BBC comedy legend sparks concern as he cancels string of public appearances due to ‘medical situation'
A BBC comedy star sparked concern after cancelling a string of public appearances due to a 'medical situation'. Red Dwarf aired on and off from 1988 to 2020, with stints on BBC Two and Dave. 3 3 3 Chris Barrie, 65, who played the holographic Arnold Rimmer, has cancelled upcoming public appearances owing to a "medical situation". Over the weekend, the actor had been set to appear at London Comic Con. Chris would have joined co-stars Craig Charles, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn and Hattie Hayridge. Posting on his website, the star shared: "Hello everyone. "I'm going to be brief, but over the last week I have been dealing with a medical situation which I am only just beginning to get my head around. 'In the light of this I shall be attending no more events over the summer and into the autumn. "Updates on all this will be issued as and when.' Continuing, Chris confirmed he would be keeping one date in his calendar for the time being. Namely, his November 9 appearance at Newcastle comedy event Scarborough Unleashed. He explained: "In the meantime I shall leave Scarborough on the itinerary for now and will look forward to returning there in the early winter. Red Dwarf's Craig Charles reveals there will be more specials of hit show "Obviously I shall miss not being with the posse in London this Sunday but I'm afraid that is the way it is. Enjoy!' Red Dwarf follows the adventures of a group of oddball characters who are stranded on a spaceship three million years in the future. The show's main character Dave Lister wakes up after three million years in suspended animation to find out the rest of the crew on his spaceship were killed in an accident. This would have left him alone in outer space - if not for the strange companions he met along the way. This includes the hologram of his former bunkmate, the ship's computer, an android he rescues from a shipwreck, and the creature that evolved from what was his pet cat. It first aired on BBC2 in 1988 and ran until 1999, before it moved to UKTV channel Dave ten years later. Last year, it was announced the core cast would reunite at Comic Con Scotland in Edinburgh.

I was a teen mum – staff wouldn't even let me get my kid's ears pierced, I had to call GRAN for permission
A YOUNG mum has lifted the lid on raising a baby as a teenager - and revealed she's even had to call in her own mother for 'parental permission'. Rebecca, now 26 and a mum of three, regularly gives an insight to her family life on TikTok (@rebeccasharon_x) where she boasts almost 24,000 followers. 4 4 She first became a mum at 15 whe she gave birth to daughter Olivia, now 11. And she admits it was "pretty wild" being responsible for a baby when she still faced age restrictions of her own. In a TikTok video, she said: "I have been a mum since I was a child. I always think it's so weird how I was a mum and I couldn't even buy like a lottery ticket. I couldn't even buy alcohol. I wasn't even old enough to leave school yet. "Having a baby at 15 is pretty wild because you're not allowed to do anything." "But I wouldn't have had it any other way", she continues. "Because it's the most amazing thing ever being a mum, no matter what age you are. "She's like my wee best friend. She's my bestie even though she doesn't even want to hang out with me anymore half the time. "I really do believe that I was supposed to be a mum young because I love being a mum and I think when my kids are older and they don't really need me as much I'm gonna be so lost. "I don't know anything else but being a mum. I'll not know what to do with myself." Rebecca - also mum to Arabella, two, and 10-month-old Maisie - revealed she was even dismissed as Olivia's parent by workers when she took her daughter in to get her ears pierced. She had attempted to treat her little girl to the piercings when she was in primary one but was left stunned when an employee didn't believe she was her mum. Recalling the incident, Rebecca said in her TikTok clip: "See being a younger mum right? It's all fun and games until nobody believes you. "Olivia's going to get her ears pierced and it just reminded me of the time Olivia got her ears pierced like the first time. "So I took her down to get her ears pierced when she was going into primary one. She was so adamant she wanted it done. "So I took her down to the shop to get them pierced and I said to the woman 'oh she's going to get her ears pierced' and stuff and then she was asking me how old I was and all that and if I was her parent. "I was like yeah, that's my daughter." At this point, Rebecca was forced to call her own mum to come down to the store and vouch for her. 4 4 She continued: "I had to go and get her gran to come back down with me because the woman didn't believe that I was her mum. "I was the parent, I was consenting for her to get her ears pierced and I had to go and get gran." Rebecca's clip, captioned "A memory I will never forget", quickly racked up 77,000 views. And it turns out she's not alone, as other young mums shared their own memories in the comments. One said: "I remember years ago my mum took my to get my belly button pierced ( she had me when she was very young ) and the woman REFUSED service without proof of my birth certificate and said she 'didn't believe' my mum, she was heartbroken." A second wrote: "I've had this SO many times. Or I've been with family members and they assume they are the parent." Meanwhile, a third chimed in: "I used to get this anytime I went to A&E or the doctors with the kids, my dad always takes us and they would speak to him as if we were both his children." Relieved, Rebecca responded: "Yess!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one."

David Nicholls: ‘I'm nervous to admit it but I struggled with Jane Austen'
My earliest reading memoryThe Very Hungry Caterpillar. There wasn't much to read – the prose is what's now called 'spare' – but I vividly remember the pleasure of poking a finger through the holes punched in the page. And that final twist! My favourite book growing upI was a fanatical member of the Puffin Club at school, and so many of those books embedded themselves in me; E Nesbit's Dragons, Narnia, of course, the Molesworth books, which I barely understood and found hysterical. But my favourite were Tove Jansson's Moomins, particularly the chilly later books, with their very particular melancholy. Other books seemed to be reaching for laughter or excitement, but there was a pleasure in all that sadness and solitude. The book that changed me as a teenagerGreat Expectations was my first 'proper classic' and I was tremendously pleased with myself for getting through it, and startled, too, by how familiar the characters felt. The foolishness, the passionate friendships, the empty aspiration and unrequited love, it all made perfect sense to me, even across 120 years. The book that made me want to be a writerI'm not sure if I ever dared voice that ambition, even to myself, but I remember laughing hysterically at Sue Townsend's The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4, and thinking what an achievement that would be, to make a reader laugh with marks on a page. In many ways, the early 80s was a golden age of comic writing but so much of it had a rather rather self-satisfied Oxbridge tone. Suddenly, here was an authentic working-class voice, writing with an almost supernatural such precision and insight into the teenage boy's mindset. I loved it and, as with Great Expectations, turned the pages thinking 'How does the author know? The book or author I came back toI'm a little nervous to admit this but I used to struggle with Jane Austen, recognising her subtlety and brilliance but finding that ironic tone a little relentless and, despite many attempts, never making it to the end. But in lockdown I picked up Persuasion and finally, after 40 years of trying, something fell into place. The book I rereadIf I ever find myself stuck or jaded, I pick up Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping. The prose is just perfect, that atmosphere of a water-logged small town so vivid. There's a warmth and generosity of spirit, particularly in the character of Aunt Sylvie, I find incredibly moving. I feel sure that it's one of the very best American novels. The book I could never read againI've been lucky enough to adapt several of my favourite novels for the screen, but the process is prolonged, intricate and exhausting. The patient never survives the operation and I struggle to imagine the circumstances in which I would ever pick up Far from the Madding Crowd again. The book I discovered later in lifeI'm so pleased that Helen Garner is getting the praise and attention she deserves. I love her wonderfully frank and spiky diaries and nonfiction but there are two very different novels of hers that I think about all the time. The Spare Room is a tough, unsentimental book about the demands and limits of friendship. The Children's Bach is wildly different, a spare, moving portrait of a loving family falling apart. Those final pages! The book I am currently readingI tend to read two books at a time, one fiction and one nonfiction. Yiyun Li's memoir, Things in Nature Merely Grow, is extraordinarily wise, thoughtful and affecting, and the best case I can think of for the power of the written word. Alongside that, I'm reading the wonderful The Country Girls, my first Edna O'Brien but not my last. My comfort read Anita Brookner. There are no big narrative surprises – someone will inevitably be disappointed in a west London mansion block – but she's a great prose stylist, often very funny and sharp and undoubtedly underrated.
