Bylines

A selection of Greer's latest written features and bylines.

The Last of Us is one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed video games of all time, known for its gripping storytelling and unforgettable characters. Fans have eagerly awaited the HBO adaptation of the game, which stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay in the lead roles. A new behind-the-scenes documentary called 'Making of The Last of Us' finishes Season 1 and offers an exclusive look into the production.

Insights into the production of 'The Vicar Of Dibley' written by Richard Curtis and starring Dawn French from the documentary Vicar Of Dibley: Inside Out released in March 2021 on UK GOLD.

The 1994 sitcom became an unlikely hit focusing on a female member of the clergy who is placed in the small, traditional English village of Dibley. Cast members James Fleet and Mel Gedroiyc also feature.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a cult classic television series that has been praised for its portrayal of strong female characters, witty dialogue, and ground-breaking feminist storylines. However, recent allegations about the show's toxic set and the behaviour of its creator, Joss Whedon, have sparked controversy and prompted fans to re-examine the show's legacy.

There are several reported allegations of mistreatment on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer noting Whedon’s controversial behaviour towards the cast and crew. These revelations have affected the show's fans and its place in popular culture.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s 1939 musical, The Wizard of Oz, has been a childhood staple across the generations. While many viewers are familiar with its legacy, not many have discovered the dangerous lengths the actors went to in order to produce the classic.

Other than Judy Garland, Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West seemed to have one of the worst times of them all.

There are endless ways to watch a film in 2020; from renting the latest releases on the television to secretly streaming online using an ex-boyfriend's Netflix account. A trip to the local cinema is probably quite far down on the list and for Bryan Richardson, this is due to a loss of ambience and glamour.

Bryan took a 6 month training course before he was allowed to run his own cinema. Living in dormitories in the Gaumont Finchley, he took classes in front of house, how to deal with customers and abate complaints.

It was in 1965 when he received a telephone call offering him the position of Manager in Guildford.

“I’ll only go for £25 a week.”

“But we’re only paying the Manager you’re replacing £19!”

Nevertheless, they accepted and Bryan stepped foot into the venue that would keep him entertained for the next 30 years.
