Anne Fine gave our Distinguished Guest Lecture at the PLS AGM in 2004 and here we reproduce her talk in its entirety. Anne muses on how she discovered Larkin as a teenager who couldn't resist poems with swear words in, but also how she came to see the connections between Larkin's poetry and her own life- especially The Trees- as well as her admiration for Larkin the professional writer as a fellow member of the ‘business.' Anne is best known for children's books, but she also writes for adults. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and she was appointed an OBE in 2003. She has won the annual Carnegie Medal twice and she also won the Guardian Prize, Smarties Prize, two Whitbread Awards, and she was twice Children's Author of the Year. From 2001 to 2003, Anne was the Children's Laureate in the UK. In 1987, Anne published Madame Doubtfire, which became the classic Twentieth Century Fox movie Mrs Doubtfire, starring Robin Williams.

The film stars Robin Williams, Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, and Robert Prosky, about a recently divorced actor, Daniel Hilliard (Robin Williams), who dresses up as a female housekeeper "Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire" to be able to interact with his children. The film has been a favourite of Mark's and of his family since he was young and in his opinion it is Robin Williams' best film and also testament to his extraordinary and unparalleled gift as an actor and as a wonderful human being - and his presence will always be sadly missed. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message

The story is about a failing voice actor named Daniel Hilliard who had lost his job and throws a birthday party for his son behind his wife Miranda's back. It ends up with them getting a divorce and Daniel only allowing to see his kids once a week. Wanting to see them more often, he asks his brother, a makeup artist, to help disguise him as a old British house nanny named Mrs. Doubtfire. Meanwhile, an old flame of Miranda named Stuart Dunmire returns to her life and tries to reconnect again. When the movie premiered, it became a massive success making over $441 million dollars out of a $25 million dollar budget receiving decent reviews from critics. Roger Ebert claimed that it was similar to Tootsie, but nowhere near as clever or as realistic. It currently has a 71% rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite a lot of people loving it.

Poet Daljit Nagra and crime writer Val McDermid discuss capturing different forms of speech, a sense of place, and politics - in a conversation organised with the Royal Society of Literature and Durham Book Festival, and hosted by presenter Shahidha Bari. Plus, how the medieval fable of Reynard the Fox has lessons for us all today. As a new translation and retelling by Anne Louise Avery is published, she joins Shahidha to discuss the book with Noreen Masud - a BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker from Durham University. Based on William Caxton's translation of the medieval Flemish folk tale, this is the story of a wily fox - a subversive, dashing, and anarchic character - summoned to the court of King Noble the Lion. But is he the character you want to emulate, or does Bruin the Bear offer us a better template? Reynard the Fox, a new version with illustrations, is published by the Bodleian Library, and is translated and retold by Anne Louise Avery. Daljit Nagra is the author of British Museum; Ramayana - A Retelling; Tippoo Sultan's Incredible White-Man-Eating Tiger Toy-Machine!!!; and, Look We Have Coming to Dover. Val McDermid is the author of several crime fiction series: Lindsay Gordon; Kate Brannigan; DCI Karen Pirie; and, beginning in 1995, the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series, which was televised as Wire in the Blood.

156: Childcatchers and Trunchbulls - Portrayals of Abuse in Children's Fiction   Something that all the best Mid Grade or Junior Fiction does, is portray an authentic child's experience of the world, whilst still couching the more difficult aspects in terms that a child can process. This is never more true than in the case of various types of abuse that children may unfortunately be subjected too. However, many adults find such portrayals difficult to access because they are 'cartoonish' and don't deal factually with what's happening. There is also the child censorship issue as to what it is appropriate to include in a children's book. This week the dragons take a look at why difficult topics are presented the way they are in children's fiction. Why is it that children need that different portrayal that doesn't grip most adults in the same way? Why are portrayals of abuse and bullying so often paired with fantasy elements? How is it that some books contain a subtext accessible only for people who can look with a child's perspective? And why is it important that these unpleasant realities are reflected in children's literature at all? After all, isn't reading about escapism? On the slab this week Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian, The Tulip Touch by Anne Fine, Telling the Sea by Pauline Fisk, the Harry Potter series (naturally) and many more.   Title Music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

It's a run-by fruiting! After an extended unintentional break due to what we deem as the curse of Mrs. Doubtfire, Radaptations is BACK with an episode you're sure to enjoy! We read the 1987 book Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine and watched its classic 1993 adaptation starring Robin Williams and Sally Field. In this episode, we talk all about the charm of Robin Williams and how this is actually a film about a man trying to murder Pierce Brosnan with cayenne pepper while his complicit brother watches idly from afar. So grab your tea (one lump or two, dear?), and enjoy! Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @radaptations, and discover other amazing women-hosted shows using the tag #LadyPodSquad!
