Well I am very excited to see this! We were also hugely influenced by Knightmare and I can say from experience that working with Hugo Myatt is one of the world's great pleasures!

If you’re ever confused, I stand with @BoyGeorge

“It works perfectly. It was a tremendous mood-setter. By then, the audience’s pulse rate is up a couple of beats.” – Cubby Broccoli, on the 007 gun barrel opening sequence.

The BBC is ending You and Yours after more than 50 years, although it says a replacement consumer programme is planned this is a real shame.
Consumer journalism matters: it challenges poor service, exposes scams and gives people a voice.
We need MORE consumer-rights coverage, not less

People discuss endlessly where the line sits between antisemitism and anti-Israel. But sometimes, there is no line at all: such as calling for an intifada outside the office of a leading Jewish organisation on Oct 7 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqev…
My thoughts are with the Jewish community and the families of the Nova victims on this sad day. #WeWillDanceAgain

This week we mark 3 years since the #October7th massacre. TAU lost 124 students, staff, alumni, and family members on that day and in the ensuing wars. Together with the people of Israel everywhere, we mourn their loss among all those who perished. May their memory be a blessing.

We will be playing my version of 'We Will Dance Again' at 4.20 am tomorrow morning on Boy George FM. It will be 6.20 in Israel. We will play it again later but I want to honour the victims of the Nova Festival. If you want to hear it maybe get an early night. Tomorrow is a special and very sad day. Never forget!

That wording genuinely disgusts me. “The safest way possible for all”? John isn’t a danger to anyone.
My son has Tourette’s and has vocal tics that can be extremely offensive. Is he somehow a danger to people because a neurological misfire causes him to involuntarily say words that make them uncomfortable?
I’ve said it before. Tourette’s is the ultimate test of inclusion. It’s easy to preach acceptance when a disability is comfortable and convenient. The moment Tourette’s does what Tourette’s actually does, far too many people suddenly decide the person with the disability is the problem.
John shouldn’t be treated as a safety risk because of an involuntary vocal tic.
This outcome only makes sense if you are the type of person who believes you are ‘unsafe’ when exposed to people’s words; in this instance symptomatic of a well known medical condition. What has happened seems to be that the person with a condition recognised as a disability is themselves vulnerable to a public flogging by people who should know better, rendering their physical presence in a room with them best avoided. Tells you quite a lot about ‘progressive’ society today.
