  • The limitless value TV can have in changing attitudes (with Rob Rinder)

    The limitless value TV can have in changing attitudes (with Rob Rinder)
    Dec 23 2024
    *A warning this episode contains strong language.

    For many our first introduction to Rob Rinder was when his hit show Judge Rinder began on ITV back in 2014. The daytime programme, which propelled Rob to fame, saw him oversee civil cases in front of TV audiences from all over the UK. A decade on and a range of TV shows under his belt as well as books written, Rob is now a household name on television screens up and down the country. He joins Liam McConkey and Jo Lewis on the latest ITV Pridecast to discuss his career and the importance of supporting LGBTQ+ people for companies like ITV.

    His most recent show, Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, saw him team up with his friend Rylan Clark where the pair visited some of Italy’s iconic cities to follow in the footsteps of the likes of 18th century socialites by immersing themselves in some of the finest art and culture in the world. Viewers get to see the incredible bond and friendship that the pair share and how they both encourage and challenge one another to take on new exploits during their travels.

    And since the show was first broadcast, a second series has been commissioned with Rob and Rylan recently returning from India and filming their latest travel adventures there. During this episode of the ITV Pridecast, Rob also discusses how TV can have a limitless value in helping changing minds and attitudes. He says that TV has a huge power in transmitting people’s lived experiences to huge audiences that can actually bring about real change. He says we only have to see the impact of ITV’s hit drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office to see this.

    Since becoming a well known figure, Rob has been vocal about being an openly gay Jewish man. During this episode he discusses how he had unconditional love from his mother but how he grew up during a time when it was concerning to be a gay man when society just depicted LGBTQ+ life in a very negative way.

    In the episode Rob also chats about the advances the LGBTQ+ community has made, with regards to the law. He says that he is hopeful for the future and if we are to protect our LGBTQ+ rights we need to have a capacity to listen and rationally debate our concerns.

  • A story of enduring love despite the cruelness of MND (with Coronation Street’s Paul and Billy)

    A story of enduring love despite the cruelness of MND (with Coronation Street’s Paul and Billy)
    Sep 9 2024

    For anyone who’s been watching Coronation Street of late, it would be hard not to be moved by the motor neurone disease storyline which has affected the lives of Paul Foreman and Billy Mahew. Seeing Paul suffer with the illness that has made his body and speech gradually deteriorate, has brought home the harsh reality of those with MND. The climax of this tragic story is to hit our screens on Monday 9th September when Paul passes away after his 18 month heartbreaking ordeal.

    There’s no doubt that Peter Ash, who plays Paul in the soap, has done superbly at performing the stages of decline from this illness with such authenticity. And the same can be said of Daniel Brocklebank who plays his husband Billy. He has to watch the man he loves suffer as this cruel disease plays out. Daniel and Pete join Liam McConkey on the latest ITV Pridecast to discuss the story and how they hope to make more people aware of the disease.

    The storyline has had a particular poignancy for Daniel because his grandfather had MND. He has spent years raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association which works to improve access to care, research and campaigning for those affected by the disease.

    Awareness of MND has also increased over the last few years, due especially to the story of the rugby league player Rob Burrow who was diagnosed with it in 2019. Along with his family and best friend Kevin Sinfield, Rob raised millions of pounds for MND charities. Sadly he died in June this year but through his work and also the likes of the Coronation Street storyline, efforts can continue to tackle the disease.

    Joining Liam to co-host this episode is AJ Dean who is a Publicity and Engagement Manager for ITV in the North and she works closely with the teams at Coronation Street and Emmerdale. AJ has done huge amounts in supporting the ITV Pride network and earlier this year she was one of Liam’s guests on the podcast where she discussed the part she played in helping to set up the network.

    If you need any help or support about MND then head over to itv.com/advice. You can also access more information about the disease and find out about the work of the Motor Neurone Disease Association by going to mndassociation.org. Tune in to watch Peter Ash’s final episode on Coronation Street on Monday 9th September at 8pm on ITV 1. Or you can catch up on ITVX.
