BBC announce emotional tribute to The Vivienne – seven months after death
The BBC have announced that they are set to honour late Drag Race legend The Vivienne just months after the telly star tragically died aged 32 The Vivienne will be honoured in a special BBC programme, seven months after they died. The RuPaul's Drag Race UK legend tragically died aged 32 in January this year, following a cardiac arrest due to ketamine use. Now, seven months after the death of the Colwyn Bay-born star, the BBC have announced a special show, Dear Viv, to pay tribute. The Vivenne became the first star to win the UK edition of the programme in 2019, instantly becoming a fan favourite across the globe. The project, which has the full backing of The Viv's friends and family, will celebrate their journey from North Wales and Liverpool to the international stage. The film will delve into archive interviews, family photographs, family videos and unseen behind-the-scenes clips taken from the Drag Race archive. Elsewhere, it will also follow The Vivenne, whose real name was James Lee Williams, as a young child and their rise to becoming one of the UK's most famous drag queens, including their experience on Dancing On Ice and becoming the first-ever winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars and their journey to West End fame as the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz. James' parents and sister also share a touching tribute, alongside friends including Baga Chipz, Danny Beard, Tia Kofi, Cheryl Hole, and Trinity Truck. In the project, The Vivenne was described as a "world-class entertainer" and "an inspiration, mentor, and a teacher." But it will also touch on The Vivienne 's struggles with ketamine addiction. Chanel Williams, James' sister, has since become a campaigner and raises awareness around the dangers of the drug, which is a Class B substance in the UK. Speaking about the production, Nasfim Haque, Head of Content for BBC Three, said: "Dear Viv is a fitting tribute to The Vivienne, who truly was a trailblazer in the world of drag. She showcased her artistry and talent brilliantly and paved the way for many to follow in her footsteps." Meanwhile, Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, co-founders of production firm World of Wonder, which also produces Drag Race said: "We wanted to celebrate The Vivienne and not just mourn her. Although she left us far too soon, her life was defined by her breathtaking talent, scene-stealing charisma, and infinite kindness. "We hope her vision and her voice shine through in Dear Viv and that it inspires everyone who watches it. Although producing it was bittersweet, we are so grateful to friends and family for trusting us to tell The Vivienne's story. Above all, we hope Viv loves the film as much as we loved her." On January 6, officers from Cheshire Police said officers had been called to an address in Chorlton-by-Backford, near Chester, on the previous day following reports of a sudden death. A coroner ruled that on the balance of probabilities, it is likely that The Vivienne died on the Friday and was not found and pronounced until the Sunday.

Tom Kerridge says one high street restaurant is his favourite for two reasons
Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has admitted that he avoids most high street chain restaurants - but there's one in particular he has a soft spot for after a 'funny date night' with his wife Celebrated chef Tom Kerridge has confessed to having a soft spot for the high street chain Nando's, despite generally steering clear of most chains. On Russell Howard's podcast 'Russell Howard's Five Brilliant Things', the culinary star revealed his unexpected preference for the well-known fast food joint. Tom remarked: "To be honest, no. I try to avoid them. If you've got restaurants, you want to eat in them, you normally go there. If you mean like McDonald's and KFC I never, I don't have them. I don't mind a Nando's though I got to be honest. Nando's is alright." Tom added: "It's a bit of a funny date night for me and my wife. So we've got a young son, he's nine, so if we get a night out and we live in Marlow. "We got a posh Everyman (a cinema chain) open in Marlow, but before that there was the ones up in High Wickham and we would go for a cheeky Nando's and then a movie. That was a date night out, yeah, Nando's High Wycombe." The 52-year-old chef highlighted another perk of dining at Nando's, beyond its suitability for a relaxed family evening. He added: "That's the beautiful thing. You go to Nandos no-one knows who you are, no-one cares. It doesn't matter. They're not looking at who are the Michelin-starred chefs in Nandos. No-one knows who you are, that's what I like about a Nando's." In addition to his views on casual dining, Tom has been vocal about the significant challenges currently facing the hospitality sector, reports Gloucestershire Live. Amid the cost-of-living crisis, there's also been a surge in energy prices, leading to venues hiking their fees and inadvertently fuelling a cost-of-socialising crisis. In these tough times, restaurateurs like Tom are caught between a rock and a hard place, striving to serve top-notch food at fair prices while remembering they've got a business to sustain and staff grappling with the same financial pressures. Earlier this year, he expressed his deep appreciation for his team, calling them the lifeblood of his enterprise. Chatting with the Guardian, he referred to his establishment as a "socialist space" where everyone's role is crucial. He elaborated: "A pot washer, that's the beating heart, that's the engineering, because a chef can't work without pans. Housekeeping is vital ... because if they forget to make a bedroom up and a guest walks into a messy room, that now puts a huge amount of pressure on the rest of the business because we have to look after those guests in a completely new way." Catch episode three of Tom Kerridge Cooks Spain on ITV tonight (Thursday, August 8) at 8.30pm.

Brian Cox urges shake-up of 'chaotic' Edinburgh festivals
The Succession star has suggested audiences and emerging artists are losing out because of a lack of collaboration and coordination between the city's major events. Read more: Cox, who first performed in Edinburgh with the Royal Lyceum Theatre company in 1965, warned that the modern-day experience of trying to navigate the city's festivals, which are currently in their first week, was "just not good enough" because they did not "function properly." Brian Cox has been performing in Edinburgh for 60 years. The Dundee-born actor has called for the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe to work together more in future and for an end to potential ticket buyers having to use multiple box offices who are 'vying with one another.' Cox was unveiled as an official patron of the Fringe Society - which oversees the running of the event - last year after producing a play by his wife Nicole at the festival in 2022. Brian Cox is appearing with Sandy Grierson in the play Make It Happen at the Edinburgh International Festival. Picture: Mark Bremner The actor is currently starring in the James Graham play Make It Happen, one of the flagship theatre productions in this year's Edinburgh International Festival. Cox was speaking at a UK Government gathering of cultural leaders at the recently-revamped Filmhouse cinema to launch a new partnership between the Scotland Office and the Fringe Society. He suggested a shake-up of the festivals was needed "for the health of the brain." Cox said: 'I sort of find myself in a really weird position. 'Everybody's talking about art. I want to talk about practical matters, about how we coordinate everything. 'The great thing about the Fringe and even the (International) Festival is chaos. But the problem about chaos is it's chaotic. "There's a real lack of coordination between both the Festival and the Fringe. There needs to be greater coordination, just practically, in order to make things function and function properly. 'At the moment, half the charm of Edinburgh is its chaos, but that's only half the charm. The charm is in the work, how we see the work, and how people pay for the work. 'There's a lot of box offices sort of vying with one another at the moment. There needs to be coordination between them all. 'I'm asking that we think of a way of really coordinating events a bit more than we do so we can practically deal with stuff that is a little impractical at the moment. It's just not good enough, quite frankly. 'So that is my bid. I never thought I'd be in this position. I thought I'd be talking about the art. But bugger the art. I'm really worried about bringing it all together properly, without chaos or chaoticness.'
