Emmerdale actor and his family have been documenting their journey on BBC One’s Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure, but he admitted there have been struggles along the way.Speaking to journalist Kate Thornton on her podcast, White Wine Question Time, Kelvin and Liz reflected upon their lives and how they match their busy work life with their family time.Describing her husband’s personality, Liz gushed: “I love that about Kelvin.“He’s all about the family, and yes, it puts a lot of pressure on me, some of these decisions, because he has to be gone to make these moves happen for us all.“But we have to find that balance together and deep down it does get frustrating if he’s away a lot.“And we’re too busy sometimes just to have that family balance.“But at the same time, I wouldn’t change it because I wouldn’t want that same routine every single day.“I wouldn’t want that kind of 9-5 life.“That just isn’t out kind of way of life sometimes, is it?”Kelvin agreed with his wife, adding that sometimes it was necessary to take a step back to establish a balance.He compared his lifestyle to his brothers, explaining that sometimes he lacked the ability to appreciate what he had due to his ambition to chase new goals.He said: “I wish it wasn’t some days, you know?“I think my brother’s got a real structured, consistent, very content, very happy…“It’s incredible really because his aspirations… we don’t share out level of aspiration because he is very much present, very much in the moment, and just content, whereas naturally, I just chase -whether it’s a career or whatever it might be…“Not that I always want more as such but I love it and I want another one, another one.“And with that inevitably comes a lack of ability to be present and see

Brits' phones if their life is in danger.Following a trial last summer, the UK Government is set to launch a nationwide service which will notify people based on location if they are at risk due to a nearby incident.

BBC Breakfast host Victoria Derbyshire grilled the Secretary of State for the Armed Forces about how the UK can help civilians in a tense Ukraine refugees row. Ben Thompson and the 53-year-old broadcaster helmed the popular BBC One morning show on Saturday as they updated viewers on the latest developments of the Russian invasion in Ukraine,During the three-hour show, the co-hosts discussed the devastating situation at length, with emotional scenes from reporters on the ground, as locals fled cities such as Kyiv.In order to shed some light on what the UK can do to help the huge wave of refugees seeking asylum during the mum-of-two welcomed MP James Heappey onto the show via video link.But their heated discussion left the presenter with more questions than she started with as she grilled the politician as to whether or not the UK would allow Ukrainian immigrants into the country as refugees.It’s fair to say the party member was frazzled by the hard-hitting question while thousands of civilians prepare to take up arms and fight to protect their country from Putin’s invasion.In order to get a clear answer from the government, the journalist asked the politician point blank if UK would open its boarders to those in need at this desperate time.The presenter said: “I’m asking you, will England accept Ukrainians wanting to flee to safety? And if so, how many Ukranians?”In an attempt to avoid the uncomfortable questions, James replied: “Sorry, I thought I had been clear; I don’t know the answer to that question.

BBC’s Peaky Blinders is an undisputed hit, with fans up and down the country preparing to tune in to the sixth and final series of the programme.The show, set in 1920s Birmingham, follows the fortunes of the Shelby family - a hard-working and fearsome gang.Their criminal origins are based in bookmaking, although as the drama progresses they move into a range of different industries from factories and gin to politics.Every member of the family is as rich, wild, complex and terrifying as the next, but each in very different ways.But did this larger than life gang of likeable murderers exist, and are the characters based on real people?The Peaky Blinders were real, however, they were different in real life to how they’re portrayed by the BBC, with many elements of their story disputed by historians.First off, the real Peaky Blinders are thought to have operated in the 1890s, not the 1920s - making them a pre-war rather than post-war outfit.Despite this, the Liverpool Echo says that some of the criminal activities the TV gangs are based on happened in the 1920s and 1930s, meaning what you see in the show is a hybrid of different parts of British history.Another difference it that the famous blades in the hats are actually most likely just a grisly rumour, with no evidence suggesting that they actually did this.What is more likely to be true, however, is that in the tough urban centres of England street gangs emerged, taking control of industries like betting.The gang is instead more likely to have earned its name through the snappy way its members dressed; like in the show they're believed to have worn a flat cap, suits and waistcoats with brass buttons.The dapper look of the Peakys still carries meaning to this day - people

The Quentin Tarantino discourse isn’t great right now. Following his disparaging remarks about Bruce Lee in the recent podcast conversation he had on the Joe Rogan show about his “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” novelization and his whole career, people are angry and upset.

Hollywood Reporter guest column response to the director’s comments about her dad made on Joe Rogan’s Spotify podcast. “Where I’m coming from is … I can understand his daughter having a problem with it, it’s her f – – king father!

While there are always a lot of news that comes up regarding Quentin Tarantino films, particularly when it comes to his dialogue and use of gore and violence, after the debut of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” there was a bit of a surprising controversy surrounding the filmmaker’s depiction of Bruce Lee. In a film that seems to celebrate filmmaking and actors of decades gone by, many people noticed Tarantino didn’t necessarily showcase Bruce Lee in the best light, as he came off as an arrogant asshole (Lee’s widow, Linda Lee, criticized the film and Tarantino, at the time).

Quentin Tarantino has defended his portrayal of Bruce Lee in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.“I can understand his daughter having a problem with it. It’s her fucking father.
