When Tech Fails Drama Begins! New play to be debuted by Scottish writer at Edinburgh Fringe
Frustrated with an unfulfilling job, upcoming Scottish Writer, Director and Performer George Grant turned his negative situation into a positive and used his experience of modern online working to write his debut show, Operation Blank, which is to be performed at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Operation Blank follows the fall out of what happens after an atomic bomb is dropped on Copenhagen. With all-out war looming, an under qualified junior staffer in the British government must somehow get a response from his superiors. There is just one thing standing in his way: Microsoft Teams. With the show taking place over a surreal Teams call, Grant expertly blends stage and screen to create an immersive experience as the protagonist takes centre stage, alone, joined virtually by a colourful cast of characters projected behind him. Operation Blank is a biting critique of modern online working, that weaves laugh-out-loud humour to themes of unfulfillment and existential dread. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad From Aberdeen, before living and studying in Edinburgh, George was a bridge engineer before deciding to pursue his career as a writer and performer. Inspired to pen his new show during a low point at work, George now has the confidence to take Operation Blank to the stage and pursue his dreams. George Grant Talking about his first show, Grant explained, 'I started writing Operation Blank late one night during a low point at work. It was an honest, slightly jaded, reflection on how I felt my own life was turning out. After starting writing, it continued to grow, and it gave me the confidence to quit my job and pursue my dreams as a writer and performer. The show will be like nothing people have seen before, as although I am alone on stage, the audience will meet a number of characters from a very surreal Microsoft Teams call. 'For those who spend a lot of time at work on virtual calls, I hope they can really relate to some of the frustrations addressed in this show. I truly believe Operation Blank is just the start for me, and I can't wait to share it with everyone.' The show is taking place at Fleming Theatre at theSpace @ Surgeons' Hall this Edinburgh Fringe. Operation Blank will be performed from August 1 – 9, 6:15pm. The 45-minute show is a culmination of Grant's own journey, representing his first writing credit since transitioning to the performing arts from his former career.

Huge ITV drama ‘facing axe' dealt fresh blow as creator quits after he's slammed for woke storylines
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DESPITE gaining a huge following since its launch a decade ago, cold case series Unforgotten feels to some fans as if it is losing its way a little. First, lead Nicola Walker was replaced in 2023, then this year's series was criticised for its woke storylines. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 ITV drama Unforgotten has been dealt another fresh blow after Nicola Walker, pictured, was replaced in 2023 Credit: Rex 4 Chris Lang, the writer behind the ITV thriller, wants to quit the series after next year's run Credit: Alamy Now Chris Lang, the brains behind the ITV thriller, says he wants to quit as writer after next year's run. He said: 'I'll probably hand on the baton after this series. I'll still be involved, but I've written 42 episodes and don't want to repeat myself.' In an interview with the Royal Television Society, Chris added: 'I wouldn't write it if I didn't have something to say about the state of the nation. 'Because Unforgotten has an inherent and robust structure, that allows me space to hold up a mirror to British society — it's a Trojan horse show.' But the show, which also stars Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunil Khan, has been slammed by some viewers for those 'Trojan horse' storylines that deal with themes including immigration, racism and the Covid crisis. Taking to X, one remarked: 'I reckon one more series and this show will get mothballed or even fully axed. Unfortunately this one is a real box-ticking leftie crowd-pleaser.' Another posted: 'The woke mind virus has even taken hold of #Unforgotten' Another added: '#Unforgotten is forgettable. Another drama has gone woke.' A fourth said: '#itv how many woke boxes did you tick in that first episode? Lecturing your audience is so tedious.' Yet another stated: 'Given up on this load of woke garbage, supposed to be entertainment not propaganda.' Unforgotten star reveals surprise real-life family link to storyline - as hit ITV crime drama returns The first episode of last series, which aired in February, peaked at 7.4million viewers, making it the second highest-performing drama of last year. Chris also said that many viewers still hadn't forgiven the show for losing Nicola, who played DCI Cassie Stuart and replacing her with Sinead Keenan as new department chief, DCI Jessica James. He recalled how he was with his wife on holiday last year and met some American fans who were initially thrilled to discover Chris had written the show. But he said: 'The mood suddenly soured. One of the women went full Kathy Bates and said, 'You killed Nicola Walker!'. Here's hoping he hasn't killed off the whole show, too. WOULD I FLY TO YOU? 4 Rob Brydon IN Destination X, the BBC's new challenge show Credit: BBC HERE'S the first look at Rob Brydon as he launches Destination X, the BBC's brilliant new challenge show. Smartly dressed as a pilot, the Would I Lie To You? host can be seen getting the first nail-biting trial under way in the series that is part Traitors and part Race Across The World. And the contestants are in for a wild ride. The show, which launches later this month, sees them board a blacked-out bus where they are fed clues – and a few nasty red herrings – with one simple question at the end of each episode: Where in Europe are you? A £100,000 prize awaits the winner. But with the amount of Euro facts we'll all learn along the way, I reckon some of us will win big at the next pub quiz too. GLAD SPIN-OFF IS BACK THE Gladiators spin-off prank show proved such a hit with viewers it's back for a second series. I can reveal it will be shot when the lycra-clad muscle men and women convene this month to film the conventional show for BBC One. Gladiators: Epic Pranks is aimed at youngsters and sees the likes of Phantom and Giant playing tricks on one another, and members of the public, for the sadistic amusement of viewers. There will also be the celebrity spin-off, which usually airs around Christmas, at the same time as the regular show. But the names of the stars taking part have yet to be revealed. Watch this space . . . IT'S A FULL HOUSE IN LONDON MOST of you probably thought The Real Housewives Of London would be a bunch of filthy rich women carping at each other while gorging on various luxuries in the capital. Well, you're wrong – because they also go to Scotland. 4 Panthea Parker is one of the six cast members for Real Housewives of London Credit: Hayu Everything else is true, however, which is pretty evident in the trailer which has just been released ahead of the new show streaming on Hayu from August 18. It's like a game of posh princess bingo, with mentions of diamond bracelets, facelifts, caviar, castles – and, of course, oodles of money. Some of the interactions between the warring women are a delight. In the trailer, one tells another: 'You're just a chronic liar and an insecure tw*t!' Another tells a rival: 'You're a f***ing bitch, a low life and mutton dressed as lamb.' Can. Not. Wait.
