11:34 pm
bit different to sunday in london... resist your personal temperature going up, just gently remind yourself not to hug people, not to get too close. this is the big difference between don't meet and congregate indoors, meet outdoors, because it is the real contagion whether it's a variant or the original covid—19 variant, it's really important not to jeopardise your own health and somebody else's. john, i think your dog needs a hug! he is making a lot of noise! so the government, rememberwe have had the slogan _ government, rememberwe have had the slogan hands, face, space. tomorrow they will_ slogan hands, face, space. tomorrow they will start a new set of adverts. _ they will start a new set of adverts, hands, face, space and fresh_ adverts, hands, face, space and fresh air~ — adverts, hands, face, space and fresh air. the importance of people meeting _

distanced walks with, all kinds of plans. it would be really nice to do that. but of course we just need to be careful. but it would be wonderful, because we have missed it so much. it looks like the new normal, certainly beforejune 21st, 22nd, where if everything goes according to plan, we will have far fewer restrictions. it's going to feel good. if we got hot temperatures as well, relatively, that's going to be fantastic as well. lots of blossom around. i think we all need that, in france there is a word about going back to your source. maybe one of the benefits, if you can call it that, of the pandemic is so many people rediscovering how important it is to just go locally to your park, a

11:38 pm
willjust add a line to whatjohn was saying. the recruitment of people from ethnic minority backgrounds is absolutely crucial if the police chiefs wish and concern is to be met. it's about policing with consent. so the daily telegraph, yes, scrapping the bame label. this was a commission set up by borisjohnson. it was just before christmas, but it is reporting now. it is about scrapping the acronym of black, asian and minority ethnic, that term, because it is redundant and it seems it is not the way people want to be described. but of course, that is important, how people want to be described. ethnic

minority. what is this going to be something that actually means it is harder to track for companies and organisations in the public and private sector, that diversity progress? that is one of the big questions. we need to remember, following the death last summer of george floyd, a6, an african—american in minneapolis, the huge protests, unprecedented protests that were seen across america, then in britain and across the world. monday marks the beginning of the trial of derek chauvin, a5, beginning of the trial of derek chauvin, as, the former police officer accused of killing george floyd by putting his knee for so long on george floyd's neck. it was seen all over the world.— seen all over the world. before we move on to _

11:43 pm
hello and welcome to the film review, with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best new movies available for viewing in the home while we look forward to cinemas reopening in may. one of the most high—profile releases of the week is ammonite, the second feature from writer—director francis lee. like his brilliant debut god's 0wn country, this is another love story set against the backdrop of a bracing british locale — in this case, the sea—battered coast of lyme regis. waves crashing mary?

look what's fallen down. the rock thing. it's too big. impossible to move. kate winslet plays the 19th century palaeontologist mary anning, whose class and gender have kept her outside of the snobby geological establishment. saoirse ronan is charlotte murchison, a young woman plagued with melancholia, whose husband persuades mary to take her in and help her to recuperate. my husband... your husband left you. but first, charlotte seems too fragile for the hard knock�*s lifestyle of searching for hidden treasures on the beach, but she's made of sturdier stuff, and soon, her and mary become friends and then lovers. lee's decision to imagine an intimacy between two real—life characters has ruffled some feathers, to which the film—maker responded by stating:
11:45 pm
it's a forceful point perfectly made, but in fact, it's issues of class and gender, rather than sexual orientation, that seem to lie at the heart of lee's film. it's in the british museum, with its fancy, made—up name, 'ichthyosaurus'. while ralph fiennes' autodidactic archaeologist basil brown was snubbed by the snobbiest establishment in the dig, winslet�*s anning faces the double—whammy of being both largely self—taught and a woman. this, at a time when the geological society of london, for example, was a men—only enclave. more problematic, i think, is the chilly tone of the film, which reminded me somewhat of the austere mood of michael winterbottom's jude, an early critical triumph for kate winslet. both films have much to admire artistically, but also left me rather cold. you can find ammonite on a wide
