A 14 year old boy lied about his age so that he could work nights and support his little sister after his parents died.
The authorities tried to charge him for illegal working. Luckily a grounded judge saved the day.👏🏻
@LucyMangan didn’t quite get the incredible acting direction and subtle brooding before fiery scenes of violence did we? theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2… Goulding would have been thrilled by the production. 3 out of 5 stars! I’d give you a 1 for the critique!!! Stick to films not TV .
@BBCiPlayer Lord of the Flies was incredible. Dark & light. Incredible photography. Beautiful direction. Great cast. Must have had an army of chaperones, teachers & parents behind them in the palm trees. Shout out to young David McKenna as Piggy/Nicky a star in the making.
Like a shot from the new TV series “Murder They Wrote” -the most faithful Traitors ever #TheTraitorsUK
Congratulations to Stephen & Rachel & the producers of the programme & @ClaudiaWinkle for making the best Series ever! #TheTraitors
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… This was not a victory for common sense it was a sad indictment for transphobia. I stand with Rose. It was her dignity that was violated. The complainants were wrong to have made this an issue, their issue. They should be struck off the NHS.
Absolute joke @bbcstrictly the public vote was truly ridiculous! #StrictlyComeDancing@LewisCopeUK should have won! What with presenters leaving! The show has is over. @Rylan taking over is an ever worse joke. Game over Strictly!

Tom Stoppard 1937 – 2025.
Today we join with writers and theatre artists across the world to mark the passing of Tom Stoppard, a playwright whose work probed the deepest human mysteries of truth, time, mortality and frailty while dazzling with wit, laughter and the buoyancy of the human spirit.
@HOME_mcr selling years of props & furniture from shows over the decades w/LibraryTheatre if not sold it will go Landfill. Not environmentally friendly “we have a charity lined up for what's left. And then sadly skip/scrap”.@ace_thenorth@ManCityCouncil help with sale & charity
My comments on a Talk TV phone-in earlier today were phrased poorly and I unreservedly apologise for any offence caused, which was not my intention.
The point I was making is that many British TV adverts have gone DEI mad and are now unrepresentative of British society as a whole. This is not an attack on any group but an observation about balance and fairness in how our country is portrayed on screen.
A study commissioned by Channel 4 as part of its Mirror on the Industry project, found that Black people were featured in more than half of adverts in 2022, up sharply from 37 per cent in 2020 following the Black Lives Matter movement. By contrast, Black people make up around 4 per cent of the population in England and Wales, according to the 2021 Census.
Representation in advertising should reflect the diversity of modern Britain, but it should also be proportionate and inclusive of everyone. My comments were made in that context, and I stand by the principle that equality should mean fairness for all.
