‘S**t joke': Aussie disability campaigner heckles British comedian over ‘insenstive' jokes
An Australian disability campaigner has slammed a British comedian over jokes about Type 1 diabetes. Campaigner Carmen Azzopardi was watching Paul Foot at the Moth Club in Hackney, in London's inner east, when the comedian launched into a 10-minute set filled with jokes about diabetics. In a video she shared on TikTok, Azzopardi claimed that Foot poked fun at people who wear glucose monitors, before mimicking someone having a hypoglycaemic attack by shaking. He also allegedly told the crowd that diabetics that suffer such episodes while wearing medical tech to help prevent them are 'idiots' because they 'don't know how to use their technology'. She said the comedian suggested diabetics have a 'victim mentality' and that it's 'not a real illness'. Speaking up during Foot's set, Azzopardi shouted from the audience: 'That was a s*** joke. I have Type 1 diabetes, that was extremely insensitive and miss-informative.' Foot rebuffed Azzopardi's heckling, insisting that he wasn't being insensitive toward people who live with diabetes. 'I don't think it's up to you to decide if it's insensitive or not,' continued the disability campaigner. The comedian then insisted that 'comedy is subjective' before going on to hit back at the Aussie woman for making the end of his set 'awkward' for everyone in the audience. 'Due to the failure of you to grasp that simple intellectual point, cause you fail to grasp the difference between these issues, cause of that it's ending in an awkward way,' he said. Foot then called out Azzopardi for talking during the end of his set and told the audience that she was on the 'emotional side' of an 'intellectual argument'. Azzopardi later added that the entire incident was 'deeply embarrassing' for the British comedian. 'All in all, deeply embarrassing for him, deeply, deeply sickening to witness as someone who is living with that disease,' she said in the TikTok video. 'It's probably one of the most blatant acts of ableism that I have ever personally experienced since being diagnosed with this illness, because that's what it is, it's an illness, not a punch line to a joke. I've never heckled/interrupted/called out during a show before but this was absolutely beyond disgusting and someone needed to say something.' Comments on TikTok were divided, with Aussie radio host Abbie Chatfield remarking: 'What a f**king loser … what is this niche diabetes beef???? Well done for standing up for yourself and others queen.' 'This is so weird? Did someone with diabetes break up with him? This is such a random gripe to have,' quizzed another. However, others inferred that the campaigner needed to grow a thicker skin when going to comedy shows. 'I understand how insensitive that must have felt but isn't this what comedy shows and satire is? It's joking and making fun of sometimes serious topics,' replied one. With another commenting: 'While I admit his jokes definitely weren't funny I don't agree with the 'you're so brave standing up' culture. I was at a gig were someone kicked off about a joke aimed at wearing glasses, it's a joke it's not real. If you are offended by jokes, even bad ones, just don't go to comedy shows.'

Clint Eastwood bemoans ‘era of remakes and franchises'
The four-time Oscar winner and veteran filmmaker has urged fellow filmmakers to come up with original ideas. The Juror #2 director said in an interview with Austrian newspaper Kurie: "I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like Casablanca in small bungalows on the studio lot. When everyone had a new idea. We live in an era of remakes and franchises. I've shot sequels three times, but I haven't been interested in that for a long while. My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home.'

Why did Ncuti Gatwa leave Doctor Who, and is Billie Piper the new Doctor?
After just two seasons as the iconic Time Lord, Ncuti Gatwa is leaving Doctor Who. To the shock of fans around the world, Gatwa regenerated in the series finale over the weekend, wrapping up his tenure as the 15th Doctor and opening the door for a new actor to take his place in the TARDIS. And in an even bigger surprise, it was the face of Billie Piper — best known for playing beloved companion Rose Tyler in the 2005 and 2006 seasons — who lit up the screen. While the how and why of this new Who are yet to be revealed, hints have been dropped, and fan reactions have been everything from "heartbroken" to ecstatic. Ncuti Gatwa became beloved by the world as Eric Effiong in Netflix coming-of-age drama Sex Education. The Rwandan-Scottish actor first appeared in Doctor Who's 60th anniversary special, alongside fan favourite David Tennant. He officially took the helm in earnest in the 2023 Christmas special, and the eight-episode series that followed. Featuring drag-queen villains and the Doctor's first gay kiss, the series was fun, imaginative and unafraid to confront the first black Doctor's race head-on. It was also the series' first collaboration with Disney, who acquired the global streaming rights in 2022. The reaction to the show becoming "woke" was swift, and Gatwa has received racist and homophobic backlash since the day he was announced in the role of The Doctor. But diehard fans were quick to point out that the series had always been progressive, and had amassed a legion of queer fans. From flirty queer icon Captain Jack Harkness in the 00s seasons to the changing role of female companions throughout the 60s and 70s, Doctor Who has always reflected the Zeitgeist. "I think that diversity has always been a part of Doctor Who," Gatwa told ABC Entertainment in April. "I think he's always explored social issues, and has travelled everywhere. "It's a universe where there's like, green lizard people walking around, so it's definitely part of Doctor Who to have everyone on screen." Rumours of the 31-year-old being "axed" for being the "wokest ever" Doctor ran rampant even before his second season aired. "I don't really know what the headlines are doing," he said at the season's launch. "I try to stay committed to the task at hand and just do my job. At the end of the day, it's all I can do." Meanwhile, the BBC fervently denied the claims: "Whilst we never comment on the future of the Doctor, any suggestion that Ncuti Gatwa has been 'axed' is pure fiction." Gatwa has since revealed it was always his plan to leave the role after just 18 months, alluding to the intense scrutiny as well as a desire to work on other projects. "It's a role that demands a lot of you, physically and emotionally and mentally. The actors playing The Doctor are only actors playing The Doctor; unfortunately, we are mere mortals. "I would love to have the energy and the youth to be able to do this full time for the rest of my life, but my knees are telling me it's time," he joked. Among fan communities, Gatwa was an overwhelmingly popular fixture, with "heartbroken" viewers expressing anger at his treatment and portrayal, directing anger at longtime showrunner Russell T Davies (RTD). Davies was behind the show's modern revamp from 2005 to 2010, taking a 13-year hiatus before returning for Gatwa's era in 2023. "Overshadowed and underused at every turn by RTD, given no chance to prove himself as The Doctor, and now he's leaving after only [19] stories," one fan wrote. "His introduction was about David Tennant and now his exit is about Billie Piper." Others called his quick tenure "disrespectful", and lamented him being the only Doctor not to face the show's iconic Cybermen or Daleks. "Ncuti Gatwa's brilliance as an actor was the saving grace of a lot of disjointed storytelling … I was beyond captivated by him and it meant the world to me for him to be The Doctor and so unapologetically himself. I'll miss him," one fan wrote. Viewers were also left disgruntled by the season's new companion Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu), who was seen as a strong but under-utilised addition. "Belinda Chandra. A character with so much potential — compassionate, uncertain, a little bit spiky, competent in a new and interesting way, compellingly distrustful of the Doctor," fan magazine Den of Geek said. "Potential that has, at this point, been mostly wasted." Chandra's role was overshadowed by returning predecessor Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) in the finale, and with Billie Piper set to return, her place moving forward seems uncertain. Billie Piper was integral to the relaunch of Doctor Who in 2005, starring alongside Christopher Eccleston and then David Tennant as 19-year-old Rose Tyler, a shop assistant living in a council flat with her mum. After two seasons of adventures with the Time Lord, Rose became trapped in a parallel universe, indefinitely separated from The Doctor. But, of course, Piper has made numerous guest appearances since then, last appearing in the 2013 50th anniversary special. While The Doctor usually regenerates into another version of himself, it seems that something timey-wimey occurred in the 2025 finale, and that Piper is more likely to return to her role of Rose. In an episode that also saw Jodie Whittaker reprise her role as the Time Lord, the credits stipulate: "Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor. Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor. And introducing Billie Piper." Piper also took to Instagram to express her excitement about returning to the TARDIS, posing with a white rose and the caption: "A rose is a rose is a rose." The news has received mixed reactions from fans. While some are calling it "nostalgia bait" solely "to boost ratings", others are "here for" the return of their "favourite companion". Amid rumours of the show's cancellation, it's unclear how long fans will have to wait for a new episode, but the BBC appear to have confirmed its longevity, releasing a media statement quoting Russell T Davies: "After 62 years, the Doctor's adventures are only just beginning."
