fWotD Episode 2760: The Importance of Being Earnest Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 24 November 2024 is The Importance of Being Earnest.The Importance of Being Earnest, a Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde, the last of his four drawing-room plays, following Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893) and An Ideal Husband (1895). First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy depicting the tangled affairs of two young men about town who lead double lives to evade unwanted social obligations, both assuming the name Ernest while wooing the two young women of their affections. The play, celebrated for its wit and repartee, parodies contemporary dramatic norms, gently satirises late Victorian manners, and introduces – in addition to the two pairs of young lovers – the formidable Lady Bracknell, the fussy governess Miss Prism and the benign and scholarly Canon Chasuble. Contemporary reviews in Britain and overseas praised the play's humour, although some critics had reservations about its lack of social messages.The successful opening night marked the climax of Wilde's career but was followed within weeks by his downfall. The Marquess of Queensberry, whose son Lord Alfred Douglas was Wilde's lover, unsuccessfully schemed to throw a bouquet of rotten vegetables at the playwright at the end of the performance. This feud led to a series of legal trials from March to May 1895 which resulted in Wilde's conviction and imprisonment for homosexual acts. Despite the play's early success, Wilde's disgrace caused it to be closed in May after 86 performances. After his release from prison in 1897 he published the play from exile in Paris, but he wrote no more comic or dramatic works.From the early 20th century onwards the play has been revived frequently in English-speaking countries and elsewhere. After the first production, which featured George Alexander, Allan Aynesworth and Irene Vanbrugh among others, many actors have been associated with the play, including Mabel Terry-Lewis, John Gielgud, Edith Evans, Margaret Rutherford, Martin Jarvis, Nigel Havers and Judi Dench. The role of the redoubtable Lady Bracknell has sometimes been played by men. The Importance of Being Earnest has been adapted for radio from the 1920s onwards and for television since the 1930s, filmed for the cinema on three occasions (directed by Anthony Asquith in 1952, Kurt Baker in 1992 and Oliver Parker in 2002) and turned into operas and musicals.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Sunday, 24 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see The Importance of Being Earnest on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Patrick.

Annandag påsk och Nordegren & Epstein bjuder på ett specialprogram med gobitar från vårens program. Vad är skillnaden mellan en miljardär och en oligark? Skrev Mozarts syster egentligen hans violinkonserter och är det dags att kasta bh:n? Vad är skillnaden mellan en oligark och en vanlig miljardär?Efter Rysslands invasion av Ukraina har ryska oligarker fått stor uppmärksamhet. Hur de kunde bli så ofantligt rika i samband med Sovjetunionens fall och vilken roll har de spelat för Vladimir Putins allt mer auktoritära sätt att styra Ryssland? Torbjörn Becker, chef för Östekonomiska institutet på Handelshögskolan gästade programmet för att hjälpa oss reda ut det.Hur mycket av Mozarts musik skrevs av hans storasyster?Maria Anna Walburga Ignatia Mozart, kallad Nannerl, var hunsad av sin far, och trots sina uppenbara musikaliska talanger levde hon större delen av sitt liv en tillbakadragen tillvaro långt från rampljuset. Nu föreslår en pensionerad dirigent och professor, Martin Jarvis, att Nannerl kan vara den verklige upphovsmannen bakom flera av Mozarts violinkonserter. Hur vanligt är det att systrar och fruar ligger bakom kända kompositörers verk? Det diskuterade vi med musikkritikern Edit Söderström och konsertmästare Malin Broman.Rullator-specialRullatorn - den svenska uppfinningen från 1978 som betytt så oerhört mycket för svenska åldringars välmående. Marianne Kylberg, programdirektör på arbetsterapeutprogrammet Lunds Universitet har forskat om rullatorn och så besökte Gerd Klang, rullatoranvändare, Daniel Alling och Louise Epstein i studion.Gör bysthållaren livet bättre eller sämre?Under pandemin har många passat på att gå bh-lösa i sin hemmakarantän. Är det ett trendbrott eller kommer bysthållaren att åka på igen när arbetsplatsen kallar? Hur ser sambandet ut mellan bh-trender och samhällsutveckling? Vad är det egentligen som styr detta klädesplaggs vara eller icke vara? Det frågade vi Louise Wallenberg, professor i modevetenskap vid Stockholms universitet.Programledare: Louise Epstein, Thomas Nordegren och Daniel Alling.Producenter: Amanda Rydman, Jennie Sjöström och Olle Björkman.

Mozarts äldre syster kan ha legat bakom flera av hans violinkonserter, enligt en teori. Var det så att hon efter broderns död smög in sina egna kompositioner bland hans efterlämnade notsamlingar? Programledare: Thomas Nordegren. Bisittare: Louise Epstein. Hur mycket av Mozarts musik skrevs av hans storasyster?Maria Anna Walburga Ignatia Mozart, kallad Nannerl, var hunsad av sin far, och trots sina uppenbara musikaliska talanger levde hon större delen av sitt liv en tillbakadragen tillvaro långt från rampljuset. Att hon komponerade vet vi eftersom det framgår av syskonens korrespondens. Inga av hennes kompositioner finns bevarade - officiellt. Men nu föreslår en pensionerad dirigent och professor, Martin Jarvis, att Nannerl kan vara den verklige upphovsmannen bakom flera av Mozarts violinkonserter. Hur vanligt är det att systrar och fruar ligger bakom kända kompositörers verk? Det diskuterar vi med musikkritikern Edit Söderström och konsertmästare Malin Broman.Hotet från RysslandIdag möts USAs utrikesminister och Ukrainas president Volodymyr Zelenskyj, för att diskutera hotet från Ryssland. Samtidigt är Zelenskyj inblandad i en konflikt med den förre presidenten Petro Poroshenko, som står åtalad för landsförräderi. Varför väljer man att fokusera på interna konflikter i en tid när säkerhetsläget är så allvarligt, och Ukraina skulle behöva stå enat mot Ryssland? Fredrik Wadström, Ukrainakännare och tidigare Sveriges Radios korrespondent i Moskva, gör en analys.Drönarna över kärnkraftverkenOch på tal om säkerhetsläget så ska vi också prata om drönarna över kärnkraftverken. Är de hjärnspöken eller ryska militärdrönare ute på spaningsuppdrag? Och vilken skada skulle de kunna göra i så fall? Mikael Odenberg, tidigare försvarsminister som även varit chef för Svenska Kraftnät, berättar vad hann tror.Och så ska vi äntligen få höra en låt som många av våra lyssnare har önskat sig...Programledare: Thomas Nordegren Bisittare: Louise Epstein Producent: Julius Bäckman

The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square are featured in this merry episode about Christmas in our own backyard. We are local to Salt Lake City and enjoy a wide variety of Christmas culture. This includes the magnificent downtown venue of Temple Square, home to the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Temple Square is famously decorated for Christmas and features one of the largest Christmas light displays in the world. It also has stunning Nativity displays and art. The several buildings house crowds of all sizes to accommodate performances from local artists and groups. The most famous of these groups is the Tabernacle Choir, who has called Temple Square home since the 1860s. They first performed in the still-standing Tabernacle, for which the Choir is named. In their history of touring and regular concerts no other activity by the Choir is as well known as their annual Christmas concert, which is featured on PBS in a nationally aired broadcast every holiday season. The Christmas concerts by the Tabernacle Choir feature the Orchestra at Temple Square, a hand bell choir, dancers and actors from local companies. Nearly all local performers are volunteers. It is a Choir custom to invite renown guest artists to perform each year. Past performers include Broadway stars Audra McDonald, Kristin Chenoweth, Angela Lansbury, Kelli O'Hara, Santino Fontana and Laura Osnes; R&B singer Gladys Knight; the late jazz singer Natalie Cole; pop singer David Archuleta; legendary newscasters Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw; historian David McCullough; the Muppets from “Sesame Street”; actors Jane Seymour, Hugh Bonneville, Richard Thomas, the late Ed Herrmann, John Rhys-Davies, Roma Downey, the late Peter Graves, Claire Bloom, Michael York and Martin Jarvis; opera stars Renée Fleming, Deborah Voigt, Frederica von Stade, Bryn Terfel, Nathan Gunn, Alfie Boe, Sissel, Rolando Villazón and four Metropolitan Opera soloists and the London-based a cappella group, The King's Singers. Collectively, the featured guests have garnered 34 Grammy Awards, 19 Tony Awards, 14 Emmy Awards, 10 Golden Globe Awards, three BAFTA Awards, one Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Olivier Award. These concerts are a massive effort. In this merry episode we speak with Scott Barrick of the Tabernacle Choir about everything that goes into getting these concerts produced. This episode features a healthy dose of Tabernacle Choir music and information about a new two-hour holiday special airing on PBS before Christmas. But that's not all. In this episode we also hear from two other artists performing on Temple Square - Allie Gardner, who with Wade Farr performs a haunting version of O Come O Come Emmanuel. That song is the oldest Christmas carol on record and we tell its fascinating backstory. We also share the incredible version of The First Noel performed last Christmas by Bryson and Tierra Jones, a must-hear tear-jerking arrangement of the classic Christmas song by Jared Pierce.

Joe & Si; Going Underground! Ep5 padding or is it the best character work of the story? Tight denim, a special John Levene commentary, the tea mans comeuppance, Martin Jarvis' reading, traitors unveiled and soldiers smoking fags! Joe sings, but you can skip that bit.

Get ready to spare "half a moment" as hosts Bobby and Kristina discuss 2001's By Jeeves on episode eight of My Favorite Flop.   ABOUT BY JEEVES Based on the beloved series of novels and short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, By Jeeves tells the story Bertie Wooster, a young gentleman about town with a penchant for getting himself into personal difficulties (particularly with women), and his unflappable manservant Jeeves, who is inevitably left to elegantly rescue him. The musical features a book and lyrics by Alan Ayckbourn and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The musical originally premiered in London in 1975 under the title Jeeves and was conceived by lyricist Tim Rice. Rice, however, did not stay with the project and was eventually replaced by playwright Alan Ayckbourn, who would also provide the musical's book and direction. After a troubled tryout in Bristol, the show finally opened in London's West End, but after receiving poor reviews, it closed after only a month. An original cast album was recorded and released, but it is extremely hard to find due to the fact that composer Andrew Lloyd Webber took the advice of producer Hal Prince to withdraw the album and use his compositions in future works. Music from the original production of Jeeves can be heard in Evita, Song & Dance, Sunset Boulevard, and more. Due to the fact that much of the original material had already been repurposed, the musical had to be completely reconstructed from the ground up for its revival. Now titled By Jeeves (to differentiate the "new" work), the show re-opened on May 1, 1996 in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, and was transferred to London due to positive audience response. The American premiere took place at The Goodspeed Opera House the same year and had several regional productions before finally making it to Broadway in October of 2001. The Broadway production, which began performances just a month after the events of 9/11, closed after just 73 performances. A film recording of the musical, featuring Martin Jarvis as Jeeves and John Scherer as Bertie Wooster, was released in October 2001. It was filmed in a studio in Toronto after the pre-Broadway tryout in Pittsburgh.   Original Broadway Cast John Scherer as Bertie Wooster Martin Jarvis as Jeeves Donna Lynne Champlin as Honoria Glossop James Kall as Gussie Fink-Nottle Ian Knauer as Harold "Stinker" Pinker Emily Loesser as Stiffy Byng Heath Lamberts as Sir Watkin Bassett Don Stephenson as Bingo Little Becky Watson as Madeline Bassett Steve Wilson as Cyrus Budge III (Junior)

Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he's a nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him.

Actor Martin Jarvis pays homage to Arthur Miller, England Cricketer Vic Marks gives his verdict on The Archers' game, and Radio 4 drama goes underground and avant-garde. In recent weeks, BBC Radio has been host to a theatrical marathon celebrating the centenary of the birth of the great playwright Arthur Miller. With a wealth of plays, features and documentaries across Radio 3 and Radio 4, some critics called it overkill - but listeners couldn't get enough. Roger Bolton puts audience questions to Martin Jarvis, director of Radio 3's A View from the Bridge. When it comes to reporting the news, getting to grips with statistics is vital for any correspondent. Listeners are fed reels of numbers, explaining everything from economic performance and mortality rates, to voting patterns and adultery. But how well do BBC correspondents understand these statistics, and do they risk being partial if they don't use them correctly? Roger speaks to Michael Blastland, one of the founders of Radio 4's chief number crunching programme More or Less. Last week's Radio 4 drama Master Rock was recorded live inside a Scottish mountain - but some listeners wished it had been buried forever. With an experimental electronic soundscape, and a postmodern script, the drama told the story of the subterranean Cruachan Power station, and the people who built it. While some thought it was progressive, artistic, and a unique listen, for others it was an off-putting experience. When the residents of Ambridge played the biggest cricketing fixture of the year, it was bound to be dramatic, and it didn't disappoint. But was the match plausible? Roger speaks to ex-England all-rounder Vic Marks to find out. Producer: Katherine Godfrey. A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.

A new exhibition of work by Russian painter Kasimir Malevich at London's Tate Modern follows his career from early representational work through his cubo-futurist phase, to his creation of the concept of supremacism and back to figurative art. It is grand in its scale and vision and ambition, but will it be packing in the visitors this summer? There's another revival of Oscar Wilde's The Importance Of Being Earnest, with an all-star cast including Nigel Havers and Martin Jarvis. What devices can make this 120 year old much-venerated comedy funny to a modern audience? Filipino film Norte; The End of History is more than 4 hours long and loosely based on Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and it has been hailed as a masterpiece by many critics as it has been shown on the major festival circuit. There's new US TV sitcom called Silicon Valley, revolving around the lives of a bunch of internet start-up nerds. It's the work of Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, Office Space, King of the Hill) and it's already been nominated for 5 Emmys David Flusfeder's John The Pupil is a novel that purports to be a long lost diary of a 13th century monk and his companions as they journey from England to deliver a package from their Friar to The Pope in Viterbo Tom Sutcliffe is joined by Paul Morley, Kate Williams and Amber Jane Butchart.

reprinted from wikipedia with respect and thanks Synopsis The Doctor and Sarah arrive in 1970s to find that it has been evacuated, due to the mysterious appearance of . It turns out that the dinosaurs are being brought to London via a in order to further a plan to revert London to a pre-technological level. [] Plot The Doctor and arrive in a deserted London plagued by looters and lawlessness where is assisting with maintaining martial law. The regular army, headed by General Finch, has evacuated the entire city and issues a command that any looters in London will be shot on sight. The Doctor and Sarah are soon arrested on suspicion of being looters themselves but are identified from the photographs by , who is heading up the UNIT operation, and arranges that the pair are freed to help combat the monsters that have necessitated the evacuation of London. have started appearing all over the city – but that is not all, as the Doctor comes across a medieval peasant from the days of , who disappears in a time eddy. It seems the dinosaurs have been present for several months, but nobody can account for their sudden appearance or the havoc they are causing. The British Government has been relocated to during the crisis, and the army has taken charge to ensure an orderly evacuation and to try and maintain some sort of control in the city. The dinosaur appearances are various – , , – but the creatures seem to vanish as mysteriously as they appear. The Doctor ventures out around the city with a UNIT escort, hoping to learn more of the curious phenomenon, and they encounter a Stegosaurus moments before it disappears. He starts to suspect someone is deliberately bringing the dinosaurs to London – and in a hidden laboratory a pair of scientists, Butler and Professor Whitaker, are shown operating the Timescoop technology that is making the situation possible. They are being aided by Captain from UNIT, who is revealed to be recovering from a nervous breakdown caused by the events depicted in . Mike feels the Doctor could help them achieve Operation Golden Age, but Whitaker is unconvinced, and tells Mike to sabotage the stun gun, which the Doctor is building for use on the dinosaurs. He does this, imperilling the Doctor when he encounters a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but the situation is saved and the creature is stunned and captured. Hours later, however, General Finch sets it free, evidently part of the conspiracy too. Sarah Jane has meanwhile set off to gather her own evidence and meets with Sir Charles Grover, an ecologist MP who is acting as Minister with Special Responsibilities in London. She is drugged by him and when she wakes up is astounded to find herself on a vast spaceship. The crew include Mark, Adam and Ruth, all famed British minor celebrities who have adopted new aliases and lives. They tell her they en route for a New Earth where mankind can begin again, closer to nature. They left Earth three months earlier and the ship is one of a fleet that is carrying over two hundred people to a new life. Sarah is committed to the re-education programme to enable her to think like them. The Doctor now focuses on more searches of London using his new vehicle, the Whomobile, as transport. Under he finds the base used by Whitaker and Butler, but is scared away when they use a pterodactyl to defend their lair. When he returns with the Brigadier, the signs of occupation have been removed. Operation Golden Age is revealed to be a broad conspiracy containing Whitaker, Butler, Yates, Grover and Finch as its core co-ordinators. They have emptied London to enable it to revert to a more natural state, after which the people on the spaceships (in reality they are in vast bunkers and not in space at all) will be allowed out and enabled to repopulate a clean and free planet. Whitaker also works out how to reverse time, so that soon none of humanity apart from their own chosen specimens will ever have existed. Finch tries to frame and discredit the Doctor, whom he knows will not support their plans, and the Doctor soon twigs that an over-zealous Yates is the UNIT mole. lets the Doctor escape, for which Finch threatens a court martial. The Doctor uses his freedom to track down more monsters, but when he is recaptured the Brigadier asserts his authority and takes the Doctor into UNIT custody rather than the regular army's. Sarah has meanwhile escaped from the fake spaceship having learnt its true nature, but is apprehended by Finch, who tracks her down and returns her to Whitaker's custody. While she is away Mark works out that the ship is a fake too and exposes this to the other passengers, but he is not believed. When Sarah is returned to the ship she and Mark use the fake airlock to convince Ruth and the others of the depth of the deception Shortly afterward Finch and Yates reveal their hands to the Doctor, Benton and the Brigadier, and reveal the nature of their plans. The Doctor and the Brigadier get away once more and head back to the base, evading dinosaurs en route, where they confront Grover and Whitaker. The duped environmentalists from the fake spaceship also appear, along with Sarah, and demand an explanation. In the ensuing fight Whitaker and Grover are transported back through the Timescoop to the Golden Age they sought to bring to modern Britain. Back at UNIT HQ, the Brigadier confirms to the Doctor that the crisis is over, but there are still some human casualties to deal with. Finch will face a court martial while Yates is being offered the chance to resign and given extended sick leave. The Doctor reflects that people like Grover may have had good motivations in wanting to fight pollution and environmental degradation, but they took their schemes too far and endangered all mankind and its civilisation. He decides it is time for a holiday and offers to take Sarah Jane to the holiday planet of Florana. [] Continuity This section does not any . Please help improve this section by adding citations to .

In the original novelisation, no reference is made to the "Whomobile" and the Doctor uses a military motor bike with electronic scanning equipment attached to it. Malcolm Hulke protested against the use of the title Invasion of the Dinosaurs, preferring the original working title of Timescoop, and felt the contraction for the first episode was silly, especially because the Radio Times listing used the full title.

There is a longstanding fan myth that the tape of episode 1 was erased by mistake, having been confused with an episode of the Patrick Troughton serial . In reality, BBC Enterprises issued instructions to wipe all six episodes of Invasion of the Dinosaurs in August 1974, just six months after the story's transmission; for reasons unknown, however, only episode 1 was actually junked. As far as the BBC was concerned, the story had been wiped in its entirety; researchers for the 1976 documentary Whose Doctor Who found that none of the episodes was listed as existing in the BBC library. The surviving film recording of Episode 1 is the only telerecording of a Season 11 episode known to exist. A black-and-white film print exists of the film sequences from part one. This includes one scene of a scared scavenger stealing money from a dead milkman's satchel omitted from the transmitted version, this would have been part of the deserted London montage. The black-and-white prints were used as practice for the film editor to make cuts before they cut the colour negatives. Colour 35mm film sequences from Episode five also exist. Episode 3's first edit (also known in the BBC as a 71 edit) also exists, without sound effects or music on the soundtrack.
