Channel 5 is hosting a Digital Regional Press Screening & Q&A for new period drama, The Forsytes (from makers of Poldark).

It’s designed for hyperlocal and niche media, giving journalists outside London a chance to take part, see Ep 1 early & join a live Q&A with cast and writer Debbie Horsfield.

The word 'despite' is suggesting this is all some kind of inconvenience that'll inevitably be resolved.

Call it what it is. Copyright theft.

Okay then, Google: tell us what to do | The future of entertainment websites Google's search results are, sadly, damaging lots of websites. What does Google actually want? And is it what a human being would want?

Also: the impact AI is having on entertainment publishing too.

That said, I've got form for career suicide, so I get it.

I've had a few quiet notes of support from people at other publishing companies about this. But there's also a fear of calling Google out, for fear of the power it has. I get it, but it's pretty lonely out here.

If you could wait there 36 hours or so? Think of it as a remake of The Terminal, but with more branches of Pret?
