  • Standing with the Women of Burma to End Rape and Sexual Violence
    110 high profile women stand with the women of Burma to end rape and sexual violence Standing with the women of Burma to end rape and sexual No. 1 violence July 2010 www.burmacampaign.org.uk 110 high profile women stand with the women of Burma to end rape and sexual violence 110 high profile women, including Dame Judi Dench, Annie Lennox, Jo Brand, Gillian Anderson, Imelda Staunton, Julie Walters and Zoë Wanamaker, are standing with the women of Burma to end rape and sexual violence. In the pledge the high profile women, who also include activists and politicians, have vowed to support: • An investigation into rape and sexual violence by the Burmese military against ethnic women and girls. • An end to impunity for rape and other forms of sexual violence in Burma. • Support for victims. • The inclusion of women at every political level in Burma including the peace negotiations between the Burmese government and the ethnic armed political groups. • Burma’s Rape Law to be in line with international human rights standards to outlaw rape in marriage. Rape and sexual violence by the Burmese army • The use of rape and sexual violence by Burma’s armed forces is ongoing with impunity and reports of rape have increased over the last years. • Although winning a landslide victory in national elections in November 2015, the National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, will not have control over the Burmese army when it takes office in April 2016. Therefore, there is a possibility that army rape will continue even with the new NLD-led government in place.

There were other Shakespeare-related programmes as well, and the playwright himself appeared in three distinct historical dramas. In large part because no recordings exist of these transmissions (or of any British television Shakespeare before 1955), these ‘lost’ adaptations have received little scholarly attention.

    Talking Pictures TV www.talkingpicturestv.co.uk Highlights for week beginning SKY 328 | FREEVIEW 81 Monday 2nd September 2019 FREESAT 306 | VIRGIN 445 THIS SPORTING LIFE on Talking Pictures TV Richard Harris gave one of the-best performances of his career in this bleak, yet beautiful film as a brutally competitive rugby player, strongly supported by Rachel Roberts as his bitter, recently bereaved landlady. Both received Oscar nominations, with Roberts winning the BAFTA for Best British Actress. The compelling script by David Storey was also BAFTA nominated, while director Lindsay Anderson was nominated for the Golden Palm for his unflinching look at working-class life set in the harsh landscape of northern England. Among the supporting cast is William Hartnell, who shortly afterwards began his role as The Doctor, having been spotted by Doctor Who producer Verity Lambert in This Sporting Life. The film also features Arthur Lowe, later to star in Dad’s Army as Captain Mainwaring, who worked on a further four films with Anderson. Lindsay Anderson said at the time the film should not be seen as “a North Country working class story”, although class frustrations do underlie how the characters behave. Rather it is about the impossibility of happiness and the inability of people to communicate with each other.
