After weeks of speculation, we heard today that the 2021 Glastonbury festival is to be cancelled amidst uncertainly due to Covid. Tom talks to the Chairman of the Department of Culture Media and Sport parliamentary select committee, the Conservative MP Julian Knight, who today issued a strong statement condemning the government for not stepping in to assist the industry.Russell T Davies' hotly anticipated new Channel 4 series It’s A Sin begins tomorrow night. Set in the 1980s, it follows the story of the Aids crisis and charts the joy and heartbreak of a group of friends over 10 years in which everything changed. Critic David Benedict reviews. We’ll also be exploring depictions of the Aids crisis and its impact across the decades on stage, screen and other artforms with David and journalist Juliet Jacques. The London International Mime Festival started this week, online only this year, and as part of that they’ve commissioned five original short films – between three and 10 minutes each – which are available to view free. Critic Sarah Crompton reviews the five very different works.Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Simon Richardson

His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Fright Hunters RAMSCAST NETWORK Do you ever felt like you are being watched and you get chills up and down your back, well i have and still having today that feeling.I started seeing supernatural things happening around me and still do today.I have always been interested in such things and that's why i am do this shows.If you have a Scary Stories to share then you can send my a story in word or a audio recorder of you telling the story and i will share it with the world. you can send on my at: [email protected] BEWARE OF THE MONSTERS UNDER YOUR BED AND IN YOUR CLOSET AND BEWARE OF THE MONSTERS FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE.
