Martin will be teaching during the pandemic at the BBC as BBC Bite Size returns. The programme begins next Monday 8th but Martin will make his appearance between the 25th and 26th June and will be celebrating Shakespeare with other RSC actors including Niamh Cusack, Bally Gill, Natalie Simpson and Jamie Wilkes.

A Confession received only one – although a big one – nomination for Best Mini Series at BAFTA’s TV. The ceremony will take place next July 31st but with no in person attendance due to the pandemic.
It’s a pity Martin wasn’t nominated for his impressive portrayal of DS Stephen Fulcher.
Here’s the full list of nominees:
Martin appears in what would seem to be another album selection for Q Magazine but from the same time as the last issue that Q published with his selection.

We finally have an air date for Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads: a total of 12 films that will be available from Tuesday 23 June at 9pm UK Time.
Martin will be delivering “A Chip In The Sugar”. Here’s a first look:
And here is the official BBC Press Office tweet with the other actors that are participating in this exciting project.
A short but sweet message from Martin, from Central.
Great news for all the cast and crew (and fans) of Breeders as it has been picked up for a second season!
Martin Freeman said in a statement: “So pleased we get another go at Breeders. I reckon the next one will be even better. It’s such a pleasure working with this team… we’ll see you all soon. Well, not soon. But at some point, honest.”

As we mentioned some time ago, Martin is going to be hosting his own radio show for 2 weeks starting next Sunday 14th on BBC Radio 6 Music at 2pm for 2 hours.
Here is Martin with a new hairstyle posing for this (sadly too short) radio show.
As always you can listen to the show live from the BBC Radio 6 Music website or you can listen to it afterwards from the iPlayer.
