’24: Live Another Day’ officially returning to Fox in May 2014

I’m so looking forward to this! Yes, 24 got rather long in the tooth towards the end and frequently stretched credibility, but it was an incredible series whatever happened.


Jack Bauer will officially live another day. The counter-terrorism superhero who worked his way through eight seasons of 24-hour madness before the series ended in 2010 will return in May 2014. The new show is a 12-hour limited event called 24: Live Another Day. Kiefer Sutherland has officially signed on to return to the role, which will follow the same 24-hour format of the original series, but condensed to 12 hours, with uneventful hours skipped.

Radio 4′s Any Questions at Keele University – Friday 10th May 2013

I attended Keele University from 1990-1993, loved my time there and learned recently that Radio 4 were due to host their long-running panel discussion show, Any Questions, from the Westminister Hall on Friday 10th May.

At first, I didn’t realise you had to apply for tickets and when I did, it was too late as they’d already allocated them in full, but stated they would let me know if one became available. And the day before transmission, one came free.

For those who haven’t listened to the show before, it’s basically the radio equivalent of Question time, even though Any Questions came first, as QT started life in 1979, while AQ began in 1948, principally as a short-lived six-week run when another show fell through at the last minute and the idea came about to throw a panel of politicians together and ask them any questions to which the audience wanted to know the answers.

Mike Perham takes on the Life of Pi Lifeboat Challenge

In conjunction with the RNLI, Mike Perham took on the following challenge to mark the release of Life of Pi on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray & DVD.

The video was filmed over the past two weeks and documents the re-enactment of Pi’s journey where he spent 227 days at sea so we teamed up with the RNLI and Mike Perham, the youngest person to sail around the world solo – which he did aged 17, and challenged Mike to spend 227 hours at sea taking part in tasks that Pi carried out whilst adrift.

Mike undertook this challenge in and around the Langstone Harbour with the help and support of the RNLI starting on the 20th April. Mike endured some of the trials Pi went through in the film including trying to catch fish from a line and building a satellite raft. Mike, fairly obviously, lived and slept on the boat for the duration – and this time it wasn’t a fully kitted out round-the-world yacht but a basic wooden lifeboat exactly like the one seen in the film!
