20 February 2015
20 FEBRUARY 2015 30 years to the day EastEnders was first broadcast, one of EastEnders true icons, Kathy Beale returned to the show in a LIVE scene in last night’s episode in the UK, which will air in Australia on the 4th March on UKTV at 6.15pm. Last seen in 2000 before returning to South Africa, viewers believed that Kathy was killed in a car crash. However when Kathy comes home to Walford later this year, viewers will learn where Kathy has been and why she has stayed away so long… Played by Gillian Taylforth, Kathy appeared in the very first episode of EastEnders on the 19th February 1985. As one of the original cast, Gillian soon found herself at the heart of some of the soaps most memorable episodes, creating a character that has never been forgotten in EastEnders history. Storylines included her relationship and subsequent turbulent marriage to Phil Mitchell and the rape of Kathy by Wilmott Brown. Kathy’s return has been shrouded in secrecy. To keep her return under wraps the scenes were shot live on location to prevent her being seen prior to her episode transmitting. Talking about her return to EastEnders, Gillian said “When Dominic approached me with his plan, I was so shocked I got into my car and burst into tears! ‘Kathy’ has always been so close to my heart and it’s absolutely wonderful to be returning to the show and reprising the role” Dominic Treadwell-Collins, Executive Producer said “I have always made my feelings on Kathy Beale and Gillian Taylforth very clear – she is part of EastEnders history, mother to Ian and Ben and one of the most important and iconic television characters on British television.

Such common conceptions of endings, this thesis argues, are largely incompatible with the realities of television’s production and reception, and as a result the study of endings in television needs to be re-thought to pay attention to the specificities of the medium.

Two Field Experiments Investigating the Effect of Celebrity Endorsement on Charitable Fundraising Campaigns1 Michael
Star Power: Two field experiments investigating the effect of celebrity endorsement on charitable fundraising campaigns1 Michael Sanders Behavioural Insights Team and Harvard Kennedy School of Government Abstract: A large literature exists that suggests that people’s decisions across many facets of their life are influenced by other people. We report the results of two field experiments in which we test the influence of a salient but socially remote individual – a celebrity – on the charitable giving decisions of participants. We find the celebrities are immediately effective, but that this effect is either small or attenuates over time. More consistent effects are found, however, among participants who are more pre-disposed to donate at the outset. 1 I am grateful to members of the CSR department at the bank in which this study was conducted, without whom this paper would not be possible. I am also grateful to Emily Gore and Kiki Kourmeridou for sharing with me the data from experiment 2, and to Marie Curie Cancer care for permitting the experiment to take place. I am especially thankful to the celebrities for their role in the study, without which it would not have been possible. I am grateful to Jamie Foehl, Mariel Beasley, and poster session participants at the UCSD field experiments in marketing conference in 2014 for useful comments and insight. I am ever thankful to my colleagues at the Behavioural Insights Team for indulging me in pursuing this work, and for providing a space in which it is possible. I am also grateful to Felicity Algate from BIT for comments on an earlier draft.

Melanie Blake Author and Celebrity Agent Media Masters – September 19, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m joined by Melanie Blake, entrepreneur and chief executive of Urban Associates. Melanie started her music career at Top of the Pops, working with acts like Destiny’s Child, All Saints and the Spice Girls. And as one of the UK’s leading music and entertainment managers, she has a roster of award-winning artists who have sold more than 100 million records. Ten years later, Melanie downsized her business to focus on writing – first as a columnist for the Sunday People and the Daily Mirror, then as a playwright, and now as a novelist. Her first book, The Thunder Girls, is a story of glamour and revenge set in the world of pop girl bands, and has already inspired a play. Mel, thank you for joining me. Thanks for having me. Well, let’s start with the success of your first novel, The Thunder Girls. It says, “A story of glamour and revenge set in the world of pop girl bands.” Well, I’ve certainly done what they say, which is they say write about what you know. And the funny thing about The Thunder Girls is that although it’s a best seller, it’s probably the longest running job to get a best seller ever, because it took 20 years to get it out. Wow.

A Barker’s Dozen Life Among The Dog People of Paddington Rec. Volume XII Anthony Linick Introduction The same day that we returned after two months in California – having decided that we would not be moving back to the States at the beginning of our retirement – my wife Dorothy and I took our property off the market … and ordered a puppy. Fritz the Schnauzer arrived a few weeks later and by the end of June, 2003, we had entered that unique society of dog owners who people London’s Paddington Recreation Ground. The society in which we were now to take our place remains a unique one, an ever-changing kaleidoscope of dogs and their owners. The dogs represent most of the popular breeds and many of the mutt-like mixtures – and so do their accompanying humans, who come from diverse nationalities and from many walks of life: professionals and job seekers, young and old, family members and loners. They are united by their love of dogs, and on the central green of the park, on its walkways and at the café where they gather after exercising their animals, they often let this affection for dogs carry them into friendships that transcend park life and involve many of them in additional social activities. Fritz had been a member of the pack for about a year when I decided to keep a daily record of his antics and the folkways of the rest of the crew, human and canine. I have done so ever since. I reasoned that not only would this furnish us with an insight into the relationship of man and beast but that it would also provide a glimpse into London life.

1 THE QUEER CARNIVAL: Gender transgressive images in contemporary Queer performance and their relationship to carnival and the Grotesque. Submitted by Bruce Howard Bayley to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama, (February 2000). This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all the material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material is included for which a degree has previously been conferred upon me. ___________________________ Bruce Howard Bayley 2 ABSTRACT The starting point for this study was my MA research into dramatherapy interventions with young male clients whose self-images contained indicators of both male and female genders alongside one another and who identified with a kind of gender fluidity which put them outside the duality of the male-female gender system. This study is an exploration of contemporary Queer performers whose work can be seen as embodying positions similar to those taken by my dramatherapy clients. PART ONE contains a description of the performances I observed and extracts from interviews conducted. PART TWO consists of my analysis of the performances. After a discussion of the theories of gender identity that underpin my research, there follows a presentation of the terms ‘gender transgression’ and ‘gender fluidity’ and a consideration of the extent to which the gender transgressive images embodied in the work of these performers can be considered to be liminal and/or liminoid phenomena.
