Summary The UK is having an election! In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, Jonathan and Jackie discuss the British election system and how it works from a non-party political perspective. They provide an overview of the parties involved, the role of the monarch, the campaign season, election day, and the counting and results process. They also touch on the concept of party manifestos and the importance of constituency-level vote counting. The conversation explores various British political TV shows and their relevance to the British political system. The hosts discuss shows like Yes Minister, The Thick of It, House of Cards, and more. They also mention books that provide a crash course in British politics. The conversation concludes with recommendations for viewers who want to learn more about British politics or enjoy political dramas.

The main parties in the UK are the Conservative and Union Party (right-wing), the Labour Party (left-wing), and the Liberal Democrats (middle of the road). The Scottish National Party and Northern Irish parties also play significant roles in elections. Manifestos are a major part of the election process, with each party outlining their policies and commitments if they come into power. Election day in the UK is not a national holiday, and media coverage is limited until the polls close at 10 p.m. Vote counting takes place at the constituency level, with a race to see which constituency can count the votes first. British political TV shows like Yes Minister, The Thick of It, and House of Cards provide an entertaining and insightful look into the British political system. These shows often highlight the power struggles, backroom deals, and comedic elements of British politics. Books like 'Britain Explained' and 'The British Polity' offer a crash course in British politics and provide a deeper understanding of the political system. Viewers interested in British politics or political dramas can find these shows on platforms like Britbox and Netflix. The shows mentioned in the conversation are Yes Minister, The Thick of It, House of Cards, A Very British Coup, The Diplomat, A Very English Scandal, Stonehouse, The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard, The Politician's Husband, Anatomy of a Scandal, and Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years, and The Gathering Storm. Sound Bites "A party manifesto is like a contract with the voters" "This usually leads to some very wonderful political clips for later on of candidates being embarrassed that they lost in 'Portillo Moments' or like people surprised that they won an outburst." "So Michael Portillo is now known for his colorful pants and doing train tours around Britain on like your favorite show." "He lost his seat. He was a government minister and he didn't even win like, he's just standing there. Like he could see the soul drain from his body as he lost."

L'histoire vraie de John Stonehouse, ministre britannique devenu espion à la solde de la Tchécoslovaquie pendant la guerre froide. Cette minisérie emprunte les codes de la comédie absurde pour retracer avec malice le parcours d'un menteur pathologique interprété par Matthew Macfadyen. L'histoire est racontée en marche arrière, puis que les premières scènes s'ouvrent sur John Stonehouse qui simule sa propre mort en 1974 en quittant ses vêtements sur une plage de Miami. Au fil de la série, on découvre ses déboires financiers, son implication dans l'espionnage pour le gouvernement tchécoslovaque et ses tentatives maladroites pour échapper à ses problèmes. La mini-série en trois épisodes de la chaîne britannique ITV est disponible sur Arte.tv jusqu'au 21 mai prochain. https://youtu.be/1Txasv4VWqg?si=bjLVazd7n7aZxTMT Fin des années 1960, en Angleterre. Fils de syndicalistes, au service de la Royal Air Force durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le député quadragénaire John Stonehouse cumule les atouts aux yeux du Premier ministre travailliste Harold Wilson, qui souhaite rajeunir ses troupes. Voilà John promu ministre de l'Aviation. Mais piégé par une interprète qui le séduit lors d'un voyage en Tchécoslovaquie, il devient espion pour l'ennemi communiste... sans éprouver la moindre culpabilité. Au contraire : les billets pleuvent et John mène la grande vie. À la fin des années 1960, il était présenté comme l'étoile montante du parti Labour, qui l'envoyait ferrailler sur les plateaux télé contre une autre figure prometteuse, Margaret Thatcher. Mais John Stonehouse n'était qu'une coquille vide. Imbu de lui-même, le député-ministre a failli dans tous les rôles qu'il a endossés : espion calamiteux, mari infidèle trop voyant, entrepreneur aussi avide que désastreux... En trois épisodes, Stonehouse adopte un ton léger et comique, mettant en lumière les péripéties loufoques de ce héros alors qu'il tente de naviguer dans un monde politique complexe. La série offre une critique satirique de la politique britannique tout en explorant les thèmes de la trahison, de la cupidité et de l'illusion du pouvoir. Le petit plus, outre un Macfadyen génial, c'est que son épouse/ex-épouse dans la série est campée par sa véritable femme à la ville, Keeley Hawes, une autre actrice britannique bien-aimée. Elle joue donc Barbara Stonehouse, qui oscille entre l'incrédulité et la colère face aux actions de son mari maladroit. Enfin, Kevin McNally complète le tableau principal et offre une performance impressionnante en tant que Premier ministre Harold Wilson, apportant une touche de sérieux à la comédie. [bs_show url="stonehouse"] À la suite de la diffusion de la série, la véritable fille de Stonehouse a exprimé sa préoccupation quant à la manière fausse dont la série dépeint l'histoire de sa famille. La mini-série nous rappellera A Very English Scandal, avec qui il partage un scénariste, John Preston. Mais le petit clin d'œil à The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe où le héros simulait également sa propre mort à partir d'une histoire vraie est aussi à noter. De toute façon, on reste dans le domaine de la fiction malgré une inspiration de faits réels. Stonehouse est disponible sur Arte.tv pour une soirée divertissante. Elle est en ligne jusqu'au 21 mai 2024.

State of the Union, créée par Nick Hornby, est une série au concept fort. Composée de deux saisons à 10 épisodes de 10 minutes chacune, il s'agit d'une exploration des relations amoureuses et sociales qui ausculte deux couples au bord de la rupture juste avant leurs séances de thérapie de couple. En soi, les deux saisons sont décorrélées, mais si le concept vous a plu, tant la première que la seconde saison sauront vous charmer. Humour british, présentée comme une websérie avec des caméras très statiques, tout l'intérêt de State of the Union repose dans l'écriture. Ce sont deux monuments de la fiction anglaise qui sont derrière le projet, puisque comme mentionné plus tôt Nick Hornby est à l'écriture, et c'est Stephen Frears qui est à la réalisation. The Queen, A Very English Scandal, Philomena, pour ne citer que quelques titres de sa filmographie. La première saison était sortie en 2019 et il aura fallu attendre 2022 pour la seconde encore inédite en France, désormais l'intégrale est disponible jusqu'au 30 octobre sur arte.tv. https://youtu.be/QOeC_z1Tlnk La première saison suit le couple formé par Louise (Rosamund Pike) et Tom (Chris O'Dowd), qui se retrouvent dans un café avant leurs séances de thérapie conjugale hebdomadaires car la crise est réelle, elle l'a trompé. Les épisodes se concentrent sur leurs conversations avant leurs séances, ce qui permet aux spectateurs de découvrir leur histoire, leurs problèmes de communication et leurs espoirs pour leur avenir en tant que couple. La deuxième saison suit un nouveau couple, formé par Ellen (Patricia Clarkson) et Scott (Brendan Gleeson), deux retraités qui se retrouvent dans un café branché. Comme pour la première saison, chaque épisode se concentre sur leur conversation avant leur séance, explorant leur passé, leurs désaccords d'opinion et un potentiel avenir. Leurs valeurs semblent être à l'opposé avec Ellen qui vient de rejoindre une communauté Quaker tandis que Scott reste assez conservateur. Ce qui est beau et triste, c'est que malgré les disputes et les reproches, on sent qu'il y a beaucoup d'amour et d'émotions dans ces dix courtes minutes (en même temps, plus long, le format serait lassant), et parfois on se surprend à prendre le parti de l'un comme de l'autre. Cet équilibre fait aussi la force de la série car il n'y a pas vraiment de méchant dans l'histoire, et c'est la vie qui évolue. La série apparait comme un OVNI dans le paysage télévisuel actuel dans sa structure, car tout se passe dans les dialogues et les non-dits. Les acteurs sont au cœur de la série, et ces analyses du mariage et de l'amour peuvent permettre des introspections profondes. [bs_show url="state-of-the-union"] Accompagnez donc ces deux couples en thérapie dans State of the Union sur Arte.tv.
Alice and Matt talk to Norman Scott, the man at the very heart of our story, whose chance meeting with Jeremy Thorpe in 1961 would lead to an attempt on his life. He describes the first time he caught the former Liberal leader's eye, the painful years living under his control and the terrifying night his life was in the balance. And he delivers his verdict on Hugh Grant's portrayal of Thorpe in the BBC's A Very English Scandal.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The incredibly talented and incredibly charming Russell T Davies (Queer As Folk, A Very English Scandal, Years And Years and It's A Sin) spoke to Ali this week in honour of his new ITV (and ITVX) drama Nolly, all about Noele Gordon, the '70s and early '80s soap superstar who played the indomitable Meg Richardson in Crossroads, and how her seemingly unstoppable small screen success suddenly... stopped. Oh, and it should be mentioned: Helena Bonham Carter plays Noele. Yep, it's a good 'un. And with RTD (as no-one calls him) also the man behind the 2005 revival of Doctor Who - and soon to return to the beloved franchise - that topic may up as well, if only just a little bit.
2023 is here! And with it, Radio 1's Screen Time interview specials for you to listen to, you lucky, lucky things. First up is Blake Harrison, most recently seen in the second series of I Hate Suzie on Sky, but also in the likes of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret (a must watch if you're a David Cross fan), The Great, A Very English Scandal and some thing called - checks notes - The Inbetweeners, where of course he played the legendary Neil. Here Blake talks to Ali about all of the above and more, even coming up with a whole new word in the process...
After a hiatus of four months, Diggory and Oscar are back to spread Hugh Grant-related Christmas cheer! First up on the agenda is new film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which premiered in November but will be largely enjoyed on Netflix when it's released on December 23. Hugh has a very fleeting cameo in this 'whodunnit' starring Daniel Craig, but nonetheless it's got Hugh Grant fans talking! The boys also debrief on an ABC News 20 years retrospective on Love Actually, where Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and others reflect on making the Christmas classic. Can you believe Love Actually came out 20 years ago....! We can't. Finally, Digs and Oscar ponder exciting news that Hugh has been cast in another HBO show, The Palace, following on from his success in The Undoing. This time, he's ticking off starring with yet another leading lady in Kate Winslet. There aren't a lot of details at present, but the fact it's being directed by Stephen Frears (who Hugh knows from A Very English Scandal and Florence Foster Jenkins) is certainly an early Christmas present. We hope you enjoyed this podcast episode of Hugh's News which is a Taking Hugh for Granted production.

The jaw-dropping and inspiring story of accidental queer icon Norman Scott (the hero of TV drama A Very English Scandal) and the part he played in one of the greatest political scandals of the 20th century. In October 1975, an assassin tried to murder Norman Scott on Exmoor, but the trigger failed and he only succeeded in shooting Scott's beloved dog, Rinka. Scott subsequently found himself at the centre of a major political scandal and became an unlikely queer icon. But this was never his intention.... He was born in 1940 into a poor, dysfunctional and abusive family. Aged 16, he began an equestrian career, animals having been the one source of comfort in his childhood. By the age of 20, he had run into debts and had suffered a nervous breakdown. In 1960, Scott began a sexual affair with Jeremy Thorpe. By the time of the attempted assassination of Scott, Thorpe was married, leader of the Liberal Party and a figure at the heart of the establishment. He was embarrassed by their former relationship and wanted to cover it up. But he failed. The assassination attempt culminated in a sensational trial in 1979, where Thorpe was tried for conspiracy to murder. The press labelled Scott a madman and the establishment protected Thorpe, who was acquitted. Only recently has Scott's version of events been vindicated. An Accidental Icon tells a story that is inspiring and jaw droppingly unbelievable: it is the tale of the courage and survival of one man who took on the establishment.

Nos voisins Britanniques nous ont habitués à des programmes de qualité et ces trois titres disponibles sur Salto n'échappent pas à la règle. A Very British Scandal Pour les amateurs de thrillers britanniques, le nom de Sarah Phelps n'est pas inconnu. De Témoin Indésirable aux Dix petits nègres, la dramaturge mélange enquête avec parfois du drame historique. Dans A Very British Scandal, elle dissèque un fait divers anglais que nous, Français, connaissons un peu moins. Claire Foy et Paul Bettany y campent la duchesse et le duc d'Argyll et la première a particulièrement défrayé la chronique pour des rumeurs d'infidélité dans les années 60. La presse à scandale sous-entendait qu'elle avait trompé son mari avec supposément 88 partenaires différents. https://youtu.be/A3D2w2Wgmd0 La mini-série en trois épisodes, saison 2 de l'anthologie de ces scandales britanniques qui a commencé avec A Very English Scandal, montre avec brio comment la presse faisait preuve de misogynie avec le traitement et l'humiliation publique d'une femme. Claire Foy est impeccable dans ce rôle mondain, qu'elle a pu perfectionner évidemment dans The Crown. De même pour Paul Bettany, qui nous a familiarisés ces dernières années avec son rôle de Vision de l'univers Marvel, le revoir dans drame britannique historique a quelque chose de réconfortant. Pourtant, en tant que spectateur, on va choisir notre camp très rapidement car il y a un parti pris dans l'écriture. [bs_show url="a-very-british-scandal"] Intelligence Savez-vous ce que fait Nick Mohammed quand il n'est pas occupé à se rebeller contre Ted Lasso ? Eh bien il joue les analystes dans une agence de renseignements anglaise aux côtés de David Schwimmer dans Intelligence. Et en plus d'y interpréter l'un des rôles principaux, Nick Mohammed a également créé la série et l'écrit. Dans cette comédie co-produite par Peacock et Sky où un agent américain se délocalise pour prendre la tête d'un groupe anglais, au-delà du clash des cultures, il y a également le clash d'humour. L'équilibre est difficile entre l'humour britannique très second degré et le comique américain peut-être plus simple. https://youtu.be/s-fP74s9-1c Ce workplace comedy a ce qu'il faut pour plaire aux amateurs du genre, un groupe d'originaux aux personnalités complètement différentes qui savent créer des situations loufoques. On est quand même loin du malaise que pouvait provoquer The Office, mais cela se ressent que Nick Mohammed a été biberonné aux comédies anglaises cultes. Il arrive à trouver un bon rythme avec des punchlines qui font mouche. Pour le moment, deux saisons sont disponibles et la troisième est un peu coincée dans les limbes. En effet, Intelligence n'a pas été annulée ni renouvelée. [bs_show url="intelligence-2020"] Downton Abbey Plus besoin de présenter la série culte de Julian Fellowes, mais il est toujours bon de rappeler l'existence de Downton Abbey et sa disponibilité sur des plateformes notamment sur Salto. La vie au manoir de Downton avec ses domestiques et ses maîtres va vous faire pleurer et rire pendant six saisons pleines d'émotions. https://youtu.be/_7g6hsClYv8 Si vous aimez les beaux costumes et les décors historiques.Si vous fondez devant l'accent britannique posh mais en même temps devant l'accent plus campagnard.Si vous avez toujours peur quand Dame Maggie Smith trende sur Twitter mais qu'en fait, c'est juste son anniversaire.Si vous attendez des twists imprévisibles avec des cadavres qui s'enchaînent alors qu'on est quand même dans un drame hyper réaliste.Si vous prenez votre thé devant les séries où il ne se passe grand-chose mais le commérage est tellement addictif que vous vous retrouvez des heures et des heures devant votre télé sans l'avoir réalisé.Vous savez quelle série regarder. [bs_show url="downton-abbey"] Si cela ne vous suffit pas il y a évidemment le film sorti en 2019 et un prochain film qui sortira au printemps de cette année. Et actuellement, vous pouvez retrouver sur OCS The Gilded Age, la nouvelle série du créateur de Downton Abbey. Cet article a été écrit dans le cadre d'un partenariat avec Salto.
Ak plánujete kúpiť nehnuteľnosť, pripravte sa na to, že budete mať hlboko do vrecka. Na konci minulého roka totiž vzrástli ceny bytov a domov o neuveriteľných 22 percent v porovnaní s rokom predtým a navýšenie bude pokračovať aj v nasledujúcich mesiacoch. Ceny sa zdajú predražené a nafúknuté a žiaľ aj nedosiahnuteľné pre čoraz viac ľudí. Je to celé len bublina a dokedy ešte budeme svedkami rekordných nárastov cien? Jana Maťková sa pýtala Tomáśa Vašutu z magazínu Index. Zdroj zvukov: Markíza - tvnoviny.sk, Sme rodina - Facebook Odporúčanie: V poslednom období oddychujem pri historických seriáloch a filmoch. Objavila som napríklad seriál Very English Scandal, ktorý zobrazuje skutočné justičné príbehy vo Veľkej Británii z 20. storočia. V prvej sérii sa dozviete viac o sexuálnom násilníkovi Jeremym Thorpovi, ktorý bol významným britským politikom a ktorého perfektne hrá Hugh Grant. Druhá séria zachytáva škandalózny rozvod vévodu a vévodkyne z Argyll so skvelou Claire Foy. Seriál nájdete na HBO Go: https://hbogo.sk/serialy/skandal-po-anglicku – A máme pre vás novinku - ak sa strácate v množstve podcastov a neviete, ktoré stoja za váš čas, máme pre vás riešenie.

A dramatic, gripping account of the rise and fall of the notorious business tycoon Robert Maxwell from the acclaimed author of A Very English Scandal - available for pre-order now In February 1991, Robert Maxwell made a triumphant entrance into Manhattan harbour on board his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine. He had come to complete his purchase of the ailing New York Daily News. Crowds lined the quayside to watch his arrival. Taxi drivers stopped their cabs to shake his hand, children asked for his autograph and when Maxwell went to dine in the most fashionable Chinese restaurant in Manhattan, all the diners gave him a standing ovation. 10 months later, he disappeared off the same yacht and was found dead in the water. Within a few days, Maxwell was being reviled as the embodiment of greed and unscrupulousness. No one had ever fallen so far and so quickly. What went so wrong? How did a man who had once laid such store on the importance of ethics and good behaviour become reduced to a bloated, amoral wreck? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

Numa altura em que a produção de "A Very British Scandal" já se encontra em andamento, com Paul Bettany e Claire Foy, relembramos a primeira temporada da série antológica de Stephen Frears, "A Very English Scandal", com Hugh Grant e que garantiu a Ben Whishaw o Emmy de Melhor Ator Secundário numa Minissérie. Destacamos ainda "Quiz", uma minissérie sobre a fraude no concurso "Quem Quer Ser Milionário?", com Matthew Macfadyen, Sian Clifford e Michael Sheen (vencedor do BAFTA TV de Melhor Ator Secundário).

After celebrating “The Hi-Lo Country” we couldn't help ourselves, and we fell into the deep well of Stephen Frears' filmography. You have nothing to Frear but Frears himself. How is the world wrong about this artist? From Andras: I thought I knew Stephen Frears as a director but after bingeing most of his films I realized I've been viewing him through an American lens. No doubt he made some solid Hollywood movies but it's the UK work that reveals his true quality.

Mark Blankenship returns to discuss TWO eminently English scandals from the middle of the last century. Mark brought Amazon's three-part take on the Jeremy Thorpe "business," A Very English Scandal, up for discussion, and we contemplated -- as Toby and I did last week -- how outlawing human behavior turns a whole bunch of humans into criminals, and creates more problems than it solves. We also wondered what English class-division issues we might have missed as Yanks, talked about the gorgeously subtle performances in the series, and giggled at the nicknames of the posh set ("Boofy"!). Later, we talked about a documentary show from 1989 that covered not just the Profumo affair but the 1989 film about it, Scandal, that created a couple scandals of its own. What exactly was the crime there? Because we have a feeling it's more how people talked about Christine Keeler than any kind of felonious infidelity or Cold-War honey-trapping. It's a veddy veddy veddy good day to play croquet in four-inch pumps on The Blotter Presents, Episode 084.
