Amber Heard trial, filming awkward love scenes, the Me Too movement, cancel culture, and much more!“I think what people fail to realize is that, as actors, or somebody like Johnny Depp has the capacity to be the brightest and most powerful light you've ever seen on screen. But, it's almost as if there's a sort of lack of understanding that we still are exactly the same as everyone else. And we still have the same human problems. We have the same personal issues, that run alongside that, and there's a lot of pressure, especially if you've made a name for yourself, like he had, in such sort of iconic, well, you know, that he's magical, right. And the minute that stuff might be going wrong for him personally, people are so quick to judge and almost don't allow him the right to be a human because they've got this fixed idea in their head of “that is who that person is.” - Sophia Myles Top Takeaways:Famous actors and actresses are just like everyone else. They face the same struggles and deal with the same difficulties, the only difference is they have to do it with an audience.We must regain some kind of equilibrium in regards to the Me Too movement. People should be presumed innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent.Show Notes: [0:00] Greg welcomes Sophia to the show!

The three-part miniseries A Very British Scandal—out April 22 on Amazon Prime Video—dramatizes one of the longest, most expensive, and scandalous divorce cases of the 20th century. In 1963, a judge dissolved the marriage of the aristocratic Duke and Duchess of Argyll, condemning the latter as a promiscuous woman with a “debased sexual appetite.

In today's episode I walk you through the Trailer Music that was used in A Very British Scandal.This was a bit of a double win for me as this track was a track that I wrote when teaching how to write Emotional Solo String pieces for the Protege Pro students.I'm gonna be totally honest here, I still suffer from bouts of imposter syndrome and fears of it all falling apart (ie not winning any more trailers and everyone finding out that I am a fraud).Not easy to admit but feels pretty good and hopefully helps you realise that that stuff doesn't just go away.So, winning this trailer with this track was the proof in the pudding that I needed to remind me that the stuff I am teaching is relevant and useful still.This after all is one of the purposes for Protege's existence; to teach people how to write in many different styles and to make each track ready for sync (sale).I hope you get a lot out of this walkthrough, I always really enjoy doing them.

And Claire Foy & Paul Bettany stop by for a two-part interview that kicks off with a frank description of the problematic characters they play in their new series, “A Very British Scandal,” which premieres next Friday on Amazon Prime.

Bad People specials will be available on BBC Sounds. On December 28th, Dr Julia Shaw, Sofie Hagen and Sarah Phelps, the writer of the new BBC One drama A Very British Scandal, talk about slut-shaming in the 1960s and today. On January 2nd, Julia and Sofie speak with Danielle MacDonald about her character in the new BBC One drama The Tourist. They discuss fatphobia, emotional abuse and what it was like filming during a sandstorm in Australia's outback.

Matt is joined by site contributors Sarah Kennedy and Will Barber-Taylor to review BBC One dramas, The Girl Before, Around the World in 80 Days and A Very British Scandal. As well as BBC Two's The Mezzotint.

The award winning actor Claire Foy tells us about playing the Duchess of Argyll in the BBC One TV series A Very British Scandal on Boxing Day. Margaret Argyll was branded a nymphomaniac by her husband the 11th Duke of Argyll in their explosive 1963 divorce hearing and he was granted a divorce on the grounds of his wife's adultery. As schools shut for the Christmas break, the government, head teachers and trade unions are contingency planning for widespread absence due to Omicron in the New Year. We hear from Jacquie White the General Secretary of the Ulster Teachers Union about calls for retired teachers to return to work to plug the gaps and also from Mary Bousted the General Secretary of the National Education Union. Karen Teasdale-Robson from Blaydon, near Newcastle has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure her father, Bryan isn't forgotten when he dies. Her dad for the majority of his life was a poet and a songwriter but an assault ten years ago left him with a brain injury. Care workers told Karen to prepare for the worst earlier this year, which led her to release a recording of lullaby he had written for her almost 60 years ago, to ask for the public's help in re-recording it. We talk to Dame Joan Collins about her new BBC documentary “This is Joan Collins” which is on air over Christmas. Not shy of voicing her opinions, she reflects on her life, relationships, and seven decades in showbusiness. Former poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy and Mercury-nominated songwriter Kathryn Williams have released a new album 'Midnight Chorus'. They tell us about their collaboration and how they avoided the clichés of Christmas. Presenter: Chloe Tilley Producer: Rabeka Nurmahomed

I am beside myself because we are joined by real life royalty… well almost… on this special episode, it's the OG queen from Netflix's The Crown, Claire Foy! I have been OBSESSED with Claire since she played my all-time favourite queen, Anne Boleyn in the BBC adaption of Wolf Hall but it was her iconic turn as Elizabeth II in The Crown that made her an international star. After starring in the first two seasons alongside previous Reign guest, Vanessa Kirby, Claire went on to win two Emmys, two SAG awards and a Golden Globe before turning her attention to the big screen, where she later won the prestigious Critics Choice ‘See Her' award for pushing boundaries for women on screen. Now, after a three year break from the spotlight, Claire returns with the BBC Drama, A Very British Scandal which follows the 1950s divorce of Ian, the Duke of Argyll and Margaret, the Duchess of Argyll which became one of the brutal legal cases of the 20th century. During the case a double sexual standard was seen between the Duke and Duchess. Despite the Duke having numerous affairs, Margaret was vilified - in court and in the press - for her sexual appetite. And after the Duke forcefully accessed the Duchess' private papers, he used an image of Margaret performing a sex act on a ‘headless man' against her- becoming one of the first examples of modern day ‘slut shaming.' The story is FASCINATING and if, like me, you wanted to know more immediately after watching the first episode, you can read about Margaret's fascinating life here: https://www.tatler.com/article/mary-killen-on-the-duchess-of-argyll. Claire is also about to star in the new movie, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain which follows the life and mental health of Victorian cat artist, Louis, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Claire plays Emily Richardson who enters Louis' life as the governess to his five sisters before they fall in love and marry, defying society standards at the time. What may seem like a cute biopic is anything but, it's a beautiful and at times dark look at our mental health. Plus, Reign favourite, Aimee Lou-Wood also stars in the movie, so I thoroughly recommend you go and see it! I loved talking to Claire so much about her two latest projects in this episode, Claire opens up about her own mental health journey and how therapy helped her following a breakdown in her mid twenties. Claire also reflects on how becoming ill as a teenager - she had an operation to remove a tumour from her eye, and also suffered with arthritis meaning she spent long periods of time on crutches - has shaped the person she has become today. Plus Claire shares a very relatable sexist experience involving removal men and how she felt like she didn't deserve the success she received for The Crown. I love what Claire has to say about the power of opening up to those around you and being your true self in front of friends (including the good, the bad and the ugly) so I hope this inspires you to talk honestly with the people you care about, because we all need each other more than ever, right?!? I really hope you continue to listen and find the power to Reign in your own lives, too. We will be back in the new year with a new season celebrating all things wellness! And if you love this episode, please get in touch (follow me across social media @joshsmithhosts), I love hearing from you. Love, Josh xxx
