A disgruntled actor is in front of an industrial tribunal in Birmingham claiming injury and insult from the animatronic suit he had to wear in the TV program, ‘In The Night Garden’. Isaac Blake, 28, a Cardiff boy played one of the Tombliboos in the show, which is made by Ragdoll Productions and based in
Warwickshire. He says that the suit covered him completely and he was dependent on cameras to see, when the cameras failed for several weeks he was unable to see anything. He claims that Ragdoll intimidated him and forced him to continue performing until he fell over and had to go to hospital. He also suffered a pelvic injury in a different incident when he was asked to bend over. He was sacked after being signed off work by doctors and feels it was an unfair dismissal. He also has stories of colleagues calling him a ‘bitch’ and a ‘faggot’, and being ignored when he put in a complaint. The tribunal continues.

The Italian national anthem, better known as the Fratelli d’Italia, was the subject of a heated debate this week. Two lesser known artists displayed their object d’art at the Bolzano Museum of Modern Art which was promptly confiscated. The toilet flushes to the anthem in question, raising such questions as ‘is the anthem a national symbol’ and ‘is it unpatriotic to play it in a context in which it could be ridiculed’. The prosecution point to a decree that was issued earlier this year by the former government of Silvio Berlusconi which defined the national anthem as an emblem and the property of the state and argued that flushing this particular toilet is an offence to the nation. We are awaiting the verdict with bated breath and not a little trepidation.
