If you've managed to watch any of the excellent seventh series of Black Mirror yet, you might have spotted our super sub Ben Bailey Smith popping up there... and just for you he's collared his fellow dystopians Charlie Brooker and Emma Corrin for a chat about the mind-bending anthology's latest iteration. Brooker is the writer and creator of the show, which has been sending sci-fi shivers down our spines since it first hit British TV screens in 2011, before going global with Netflix in 2016. So for over a decade, “it's all a bit Black Mirror” has been the phrase on everyone's lips whenever real-world technology makes another ever-so-slightly terrifying leap forward. Emma Corrin stars in episode three of the new series, ‘Hotel Reverie', in which a cutting-edge filmmaking technology called ReDream allows modern day actors to star in high-tech remakes of classic films. Actor Brandy (Issa Rae) steps into the world of a 1940s movie—where she meets Corrin's golden age star Dorothy. Charlie and Emma chat to Ben about Hotel Reverie and the rest of the brand new series. They talk golden age Hollywood, the shipping forecast, and erm... bowling? It goes places. Listen now for the whole story! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Following 2021's ‘Spencer', it's Knight's second collaboration with director Pablo Larraín. Ben sits down with Steven for an in-depth chat about the exceptional career that's seen him become one of Britain's most prolific and best-known TV & film writers.

Lisa ( Lolly Adefope) and Des ( Fergus Craig) address the issue of equality in football, although judging by some of the calls coming in, there's still a long way to go. Bobby (Ben Bailey-Smith) suggests making it more like Love Island, Derek (Ed Gamble) explains why only the male about the male body can be perfect for football, and Jordan Young ( Tom Rosenthal) returns to express his own unique brand of support for women everywhere.  Des riles up a female caller ( Lou Sanders) by saying equal pay in the women's game isn't possible given market forces, though backtracks on the idea once he finds out he's paid less than his co-host. Starring Lolly Adefope, Fergus Craig, Jessica Fostekew & Helen Cripps Also featuring: Ben Bailey-Smith, Lou Sanders, Beth Rylance, Lloyd Griffiths, Tom Rosenthal, Glenn Moore, Travis Jay, Lucy Jenkins, and Ed Gamble Written by Rhys James & Mark G Smith Produced, Engineered and music by Tom Jenkins Executive Produced by Tayo Popoola Directed by Mark G Smith Created by Tayo Popoola A Furious Styles Production, for Keep It Light Media.  Learn more about your ad choices.

“I just got offered I'm A Celebrity for the third time… I've said no to all of them… I'm not tempted at all!' Jimi's back with another fantastic conversation, this time with rapper, actor, comedian, and screenwriter - or should we just say polymath - Ben Bailey-Smith AKA Doc Brown! Ben talks ghostwriting for one of the world's biggest rappers, why he's turning down TV work, and the benefits of having an alter ego. Plus, he opens up on struggling to fit in with music cliques because of his heritage, his open door policy during Notting Hill Carnival, and why he's moved back to North West London.

This week, Mark hosts the show alongside Take fave Ben Bailey-Smith. Ben sits down with one of Hollywood's finest actresses Laura Linney to discuss her sentimental comedy-drama ‘The Miracle Club', which follows a group of Dublin women in 1960's Ireland as they embark on a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to Lourdes. Mark offers his own thoughts on the film, while also giving his take on ‘Blackberry', a Glenn Howerton-starring biographical drama about the rise and fall of the world's first smartphone; ‘Silver Dollar Road', Raoul Peck's latest documentary about a Black family's decades-long legal fight to maintain ownership of their coastal property in North Carolina; and ‘The Fall of the House of Usher', a Mike Flanagan-helmed Netflix horror miniseries loosely based on the Edgar Allan Poe short story of the same name.

Why Fleabag is obsessed with sex or why Walter White is always in his underpants? ‘Shrink the Box' is where actor comedian Ben Bailey Smith and psychotherapist Sasha Bates put their favourite fictional characters such as Shiv from Succession, Omar from the Wire and Ross from Friends on the couch to analyse why their behaviour causes them so much drama. Sasha and Ben explore why these characters make certain decisions, what would happen if they made different ones and what we can learn from their mistakes.

Full Transcript here pna1977.wordpress.com Celebrating Teachers: Making a difference, written by Gary Toward and Chris Henley, is a feel-good celebration of all that is great about teachers and teaching – and an exploration of the difference teachers make and how they do it. Forewords by Ben Bailey Smith (aka Doc Brown) and Sir Anthony Seldon. Gary Toward and Chris Henley believe that teaching is the best and most important profession. Now, you might argue that it would be medicine that should take that accolade – as medics save lives and mend people. But teachers create lives and ‘make' people. They, in fact, create medics! This book celebrates the superhero of the classroom: the teacher. Teachers make a difference, and often that difference is life-changing. In this book, Gary and Chris look at some of the many cases where such a difference has been made and examine exactly what it was that made such an impact on the life of the young person – and they also highlight the key approaches that teachers might want to try out in their own classroom, with their own pupils. The authors link the real-life case study stories to what educational research and cognitive science tell us, and point the way for all teachers to adopt, adapt and develop these effective strategies and approaches in their own practice. And, in sharing these inspiring stories, Gary and Chris hope to offer an antidote to the negativity that too often circulates in the media around education and the teaching profession. An uplifting and insightful read for all teachers and educators.

The classic memoir of an 18th-century British former slave, and leading figure in the abolitionist movement, Olaudah Equiano. Introduced by David Olusoga, author of the highly acclaimed Black and British. Kidnapped and sold into slavery at the age of 10, Olaudah Equiano's memoir caused a sensation when it was first published in 1789. The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano is the true story of his life, from his 10 years of service as a slave in the British Navy to his experiences - after having purchased his freedom twice - as a freed Black man living in 18th-century England. Equiano would go on to be a leading figure in the anti-slavery movement, boosted by the success of his memoir, which became a best seller and went through nine editions in his lifetime. This new edition of the landmark memoir features a foreword by historian and best-selling author David Olusoga (Black and British), bringing this long-overlooked classic back into the spotlight, and showing his importance, which has been too often neglected, for the story of the abolition of slavery in Britain.
