Tonight’s Pride of Britain Awards is a reminder that true heroes aren’t always the people we see on our screens every day. They’re ordinary people who do extraordinary things, often without expecting anything in return.
From incredible acts of bravery and selflessness to people who have overcome unimaginable challenges, every story reminds us of the strength, kindness and courage that still exist in this world.
Behind every award is a real person, a family, a story and often a journey that most of us could never begin to imagine. These are the people who restore our faith in humanity and remind us what really matters in life.
We are truly grateful and thankful for all these incredible heroes and heroines. Their courage, compassion and selflessness give us hope in life and remind us just how precious every single life is. In a world that can sometimes feel difficult and uncertain, their stories remind us of the good that exists in people and the difference one person can make.
A huge congratulations to all the nominees and winners. You are an inspiration, and your stories deserve to be heard.
Sometimes, the biggest heroes are the ones who would never call themselves heroes. ❤️🇬🇧

I was watching Godzilla starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson with a friend when Godzilla got hurt, and I said, “Aww, poor baba!”
My friend looked at me and she asked, “Why do you call animals baba, especially when he’s as big as a dinosaur and isn’t even real?” 😂
I told her, “Because all of God’s creatures are babies!” ❤️
Big or small, real or fictional, if something gets hurt, my heart goes out to it. I suppose that’s just the soft side of me.
All of God’s creatures are babies. Never lose your compassion, no matter how big or small the creature is. ❤️🙏 especially Godzilla …
I’ve been thinking about Person of Interest lately and just how ahead of its time this series really was.
Created by Jonathan Nolan, the show follows Harold Finch, a brilliant programmer who creates an artificial intelligence system capable of identifying people connected to future violent crimes. With former CIA operative John Reese, Finch sets out to save lives, often without the people involved even knowing they were being watched.
When the series first aired, the idea of a machine monitoring millions of people through CCTV cameras, mobile phones, online activity and digital communications felt like science fiction. Watching it today, it hits differently.
We now live in a world where artificial intelligence is advancing at an extraordinary pace, facial recognition technology is becoming increasingly common, and our personal data is collected every time we go online, use an app or carry a smartphone. AI can analyse enormous amounts of information in seconds, identify patterns and make predictions about human behaviour.
Sound familiar?
That’s what makes Person of Interest so fascinating. It explored the possibility of technology being used to predict crime before it happened, raising an uncomfortable question: how do you protect people without treating everyone as a potential suspect?
Today, we’re having real conversations about government surveillance, privacy, facial recognition, predictive policing and who should be responsible when an algorithm gets something wrong. The idea of technology being used to monitor people for their own protection, while potentially being abused by those in power, feels particularly relevant.
What I also love about the series is that it goes beyond the technology itself. It explores the people behind it, the moral decisions they make and the consequences of creating something that may eventually become more powerful than its creators.
Jim Caviezel is excellent as John Reese, and Michael Emerson is outstanding as Harold Finch. Their partnership, combined with the show’s evolving storylines, makes it far more than your typical crime drama.
Five seasons of gripping storytelling, intelligent writing and ideas that feel increasingly relevant to the world we live in.
Sometimes science fiction isn’t about predicting the future. Sometimes it’s about recognising the direction we’re already heading in.
If you haven’t watched Person of Interest, or fancy revisiting it, it’s available on Netflix in the UK, subject to current catalogue availability.
Have you watched it? Did you ever imagine how relevant its ideas would become?

Two years ago, I attended the premiere of Ballistic in Birmingham, standing alongside David Lamont, who played Beck, the protagonist, while I played Butcher, the antagonist.
David’s performance deserved an Oscar. It was a privilege to be part of the premiere and to celebrate an independent British film that made its way onto the big screen.
Written and directed by Ranjeet S. Marwa, Ballistic had a limited run at Vue cinemas across the UK and is now available to watch on Amazon Prime.

She really said the quiet part out loud 😭
“Women are 1,000x more narcissistic than males” and then went full lecture mode. The part she said “you only get one mama, love her no matter what” vs “nobody ever says that about dad” point actually hit different.
And the part about women thinking they can talk to you any kind of way, put hands on you, and still expect you to speak of them like angels… whew.
Some of y’all about to screenshot this and send it to the group chat. Some of y’all about to write a 10-paragraph essay in the comments.
Have you experienced any of these? Let me know in the comments.
