In the drama’s second half, there was no need for guesswork. The mystery trappings had fallen away, leaving behind a raw, emotional drama that told the simplest and saddest of stories – but one with an urgent purpose in its telling.
David Tennant‘s character Tom killed his family. Why? Because he felt that they were his to kill, that his control over them was worth more than their lives. He felt threatened and he felt entitled. And in all of the most important ways, he didn’t feel anything at all.

A recovering drug addict in Dublin tries to save his 12-step mentor in this well-intentioned but implausible drama about assisted dying
This movie from screenwriter Ailbhe Keogan and director Claire Dix is well intentioned – but it’s broad, and for me it does not really do justice to the seriousness of its euthanasia theme. There’s an odd, strained naivety here which goes right up to the silliness (and illegality) of its sentimental climactic scene on a lake.
Barry Ward (from Ken Loach’s Jimmy’s Hall) does his hyperactive utmost with the role of Leon, a recovering smack addict in Dublin and would-be musician who is devoted to his 12-step mentor Iver, a tough-talking old guy who saved him from drugs; this is a fierce performance from veteran player Liam Carney. But Iver is seriously unwell and Leon is astonished one morning when calling round to his flat to find...

Equity, the U.K. trade union for performing arts workers, has called on theater venues and producers to enforce mask-wearing among audience members.
The request is in light of a surge in the Omicron variant of coronavirus, of which the U.K. already has 437 detected cases.
“The new Omicron variant of coronavirus threatens the fragile return of live performance in theaters, pubs, clubs and other venues across a critical Christmas season. The joy and togetherness of live performance is sorely needed in a dark winter after a tumultuous two years, and it’s critical that the industry is protected,” said a statement from Equity general secretary Paul W. Fleming and president Maureen Beattie.
“Equity urges all members to play their part in keeping this threat at bay by ensuring that they are fully vaccinated if they are able. Crucially, producers and venues must up the ante on the enforcement of...

Exclusive: Actors’ union Equity has condemned BBC plans to scrap Radio 4’s 15 Minute Drama slot, an audio institution that has featured stories starring the likes of Helen McCrory, Bill Nighy, and Sian Clifford.
In an open letter to BBC director general Tim Davie, Equity representatives said the plans are part of a pattern of cuts that are “piercing the heart of a vital art form” and undermine the UK’s “booming audio industry.”
“The very direct impact of this loss of work on Equity members will hinder the ability of some to remain in the creative industries,” the letter said. “After a year where work in entertainment and the arts has proved vital to the world’s wellbeing, a workforce which is looking to the BBC to provide quality engagements has found itself abandoned whilst theatre fights to reopen sustainably.”

U.K. entertainment industry union Equity has pledged £1 million ($1.2 million) to support its members who have been affected by the pandemic-induced industry shutdown.
Equity is asking for more donations, stating that the vast majority of its 47,000 members earn modest sums and do not have savings as a fall-back option. The appeal for further donations is led by Oscar-winning “Bridge of Spies” actor Mark Rylance.
“Most of us are not famous, are not rich,” Rylance said. “We are hired for our flexibility, our willingness to drop everything and turn up. We as a union can begin now to set an example. A wonderful example of what our profession is truly about. Support for each other on and off stage. I am 60 this year, 40 years an actor and union member. I hope to meet young actors when I am 80 who ask me how we supported each other so generously during the coronavirus crisis.

UK entertainment union Equity, which has close to 50,000 members, has pledged £1M ($1.2M) to its Benevolent fund to support struggling members. The money, which is being injected as a result of coronavirus disruption, comes from funds earmarked for union campaigns and the union’s reserve. The union is asking those who can contribute to add to the fund, a call led by Oscar-winner and Equity member Mark Rylance, who we understand has donated “a significant amount”. Equity President Maureen Beattie said, “It’s difficult enough to make a living in the entertainment business at the best of times, but now thousands of Equity members are facing the greatest financial hardship of their lives. While the government’s new scheme for the self-employed is welcome, Equity members are in dire need right now and cannot wait for all the details to be ironed out. Please support the fund if you can.

A total of 13,000 people including the actors Richard E. Grant and Peter Capaldi have signed a letter demanding the UK government provides an income guarantee for creative freelancer workers impacted by the coronavirus crisis.
There have been growing calls this week for freelancers to receive similar support to that which the government has put in place for employed workers, including saying it will cover 80% of wages while businesses remain disrupted, to stop employers needing to cull staff.

Equity, the UK union that represents 47,000 performers and creative practitioners, has delivered a letter to Number 10 Downing Street calling for protection of the BBC, a simplified European visa for creative practitioners, and an increase of funding for the creative industries in the government’s forthcoming budget.
Equity president Maureen Beattie will deliver the letter alongside fellow performers Miriam Margolyes, Susannah Harker, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith and Tony Robinson.
The BBC is facing a tricky period after unnamed government sources threatened to “whack” the British broadcaster by scrapping the license fee and forcing it to radically scale back its services. In response, a “save our BBC” petition has attracted 250,000+ signatures to date.
The visas question arises from the UK’s exit from the European Union, which will restrict some freedom of movement for workers after the Brexit transition period ends on December 31 2020. The government is planning to introduce a points-based system for immigrants,...

Peter Capaldi's first Christmas special in the Doctor Who lead role came laden with tangerines. But was it any good?
This review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here.
Last Christmas
"A skeleton man, and a girl in her nightie"
It's one heck of a gamble to go for an hour long Doctor Who Christmas special, where all but a few minutes at the end turn out to be a dream. Yet that's just what Steven Moffat pulled off with his far improved Yuletide episode, Last Christmas.
As he confirmed at the Q&A after the press screening, everything you see in the episode, from the first scene onwards, is strictly a dream, up until the finale, and the placing of Last Christmas' final tangerine. A poignant tangerine, that also seems to suggest that Santa is real. That's a mystery solved, then.
