I’ve never been one to tamper with Wikipedia entries, but if I was the first thing I’d do is refer all traffic for the page “2017” to the one entitled “reap what one sows”. The page, which is depicted by John F. Knott’s “It Shoots Further Than He Dreams”, seems to adequately summarise what happens when populism meets realism –  a collision we have become all too familiar with this year. A year on since the US presidential election and...

With Dunkirk sitting comfortably in many of this year’s top 10 best of 2017 lists, it seems fitting to revisit another great World War 2 film. Stuart Cooper’s Overlord, commissioned by the Imperial War Museum, is a quiet, elegiac tale that took the Special Jury Prize at the Berlinale upon its release in 1975. The film, failing to find distributors, quickly faded and would have disappeared into the annals of film history had it not been for its rediscovery and...

Hollywood may be slowly stumbling towards a more equal society, but the dearth in female representation both in front of and behind the camera remains plain to see. Indeed, it’s telling – and indeed quite troubling – that many end of year film lists remain almost exclusively populated by the work of leading male directors, particularly given the wealth of female filmmaking talent we’ve seen in 2017. And so it’s only right that we celebrate the female directors who broke...

A pair of Doctor Who fans received letters from Peter Capaldi on the day of his show departure -- assuring them he will be "always there, somewhere in time and space". Brothers David McGilloway, nine, and Tom, 11, couldn't believe their eyes when they opened the personal messages on Christmas Day. The youngsters have been big fans of the show, and Peter Capaldi in particular, for many years. And they were sad that he was leaving the popular series after...

This incredible six foot snow teddy was built in a back garden in just five hours. Chris Handscomb, 28, set to work building the impressive sculpture after he awoke to discover scenes reminiscent of a winter wonderland outside his bedroom window. Heavy snow engulfed the Cotswolds and surrounding areas after 7cm of snow fell overnight in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The giant teddy has screwdrivers for eyes, coasters for his buttons, and his paws were made from compost....

A high flying executive who was called 'pikey', 'gyppo' and 'paddy' during board meetings has been awarded nearly £300,000 by an employment tribunal. Father-of-one Edward Bell, 52, was also told he looked like a "tinker" and asked where he had left his "horse and cart" - before being wrongfully fired for 'whistle-blowing'. And at one social event, Mr Bell was told he was the only person who could wear good clothes and still 'look like a gypsy'. Belfast-born Mr Bell,...

Lighting up the night sky with greens and reds, these are the spectacular aurora by a photographer in the world's northern regions. These amazing pictures of the northern lights were taken by astrophotographer Juan Carlos Casado in Greenland, Iceland and Finland. He said: "Auroras are one of the most spectacular natural phenomena that can be seen. Bursting with colour in the night, these aren't fireworks but aurora lighting up the northern skies. "They are global spectacles, in the sense that...

The advances of technology have managed to change the world and the way we live today. Studies and research in the field of medicine and technology with the use of nanobots represents a new field that opens the future to the treatments that can extend life expectancy by far. Scientists and researchers from the University of Cambridge work to take medicine to a new stage, that is, to bring closer to the patient all the benefits of technological advancement in...
