To kick off Making Love, our new series in which the stars behind TV’s hottest relationships relive their romances, Mathew Horne and Joanna Page talk about meeting the one, snogs with strangers – and saving people’s lives
It’s a classic romcom story: Essex boy from Billericay meets Welsh girl from Barry, they declare their love in a coach station, he proposes in a train station before being dragged away by police and – with the help of a fake-vegetarian mum, a crackin’ friend who had a fling with John Prescott and a top-secret fishing trip – they win the hearts of the nation.
Gavin & Stacey was the 2007 love child of Ruth Jones and James Corden, following the ordinary couple played by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page. Their mates Nessa (Jones) and Smithy (Corden) became the “will they/won’t they?” relationship of the show – and Gavin’s parents, Pam (Alison Steadman) and Mick (Larry Lamb), were proof of everlasting love – but Gavin and Stacey were the pair we could all relate to. So much so that they are regularly voted one of Britain’s ultimate TV couples.

England never recovered after collapsing from 61-0 to 80-5 in the opening match of the series at Edgbaston
2nd over: England 8-0 (Duckett 4, Bethell 0) Prasidh Krishna is sharing the new nut and he runs in to bowl to Jacob Bethell. His first ball keeps low, scuttles under Bethell’s bat and beats the keeper too. Prasidh is nippy and there is movement through the air and off the pitch. Bethell defends and misses an attempted pull. Nowt more off the over.
1st over: England 4-0 (Duckett 4, Bethell 0) Bumrah’s first ball snakes off the pitch, Duckett watches it closely, defending into the off side. He plays and misses at the next one… and the next! Bumrah gives Duckett a cheshire cat smile, he’s getting some big movement away to the left hander with the new white ball. Inswinger coming surely… sure enough a booming inducker is next up and it smashes into Duckett’s shin! BUT it pitched outside leg, so no dice.

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he will deliver a “Speech to the Nation” on Thursday evening, though details of exactly what he’ll discuss remain unclear.
Such addresses are relatively uncommon and are usually reserved for big, nation-defining moments, though Trump has held several since returning to the White House last year. Last December, Trump delivered a year-end address that recapped his second-term Administration’s achievements to that point. Then in April, the President gave another primetime speech, this time focused on developments in the U.S.’s war with Iran.
The White House did not immediately respond to TIME’s request for comment on what the latest speech, scheduled for 9 p.m. ET, would cover, but multiple reports have hinted at the issues the President may touch on.
Both nations have resumed trading fire, and the U.S. President said an April cease-fire has ended as the hostilities have eroded an interim agreement toward peace.
Axios reported that an unnamed senior adviser expects Trump’s Thursday primetime speech to be a “potpourri” about topics he deems important but that the Iran war will be one of the discussion points. “It’s changing by the minute, but it’s something he wants to address,” the adviser told the outlet.
Focusing on elections
Elections are also reportedly going to be another point of discussion. Reuters reported, citing an unnamed Administration official, that Trump will speak about newly declassified intelligence on investigations into U.S. elections and what the White House claims are risks related to voting machines.
MS NOW first reported on the speech’s planned content, citing two anonymized White House officials.
Trump, who lost to Joe Biden in 2020, has repeatedly claimed without evidence that that year’s election and other elections in the country have been rigged. The President has continued to promote conspiracy theories even as his own Justice Department, lawsuits, and independent studies have failed to find evidence of significant anomalies.
As part of his campaign against alleged voter fraud, Trump has pushed Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which would mainly require voters to provide proof of citizenship and photo identification to cast ballots in federal elections.

It might sound brutal, but this is exactly the kind of damage plants are built to recover from – and thrive on
The problem
Trailing plants tend to grow long and bare. A pothos or tradescantia that started full and lush can become a few sad vines with all the leaves clustered at the ends, trailing toward the floor with nothing in the middle. The instinct is to leave the plant alone and hope it fills out on its own. It rarely does. Yet the fix – cutting off healthy growth – feels counterintuitive and slightly brutal.
The hack
Pinching out means removing the growing tip of a stem, just after a node. This redirects the plant’s energy, prompting it to activate and produce new shoots. The result, in theory, is a bushier, fuller plant rather than a few straggly vines.

Anchored by an indelible André Holland performance, the film finds tenderness and warmth amid its gritty Washington DC backdrop
In the lineage of Creed and Million Dollar Baby, They Fight makes yet another compelling case for why boxing remains a timeless allegory for the human condition. This time it’s Walt (André Holland) who’s staring up at a 10-count. Once a luminary on Washington DC’s boxing scene, Walt saw his promising career derailed by the city’s drug trade. After an extended prison stint, he is paroled and intent on reuniting with his old flame (Samira Wiley) and their young son.
Walt trudges back to the disregarded after-school gym where he first found his footing in the sweet science, hoping to chart a new path forward, only to be drawn into its revival by the resident counselor, Slim (Wendell Pierce), and a trio of boys spoiling for a fight. But it’s best friends Quincey (Toussaint Francois Battiste) and Peanut (Anthony B Jenkins) who wind up on a collision course for a national title belt as their futures, Walt’s reintegration into society and the gym’s place in DC’s rapidly changing Ward 8 hang in the balance.
