The prompt response of the pompiers, who are not only firemen but also trained medical first responders, ensured Jane received immediate and effective care.

Hannah Waddingham is a staunch LGBTQ+ ally. The star has garnered a strong queer following, thanks to her performances in West End favourites and on-screen with Willow, as well as her 2022 judging panel appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

While you might know Kagi best as the paid competitor to Google's ever-worsening search product, the company launched its Kagi Translate tool back in 2024, saying at the time that it was a 'simply better' competitor to tools like Google Translate and DeepL. At launch, the company said Kagi Translate 'uses a combination of LLMs, selecting and optimizing the best output for each task,' a fact that 'can occasionally lead to quirks that we're actively working to resolve.'

Although the creature first appeared in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, many popular interpretations of his story draw on a 1931 film adaptation that's considered one of the first movies in the modern horror genre.

Charles Dickens's novels are often criticised for their idealised passive female characters, but as the Dickens Museum now shows, he was, in life and in death, surrounded by formidable, intelligent and independent women. A new exhibition at the museum shifts attention away from Dickens as a solitary genius and instead places women at the centre of his creative world and cultural afterlife.

Among the bold choices in Luca Guadagnino's feverish film of William S Burroughs' novel are the late 20th-century pop and alternative soundtrack (Nirvana, Prince, New Order) for a 1950s story, and the casting of an unrecognisable, orc-like Manville in a trumped-up cameo as the shaman Dr Cotter, who was male in the original book.

I wanted to mention Kenneth Williams because he was so profound, Allen tells me. And yet, because he was also funny, that profundity hasn't been acknowledged. As a child, I connected with his outsiderness. Rather than trying to fit in, he went in the opposite direction. Not only did he not apologise for being different, but he was queer in every sense, truly at odds with the world in which he found himself.

I was a smiley, happy child. I've had cerebral palsy since birth, so I've never known any other reality. At three years old I went to a disabled nursery connected to a disabled school, and I remember thinking, Why am I here? At the end of the day, the teacher brought my parents in and said, Rosie should be in a mainstream school.

The best actress I've ever worked with is Judi Dench, who's such a mischief maker. She's so delightful. She's so, so good. If you ever just want to just hear something short, listen to Judi Dench read a Shakespeare sonnet, just find one on YouTube, and it will move you to tears - you'll just think that is how English should be spoken.
