Stop! It's time to meet the Doctor! - Which doctor might I be talking about? I'm talking about the cult BBC series called Dr. Who, which has been a BBC serial since 1963! - But why should we want to watch a series that has been on British TV for so long? - In her return to the English Podcast with Tommy, Laura from @tesolpop talks to us about Doctor Who and the importance of this British show and how you can improve your English skills. - Despite this TV series going on for over 60 years, this is a mainstay of the BBC and British society and culture. - For Anglophiles, this is a series that you can really get into. - There are some really nice phrases and language used in this TV series for example British puns and sarcasm. - So, it's time to dive into the Tardis and do some travelling with the Doctor and listen to this episode and take your English into a different dimension!

Very few places on our planet appear untouchedby humans, but in those that do, nature is still very much in charge – and the scenery is breathtaking. In the new BBC series Wilderness with Simon Reeve, journalist Simone Reeve takes us into the heart of Earth's last great wild areas, including the Congo Basin rainforest, Patagonia, the Coral Triangle and the Kalahari desert in Southern Africa.In this episode of CultureLab, TV columnist Bethan Ackerley asks Simon about the series and his many exciting expeditions, including meeting bonobos in the depths of the Congo and a “staggering experience” trekking up the South Patagonia icefield. We hear about his meetings with Indigenous peoples and what they can teach us about living more intune with nature. And we discover why now is the time to focus on Earth's wildernesses.To read about subjects like this and much more, visit newscientist.com. Hosted on Acast.

The BBC series The Traitors is the ultimate murder/mystery game which has gripped audiences not just here in the UK but around the world.The show follows a group of strangers who are brought together to compete in a series of challenges. But what they don't know is that some of them have been chosen as traitors by the producers, and their task is to deceive and sabotage the others without getting caught. The remaining contestants must work together to uncover the traitors and eliminate them from the game, ultimately hoping to win up to £120,000.Originally created in the Netherlands, The Traitors combines elements of reality TV, game shows, and whodunnit mysteries. As the contestants battle it out in challenges, alliances are formed and broken, secrets are revealed, and tensions rise throughout the castle.We're fascinated with the programme as it highlights so many areas which we talk about in our training. From body language (what are their non-verbal cues revealing?) to their communication skills (does being defensive mark them out as traitors when they're not?)If you're a fan of the show, or if you're just interested in how human behaviour can change when we're under pressure, have a listen to the latest Body Talk podcast with Richard and Alina. We talk about the stress signals the contestants are showing, why the traitors were slipping under the radar at first, how the contestants built trust but so easily destroyed it and why certain personality types were misunderstood.

I've talked before about the podcast archive giving us a window into the past when the recognisable names of today were still figuring their artistic life out. That's very much the case with Adam Kay. With 'The London Underground' song becoming the breakout viral hit of 2005 (or at least as viral as you could manage in 2005) he started his appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe. We join his story in 2012, where his mix of songs and storytelling settled into the 'Fringe Favourite' list, with multiple years of sell-out shows in Edinburgh and across the United Kingdom. It was his first book, 'This Is Going To Hurt', that started this new period in his career. It was a Sunday times bestseller, sold over one million copies, and won numerous Book of the Year' awards. Kay adapted the book for the recent seven-part BBC Series, with Ben Whishaw taking on the now fictional role of Dr Adam Kay. His third book, 'The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out Of Patients', was published this year, following on from 2019's 'Twas The Nightshift Before Christmas'. Back in 2012, much of this was ahead of Kay. It's August and his job is to get through the Fringe. In this interview we talk a bit about his life as a Doctor in the NHS and the move into performing, when going with a ‘big four' venue was the right choice for him, and how the Fringe can benefit him for the whole year.

On June 15th 1215 one of the most important ever produced in English history, came into being in a meadow near Windsor Castle. Effectively a peace treaty, the document which came to be known as 'Magna Carta' got the Royal Seal from King John. The document was doomed, or so it should have been, being annulled almost immediately. So how come we know about it now? How is it still so important? In this week's episode, I take you to Runnymede to introduce you to the events of 1215, then we look at the document itself and how Magna Carta has been used at various times in history, including on both sides of the argument to abolish slavery. Finally, we discuss the enduring myth around what Magna Carta actually is and how that differs from our collective understanding of it and ask the question, does that discrepancy actually matter?

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 76: Suzie Lavelle Irish cinematographer Suzie Lavelle loves to be very hands on and involved in visual storytelling. From a young age, Suzie had an interest in photography, went to art school and was accepted into the renowned National Film and Television School in London. She began working on short films and features, one of which, The Other Side of Sleep, was shown at the Cannes Film Festival. Shortly after, Suzie landed her first television job shooting an episode of Dr. Who Season 7, an amazing opportunity that led to a long career on large scale shows such as Vikings, His Dark Materials, A Discovery of Witches, and Sherlock. Sherlock: The Abominable Bride is a single 90-minute long episode which takes place during the Victorian era and Suzie was Emmy nominated for Best Cinematography. Suzie was excited to work with director and fellow countryman Lenny Abrahamson on the new Hulu series Normal People. Normal People is about the often rocky, romantic relationship between Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Connell (Paul Mescal) who grew up in the same small town in Ireland. Abrahamson and Suzie worked together to create very beautiful, close up and intimate scenes between the actors, which required a small footprint, few lights and the use of a single handheld camera. Normal People is currently streaming on Hulu.

On Episode 366 of The Harold & Maudecast, Sarah and Jake review and dissect the BBC/Netflix original mini series, Dracula. Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat (Sherlock)created the series based on the 1897 Bram Stoker book. The series stars Claes Bang (The Square) as Dracula, Dolly Wells (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) as Sister Agatha Van Helsing and John Heffernan as Jonathan Harker (Eye in the Sky). Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to meet his firm's client, Count Dracula, to finalize the purchase of a house in London. Harker quickly finds himself trapped in a terrifying maze-like castle of undead and a blood thirsty vampire whose ambition is to conquer the world. Gatiss and Moffat's new take on the tale begins in Victorian Transylvania and ends with a big twist in a more modern setting--if you're fans of Sherlock, it won't be that unexpected. Many of the characters from the book are reimagined like Sister Agatha...Van Helsing (Wells) who is fantastic as Sherlock to Dracula's Moriarity. We discuss in full -- there will be SPOILERS.

This week’s guest is the founder of an incredible charity and resource for the bereaved, called The Good Grief Trust, which is pioneering the way that The UK approach grief support and resources. Lind Magistris first met her partner Graham when she played Susi in the BBC Series, Grange Hill. Graham was one of the series directors and 30 years later, purely by accident, Linda crossed paths with him once again. The pair enjoyed a loving and romantic relationship that lasted 8 years, but sadly Graham was diagnosed with a rare soft tissue sarcoma, an aggressive form of cancer, and he died five and a half months later. The grief that ensued changed Linda’s whole world. After Graham’s death she went in search for grief support through the suggested and usual avenues such as her GP. She was shocked by the sheer lack of information regarding what resources were available to her, particularly a time she needed it most. Linda began to realise that there are huge gaps in bereavement support in the UK and so began her quest to make significant improvements in the way grief is managed in Britain. The situation Linda witnessed was, that often the content and quality of the information provided to relatives by hospitals, hospices, GP's, Police, Funeral Directors, Registrars, Care Homes & Clergy is sporadic and generally depended on who is dealing with the death and where in the UK they lived. She founded The Good Grief Trust in September 2016, which strives to bring all bereavement services together around the country, ensure that everyone receives the support they need to move forward with their lives. There are outstanding many charities and organisations offering excellent support for those who have lost someone close all around the UK, but they are just not being easily found. Equally many organisations are not providing sufficient information, guidance and advice, with some offering no support at all, so many thousands of people are falling through the cracks. The Good Grief Trust brings this information altogether in one practical and easy to use website, also segmenting the information in an incredibly practical way.

Growing up, Sally Wainwright visited Shibden Hall, a historic house and park in West Yorkshire. But she wasn't taught much about Anne Lister, who had lived there in the 19th century. Years later, Wainwright learned that Lister was truly ahead of her time: a businesswoman and a gay-marriage pioneer. Wainwright tells us about ‘Gentleman Jack,' her new HBO-BBC series based on the extraordinary life of Lister.

The political season is upon us. At least in America, that is. In case you've been hiding under a rock for the last 18 months, the presidential election is closing in, with Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney. This site certainly does not stand for any type of political dogma; indeed, Sherlock Holmes is for every political persuasion. So why would we want to touch the third rail of polite conversation and delve into politics on our podcast about Sherlock Holmes? As it turns out, there are a number of political figures in the Canon and politics, both domestic and international, play a role in the plots of a few of the stories. We take a look at the influence of politics inside the Sherlock Holmes stories as well as what was happening externally at the time. In addition, we even look at one member of the Baker Street Irregulars who had something of a government post and his Sherlockian scholarship - amazingly enough, written at a very crucial juncture of our country's history. Try as we might, we were unable to find a Gas-Lamp from the archives of The Baker Street Journal that were political in nature. However, we were able to find some letters from that government servant mentioned above, which make for a very special reading.
