilal Hasna and Vivian Oparah, who discuss the authenticity of the screenplay, and their on-screen relationship. They talk also about Oparah’s richly deserved BAFTA nomination for Rye Lane. Next up, in an audio interview, we speak to the esteemed comedic performer Peter Serafinowicz, a scene-stealer with brilliant timing, he discusses playing a detective, and his admiration for his promising co-stars. We also talk about shooting in Merseyside, and on that note, we can’t help but ask him about his thoughts on Jürgen Klopp leaving Liverpool…

London, Sep 4 (Ians) Manchester City head into the international break atop the Premier League, maintaining their perfect start to the season with a 5-1 home victory over Fulham.
Julian Alvarez’s opening goal for City was quickly equalized by Tim Ream. However, Nathan Ake restored City’s lead just before halftime, a goal that Fulham believed should have been ruled out for offside by Var. In the second half, Erling Haaland secured the win with his seventh City hat-trick, reports Xinhua.
Tottenham sit in second place after a dominant 5-2 victory against Burnley, who initially led with a Lyle Foster goal in the fourth minute. The match featured a hat-trick from Son Heung-min and goals from Cristian Romero and James Maddison.

Berlin (Germany), Aug 27 (Ians) Not only in Dortmund but across Germany, the media is full of reports on Jude Bellingham’s stunning achievements at Real Madrid.
Articles and photos about the 20-year-old England international are often placed near ones reporting about the unsteady times his former side Borussia Dortmund have been going through since the midfielder departed for the Spanish capital in July.
The current state of the team that threw away the 2022-23 Bundesliga title on the season’s final day gives reason for concern after a disappointing start to the new campaign, reports Xinhua.
Consistency and confidence appear like lost property for Edin Terzic’s side.
Instead of a successful promising restart, the side seems stuck in a pattern that accompanied the club since coaching icon Jurgen Klopp left for Liverpool in 2015.
Despite Dortmund having reached calm waters after years of financial turbulence, a consistent sporting breakthrough has been missing.

London, Aug 21 (Ians) James Ward Prowse had a memorable West Ham United debut, assisting twice in their 3-1 triumph over Chelsea.
The England international, recently signed from Southampton, set up Nayef Aguerd’s seventh-minute opener with a corner. Later, he provided the assist for Michail Antonio’s 53rd-minute goal, restoring West Ham’s lead after Carney Chukwuemeka’s 38th-minute equalizer for Chelsea, reports Xinhua.
Lucas Paqueta secured the victory for David Moyes’ team in injury time, converting a penalty.
In a robust response to their opening-day loss to Newcastle United, Aston Villa thrashed Everton 4-0. John McGinn, Douglas Luiz (who converted a penalty after Everton’s Jordan Pickford fouled Ollie Watkins), Leon Bailey, and Jhon Duran were the scorers in a match dominated by Villa.
Everton’s need to reinforce became more evident after the game, especially with injuries to Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Alex Iwobi exacerbating their woes under Sean Dyche.

In other early matches on Saturday, Fulham were thrashed 3-0 by Brentford while Wolverhampton Wolves went down 1-4 to Brighton.

Sheffield were comprehensively outplayed at home by Crystal Palace on their return to the top flight, but the midweek signing of Tom Davis and Gus Hamer should add more bite on the pitch, reports Xinhua.

London, Aug 11 (Ians) Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Friday confirmed that his club has come to an agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion to sign Ecuador midfielder Moises Caicedo.
The deal is worth a reported 110 million pounds ($140 million), which would be a record fee for a transfer in Britain. The fee agreed for Caicedo exceeds the £107m Chelsea paid for Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez earlier this year.
“I can confirm the (Caicedo) deal with the club is agreed, whatever that means in the end. Of course, we want the player and not just the agreement,” Klopp said at a news conference ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League opener at Chelsea on Sunday.
The 21-year-old Caicedo has yet to agree personal terms or undertake a medical examination.
However, several media reports have suggested that the midfielder has been keen to move to Chelsea, who have been unable to agree a fee with Brighton.

London, July 27 (Ians) Liverpool sold club captain Jordan Henderson to Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq for a fee of around 12 million pounds (15.5 million U.S. dollars) on Thursday.
The move puts an end to the 33-year-old’s 12 years at Liverpool, during which he made 492 appearances and won eight trophies, including the Premier League, Champions League, Fa Cup and World Club Cup, a Xinhua report said.
With the move, the midfielder will link up with former Liverpool legend, Steven Gerrard, who is the coach at Al Ettifaq, after previously coaching Glasgow Rangers and Aston Villa.
Henderson is believed to have spoken with Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp about how much game time he could expect at Anfield this season before making his move.
With Liverpool looking to revitalize their midfield after last season’s disappointing campaign, he would have played a less important role than last year.

Berlin, May 27 (Ians) Approaching the Bundesliga season’s final matchday could evoke strong emotions for Marco Reus.
Apart from the excitement gripping the entire club and millions of supporters, achieving success this Saturday could, in a peculiar way, serve as a crowning moment in the career of the soon-to-be 34-year-old forward, reports Xinhua.
Despite a lengthy career encompassing over 370 competitive games, the Borussia Dortmund striker, who has been capped 48 times for Germany, has never joined the exclusive circle of Bundesliga title winners.
A combination of unfortunate injuries and the dominance of title rivals Bayern Munich over the past decade resulted in Germany’s Footballer of the Year for 2012 and 2019 securing only two German Cup victories, in 2017 and 2019.
The upcoming encounter on home soil against Mainz, with Borussia Dortmund holding a two-point lead in the Bundesliga table, could help bridge the somewhat painful gap in Reus’ career.

At first glance, the Borsigplatz seems a rather unspectacular round-about fringed by fast-food restaurants and enterprises addressing the needs of daily life such as a laundry store, reports Xinhua.
Only when Borussia Dortmund has reason to celebrate a major title, things do change significantly. The spot turns into the center of celebrations as tens of thousands of fans gather cheering the players and coaches turning several laps before things seem to explode.
In May 2023 there again is a certain curiosity brewing as something big might lie ahead; this time coming along with a certain amount of uncertainty.
Party preparations might be in vain as the Black and Yellows must deal with the burden of depending on a misstep of title competitor Bayern Munich before having to win the second last season game in Augsburg.

Haaland scored his 35th league goal of the campaign to beat the record, jointly held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, after a pass from Jack Grealish put his side 2-0 ahead in the 70th minute of the game. City needed to win to go back to the top after Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Chelsea on Wednesday night.
West Ham offered stern resistance in a close first half, but coach David Moyes will have been disappointed at the defenders that allowed a fit-again Nathan Ake to nod City ahead in the 50th minute from a Riyad Mahrez cross, reports Xinhua.

City goes into the match five points behind the league leaders but with two games in hand, and a repeat of their triumph at the Emirates Stadium earlier this campaign would leave them just two points behind their rivals.
Arsenal fought back from 2-0 and 3-1 down to take a point against Southampton on Friday but has conceded seven goals in three games. The bad news for coach Mikel Arteta is that defender William Saliba is unlikely to have recovered from his back injury to be able to play, while a hamstring problem will sideline City’s Nathan Ake.

London, April 10 (Ians) Premier League assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis will not be involved in another game until the end of an investigation over an incident where he appeared to deliberately elbow Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson.
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (Pgmol), who governs referees in English football, said on Monday it was investigating the bizarre incident at halftime in Sunday’s 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Arsenal.
TV images show that Robertson approached Hatzidakis moments after referee Paul Tierney blew for halftime, only for the official to appear to use his elbow against the left back, who was subsequently shown a yellow card by Tierney, a Xinhua report said.
At the time the Pgmol said it was “aware of an incident involving assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis and Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson at half-time during the Liverpool vs Arsenal fixture at Anfield,” adding they would “review the matter in full once the game has concluded.

Madrid, March 15 (Ians) Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp said his side have just a ‘one percent’ chance of reaching the UEFA Champions League quarter finals, but insisted they would give everything to cause an upset against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Liverpool travel to Madrid needing to make up for their 5-2 defeat in the first leg at Anfield. Speaking in his pre-game press conference, Klopp admitted that “nobody believes” in his side’s chance of overcoming the deficit, but added that “after Anfield I said that Madrid was going to be in the quarterfinals and now I think we have to play. Even if there is only a one percent option, I would like to try.”
“It will be unlikely, but at the same time possible. If we are capable of being negatively surprised by horrible nights, we should also be able to do it positively by some spectacular ones,” said the Liverpool coach.

Madrid, March 14 (Ians) Real Madrid entertain Liverpool in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
The reigning title holders are clear favorites to progress against the side they beat in last season’s final after a 5-2 win in Liverpool three weeks ago, where they picked holes in a fragile Liverpool midfield and defense.
Liverpool have shown some signs of recovery since then, with a 7-0 thrashing of an in-form Manchester United, but Jurgen Klopp’s side was brought crashing back to earth again at the weekend when they lost 1-0 to Bournemouth, who had started that game bottom of the Premier League.
Real Madrid ended an indifferent run of form, which saw them lose to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey and draw with Atletico Madrid and Betis, with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Espanyol on Saturday, a Xinhua report said.

David Alaba had to leave the game in the first half after suffering a hamstring problem, while Rodrygo was forced out in the second half after suffering a strain high on the back of his left leg.
It looks to be impossible for Alaba to recover for Saturday’s match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, while Rodrygo will also be a doubt for that game and next week’s Copa del Rey semifinal first leg at home to Fc Barcelona, a Xinhua report said.

The Brazilian started on Wednesday due to the absence of Toni Kroos in midfield (although the German came on as a substitute), but with Kroos and Aurelien Tchouameni both fit at the weekend after suffering from flu,...

London, Feb 21 (Ians) Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp said on Monday that he believes his side’s form could have come good just in time for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 clash against Real Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday.
The repeat of last season’s final comes on the back of Liverpool’s 2-0 win at home against Everton and Saturday’s 2-0 win away to high-flying Newcastle United.
Those results follow a poor start to the year which saw Liverpool knocked out of the Fa Cup by Brighton and a 3-0 defeat against Wolves two weeks ago.
Speaking in his pre-game press conference, Klopp admitted the game against Real Madrid had come at the right time.
“I’m really happy we can play now: four weeks ago it would have been different, but life is all about timing. Maybe we’ve found our feet right in time for this game,...

Berlin (German), Feb 20 (Ians) Roles seem clearly defined when underdogs Eintracht Frankfurt cross swords with Europe’s team of the hour, Napoli.
How to prepare for a side sweeping all comers in Italy’s Serie A is one of the most pressing questions Frankfurt have to ponder before the first leg of their last-16 duel in the UEFA Champions League.
Six wins from six against Ajax, Rangers and Liverpool in the group stage and a 20-4 goal difference tell their own story in favour of the Italians, reports Xinhua.
Amid all the mind games, Frankfurt’s optimism to again beat one of football’s famous names after last season’s success against Barcelona in the Europa League seems to rest on the shoulders of a man who survived an unprecedented crash landing.
Mario Gotze has not only developed into Frankfurt’s source of inspiration but has delivered one of football’s most breathtaking stories.

Madrid (Spain), Feb 20 (Ians) Midfielders Toni Kroos and Aurelien Tchouameni have both been left out of the Real Madrid squad that left for Liverpool on Monday ahead of their UEFA Champions League last-16 first-leg tie.
The duo missed Saturday’s 2-0 win away to Osasuna with flu and neither has recovered in time for the game. That limits the options of coach Carlo Ancelotti in midfield, and the Italian will almost certainly line up with Luka Modric, Dani Ceballos and Eduardo Camavinga.
The good news for Madrid is that Karim Benzema has shaken off the slight muscle issue that sidelined him at the weekend and has been included in the squad, reports Xinhua.
Ancelotti has also called up B-team striker Alvaro Rodriguez, who impressed in a brief substitute appearance on Saturday night. The tall forward set up Vinicius Jr for a goal that was disallowed for offside and then assisted...

London, Jan 18 (Ians) Liverpool were able to put their league problems behind them for the night as they qualified for the fourth round of the Fa Cup with a 1-0 win away to Wolverhampton in their third round replay.
Harvey Elliot’s 13th minute goal decided the match in which Wolves threatened but failed to really test Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, reports Xinhua news agency.
“It is a pretty rare feeling, it feels like ages ago that we had that feeling. We had to fight hard at the end, but that’s the nature of the competition. It feels great for the moment,” said Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp after the final whistle.
His side will now travel to Brighton in the fourth round, meaning as quick return to the ground where Liverpool lost 3-0 last weekend in what Klopp described as the “worst” performance during his spell at the club.

London, Jan 17 (Ians) Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp says he is going nowhere and insists he is not being too loyal to players who are either out of form or past their best.
Speaking ahead of his side’s Fa Cup replay against Wolverhampton, which comes on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Brighton, which he called the “worst” he had seen, Klopp was asked about his side, which currently sits ninth in the Premier League table, 19 points behind league leaders Arsenal, reports news agency Xinhua.
“Either I go, the manager position changes, or a lot of other things change,” said Klopp.
“As far as I know, from what I hear, I will not go. So that means maybe there’s a point where we have to change other stuff. And we will see that. But it’s something for the future, like in the summer, but not now,” he continued.

London, Jan 16 (Ians) Arsenal strengthened their grip on the Premier League with a 2-0 win away to North London rivals Tottenham.
Arsenal’s win, coupled with the result of the Manchester derby, puts Mikel Arteta’s side eight points clear of Manchester City and nine ahead of Newcastle and Manchester United, reports Xinhua news agency.
The game was only 13 minutes on when Hugo Lloris put Arsenal ahead with the first own goal of his career after he palmed Bukayo Saka’s deflected effort from a narrow-angle into his own net.
Martin Odegaard doubled Arsenal’s lead in the 36th minute, placing a perfect left foot shot wide of Lloris after another surging run from Saka.
Tottenham tried to get back on level terms after the break, but with Aaron Ramsdale in excellent form, Arsenal were generally comfortable and results elsewhere mean Spurs’ top-four hopes have suffered an important setback.

London, Jan 15 (Ians) Marcos Rashford’s 16th goal of the season sealed Manchester United’s comeback to beat local rivals Manchester City 2-1 and put them firmly in the race for the Premier League title, just a point behind their neighbors.
Rashford poked the winning goal home in the 82nd minute following a low cross from the right to seal the win, just four minutes after Bruno Fernandes had canceled out Jack Grealish’s looping header, which had given City a 60th-minute lead, reports Xinhua news agency.
Fernandes’ goal was surrounded by controversy as Rashford, who was in a clear offside position had run alongside the ball, before the Portuguese latched onto it, but the goal was given after the Var decided he had not interfered with play.
Solly March scored twice and Danny Welbeck added a third as Brighton beat Liverpool 3-0 to move above their rivals into seventh in the table.

London, Nov 11 (Ians) The last round of Premier League matches before the World Cup is to be played this weekend and will make England coach Gareth Southgate nervous while leaving some coaches with a selection dilemma.
With just a week before the World Cup kicks off, any injury picked up this weekend, will mean missing out on the tournament, and Southgate will be hoping none of the 26 players he named in his squad on Thursday suffer any setbacks.
Meanwhile, some coaches might consider leaving out some of their internationals to save them from the risk of missing out on one of the highlights of their careers.
Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola, will have no such dilemma about striker Erling Haaland for his side’s home game against Brentford. The Norwegian won’t be going to Qatar, but has recovered from his foot injury and will lead the City attack.

London, Nov 7 (Ians) Last season’s finalists Liverpool and Real Madrid have been drawn to face each other in the last 16 of the Champions League, which will be played across February and March 2023, with the English club getting a chance to avenge their defeat in that match.
The Jurgen Klopp-led side will host the first leg of the tie at Anfield, before a return game at Santiago Bernabeu. The clash, of course, represents a rematch of last season’s final and will be the 10th and 11th meetings between the teams in history. Real Madrid won the 2021-22 final 1-0 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France to lift their 14th European title.
Manchester City, meanwhile, have again been handed a favourable tie, this time against the German side Rb Leipzig, while fellow English club, Tottenham Hotspur face AC Milan, the Serie A champions, and Chelsea take on Borussia Dortmund.

London, Nov 4 (Ians) Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp on Friday confirmed captain Jordan Henderson will be available for this weekend’s Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
Having wrapped up the Champions League group stage by beating Napoli 2-0 midweek, Liverpool will travel to Spurs for a Premier League match on Sunday.
The English professional footballer Henderson missed the 2-0 midweek win over Napoli in a Champions League game but is available for selection once again after making a swift recovery. James Milner, however, will miss Sunday’s visit to the capital after being placed in a concussion protocol having departed the game on Tuesday following the half-time interval.
Ahead of that contest, Klopp spoke to the media at the Axa Training Centre, “So, Hendo, yes, he’s available,” Klopp told his pre-match press conference.

London, Oct 29 (Ians) Liverpool will aim to reach an unbeaten milestone at Anfield when they face Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Reds can extend their run of successive home games without a loss to 30 with a win or draw against Jesse Marsch’s team. It would be their joint-sixth-longest such run in club history. In the 29 matches during the streak so far, Jurgen Klopp’s side have won 22 times and registered 17 clean sheets.
The last meeting between the sides was the corresponding fixture of 2021-22 – Liverpool won 6-0 to record their biggest ever victory over Leeds.
Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk were on the scoresheet that night – it was the first time both centre-backs in a Reds XI had scored in the same league game since September 1968, when Ron Yeats and Tommy Smith did so against Leicester City.

Pep Guardiola’s side could be without goal-machine Erling Haaland, who was substituted at halftime in midweek with a foot injury and his absence could help Leicester continue to improve their defensive record.

What would have been the biggest game of the week, a clash between Arsenal and Manchester City, has been postponed to allow the Gunners to play a Europa League tie against Psv Eindhoven, but there is still plenty on offer.
Liverpool’s home game against West Ham allows Jurgen Klopp’s men to close the gap on the top of the table after their weekend victory over Manchester City.
The game will show what Liverpool’s fitness levels are like against a rival that is improving after a slow start to the campaign, and forwards Jarrod Bowen, Gianluca Scamacca and Lucas Paqueta will pose a threat to the home defense.
There are two derbies on Wednesday, with Bournemouth at home to Southampton and Brentford entertaining Chelsea.

London, Oct 17 (Ians) Mohamed Salah’s excellent goal gave Liverpool a 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday evening to decide a bad-tempered match and end City’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
Salah controlled a long kick from Alisson before turning Joao Cancelo and slotting the ball past Ederson to decide the game as Liverpool built on Wednesday’s 7-1 win away to Rangers in the Champions League.
City coach Pep Guardiola was left furious when Phil Foden’s strike was ruled out for a previous foul by Erling Haaland, while Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp was sent off after losing his cool when his side didn’t get a free-kick in the closing stages, reports Xinhua.
Liverpool came into the game 13 points behind City following their worst start to a season in 10 years, but their defence improved considerably to take vital points that just about keep their title hopes alive.

London, Aug 30 (Ians) There are five Premier League matches on Wednesday which promise to show just how high some teams can aim this season and perhaps increase the pressure on others.
Liverpool’s home match against Newcastle United is the pick of the bunch as Liverpool try to build on their 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth at the weekend.
Jurgen Klopp still has a long injury list limiting his options for squad rotations and it’s hard to see him making more than cosmetic changes to the starting 11.
Newcastle travel after Allan Saint-Maximin’s spectacular volley gave them a 1-1 draw away to Wolves, but the talented forward will miss the visit to Anfield with a thigh injury.
That should allow club-record signing Alexander Isak to make his debut in a match which will show if Newcastle can mount a serious challenge for the top-six this campaign.

Casemiro is in line for his debut after signing from Real Madrid and will slot in ahead of the defense, while Harry Maguire will once again be watching from the subs bench — probably sitting close to Cristiano Ronaldo as Marcos Rashford leads the attack.
Southampton have improved in recent games, and United will have to be wary of their dangerman, Che Adams, who has netted four goals in the past week.

London, Aug 26 (Ians) Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hinted that the club could enter the transfer market, saying the authorities are working constantly to find the right player for the squad.
Liverpool have signed Darwin Nunez, Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay since finishing runners-up to Manchester City in the Premier League last season and a lengthy injury list has left them short of midfielders.
The transfer window closes next Thursday and Klopp said, “We are working constantly on these type of things and we’ve spoken before about why sometimes it’s not happening. Sometimes it’s expensive, sometimes not the right player, but then situations change. It needs to be the right player and we’re working. If something will happen or not, I don’t know.”
Klopp is not expecting any of his injured players to return to contention for Saturday’s home Premier League game against Bournemouth.

Berlin, Aug 26 (Ians) Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has been named the 2021-22 UEFA Men’s Player of the Year, beating team-mate Thibaut Courtois and Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne to the gong.
The France international solidified his status as the frontrunner for this year’s Ballon d’Or with victory over the pair, with the award bestowed following the Champions League group-stage draw in Istanbul on Thursday, reports Dpa. Benzema, top scorer in both the Champions League and La Liga last term as he guided Madrid to a double, netted 44 goals in 46 games across all competitions.
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti also was feted at the ceremony, beating Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp to be awarded the UEFA Men’s Coach of the Year Award.
But the headline prize was that handed out to Benzema, who will now be targeting the most notable individual prize in football.

London, Aug 21 (Ians) Marcus Rashford insisted that against big teams like Liverpool and Manchester City one needs to prove what it means to be a Manchester United player. The star forward added that he is relishing the test that Liverpool will no doubt bring to Old Trafford on Monday.
United have endured a challenging start to the new season, with back-to-back Premier League defeats against Brighton and Brentford.
But while Jurgen Klopp’s side are expected to be even tougher opponents, Rashford is just as excited to face the club’s fiercest rivals. Having been at United since the age of seven, the Academy graduate has featured in many previous meetings with the Merseysiders.
“To be honest, I feel exactly the same (as in the past),” said Marcus.
“Against anyone, you want to win but against your Liverpools and Manchester Citys, you want to prove why you play for Manchester United.

London, Aug 19 (Ians) Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits Darwin Nunez will have plenty of time to learn from his red card for headbutting Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen in the 1-1 Premier League draw at Anfield.
The Uruguay international, who arrived in the summer, was dismissed early in the second half for flooring the Eagles centre-back after the two had tangled with each other during the match.
“Provocation and definitely wrong reaction, he will learn from that. I came in and wanted to see the situation — in the game, I could not see anything so I could know what happened: I saw Andersen on the floor and Darwin walking away,” Klopp said.
“Then I saw it — yes it is a red card. Wrong reaction in the situation. Andersen wanted that, he got it but he (Nunez) made a mistake.”
Klopp pointed to the provocation the striker had received but accepted...
