In this podcast we discuss our thoughts on the last four episodes of Doctor Who Season 14 - Dot and Bubble, Rogue, The Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death. We had a lot to discuss, and so many questions that were left unanswered. It was a great season, and I 'think' our favorite episode ended up being Rogue. What did you think of the season? What did we leave out? Which was your go to episode and why? Let us know! Cheers!

Who are we at the Birds on Power Lines Podcast? We are a mom and young adult child team having the time of our lives talking about things we love and care about! If you haven't listened to our podcasts before, we use a voice messenger app to share our thoughts with each other to discuss a variety of topics as we go about our day.

Planning etc from russelldavies on Vimeo.

An ad school in Australia asked me if I'd do a Skype interview with some of their wannabe planners. I said no, because those things never work, but said - send me your questions and I'll film a video you can show. My friend Graham kindly agreed to film it and Giles volunteered to ask the questions. Big thanks to them. (Giles is very quiet so I've added some LOLcaptions so you know what the questions were.)

I thought I'd stick it here because I get asked this stuff quite a lot and these answers aren't bad.

It's 20 minutes of me pontificating, so, you know, don't watch it unless you want to slag me off for being a serial self-promoter, having terrible craft skills and being a bad example for planners everywhere.

I attempt to answer these questions:

00:00 What is a planner and what does planning mean?

01:31 What are the most important skills for a planner to have?

02:47 What's the single most important thing a planner needs to get right when developing a strategy?

04:00 Is research friend or foe? How and when can it help, or hinder?

07:07 What role should planning play in carving out the future of the advertising industry?

08:49 How can we, as planners, effect real change to our clients' business?

10:39 What skills does a planner need to work constructively with creatives and account managers within the agency?

13:35 What's the greatest lesson you have learned in your career?

14:13 What's the most difficult brief you've ever been given?

16:27 What's the campaign you take the most pride in - and why?

18:00 Where is planning heading from here?

19:14 The greatest lesson you've learned in your career (attempt 2)?

20:08 It strikes me that lots of the young students watching this interview are going to be terrified at your vision of the future of advertising and planning - it's possibly not what their lecturers have been teaching them is likely to happen - so do you have any practical reassuring tips for those young people as they venture out into the world to start their career?

Listening to this has made me try and do some tripletty bass and drums. Almost like studies and exercises. Surprisingly effective. I’m not of an age to have really considered a lot of compound times, has always like those awkward slow prog tracks to me. But there’s something enormously energetic going on here. Sounds good in tidal. 

https://umfang.bandcamp.com/track/symbolic-use-of-light Seems like another useful study. But with more of a Tangerine Dream-y shifting audio quality to it. That’s a thing I’d like to perfect.

Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander leads the cast of Russell T Davies' new 1980s AIDS drama Boys as filming gets underway in Manchester

By BRYONY JEWELL FOR MAILONLINE

PUBLISHED: 17:20 EDT, 8 October 2019 | UPDATED: 17:23 EDT, 8 October 2019

He's best known for his vocals in band Years & Years, but now singing sensation Olly Alexander is working with one of the UK's greatest TV writers.

And the musician looked right at home as he led the cast of Russell T Davies' new Channel 4 drama Boys on set in Manchester on Tuesday.

Olly, 29, will play 18-year-old gay man Ritchie Tozer in the new five-part drama which follows three pals who move to London in 1981 and grow up in the shadow of AIDS.  

On Set: Singer Olly Alexander, 29, led the cast of upcoming drama Boys, which was written by Russell T Davies, as filming got started in Manchester on Tuesday

The star stood out in an over sized blue puffer jacket and bold red top as he chatted with other people on set.

To complete his 1980s inspired ensemble he wore a pair of blue denim jeans, which were turned up at the ankles, and a pair of white trainers.

The signer-turned-actor also donned a thin gold chain around his neck and quiffed his hair.

Happy filming: Lydia West, who has previously been in BBC show Years And Years, wore a thin yellow jumper, midi skirt and white socks with black shoes for her 80s look +21 Happy filming: Lydia West, who has previously been in BBC show Years And Years, wore a thin yellow jumper, midi skirt and white socks with black shoes for her 80s look

Actress Lydia West was full of smiles as she walked around the set styled in a thin yellow knitted top which had a delicate pattern across the front.

Her pastel top was paired with a navy blue striped and pleated skirt which came down just past her knees.

The Years and Years actress, who played Bethany Bisme-Lyons in the six-part show and will take on the role of straight-talking Jill Baxter in Boys, also wore a pair of white ankle socks and black shoes with a tiny kitten heel.

Other cast members spotted on Tuesday included newcomer Omari Douglas who looked confident as he rocked a t-shirt off one shoulder and a purple scarf around his head.

The actor, who will play wild party boy Roscoe Babatunde, 17, in Boys, also donned several necklaces, including a studded one, and two bracelets.  

Also joining the star-studded cast is Keeley Hawes, Shaun Dooley, Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Fry and Tracy Ann Oberman.

The show will follow young men Ritchie (Olly Alexander), Roscoe (Omari Douglas) and Colin (Callum Scott Howells) who move to London in 1981.

Strangers at first, these young gay lads, and their best friend Jill (Lydia West), find themselves thrown together, and soon share each other's adventures.

However their lives are soon tested and as the decade passes, and they grow up in the shadow of AIDS, they're determined to live and love more fiercely than ever.

Olly Alexander said he felt like 'the luckiest boy in the world' to be part of Boys.

He said: 'I've been a fan of Russell T Davies ever since I watched Queer As Folk in secret at 14 years old.

'His work helped shape my identity as a gay person so I'm absolutely over the moon we'll be working together.

'The script was amazing to read, I laughed and I cried a lot, it's a privilege to be helping to tell this story and I'm so excited.'

How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris said: 'I'm so pleased, and incredibly proud, to be a part of Russell T Davies' new series.

'This drama, Boys, is two things: it is an irresistible, funny, jubilant story of young people discovering their true identities and the unalloyed joy of living life to the fullest, it is also a deeply resonant exploration of a decade when so many of these lives were cut short by the devastating effects of the nascent AIDS pandemic.

'Russell's scripts chart the highs and lows of this time so beautifully and deftly, it's an honour to help tell this story.'

Script writer Russell T Davies has also worked on shows Queer As Folk, which was also set in Manchester, A Very English Scandal, Years and Years and Doctor Who.

I went the MoMa exhibition "Talk To Me - The Interaction between People and Objects" and within the exhibition was fellow IG chap @svanes wonderful film The Things We Keep from whence this picture comes. On the way there I read this interesting piece by @russelldavies on "The Internet Of Things" very thought provoking. http://goo.gl/zE2pq @svanes of course I didn't do the puzzle you kindly sent as I haven't printed it yet, but even more reason to go again which I will. #talktome2011 #thethingswekeep #moma #theinternetofthings #russelldavies (Taken with instagram)
