Angeline - A film by Dallas Road Primary 'Angeline', a film by Dallas Road Primary School, created with Lancaster Film Initiative and Ian Martin.

If you could chuck a few bob our way I'd be very grateful. It's an immersive school project. The kids get hands-on experience of the filming process as well. They, and Lancaster Film Institute, are amazing. Please repost/share/bung us! Thanks, you're amazing too, whatever.

Definitely remembered by me as this was the only cassette I had for my Walkman on a 6 and a bit hour train journey from Lincoln to Torquay at the time.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

I’m in tonight’s Death Valley on BBC1. Don’t think I’m in it that much but I’m in it and it was fun so that’s the important thing.

I think it’s the only way I can work now. Coming up to nearly a decade and get so much more done in less time than before.

At last, I’ve found a crime drama to enjoy β€” it’s even got jokes

BBC1’s Death Valley with Timothy Spall is as charming as it is absurd β€” it’s like Midsomer Murders at its best

A Former TV Sleuth Turns Real-Life Detective In Witty Cozy Crime Drama Death Valley Timothy Spall steals the show as a former TV sleuth turned real-life detective in BritBox's latest cozy crime offering, Death Valley.

Timothy Spall plays a famous TV sleuth who starts helping solve crimes in real life in BritBox's warm and utterly charming new crime drama #DeathValley, and I desperately hope it finds the audience it deserves. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

Death Valley starts tonight at 8:15 on BBC1. Here I am half way up a mountain in the Brecon Beacons last summer. There are worse jobs.

105 cyclists/yr are killed by cars in the UK.

Cars kill or seriously injure 1,233 child pedestrians (u16) per year.

Changing the law is meaningless because so few people are killed by bicycles. The only effect will be to give drivers an even greater sense of entitlement to endanger others

Exclusive: the state pension is being siphoned off abroad And HMRC has no idea where it’s going to.

Did you know that people who have lived in the UK for just three years, who may never have worked here, can buy a full state pension?

It would be good to know how many people overseas are doing this. So I asked HMRC. They don't know: www.newstatesman.com/politics/eco...
