Events at the Exchange SEPT-DEC19 A5 Booklet 19-245 JUL19.Indd What’s on at The Exchange September-December 2019 @ExchangeTwick @exchangetwickenham @exchangetwickenham www.exchangetwickenham.co.uk 020 8240 2399 Welcome In October 2019 The Exchange will have been open for two years, managed by St Mary’s University. As of July this year we have hosted just over 200 public events. Around 50 of these have been showcases of young people’s performing arts in partnership with local stage schools, state schools or colleges. Around 50 of the events have been sold out and have included top comedians and personalities coming to Twickenham for the first time. 60 of the events have been films, giving the local public a cinema option it didn’t have previously. In our studio rooms and conservatory we have a steady stream of community groups having training, meetings, wellbeing classes and young people practicing performing arts. St Mary’s University utilises The Exchange for several degree classes, particularly acting and drama, so that in term time the building becomes a hub of young people developing in one way or another. I like to think we are well on our way to fulfilling our vision for the building, that “The Exchange will provide space and opportunity for creativity, expression, learning and enjoyment”. Inside this brochure you will find a varied and diverse array of events. There is a strong Shakespearean theme with Shakespeare Schools’ Festival with us for a week, and the more comic production of Sh*t- Faced Shakespeare for three nights. We also bring Panto to Twickenham in December for two weeks over Christmas. Apart from those initiatives there is theatre, film and live music, all of which need an audience. Please come along, and please tell your friends, so that The Exchange continues to grow and provide a great arts service for Twickenham.

Compare the recent Gillian Anderson stage version with this black-and-white original; a film that deserves to be seen on the big screen. Film September 2019 events Richmond Film Society Presents: Cold War 10th September, 8pm |£5/£3 (full-time students) Paweł Pawlikowski’s acclaimed and visually stunning drama is a passionate love story between two people from different backgrounds who are fatefully drawn to each other. Set during the Cold War in the 1950s, the film depicts an impossible love story in impossible times. Talk The Ideas Exchange 11th September, 1pm | £5 St Mary’s University is delighted to launch the first of three ‘Ideas Exchange’ events this academic year. The Ideas Exchange is a series of quick-fire lectures from a range of top academics. Each thought-provoking talk is only eight minutes long (or short) and will usually cover a wealth of topics from media, politics and history, to sport, emotions and science. This event is a special football takeover, with a line-up that includes a diverse panel of guest speakers from different coaching and sport science backgrounds within the football industry. Comedy Sajeela Kershi and Guests – Immigrant Diaries 14th September, 8pm | £10/£8 (concs) Sajeela’s award-winning show, Immigrant Diaries, returns to the tour circuit post Brexit/Trump and the anti-immigration/refugee rhetoric blamed for the rise in hate crimes. Irrespective of which side of the debate you sit on, this show is for all. A chance to hear some sublime true stories from a cast of performers from somewhere else. All with one thing in common; statistics don’t tell the story, people do. What’s on at The Exchange September-December 2019 | 3 September 2019 events Music Paul Jones and Dave Kelly 17th September, 8pm | £25 Founder members of The Blues Band, Paul Jones and Dave Kelly’s tangled and colourful roots go way back into the true undergrowth of the tradition. As well as their own original material, they not only know and perform the work of the greats – ranging from Howlin’ Wolf and John Lee Hooker through to Sonny Boy Williamson – they actually played alongside them, and enjoyed their friendship. A live acoustic set by this dynamic duo is an occasion you’ll remember. If you’re a true Blues fan, everything you need is here. Comedy Token Man Comedy 18th September, 8pm | £10/£8 (concs) Token Man Comedy is a new comedy night coming to The Exchange that will always seek to feature women comedians as well as including a ‘Token Man’ in the line-up. We present the best in female comedy and female comedians but, because we think it’s important to be inclusive, we always have a chap on the bill, and he’s always one of the good ones, so fear not! Reversing the zeitgeist of the traditional, box-ticking girl on most traditional comedy nights or game show panels, we thought it would be fun to see how it works the other way around. Film Richmond Film Society Presents: Shoplifters 24th September, 8pm | £5/£3 (full-time students) Hirokazu Koreeda’s Palme d’Or winning drama… After a spell of shoplifting, Osamu and his son run into a homeless girl shivering with cold. Osamu’s wife is not keen to take her in but she eventually feels sorry for her. Then, an incident unveils a secret that tests their bond. Winner of 43 awards and shortlisted for the 2019 Foreign Language Film Oscar. 4 | Exhbition Secret Art Sale 28th & 29th September, 11am-6pm Sat/11am-5pm Sun | £3 (children under 12 FREE) Members only entry, Sat 10.30-11am Now in its fourth year, the art sale with a twist is back! Royal Academicians, local artists and art students all kindly donate work, but you don’t find out the artist until the art is bought. All art just £40. Proceeds go to the Environment Trust. October 2019 events Talk Angela Saini – Superior 1st October, 7.30pm | £7/£5 (concs) As ethnic nationalism rises around the world, race science is experiencing a revival, fuelled by the abuse of data and facts by politically motivated groups. The story of who humans are and how we evolved is being rewritten to suit their agendas. Even well-intentioned scientists, through their unconscious use of old-fashioned categories, betray their suspicion that race has some basis in biology. In truth, it is no more real than it was hundreds of years ago, when racial categories were invented and hardened by those in power. In Superior, award-winning author Angela Saini explores the concept of race, from its origins to the present day. Film Twickenham Cinema Club Presents: Dazed and Confused 2nd October, 7.30pm |£6/£7 (on the door) Richard Linklater’s ’90s account of a group of 1976 high school teens seems like a superficial laid-back comedy, but is also an accomplished film that gradually draws you into the awkwardness of youth. With clever character development and a deftness of scriptwriting, it reveals a more complicated set of stories that sum up ‘coming of age’ with natural direction and confidence that made this film a cult favourite. Ben Affleck, Matthew McConnaughey and Parker Posey are just some of the actors making their early career highs. What’s on at The Exchange September-December 2019 | 5 October 2019 events Comedy Manford’s Comedy Club 4th October, 8pm | £12.50/£10 (concs) Manford’s Comedy Club was launched by comedian Jason Manford and his brother Colin just over two years ago. The idea was to bring comedians from the UK circuit to small towns and cities across the country for a night of live comedy. The show features up-and-coming performers as well as more well-known names and are all personally chosen by Jason himself. Line up: Chris McCausland, Mo Omar, Paul Pirie and Roger Monkhouse Film Richmond Film Society Presents: Birds of Passage 8th October, 8pm | £5/£3 (full-time students) A tale of power and greed, ‘Birds of Passage’ tells of the rise and fall of a revered Wayuu family deep in the Colombian countryside.

  • Dave Gorman's Important Astrology Experiment
    AVALON PUBLIC RELATIONS PRESS INFORMATION DAVE GORMAN’S IMPORTANT ASTROLOGY EXPERIMENT DAVE GORMAN’S IMPORTANT ASTROLOGY EXPERIMENT Every day millions of people consult their horoscopes. Is it wise to follow the advice of astrologers? The world of science has not been brave enough to answer this question. Until now. Step forward DAVE GORMAN (Pisces). He’s a multi award-winning comedian, but in this brand new series he’s also an ‘unorthodox experimental scientist’ on a real life comic adventure into the world of astrology. For 40 days and 40 nights DAVE GORMAN has given up normal life. Instead he has scoured the horoscopes of 20 leading astrologers. His task – to follow their advice. To ignore speculation, prediction and guesswork, but at all times to follow instruction and pursue luck. A control experiment, a man born at the same time and in the same place has ignored his horoscopes. Whose life will turn out better? Over six, thirty-minute episodes on BBC TWO, Dave will present the evidence to an astrologically balanced studio audience. Receiving help and guidance from three world-renowned, independent experts in the fields of Love, Health and Wealth – DENISE ROBERTSON (TV agony aunt and Gemini), HILARY JONES (TV doctor and Gemini) and ALVIN HALL (TV financial advisor and Cancer) – the audience will then vote on whether DAVE’S or the control’s life is turning out better. Whatever the result, we guarantee it will verify that, in DAVE’S world at least truth is stranger than fiction. Dave Gorman’s Important Astrology Experiment is a BBC Production.

  • 2008 Programme Review
    CHANNEL 4 REVIEW OF 2008 Major Themes in 2008 2008 was a year of dramatic creative renewal for Channel 4. In March, the organisation published Next on 4, a policy document laying out its public service vision for the future. Creative renewal in the schedule was evident even before then, with a raft of new programming in January occupying the space occupied in previous years by Celebrity Big Brother, which was rested. Over the course of the year, a range of authored series and campaigning programmes exemplified Channel 4’s renewed commitment to high-impact programming capable of engaging mass-market audiences, stimulating debate and generating interest in important social, political and cultural issues. However, Channel 4’s ability to fulfil its public service ambitions were curtailed by the downturn in the advertising market towards the end of the year, leading to significant reductions in the programming budget for both 2008 and 2009. In an increasingly competitive environment, Channel 4’s portfolio of channels and services maintained its viewing share at 11.9 per cent. The core channel share fell from 8.7 per cent in 2007 to 8.2 per cent in 2008. Next on 4 Dramatic changes are reshaping the UK broadcasting ecology, as it moves towards a fully digital world. Viewers will have access to dozens, if not hundreds of channels, as well as the rapidly growing variety of video services delivered online. In this context, Channel 4 reaffirmed its commitment in Next on 4 to remain a publicly-owned public service broadcaster whose primary purpose is the fulfilment of its legislative remit.

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.

The Court of Appeal has allowed four days for the new hearing which will start on Monday 21 October. There will be four appeals which will be heard at the same time. The boroughs will say that the government made legal errors in the steps leading up to the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) and therefore it should be quashed. The Court of Appeal will hear how the Secretary of State failed to consult properly on noise – excluding people who may be significantly affected. It was not possible to assess the noise impact for communities based on actual flight paths as these were not known. The councils will also show how the Secretary of State failed to consider the effect of expansion on local plans. They will also argue that the Secretary of State did not properly consider the significant adverse impact of Heathrow expansion on protected habitats.
