- Each Christmas Eve, Solarstone (Richard Mowatt) reads a festive story. This year, it is Oscar Wilde's 'The Selfish Giant'.

Today's episode brought to you by existential dread! Kelsey regales the overly sappy fairy tale The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde—but don't worry, she's got a delightfully unhinged fix for our collective mood. Meanwhile, Abbie shares the indigenous (most likely Haida) folk tale The Ogre, the Sun, and the Raven, retold by Ruth Manning-Sanders. (That's sun, not son.)

In tonight's episode, we honor the timeless work of Oscar Wilde as we celebrate the anniversary of his birth on October 16th, 1854. We'll dive into one of his most beloved stories, The Selfish Giant, a touching tale about love, kindness, and transformation. After our literary journey, we'll turn our gaze to the night sky. This week marks the beginning of the Orionid Meteor Shower, and with the First Quarter Moon rising on October 17th, it's the perfect time to reflect on our intentions and actions. Together, we'll explore how these celestial events can inspire moments of mindfulness and wonder. Settle in, take a deep breath, and let these calming stories and cosmic reflections guide you into peaceful rest.

The director Clio Barnard won prizes and critical acclaim for her first feature film The Arbor: it blended fact and fiction to depict the short, troubled life of the brilliant Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar. Since then she's taken on a wide range of British stories. She directed Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston in The Essex Serpent, a six part adaptation of the best-selling book by Sarah Perry. She returned to Bradford for Ali and Ava, a love story which won a BAFTA nomination for outstanding British film, and for The Selfish Giant, the tale of two children trying to make money from selling scrap metal. Music often plays an important part in her films, and her choices include Alice Coltrane, Biber and Philip Glass.

The Selfish Giant (2013) is up next in our 'Not Like Other Movies' month, more fondly known as 'Sad Bullshit' month. This film fits the theme perfectly!

Adapted by Mary Rowitz

Oscar Wilde said of his story The Happy Prince that it was "an attempt to treat a tragic modern problem in a form that aims at delicacy and imaginative treatment; it is a reaction against the purely imitative character of modern art.” His Fairy Tales then were only partly written for children and as he said, "partly for those who have kept the childlike faculties of wonder and joy, and who find in simplicity a subtle strangeness".In The Happy Prince and The Nightingale and the Rose, Wilde explores love and self sacrifice. The Selfish Giant will not let the children in his garden but repents and is redeemed. The Miller in the Devoted Friend is not only selfish but an egotistical hypocrite. The Remarkable Rocket is also a tale about egotism and conceit.Part IThe Happy PrinceThe Nightingale and the RoseThe Selfish Giant Part IIThe Devoted Friend The Remarkable RocketAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the given story, the Giant became truly happy only after he became kind to the children and allowed them to play in his garden. Similarly, selfishness takes us nowhere in life, always making us feel grumpy and sad but being kind towards others gives us a feeling of satisfaction.

Welcome back to Planet Storytime!We return almost three years later, to Oscar Wilde's, The Selfish Giant, adapted for the podcast by Thomas Mitchell with music by Pax Stanley.   This is a gorgeous story about the importance of overcoming selfishness, learning how to give and serve others, and the kind of magic that happens when you learn to share not only of your things, but of yourself:)Enjoy!!PSP Production TeamSupport the show

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode celebrate 40 years of Film4 with a quartet of famous film-makers who have been part of its rich history and legacy. Founded in 1982, Film4 soon became an iconic and vital voice in British film. It has fostered a reputation for producing gritty, diverse stories from unheard voices as well as championing the more leftfield and experimental side of British cinema. Ellen looks at Film4's origins in conversation with Stephen Frears who directed the very first Film4 film, Walter. Walter stars Sir Ian McKellen as a young man with learning difficulties and the film documents his struggles in Margaret Thatcher's Britain. Frears continued to explore life in 80's Britain in the now iconic and still ground-breaking My Beautiful Laundrette. Stephen and Ellen discuss what the film meant at the time and why it remains relevant. Mark talks to Gurinder Chadha. In 1993 her Film4 produced debut, Bhaji on the Beach, became the first full-length feature film made by a British Asian Woman. Gurinder and Mark discuss the importance of Film4 in championing minorities and what the British film industry was like before and after Film4's emergence. Ellen chats with Ben Wheatley about Film4's response to his irreverent 2011 folk horror film Kill List as well as the multi-platform release of 2013's A Field in England. They talk about how Film4 has always made space for the more uncommercial and experimental side of British cinema. Finally, Mark talks to Clio Barnard about her 2013 Film4 debut, The Selfish Giant. A social realist adaptation of an Oscar Wilde story, Clio discusses how Film4 supported her as an artist and allowed her to share her unique and touching tale. This week's Viewing Note is courtesy of former Film4 head and veteran producer, Paul Webster. Producer: Hester Cant A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

He develops a deep friendship with a little swallow, who flies around the city doing good deeds for the Happy Prince. It was first published in 1888 in the anthology 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' which, in addition to its title story, also includes 'The Star Child', 'The Devoted Friend' and 'The Selfish Giant'.

When it comes to shooting films, they say never work with children or animals - but what about filming an entire feature around the life of one impressive horse? On Friday 28th May, WFT Board Member Fiona Kinsella was in conversation with fellow producer Tracy O'Riordan about her film Dream Horse. Based on a true story, this warm, wonderful feature, which features Toni Colette and Damien Lewis, is released in Irish cinemas on the 7th June. Tracy O'Riordan Bio Tracy set up Moonspun Films in 2008. Most recently she produced filmmaker Clio Barnard's fourth feature Ali & Ava, a love story starring Claire Rushbrook and Adeel Akhtar. In 2018 O'Riordan produced Monsoon, the second feature from Hong Khaou (Lilting), which was shot entirely on location in Vietnam and starred Henry Golding of Crazy Rich Asians. O'Riordan worked as a drama development executive and story editor before moving into physical production in 2002, when most notably she worked on the multi-award-winning feature The Queen, directed by Stephen Frears. Following this O'Riordan worked as a production executive overseeing a slate of micro-budget feature films as part of Liverpool: European Capital of Culture 2008, which included the acclaimed Of Time and the City, directed by Terence Davies. In 2010 O'Riordan produced The Arbor, directed by Clio Barnard, which won several national and international awards and was nominated for a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut. In 2012 she produced The Selfish Giant, Barnard's second feature, which was selected for the Directors' Fortnight at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and nominated for a BAFTA (Outstanding British Film). In 2016 O'Riordan produced Barnard's third feature Dark River, which screened at the Toronto International Film Festival (Platform Prize: Honorable Mention) and the London Film Festival in 2017. About Dream Horse The film tells the inspiring true story of Dream Alliance, an unlikely racehorse bred by small-town bartender Jan Vokes. With very little money and no experience, Jan convinces her neighbours to chip in their meager earnings to help raise Dream and compete with the racing elites. Their investment pays off as Dream rises through the ranks and becomes a beacon of hope in their struggling community.

Instructions: There is a Worry envelope in the boxes. Have the kids write down their worries. They can cut them out and decorate them if they'd like, or they can draw pics to represent their worries. Have them place their worries in the envelope and put it someplace safe, like a drawer or under their mattress. They don't have to forget their worries, but they can feel calmer knowing their worries are safely stored away where they don't have to think about them all of the time.
