  • A Critical Perspective on the Legacy of the London 2012 Paralympic Games
    A Critical Perspective on the Legacy of the London 2012 Paralympic Games A Critical Perspective on the Legacy of the London 2012 Paralympic Games Ian BRITTAIN, Ph.D. （Coventry University） Introduction Despite the fact that there has been a large body of work produced over the last decade or so that has examined major sport event legacies and event leverage, largely with respect to the Olympic Games, Misener et al. claim that ‘few studies have evaluated the comparative outcomes, legacies and event leverage that the Paralympic Games have generated1）’. This is despite the fact that, in many ways, the Paralympic Games, and their forerunners the Stoke Mandeville Games, were actually founded upon the basis of a kind of ‘legacy plan’ designed to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Before the Second World War, there is little evidence of organised efforts to develop or promote sport for individuals with disabling conditions, especially those with spinal injuries who were considered to have no hope of surviving their injuries. Following the war, however, medical authorities were prompted to re-evaluate traditional methods of rehabilitation which were not satisfactorily responding to the medical and psychological needs of the large number of soldiers disabled in combat2）. According to McCann, Dr Ludwig Guttmann （the universally accepted founder of the Paralympic movement） recognised the physiological and psychological values of sport in the rehabilitation of paraplegic hospital inpatients3） and so it was at that point that sport was introduced as part of their rehabilitation. The aim was not only to give hope and a sense of self-worth to the patients, but to change the attitudes of society towards the spinally injured by demonstrating to them that they could not only continue to be useful members of society, but could take part in activities and complete tasks that most of the non- disabled society would struggle with4）.

Shakespeare’s Globe is proud to have played a part in those celebrations in 197 countries and led the festivities in London, where Shakespeare wrote and worked. Our Globe to Globe Hamlet tour travelled 193,000 miles before coming home for a final emotional performance in the Globe to mark the end, not just of this phenomenal worldwide journey, but the artistic handover from Dominic Dromgoole to Emma Rice. A memorable season of late Shakespeare plays in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and two outstanding Globe transfers in the West End ran concurrently with the last leg of the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour. On Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April, we welcomed President Obama to the Globe. Actors performed scenes from the late plays running in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Southwark Cathedral, a service which was the only major civic event to mark the anniversary in London and was attended by our Patron, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.

  • JOSH WIDDICOMBE SITCOM PILOT NOW AVAILABLE on BBC Iplayer
    JOSH WIDDICOMBE SITCOM PILOT NOW AVAILABLE ON BBC iPLAYER Josh Widdicombe's sitcom pilot 'JOSH' is now available to watch and download via BBC iPlayer as part of the BBC's Comedy Feed strand. 'JOSH' is a brand new semi-autobiographical sitcom from acclaimed stand-up comedian, Josh Widdicombe, who plays himself. Written by Josh and Tom Craine, the impressive ensemble cast also includes Jack Dee as irritating landlord Geoff plus top Welsh stand-up Elis James as flatmate, Owen. To view 'JOSH' please click on the following BBC iPlayer link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p022cfq2/comedy-feeds-2014-1-josh Programme Info: 'JOSH' WRITTEN BY JOSH WIDDICOMBE AND TOM CRAINE PRODUCED BY SIMON MAYHEW-ARCHER DIRECTED BY DAVID SCHNEIDER Sometimes life just isn’t fair. For Josh, sometimes feels like always. Dumped by his fiancée, Josh is forced to return to his old flat-share with Owen, the most romantic and lyrical Welshman since records began (and that includes Tom Jones) and Kate, who spends her life pursuing every trend from A to Zumba. All Josh wants is a night in with his flatmates to get over his heartbreak, but Owen is too busy pursuing a love interest he met in the greengrocers, whilst Kate is consumed with trying to reinvent her Spotify profile in order to impress a guy. Subsequently, Josh ends up spending his time with Geoff, a shoo-in for this year's Most Irritating Landlord Award, and a local barmaid who's convinced Josh is "on the spectrum"...the Local Weirdo/Serial Killer spectrum.

    ADAM HILLS Comedian/Writer/Broadcaster/Presenter Adam Hills is one of Australia’s best-known comedians, mainly as the five- time Gold Logie nominated host of his two hit ABC TV series – the music quiz show Spicks and Specks and his unique take on the late night talk show, Adam Hills Tonight. Already a gold-plated star in Australia, Adam has now taken the UK by storm with his own talk show on Channel Four, The Last Leg. Originally a one-off series for the 2012 London Paralympics, the Poms loved him so much it has been on air ever since! In 2020, Adam also managed to sneak home to reboot ‘Spicks’ for a group of specials airing in 2021 on the ABC. When Adam isn’t dominating the global TV landscape, he is usually somewhere in the world with a mic in hand doing his day job – globetrotting stand-up comedian. His latest show, Shoes Half Full, was performed at the 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the 2021 Sydney Comedy Festival. "Hills delivers stand up so effortlessly brilliant you wonder why some comedians even get out of bed" The Guardian, London “If you cannot enjoy Adam Hills you cannot have a pulse. Four Stars” The Scotsman “Hills’s wit is incisively dry and sharp and his observations are bitingly precise” Sunday Herald Sun “[his] interaction with the audience proved so fruitful that they were reluctant to release him back on to the stage” ★★★★★The Scotsman “an Adam Hills show is always a festival highlight…with real weight, wit and purpose behind his contagious positivity” Chortle (UK) TELEVISION 2021 ABC TV Spicks & Specks
