Looking for professional actors who would be interested in recording 3x15 min radio dramas, written by new Playwrights and to be broadcast on the BBC. To be recorded on 12th April in front of a live audience. Great for anyone wanting to get a radio credit. Pls msg for info and RT

A desperately sad day for local BBC services of which I've been a part for 20 years. And for all the unkind BBC bashing tweets, local radio provides a lifeline for so many. We all care enormously about our audience, work hard and don't get paid the same as Gary Lineker!
BBC to cut 450 jobs in its English regional TV news and current affairs, local radio and online news

Not only are NHS workers getting paid to park but some are getting clamped and ticketed when they’re working over shift. Why can’t nearby hotels/pubs/restaurants which are now closed give up their (empty) car parks to help hospitals, too?

How my morning began: jammed door in my bedroom and locked in so lowered my

Social media can be great but it amazes and saddens me the number of people who go out of their way to tell you they don’t like you when you’re just trying to do your job. If I don’t like something or someone, I listen or watch something else.

She was so kind to me during my time at EastEnders. I’ll never forget her calling me at home when I was poorly to check if I needed anything as she knew I was on my own. The ultimate professional, a wicked sense of humour and a true legend.
