University and film colleagues mourn death of leading film and television academic Geoff Lealand
Many in New Zealand's film and television industry and the academic world are mourning the death of Dr Geoff Lealand, one of the world’s foremost authorities on both the small and big screens. Lealand, who died suddenly on Saturday morning aged 75, was for many years a familiar figure in the screen and media department at Waikato University, which he joined in 1992. He became renowned through his research, much of which was focussed on how children view and understand television. “He thought children should not be patronised in terms of their understanding of the things they watch,” longtime colleague Ann Hardy said.

Stacey Solomon shatters huge Gogglebox illusion as home is transformed for nifty filming trick
Stacey Solomon has lifted the lid on a crafty behind-the-scenes trick used by the makers of Gogglebox. The Loose Women star shared a story on Instagram that showed her fiancé Joe Swash and father David Solomon sat on sofas at her £1,200,000 Essex mansion while they were filming the hit Channel 4 reality series during the day. But things were not quite as they seemed, as the 32-year-old told her 5.3m followers that the producers ‘have to black out all the windows so it looks like night-time’. Filming her living room which is painted white and has beams in the ceiling, Stacey’s footage showed black covering had been stuck with white masking tape over her French doors, making the lighting in the room look dark. Stacey’s caption said: ‘Now we are filming Gogglebox, they black it all out because it’s too bright outside.

Andrew Flintoff discovers cricket’s lost youth – are you watching ECB?
Ben Stokes is leading a revolution in the England Test team; meanwhile, his predecessor as talismanic all-rounder has taken on a task at least as difficult, and perhaps more important. Andrew Flintoff is attempting to bring cricket to the unimpressed youth of his native Preston, and the resulting three-part documentary, Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams, should be required viewing for those in the England and Wales Cricket Board charged with getting people interested and involved in cricket beyond the walled garden of subscription TV and private education. As an alumnus of a state school, Stokes is in a minority in the current England set-up, where privately educated players dominate. Flintoff’s market research with bored teenagers hanging around outside the chippy in the Lancashire town would suggest that the England team are not so much from different schools, but from a different planet. The lads here believe cricket is “posh”, “slow” and “boring”; and the reality is that it … [Read more...] about Andrew Flintoff discovers cricket’s lost youth – are you watching ECB?
