Recently signed to Dog Eat Dog, Inbetweeners creator Iain Morris directed the epic movie style campaign
‘Epic Downtime’ for Pokerstars is the first commercial directed by Inbetweeners creator, Iain Morris.
The commercial, which was shot remotely over three days in Bulgaria, opens on a man fighting his way through a crowded rooftop of zombies. After diving off the side of the building and landing on an inflatable, we soon realise he’s shooting an epic movie. We follow our protagonist as he boards a buggy and is driven through the busy set finding his thrill in chill and striking gold in his epic downtime on Pokerstars Casino.
THESE adorable babies are little rays of sunshine in a long, cold lockdown winter. Lockdown restrictions mean it can be a scary experience for mums having their babies at home or in hospital. And family and friends have a long wait before they can see the new arrivals. So we’re asking Telegraph & Argus readers to send us photos of their babies born in lockdown and we’ll share the happy news on our regular baby page. It’s a special time to be born, and we hope these picture galleries will be treasured keepsakes. Pictured above are:
Hollie May Crooke was born on November 10, 2020, weighing 6lb 6oz, to Adele Crooke and Chris Dunbar of Bradford. A little sister for Sonnie.
Preventing food deserts: Group trying to help rural grocers
The Kansan
There is a trend of rural and small-town grocery stores in Kansas closing, and a group called the Rural Grocery Initiative has noticed.
“Over a 10-year period, from 2008 to 2018, we tracked 54 rural grocery store closures,” said David Procter, co-founder of the Rural Grocery Initiative.
One of those was Weaver Grocers in Hesston, which closed its doors in April 2018.
The city council of Hesston has had discussions in the past two years of what to do but to date, no one has stepped forward to fill the void. Grocery shoppers in Hesston now can head to Newton, Buhler, Inman, Moundridge or Goessel.
