Actor says former Countryfile presenter's successful ageism case was an 'attack on creative free expression'The BBC should have been free to drop Miriam O'Reilly from Countryfile without attracting any accusations of age discrimination, according to comedian Rowan Atkinson, in a controversial intervention into the debate about the lack of older women on television.The 57-year-old Blackadder, Mr Bean and Johnny English star said – in a letter to Radio 4's The Media Show – that O'Reilly's successful age discrimination case against the BBC amounted to an "attack on creative free expression" and that television was the wrong place to deal with anti-discrimination issues.Atkinson wrote that he did not blame O'Reilly for taking legal action, but added that his argument "would be that the creative industries are completely inappropriate environments for anti-discrimination legislation and that the legal tools she used should never have been available to her".In January 2011, O'Reilly won a...

1995 project once starring Marlon Brando, Johnny Depp and Debra Winger will return to Ballycotton with new castAn infamous film production that once brought Marlon Brando, Johnny Depp and Debra Winger to a sleepy Irish fishing village is set for a second lease of life more than 17 years after it was halted due to a lack of funds.The Hollywood stars were greeted with huge enthusiasm in 1995 as they arrived in Ballycotton, Co Cork, to shoot Divine Rapture, the story of a machinist in a remote village who is hailed as a saint after appearing to return from the dead, rising from the coffin at her own funeral. Winger was to play the lead role, with Brando lined up to portray an elderly priest who believes in the apparent miracle. However, just as production was about to begin it emerged that LA-based backers CineFin did not have the money to proceed and many villagers were left bankrupted after an investment of around $4m failed to materialise.American producer Barry Navidi, who brought ...

Credits roll for studios used for Repulsion, Blade Runner and Beatles films as owners sell up following financial lossesTwickenham Film Studios, which have been used for films as diverse as Roman Polanski's Repulsion, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and current Oscars hopeful My Week with Marilyn, are to be closed just one year ahead of the facility's centennial anniversary.Administrator Gerald Krasner said the business was losing money and would be wound down between now and June, with half of its 17 employees having already left.
