Some zoos and animal parks are streaming live via webcams or re-showing live feeds etc. Please do not forget that whilst closed, they still need to feed these wonderful creatures. Enjoy and, if you do have any spare money that you cannot spend elsewhere, please donate.

The National Theatre is going to stream a free play every Thursday night


'... the NT is switching to its YouTube channel. From April 2, under the banner of National Theatre at Home, every Thursday (7pm GMT/2pm EST) will see a new National Theatre play released ? free to watch for one week ? along with bonus content including cast and creative Q&As and post-stream talks.


There?s a definite emphasis on family-friendly good cheer for the line-up so far, which kicks off with a big hitter: Richard Bean?s beloved farce ?One Man, Two Guvnors?, starring a pre-chat-show-days James Corden. Over the next few weeks you can expect a string of family-friendly titles, though naturally there will be those hoping for some of the real NT Live blockbusters, notably ?Hamlet? and ?Frankenstein? starring Benedict Cumberbatch and ?Coriolanus? starring Tom Hiddleston.


The initial programme is:


April 2 ?One Man, Two Guvnors? by Richard Bean, starring James Corden. Read our review.


April 9 ?Jane Eyre?, adapted by Sally Cookson. Read our review.


April 16 ?Treasure Island?, adapted by Bryony Lavery. Read our review.


April 23 ?Twelfth Night? by William Shakespeare, starring Tamsin Greig. Read our review.


Additionally, the National Theatre will be rolling out National Theatre Collection study resources to pupils now learning at home.


The NT has also confirmed that live performances won?t restart until at least July.'

Thank you IlonaM, this looks great. And some compensation for the fact that Sunday in the Park with George this summer likely to be cancelled. I was going to have a day off watching having watched the excellent Met Opera Gala yesterday but this looks too good.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
