Hexham Book Festival HEXHAM BOOK FESTIVAL 24th April – 3rd May 2020 www.hexhambookfestival.co.ukwww.queenshall.co.uk 01 Welcome to Hexham Book Festival 2020 Life, O Henry said, is mainly laughter and sniffles. We’ve plenty of each at this year’s Hexham Book Festival alongside doses of insight and illumination, geography, biography, geology, ecology and cookery. Sir Oliver Letwin and Paul Mason share their concerns about the way tech is shaping our world. John Suchet and A.N Wilson reveal the darkness in the lives of two of the artistic giants of the nineteenth century. Shifting – slightly – from reality, the irrepressible Jenny Eclair talks about a novel that endorses O Henry’s maxim, there’s a chance to sample a trio of the biggest forthcoming books of 2020 at The Proof Party and Holly McNish delivers a storming poetry set. And then, inevitably, there’s Brexit. Ed Stourton and Gavin Esler are on hand to offer their views of the gift that keeps on giving. This year we are also delighted to welcome the Spiegeltent to the Festival. Situated in the Abbey Grounds, this quirky, cosy Belgian mirrored tent will be hosting The Gillian Dickinson Trust Children’s Festival with events for children, young people and their families. We’re excited to have Specsavers Hexham as principal sponsor of the 2020 Festival – helping us all to see and hear more clearly and supporting us with a fabulous offer – see P2.

    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2016 BBC News, Coverage of the death of David Bowie, 12 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers and listeners who felt there was too much coverage of David Bowie’s death during BBC News programmes and bulletins. Response from BBC News David Bowie was by common consent one of our greatest pop stars who attracted a global following. He appealed across the ages and was one of the most influential musicians of his time. His death was both sudden and unexpected, his illness not revealed to anyone but a tight circle of friends. Our coverage tried to reflect his stature as a musician whose capacity for invention changed the shape of the industry, and the shock at his death around the world. Question Time, BBC One, 14 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers who felt the panel had a right wing bias. Response from Question Time Over the course of a series Question Time aims to achieve balance and hear from a range of voices. Each programme usually consists of one senior politician from both the Labour and Conservative party, as well as representatives from other political parties. The rest of the panel is made of political commentators, journalists, and other public figures that add a different perspective and represent a range of viewpoints across the series. We also aim to ensure that each episode has a divergent and broad range of views from the panel on the likely topics that our audience wish to raise. David Dimbleby moderates the debate to ensure panellists are given the opportunity to make their views known in a fair way.

  • PDF EPUB} Seventy Years of BBC Sport by John Inverdale 2009 BBC Young Sports Personality: the Top 10
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Seventy Years of BBC Sport by John Inverdale 2009 BBC Young Sports Personality: The top 10. The accolade, which is awarded by the BBC in partnership with the Youth Sport Trust, will be handed to the winner at the Sports Personality of the Year event in Sheffield on 13 December. A panel chaired by BBC Sport presenter John Inverdale met on Monday 9 November to decide on the top 10 YSPOTY contenders. "I think every year we say the depth of competition gets more and more intense," said Inverdale. "This year we have ended up with a top 10 but it could have been a top 15 or 17. "Now almost everybody is a world-ranked performer in the sport they do." The panel, which included BBC Sport presenter Jake Humphrey, Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton, Sportsround presenter Ore Oduba and previous Young Sports Personality of the Year winners Kate Haywood and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, worked through a huge list of contenders to pick the top 10. "What's special this year is the range of sports. It just shows that young people feel in this country that a range of sports are accessible to them," said Humphrey. "It is going to be very difficult. I have got an idea of two people who will be in my top three but that will probably change thirty times between now and setting the top three." Below is the list of top 10 contenders for BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year. For full terms and conditions, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
