This year's event just got even more star-studded.
It's now less than a month until the highly-anticipated BFI & Radio Times Television Festival 2022 and new announcements are coming in thick and fast.
A list of panels and previews were previously confirmed featuring the likes of His Dark Materials, Prehistoric Planet and The Outlaws, and now the festival has announced even more additions to the line-up.
In our Martin Freeman: The Responder panel, the star of BBC One's acclaimed crime police drama will hold a Q&A about the show with writer Tony Schumacher and executive producer Laurence Bowen also in attendance.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to get a first look at upcoming Apple TV+ series The Essex Serpent, starring Tom Hiddleston and Claire Danes, with a whole episode screening, plus discussion from the author of the original book Sarah Perry, director Clio Barnard and cast members.
