Couple Christmas shopping with man saying 'I wish we didn't have to hear I wish it could be Christmas every day song everyday between now and Christmas'.
I'm sure there's a US & international equivalent seasonal earworm but this is ours in UK 🌲🙃...
Love this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She came from watford so by the time she arrived it was a full rose bush 😬
Met the future Mrs Byrne for our first date after standing for a long time with a rose in Piccadilly Circus ticket hall....having to constantly dodge between both entrance turnstiles as I wasn't sure which line she was taking 🤣

I interviewed Maureen O'Hara and joked that 'we might be related because my Mom's family name is O'Hara'.
O'Hara was just her stage name. 😭🙈
Tidal sound is way better and it's a pound cheaper per month (at least in UK). And no Ice ads or far right podcasts is a bonus.
I once sat in a room with Elon Musk. I watched, listened, waited ... This is it? This is the genius we’re all supposed to be in awe of? I remember feeling underwhelmed. Unimpressed ... mediocrity in this man and others like him is so normalized, so falsely praised - @duvernay.bsky.social
@duvernay.bsky.social fantastic acceptance speech.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads: “Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️” Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.
Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
My late Dad's absolute favorite show. He'll be queueing up at the Pearly Gates for an autograph 💔 #RIPHyacinth

Saying it with my whole chest: #OnwardWithAvaDuVernay #Substack showcases one of the world’s great filmmakers & community leader's writing: powerful, potent & timely as her screen masterpieces. Grateful to @duvernay.bsky.social for the tee & your ongoing work for justice in art, activism & beyond.
Well, that didn't escalate quickly...
I was just rewatching 1958 Dracula last night & thinking about this story-thank you for saving me the search 😀🙏🏻
Barbara Shelley is brilliant in this, going from timid to vamp with much aplomb...she said she accidentally swallowed a fang while being staked but kept on screaming-true acting commitment. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes I had the pleasure of congratulating one of my coaching clients on her primetime TV show being commissioned...the result of several years of seed sowing 🪴 Thank you for asking 🙏🏻
Thank you Aurora. 🙏🏻 I would have to say consistancy: not every seed will blossom but keep sowing and some will.
Writer Question for Parents, Grandparents, Teachers or anyone else with 3-5 year olds around: if they have a tablet (ie to watch cartoons, play games etc) what do they call it: "My tablet" or something else?
Thank you 🙏🏻
I don't know Colman personally but I have many friends who do and the stories of kindness & encouragement they share on a private & public front are myriad. A true star 💫
Thank you Elaine 🙏🏻
I’m currently researching a feature for The Stage on the role of drama schools in today’s industry.
While schools will be invited to outline the advantages of training, I’d also like to represent UK based voices who feel drama school is not the only viable route. DM or dearjohn@thestage.co.uk
Great question. I think it would be "Everyone else is in work except me." They may not express it in those words, and it's always been a feeling many actors stuggle with-but social media has amplified it expotentially.
With the UK High Court case brought by #Equity against #Spotlight ending in favour of uncapped fees, my latest piece is for the increasing number of #Actors who cannot afford to stay (or join in first place) #Theatresky
