Occasional reminder that I profoundly object to views of the owner of this site, and what he has facilitated it becoming, and so I'm now only posting regularly in the blue place as @illuminations.bsky.social

@TheRSC I (and perhaps others) am about to set out from London for the #FairMaid matinee today; can you give us an update on whether the performance is going ahead, please?

Lots to look forward to from @BFI in 2024, highlights of which have just been announced -- but notably not a single mention of anything to do with television bfi.org.uk/news/bfi-programm…
Here’s what we’ve got coming for audiences in 2024

‘What do we clean the costumes with? Vodka!’ Inside Britain’s panto powerhouse

With 10 shows on and 1m tickets sold, Evolution are panto gods. But how do you work a giant? What will 50kg of glitter cover? And why did a bench almost cause a riot?

A smart column on responses to #Saltburn from @adrian_horton @guardianfilm theguardian.com/film/2023/no…
Is Saltburn the most divisive film of the year?

Is Saltburn the most divisive film of the year?

I so wanted to go to today's memorial for the late, great David Mellor (but I've sprained my knee). A wonderful, generous man + a brilliant, original scholar. I hope colleagues and friends have an excellent afternoon, and I will raise a glass to him later. sussex.ac.uk/broadcast/read/…

@UKRI_News @ahrcpress is so so important for research funding, but there's something weird here. How does this claim with this this page from @Tate which says Whaam! 'has been on almost constant display since it was acquired in 1966'? tate.org.uk/art/artworks/lic…
