Theatre students craft catchy song: 'It's Alright I Suppose'
Students from learning disability theatre company Mind the Gap have produced an original song, called 'It's Alright I Suppose,' which reflects on their milestones - from memorable holidays to career goals.
The track, described as a "positive and inspiring piece," was created using the software Ableton Live.
The students created the music themselves, as well as taking a leading role in planning the music video.
A spokesperson said: "It's a heartwarming example of creativity, collaboration, and young people expressing themselves through music.
"It's a great celebration of local talent and a feel-good story from right here in Bradford."

The Ultimate Post-Summer Hair Recovery Is In The Cotswolds
The rolling hills and honey-colored stone villages of the Cotswolds have long captivated visitors, but lately, this picturesque English countryside has become the ultimate celebrity escape. From Khloé Kardashian's social media posts showcasing Estelle Manor's charm to Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi recently listing their Kitesbridge Farm estate for $30 million, Americans are flocking to this idyllic destination. But beyond the Instagram-worthy villages, farm-to-table dining, and that liberating feeling of a getaway, the Cotswolds offers something unexpected for the summer-weary: exceptional hair recovery treatments. The Summer Hair Damage Dilemma Summer may bring sun-kissed memories, but it leaves our hair telling a different story. The season's triple threat of UV rays, chlorine, and saltwater creates a perfect storm of damage that goes far deeper than surface-level dryness. "After a summer of sun, salt and chlorine, your hair and your scalp can feel parched and stressed. Much like your skin, your scalp suffers from exposure, often resulting in dryness, sensitivity and an overall lack of vitality. That's why our first step is always to care for the scalp," explains Nataša Brajović, hairdresser at Andrew Jose in London. The science behind summer hair damage is sobering. Prolonged exposure to the sun's UVA and UVB rays damages the hair cuticle, transforming shiny, lustrous locks into dull, brittle strands. For those with color-treated hair, the damage accelerates even faster. UV rays fade hair color extremely quickly and makes the hair feel straw-like. While at-home treatments can help, the damage often runs deeper than surface conditioning can address. Brett MacDonald, director at CULt. Hairdressing in London, draws from his Australian upbringing to offer practical advice. 'To prevent hair damage, use a sunscreen on hair just like you would skin and wear a hat. However, if damage has already been done, then weekly deep conditioning treatments are best to help the hair. It's best to leave the mask in for 4-6 hours to soften the hair or to use leave-in conditioners if you are at a beach,' he adds. Brajović also recommends a technique called "dusting" to maintain length while eliminating split ends. "This involves trimming only the very tips of the hair, removing damage without altering the overall shape or length. For most hair types, a dusting every 6-8 weeks keeps ends fresh and minimizes breakage, especially if you regularly use heat tools or spend time in the sun." However, when damage goes beyond what typical salon treatments can address, something more comprehensive is needed. Indulge In A 90-Minute Hair Renaissance Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, Dormy House Hotel and Spa offers something extraordinary: a 90-minute head spa treatment that goes far beyond conventional hair therapy. According to Sara Grundy, House Spa Manager, the treatment begins with a thorough scalp cleanse using Tabitha JK's naturally derived products, removing the buildup of styling products, excess oil, and environmental pollutants that can impede healthy hair growth. Custom-blended hair masks infused with botanical extracts, antioxidants, and proteins work to replenish moisture and strengthen damaged strands. These formulations restore elasticity, repair the cuticle, and seal split ends to address the most common issues following heat or chemical exposure. "During the Dormy Head Spa treatment, we use a number of products including a hair growth tonic based on the guest's concerns, scalp food oil infused with himalayan salt, a choice of organic hair oils, an amber rose body oil and magnesium foot crystals," explains Grundy in an interview. What sets this treatment apart is its holistic approach. The inclusion of magnesium, a natural muscle relaxant essential for regulating the nervous system, helps lower cortisol levels and ease muscle tension. Combined with acupressure massage techniques that balance energy and ease stress, the treatment creates a deeply restorative experience that addresses both the physical damage to hair and the mental exhaustion that often accompanies it. Plus, Grundy explains how the circular motion techniques used during the scalp massage increase blood circulation, reduce tension, and support lymphatic drainage which are all crucial for promoting healthy hair growth from the follicle level up. A Lifeline for Postpartum Hair Loss In an era where wellness tourism is thriving, Dormy House Spa represents the pinnacle of holistic hair and scalp care. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all treatments, each session is customized to individual needs, addressing specific concerns while providing the comprehensive care that summer-damaged hair desperately needs. That's why this treatment holds particular significance for postpartum women experiencing temporary hair thinning or loss due to hormonal shifts, stress, and physical exhaustion. The combination of targeted organic products and therapeutic scalp massage promotes long-term scalp health and encourages regrowth during this vulnerable period. For new mothers constantly on the go, the Cotswolds location isn't coincidental. The region's natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and distance from urban stress create the ideal environment for deep restoration. The spa's serene environment immediately calms the mind and revitalizes the spirit, further aiding in the postpartum healing process. Men, Too, Can Indulge In Hair Recovery Here Men aren't immune to summer hair damage either. Grundy notes that many men unknowingly carry tension in the scalp, neck, and jaw due to stress, screen time, or poor posture. The acupressure scalp massage helps ease this tension while improving blood flow to hair follicles, promoting healthy growth. The treatment's soothing formulations rebalance the scalp, gently exfoliate buildup, and deliver deep hydration to combat dryness. So, regardless of your gender, if you are looking to seek refuge in the English countryside and to indulge in a post-summer hair recovery, Dormy House offers both the setting and the expertise to truly reset your hair and scalp health.

The 'tank', which has been heavily featured so far during filming, has been shifted over to the new set, and onlookers gasped as it sped up St Vincent Street with a cloud of reek behind it. From other viewpoints, you can see that it is travelling towards a double-decker sightseeing bus at full revs. The actors on top of the bus could be heard screaming as damaged cars lay strewn across the street, and other motorists sped to get out of the way.

ITV presenter says ‘I don't know what I did wrong' after game show cancellation
Former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas has been left confused by the cancellation of his ITV game show. The channel has axed its series 99 to Beat, which premiered earlier this year, with Thomas stating: 'I don't know what I did wrong.' Thomas, 36, who played Adam Barton in Emmerdale until 2018, presented the series alongside his brother, former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas. The format saw 100 players whittled down over numerous games in a bid to win a £25,000 cash prize. News of the show's cancellation was revealed by Adam on his podcast Mancs on the Mic, where he admitted he was blindsided by ITV's decision. 'When I am positive about something, it gets cancelled,' he said. 'Like I did one series of [I'm a Celebrity spin-off] Extra Camp – got cancelled. The next presenting job I did was with Ryan – 99 To Beat – and that's got cancelled.' ITV confirmed the news to The Independent, but has not given a specific reason as to why the show was axed – despite it being 'one of the biggest entertainment launches this year' across all of its channels and streaming platforms. 'It reached 12.5 million viewers and was streamed over four million times on ITVX,' a spokesperson said, adding: 'The Thomas brothers are fantastic presenters, but unfortunately at this stage, we will not be recommissioning.' The 99 to Beat format originated in Belgium and has been adapted in 12 territories. The UK version aired in March 2025. Another show that received the axe this week after just one series is the critically acclaimed BBC drama This Town. Created by Peaky Blinders writer Steven Knight, the drama is set in the West Midlands during the 1980s and focuses on a group of young people who immerse themselves in the region's burgeoning music scene amid a backdrop of social unrest. However, despite strong reviews and winning Best Single Drama or Limited Series at the Royal Television Society Programme Awards in March, the show's run has been cut short. In a statement given to The Independent, a BBC spokesperson said: 'We're hugely grateful to Steven Knight and the cast and crew for bringing This Town to life – in no small part due to Steven's passion for the West Midlands.'
