The impacts of climate change are no longer hypothetical. We can declare climate emergencies, set net zero carbon targets and work at scale and pace to retrofit the built environment across the UK (and we absolutely should); but the very real fact is that we are already witnessing the effects of global warming. The five main climate risks are overheating, flash flooding, storms, droughts and wildfires.

To work with Maggie Smith, as I did in The Missionary and A Private Function, was to be in the presence of pure acting gold. Maggie was so skilful and intuitive. She could portray the maximum of emotion with the minimum of effort. Nothing was ever wasted with Maggie. The slightest glance could contain so much information, the smallest gesture be loaded with such significance that you had to be absolutely on your toes to stay with her.

Ezra Edelman's OJ: Made in America is one of the best TV documentaries in recent years Credit: AFP/Vince Bucci Drama is sexier, comedy more quotable, current affairs more immediate, but the very finest documentaries sit unquestionably among the most important television ever made. True stories sometimes told straight, at other times tweaked, subverted or filtered through a new lens to offer a fresh perspective. Frequently changing the way television was made, they have covered a limitless...

The GoodI'm probably the wrong person to review RPG's mainly because I'm not true to the genre. I've mostly played more of the modern releases and some D&D based one's which would include Neverwinter Nights and Rage of Mages not forgetting some JRPGs. When I look at Mass Effect though I see a RPG made purely on being accessible. And the sales and popularity behind this game proves this, as it has attracted even people not familiar with the genre.

For me, part of the attraction of studying history was that it was all over. It could be something very good or something very bad, but at least it had happened and would never happen again. When, in May this year, I lost my wife Helen, after over 60 years together, history was no longer a luxury, but a necessity. I, my friends and my family became steeped in remembering and exchanging every detail we could of a life once lived.
