On this very special episode of Mummy Dearest Podcast, Zach and Sloane unwrap season 6 of Peaky Blinders! It was um, in a word, disappointing. The season felt slow and then rushed and they gave us so much Lizzie, which no one asked for (especially not Tommy.) They gave us big character deaths, they gave us tuberculosis, they gave us opium addiction, but they failed to give us heart and soul and the stuff that Peaky Blinders fans want and need. Overall the season wasn't great but that doesn't mean we won't wait with breath that is bated for the Peaky Blinders movie which will be released in 40 years. Enjoy this special episode of Mummy Dearest and let Zach and Sloane know what you thought about the Peaky FOOKIN' Blinders! Support the show

Whilst filming on-set with her newborn son, Charlotte Riley became very aware of how the lack of childcare was detrimental to the careers of so many women and men working in the film industry. She soon recognised that the kind efforts to support her bringing her baby on set could work for the lead actor but it was not an option for the hundreds of others who form the essential production team – without which no film or programme could ever be produced.Listen to June chat with Charlotte about how her mission to improve childcare provision for the UK film industry has been a catalyst for deeper conversations on breast-feeding, menopause and ageism .

Charlotte provided us with an insight into the historic context for ‘Karens’ among many other things and we talked about stereotypes, feminism and FAQs too.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Bibiliography: In Search of Anne Bronte by Nick Holland, (2016). - As the title indicates, this book focuses on Anne but it gives a rounded view of the family and their circumstances. Wuthering Bites by Sarah Gray (2010) - In which Heathcliff is a vampire. Didn't bother to read it, but had to include it here to show the range of fan fiction. Film and televion adaptations of WH. Please forgive omissions. There are so many! Ratings out of 5 stars. 1920 - Wuthering Heights, starring Colette Brettel and Warwick Ward - silent screen adaptation - I have not seen it. 1939 - Wuthering Heights, starring Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier - 3 stars: Worth-seeing, though the content is sanitized for the Hollywood censors and the actors' looks are beautified for the tastes of the day. 1948 - Wuthering Heights (British TV adaption) - starring Katherine Blake and Kieron Moore - have not seen it. 1962 - Wuthering Heights, starring Keith Mitchell and Claire Bloom - have not seen it. 1967 - Wuthering Heights (British TV series), starring Angela Scoular and Ian McShane - 1 1/2 stars: McShane has the Heathcliff glower down to the tee. But little else about this slow-paced drama is engaging. 1970 - Wuthering Heights, starring Anna Calder-Marshall and Timothy Dalton - 4 stars: I saw this for my 13th birthday. It was my first taste of WH. My friends and I were so in love with Timothy Dalton. Nice dark perspective that maintains a lush emotional and physical violence along with the feral sexiness. 1978 - Wuthering Heights (TV series one season), starring John Duttine and Amanda Root - have not seen it 1992 - Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, starring Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes - 2 stars: Fiennes is more mean and brittle than dark and brooding, while Binoche is too refined for Kathy. 1998 - Wuthering Heights, starring Robert Cavanah and Orla Brady - have not seen it. 2003 Wuthering Heights, starring Erika Christensen and Mike Vogel - modern day loose adaptation, I haven't seen it. 2009 - Wuthering Heights (limited TV series), starring Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy - 4 1/2 stars: These 2 actors are the among the best to assay these roles. They both have the acting heft and temperment to manage the layers these characters embody. Though note to ITV, for God's and all our sakes please get some better wigs. Only someone as massively talented as Tom Hardy could overcome that mop on his head. 2011 - Wuthering Heights, starring Kaya Scodelario and James Howson - 1 1/2 stars: Director Andrea Arnold's films, while interesting, are low in energy and understated. This style does not serve a wild Gothic ghost story. The film is a faded husk. (On the other hand, many critics lauded it.)

Birmingham on Britannian toiseksi suurin kaupunki, mutta seksikkyydeltään se on tuskin kymmenen parhaan joukossa - ei vaikka sieltä on kotoisin niin Ozzy Osbourne, J.R.R. Tolkien kuin James Wattin höyrykone. Tilanne on kuitenkin muuttumassa ja siitä on suurelta osin kiittäminen 20- ja 30-luvulla toiminutta Steven Knightin luomaa gangsteriryhmää, Peaky Blindersia. Birmingham oli teollisuuden ja tavaratuotannon syntysijoja, joka vastaanotti modernin urbaanin maailman kiroukset jo kauan ennen muita kaupunkeja. Teollinen toiminta synnytti monenlaista aktiivisuutta ja ensimmäisen maailmansodan jälkeen kaupunki oli sekä monenlaisten ryhmien temmellyskenttä. IRA, kommunistit, paikallispoliisi, salainen palvelu ja kilpailevat gangsteriryhmät hakivat asemiaan. Tähän yhteyteen Steven Knight on rakentanut sukutarinan, jossa mustalaistaustaisen Tommy Shelbyn (Cillian Murphy) johtama ryhmä kohoaa ryysyistä rikkauksiin. Ensimmäinen maailmansota on vielä lähellä, väkivalta ja traumat ovat pinnassa. Knightin sarjaa on kuvattu Liverpoolin Stanleyn telakalla, mikä on antanut mahdollisuuden luoda maisema, jossa yksikään kukka ei kuki. Tunnarijakson musiikki, Nick Caven Red Right Hand antaa vihjeen äänimaisemasta, jossa hypätään suoraan särmikkääseen 2000-luvun musiikkiin: White Stripes ja PJ Harvey ja Black Keys. Steven Knight tunnetaan esimerkiksi elokuvasta Locke, jossa hän kykenee rakentamaan intensiteetin pelkästään yhden, autossa puhelimeen puhuvan miehen avulla. Tuo sama mies, Tom Hardy, esiintyy myös Peaky Blindersissa - kuten myös Sam Neill, Adrien Brody, Aidan Gillen, Sophie Rundle, Helen McCrory ja Charlotte Riley. J.P. Pulkkisen kanssa Peaky Blindersistä keskustelee kirjailija Kaisa Haatanen. Kuva: Robert Viglasky Photography

Beware of the Leopard: the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy podcast
Join Mark and the Jons as they traverse the P section of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Politics The Jons explain why David Icke is like a British Rail sandwich, and that lizards eat babies. Pondermatic The Pondermatic is another computer not as smart as Deep Thought, who in fact called it a “cybernetic simpleton”. Poodoo Poodoo is an executive from the company that built the cloning machines that created the hundreds of millions of Lintilla clones we meet on Brontitall, in the second radio series. He draws up agreements to cease to be, which are disguised as marriage licenses. Two of the three Allitnils - clones designed to be irresistibly attractive to Lintilla and her clones - “marry” two of the Lintilla clones, and thus the Lintillas are destroyed. Population It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, but not every one of them is inhabited. So there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination. Practical Parenting in a Fractally Demented Universe We live in strange times. We also live in strange places: each in a universe of our own. The people with whom we populate our universes are the shadows of whole other universes intersecting with our own. Being able to glance out into this bewildering complexity of infinite recursion and say things like, “Oh, hi Ed! Nice tan. How's Carol?” involves a great deal of filtering skill for which all conscious entities have eventually to develop a capacity in order to protect themselves from the contemplation of the chaos through which they seethe and tumble. So give your kid a break, OK?” Prak Prak is a little man with scraggly hair, given too much of a truth drug, after the Krikkit robots stole the Argabuthon Sceptre of Justice and jogged the surgeon's arm while the drug was being administered. When asked to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”, he begins to tell the court the entire history and present of the universe. Pralite monks Ford learns how to skin animals on Earth from an ex-Pralite monk. The galaxy is littered with them apparently, all on the make, because the mental control techniques the Order have evolved as a form of devotional discipline are, frankly, sensational - and extraordinary numbers of monks leave the Order just after they have finished their devotional training and just before they take their final vows to stay locked in small metal boxes for the rest of their lives.

For some, the word "patriarchy" usefully describes our social and economic system with its manifest gender imbalances in wealth and power. For others, it is trendy, pretentious nonsense. In this programme we ask whether patriarchy helps or hinders our understanding of relations between men and women in the modern world. Evan Davis asks the founders of the women only AllBright Club why men aren't allowed to be members. And we take a trip Twycross zoo in search of a matriarchal society. Studio Guests: Catherine Colebrook is the Chief Economist at the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). Charlotte Riley is a lecturer in twentieth century British history at the University of Southampton.

*Warning: This episode contains spoilers for *King Charles III. In 2012, playwright Mike Bartlett had a revolutionary idea: a Shakespearean drama about a king who had not yet ruled, King Charles III. But the road from first draft to Tony nomination was anything but easy. In this episode, Mike Bartlett joins host Jace Lacob to go behind-the-scenes of his controversial work.
Writer Mike Barlett, Director Rupert Goold + actors Charlotte Riley, Oliver Chris + Richard Goulding discuss the making of the BBC Two Drama King Charles III + pay tribute to their co-star the late Tim Pigott-Smith.
*Warning: This episode contains spoilers for *King Charles III. Mike Bartlett’s Tony-nominated play “King Charles III” imagines the contentious ascension of Prince Charles to the throne. The new monarch’s refusal to play by the rules turns nearly everyone against him—from the members of Parliament to his daughter-in-law, Kate. In the wake of the television adaption, the late actor Tim Pigott-Smith (Charles) and Charlotte Riley (Kate) explore playing the real-life royals, the ghost of Princess Diana, and “rebranding” the British monarchy.
Charlotte Riley, star of Peaky Blinders and soon to be seen playing the Duchess of Cambridge in the BBC drama King Charles III, pops into the podcupboard for a chat with her old roommate, Kat Brown, and Jo Elvin, who has never knowingly lived with Charlotte but obtained her an excellent cup of tea. And in between talking about the Royal Family's amazing work with Heads Together, and the ins and outs of playing Kate Middleton, the trio talk about some deeply important issues. So hey, is it OK... to use the same emoji over and over again; to never wear matching underwear; and is it OK to not want to travel the world?

Summary of today's show: Learning the Latin and Greek roots of English words isn't just a road map to success, it's a GPS, said one educator of The Latin and Greek Root Challenge. John and Maureen Riley of Wellesley have developed this fun program that helps children from kindergarten through eighth grade learn the Latin and Greek roots in a fun and engaging collaborative environment, leading to higher test scores and better vocabulary, not just in English, but in every subject, including science, math, health and religion. Scot Landry talks with the Rileys and Charlotte Kelly, principal of St. John the Evangelist School in Canton, about the Latin and Greek Root Challenge, how it works, the benefits it's already exhibited, and how it's spread to more than 20 schools in Boston and Chicago. Plus, see how Scot does when he's asked to take the challenge! Listen to the show: Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): John and Maureen Riley and Charlotte Kelly Links from today's show: Today's topics: The Latin and Greek Root Challenge 1st segment: Scot welcomed everyone to the show. Today's topic is the Latin and Greek Root Challenge which is being implemented in 5 Catholic schools. But first Scot discussed briefly Pope Benedict's trip to Mexico and Cuba. The Holy Father arrived in Cuba a few hours ago. Cardinal Seán is also in Cuba to be with the Holy Father and two reporters from the Pilot are in Cuba covering the visit. Scot introduced John and Maureen Riley, the creators of the Latin and Greek Root Challenge. Charlotte Riley is principal of St. John the Evangelist School in Canton, which is implementing the challenge. Scot said he heard about the challenge from John in their meetings in the Pastoral Center about the Catholic Appeal. John said this is his wife Maureen's brain child. He said a lot of educators and parents understand there's a tremendous value to the classics, looking at the Latin and Greek heritage of the English language. Sixty percent of the words in English have Latin and Greek roots. Scot said it makes you wonder why we don't spend more time on Latin and Greek in primary education. John said it used to be the case, but that faded away. In science, medicine, and law are even more rooted in those languages. John said they are trying to educate elementary school students and introduce Latin and Greek roots in a fun engaging and school-wide way that helps them understand the meaning of the roots to help them recognize words they might otherwise not know by breaking it down into its roots. Scot asked Maureen how she got the idea for it. Maureen said she's always had a fascination with education and asked herself how the kids in the inner city schools ended up with lower test scores, but how the schools with Latin in their name ended up with higher test scores. At their children's school, St. Paul's Wellesley, discussed bringing Latin and Greek into the school, but she didn't know these languages herself. She recalls seeing a movie about an inner city student who won a big spelling bee by learning how to break down words into their roots. With her own children, she was always going to their teachers to ensure the kids were being challenged. Maureen wanted to find some way to help all children. Finally she woke up one day with the idea for a board that would create a challenge for all the kids in the school. Charlotte said she sold by the Riley's enthusiasm when she met them a year ago. They were already doing a vocabulary program and saw how this could fit in. They already teach Spanish in 5 through 8, but they could include this for every grade level. John said it was important for them from the outset that this be a school wide activity, that the kindergartners would get the same roots the middle school students get and it would build community in the school. Kindergartners are being introduced the whole concept of roots and that's an important lesson at such a young age. Speaking to a first grade teacher, she told them that words come up in math and science and the students say they can figure out what they mean. There's a magic and power to words. 2nd segment: Scot said there are 20 total schools in the pilot program, including 8 in Chicago. Four or five more schools have expressed interest for next September. Scot said they have a board in front of him with words on it, including roots of various words, like tele-, micro- and -scope, and tell them what the meanings are. Then they ask them for the subsequent words to make from them like telephone and television. John said they introduce the kids to the roots and their meanings and they ask them how many words they can identify with the root. Then they remind them of the meaning and then present a new word and ask them to define it based on what they've learned. Maureen said they also give them visuals, like telling them to imagine looking through a telescope to see things far away. Throughout the week, the teacher has a board to review the roots with photos and visuals to break down the meanings of each root. The children are encouraged to write in meaning of roots as they go. There are three different level workbooks for different grades to slowly go from easy to more difficult, from concrete learning to abstract learning. Charlotte said while many of the young teachers haven't themselves had classics training, the teachers have picked them up enthusiastically and are now offering their feedback. She related a story of six and seven-year-olds children impressing other teachers on their ability to break down and construct new words. John said he and Maureen have 3 kids, 10, 8, and 6. They have been the test subjects and they really enjoy it, albeit at different levels. The kindergartner really dives into it. The second-grader and fourth-grader are showing how they can process at different levels and understand the complexity of the words. At middle school, the kids are independently looking up words online and going to the dictionary for words. Maureen said the kids get very creative in working on the words. She works every week with grade two. Each week, they do a quick review. She gives a root and they have to give back the meaning in unison and every week they have it down pat. They also do collaborative learning. They go around the class with a paper to come up with lists of words for that root. Scot said his experience of his kindergartner is that not all of them can read well at that age. How does it help a child learn to read by recognizing roots? Charlotte said they have a pre-K and K level that uses a simplified version that explains root words and the difference from a beginning sound. (T v. tele). Where they are beginning to read, the data shows high improvement across the board. As much as 18 percentage points by Grade 6. Maureen said one parent of a second-grader told her that in the grocery store the children point out Latin and Greek root words. They see a difference in the child's vocabulary. Scot said kids are natural problem solvers and sleuths. John said part of the fun is that the kids view it as a game. The parents, teachers, and principals have given great feedback. They met the superintendent of the Chicago archdiocese this past summer. Maureen said they had been asked to present the program to Sister Mary Paul, the superintendent in Chicago. She told the sister that it's almost as if when your child gets to 18 or 22 and going on the first road trip. You give them maps. Latin and Greek Roots are the maps. They don't tell you exactly where to go, but the tools to get there. Sr. Mary Paul said it's not a map, but a GPS system. John said most students, except for the youngest, get 3 roots per week over the 25-week program in a three-year cycle. They are also exposed to secondary roots on the constructed word lists that contain the primary roots. Each of those words on the list have other roots as well. They will eventually have a tremendous command of roots. Charlotte said in her 11 years at St. John's they built up vocabulary programs, especially one from grade 3 to 8. They see this as an addition in order to be able to put words together. Scot asked how important is that these are also words that will help them get into college on the SATs and ACTs. Charlotte said this is a program you don't to pass up at a reasonable cost. It raises test scores, but it's also a lot of fun. During the school year kickoff, they had the parents play the root word game. This is a fun way to learn Latin and keep it from being boring. John said in the program development they have researched high frequency standardized exam test words with the goal of ensuring that there is also a value in giving them better scores, making it fun, helping them with their future careers, and score well on tests. Scot said on the SATs, the highest possible score is 800. The average score for those who studied Latin versus those who didn't study language or studied a different language was much higher. Maureen said they are waiting for the best data on their programs which will be available after 3 to 5 years in practice. Scot said studying Latin helped him in his own studies in geometry. Charlotte said it's helping them with the study of religion. 3rd segment: Scot said the excitement of learning Latin and Greek words has helped Charlotte's student incorporate Latin into the fun of preparing for Lent. She said students have learned the Our Father and Hail Mary in Latin. She said it's helped with vocabulary in religion classes, as well as in health and science classes. Charlotte said this program is a great marketing tool for the school and in their own marketing, they include the Rileys' marketing materials as well. Maureen said her first dream is to get this program into every single inner-city school in the country to transform them and teach children the love of words. Where scores are dropping everywhere else, the kids using this program are getting better scores. Her second dream is to gather all the statistics to show that this makes a difference, to show that what they believe about it is proven scientifically. Scot pointed out that Maureen never studied Latin, but she was inspired in a way that is helping so many students to learn in a more enjoyable and quicker way. Maureen said she'd always believed that she would work in educating children some day and throughout this process, every time she encountered an obstacle she'd turn it over to God and they would overcome it. She credits God as the inspiration and the assistance of so many people that have helped them from other parents to teachers and principals to other volunteers. Scot said there are a million ideas, but it's not easy to actually implement it. It's not easy to get into schools and get onto budgets, whether Catholic or public schools. John said it's been a rewarding and exhausting experience. He said this is a little bit of the American dream, to have an idea and promote it and encourage others to take it on to help others. It's also been a labor of love, with a passion for the mission of educating children, especially in Catholic schools. He said Catholic schools are near and dear to their hearts, because they nurture the spiritual life of children. It's been an adventure and they've questioned their sanity at times. Scot said everyone who starts anything gets to a point where they feel overwhelmed or question going on, but to get to the point where it's implemented and successful, is a massive amount of work. John said you have to be reflective, to look ahead but to look back once in a while to see how far you've come. Look at how many children they've affected in two years and then look ahead to the potential impact in the future. Charlotte would tell other principals that this is a must have in their schools. She encouraged the Rileys to have a booth at the National Catholic Educators Association coming up in Boston in a couple weeks. Scot asked what makes it a must? Charlotte said it's definitely vocabulary. After testing recently, they are finding scores to be up especially among those taking the high school placement exams. Some students always do even better than the others and it creates excitement around the dinner table. Maureen said they hope that it creates good dinner conversations in the family. The kids find it fun and so they play the root challenge and stimulate further conversation. John said a lot of parents haven't been exposed to these languages and so they can benefit as well. John wanted to name a number of people who have helped from the beginning of their work and said how much they appreciate the effort and assistance from all of them.
