@stephensackur@BBCRadio4@bbcworldservice “Journalism that holds power to account has never been needed more than now”. Stephen, I am breaking my “no more X” rule to thank you for nearly 30 years of fine journalism & today’s sign-off to Hardtalk on FOOC. Baffled by the logic of axing it, grateful for you for fronting it
@charliechar @Annabel__always Spot on Charlie. We’re hardly ‘new funds’, @whickerawards have been trolling along for 9 years now, but we still turn up @sheffdocfest like ‘old pennies’, every summer to gift £127k to emerging directors. That’s 127,000,000 pennies, 🤔 I think ?
@whickerawards are at doc filmmakers (and musician )Dick Fontaine’s memorial. Great Jazz and 4 generations of family and friends to celebrate the great man #NFTS
@FallingTreeProd Such happy memories of Chris, mulling things over in a muddy Irish field @HearSayFestival and always enthralled by his wise and gently probing curiosity about the world.

@cate_blanshit Haven't they just accidently played the film in reserve? And it's really about getting stains out? Otherwise it makes no sense whatsoever and that cheerful blond needs help.

I've just been on a programme! Insufferably chuffed to have popped up on @BBCRadio4 asking a question of @OyinBraithwaite on the brilliant Book Club and getting a damn fine reply. 🙏 #decoloningnarratives#booklovers

Big cheer for our postal services for delivering...lockdown cheer. Apologies to Akuol for using quite so much parcel tape and such a tight knot on the bow. I was taking no chances #PostalService
A few weeks ago our 2020 Film & TV Award Winner, @AdeMabior was diagnosed with COVID19, halting the next stage of production on her film.
After much rest Akuol has almost recovered, so we thought a surprise in the post would cheer her up. Watch here: https://t.co/1FnKOsskGG 🎉
