@Bilal0701_ Yes! I imagine he’ll be great. David McKenna who plays Piggy is going to be Digory Kirke in the Greta Gerwig Magician’s Nephew.

@scriptwren I saw Jacks actor is Draco Malfoy in the new Harry Potter and uhh that’s perfect 😂

just binged that Lord Of The Flies miniseries and the young actors playing Piggy, Ralph, Jack, and Simon are absolutely going somewhere

@ankurkumardutt5 @exilehive Ah! I haven’t seen it!

@scriptwren @exilehive Loki

Calvin blowing her phone up and she’s on the dance floor two stepping with Loki. My type of carrying on

@ghostfacesfilms My teens watched it and told me about it- no chance I can actually see it myself, it sounded heartbreaking. They cried buckets!

@scriptwren Im half way through the first episode and cant stop thinking about how sad ep 4 is going to be :(

The BBC casted the most adorable kid to play piggy in the new lord of the flies series, im not prepared for the last episode omg

@effoff1988 He’s really good in LOTF. A natural

The utter flex this kid, David McKenna, is about to deliver on the screen acting scene. His TV debut is the acclaimed limited series adaptation of Lord of the Flies, adapted by Jack Thorne (Adolescence). His film debut will be Greta Gerwig’s Narnia. BOTH proper co-lead roles.

@chipstuart67 So many of theirs are great. What a debut though

@scriptwren Same as me. Killer track back then. Still is

I was really too old for this (had just nudged into my 30s) when it came out but I loved it. Still do.

@cookiem016 Honestly 😆

@scriptwren Living the dream..

I have stopped working. I nearly have planned my whole week (good job I am 4 lessons down due to BH) I think I deserve the next 2 hours off. That is my weekend. 2 hours tops before bed to eat and watch some telly. Bit of a swizz really. Ah well.

@saniyafatma1278 Oh yes

Would you give up your window seat on a plane to a fellow passenger with a cat if asked, just so the cat could look out the window? For the cat's sake.

@ThexyBeatht_2 Haha it is!

@scriptwren Bc it is 😂💖

I really dislike people here who don’t interact with their replies. What’s the point of even being here if you’re too good to talk to people who take the time to interact with your posts? I understand that it’s hard to reply to every single comment. But zero? GTFOH

@Nelliefarmhouse @siobhanworld I nearly went for Waterloo Sunset!

@siobhanworld 60s - Waterloo Sunset The Kinks 70s - Night Fever Bee Gees 80s - Everybody wants to Rule the World Tears for Fears 90s - Doo Wap (That Thing) Lauren Hill

If you had to choose one song from the 60s to 90s which instantly tells you which decade you’re in, what would it be? I don’t necessarily mean the most popular song but the one that is quintessentially of that decade. My choices: 60s - The Twist by Chubby Checker 70s - Pretty Vacant by Sex Pistols 80s - Wired for Sound by Cliff 90s - Wonderwall by Oasis Snooker fans can play along too!

@ThexyBeatht_2 I find it quite rude!

@scriptwren Sometimes they get 5 replies on a thread and don’t bother to acknowledge a single one. So lame!

@rider45 I do about 15 hours a week across 3.5 days

@scriptwren How many lessons in total?

@ankurkumardutt5 @exilehive Which one?

@scriptwren @exilehive But his character is so frekin annoying

@Dickwith2dogs Sick of him asking me, tbqhwy

Same lol 😆

@ThexyBeatht_2 There’s one guy who ALWAYS does this and he’s got fewer followers than me. Come on, man! Make the effort 😆

@ThexyBeatht_2 Yeah I feel like this too. I forgive them if they have millions of followers but come on, if you are in the thousands you could try and talk to some of us! Inflated ego. I. tend to unfollow after a bit.

@josephpoots @misspaulalondon I don’t any more! When I was a Londoner

@scriptwren @misspaulalondon your fortunate to have a selfrodges near you

M&S stops using tape measures for its bra fittings - and staff must size women by EYE. How utterly stupid! dailymail.com/news/article-1…

@LFK_TeachEdu @HiddenYorkshire (I know the characters are symbolic but I did actually shed a tear when we read the bit where Curley’s wife is killed)

@scriptwren @HiddenYorkshire That’s cool. I’ve not had the chance to teach it.

I've just read Of Mice and Men for the first time since high school and I'm going to be very woke for a moment because my reading of it has changed quite significantly since then. Yes, Lennie is just big and friendly and doesn't know his own strength and wouldn't hurt a fly etc etc but the whole plot - and audience sympathy - hinges on a physically intimidating, mentally disabled man repeatedly grabbing and holding onto women's clothes. Yes, we know he doesn't mean anything by it, he just wants to touch the purty clothing; but the women don't know that, and the audience is conditioned to sympathise with Lennie and not the women who are terrified by him. Curley's Wife doesn't even get a name, and she's a whore with red lipstick anyway. And it's not an isolated incident. Lennie did it at Weeds, which is what got him and George kicked out of there, and he did again to Curley's Wife. Now imagine that you're one of the women suddenly cornered by a hulking creature of a man who grabs you and doesn't let go and tells you how he loves your red dress, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. That's terrifying. That is where my locus of sympathy sits. Of Mice and Men is a complex book, but I find myself increasingly uncomfortable with the way the audience is conditioned to sympathise and associate with Lennie.
