no. III: The Terrible Infants, schauerliche Geschichten über ungezogene und unmögliche Kinder mit Musik, Zirkus, Zauber, Puppenspiel und Judi Dench im Radio. Die fabelhafte Theatertruppe heißt nicht ganz zufällig wie ihr Stück (nur auf französisch) Les Enfants Terribles und fügt sich besonders schlüssig in ihren auch etwas morbiden Spielort, die grandios heruntergekommene Wilton’s Music Hall.

“Flack,” a new drama centered on the chaotic world of a celebrity publicist named Robyn (Anna Paquin), starts with a dilemma: A superstar chef is about to be exposed as a cheating womanizer. Robyn knows the drill. Time to distract the public with another story — preferably a sympathetic one.

“Illness is always good. Anything wrong with any of your kids? Downs, meningitis, learning difficulties?” she asks. The chef is appalled, then remembers that his wife’s mother died of breast cancer. So Robyn arranges the perfect photo op — he will take his wife to get a mammogram, under the guise of being a concerned, loving husband. When the chef expresses doubt about this plan, Robyn gives him a withering look. “You’d be surprised what people believe if they want to,” she says.

Pop TV’s “Flack,” which concludes its first season Thursday night, joins the pantheon of scripted TV shows that pull back the curtain on the inner workings of the celebrity universe. The plotlines are obviously exaggerated — except the above scenario, which creator Oliver Lansley said is based on a real-life situation. (“The true story is actually worse,” he added.) But Lansley is most fascinated by our society’s evolving relationship with publicity. It’s no longer a “slightly elusive, mystic art,” he said. Everyone can essentially be their own PR machines with a cultivated social media presence, especially in an era where facts can be declared meaningless and “the truth” is different depending on who you ask.

Luckily, the painstaking, frequently lucrative task of shaping a star’s image has always been about making people see what they want to see.

“In a way, publicists are offering us alternate realities, and we can choose the ones we like the most,” Lansley said. For example, we might know it’s a bitcoincidental that two actors who need to promote a movie are suddenly in a relationship, but we’ll still scroll through every Instagram photo and gobble up the tabloid details. “We’re just starting to realize the huge power of it, and it’s changing our culture in a massive way.”

Yet as “Flack” dives into Robyn’s life, it doesn’t directly answer the question people often wonder: What, exactly, does a high-powered celebrity publicist do?

Ask a real public relations executive, and you’ll receive many answers: They make sure their star clients are portrayed in a certain light and maximize press opportunities. They book interviews in magazines and newspapers, on talk shows and podcasts. They figure out how to spin unflattering stories and ask websites to take down photos, and sometimes get lawyers involved. They navigate photo shoots and award show appearances. They advise and counsel how to deal with the media. And much more.

“My job is to carefully mold the public image of an artist — sometimes you’re pushing them into the limelight, and sometimes you need to know when to push them out,” said Sasha Brookner, owner of Los Angeles-based Helio PR. “That’s the paradox of publicity.”

As the PR game changes behind the scenes, the public has also grown savvier about the system. Ben Affleck was mocked when, in the middle of his clumsy response to the Harvey Weinstein scandal, pictures suddenly surfaced of him adopting a stray puppy. One Twitter user wrote: “I’ll take ‘Ridiculously Obvious PR Diversion Stunts’ for $1,000 Alex.” Sometimes the stars expose it themselves as a way of shooting down a story. Last year, Olivia Munn posted a text message exchange in which her publicist told her that In Touch magazine planned to run a piece about her supposedly dating Justin Theroux. (Munn: “Oh my god. That is so stupid.” Publicist: “I know. I can try and shoot it down. But they will still run with it.”)

Even as observers pride themselves on being able to spot PR work a mile away, it can still be difficult to discern — especially when, these days, people can silo themselves into their own media bubbles and decide the truth is whatever they want it to be.

Calm down? You come in here, no warning, no wings, telling me that I’ve just been impregnated by the almighty with not so much as a ‘Hello, would you mind if I just … ?’ I mean, what sort of way is that to treat the mother of your child? What happened to dinner and the movies first?

Immaculate, Oliver Lansley

Doctor Who S10E11 – World Enough And Time

Doctor Who S10E11 – World Enough And Time

Ami a múltkori részből hiányzott, az most a dupla epizód első felében bepótolódott – és reméljük így lesz ez a folytatásban is. A World Enough and Time egyszerre ijesztő, sokkoló, valamint frappáns csavarokkal és érzelmi hullámvasutazással telített, egyszóval pont olyan, amilyennek egy évadvégi Ki vagy Dokisztorinak lennie kell. Ami történik, annak nem feltétlenül örülünk, de ami a kivitelezést…

We’re just a few days from World Enough and Time, the first of the two-part finale of Doctor Who Series 10, and what promises have been made!

Missy (Michelle Gomez) trying to prove her redemption. Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) and Nardole (Matt Lucas) as her disposables. A ship orbiting a black hole. Mondasian Cybermen. Cybus-era Cybermen. New Nightmare in Silver-style Cybermen. Oh, and something else…

His name is the Master.

And he’s played by John Simm, 10 years after his debut as the character.

To get you even more excited, here’s a lovely image gallery for this weekend’s Who, featuring all of the above and more. You’ll notice the Master is wearing a lovely classic black number, and what’s that in his hand? It’s only the laser screwdriver! (Who’d have sonic?)
