I have just got back from the pub where I and a (BBC-affiliated) friend were having this exact conversation. Please don’t let it be a comedian.

Always been a big fan of Héctor’s. Sure, he couldn’t cross a ball, but he brought so much style.

Elmet’s been turned into a play by total genius Javaad Alipoor. Known for theatre about Iran & its diaspora, with Elmet he’ll be exploring his Yorkshire roots. 22nd October - 2nd November in Bradford, with live music from Mercury Prize-nominated The Unthanks.

The five co-authors of this report on copyright, AI and the arts are all from the science and technology sectors. Not one artist or creator among them.
If you think intellectual life is already dominated by a narrow elite, I promise you ain’t seen nothing yet.
The sad thing is that email and admin have taken over academic life so much that many of us have to squeeze in the poisoning of minds on evenings and weekends.
