David Ireland is an Irish playwright with a reputation for writing hard-hitting drama such as The Fifth Step, Ulster American and Cypress Avenue, but director Max Elton is reviving a very different play by him, Most Favoured, which can be seen at Soho Theatre in London over the Christmas period. BTG David Chadderton spoke to David about the play and his influences as a writer, as well as how his love of Shakespeare began in a Blackpool guest house at the age of 9 and why he wants to write romantic comedies and feels he couldn't face watching some of his earlier plays now. Most Favoured, starring Lauren Lyle and Alexander Arnold, will run at Soho Theatre in London from 11 December 2025 to 24 January 2026. (David Ireland photo credit Tommy Ga-Ken Wan)
Taran, Jamie, Dan and Joe break down this weekends PLE offering from the WWE. It's WAR GAMES! Also, the lads review their visit to Blackpool to watch Live Wyre Wrestling.
Joy finds Tony in low spirits at Bridge Farm, dreading the thought of Christmas and what would have been John's fiftieth birthday on New Year's Eve. He tells Joy they had a row shortly before Tony's vintage tractor overturned and killed John. After Tony goes to see the beavers being released at Rewilding Ambridge, Joy tells Ruth and Pip they should cancel her idea for a Christmas village event. It would feel heartless after what Tony's told her. Ruth suggests asking Pat and Tony what they think first, though. And when they ask Tony he thinks a Christmas Tractor Run through Ambridge sounds wonderful, but gets them to agree to consult Pat before they go ahead and start publicising the event. Alice catches Rex up with what happened in Blackpool, then says she's going to film the beaver release for Phoebe. Rex and Kirsty decide to get on with it, even though Justin's not there. Tony arrives just in time, before the beavers disappear into the woods, and Kirsty and Rex hug each other. Then Alice realises she's only filmed three seconds, though Kirsty points out there will be footage from the enclosure cameras. Justin finally turns up, in time for cake if not beavers. Later, Kirsty and Rex worry about Justin's commitment, before he disappoints again by not showing any interest in footage of the release. But Alice is delighted when Rex offers to send her the footage, so Phoebe and Martha can see the beavers. Emotional Alice then hugs Rex, before it gets awkward and he goes.

Welcome to episode 234 with Andy Ellis, who is an actor, voice actor and film maker known for his roles in This is England, The Walk In and Supertato. He is also acting coach at Scene to Screen Acting School in Manchester. Andy found a passion for acting in high school and it was almost by chance that he landed a part in Shane Meadow's BAFTA winning film ‘This is England'. He went on to star in a number of film and television productions as well as reprising his role as the lovable ‘Gadget' in ‘This is England' television series. In this episode I chat to Andy about growing up in Manchester, getting in to acting and why it's particularly hard for working class people to find work in the creative industries. We chat about the coaching side of his work and how acting can help people to get in touch with their emotions, be part of a community and practice being vulnerable in a safe space. And we chat about dealing with rejection and navigating the feast or famine nature of Andy's work, how going to counselling and learning to open up helped him to find a way through some dark times and we also talk about his recent short film ‘Blackpool' which touches on themes of class, mental health and suicide. There's loads of This is England chat in here too and it was very cool to chat to Andy about acting and mental health and everything in between!

When Edward “Eddie” Forrester vanished from his Blackpool home on 1 September 2023, it was clear something was very wrong.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Alun Francis OBE - Chief Executive of Blackpool and The Fylde College and Chair of the UK Social Mobility Commission - for a wide-ranging conversation about further education (FE), the importance of pedagogy in post-16 education, and what genuine upward mobility looks like in real communities. Alun traces the origins of his FE reform work (including the early “Teaching for Distinction” collaboration with Tom) and explains why knowledge, practice, and assessment must be tightly aligned across vocational programmes - from hair and beauty to motor vehicle and nautical training. He argues that inclusion is achieved first and foremost through everyday instructional design (“who remembers what, and who gets to think?”), and welcomes qualification reforms that prioritise retention and end-point assessment. The trio also unpack Alun's place-based view of social mobility - valuing skilled work, health, family and belonging, not simply income - and his contextual stance on pastoral care: compassion matters, but the core job is great teaching that changes life chances.Alun Francis OBE is the Chair of the Social Mobility Commission and Principal and Chief Executive of Blackpool and The Fylde College. Blackpool and the Fylde College is an award winning organisation and is one of the largest and highest performing further education colleges in the country. It is pioneering a new approach to Further Education and Higher Education delivery with Blackpool Council, called “Multiversity Blackpool” which sits at the heart of local regeneration plans. Alun has thirteen years of experience in further education, having previously led Oldham College. Prior to this he had a varied career which has included a range of public services, local government, area-based regeneration, youth work and education, including primary, secondary and higher education. He has a strong interest in the economics of what is now referred to as “levelling up” and sees FE colleges as making a strong contribution to addressing this challenge. He received an Order of the Order of the British Empire for service to education in the 2021 New Year's Honours List.Tom Sherrington has worked in schools as a teacher and leader for 30 years and is now a consultant specialising in teacher development and curriculum & assessment planning.

A remarkable win for United and a remarkable sub appearance for Regan Linney at the weekend, as his injury and extra time hat-trick secures a 3-2 win at Reading and sends United into the next round of the FA Cup where they'll face another League One struggler in Blackpool.Are there anymore words left we can use to describe the brilliance of United's top scorer?

In this darkly fascinating episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore the bizarre world of Victorian starvation contests and the tragic tales of the Starving Brides of Blackpool—young women who became public spectacles in a disturbing blend of endurance, showmanship, and societal obsession with purity. Then, Jethro takes us back to 17th-century England for the unsettling trials of Thomas Hogg and George Spencer, where superstition and Puritanical paranoia turned alleged sin into criminal conviction. Were these men victims of early witch-hunt hysteria—or living symbols of a community's moral panic? Expect laughter in the darkness, uncomfortable truths, and that signature Box of Oddities blend of macabre history, weird culture, and unexpected humor. Learn more about your ad choices.

Blackpool is a town built on lights and laughter, a place where families once came for the arcades, the tower, the sea air. On a cold night after Halloween 2003, 14-year-old Charlene Downes set off through the town centre and didn't come home. The posters went up, the cameras were checked, and then the rumours began. What followed would expose something far darker than a missing-persons case.SPONSORS -Air Doctor: Get noticeably cleaner & healthier air with up to $300 off with promo code “MORBIDOLOGY” at: http://airdoctorpro.comGusto: Gusto is an online payroll and benefts software built for small businesses.

In this episode of The Widow Podcast, I speak to Sam Southern, suicide prevention and bereavement manager at Solace at Empowerment Charity in Blackpool. Sam shares her personal story of losing her husband Glen to suicide in June 2020, during the height of the COVID pandemic. He was 46 years old, and together they had six children, the youngest just two and five at the time. Sam talks about the shock and trauma of losing a partner to suicide, the complex grief that followed, and the stigma that still surrounds suicide loss. She also explains how blogging her experiences online became an unexpected lifeline, connecting her with others who truly understood. Today, that same community spirit drives her professional work supporting people bereaved by suicide. In this conversation, we discuss: • The unique challenges of grieving a partner lost to suicide, including guilt, anger, and unanswered questions • How stigma and silence around suicide complicate grief and isolate families • Why asking directly about suicidal thoughts can be a powerful step in prevention • The importance of peer support and online communities in surviving loss • How language matters – why saying “died by suicide” helps reduce stigma • Suicide statistics in the UK, and why more awareness and training are urgently needed Sam's openness helps break the silence around suicide bereavement and offers comfort to those facing similar heartbreak. Her story is a reminder that connection and conversation can save lives.

On this episode of Bringin' it Backwards, Adam Lisicky sits down with Henry Cox, frontman of Boston Manor, for an honest, no-frills conversation about how a kid from Blackpool, England went from drumming in jazz band and playing school musicals to leading one of modern rock's most dynamic acts. Henry opens up about his unlikely entry into music—being the kid without a musical family, drawn into the world of drums and early 2000s hip hop via grainy basketball highlight reels. From there, he shares stories of forming Boston Manor, roughing it on early UK tours, and that surreal moment when a record deal with Pure Noise Records opened the door to international touring—including America's legendary Warped Tour. Henry dives deep into the making of Boston Manor's new album, explaining the personal growth (and even parenthood) that shaped the ambitious double album, with themes that travel from emotional darkness into the hope of new beginnings. He also offers invaluable advice for aspiring artists—stressing the importance of taking time to find your sound, not rushing to release music for the sake of the internet, and focusing on what truly moves you. You'll hear why Boston Manor's music has evolved from teenage experiments to arena-ready anthems and why authenticity, experimentation, and resilience have been at the heart of Henry's journey. If you're looking for an honest peek behind the scenes of a band making it work—triumphs, setbacks, and all—this episode's for you. So grab your headphones, hit subscribe, and hear what it really means to bring it backwards with Boston Manor's Henry Cox.
