So good to see Jack Thorne speaking out about the crisis in TV, talking solutions like levies and ring-fenced support for UK stories and writers. We need more folks with his level of clout to speak up and find a sustainable way forward for the industry 👏

😇New Year, same me😇
Used the festive season to detox a bit from the breakneck pace the world seems to currently be moving at. However I'm coming into this year with an open mind, emboldened and, most importantly, a resolution to be brave. 2025- let's be havin' ya x
(P.S. Sonic 3 = peak cinema)

Mike Leigh imagines what a #Bond film directed by him would look like:
"The entire film would be James Bond visiting his elderly mother in a suburban house, spending a bit of time with her, and then leaving," he tells Empire.
