From 11th April, when you pass a Talking Statue, swipe your smartphone on a nearby plaque and presto, get a call back from John Bunyan (as voiced by Matt Berry), Big Band leader Glenn Miller (written by Toby Litt) or a 5-metre tall silver face (as voiced by Al Murray)! Each has a story to tell. Together, they tell Bedford’s story. While most monologues have been created by leading writers and actors with a Bedford connection, The Place Theatre also worked with inmates at HM Prison Bedford to write a monologue for prison reformer John Howard. This will be voiced by Bond actor Colin Salmon. Matt Berry: “Being born in Bedford, the John Bunyan statue was an integral part of growing up. Even if you didn’t know who he was, you couldn’t fail to notice him. I like the fact that he went to prison and wrote a bestseller while he was there! So if you should go to prison, why not write a book - because you might get your own statue!” Using drama, humour and location technology, Talking Statues COMPETITION: breathes new life into the statues that surround us. Some approaches Give a Statue a Voice! are dramatic, others comic and others flights of pure fantasy. All aim to persuade the public look at the statues with new eyes.

PUB DATE 93 NOTE 30p. AVAILABLE FROMStaff College, Coombe Lodge, Blagdon, Bristol BS18 6RG, England, United Kingdom (2.50 British pounds).

DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

  • Comedic Indexes (See Bell 2001A, 2001B)
    Indexes: comedic, humorous and laughable (for all the right reasons) Paula Clarke Bain, Marketing Director, Society of Indexers The set -up An index can provide an entertaining conclusion to a book in its own right. Some indexes can be unfortunately laughable for entirely the wrong reasons, but many authors and indexers choose to add deliberate humour to this final part of the book, and some do this very well. Over the last couple of years, I have been writing a series of blog posts on the comedy book index on my website ( baindex.org ), some of which have become articles for The Indexer journal (Bain 2017, 2018), continuing the fine tradition of Hazel Bell’s reviews of comedic indexes (see Bell 2001a, 2001b). I’m pleased to present an overview of some recent examples for this issue of Catalogue and Index . I have always had a great interest in comedy in my leisure time, and I have indexed a lot of books in my work hours, having been a full -time freelancer since 2001. It’s been a great delight to me, as both a comedy and indexing fan, to see that many of my favourite comedy writers have recently produced books that have plenty of humorous material in their indexes. These include Francis Wheen, Charlie Brooker, Richard Ayoade, and the writers of the Alan Partridge and Steven Toast characters, all of which I review below. Strange indexes indeed: Francis Wheen The earliest of these were two books by Francis Wheen, journalist and deputy editor of Private Eye magazine. How Mumbo -Jumbo Conquered the World was published in 2004 and Strange Days Indeed followed in 2009.

The ceremony was hosted by Graham Norton at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, where presenters included Chris O’Dowd, Archie Panjabi, Mary Berry, Maisie Williams, David Harewood, Jason Isaacs, Anna Friel, Tess Daly and Steve Coogan. There were two awards for The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies, with Jason Watkins receiving his career-first BAFTA in the hotly contested Leading Actor category.

In the Supporting Actress category Gemma Jones, who was last nominated in 1977, received her first ever BAFTA, for Marvellous, the feature-length biopic of Neil Baldwin. Marvellous was also successful against strong competition in the Single Drama category.
