About NuCana
NuCana is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on significantly improving treatment outcomes for patients with cancer by applying our ProTide technology to transform some of the most widely prescribed chemotherapy agents, nucleoside analogs, into more effective and safer medicines. While these conventional agents remain part of the standard of care for the treatment of many solid and hematological tumors, their efficacy is limited by cancer cell resistance mechanisms and they are often poorly tolerated. Utilizing our proprietary technology, we are developing new medicines, ProTides, designed to overcome key cancer resistance mechanisms and generate much higher concentrations of anti-cancer metabolites in cancer cells.

When he first came to London in 1950, the Australian actor Trader Faulkner, who has died aged 93, was instructed by John Gielgud in rehearsals to “take that dreadful compost out of your mouth, Trader”. He did, sort of, and soon afterwards succeeded Richard Burton in Gielgud’s production of Christopher Fry’s The Lady’s Not for Burning on Broadway, appearing alongside Pamela Brown and Esmé Percy “in the glittering style of artificial comedy.”
That last phrase of the New York Times critic Brooks Atkinson could be as easily applied to Faulkner’s own life in show business. This was an eccentric tapestry of leading and not-so-leading roles, of name-dropping connections, close-up entanglements with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, flamenco dancing, Dorothy Tutin, for whom he reserved an unrequited adoration – they were houseboat neighbours for a time on the Thames at Chelsea Reach – and Maxine Audley.

There was always something rather cosy and cup-of-tea-ish about Ealing comedies and this 1949 comedy about two Welsh colliers who win a £200 newspaper contest price plus a trip to London to watch the England vs. Wales rugby match at Twickenham Stadium is no exception.
On the whole the kind of people who inhabit these films no longer exist if indeed they ever did in these immediate post-war films. Here we have two Welsh brothers, David Dai Number 9 Jones (Donald Houston) and Thomas Twm Jones (Meredith Edwards) winning a contest run by the fictitious London newspaper The Echo - the prize being a hundred quid each and coveted tickets for a Wales vs. England rugby match at Twickenham. The lads in question have the misfortune (not that they see it that way) to live in a little Welsh Colliery town with an unpronounceable name (obviously there will be jokes a-plenty arising from this) and work as you would expect down the mine . They are actually brought up from the pit
