Why does discussing the overlooked 1991 classic “Dead Again” feel like we’re living a past life? Maybe it’s the shock of seeing young Sir Kenneth Branagh (attempting a weird American accent) and Dame Emma Thompson. Maybe it’s Sir Derek Jacobi making us wonder if that stutter is an “I, Claudius” reference. Maybe it’s the whole romantic fantasy thing, with a Hitchcockian past intruding on a 1990s present. Jason Snell with Glenn Fleishman, Erika Ensign, Annette Wierstra, Dr. Drang and Shannon Sudderth.

For decades, illustrator Axel Scheffler has been keeping children and adults around the world entertained with his warm and witty illustrations, from the Gruffalo and Stick Man to worms with attitude, gobbly goats and smart giants. He has published more than 150 books, including collaborations with writer Julia Donaldson that have become modern-day classics, translated into dozens of languages and selling millions of copies. Axel was born in Hamburg in Germany and moved to the UK in his twenties, where he has been based ever since. We join him in his attic studio perched high above a leafy part of west London, where he is hard at work on his latest project. This one centres not on a fantastical creature with terrible teeth and terrible claws, but on a small, slightly scruffy dog who may or may not have played a role in the creation of London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Writer and actor Dame Emma Thompson has conjured up the story and we eavesdrop on a rare conversation between the two - rare because Axel generally doesn't collaborate directly with his writers. Axel also allows us to witness his unique process, from pencil sketch to finished illustration, as he creates a scene from the new book before our ears.

Highly respected British actor, screenwriter and environmental activist, Dame Emma Thompson, says her latest film challenges the 'cougar' label put on women who're in relationships with younger men. In GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE she plays a widow, Nancy, who hires a younger male sex worker. They come to form a close relationship that's both intimate and emotional. Dame Emma says in life and on screen we're used to seeing older men with younger women, but society still can't cope with the idea of an older woman in a genuine relationship with a young man. Her film credits include The Remains of the Day, Love Actually; Saving Mr. Banks; Much Ado About Nothing; Carrington; and acting and writing both Nanny McPhee movies. She talks with Susie Ferguson.

British actress Dame Emma Thompson has opened up to Jane Marwick on 6PR Mornings about sex scenes with a man more than 30 years her junior and the misconceptions women should be expected to handle juggling domestic life and a career simultaneously. Thompson is in Australia to promote her new film Good Luck To You, Leo Grande a wryly comic two-hander directed by Australia's Sophie Hyde, where she plays 60-ish widow Nancy Stokes, a retired religion teacher who has never had an orgasm. She and Marwick discussed the harm caused by depictions of conventional on-screen romance and how women "were sold a pup" about being able to juggle domestic life, motherhood and careers. "I think the 'you can have it all' thing was not only cruel but also utterly untrue, and I think we need to really re-examine all of this because it's all landed once again on our shoulders," Thompson told Marwick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dame Emma Thompson joins Jonesy & Amanda for an exclusive chat about her new film, 'Good Luck to You, Leo Grande'.

Good Luck To You, Leo Grande is a fantastic new British movie that sees Dame Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack spend a lot of time together in a hotel room. So that's exactly what we made them do again this week, with Ella Kemp (making her Empire Podcast debut) talking to the stars of Sophie Hyde's movie about an ageing woman who, having had very few positive sexual experiences, hires a sex worker (McCormack), and complications ensue. The film is frank, funny, and insightful, and their chat with Ella is similarly so, featuring Dame Emma's reminiscences about The Tall Guy, and one of the best answers we've ever had on the podcast. Hint: it features an Oscar. Then, in the podbooth this week, Chris Hewitt is joined by James Dyer and, for the first time in ages, Helen O'Hara, and truth be told, being reunited makes them go a little doolally. So, in-between answering a listener question about the film sets they've accidentally stumbled upon in a non-professional capacity, they talk about Helen's Wikipedia page, and Chris and Helen educate James about the history of the Giant's Causeway. They also discuss actual films at some point, including the week's movie news, including Lady Gaga possibly joining Joker 2 (which may be a musical???), the announcement of the Paddington 3 director, and their feelings about the official title of Knives Out 2: Benoit Boogaloo. In the reviews section, they run their eye over Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, Spiderhead, Everything Went Fine, and Last Seen Alive, and Sophie Butcher goes to infinity and beyond to help everyone get to grips with Pixar's Lightyear.

Oscar-winner Dame Emma Thompson on women's pleasure and full frontal nudity in her latest acting role in Good Luck To You, Leo Grande. Are you a 'flusher' or a ‘binner'? New research says 2.4 million tampons are flushed down UK toilets every day leading to sewer blockages and pollution. We talk to Martha Silcott who's developed a simple product to encourage you to bin and Daisy Buchanan who says more needs to be done to make a product which flushes without causing environmental harm. In 2017 surgeon Ian Paterson was jailed for 20 years after being found guilty of 17 counts of wounding with intent. Mr Paterson was diagnosing cancer when there wasn't any and cutting his patients open for no reason, performing unnecessary and damaging surgery. He also carried out unregulated "cleavage-sparing" mastectomies, in which breast tissue was left behind, meaning cancer returned in many of his patients. Ahead of a new ITV documentary Emma speaks to the whistleblower who raised concerns about Ian Paterson – Mr Hemant Ingle, and one of Paterson's victims Debbie Douglas, who is still campaigning for a change in the law to prevent anything like this from happening again. 50 years ago this month the first edition of the iconic feminist magazine Spare Rib was published. Also in that year - 1972 – and inspired by its founders, Rosie Boycott and Marsha Rowe, Carmen Callil founded the book publisher Virago which still gives a voice and platform to female writers today. Emma hears from the three trailblazing women. Can platonic love survive romantic love as we grow up? The writer Dolly Alderton on her new BBC TV series, an adaptation of her 2018 memoir ‘Everything I Know About Love'. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

Oscar-winner Dame Emma Thompson has graced our screens for four decades. As an actor, she's played all kinds of women, from her role as Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility to her heart-breaking Karen in Christmas favourite, Love Actually. But now she's taking on a different kind of acting role. Good Luck To You, Leo Grande tells the story of Nancy Stokes, a 55-year-old widow (played by Thompson) who decides to hire a significantly younger male sex worker, played by the Irish actor, Daryl McCormack. She joins Emma to talk about women's pleasure, full frontal nudity and the #MeToo movement. If you're a woman and you have a baby it's going to cost you £70,000 in lost earnings over the next decade. That's according to new research from the Social Market Foundation which is setting up a cross party commission to tackle the spiralling costs of childcare. Emma talks to Director of the Foundation James Kirkup about its findings, and one woman working as a senior mental health nurse who says she takes home just £100 per month after childcare costs. We also get the view of the Early Years Alliance, a charity that represents child minders, nurseries and pre-schools. Since 2009, the artist Kirstie MacLeod has been working on The Red Dress project. Pieces of this burgundy silk dress have travelled around the world to be embroidered by women, many of whom have been marginalised or live in poverty. It's given them a platform and an opportunity to share their story and identity. After 13 years, 46 countries and 343 embroiderers, the dress is finally complete. Kirstie joins Emma to describe the finished dress. Presenter: Emma Barnett Producer: Alison Carter Photo credit: Nick Wall © GoodLuckLeoLimited

A shopkeeper has spoken of his shock after discovering a woman had defecated outside his store. Colin White checked CCTV from the shop thinking a pet owner had failed to clean up after their pet - it was then he discovered it was human faeces. Also in today's podcast, the cost of filling up a family sized car has now topped 100-pounds for the first time. Hear from Kent fuel campaigner Howard Cox who is again calling on the chancellor to take urgent action. Dame Emma Thompson has criticised the government's plan to send some asylum seekers who've arrived in Kent in small boats to Rwanda. More than 10,000 people have now made the dangerous journey this year. The Children's Commissioner has been in Kent as part of a review into what makes a successful family. Hear from Dame Rachel de Souza who's been asked by the government to look at how mums, dads, grandparents and children are coping following the pandemic. Meantime, there's a warning children with special educational needs in Kent who are being home-schooled are 'falling through the cracks'. Figures show 465 youngsters in Kent are SEN and being taught at home - while just 193 have an education health care plan. And in sport, one of Kent's players has kept his place in the England team for the second test with New Zealand. Plus we have a tennis update ahead of Wimbledon later this summer.

Today, we're joined by one of the U.K's most celebrated actresses, Dame Emma Thompson. Activism has been a key component of her career off-screen, so we wanted to hear about her extensive work in fighting trafficking and modern slavery.From finding out a friend was kept prisoner in a local massage parlour to adopting a survivor of child slavery, join us for some incredible stories and lessons she's learned along the way.For more info, visit our website or click the links below.

Tuck in your shirt, do up your tie and brush your hair because Hugh Grant academics Oscar and Diggory are breaking down The Remains of the Day which was nominated for eight academy awards in 1994. Based on the Kazuo Ishiguro novel of the same name, the rigid, resolute and rule bound Mr Stevens (played by Sir Anthony Hopkins) cultivates a world of manners and decorum in the Darlington household. However, the arrival of housekeeper Miss Kenton (played by Dame Emma Thompson) and Reginald Cardinal (our boy Hugh Grant) threaten to upset the highly professional culture Stevens, as the home’s Head Butler, has worked so hard to foster. The possibility of romance and Lord Darlington’s sympathies toward the Nazi cause challenge Stevens’ carefully maintained veneer of servitude… Make sure you're following Taking Hugh for Granted on Instagram and Facebook (@TakingHughforGranted) as well as Twitter (@TakingHugh).

Lose your senses with Oscar and Diggory as they discuss Hugh Grant's role in director Ang Lee's 1995 Oscar-winning period drama Sense and Sensibility. When a certain Mr. Dashwood dies, he must leave the bulk of his estate to the son by his first marriage, which leaves his second wife and their three daughters Elinor (played by Dame Emma Thompson), Marianne (played by Kate Winslet), and Margaret (played by Emilie François), out of house and home. They are taken in by a kindly cousin, but their lack of fortune affects the marriageability of the practical Elinor and the romantic Marianne.

This week the girls take a trip to London at the turn of the century to visit Howard's End. This 1992 E.M. Forster adaptation starring Dame Emma Thompson brings up a lot of questions for Erin and Mary including what western is in Back to the Future 3 and how do you eat while wearing your hair down.

Last month, footballer Marcus Rashford wrote an open letter to MPs calling for them to continue funding free schools meals during the summer holidays. He called for support to a petition started by teenage campaigner Christina Adane, and within hours, the Government responded. All children eligible for free school meals in term time in England would benefit from the ‘Covid summer food fund’. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would also continue with voucher programmes. But funding would stop, Boris Johnson confirmed, after the summer. So what then? In this programme, Sheila Dillon is joined by two young campaigners on child food poverty Jani Clarke and Shane Robinson who've been hearing from young people across the UK with first-hand experiences of food poverty in their communities. They explain how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected home life and access to nutritious food. And why they are working with food campaigning charity The Food Foundation to demand more action from the UK government in their updated Right2Food charter. Sheila also asks actor and campaigner Dame Emma Thompson on why she's calling for the Government to listen to these young people. Deputy Mayor of London for Social Integration, Social Mobility and Community Engagement Debbie Weekes-Bernard explains how the pandemic has affected opportunities for families living in food poverty, and journalist Louise Tickle describes the potential long term impact on children’s' access to education and opportunities should food poverty figures rise in the UK.

Beanie Feldstein Steps Out Of Her Comfort Zone — And Into Her Childhood Bedroom Did you know it’s possible to be good at Zoom? Beanie Feldstein is remarkably easy to video chat with: constantly making eye contact, ready to smile, eager to make you laugh. Yes, she is an actor and a self-described extrovert, lover of people, and human teddy bear (the last one is her Instagram bio). Still, it’s uncanny to feel warmth through a laptop screen. Five minutes into the interview, she throws off her pastel, ribboned headband. We have both admitted it’s nice not to have to wear pants anymore to work. “I feel very, very, very grateful every day that I wake up feeling fine,” Feldstein says of our current reality. “I’m just trying to be thoughtful because I feel like that is the only thing you can really do. Just follow the rules strictly and then also bring attention to people that are helping.” It can be hard to promote art when you’re overwhelmed by a never-ending pandemic news cycle, but Feldstein, 26, is gamely talking about her latest film, How to Build a Girl, an adaptation of the Caitlin Moran novel. I ask what it was like to work on another movie about teen girlhood and the importance of friendship, a genre Feldstein mastered in Lady Bird and Booksmart. Feldstein says that it’s really a movie about forgiving yourself for mistakes and the inherent bravery in allowing yourself to change, again and again. The part of Johanna, her first leading role, has her in casual sex montages, cutting co-stars down to size, and wearing a plastic bag as an improvised bikini. (The role is also how she met girlfriend Bonnie Chance Roberts, a producer of the film and whom Feldstein has described as her first love.) “So many things made me nervous [on this film],” she says, “but whenever I got nervous, I just was like, ‘If someone had been brave enough, or had been given the opportunity, to make this and I could have seen it at 14, I would have been changed. Or I would’ve felt more accepted or more at ease way earlier in my life.” It’s not that Johanna is queer, Feldstein explains, it’s “how unapologetically the film lets her be sexual.” “I’m a very loving person, but I am known to be a bit prude,” she says. Seeing a sex scene or a particularly breast-forward outfit on the call sheet took Feldstein out of her comfort zone, but it also put her right inside Johanna’s reckless teenage head. “It took a lot to navigate those hurdles,” she says. “I feel really proud of myself because I’ve never really considered myself a brave person, but that was brave.” Two months into social distancing, recounting Johanna’s rock and roll escapades feels very far away from our current reality of FaceTiming friends for happy hour from our living rooms. Feldstein is currently back at home with her parents and staying in her childhood bedroom, followed around the house by Jackie the bulldog. I can see a bit of the white poster bed behind her, and the desk where she used to do homework is now her office. When I ask how she’s been coping, Feldstein mentions Little Fires Everywhere as well as Ozark, a series she and her mother, costume designer Sharon Feldstein, have been savoring, allowing themselves one episode per day. “We just look forward to that time every night when we’re like, ‘We get to go back to Missouri!’” Watching television is mostly escapism, and a little bit homework. “I want to take notes while I watch Ozark,” she says, half joking. “Can I Zoom a lesson with one of [the actors]?” For some 20-somethings, it would be unbearable to undergo a major professional breakthrough while retreating to the confines of childhood, but Feldstein seems to be closely in touch with her inner teen. She has favorite numbers, which she will not disclose except to say that she did spot them on a building near where How to Build a Girl was filming. Seeing them, even for a second, gave her a very good feeling. She describes acting alongside “the legendary, the queen Dame Emma Thompson” as an out-of-body experience. (“She came in wearing overalls and brought the entire crew chocolate, and it was honestly a day out of my wildest dreams.”) Besides, having one foot in the realm of girlhood gives you access to the most powerful emotions on the planet. “The most nervous I was the whole shoot was to deliver the ending monologue. [Johanna] talks about the magic of teenage girls [in it], and it always makes me teary and emotional when I think about it,” she says. I ask if she thinks it’s a bit like the concept of human beings as Russian nesting dolls, different version of ourselves all nestled together in one body, and she agrees. People aren’t static. Just when we think we know ourselves, we change again. “Acknowledge your mistakes and fold them into the identity of who you are, but they don’t have to define that identity,” she summarizes. “I so needed to hear that lesson,” she says, smiling. “And continue to hear that lesson.” Beanie Feldstein shot virtually by Tory Rust at home assisted by Sharon Feldstein.

Erin and Mary put on their best bonnets for the first installment of season two of the All My Movies Podcast. This season we are diving into all of Dame Emma Thompson's movies starting with the 1995 classic Jane Austen adaptation Sense & Sensibility.

Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle discusses The Eddy, his new Netflix musical drama mini-series set in a multi-lingual Paris jazz club, written by Jack Thorne. Dame Emma Thompson reads one of her favourite poems and discusses her new short film Extinction, made during the Extinction Rebellion protests. With cinemas closed and many film releases on hold, what power does lockdown streaming have to change the industry? After the success of Universal's Trolls World Tour as a digital-only release, it says it will continue to put films out via both cinemas and streaming after restrictions are lifted. In response, world leading cinema chain AMC has said it will boycott Universal films, makers of hits like James Bond. Meanwhile the Oscars will for the first time include digital-only films in next year's awards. To discuss the significance of this, Kirsty is joined by film critic Larushka Ivan Zadeh.

We're baaaaack! Welcome to Season 3 of The Pleasure Podcast. We're kicking off with a woman who needs little introduction. I think it's fair to say she is the nation's sweetheart. And not just because she speaks openly about bonking Jeff Goldblum with a piece of toast stuck to her bum (onscreen).Some of you may have grown up with her in Nanny Mcphee, had your hearts broken by her in THAT SCENE in Love Actually, or fell in love with her in Sense and Sensibility, Howards End, Last Christmas, or.... the list goes on. Alongside her screen acting she is known for her outspokeness, her activism, and being a general all round excellent egg. She's the only person to have won Academy Awards for both acting and writing, it's DAME EMMA THOMPSON!We spoke to Emma about how to come back to our instincts when it comes to erotica and pleasure, the sex handbook she made her daughter, why it's important never to shame your sister if you catch her wanking, and the resistance against being squashed into shapes that society wants you to be. Her take on the subtle yet ferocious power of hormones quietly blew our minds.Emma's astute ability to understand human behaviour is astonishing, and at times she becomes our therapist fit to rival Esther Perel.We hope this conversation inspires you, gets your brain box buzzing, and helps you (just a little) to come back to what pleasure means to you.*We would love to continue the conversation and hear from you: email us at hello@thepleasurepodcast.com or tweet us @ThePleasurePod.Please do rate, review, and share the podcast, we hear it helps other people find us!*Social Media:Naomi Sheldon: @NaomiSheldon1Anand Patel: @therealdranandFollow us at @ThePleasurePod and visit us at www.thepleasurepodcast.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Things that have been shot: Evel Knievel from a cannon across a canyon Digital ducks in the old Nintendo game ‘Duck Hunt'. JFK And something else that's been shot? The breeze on this week's wonderful new installment of the lovely podcast known to some as The Kitchen Is On Fire, to many others as TickyOff and to a fair few as Mouth Sounds From Legends. After a festive season delay due to grim glands and poorly wives James and Sam reconvene at the office to pretty much howitzer the hell out of the damn breeze. Sam's had a bad Christmas, James has cooked the Christmas food and they check in with the predictions they made for the year just past. They also find time to discuss the Bros documentary, the creepy items James keeps in his desk box and Sam tries in vain to find out what creepy secret New Year's resolution James has made. A lot of creepiness going down…. Then Alice Levine shows up dressed like a pilot with some very hot porridge in tow. The steamy oats are put to one side so this thrupple of chat can cover other equally as steamy topics such as recommending porn to your mother, pickled onions, a boot full of béchamel and Dame Emma Thompson. There's also hairy eyelids, big soups, the joys of eating club sandwiches in the nude and Alice reveals her new found favourite canned good. A clue, it rhymes with ‘porter mess shunt'. Cryptic, and not as gross as that clue might lead you to believe it is.
