It was made so glorious thanks to the incredible talent of Director of Photography Elliot Millson, the superb score from @annedudleymusic.bsky.social and the most incredible and moving performances from Sarah-Jane Potts, David Ganly, plus @jessiemillson.bsky.social @ @ducesha.bsky.social

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The news about Bristol Old Vic Theatre School closing its undergraduate courses is devastating. UK arts funding is on its knees and needs help NOW. My Writing MA at BOVTS would have been nothing without the BA Actors to write for. They’re the ones I’ve stayed in touch with and hope to work with.

My grandma asked me who plays Paddington. I said Ben Whishaw. She said “goodness he’s short, isn’t he?” Turns out she thinks there’s someone in a Paddington suit which has made my day.
