So sorry to learn of the passing of the wonderful Angela Lansbury. I was lucky enough to meet her and experience firsthand her wit, warmth and steely determination. Her career was one of great range & depth, she will be sorely missed. Love to her family. bbc.com/news/entertain…

I’ve seen too many ridiculous comments about my pregnancy whilst filming @CallTheMidwife1 ( also thank you for the lovely comments!) Women get pregnant, our bodies change. But we have the right to work if we choose to do so. How about just supporting it, and don’t question it?


Great to have you back in the building Chris.

And so it begins. Back here today, for the first time in over a year and a half, to start casting #Unforgotten 5 And what a joy it was, to be back in an actual room again, with brilliant people. I feel very lucky. Roll on filming!

10:20pm @ITV - can’t wait for tonight’s return of the seminal Sorry, I Didn’t Know @SIDKTelly from the talented team @TriForceEvents and hosted by the ever brilliant @JimmyAkingbola Best way to round off the weekend. #BlackLaughsMatter #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth


So very sorry to hear of Dawn’s passing. She briefly joined the @EquityUK team in 2020 and was a passionate and engaging presence. Sending love and thoughts to her friends and family at this sad time. theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/j…


17 years, 5 months working here for @EquityUK - inspiring members and some brilliant colleagues too - will miss them. But I’m thrilled to be taking up the reins @SpotlightUK on Monday - a new chapter with an amazing team!

So sorry to learn of the passing of the brilliant Paul Ritter. Not only was he a wonderful actor but every interaction with him was the epitome of courtesy and generosity. He leaves us with a tremendous legacy, and will be greatly missed by all of us @EquityUK #RIPPaulRitter

Very sad to be saying goodbye to the superb Ronald Pickup. Brilliant actor, wonderful human and loyal @EquityUK member. He will be much missed. All our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time. #RIPRonaldPickup

Another sad loss to our profession. Christopher Plummer kept his support for @EquityUK since working with @TheRSC in the 1960s - a true testament to his solidarity with his fellow craftspeople across our globe. A legend in our time. #RIPChristopherPlummer theguardian.com/film/2021/feb/…

With a 10th and final payment run this month, @EquityDS has officially paid out over £11.2 million to 1000s of performers in 2020 🎉 🎉 🎉 The EDS has now paid out more than £45.5 million to artists engaged on Equity contracts since its launch in 2017 ✊


So sorry that we are saying goodbye to Barbara Windsor. I've met few other @EquityUK members who could equal her genuine warmth or generosity of spirit. On screen, on stage and in person, her presence will be sorely missed. All our thoughts are with Scott, her friends & family.

Excellent work by the @EquityDS team and some much needed money for many @EquityUK members in this terrible year.

**PAYMENT NEWS** ⌛️We're finalising our last payout of royalties for the year 🎆It's going to be BIG 💷In the region of £3M+ BIG 💪All performer payments are derived from @EquityUK union contracts & agreements Watch this space for more details👀 #ProudToBeEquity #JoinAUnion



Saddened to be saying goodbye to another venerable member today. Geoffrey was always generous and thoughtful in his support for his union - and among the first members to give to the @EquityUK Ben Fund Covid appeal. A true legend. #RIPGeoffreyPalmer theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…


This most miserable of years just keeps getting worse. John was funny, thoughtful, passionate and supportive of @EquityUK and our members. We will miss him greatly. #RIPJohnSessions bbc.com/news/entertain…

Equity is sad to learn of Sean Connery's death. Sir Sean never forgot his working class roots, or the fight for the cause of working people. A lifelong supporter of Equity, the first James Bond & a brilliant actor, he will be missed & remembered by many. bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…
