Since our launch in 1981, there has been proliferation of platforms, channels and catch-up services. In recent years, more people have started to watch television and video content distributed through the internet. Project Dovetail is at the heart of our development strategy. Its premise is that BARB’s services need to harness the strengths of two complementary data sources. - BARB’s panel of 5,100 homes provides representative viewing information that delivers programme reach, demographic viewing profiles and measurement of viewers per screen. - Device-based data from web servers provides granular evidence of how online TV is being watched. The TV Player Report is the first stage of Project Dovetail. It is a beta report that is based on the first outputs from BARB working with UK television broadcasters to generate data about all content delivered through the internet. This on-going development delivers a census-level dataset that details how different devices are being used to view online TV. Stage 2 of Project Dovetail will integrate this dataset with the outputs that our customers are used to receiving from BARB. We are in the final stages of tendering the contract for this stage. More news will follow on how we will deliver this. Click here to watch a short video that brings Project Dovetail to life. Alternatively, contact [email protected] with any questions.

    Disability Visibility Podcast Episode 67: Disabled Actors Guests: Liz Carr Host: Alice Wong Transcript by Cheryl Green For more information: DisabilityVisibilityProject.com/podcast Introduction [hip-hop beat with radio static] LATEEF MCLEOD: This is the Disability Visibility Podcast with your host, Alice Wong. ALICE WONG: Heyyyyy there! Welcome to the Disability Visibility Podcast, conversations on disability politics, culture, and media. I’m your host, Alice Wong. Today I talk with someone who I’ve been a fan of for a long time, Liz Carr, an actor, activist, and comedian based in the UK. I first listened to Liz when she was a co-host for the BBC Ouch podcast with Mat Fraser. Hearing two disabled people cackle and joke was a revelation to me many years ago. There’s no doubt in my mind that Liz and Mat influenced me as a podcaster on how important it is to have disabled people in conversation together. You’ll hear Liz talk about her acting career and the challenges she faces in fighting for characters and storylines that matter. We also discuss her lead role as the crippy, smartass forensic examiner Clarissa Mullery in BBC’s long-running drama, Silent Witness. Are. You. Ready? [electronic beeping] Away we goooooo! ELECTRONIC VOICE: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. ALICE: Liz, thank you so much for being on my podcast today. LIZ CARR: I'm well, I mean, I know who you are. I follow you. We know each other, but we don't know each other. I can't believe I've been to San Francisco and never met you.

    Tristan Bates Theatre 22 September – 03 October 2020 Defibrillator, in association with The Actors Centre, present SUNNYMEAD COURT by Gemma Lawrence Directed by James Hillier Cast Gemma Lawrence Remmie Milner Sound Designer Max Pappenheim Lighting and Video Designer Will Monks Movement Director Chi-San Howard Assistant Director Ewa Dina Producer Jack Holden /TheActorsCentre actorscentre.co.uk theactorscentre_ 020 3841 6600 @theactorscentre 1A Tower Street, London WC2H 9NP The Actors Centre is a Registered Charity, No. 275934. WHO’D PUT ON A PLAY DURING A PANDEMIC? There are so many unknowns. Will anyone actually want to come? We’ve all been at home for six months and still have a season of Selling Sunset to watch. How can you possibly re- spond to what has happened in 2020? Black Lives Matter, Covid, a vacuum of leadership at the highest political levels, a world where human interaction is increasingly digital. Despite all the risks, it feels more necessary than ever to tell stories that will entertain and bring joy into the world. We need to create and can only do that by leaning into the changes. There are new rules. Let’s use them to fuel the work. Gemma Lawrence has written something spectacular and it’s a total thrill that she is appearing in her play alongside the ridicu- lously talented Remmie Milner. After ONLY one and half weeks of rehearsal and tech, here we are! But the journey of Sunnymead Court is not a typical one. The project started out in May, when Mitchell Reeve at The Actors Centre asked Defibrillator to create a socially distanced theatre experiment.

  • Top Pick Friday 9 March 8.30Pm
    1 Top Pick Friday 9 March 8.30pm Harrow Dr. Daniel Harrow is a brilliant, maverick Forensic Pathologist at the Queensland Institute of Forensic Medicine (QIFM). But he’s quitting – the job is getting too much for him and he desperately wants to reconnect with his estranged daughter Fern. He makes Fern a bold promise to leave with her on his yacht Bettie and sail all the way to Bora Bora. However before they weigh anchor, Harrow must deal with one more case. Bruce Reimers is a grieving father whose daughter Olivia’s death was ruled a suicide by Harrow’s colleague, the thorough but unfeeling Fairley. Despite Olivia’s history of mental illness and evidence that Olivia overdosed on medication, Bruce is convinced the overdose was forced. Harrow sets about re-examining Olivia’s corpse and gathering information. While quizzing Detective Sergeant Bryan Nichols, who led the initial investigation, he meets new Scenes of Crime Officer Soroya Dass, a witty, beautiful woman with whom he feels an immediate spark. Harrow continues his off-book investigation and with Simon’s help, he examines Olivia’s body one last time where they find new evidence. But just when Harrow thinks all is well and he can sail to Bora Bora with Fern, a new case lands on his desk. Bones have been discovered in a cocoon of concrete pulled from the Brisbane river. Who do the bones belong to? And who put them there? CAST: Ioan Gruffudd, Robyn Malcolm, Mirrah Foulkes. #HarrowABC Short synopsis Brilliant forensic pathologist Doctor Daniel Harrow investigates the apparent suicide of a young woman whose grieving father suspects she was murdered.

  • MARK ALDRIDGE Crime Files
    MARK ALDRIDGE Crime Files Series Editor Clive Bloom Professor Emeritus Middlesex University London , United Kingdom Since its invention in the nineteenth century, detective fi ction has never been more popular. In novels, short stories, fi lms, radio, television and now in com- puter games, private detectives and psychopaths, poisoners and overworked cops, tommy gun gangsters and cocaine criminals are the very stuff of modern imagination, and their creators one mainstay of popular consciousness. Crime Files is a ground-breaking series offering scholars, students and discerning read- ers a comprehensive set of guides to the world of crime and detective fi ction. Every aspect of crime writing, detective fi ction, gangster movie, true-crime exposé, police procedural and post-colonial investigation is explored through clear and informative texts offering comprehensive coverage and theoretical sophistication.
