The “droughtlander” has lasted for over a year, but at long last Starz’s epic time-traveling drama is returning on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. Et for its third season. Diehard fans of the books may already have a general idea of events that will happen, since this season is based on Diana Gabaldon’s “Voyager,” the third book in the series. Some of the information gathered from interviews and official Starz materials below, however, will offer clues as to when they will happen, without any major spoilers of course.

Here’s what you need to know before tuning in on Sunday:

Where We Left Off

With an impending battle threatening to harm her pregnancy, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) had to leave Jamie (Sam Heughan) behind in the 18th Century, believing that he will die in battle. She went back to the 1940s and resumed a life with Frank (Tobias Menzies...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder… and the beard grow longer.

New photos from Outlander‘s upcoming third season detail the years that Claire and Jamie spend apart following her return to the 1940s and his participation in the Battle of Culloden. While neither Mr. nor Mrs. Fraser seem particularly happy to be so far removed from the love of their lives, Claire at least seems… comfortable as she and Frank settle into their new home.

Jamie, meanwhile, ranges from unkempt and worried (carrying Fergus in his arms) to resigned and shackled (standing with Lord John Grey, played by new...

“A. Malcolm, Printer and Bookseller.” Has there ever been a sweeter sight, Sassenachs, than the sign hanging outside an Edinburgh print shop in Outlander‘s just-released Season 3 trailer?

Och, we think no. Let’s all gaze upon it for a wee second, shall we?

If you’re someone who hasn’t read Diana Gabaldon’s novels and you don’t know why this is a big deal, no worries! Skip down to where we tell you it’s safe, because there are big spoilers ahead.

Ardent readers of the Outlander series, have you been wondering about the face of Lord John Grey?

Worry no more! A very handsome Australian by the name of David Berry has landed the role for Outlander Season 3, which will depict events from the Voyager book.

Here's a little bit about the role, according to Starz:

He’s a steadfast and honorable British subject, torn between a finely-honed sense of familial duty and a strong moral compass of right and wrong.

He is boyishly handsome with an upper class rearing — the consummate gentleman.

However, a scandal from his past has relegated Lord John to an undesirable position as governor of a desolate prison in Northern Scotland.

Thank goodness he has a strong moral compass. Because you guys, Jamie is going to prison. Again.

Here's a little shower of news to quench your thirst: Australian actor David Berry has joined the cast in the pivotal role of Lord John Grey. Berry's character, the governor of the prison holding Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), is a "a steadfast and honorable British subject, torn between a finely-honed sense of familial duty and a strong moral compass of right and wrong," according to Starz. The character, who is familiar to readers of Voyager, the third book in Diana Gabaldon's series, is described as the "consummate gentleman," but a scandal from his past has landed him as the head of the Northern Scotland...

Ferne McCann is being lined up to replace Lisa Snowdon on Capital FM. The 43-year-old model recently announced her departure from the breakfast show she co-hosts with Dave Berry and 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Ferne, 25, is one of the favourites to step into her shoes. However, she faces competition from 'Made In Chelsea' star Lucy Watson, 25, and model Lilah Parsons, 27. A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''Lisa's job is one of the hottest vacancies around. ''It's not just a daily radio gig to a million listeners - it means playing host to some of the hottest...

He's widely considered to be the favourite for the job, but Sam Smith has again flat-out denied he's voicing the Spectre theme.

The singer has said he'd "love to do it" but confirmed he's in the dark about who's behind the theme for the next Bond film.

"I actually have no idea. People seem to think I'm doing it but I have absolutely no idea what's going on," Smith told Capital London Breakfast Show hosts Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon.

"I'm being deadly serious. I really think I would know by now!"

The 'Stay With Me' star went on to tip another singer for the job, saying: "I heard Ellie Goulding was going to do it, I heard loads of different things. It's definitely not me."

Goulding is no stranger to lending her vocals to film scores, after recording 'Love Me Like You Do' for the recent Fifty Shades of Grey movie.

Ed Sheeran just proved he sounds amazing singing pretty much anything. The "Thinking Out Loud" crooner added his signature sound to Christina Aguilera’s "Dirrty" during an appearance on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on Tuesday -- and it was amazing! The 24-year-old singer even asked "The Voice" judge to watch his performance on Twitter, writing, "Oi @xtina I covered you." We love Ed's stripped down rendition of Xtina's popular track -- check it out in the video above! Sheeran is set to perform at the Brit Awards on Wednesday, where he's also been nominated for British Male Solo Artist, MasterCard British Album of the Year, British Single of the Year and Best British Video.

If you invite Keith Lemon into your house you're asking for trouble - and this week's Through the Keyhole celebrities discovered just that.

This weekend's episode sees panellists Craig Charles, Fearne Cotton and Dave Berry trying to work out "who habitates in a house like this".

But Keith is, as always, causing havoc as he tours the stars' homes.

In one house, the neat freak owner insists on guests wearing hotel slippers - but Keith leaves muddy footprints over the pristine cream carpets.

As if that wasn't enough, he then tries to shave a clue into one of the owner's pigs... but the porker is wise to his actions and refuses to let him come anywhere near.

In another house, Keith decides that one of the rooms needs a makeover and in true Changing Rooms style, he begins to paint a kitchen wall dark blue - but runs out of time and leaves it half-finished.

The Strictly Come Dancing team have apparently contacted Kelly Brook's ex-lover Thom Evans about taking part in the 2014 series.

Evans would be following in the footsteps of fellow rugby stars Austin Healey, Ben Cohen, Matt Dawson and Gavin Henson if he took on the BBC reality show.

The Sun is the source for the latest rumour, claiming that he has been approached for the second year in a row.

Other celebrities rumoured to be taking part this year include Radio 1 DJ Greg James, Capital FM's Dave Berry, former Xtra Factor host Caroline Flack and Andy Murray's mum Judy.

Soap star Michelle Collins has also been linked to the latest series.

The 12th run of Strictly Come Dancing will be the first series without Bruce Forsyth hosting.

Tess Daly will be joined by Claudia Winkleman at the helm.

Capital FM DJ Dave Berry is the latest celebrity linked to the 2014 series of Strictly Come Dancing.

Berry's Capital breakfast show co-host Lisa Snowdon previously appeared on the BBC One dance show in 2010.

He had been tipped to take part in a report from The People.

Celebrities linked to this year's series include soap actress Michelle Collins, Towie star Mark Wright, former Xtra Factor host Caroline Flack and Andy Murray's mum Judy.

The 2014 series will be the first run of Strictly without Sir Bruce Forsyth on hosting duties.

Claudia Winkleman joins Tess Daly at the helm of the Saturday night show.

Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli are all returning on the judging panel.

All the Strictly 2014 rumours:...

Keith Lemon will bring back his remake of Through the Keyhole for a Christmas special, it has been confirmed.

Leigh Francis's comedy character and regular team captain Dave Berry will be back to help a team of celebrity guests identify three famous faces by watching a tour of their home.

"I can't wait to suit up and come down the chimney into the homes of the rich and famous to see how they celebrate me favourite time of year for a through t' keyhole Christmas special," said Lemon.

"Whether they've been naughty or nice I'm sure I'll be leaving somet under't tree. Well if they've been naughty I'll leave it in their toilet and it will resemble a Christmas pud!"

ITV's commissioning editor for comedy entertainment Claire Zolkwer described the first series earlier this year as "a great hit" and said that she was "delighted" to have Lemon back on ITV for Christmas.

The Thought Bubble Anthology is the third annual comic book accompaniment to the Leeds Comic Art Festival which this year falls on 23-24 November. Most anthologies tend to be an even mix of good and bad stories though this year’s Thought Bubble Anthology was really enjoyable and features an abundance of absolutely brilliant comics from some of the best creators in the industry.

Marc Ellerby’s Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter/Ellerbisms crossover was definitely my favourite as he sends up his own work (autobiographical comics), comic book perceptions of non-comics readers, and digital comics all in one brilliantly written and drawn self-contained story. The final panel is perfect and this comic will have you looking up more of this artist’s work.

She sure doesn't hold back! Miley Cyrus made some scandalous revelations during a stop at London's Capital FM Breakfast radio show. Not only did the 20-year-old singer admit to visiting strip clubs, but she bragged that she's made it rain on dancers. "Have I ever been to a strip club? Yes," the former Hannah Montana star said. "How many times? I don't know. I haven't kept a tally." When asked by one of the show's cohosts, Dave Berry, if she had "ever stuck dollar bills into another lady's G-string," Cyrus replied, "Yes." "You've made it rain?" Lisa Snowdon, the show's other host, asked. "Yes," the blond...

Miley Cyrus sings about what she knows. In an interview with London's Capital FM Breakfast radio show, the 20-year-old "We Can't Stop" singer admitted that not only has been to a strip club, but she's also made it rain. In her new hit single, Cyrus sings, "To my home girls here with the big butt/ Shaking it like we at a strip club/ Remember only God can judge ya/ Forget the haters 'cuz somebody loves ya."

Other celebrities appearing on the show's panel include This Morning host Eamonn Holmes, Vernon Kay, Coronation Street actor Simon Gregson, The Saturdays singer Mollie King and Spice Girl Emma Bunton.

Meanwhile, Capital FM DJ Dave Berry has been signed up as a regular panellist.

Keith Lemon's Through the Keyhole has been commissioned for six episodes and will feature the comic creation visiting the homes of rich and famous stars around the world.

The celebrities will have to guess the identity of the famous homeowner.

"It took me a while to believe Keith Lemon had been allowed access to celebrity homes, to snoop around without them being there," said Dave Berry.

"But once I realised it was true, I knew I had...

Vernon Kay has revealed that he was caught red-handed while trying to 'steal' a memento from BBC Television Centre.

The presenter was found out by a security guard after attempting to take home a door sign, and was ordered to return it.

The sign in question was from his first dressing room during his stint as FBi host, back in 2000.

"It was a sign from my first-ever TV dressing room so I couldn't resist taking it for sentimental reasons," he told The Mirror.

"The security guard was lovely though and said he would put my name down for it if it came up for auction."

The BBC buildings in White City will close down on March 31, after being sold off for £200 million. They are to be converted into shops, offices and a hotel.

A source added: "Vernon had obviously had a good night after post-show drinks. Everyone was trying to nick stuff,...

(Emlyn Williams, 1949, StudioCanal, U)

In 1986 the Welsh-language Coming Up Roses, directed by Stephen Bayly, an American resident in the principality, was the only British movie in the official programme at Cannes, and thought the harbinger of a major revival of Welsh cinema. It wasn't to be. But Wales has a cinematic tradition, and in his invaluable Wales & Cinema: The First Hundred Years, David Berry calls the little-known The Last Days of Dolwyn "one of the most distinctive postwar contributions to the cinema of Wales" and regrets that playwright Emlyn Williams, its writer-director and star, "was not inveigled into directing again". Set in 1892, it's a powerful, poetic, elegiac melodrama about the destruction of a tight-knit community when a Welsh valley is drowned to provide water for Liverpool. Williams plays the vicious agent of capitalism, an aggrieved, anglicised Welshman who persuades the impoverished local aristocrat and her leaseholders to sell out their heritage.

A woman has revealed that she accidentally set up a blind date with her boss. Zoe rang up Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon's Capital Breakfast show on Monday (December 4) for its daily competition to win a trip to New York. The caller said: "I was fed up of being single, everyone else was in a relationship, so I thought, 'Okay, I'm just going to go online, how wrong can it go?' "So I met this guy online, we were chatting on email for about three weeks, four weeks, almost a month, and then he organised to meet for lunch - I thought, 'Oh brilliant'. "He didn't have a profile picture - this was the thing. The flirting's there, the banter's there. My boss was on annual leave that day - he's not even going to know that I'm not going to be in - give me the chance to doll up and that.

ITV has confirmed the comeback details of Surprise Surprise. The revamped show, hosted by Holly Willoughby, starts on Sunday, October 21 at 7pm on ITV1. Westlife's Kian Egan, who recently helped out on The Xtra Factor, and Capital Breakfast's Dave Berry have also joined the show as roving reporters. The revived version of Surprise Surprise was originally intended to be a one-off special, but will now air over six hour-long episodes. "What an incredible honour to be asked to present Surprise Surprise for ITV1," Willoughby said. "I can't wait to get (more)...

With the success of The Hunger Games, director Gary Ross has had a long list of hopeful suitors knocking at his door. Since he officially passed on Catching Fire, the decision about his next project has been anxiously awaited. Well, we now we have that decision: Ross officially will be directing Peter And The Starcatchers.

Ross was rumored to be involved with the project about a month ago, and today The Film Stage confirmed that he would indeed helm the movie.

The film will be based off a 2004 novel published by Disney’s Hyperion and written by Dave Berry and Ridley Pierson. The book gives the back story of, you guessed it, Peter Pan. The novel has previously been adapted into a Broadway production that has been nominated for nine Tony awards.

This film sounds like it could end up being quite good, I mean who doesn’t love Peter Pan?...

After kicking off The Hunger Games franchise with great success (the film ended up just shy of $700 million worldwide), director Gary Ross pretty much had his cream of the crop when it comes to a follow-up. With The Hunger Games: Catching Fire not on the list by his own choosing, he began to pile up a number of potentials and now we’ve got confirmation on what his next feature will be.

Deadline reports after looking at him early this summer, Disney has locked down the filmmaker to helm Peter and the Starcatchers, dropping the potential The Secret Life of Houdini at Summit Entertainment. Ross is simply waiting on the latest draft from Jesse Wigutow and once that is delivered in the fall, things would move forward. This would keep Ross in family friendly territory, but still something wildly different than he’s previously done.

For those unfamiliar with...

Every so often since 1992, an all-star crew of writers — which has included Stephen King, Dave Barry, Amy Tan, Barbara Kingsolver, Scott Turow and Simpsons creator Matt Groening — have stepped away from their laptops and notepads to play in an all-author band called The Rock Bottom Remainders. By their own admission, the Remainders have never been what you’d call great. “We’re a novelty, like a dog that can dance,” Barry recently told EW. (Bruce Springsteen once put it to them this way: “Don’t get any better or you’ll just be another lousy garage band.”) But being great...

Dave Berry had to ditch his Olympic Games tickets to present a new TV show. The 33-year-old host is appearing on Beat TV on ITV - which looks at the ''social side'' of the London Olympics - and while he is appreciative of the work, he admits he was upset to miss out on seeing the women's beach volleyball. He said: ''I was offered some tickets to the women's beach volleyball, but because of the live show I can't go. ''So from an Olympics point of view, Beat TV has been the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me,...

Gary Ross shocked the world by directing one of the year’s most wildly successful films, The Hunger Games, and then opting out of coming back and making its sequel. What could he possibly have to do that’s more important than making another bajillion dollars by directing Jennifer Lawrence shooting arrows at people? So far, we’re not exactly sure. He’s become attached to a biopic about the life of famed magician Houdini, but there’s no concrete word whether or not that’s actually going to be his next job. And now another possibility has popped up. THR is reporting that the director is currently in talks to helm an adaptation of the children’s novel “Peter and the Starcatchers” over at Disney. The book, which was written by Dave Berry and Ridley Pearson and has already been adapted into a successful (it won five Tonys!) stage production, is...

After exiting the battlefield that was The Hunger Games, Gary Ross may be swallowing some pixie dust for a live-action psuedo-prequel to Peter Pan. THR lets us know that the director is in talks with Disney to helm Peter and the Starcatchers. The studio recently hired newcomer Jesse Wigutow to adapt Dave Berry and Ridley Pierson’s 2004 novel, which gives the backstory to the iconic figure of Peter Pan. The Broadway adaptation of the novel has already been nominated for nine Tony Awards and winning five of them.

This attachment comes as no surprise, as Ross has been known to heavily switch up genres for his project, after helming Seabiscuit and Pleasantville. Considering he also succesffuly launched a franchise that will certainly bring in billions of dollars, one can bet he has his cream of the crop when it comes to what he wants to direct. There’s no telling...

Seven has announced its cast for A Place to Call Home, the new 1950′s drama from the maker of Packed to the Rafters.

The cast will be led by Crownies star Marta Dusseldor, with Noni Hazlehurst, Brett Climo and Frankie J. Holden.

They will be joined by newcomers David Berry, Arianwen Parkes-Lockwood, Craig Hall, Abby Earl and Aldo Mignone.

Creator Bevan Lee said: “It is above all a ripping emotional yarn about a woman fighting to find a place to call home and a wealthy family being challenged by a changing Australia. In learning to live again, Sarah brings new life and inspiration to all around her, especially the Bligh family.”

Seven’s head of drama Julie McGauran added: “A Place to Call Home is a sweeping and grand production and our most ambitious yet. Casting has been a joy. We’ve assembled the most outstanding group of actors. The...

London, June 26: Singer Heidi Range says no man asks her out for a date and she also does not have the courage to ask men out.

"I never get asked out. I wouldn't ask a fella out either - that's probably why I have only been on one date since I was 20," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

The 29-year-old was in a eight-year-old relationship with TV and radio presenter Dave Berry but called it quits in December 2011.

Now she does not waste time over.

Heidi Range claims she never gets asked out by men. The Sugababes singer - who split from TV and radio presenter Dave Berry in December 2011 after eight years together - has revealed her dating life is almost non-existent because men never invite her out on dates and she would never pluck up the courage to take the initiative. The 29-year-old blonde beauty told new! magazine: ''I never get asked out. I wouldn't ask a fella out either - that's probably why I have only been on one date since I was 20!'' ''I don't really give it that much thought. It's not...

The 2011 Nebula Awards were handed out this past weekend, with Jo Walton’s Among Others taking home the top prize for Best Science Fiction Novel released last year. Meanwhile the Neil Gaiman penned Doctor Who episode The Doctor’s Wife won the Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation, out shining Hollywood films as Hugo and Midnight in Paris. The Freedom Maze by Delia Sherman took home the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy Book.

Real Steel and Night in the Museum director Shawn Levy will helm The 39 Clues, an adaptation of the popular Scholastic book series. The series revolves around the Cahills, a powerful family who count Napoleon and Houdini among their relatives. The movie is framed as an epic family adventure about two ordinary kids whose discovery that they are part of the world’s most powerful family sets them off on a globe-trotting treasure hunt.

With the potential Peter Pan re-do from Channing Tatum and Warrior director Gavin O’Connor and another “dark” take with Aaron Eckhart, it seems like the character is getting some rejuvenated interest. Another related project is gearing up, as Jesse Wigutow is set to make his break-out, as Disney has hired the scribe to adapt the best-selling children’s novel Peter and the Starcatchers for the big screen. [Deadline]

For those unfamiliar with the 2004 novel published by Disney’s Hyperion and co-authored by Dave Berry and Ridley Pierson, it gives the backstory to the iconic figure of Peter Pan. The Broadway adaptation of the novel has just been nominated for nine Tony Awards, making this project a very hot commodity in Hollywood right now. And as if you hadn’t guessed, the novel is the first in a series aka it will become a franchise soon enough.

Check out the synopsis...

Capital FM has revealed the first details about this year's Summertime Ball. The music event will take place at London's Wembley Stadium on June 9, with the lineup to be confirmed shortly. "As if presenting to a packed Wembley wasn't enough to get me going, I've now heard the genuinely amazing lineup for this year's show," said Capital Breakfast Show presenter Dave Berry. "I've been sworn to secrecy by Capital, but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep it quiet on air." The concert (more)...

Home and Away Luke Mitchell has revealed that his character Romeo Smith is facing a break-up from wife Indi (Samara Weaving). The couple - who have faced various struggles since their wedding last year - may end their relationship after realising they want different things. "Romeo needs to be true to himself and follow his passion, which is surfing, but Indi wants him to put on a suit and have a 9 to 5 job, which he just doesn't want to do," Mitchell told TV Week. "They're not very happy and are at loggerheads in terms of what makes them happy as individuals." Their relationship becomes further strained when Indi's new friend Logan (David Berry) buys her expensive earrings for her birthday. "It (more)...

Usher has jokingly urged people to stop buying Adele's album. The Us singer's 2004 LP Confessions is currently the best-selling album of the 2000s, although Adele is now close to breaking that record with 21. "If I have to confess, I have to confess that I have told a few people not to go and buy Adele's album because I don't want her to go and break my record," Usher told the Capital Breakfast Show with Dave Berry & Lisa Snowdon. "No actually, I love her. Unfortunately, she's the closest to breaking my (more)...

Art designer Ralph McQuarrie, who worked on the designs for George Lucas Star Wars and its sequels, died today at the age of 82. The Indiana-born McQuarrie began his career as a designer after moving to California in the 1960s. In the mid-'70s, he was hired by Lucas to design Chewbacca and Darth Vader, in addition to other visual elements found in what would become one of the biggest box-office hits in history. "I just did my best to depict what I thought the film should look like, I really liked the idea,” McQuarrie would later tell the San Diego Union-Tribune. “I didn't think the film would ever get made. My impression was it was too expensive. There wouldn't be enough of an audience. It's just too complicated. But George knew a lot of things that I didn't know." McQuarrie also worked on The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Sugababes singer Heidi Range and her ex-fiancee Dave Berry are still ''very good friends'' despite their split. The couple were due to marry in early 2012 but called time on their eight-year relationship last autumn after growing apart, but the radio-and-tv presenter insists he and Heidi are still close. When asked if they just drifted apart, he said: ''Yeah, it's just one of those things. But we're very good friends. I'm still supporting 100 per cent (in everything she does). I like to know she's alright.'' The former couple last saw each other at the National Television Awards in London last month and...
