Next Feature – Ray – 8pm Monday 4th November

Directed by Taylor Hackford, this biopic profiles the life of legendary musician Ray Charles. Despite humble beginnings and the loss of his eyesight due to glaucoma at the age of six, Charles, depicted by Jamie Foxx, would nonetheless become an icon in both the music industry and the civil rights era. While the film delves into his problems with drugs and women, the bulk of the story details his career; among the highlights of that career are 12 Grammy awards and 11 R&B chart- toppers, such as”Unchain My Heart,” “Hit the Road, Jack,” “Georgia,” “Doin’ the Mess Around,” and “Hallelujah I Just Love Her So.” Also among the cast are Larenz Tate as Quincy Jones, as well as Regina King, Kerry Washington, and Clifton Powell. Charles’ son, Ray Charles Jr. helped produce the film.

Fourcroft’s new film offer

In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’. The film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams), who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Aurthur Miller (Dougray Scott). Nearly 40 years on, his diary account The Prince, the Showgirl and Me was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as My Week with Marilyn – this is the story of that week.

Tenby Boxing Day Swim

The 41st swim was treated to a huge turnout, with 691 swimmers and a massive crowd. Record numbers of charity bathers take the plunge at Tenby’s annual Boxing Day swim (picture gallery) – Wales News – News from @walesonline.

A fine drizzle, but significantly warmer than last year’s snow covered beach allowed, made for kind conditions for the swimmers, but the very low tide meant a long sprint/canter/run/walk to the calm waters. Preceded by a canoe race and another hotly contested raft race, the swim’s fancy dress was based on “Tenby on TV”, reflecting the town’s multi-TV appearances through 2011.

“Don’t tell the bride”, “Mayday mayday”, “Grand Designs”, ” Tenby 24/7″ and Tesco’s Christmas advert – featuring the swim with “tea in Tenby” – complemented by video coverage of the first Ironman triathlon event in Tenby, all featured in the parade.
