Watford-area babies wanted for BBC drama filming
Watford-area babies are being sought for the filming of an upcoming BBC drama.
Casting agency Daisy and Dukes has put out a call for children born after January 2025 to be used for filming.
The shoot will take place at BBC Elstree Studios on July 8, with the call going out to families who live within an hour of the facility.
The advert specifies that the babies must be white - to match with the cast - and that both boys and girls will be considered.
While the BBC has not confirmed exactly what show the call is for, some have speculated it could be Babies, an upcoming six-part drama.
Starring Paapa Essiedu and Siobhán Cullen, Babies began filming earlier this year, with Hertfordshire locations already being used for some scenes.
In February, Abbots Langley's former police house was used for filming, as was Toms Lane in Kings Langley.The programme was announced by the BBC in November of last year and will feature Black Mirror's Essiedu and Bodkin star Cullen, as well as Jack Bannon and Charlotte Riley.
Essiedu is set to spend plenty of time near Watford in years to come after landing the role of Severus Snape in the upcoming Harry Potter television series, which is about to begin filming in Leavesden.

The secrets to getting on Race Across the World as 100,000 people apply
The BBC's Race Across the World is one of the most popular shows on TV, and it seems to be one of the most transformational experiences that reality TV can offer, so it's not surprising that the producers get inundated with application to The show received 100,000 applications last year. From the slush pile, TV bosses have the tricky job of choosing the line-up for the travel show. It begs the question, just how is Race Across the World cast? And how easy is it to get on the show? Production executive Kezia Walker and producer Lucy Curtis from Studio Lambert, the company behind the show, have shared some insight into their process in a new masterclass — presented by Televisual and Sony at The Producers — shared on YouTube. Of course they have a wish-list (although the producers explained that the best stories are often the ones they didn't know they were looking for). "It's a travel show and I think people love — no doubt — they love seeing the locations and the you know beautiful GVs (general views) and the places we travel through but at the heart of it, it's about the people taking part," Curtis said. "It's a challenging casting job because the contributors have to sustain. It's eight episodes. The civilian version is eight episodes. I mean one of the things that I don't think anyone realised when they watch it, is quite how gruelling the process is to go through. It's a physical challenge and also a mental challenge as well." There is a special in-house casting and welfare team who work with the contributors from the very beginning of the show until way after they have left. These are some stand out qualities they are looking for when casting the Race Across the World series. Those hoping to take part in RATW must be "physically and mentally robust", the TV bosses explained. The application asks for a medical letter from their GP confirming their fitness. Also there is a tough audition where the participants must escape the Studio Lambert offices to a mystery location without their phones or credit cards. Talking in the masterclass, Curtis said: "So we have to make sure that the people who take part are really sort of physically and mentally robust. So that's a big part of the casting process. Everyone has to take part in what we call the escape challenge which is where they start from the Studio Lambert offices. "We give them a location in London, somewhere they won't have heard of and they have to get there without their phones or their credit cards. And then you sort of see the dynamic between the pairs unfold much more naturally when they've got a task to do." The casting crew are also looking for an interesting dynamic and relationship that will play out over the eight-week journey. Immediately former married couple Yin and Gaz, who are now best friends after the breakdown of their 30-something year marriage, will have caught the attention of casting bosses. Walker said: "You want that relationship you know? Something that often people can relate to whether it's siblings or parents or friends. It's something when you're watching as a viewer you relate to and making sure you've got a broad range of people from all sorts of backgrounds." She added: "We take them through the journey of the race, that you're learning something unusual ,or surprising about them that maybe on other TV shows, you don't have time to do that." Other than the relationship element, perhaps the most important part of the casting process is that the individual has a story to tell. The race element of filming is unpredictable. However, they can plan for the documentary style moments where the contributors share their life stories and experiences with viewers. "We've got these rich interesting stories to tell, and we can think about... we don't want to tell all their stories in episode one," Curtis said. "We don't want to lean into their backstories right at the top. We want to tell them slowly over eight episodes. So we can plan a little bit for for when those stories are going to come come out." The producer used the example of two stars from Race Across the World series four. "Alfie in series four who lost his mother when he was very young," she said. "We knew he was going to be going to Hoi An and in Hoi An they send these lanterns down, go on boat trips and send these lanterns down the river. So we knew that that might be — if he was comfortable doing it there — a really lovely place to tell the story about his mum." She added: "And then with Betty and James... Her story was that she suffered from this condition called MRKH which is she was born without a womb. And she was on just only comfortable talking about that with her brother in leg seven. "So episode seven, which is right at the end of the series. So it feels sort of quite different that we would be landing this huge story about her which is this huge thing to know about her right at the end of the series. But that was when she was able to talk about it with her brother — that was the honest and right time to tell it." The Race Across the World application asks if contestants have applied for other TV shows. The TV bosses don't want someone who is attracted to the bright lights of fame. Curtis explained: "And I think that's the thing with Race Across the World and and lots of other Studio Lambert shows is it's the type of people you might not usually see on television." Race Across the World: The Reunion airs at 9pm on BBC One on Wednesday.

Boy George goes after ‘bully' JK Rowling in wild feud over trans rights — and instantly regrets it
Boy, this is messy. Boy George picked a fight with JK Rowling on X (formerly Twitter) over the 'Harry Potter' author's controversial views on the transgender community.

'There are many differences between us, George, but some are particularly relevant to this debate,' Rowling wrote, pointing out that George is a man, while she's a woman, and that he's 'been wealthy and famous' since his early 20s, while Rowling didn't make a name for herself until she was over 30. 11 JK Rowling speaks at the Robert F.

Look of the Week: Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and the heightened stakes of costume design
The 'wrong' shade of blonde; a deflated, empty Birkin bag; and a camel coat so stiff it looks 'like a brick,' according to one Substack writer. These are the main complaints of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy fans, who this week jumped to the defense of the late fashion publicist, whose memorable style many considered was being inaccurately portrayed in Ryan Murphy's latest biopic. On Saturday, Murphy, the TV producer and creator of 'Glee,' and 'Pose,' shared a first look at the upcoming drama, 'American Love Story,' which chronicles the tumultuous relationship and untimely demise of Bessette-Kennedy and her husband John F. Kennedy Jr. (played by Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly). A 'fashion travesty' is what one user commented underneath the Instagram post teasing the images, noting that 'Carolyn would never put these looks together. The fabrics are shoddy. Drape all wrong.' Indeed, in Murphy's lighting test shots, the trusty, well-worn black Hermès Birkin bag that Bessette-Kennedy was often photographed carrying looked box-fresh, rigid and flat. Her camel coat appeared waxy and poorly tailored — something, commenters pointed out, went against everything the fashion titan stood for. Others also pointed out that Pidgeon's hair was incorrectly colored, washing her out and making her look ashy. Even Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's original hair colorist, Brad Johns, joined the conversation. 'No one would believe that Carolyn in the '90s would ever have that color from me. It's too 2024,' he told Vogue. 'When she sees that color, she's going to be swirling in heaven.' At first glance, the internet's visceral reaction to a piece of streaming entertainment may appear outsized. But it also reveals a new, intense standard which biopic costume designers are expected to adhere to, and the depths of public emotions that remain for Bessette-Kennedy even 25 years after her death. Related video How Colin Firth's wet shirt in BBC's 'Pride and Prejudice' sparked Austen-mania Bessette-Kennedy's journey from the Calvin Klein public relations department to becoming in-laws with then-US first lady Jackie Kennedy has captivated public interest for years. But her legacy extends far beyond the Kennedy surname, thanks to her strong visual identity and knack for sleek, casual dressing. In 2017, Gabriela Hearst told Vanity Fair that Bessette-Kennedy had an 'inner elegance' and was 'not of this earth, in a way.' Sotheby's, which auctioned off a series of Bessette-Kennedy's personal pieces (which included clothing from Yohji Yamamoto and Prada) for a total of $177,600 in 2024, called her 'the closest thing America ever had to their own Princess Diana.' As reverence for Bessette-Kennedy endures, it is perhaps unsurprising that any on-screen portrayal of the style icon would be subject to extreme scrutiny. Only two actors have dared take on the role before: Portia de Rossi in 2003 for the TV movie 'America's Prince: The John F. Kennedy Jr. Story,' and Erica Cox, who in 2017 briefly appeared in the four-episode mini-series 'The Kennedys: After Camelot.' Today, the stakes for Murphy's project — perhaps the most mainstream example, set to premiere on Hulu in 2026 — seem higher, as interest in Bessette-Kennedy has not only maintained since 1999, but mounted further. From recent books dedicated to her enviable dress sense and the details of her marriage to JFK Jr. to the Instagram accounts with thousands of followers dissecting her aesthetic, Murphy's new film has the potential to capitalize on a new wave of CBK adoration. However, the downside of more fans means more opinions. In the age of biopics — more than 20 were released in 2023 alone, and another 10 in the works currently — a passing likeness to the public figure in question will not suffice. In 2018, Gary Oldman spent more than 200 hours in the hair and makeup chair, weathering heavy prosthetics that added over half his body weight to accurately portray Winston Churchill. Part of Lily James's transformation when starring in the controversial 'Pam and Tommy' 2022 Hulu series was a fake forehead and custom-made dentures. In the fashion department, costumes are expected to be original items. Marisa Abela wore a cardigan and Pink Ladies varsity jacket that belonged to Amy Winehouse for the 2024 film on the late singer-songwriter. And when struggling to access Bob Dylan's personal wardrobe for 'A Complete Unknown' (a fictionalized account of the musician's life), the film's costume designer Arianne Phillips partnered with denim specialist Levi's to recreate an exact bespoke pair of the same Super Slims silhouette that Dylan wore. This high standard of character embodiment has given audiences a discerning eye, where even the slightest perceived inaccuracies are considered irredeemable. In the case of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, it feels particularly egregious because 'the wardrobe is a main character in this story,' as one disgruntled stylist wrote under Murphy's post. 'This breaks my heart.' Perhaps the pain also runs deep because fashion enthusiasts understand the importance of clothes as a medium to express one's identity to the wider world — and the strife of making sure you feel like yourself every day. Not only did Bessette-Kennedy seem to have mastered that difficult task; she also embodied the minimalist style of the decade while simultaneously being ahead of her time. Little wonder she has remained a mood board fixture for designers and editors alike. To sully that legacy seems like sartorial sacrilege.
