Starting a 5 week course with @screenyorkshire.bsky.social today which will introduce me to the film and television industries in great detail.
Really looking forward to getting to know everyone - we’re all desperate to find a way in to working in either!

Alan Yentob, former BBC executive and TV presenter, dies aged 78 Wife pays tribute to ‘profoundly moral man’ who was ‘creative in every cell of his body’

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?
