Created by Bafta-nominated writer Rob Williams, who wrote #KillingEve and #TheVictim, #Screw focuses on Leigh, a female prison officer who works in an all-male prison, which already tells us that there'll be a *lot* to unpack. glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/screw-…
Most exciting of all, the show's cast is made up of stars from #DerryGirls, #LineOfDuty and #IMayDestroyYou, meaning we'll be seeing some of our favourite on-screen talent acting alongside each other 🙌 trib.al/YXHOdtF Image
The six-part drama has been described by Channel 4 as a depiction of a prison like we've never seen before, showing "the uncensored, terrifying and often darkly funny reality of life as a prison officer in an all-male prison in 21st century Britain.” glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/screw-…

Curious op-ed in @washingtonpost's @KateCohen92 this morning that ignores 10 years of research on abortion on tv. Yes, there are fewer abortions onscreen than in real life. But they're there, increasingly portrayed by characters of color. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
First, to address the obvious, at @ANSIRH, @gesisson & I have documented decades of abortion portrayals on TV and film and put them all in a searchable database. Abortion has been portrayed onscreen for over 100 years. abortiononscreen.org
