What everyone needs to know is that Channel Four in the UK last night broadcast what is the the most important ever film on the subject The UN Sex Abuse Scandal. I will send you a copy if your bosses don't . I was in charge of it, You need to know.

Laura said something really nice about me as her mentor so I declare an interest. But in this podcast, her clear message to young people from diverse background is,’You can be me’.

Why was Florence Pugh naked? Did they run out of money to clothe her as there was certainly no dramatic justification for a fine actor to be short of a shirt. All that stuff about the universe and we women viewers had to put up with everyday sexism on earth.
