The qualities that attract us while we're starry-eyed teen- agers usually are not what we're interested in once we're a little bit older and a whole lot wiser. For some people, though, the flame of a young romance never really goes out. "Last Tango in Halifax," the critically acclaimed British romantic drama that airs on PBS on this side of the pond, is back with its third season premiere Sunday, June 28. Anne Reid ("Coronation Street," "Hot Fuzz," 2007) and Derek Jacobi ("The King's Speech," 2010, "Gladiator," 2000) star in this delightful drama as a pair of septuagenari- ans who had been childhood sweethearts, but haven't seen one another in six decades. Both now widowed, they reconnect using the Internet and discover that their feelings for one anoth- er are as strong as they were 60 years ago. It's a sweet story that sounds almost too good to be true, but "Last Tango in Halifax" has been praised by critics for its realistic depictions of an older generation and of the trials and difficulties that any romance must work its way through — no matter how many grey hairs are involved. Sarah Lancashire ("Coronation Street") and Nicola Walker 'Last Tango in Halifax' returns to PBS ("Four Weddings and a Funeral," 1994) round out the main cast as the lovebirds' respective adult daughters, a pair of women who were the catalysts for their par- ents to reunite. "Last Tango in Halifax" is a favorite of critics for a good rea- son: its realistic writing and amazing acting make for a show about an older generation that never feels forced or fake. The third season gets underway Sunday, June 28, on PBS. Entangled entertainment: Disney does a lot of things well, but its animated films are cer- tainly one of its crown jewels. The mouse-mascotted empire of all things entertainment fre- quently rules the box office with its full-length animated features, and 2010's "Tangled" was no exception. It shouldn't be much of a surprise, then, that the Oscar-nominated film is getting its own spinoff TV series. Coming to Disney Channel in 2017, the recently announced animated series will reportedly be set between the events of "Tangled" and its short sequel, "Tangled Ever After" (2012). Perhaps most exciting, though, is the fact that Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi will be repris- ing the roles they played on the big screen. Moore ("The Princess Diaries," 2001) will be returning to her role of Rapunzel, the classic fairy tale maiden with impossibly long hair who has been locked up in a tower by an evil witch. Levi ("Thor: The Dark World," 2013), in true fairy tale style, plays the dashing rogue Flynn Rider, who's fated to rescue the trapped dam- sel from her captivity. The new "Tangled" series will follow along as Rapunzel and Flynn, along with their friends from the films, go on many an adventure throughout the king- dom and beyond. With a planned 2017 premiere date, it's certainly a long way off, but with Disney's long history of animation excel- lence behind it, it will likely be worth the wait.
