March 2025 – What We Covered This Month

We packed a lot into March, so let’s break it down. From a wild new series and big‑screen gossip to football draws, lunar eclipses, and some serious UK headlines, this month had a bit of everything.

Entertainment Buzz

Paramount+ rolled out MobLand, and Pierce Brosnan didn’t hold back – he called Tom Hardy a "wild boy with the heart of a saint" and even tossed the James Bond rumor into the mix. The show struggled to find its footing, though, with critics calling the plot flat and pacing off‑beat.

Meanwhile, The White Lotus caused a stir with its third‑season incest subplot, sparking heated debates about power and privilege. On the superhero front, Letitia Wright hinted that Shuri’s next big move is coming, possibly in an Avengers‑style showdown.

Hollywood also served up drama off‑screen. Amanda Abbington opened up about a tough stint on Strictly Come Dancing, describing bullying and a PTSD diagnosis, while Gerard Butler talked about low‑key Christmas traditions on ITV’s Lorraine and a new animated rock‑star Santa project.

In the women’s game, Manchester City beat Chelsea 2‑0 in the Champions League, propelled by Vivianne Miedema’s double. Over in the UK, the blood‑moon lunar eclipse lit up March 14, offering a spectacular red glow for anyone with clear skies.

Rugby‑loving readers saw Eintracht Frankfurt eyeing wingers Ritsu Doan and Dilane Bakwa, while the UEFA Six Nations clash between Wales and England got a free‑stream guide, complete with VPN tips for fans abroad.

Beyond the pitch, the UK faced some unsettling news.

NHS England also announced a massive central staff cut aimed at freeing up resources for frontline care.
