@GLTalent
For me, this is about finding the best for projects I work with, people I personally rate not just those with big numbers.
If I DM you, it’s cos you’ve got something.
Having spent years working with presenters/media talent including via my own agency, I’m now also involved in the

gaming world as a KOL/Influencer Strategist.
It’s different but requires the same key skills: be nice, be honest, be grateful.
Am loving it, and the talent 🥳
Incredible, important drama from
@ITV
. The horror of a major British brand stamping on people as it traded truth and decency for greed and profit. ‘Christian’ Paula Vennells must return her CBE, the Post Office must compensate victims. CBE for Mr Bates!

I’m bisexual and if I saw that flag, I’d feel more like he’d understand me rather than be prejudiced against me. We spent centuries hiding away because people like you claim it’s about a badge but actually wish we didn’t exist, so deal with your own issue and leave us alone
Final word: nobody from Netflix, Amazon, Sky, ITV, Disney nor any commercial platform supports scrapping the licence fee. They make so much here due to the great talent we’ve developed, much of it at the

TV/media folk: when people are applying for a job/opportunity pls find time to write back and/or announce when decisions are made, esp if you’ve asked them to spend time doing something to apply. It means a lot to folk, many of whom are struggling to keep motivated right now 👌❤️

@KayBurley
Part of Kay's job is to hold politicians and people in authority to account by asking them questions the public would ask. She did that today. You're just afraid of the power of people when it's truly displayed
Stunned to hear Andrew Bridgen “lied under oath, behaved in an abusive, arrogant and aggressive way,” when he seems such a nice, honourable man. Here he is sympathetically chatting to families of people who died of Covid on the way to a slap-up Tory dinner
Just realised that this is the first time ever that we have THREE actors being the Doctor at the same time. One awaiting departure, one filming, one awaiting arrival

RTD/Davros. I don’t wanna bang on, but…
This kid is me aged 5. I had Perthes’ disease, was registered disabled and often used a wheelchair. Some kids were kind, some stared at me.
RTD is thinking of this kid and kids like him. As a grown man, that means a lot.
@antmiddleton
This is what happens when people in our current Government spent years baiting. Allowing racist language and anti-immigrant lies to go unchecked. Smirking when ending freedom of movement. Encouraging working class people to think foreigners were the problem. Creating divisions

No spoilers, but what you’ll witness with Ep 5 is one of the most amazing pieces of TV drama ever.
@russelldavies63
is a genius. The voice of people who the world hates for being born different, and who reveals the true price we pay for that toxicity
When I worked at the BBC, we’d get sent the viewers log, detailing emails/calls/letters about specific shows and channels. Every single day there were complaints about black, LGBTQ+ and even disabled people appearing on shows, so 144 complaints is unsurprising and will be ignored
When I was working at CBBC, this is one of the very, very few non-CBBC trailers we could play on the CBBC Channel. I seem to remember I made a lot more time for showings of this trailer during the presentation blocks than was planned (I also did for S2 ssssh) 😂👌
#DoctorWho
@GaryLineker
Please sue him. These culture war-stoking 2019 Tory MPs have been deliberately causing trouble, about time one of them was held responsible for what they say
I bet Laurence Fox’s agent told him he was unemployable because he’s made himself unemployable by spending all his time being political. He was never a good actor anyway, the only thing that got him this level of fame was his privilege and family name. But no, he’s a victim again
Multi-millionaire Lord Sugar on
#ThisMorning
telling everyone to get back to their offices. A man who ‘commutes’ via chauffeur driven cars and can afford luxury houses near his workplaces. Seems to be the new 2020 thing: rich people telling everyday folk that they’re to blame
JK has gone down the rabbit hole hasn't she? How very sad. I guess next we'll have the anti-Stonewall tweets, and she'll be telling her 14m followers what's right and what's wrong about

@AliAlimarymar
She was never elected by the people, so the idea that her downfall was "anti-democratic" is absurd. Arguably that would be true of Boris, but Liz? Opportunist who saw a chance of power, took it, messed it up because she was totally incomptent. Done your work for you, Ali
What an excellent ep of
#CalltheMidwife
- superb handling of political issues, hot topics of the day, with women frustrated by the old male society oppressing opinions and their lives. Love the way it battles with religious issues too. One of the thematically deepest dramas on TV
Many years ago, I fell out with a friend who worked with me in TV. He went on to present a major national radio show and one morning, he found the opportunity not only to name me but to slag me off in front of his 1-2 million listeners. It was beyond humiliating. (1/3)
When S9 aired, I wasn’t a fan. To me it felt too dark for the fun teatime show I wanted Who to be. However, I’ve been rewatching it lately, and found it to be a rich part of the canon: complex, deep and challenging. Capaldi and Coleman are superb. I’m v glad it exists
#DoctorWho
When presenters talk, it feels to the public like they're speaking on behalf of an organisation. They have a fundamental duty to treat people with dignity. What Laurence Fox and Dan Wootton did to Ava Evans was not only abuse, it was assault.
@GBNews
should fire them now. (3/3)
One of the biggest unanswered BBC questions is why on Earth they don’t put
#CBBC
dramas on BBC One Sunday afternoons. I’m baffled. So much good stuff is made by CBBC and goes ignored by adults who would love it. Children’s drama needs more attention by ALL
There’s a lovely Christmas special-themed report from

doing the rounds on BBC News. The ending is so wonderful, with Ncuti expressing pure joy

@SkyNews
The Home Secretary appearing to congratulate a fellow MP for using the police as a political tool. This should be cause for an inquiry and in any decent democracy the removal of them both from public office
@JennyGlover40
@MayorofLondon
Because when people life their truth they live happier lives, which means they’ll be more productive, loving, and better human beings. However if someone lives purely with hate, they will contaminate a society with toxicity. Avoid the latter, Jenny. Have a lovely day
I think a lot of concern about changing Davros comes from a truth we fans often swerve:
#DoctorWho
is made primarily for kids.
If they can avoid showing a villain in a wheelchair because it risks giving kids negative ideas about disabled people, then they absolutely should.
@HamillHimself
You’re great, Mark Hamill, a proper hero for children everywhere. Inspiring and open minded. Wanting kids to be who they feel they are. You were my hero and now your a hero for another generation ❤️
I see that blaming Coronavirus for Brexit-related problems has already started. Problems on farms were reported back in December, months before Coronavirus even hit

You can respect Captain Tom Moore's memory while simultaneously feeling uncomfortable about taking part in an event backed by a Government that fails to uphold any of the values he fought for, and which fails to properly fund an institution he campaigned for

@amandajplatell
I like him a lot. I like that he really annoys the worst kind of people too. Good for him, living his life, loving it and dealing with his unimaginable grief, while you people get so angry that he dare exist. I plan to celebrate him more often now
@CharlieSansom
I see you’re now RTing anti-Muslim racists, Charlie. Your political ‘insight’ is merely a weak smokescreen for prejudice, and it’s a tired old bandwagon, fella.
I always find it amusing that most
#DoctorWho
fans don’t watch live, scheduled TV and say “it’s not promoted enough”. I’ve been staying with mum for Easter, watching live TV, and the Sea Devils trailer was on a LOT. The idea that the BBC hide expensive prime time shows is absurd
@OliverDowden
No he didn’t. He broke the rules, didn’t ask for advice from a local authority was was advised by Jenny Harries, and ultimately broke the SPIRIT of what was a rule. Your defence of him is shameful and you’ve opened the gates to people doing what they want now
Still blows my mind that the

: watch it, talk about it, share it, tell your kids and family about it. There’s a lot of love for its past, but not enough for its present. If we’re going to keep quality British children’s content, we all need to be celebrating it
Paul Dano as John Lennon? Jacob Elordi as Paul McCartney? Timothée Chalamet as George Harrison?
There are four Beatles movies on the way from director Sam Mendes. Let the dream casting begin.
Dame Andrea Jenkyns on BBC News seemed confused about why the Conservatives have lost so many seats in the local elections.
Someone should let her know that the fact she was made *Dame* Andrea Jenkyns for doing absolutely sod all while behaving like this is part of the answer.
Huge applause for RTD’s powerful speech about how important it is to represent disabled people and others on TV in a proper way. This man knows what it means to be “excluded from society”, he gets it, and I love him for his unapologetic stance

@Lorna_TVeditor
Absolutely extraordinary how much she’s hated by these people. I’ve said it before but while we’ve been worried about our kids being radicalised by social media, the adults are the ones it has truly impacted
Two women on the bus talking about the state of the NHS, talking about friends left on trolleys in the corridors, and how there won’t be an NHS nor pensions when their children retire. As they tutted away, they started blaming it all on immigrants. Tory media is a plague
At the time, I didn’t enjoy nor appreciate episodes like ‘Listen’ because I didn’t think this was what
#DoctorWho
should be doing. Now, I’m super glad this stuff was made, because Moffat took the show to another level where he could explore themes and ideas like no other show can
@danny__kruger
Abuse is unacceptable but “they’re human beings with a small child” is a rebrand of the more accurate “he’s a senior advisor to the Government who was more than aware of the lockdown rules and how the rest of the country was having to cope in similar circumstances”. He should go

We had a democratic election in this country and the winning party stood on a platform promising to enact the very Withdrawal Agreement they now intend to rip apart. How is that a victory for democracy?
