Stories of superstitious drinks and a cheese grudge. Paapa Essiedu is a highly acclaimed actor, known for his work across stage and screen. After attending Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Paapa joined the Royal Shakespeare Company, making his debut in The Merry Wives of Windsor at the age of 22. Other stage credits include Death of England: Delroy, The Effect and, most recently, All My Sons, a performance which saw him win an Olivier Award.   Paapa joins Nick and Angela to talk about two TV projects, including Falling, where he plays a priest who falls in love with a nun, portrayed by former Dish guest Keeley Hawes. The show is the first love story written by Jack Thorne, whose credits include Adolescence, His Dark Materials, Toxic Town and Skins. Falling is available to stream and watch live on Channel 4 from May 19. You'll also see Paapa in Babies, opposite Siobhán Cullen, as a couple struggling through the experience of pregnancy loss. The series, available on BBC iPlayer, has garnered praise for the poignant handling of its subject matter.  It's an episode with a chilli kick, with big-batch spicy margaritas to get things started and then spicy prawn tacos with rhubarb & scotch bonnet salsa to keep things going. The tacos are a recipe by Ixta Belfrage, which is paired by our wine experts with a glass of Tohu Sauvignon Blanc Awatere Valley. Paapa is a huge fan of big bold flavours, including Thai and Mexican cuisine, and there's also plenty of love for fresh tomatoes and, thanks to his recent theatre run, white chocolate matcha lattes. And, after recently taking up cooking classes, what skills can Paapa glean from watching Angela in the kitchen?  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the spicy prawn tacos with rhubarb & scotch bonnet salsa was created for Waitrose by Ixta Belfrage For chocolate mousse inspiration, mentioned at the end of the episode, check out this recipe by Martha Collison.

This week, Matt and Jordan flip for the conch to discuss the BBC’s new four-part adaptation of The Lord of the Flies, now streaming on Netflix. The duo dives deep into Jack Thorne’s "cinematic" take on the classic novel, debating the effectiveness of its character-focused structure and its haunting visual palette. For Rec Seg!, they've got Flies-inspired recommendations that range from the whimsical to the harrowing, and in response to listener emails, a deep-cut horror recommendation and an experimental short (that may just scratch that jam-band itch). Plus, Matt faces his fears as Producer Sam takes over as "Dungeon Master" for this week's game, The Streaming Limited, testing the hosts’ knowledge of literary-inspired miniseries.

El nuevo capítulo de 'Estamos de Cine Edición Series' arranca analizando el fenómeno de la serie argentina 'El Encargado', que tras su éxito mundial llega ahora a su cuarta temporada. La producción de Disney+ (Star+), liderada por la dupla creativa de Mariano Cohn y Gastón Duprat, vuelve a situar al personaje de Eliseo Basurto, interpretado por Guillermo Francella, en una posición de poder e intriga que en esta entrega llegará a rozar las esferas de la Casa Rosada y la presidencia de la República Argentina. Sin movernos de Disney+ Raquel Hernández nos habla del capítulo sorpresa de la aclamada serie The Bear (El Oso) concebido como eslabón narrativo fundamental entre la cuarta y la quinta temporada. Ambientado en las afueras de Chicago, el episodio rescata recuerdos de los personajes de Mike y Richie, profundizando en el pasado de la familia Berzatto y sirviendo como preámbulo para el cierre definitivo de la serie que se espera próximamente. La oferta de contenidos se diversifica con la llegada de dos propuestas europeas de alto impacto a Netflix y Movistar Plus+. Por un lado, el programa explora la serie Legends, un crudo relato sobre el mercado de la heroína en la Inglaterra de los años 90 que ya ha suscitado comparaciones con el realismo de The Wire. Por otro, se destaca la ambiciosa adaptación de El señor de las moscas, la mítica novela de William Golding que en esta ocasión cuenta con Jack Thorne como showrunner, prometiendo una visión contemporánea y perturbadora del comportamiento adolescente. Ya etsá disponible en el menú de Movistar + Y como siempre, para acabar, reservamos un lugar privilegiado para la atmósfera sonora de la ficción televisiva. En esta edición, el protagonismo recae sobre la adaptación de Prime Video de la célebre novela La casa de los espíritus de Isabel Allende. Aunque la crítica se ha mostrado dividida respecto a la narrativa, el programa resalta unánimemente la banda sonora compuesta por el músico chileno Tomás Videla, cuyas piezas más emotivas sirven de cierre para esta entrega, reafirmando el compromiso de la emisora regional con la cultura y el análisis detallado de las series de televisión.

William Golding's iconic tale of a group of boys stranded on an island without adults has long been a part of school curriculums in the English-speaking world, but what is it actually about? In episode 380, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they ask whether humans are inherently evil, reflect on how Golding's experiences in World War II may have influenced his worldview, debate the value of using a group of boys to represent humanity, explore the symbolism of the pig's head, and compare the book to some of the other notable books people read in school.

Today we're in the company of a billionaire, a hostage negotiator and the most sought after screenwriter in the business.The screenwriter in question is Jack Thorne who's now turned his considerable talent to a brilliant TV adaptation of Lord of the Flies.Nicky Perfect says hostage negotiation is all about empathy, and less about talking than listening. And we'll be all ears as she tells us what we can all learn from the techniques police negotiators use.And we'll certainly be paying close attention to what Welsh born billionaire Michael Moritz has to say to us, about his own story, and his telling of the story of his family which is fascinating, harrowing and inspiring in equal measure. Also today the firefighter who spends his spare time being a Viking - and the Inheritance Tracks of Marian Keyes.

You might not know Jack Thorne's name but you'll definitely know his work. He's the award-winning writer behind Adolescence, Skins, This is England and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.For years, he has created intense, thought-provoking dramas - stories that speak to millions of us around the world. His work doesn't just entertain, it creates conversations about who we are and the world we live in. I loved this conversation with Jack. What surprised me most was learning that behind his success is someone who grew up feeling like he didn't quite belong. It was through his writing that Jack found his purpose: telling stories that matter. We cover: Locking eyes with Leonardo DiCaprio during his Golden Globes speechAdolescence and the dark side of social media E.T. - the film that made Jack fall in love with cinema His creative partnership and friendship with Stephen GrahamHow his autism diagnosis helped him make sense of his pastIf you take one thing from this conversation, let it be this: stories have a quiet power to help us see the world, and ourselves, a little differently.You can watch Jack's Lord of The Flies series now.

In this episode of “Half Hour”, we take a deeper dive into the 2025 Off-Broadway production of A Christmas Carol at Perelman Performing Arts Center, adapted by Jack Thorne and staged by Matthew Warchus and Thomas Caruso. Drawing on our experience with the 2019 Broadway run, we break down how the story, structure, and use of traditional Christmas carols land in this new in-the-round configuration. We examine the production's immersive environment, Rob Howell's scenic design, and the way the playing space reshapes audience engagement with Ebenezer Scrooge's journey. Performances by Michael Cerveris, Julia Knitel, Crystal Lucas-Perry, and Nancy Opel are closely reviewed, along with standout scene work that underscores the company's ensemble approach. We also consider where this version of A Christmas Carol might go after its Off-Broadway run at PAC NYC, and how it fits into the growing landscape of immersive and family-focused holiday revivals.  Follow and connect with all things @HalfHourPodcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

As he approaches press night, we check in with award-winning actor Paul Hilton, who is getting his Scrooge on this Christmas at the Old Vic. He reflects on finding his own way into the iconic miser, and what drew him to Jack Thorne's adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic after initially turning the role down. More broadly, he reflects on his career: bringing The Inheritance to New York after its landmark London moment, and the work he did helping to save Oldham Coliseum. He also expresses a great desire to work on Hamlet Hail To The Thief with Thom Yorke once again – if ever the moment arose. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Peabody Award's Executive Director Jeffrey Jones sits down with Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, the minds behind the gripping mini-series Adolescence. The Emmy-winning crime drama explores the aftermath of a brutal crime committed by a young boy against a girl classmate. With its unflinching exploration of grief and confusion in the wake of such a horrific event, the show sparked worldwide conversations regarding online misogyny and teen behaviors. Graham and Thorne discuss how concern over the role that technology plays in the lives of children was a major inspiration behind the show. Graham also shares how his personal experiences shaped his character, Eddie Miller. Later, host Gabe González is joined by Dr. Harriet Over to discuss “the manosphere:” what it is, why we should all be concerned, and ways to tackle the very real rise of misogyny online. 

Growing up in Bristol, acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Jack Thorne was a shy, politically driven kid who believed he could change the world- first through politics, then acting, before discovering that storytelling was where his voice truly belonged.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the Emmy and BAFTA-winning creator of This Is England, His Dark Materials, Harry Potter And The Cursed Child and Adolescence to trace Jack's journey from a lonely teenager to one of the most prolific writers of his generation. They talk about ambition, failure, neurodiversity, and the years of illness that left Jack literally allergic to movement, and how that experience shaped his empathy, activism and craft.This conversation reveals a writer driven not by fame, but by purpose- to make television and theatre more inclusive, more truthful, and more alive to the lives of those too often left out of the story.Find out more about television series The Hack here

Where do we go and what happens next after the dust at long last settles on an experience that sent tremors through a community? That's the question pondered in the final moments of Adolescence, the recent smash hit Netflix drama, which last night swept the 2025 Emmys. It's also, in part, the question at the heart of our conversation today with the show's co-writer – BAFTA-winning screenwriter and playwright Jack Thorne, who joins Al not just to discuss the show's creation, but to wade through the impact of this show that shook Britain. Adolescence stirred real-life change in a way few TV shows can. It caused parents and legislators to ask important questions about the digital realms their kids disappear into behind closed doors. It's been made available to every school pupil in Britain for free. And there are growing calls for a ban on smartphones in schools, all because of this one-take tale of a 13-year-old boy driven to unthinkable violence by corrosive content served to him on his phone. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Jack tells us his conflicted feelings over the show's handling of Katie, the young girl whose death propels the show. He tells us about the fifth episode he would have loved to have written, focusing on Jamie's friends. And you'll also hear about Jack's research into real-life online misogyny, preying upon the insecurities of boys like Jamie.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 321: Cinematographer Matt Lewis In the limited Netflix series Adolescence, each episode unfolds as a single, uninterrupted take, a cinematic choice that immediately immerses viewers in the unfolding drama. This ambitious format was a deliberate artistic choice. Both cinematographer Matt Lewis and series director Philip Barantini had previously collaborated on the independent feature Boiling Point, which also followed the one-shot format. This shared experience allowed them to bring a unique intensity and almost voyeuristic quality to the new series. As Matt explains, “A one-shot creates intensity. It creates slight paranoia that something might happen because you've got this lack of editing. We managed to deploy that technique for Adolescence to make it feel like the camera just happened to be there. It was an inevitable floating force. You never feel like the camera is a filmmaker.” The decision to film Adolescence in one continuous shot was a massive undertaking that required meticulous planning, from the writing stage to the final take. The series' writers, Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, crafted the script with this format in mind, allowing the story to flow seamlessly from one character to the next. The crew and cast treated each hour-long episode like a live theatrical performance, knowing that any mistake would require a complete reset. For Matt, the process was similar to choreographing a dance. The cast and crew had about 2 attempts per day to get each hour long episode right. Matt chose a single, lightweight DJI Ronin 4D camera that was passed between operators and even mounted on a drone for one episode, emphasizing the camera's fluid, continuous motion. “It forces a kind of energy on set, which is really palpable when you're there,” explains Matt. “I think that also translates into the piece. A true one shot wasn't any sort of flex. We wanted to try and see if by stripping back and actually not having those opportunities to cut camera, it ends up focusing more on the story.” To navigate the complex, unbroken shots, Matt relied on detailed preparation and his extensive experience. He used the application Shot Designer to meticulously map out the camera's path, memorizing specific lines of dialogue as cues for each movement. Fortunately, the cast and crew had two weeks of rehearsals. Matt used his phone to shoot the rehearsal for reference, in order to plan the camera's route and see what would work. The lighting was also an integral part of this intricate choreography. Every fixture was practically built into the set and controlled in sync with the camera's journey through the scene. “Every step the camera takes is choreographed,” says Matt. “There was no room to work it out in the moment. But ultimately, we're creating a route, a path through a place. So there's only a certain way you can do that. If you start moving one piece, then you can't get from that piece to the next one suddenly.” The one-shot format in Adolescence ultimately served the story, creating a powerful and intimate viewing experience. By stripping away the ability to cut, Matt and the team were able to focus entirely on the narrative, allowing the raw energy and palpable tension of the set to translate directly to the screen.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in 2022, more than one in three U.S. adolescents between the ages of 18 and 25 had some form of mental health disorder, including anxiety and depression. There's also a loneliness epidemic: Teens and adults are more connected than ever, yet, somehow, more alone. Kara and three panelists  explore how much blame should be placed on technology like smartphones, the impact of social media, whether the adolescent brain is inherently vulnerable, how artificial intelligence might shift the paradigm, and how parents and society at large could mitigate the problem. In this episode: Lauren Greenfield, artist, documentary photographer and filmmaker, who has been chronicling the lives of American adolescents for decades. Most recently, she created and directed Social Studies, an Emmy-nominated five-part docuseries for FX. Matt Richtel, a health and science reporter for the New York Times, who has long covered the social impact of the tech industry. His latest book, How We Grow Up: Understanding Adolescence, draws on neuroscience and personal narratives to explore the changing complexities of the teen brain and the role technology plays. Jack Thorne, playwright and screenwriter, whose recent Emmy-nominated Netflix hit Adolescence, co-created with Stephen Graham, examines the psychological toll of toxic masculinity, bullying and social media radicalization after a teenage boy kills his female classmate.

In the 1990s, mothers in the English industrial town of Corby noticed their children were born with similar disabilities. Could they have been poisoned during their pregnancies by toxic waste being removed from the old steel mill? Led by Susan McIntrye, the group rallied to seek justice, but the borough council denied there was any connection between the children and the reclamation project essential to the city's future. The mothers hit stonewalls in their quest for the truth, but a crusading lawyer and a disgraced whistleblower might have the information vital to their case. Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood, and Rory Kinnear lead an all-star cast in the Netflix series Toxic Town. Based on the true story of the groundbreaking environmental negligence case, the series follows the efforts of the women as they fight powerful forces to get recognition and compensation on behalf of their children. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews writer and series creator Jack Thorne. SPOILER ALERT!
