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

In this latest bonus nugget of ‘Now and Ben' goodness, our sometime super sub Ben Bailey Smith chats to legendary film & TV writer Stephen Knight. He's penned some of the most exciting scripts to hit our screens over the last three decades, from ‘Dirty Pretty Things' and ‘Locke' to ‘SAS Rogue Heroes' and, of course, ‘Peaky Blinders'. Most recently he's written ‘Maria'—a biopic of opera singer Maria Callas in her last days as she tries to rediscover her voice in time for her swan song. 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. They talk humble beginnings in British TV comedy with Jasper Carrott, and his journey from the backstreets of Birmingham and the small screen to the bright lights of Hollywood. Ben even gets a cheeky bit of gossip about the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie… Listen out for more of Ben's conversations with cinema's most exciting creative talents dropping into the feed every ‘Now and Ben'… Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

Little Women (2019) is the seventh adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's timeless novel of the same name.

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.
