  • The Future of The
    The Future of Public Service Broadcasting Some thoughts Stephen Fry Before I can even think to presume to dare to begin to expatiate on what sort of an organism I think the British Broadcasting Corporation should be, where I think the BBC should be going, how I think it and other British networks should be funded, what sort of programmes it should make, develop and screen and what range of pastries should be made available in its cafés and how much to the last penny it should pay its talent, before any of that, I ought I think in justice to run around the games field a couple of times puffing out a kind of “The BBC and Me” mini‐biography, for like many of my age, weight and shoe size, the BBC is deeply stitched into my being and it is important for me as well as for you, to understand just how much. Only then can we judge the sense, value or otherwise of my thoughts. It all began with sitting under my mother’s chair aged two as she (teaching history at the time) marked essays. It was then that the Archers theme tune first penetrated my brain, never to leave. The voices of Franklin Engelman going Down Your Way, the women of the Petticoat Line, the panellists of Twenty Questions, Many A Slip, My Word and My Music, all these solid middle class Radio 4 (or rather Home Service at first) personalities populated my world. As I visited other people’s houses and, aged seven by now, took my own solid state transistor radio off to boarding school with me, I was made aware of The Light Programme, now Radio 2, and Sparky’s Magic Piano, Puff the Magic Dragon and Nelly the Elephant, I also began a lifelong devotion to radio comedy as Round The Horne, The Clitheroe Kid, I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again, Just A Minute, The Men from The Ministry and Week Ending all made themselves known to me.

  • Piers Morgan Outrage Over Brandpool Celebrity Trust Survey Submitted By: Friday's Media Group Monday, 19 April 2010
    Piers Morgan outrage over Brandpool celebrity trust survey Submitted by: Friday's Media Group Monday, 19 April 2010 Piers Morgan has expressed outrage at being voted the sixth least trusted celebrity brand ambassador in a survey by ad agency and creative content providers Brandpool. Writing in his Mail On Sunday column, the Britain’s Got Talent judge questioned the logic of the poll, which named the celebrities the public would most and least trust as the faces of an ad campaign. But Brandpool has hit back at Morgan for failing to recognise the purpose of its research. Morgan, who also neglected to credit Brandpool as the source of the study, said: “No real surprises on the Most Trusted list, which is led by ‘national treasures’ such as David Attenborough, Stephen Fry, Richard Branson and Michael Parkinson. “As for the Least Trusted list, I find the logic of this one quite odd. Katie Price, for example, comes top, yet I would argue that she’s one of the most trustworthy people I know… Then I suddenly pop up at No 6, an outrage which perhaps only I feel incensed about. Particularly as that smiley little rodent Russell Brand slithers in at No 7. Making me supposedly less trustworthy than a former heroin junkie and sex addict.” Morgan was also surprised to see Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Sharon Osbourne, Tom Cruise and Jonathan Ross in the Least Trusted list. However, he agreed with the inclusion of John Terry, Ashley Cole, Tiger Woods and Tony Blair, all of whom, he said, were “united by a common forked tongue”.

  • The Enigma of Hitler Counterfactual Perspectives
    IAN WALLACE The Enigma of Hitler Counterfactual Perspectives S ISAIAH BERLIN WAS THE FIRST TO ARGUE, plausibility is an essential requirement for any historian adopting a counterfactual A strategy.1 If it is to achieve any degree of legitimacy, counterfactual history must be based not on “mere fantasy” but on “calculations about the relative probability of plausible outcomes in a chaotic world.”2 Such a high degree of self-restraint may not be required of the writer of fiction, for whom a portion of fantasy is, in fact, an indispensable precondition for the imagina- tive exploration of any subject, including the historical, but I would argue that such fantasy is least likely to trivialize a subject such as Hitler where it is tem- pered by a concern for plausibility. Studies of the Nazi period continue to proliferate, but the figure of Hitler remains by common consent an enigma eluding final explanation.3 This is a situation which literature may be thought to have done relatively little to im- prove. Writing in 1975, J.P. Stern regretted “the failure of creative literature to add very much to our understanding of Hitler’s personality,” adding that, apart from a few pages by Richard Hughes and Günter Grass, “the literary imagination has on the whole found itself outstripped by the facts of the case” and that “the true nature of the man is trivialized and obscured rather than illuminated by the antics of Charles Chaplin and the deeply unfunny comedy 1 Cited in Niall Ferguson, “Introduction: Virtual History: Towards a ‘Chaotic’ Theory of the Past,” in Virtual History: Alternatives and Counterfactuals, ed.

  • MDF Monitoring Visit Report
    City Bridge Trust – Monitoring Visit Report Organisation: Grant ref: Programme area: MDF The BiPolar 9999 03. Improving Londoners' Organisation Mental Health\b) Children & young people Amount, date and purpose of grant: 09/09/2010: £105,000 over three years (3 x £35,000) for the salary costs of a Youth Co-ordinator for London. Visiting Grants Officer: John Merivale Date of meeting: 19th August 2011 Met with: Suzanne Hudson, Chief Executive; Richard Ellis, Postholder 1. Introduction to the organisation: Established in the mid-eighties, MDF The BiPolar Organisation is a national user-led charity for people affected by bipolar disorder. Bipolar Disorder (often referred to as manic depression) is a serious mental health problem involving extreme swings of mood (highs and lows). Both men and women of any age from adolescence onwards, and from any social background, may develop the condition. It often first occurs when work, study, family or emotional pressures are at their greatest. In women it can also be triggered by childbirth or menopause. The illness is episodic, i.e. occurs in phases, but it is possible to remain well for long periods. Typically, the key to coping is an early diagnosis by a qualified mental health specialist, and acceptance of the condition. Severe and/or untreated episodes can be very damaging to the sufferer and to their families and friends. MDF has recently moved to a new base in Victoria, a building it occupies with many other charities. It has other offices in Crewe and Newport. Importantly, it runs a national network of self-help groups stretching from Jersey to Northern Ireland – these provide advice on living with the condition, organise self-management training programmes, and support people with employment issues.

  • Sir David Attenborough Trounces Young Stars in Brandpool's Celebrity Trust Poll
    Sir David Attenborough trounces young stars in Brandpool’s celebrity trust poll Submitted by: Friday's Media Group Friday, 9 April 2010 Sir David Attenborough trounces young stars in Brandpool’s celebrity trust poll Sir David Attenborough is the celebrity consumers would most trust as the figurehead for an advertising campaign, according to a survey commissioned by ad agency and creative content providers Brandpool. However, it was Katie Price who narrowly beat John Terry and Ashley Cole to be voted the least believable brand ambassador, followed by Amy Winehouse, Heather Mills, Tiger Woods and Tony Blair – the latter raising questions over Labour’s deployment of its former leader as a ‘secret weapon’ in the run-up to the election. The survey flies in the face of the Cebra study published last week by research agency Millward Brown, which indexed the appeal of celebrities in relation to certain brands. But Brandpool’s research suggests the popularity of young stars such as David Tennant, Cheryl Cole and David Beckham doesn’t always translate into trust. The poll saw 46% of respondents name Sir David as one of their top three choices, with Stephen Fry second on 36% and Richard Branson third on 20%. It was the elder statesmen of British broadcasting who dominated the top 10, with Michael Parkinson, Sir Terry Wogan, Sir David Dimbleby, Jeremy Paxman, Lord Alan Sugar and Jeremy Clarkson also highly rated. These silver-haired stars were favoured despite almost a third of respondents being under 35. And although an even split of men and women voted, the only female celebrity in the top 10 was The One Show presenter Christine Bleakley.

  • Badger, Ratty, Mole and Toad Strike out for a Wilder Future
    MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGO: 00.01 Thursday 28th March 2019 The Wildlife Trusts The Kiln Badger, Ratty, Mole and Toad strike out for a wilder future Waterside Mather Road Newark, Nottinghamshire Stars speak up for wildlife in new film trailer hitting cinemas this NG24 1WT weekend Tel (01636) 677711 www.wildlifetrusts.org Sir David Attenborough, Stephen Fry, Catherine Tate, Alison Steadman and Asim Chaudhry have backed a new campaign from The Wildlife Trusts that calls for a wilder future and for nature’s recovery in the UK. The conservationist and actors have starring roles in a new The Wind in the Willows film trailer which brings to life st the 21 century threats facing the much-loved characters from Kenneth Grahame’s children’s classic. The animated trailer calls on everyone to help bring our wildlife back before it’s too late, so that we can all enjoy a wilder future. The film trailer shows how the lives of Badger, Ratty, Mole and Toad are disrupted by roads, river pollution and intensive agriculture – many habitats have been destroyed and others have been broken up. Toad hangs a picture of a puffin entangled in plastic on the wall in Toad Hall. “Farewell old friend” he says. Kenneth Grahame wrote The Wind in the Willows just over a hundred years ago. Since then, many of the UK’s wild places and the plants and animals that depend on them have been lost. For example: 97% of lowland meadows and the beautiful Patron HRH The Prince of Wales wildflowers, insects, mammals and birds that they supported have disappeared; KG KT GCB OM President 80% of our beautiful purple heathlands have vanished – with their blaeberries, sand Tony Juniper CBE lizards and the stunning nocturnal birds, nightjars.

  • 1 Stephen Fry
    1 STEPHEN FRY The Andrew Marr Show, 22nd March 2020 (Rough transcript, check against delivery) STEPHEN FRY Actor AM: And he joins me now from his home in Norfolk. Stephen Fry, welcome. How are you coping? How are you managing out there in Norfolk? SF: Well, very well. I'm very lucky to be here. There's fresh air and we're staying at home, of course, and just hunkered down like everybody else. It's a tricky time for everybody and I'm fully aware of how lucky I am to have a house in the country and to be safe. You know, it's not easy for anybody, but the most important thing to remember is that nobody's an expert. And I suppose if there's a message to be had – and I'm not speaking as a health professional, obviously, a mental health professional or anything else, but in my capacity, such as it is, as President of MIND – one of the things that's very clear is that there's a lot of anxiety, a lot of stress, a lot of confusion and a lot of loneliness, and these are all very powerful triggers for other mental health episodes. AM: Well, I would like to get the Stephen Fry advice on some of these. So, what about people who look at this huge array – and they may be watching this programme, or other programmes, news bulletins, reading newspapers – and it is a wall of terror coming towards them and they feel they can't cope with what is, after all, ‘the news’.
