Max Harwood chats to Zoe about his first major movie role as the star of the new film version of Everybody's Talking About Jamie. Max is set to become one of 2021's biggest breakout actors as he takes on the role of Jamie New, a 16-year-old boy set on becoming a drag queen, in Jonathan Butterell's big-screen adaptation of the hit musical.

Award-winning actor, presenter and comedian Rufus Hound tells Zoe about appearing on stage as as Tom Good in a theatrical reimagining of the TV sitcom, The Good Life. Rufus stars opposite television and film star Preeya Kalidas, who plays Margo, in the comedy that leads the well-loved characters through uproarious adventures; some old, some new and often hilariously familiar. The beloved 麻豆约拍 comedy The Good Life ran on British television from 1975 to 1978 starring Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Penelope Keith and Paul Eddington.

And Zoe plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

My brother Ed is a bit of a hero. A year or so ago he was punting along the river Cam in Cambridge, when the soft silence of willow trees and bird call was pierced by a scream. A girl from another punt had fallen in and couldn鈥檛 swim. Violently flailing around, in the process of drowning, she started to drag down a friend who had got into help. The situation looked dire, but without hesitation my brother Ed jumped fully clothed into the murky water, sprint swam to this girl, who could have dragged him under, and without even a second to consider his own safety, he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to the bank. In the following hours Ed walked crowded Cambridge streets, receiving looks of disgust as he trudged: soggy, smelly, and hauling around river foliage. But the worst thing, was that his new pair of leather boots were completely ruined. Ed risked his life to save a stranger鈥檚, and I think that鈥檚 heroic.


Heroism is a key theme in one of my favourite stories: Tolkein鈥檚 The Lord of the Rings. I love this story, not just for the fantastic world building and plot, but the aspirational values of the characters, which I think are very rare in stories today. Tolkein wrote heroes who not only fight and sacrifice their lives for the common good, but also form deep and vulnerable friendships, live lives of principle, and battle to overcome their own difficult character traits. And as a Christian, Tolkien drew many of these heroic values from Jesus. In the bible it says God sent Jesus 鈥渋n order that the world might be听saved听through him鈥�. Jesus wasn鈥檛 afraid to stand up to powers that most certainly could, and eventually did kill him. But in Jesus I also see another heroic trait: vulnerability. He would love and cry with, his friends, he would admit when he was weak.


Perhaps heros embrace听both听strength, and vulnerability. And people and stories, like Ed, The Lord of The Rings, and Jesus remind me that heroes can and do exist, inspiring me to be better鈥� even if my new leather boots get soggy.
