Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen Tompkinson

We talk to Hassan Akkad, who came to the UK as an asylum seeker from Syria and who earned a BAFTA for his BBC documentary ‘Exodus: Our Journey to Europe', which used real footage from his journey from Syria.  Hassan tells us about his short film, ‘Matar', which tells the story of a day in the life asylum-seeker Matar as he tries to survive in London without being able to work legally or have a bank account.   ‘Matar' stars Ahmed Malek, who recently starred in ‘The Swimmers', the feature film about the Mardini sisters escaping war-torn Syria.  Both superb swimmers, the sisters sought asylum in Germany and Yusra Mardini went on to earn an Olympic gold medal.  Hassan also tells us about projecting his short 90 second message ‘Led by Donkeys' onto the White Cliffs of Dover.  We also talk to Shomit Dutta, who wrote the play ‘Stumped' about an imaginary game of cricket between Harold Pinter and Samuel Beckett, and to Andrew Lancel, who plays Pinter in the play. Who knew that Beckett, played in ‘Stumped' by Stephen Tompkinson, is the only Nobel Prize Winner to have an entry in Wisden?  Shomit and Andrew discuss the joys of cricket and the dramatic opportunities the game offers to explore the friendship between two of the greatest dramatists of our time. ‘Matar' can be viewed free here at Waterbear.com. ‘Stumped' plays at Theatre Royal Bath between 23rd and 27th May, at Cambridge Arts Theatre between 5th and 10th June and finally at the Hampstead Theatre in London between 16th June and the 22nd July.  Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

It was one of the most successful British films of the 1990s. Brassed Off - with its real life tale of the struggles of a colliery brass band during the UK pit closure crisis, became popular all around the world. It helped to introduce the classical piece Concierto De Aranjuez to new audiences and to rejuvenate brass band music. It also had a stellar cast including Pete Postlethwaite, Ewan McGregor, Tara Fitzgerald and Stephen Tompkinson.

I caught up with Stephen right before he walked on stage for what would have been one of the last performances of a national tour of Willy Russell’s “Educating Rita”, before lockdown. A massive talent and a true gent. Enjoy! The post Stephen Tompkinson appeared first on Putting it Together.

Featuring: Lee Child, Steve Mosby, Peter Robinson, Nick Quantrill and Frances Brody. It's known as God's own county. Naturally. Aside from the best beers, proper brews and rollicking Dales, Yorkshire 'appens to be murderously good for the crime genre. As Harrogate is the epicentre for crime writing's biggest celebration of the genre we celebrate local folk and devotees of the county. Lee Child may be the cool blockbusting author with the trans-atlantic drawl hanging with the likes of Tom Cruise, but he used to buy his toffee in Harrogate with his grandma as a lad before studying in Sheffield. Steve Mosby stalks the mean streets of Leeds, and Peter Robinson's DCI Banks novels starring Stephen Tompkinson were lovingly filmed on location in Yorkshire. Born and raised in industrial Hull, Nick Quantrill's Joe Geraghty novels have been dubbed as 'Hull's answer to Ian Rankin', and Frances Brody sets her Kate Shackleton mystery novels in Yorkshire. By 'eck what a treat! Yorkshire Pride was recorded live at Harrogate International Festivals' Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in July 2015.

Crime-writer Peter Robinson tops the best-seller lists year after year, across the world; in fact his detective, DI Banks, is probably even better known than he is. DI Banks is a straight-talking Yorkshire-man with dodgy dress sense and a frustrated love life, and he's been solving murders in Yorkshire for some twenty years now. There are now twenty-three Banks novels, and several series on television with Stephen Tompkinson in the title role. So DI Banks is hugely popular, and central to his character is that he constantly listens to music - in the car, at home, in pubs. There's a memorable line where Robinson says of his detective - "He did his best thinking when he was listening to music and drinking wine." This, Robinson reveals, is autobiographical. In Private Passions, Peter Robinson talks to Michael Berkeley about how music inspires his best thinking and writing, and why he's on a mission to get all his readers listening to the music he loves. He even creates online playlists of the music his detective listens to - including some of the music he chooses in Private Passions. Choices include Poulenc's Sextet for Piano and Wind, Beethoven's String Quartet in C sharp minor, Takemitsu, Miles Davis, and one of Schubert's last piano sonatas. Perhaps it's no surprise that he's drawn to last works - as a crime writer, his books begin with murder. Robinson confesses though that he regrets the increasing violence of the genre, and thinks the TV adaptations of his work go too far. And he reveals why Yorkshire is always the best place to hide a body. Produced by Elizabeth Burke A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.
