I saw you at Middlesbrough little theatre way back when, believe it's now just Middlesbrough Theatre, as the Jaeger theatres are no more. That's quite a good place.

Matlock bath pavilion , Bakewell town hall.

It landed yesterday and it's an absolute beaut. Thanks to all behind it.

This looks incredible, cannot wait!

This was glorious but whatever happened those fingers being sausages?

Finally the internet has a use again.

I jort to have known this would happen.

The ou is an absolute gem. For various reasons I didn't gel with uni at the usual time, through the ou I got (and mostly loved getting) my English degree. The hike in fees from 600 quid a module to 3000 almost scuppered it.

A mournful looking labradoodle gazes in a room from the doorway hoping to see my partner but only I am here to her disappointment. She is laid down on the floor.

Similar scenes.

You, along with Chris, Johnny and Aoifa were/are a class act. So very fun and very,very, very cinematic.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

And Matt Goodwin who DID NOT win

Quitting nicotine was probably easier than Facebook.

Still on insta so maybe it's not worked.

Just finished this. An absolute joy to hear two people who just love films. Some of which are futuristic prison breaks.

let me tell you this: margaret thatcher would not have stood by peter mandelson for being friends with jeffrey epstein!

she would have befriended epstein *herself*, had home over to christmas dinner several times, and knighted him against official advice!

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft! On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters. We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot! We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management.

We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous. It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026. NO to their anti-remote-work obsession to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs to top-down decisions to coercive control on our working conditions YES to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people! Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

A poster for Moonfall, a grown up film of ever there was one. In the image the moon is appearing to fall to the point that it's threatening a number of sky scrapers. Perhaps it's revenge for the hubris of humanity, building higher than it ever should.

Is it also time to reexamine responsibility of social media sites as publishers rather than them being able to wash their hands.

They're more like newspapers/TV channels than paper manufacturers.

Great article.

The link to the Bill Simmons podcast doesn't work.

Well deserved. Congrats to everyone at PMG

The extent of Renfrew Christie’s heroism, and what it accomplished, is astonishing!
