    April 2014 Jilla Burgess-Allen Specialty Registrar in Public Health, Derbyshire County Council 1 Executive Summary Health Needs Glossopdale is characterised by its proximity to Manchester to the West and to rural Derbyshire to the East. The boundary issues, geographical location and relative lower level of need compared with the rest of Tameside and Glossop, has impacted on historical service provision within Glossop. Compared with the rest of Derbyshire, Glossop has a relatively high level of substance misuse-related health need. For example, both alcohol related and attributable mortality have, between 2007 and 2011, been higher in Glossopdale than in Derbyshire as a whole, and for alcohol attributable deaths the trend has been increasing in Glossopdale whilst it decreased county wide. Alcohol specific and attributable hospital admissions for men have also been increasing in Glossopdale. Alcohol-related community safety issues have improved in the area over recent years though the area still has a higher rate of alcohol-related violent crime than average for the police division. Class A drug use is seen as relatively low by service providers and agencies working in the area, but interviews with service users suggest there may be a greater problem than agencies are aware of. While service providers report declining prevalence, service users perceive a local increase and report that class A drugs are more available in the area than before. Cannabis use is reported to be high in the area and is perceived to be socially normalised. However, cannabis related offending rates are low. Substance misuse issues are less visible in the area compared to neighbouring Tameside & Greater Manchester, and stigma may play a role in this alongside less visible and accessible service provision.

  • Trends in Political Television Fiction in the UK: Themes, Characters and Narratives, 1965-2009
    This item was submitted to Loughborough’s Institutional Repository (https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/) by the author and is made available under the following Creative Commons Licence conditions. For the full text of this licence, please go to: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ Trends in political television fiction in the UK: Themes, characters and narratives, 1965-2009. 1 Introduction British television has a long tradition of broadcasting ‘political fiction’ if this is understood as telling stories about politicians in the form of drama, thrillers and comedies. Vote, Vote for Nigel Barton (1965) is generally considered the first of these productions for a mass audience presented in the then usual format of the single television play. Ever since there has been a regular stream of such TV series and TV-movies, varying in success and audience appeal, including massive hits and considerable failures. Television fiction has thus become one of the arenas of political imagination, together with literature, art and - to a lesser extent -music. Yet, while literature and the arts have regularly been discussed and analyzed as relevant to politics (e.g. Harvie, 1991; Horton and Baumeister, 1996), political television fiction in the UK has only recently become subject to academic scrutiny, leaving many questions as to its meanings and relevance still to be systematically addressed. In this article we present an historical and generic analysis in order to produce a benchmark for this emerging field, and for comparison with other national traditions in political TV-fiction. We first elaborate the question why the study of the subject is important, what is already known about its themes, characters and narratives, and its capacity to evoke particular kinds of political engagement or disengagement.

  • Mark Gatiss Got His Ideas for the Medusa Touch
    FINAL CUT When cult TV comedy The League Of Gentlemen devoted an episode to bizarre SM games in a provincial B&B, it looked like someone on the team must have remarkable inside knowledge. So we sent Liz Tray to find out just where writer Mark Gatiss got his ideas for The Medusa Touch invention. It turns out that Mark based his character on a chance meeting at a wedding. “He was a photographer and would say things like [in sleazy voice] ‘I’d like to photograph you, you’re very beautiful – let me tell you about the recdum, a beautiful organ’. He actually said ‘recdum’ with a ‘d’!” So none of this remarkable tale was based on actual personal experience of the perv scene? Apparently not. “But,” Mark recalls, “I did cover a Dungeon In The Sky event for Boyz magazine about six years ago. I was not trying to be cynical but it was so funny. I Deep breaths: Daddy (Steve Pemberton) ready to embark on a went to a spanking workshop and it was little light asphyxiation with his Medusa-suited neophytes gloriously unerotic.
