In this sponsored episode of the Anglotopia Podcast — brought to you by ACP Rail and BritRail — Jonathan Thomas sits down with Tim Roebuck, a man who has spent his entire career in rail travel: station manager, head of BritRail Travel International in New York, senior VP at ACP Rail for 25 years, and one of the most knowledgeable people alive on the subject of getting around Britain by train. This is the episode Jonathan has wanted to make for a long time — a complete, practical, friendly guide to understanding and using the BritRail Pass, demystifying the network for international visitors, and unlocking the kind of trip most Americans never imagine is possible. They cover the history of British Rail and the coming Great British Railways rebrand, how London's multiple terminal stations work, the game-changing Elizabeth line, the best scenic routes in the country (from the East Coast Main Line's North Sea coastal run to the Far North Line to Wick and Thurso), how train ticket types actually work and why the BritRail Pass cuts through all the confusion, the difference between a consecutive and a flexi pass, what the pass does and doesn't cover, seat reservations, luggage tips, apps to use, and Tim's all-time favorite rail journey. Plus: a giveaway. To celebrate this episode, Anglotopia and ACP Rail are giving away a first-class BritRail four-day flexi pass. Enter at anglotopia.net/britrail. Giveaway closes August 15th.

Na jednom z nástupišť rušného londýnského nádraží Paddington můžete narazit na zajímavou bronzovou sochu. Znázorňuje medvídka, přesněji řečeno Medvídka Paddingtona, který do Londýna údajně přijel až z dalekého Peru. V modrém kabátku, červeném kloboučku a s malým kufříkem v ruce, pardon, v tlapě. A taky s cedulkou, která cestující vyzývala, aby se o něj někdo postaral. Což se opravdu stalo.

Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle单词提示1.inspector 巡官,探长2.racegoers 赛马观众3.stable 马厩原文Chapter 1: A horse called Silver Blaze."I must go down there, Watson, I must." said Sherlock Holmes at the breakfast table on Thursday morning."Go, go where?" I asked."To Dartmoor, to King's Pyland.""Ah, so that's it," I said, "Well,everybody in the country is talking about the case at King's Pyland."I always know when Holmes is interested in a case, he reads all the newspapers.He walks up and down, up and down the room and does not speak for hours.He did all those things yesterday.He did not answer any of my questions, but I knew that it was the mystery at King's Pyland.The morning, newspapers were on the breakfast table."What is happening at King's Pyland? Where is Silver Blaze," they asked, "Who killed John Straker? What are the police doing? Can they find the horse before the big race next week?" Silver Blaze was a famous racehorse, and John Straker was his trainer.One of the biggest horse races of the year-the Wessex Cup was next week, and Silver Blaze was the favorite to win.But on Monday night at King's Pyland, two things happened.Someone killed John Straker and Silver Blaze disappeared.I was interested in this case, too."Do you need my help, Holmes?" I asked."I would very much like to come with you, my dear Watson," said Holmes, "Of course you must come with me.We can catch the twelve o'clock from Paddington and talk about the case on the train."Two hours later, we were on the train to Tavistock.We read all the midday newspapers, but there was nothing new in them."So, Watson, what do you think about this case?""Well, the newspapers say…""Yes, the newspapers understand nothing. One day they say one thing, the next day they say another. But we must look at the case more carefully. What did happen on Monday night at King's Pyland and what did not happen, that's an important question, too.""Do the police have any answers?"I asked."No," said Holmes. "On Wednesday morning, I had two letters. One was from Mr. Ross, the owner of the horse, and the other was from the Dartmoor police, an Inspector Gregory. They ask for my help.""Wednesday morning?"I cried, "But this is Thursday morning, why didn't you go down yesterday?""Because it was an easy case, you can't hide a famous horse for long, I thought. where can you hide a horse on Dartmoor?There are no buildings, no trees. But I was wrong, Watson. The case is now two days old and nobody can find the horse or Straker's killer." "So here we are on the train to Tavistock, and what do you think about it all? " I said."Well, Watson, let's look at the case first. We have a racehorse-Silver Blaze, only five years old, but already a winner in many big races. His owner Mr.Ross is a happy man and rich, the racegoers are happy too. Silver Blaze nearly always wins his races and so people put big bets on him to win. And when the favorite wins the race, a lot of people make money on their bets. But what happens when the favorite doesn't win? Watson, what then?""A lot of people lose their money, of course," I said, "And people with big bets on a different horse can make much more money when that other horse wins."Right, Watson! So perhaps some people are very interested in Silver Blaze not running in the Wessex Cup. Of course, Mr. Ross and his trainer John Straker know that, and they watch the horse very carefully.Now let's look at the people and the place. The trainer, John Straker, a good man and wonderful with horses, worked for Mr.Ross for twelve years. There are four horses in the training stables and three boys working for Straker. One of them sits up all night with the horses and the other two sleep in a room over the stables. We know nothing bad about any of the boys.Straker has a wife, no children, and lives-I mean lived in a house about 200 meters from the stables. The town of Tavistock is two kilometers to the west, and about two kilometers to the east. There is Capleton-another training stables. The owner there is Lord Backwater, and the trainer is Silas Brown. There are no other houses, just the hills of Dartmoor."I listened carefully, I wanted to remember it all, because Holmes does not like to say anything twice."Now," he said, "What happened on Monday night? These papers came with Inspector Gregory's letter. The best thing is for you to read them, Watson, then tell me what you think."I took the papers from him and began to read.翻译第一章:一匹名叫银光的马。"我必须得去一趟,华生。不能不去。"星期四早上,歇洛克·福尔摩斯坐在桌旁吃早餐时说道。"去?去哪儿?"我问道。"去达特穆尔--去金斯皮兰。""啊!就是这事儿。"我说,"全英国的人都在谈论金斯皮兰的这个案子。"当福尔摩斯对某个案子感兴趣的时候,我总能感觉到。他会浏览所有的报纸,在房间里不停地走来走去,几小时都不说话。昨天他就是这样。我问什么他都不理,不过我知道他肯定是在想着金斯皮兰的神秘事件。早上的报纸就放在餐桌上。"金斯皮兰发生了什么事?'银光'在哪儿?"报上写道,"谁杀死了约翰·斯特雷克?警方在干什么?他们能不能在下星期大赛前找回'银光'?""银光"是一匹著名的赛马,约翰·斯特雷克是它的驯马师。每年最大的赛马会之一--韦塞克斯杯--就在下星期举行,"银光"是夺冠的大热门。但星期一晚上,在金斯皮兰发生了两件事。约翰·斯特雷克被杀了,而"银光"失踪了。我对这案子也很感兴趣。"你要我帮忙吗,福尔摩斯?"我问道,"我非常愿意跟你一起去。""亲爱的华生,"福尔摩斯说,"你当然得跟我一起去。我们可以赶12点从帕丁顿区开出的火车,在车上讨论案情。"两个小时以后,我们坐上了去塔维斯托克的火车。我们看了中午所有的报纸,但报上没有什么新消息。"华生,你对这案子有什么看法?""呃,报纸上说...""啊,报纸什么也不知道。他们今天说一套,明天又是一套。但我们得更用心地看待这个案子。星期一晚上在金斯皮兰发生了什么?没发生的又是什么?这也是个关键的问题。""警方找到答案了吗?"我问道。"没有,"福尔摩斯说,"星期三早上我收到两封信,一封是马的主人罗斯先生写来的,另一封来自达特穆尔警方--格雷戈里巡官。他们请求我帮忙。""星期三早上!"我叫道,"但现在已经是星期四上午了。你为什么不昨天动身呢?""因为这个案子并不复杂。我原来以为没人能长时间地藏住一匹知名的马。你能把马藏在达特穆尔的什么地方呢?那儿没有建筑物,也没有树林......但我的判断并不准确,华生。现在这案子已经发生两天了,还没人找到那匹马--或者找到杀死约翰·斯特雷克的凶手。所以我们才坐上了这列开往塔维斯托克的火车。""那你对这一切有什么看法?"我问道。"嗯,华生,我们来看看这个案子。首先,有一匹赛马'银光'--才5岁,但已经是许多大赛的冠军。它的主人罗斯先生很开心--因为他有钱了。在这匹马上下注的赛马迷们也很开心,因为银光在比赛中几乎从未输过,因此人们在它身上下了重注。如果最被看好的赛马赢得了比赛,很多人都会凭他们下的赌注赢钱。但如果这匹马输了呢,华生?那会怎样?""当然是许多人输钱啦,"我说,"而且在别的马身上下了重注的人会赢得更多的钱,如果被下注的那匹马赢了的话。""说得对,华生!所以,可能有人很希望'银光'不能参加韦塞克斯杯的比赛。当然,罗斯先生和他的驯马师约翰·斯特雷克知道这一点,他们非常小心地照顾着这匹马。现在让我们来看看这案子涉及到的人和地点。驯马师约翰·斯特雷克--他是个好人,对马很有一套--已经为罗斯先生工作了12年了。训练用的马厩里有四匹马。斯特雷克手下有三个小马倌,其中一个会整夜守着马,另外两个睡在马厩顶上的一个房间里。就我们所知,这几个男孩儿的品行都很好。斯特雷克已经结婚,没有孩子,住在--我是说,他曾经住在离马厩200米左右的一所房子里。向西两公里就是塔维斯托克镇,东边大约两公里的地方是卡普莱顿,另一处训马马厩。那儿的主人是巴克沃特勋爵,驯马师是赛拉斯·布朗。附近没有其他的房子了--只有达特穆尔的山。"我仔细听着,想记住这一切,因为福尔摩斯不喜欢重复说过的话。"那么,"他说道,"星期一晚上发生了什么事?这些卷宗是格雷戈里巡官随信一起寄来的。你最好看看,华生,然后告诉我你的想法。"我从他手里拿过卷宗,看了起来。

For years, comedy thrived on cynicism. The world was a mess, people were selfish, and anyone who believed otherwise was the punchline.But from Ted Lasso, to Paddington, to Come From Away, some of our most beloved stories are finding humor, heart, and even heroism in empathy, earnestness, and human decency.This summer, Lyric Repertory Company is producing Gutenberg! The Musical! It's a delightfully ridiculous show about two aspiring theater makers who are convinced they have created a masterpiece. They haven't, but their unwavering enthusiasm is part of what makes the show so charming.And it's not the only production in Lyric's season that seems interested in the power of human decency.
It was announced yesterday that PADDINGTON The Musical, the multi-Olivier Award winning West End smash hit, would officially transfer to Broadway, opening at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in Spring 2027.The stage adaptation of the Michael Bond story and the STUDIOCANAL films is directed by Luke Sheppard (The Little Big Things, Starlight Express) with Tom Fletcher and Jessica Swale having written the score and book respectively.

Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this video review and reaction, Roxy and Jon balance the hilarious, chaotic tones of teenage love potions with the dark, suspenseful secret-agent thriller energy of Voldemort's rising shadow. We unpack the incredible performances of the legendary ensemble cast, featuring Daniel Radcliffe (The Woman in Black, Weird: The Alchemist Story) delivering an intensely mature performance as the Chosen One Harry Potter, Michael Gambon (The King's Speech, Paddington) bringing pure regal gravitas as Albus Dumbledore, and Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Love Actually) commanding the screen as the deeply mysterious Severus Snape. We also dissect the incredible, tragic character complexity of Tom Felton (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Flash) as a heavily conflicted Draco Malfoy, Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge!, Iris) as the memory-hoarding Professor Horace Slughorn, and Helena Bonham Carter (The King's Speech, Fight Club) as the chaotic Bellatrix Lestrange. Our hosts react to every single unforgettable highlight, from the beautiful cinematography of the opening Death Eater London bridge attack to the pure comedy of Ron Weasley accidentally consuming a powerful love potion intended for Harry. We breakdown the bizarrely hilarious drunken funeral scene for Aragog the giant spider, the raw intensity of Harry using the dangerous Sectumsempra curse on Draco in the bathroom, and the horrifying psychological torment of the cave sequence where Dumbledore is forced to drink the agonizing liquid to uncover Voldemort's Horcrux history. Finally, we unpack the sheer heartbreak of the Astronomy Tower betrayal where Snape casts Avada Kedavra on Dumbledore, the emotional unity of Hogwarts raising their wands against the dark mark, and the shocking final twist revealing that the locket is a total fake left by the mysterious R.A.B., so drop your thoughts in the comments below!

Things get awkward on this week's Empire Podcast, folks. Not just because Chris Hewitt seems to be wearing a Skeletor mask for some of it, nor because he's so heat-addled that he forgets to introduce James Dyer properly. No, things get awkward because the team – Chris, James, Helen O'Hara, and Ben Travis – discuss whether it ever gets awkward for them when visiting film sets. Then, our intrepid quartet also discuss the week's movie news, including the shocking news of Paddington 4's potty-mouthed writers, and review Daniel Roher's Tuner, John Carney's Power Ballad, Kane Parsons' Backrooms, and Kristin Scott Thomas' directorial debut, My Mother's Wedding. Oh, and Chris sits down for a lovely chat with Leo Woodall, star of the excellent Tuner, and discovers that Woodall has some hidden talents. Enjoy!
In this solo episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas delivers his definitive guide to Oxford — his favorite city in England outside of London and the subject of his guidebook 101 Oxford Travel Tips and Tricks. From the bleary-eyed chaos of his first visit in 2012 with an angry 16-month-old and the Mini Cooper factory ring road at midnight, to two stays as a student on the Oxford Experience program, Jonathan brings nearly 15 years of personal history with the city to bear on a comprehensive, enthusiastic, and practically useful travel guide. The episode covers how to get there, how long to stay, the Oxford Experience immersive student program, the colleges you must see, the Bodleian Library's remarkable layers, the essential museums, the unrivaled bookstore scene led by Blackwell's and its famous five-mile Norrington Room, Oxford's extraordinary literary connections from Lewis Carroll to Tolkien to Philip Pullman, the day trips that demand your time — including Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds — and the practical tips that will make your visit infinitely more enjoyable.

Two days minimum is the right call; three is better. Oxford is just 60 miles and 40-45 minutes by direct train from London Paddington, making it one of the easiest day trips or overnights in Britain — and you can also get there direct by bus from Heathrow without going into London at all. The Oxford Experience — a residential immersive programme at Christchurch offering one-week courses for adults in July and August — is Jonathan's single highest recommendation for anyone who wants to truly inhabit the city. Courses cost £1,500–£2,000 all-in and include room, board, lectures, and excursions; book in November when the schedule is released as popular courses fill within hours. The Bodleian Library is not one library but several — the Divinity School, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, and the Weston Library — and the best way to see them properly is to book a guided tour well in advance, as they sell out. Blackwell's bookshop on Broad Street is arguably the greatest bookshop in the world — the underground Norrington Room alone has five miles of shelving beneath Trinity College — and Jonathan has never left without spending several hundred pounds. Staff will package books in brown paper and ship them back to the US at reasonable rates. Oxford's literary connections are extraordinary: Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland at Christchurch (Alice was the Dean's daughter); Tolkien and C.S. Lewis met with the Inklings at the Eagle and Child every Tuesday through the 1930s and 40s; Philip Pullman set His Dark Materials here; Oscar Wilde studied at Magdalen; and Inspector Morse has made every corner of the city feel like a crime scene. The Eagle and Child — the Inklings' famous pub on St. Giles' Street — has been closed since COVID and is currently being refurbished by new owners. It must reopen as a pub by heritage law, and is expected to reopen either in 2026 or 2027; keep an eye on the show notes link for updates. If you're in Oxford for even one day, you must go to Blenheim Palace — just eight miles away by bus, the only non-royal non-episcopal palace in England, birthplace of Winston Churchill, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and arguably the greatest country house in Britain. A bus from Oxford drops you at the gates. Jonathan's top Oxford hack: stay for at least one night. By 4-5pm the tour buses are gone, Oxford becomes a completely different city, and the cultural life — theatre, bookshop talks, music — begins. Arrive early to beat crowds at the sights, then save the evenings for culture and quieter exploration. Avoid mid-April to mid-June (exam season, colleges restrict access), avoid July if you run hot (medieval stone buildings have no air conditioning and bake in the heat), and buy a fan the moment you arrive if visiting in summer. September and October are ideal months to visit. ⠀ Soundbites "Most of my early memories of Oxford were driving the ring road at midnight with a toddler who would not go to sleep and who would only stop crying if he was in the car. We drove round and around, seeing nothing other than the Mini Cooper plant every time we went past." — Jonathan on his first trip to Oxford in 2012. "Oxford has this warmth to it — that yellow beige Cotswold stone, weathered and warm. And there's this scholarly, bookish vibe from the place that you don't really get anywhere else. It's not just a campus. Oxford University is the town of Oxford." — Jonathan on why Oxford grabs you. "I was immediately spellbound. I loved it immediately. And that's the thing about Oxford — it grabs you once you visit, and you're walking around this beautiful architecture surrounded by deep, deep history. They don't even know exactly how old the university is. It's over 800 years old. When Oxford was founded, the Aztec Empire hadn't even reached its peak." — Jonathan on falling in love with Oxford in 2016. "There were riots. There was full scale urban warfare in Oxford in 1355 — the St. Scholastica's Day riot. 63 scholars and 30 townspeople were killed. As a result, the town was forced to pay annual reparations to the university in a formal ceremony that continued into the Victorian era." — Jonathan on Oxford's violent town vs. gown history. "You basically get to live as an Oxford student for a week. Morning is lectures, afternoon is tours and excursions, evening is formal dinner in the Great Hall. And one night you're invited to high table — suit and tie, port, mingling with the professors. It's a very quintessentially British experience." — Jonathan on the Oxford Experience programme. "I've never gotten out of the Norrington Room without spending several hundred pounds. Let me just say that. Five miles of shelving underground beneath Trinity College. So many books." — Jonathan on Blackwell's legendary underground bookshop. "The Pitt Rivers Museum is like the Victorian cabinet of curiosities. Dimly lit, quiet — maybe people don't even know it's there. Polynesian canoes, samurai outfits, weapons, armour. A strange and wonderful melange of human culture from all over the world." — Jonathan on one of Oxford's most atmospheric museums. "If you're in Oxford and you don't go to Blenheim Palace, you've wasted a trip to Oxford. It's the only non-royal, non-episcopal palace in England. I would argue it's probably the greatest house in Britain. And a bus from Oxford drops you right at the gates." — Jonathan on Blenheim Palace. "By four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the tour buses are gone. And it's just you and the people who live and work and study in Oxford. Oxford becomes a completely different place. That's when the cultural life wakes up." — Jonathan's key Oxford overnight hack. "Scriptum on Turl Street — if you're a bookish type, you will love this place. Beautiful blank books, journals, diaries, fancy pens. I have a beautiful leather book from there with gorgeous cream pages that I cherish so much I haven't written anything in it. I'm afraid to ruin it." — Jonathan on his favourite hidden gem shop in Oxford. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan sets up the Oxford guide episode and plugs his Oxford guidebook 01:48 Jonathan's Relationship with Oxford — Brideshead Revisited, American universities, and the Oxford DNA in US campus culture 03:30 First Visit: Oxford 2012 — Diamond Jubilee trip, an angry toddler, and the ring road at midnight 06:20 Second Visit: Oxford 2016 — The train from Paddington, the proper day, and falling in love properly 08:42 A Brief History of Oxford — Ford of the Oxen, Alfred the Great, Henry II, 800 years, and the St. Scholastica's Day riot 13:30 The University Explained — 44 colleges, town vs. gown, the founding of Cambridge by Oxford exiles, and Oxford today 16:10 How to Get There — Train from Paddington, Oxford Tube bus, direct from Heathrow, and why not to drive 19:30 Getting Around Oxford — Walking, taxis, park-and-ride pitfalls, and Tolkien's grave 21:10 Day Trip vs. Overnight — Why staying beats leaving, and how Oxford transforms after 4pm 23:40 The Oxford Experience Programme — Christchurch, Worcester College, the Nelson course, high table, and the Enigma course Jonathan wants to do next 33:15 Accommodation Options — Hotels, staying in colleges out of term time, and the Randolph (Inspector Morse's pub) 35:20 The College System Explained — 44 semi-independent colleges, how to apply, porters, scouts, and visiting hours 38:00 Must-See Colleges — Christchurch, Magdalen, Worcester, Merton, Wadham (Brideshead), and the peculiar All Souls 43:00 The Bodleian Library — Five buildings, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, the Divinity School, and why you must book a tour 47:00 Radcliffe Square & St. Mary's Church Tower — The most beautiful urban space in Britain and the best views in Oxford 48:40 The Ashmolean Museum — Britain's first public museum, the Alfred Jewel, Guy Fawkes's lantern, Turner paintings, and it's free 51:00 The Pitt Rivers Museum — Through the Natural History Museum, the shrunken heads, Polynesian canoes, and the Victorian cabinet of curiosities 53:00 Carfax Tower, Oxford Castle & Prison, and the Covered Market — Views, ruins, Brown's Café, and Ben's Cookies 55:30 The Botanic Garden & Broad Street — Riverside walks, the Martyrs' Cross, and the Reformation in Oxford 56:30 Shopping in Oxford — The High Street, Blackwell's, the Norrington Room, OUP Bookshop, Scriptum, The Last Bookshop, and why to skip the Harry Potter tat 01:03:00 Literary Oxford — Lewis Carroll, Tolkien, C.S.

RHLSTP #609 - Comedian Cancer Frankingstein - Rich hasn't got much to say at the start (hooray) and even then he is not as funny as a man in the audience. His guest is impressionist, comedian and podcaster Matt Forde. They talk about Rich's Mastermind failure (again?), working on Spitting Image and how weird it is that out of all the characters that show has done, it's the puppet of Paddington that has got them into the most trouble, working with the divine genius Alice Levine, interviewing the Prime Minister and other dodgy political figures, why there's a better option than going back in time to kill baby Hitler, plus a long chat about the negatives and surprising positives of having had spinal cancer, why it's helpful to talk about this and why cancer isn't as bad as the possibility of Nottingham Forest getting demoted.

McFly front man and children's author Tom Fletcher has returned to his first love - musical theatre - penning the songs for Paddington the Musical which has just got its sticky paws on seven prestigious Olivier Awards.

He went on to the prestigious Sylvia Young theatre school where he also met his future wife Giovanna. In his late teens he auditioned to join the band Busted where he was briefly accepted before being told his services were no longer needed. But so impressed were the record label with his musical ability they decided to create another band and McFly was born.He's also sold millions of books, many of which he co-wrote with bandmate Dougie Poynter.Mark Coles looks back at Tom's life and career so far.Producers: Ben Carter and Tom Gillett Social media producer: Grace Braddock Editor: Justine Lang Sound mix: Neil Churchill Production co-ordinator: Rosie Strawbridge

The origin of Paddington is one worth noting on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Michael Bond recalled seeing Jewish children arriving in Britain during World War II with name cards around their necks and suitcases in their hands. That inspired the beloved bear, and a Rhode Island artist is helping to keep the story alive. Ocean State Media's Pamela Watts reports for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
