Andrew Scott on why it’s important to tackle topics like the AIDS crisis in cinema: “It troubles me a little bit because people perhaps don’t want to go back to a time that was incredibly difficult for gay people. I think that sometimes comes from a place of shame...

>but the shame does not lie with the gay people. The shame lies with the governments who ignored the AIDS crisis and the stigma that was around people and the innate prejudice that was in society. So that’s someone else’s shame.”

There should have been a London-based story featuring Brenda at the National Theatre

There's the infamous story of Daniel Day Lewis running away during a production of "Hamlet".

The same thing should have occurred.

Brenda could have been performing with Daniel Day Lewis (playing himself) as her brother in "The Cherry Orchard" and Day Lewis wimps out again.

Brandon needs to step into the production and John Hurt turns up backstage to call Brandon a better actor than Day Lewis, who turns into a Tara-like stalker, attempting to murder Brandon due to professional/sexual jealousy.

I know this is a "Neighbours" sub, but it is striking how vastly superior the death of Tom in "Home and Away" was compared to Jim's death

The scenes in "Home and Away" are long and character-driven, providing a spotlight on each individual as they register Tom's death.

The moment where Alf and Ailsa arrive at the accident, but it is too late and Tom has already been placed into the ambulance stretcher is very powerful for this reason.

As is the moment where Alf and Steven are unable to inform Pippa, so Ailsa has to step forward and do it, clearly and precisely.

On the other hand, everything that "Home and Away" did right, "Neighbours" did wrong.

"Neighbours" chose a plot-driven approach.

The show should have allowed time for the characters to grieve, but it was more focused on plot mechanics involved Fiona (a character we don't care about).

And the acting in the "Neighbours" scenes was abysmal, with the exception of Julie Mullins and Anne Haddy, who always acquites themselves well.

The reactions of Rosemary and Fiona were not convincing to say the least. It was a fundamental mistake to give the heavy lifting of this episode to two of the show's worst actors.
