Goodbye and RIP to C.J. Sansom, who gave us an incredible body of work, most importantly for me Matthew Shardlake. Truly an honour to bring his most famous character to screen and I really think we’ve done him proud. Be at peace C.J. X
RIP C.J. Sansom (1952 – 2024) Bestselling author of the beloved SHARDLAKE series of novels.

What’s the decision behind this
@SpotlightUK
? As if it’s not hard enough for us disabled actors to get in the room, there’s now this sneaky side option to ensure not one gets in? It’s the “whilst understanding my responsibilities part” that truly fucks me off

If you are a disabled person, even if you’re not in the TV or theatre industry, watch this lecture from my friend, and feel empowered. RT this if you know a disabled person who should hear this. Jack Thorne is the voice of the moment.

All disabled people should have access to the means to make their homes fully equipped to their needs. It is dehumanising to sit applying and waiting for grants which will decide whether you can have a quality of life or not.
