Hugh Laurie's address book must be kept. If he chooses to chuckle in the acting lark, he could make a fortune as an impresario, and the majority of British actors respond to his calls. The cast list for Why Didn't They Ask Evans (ITV), the Agatha Christie film that he adapted and directed, is crammed with enough top names to fill the London Palladium. Emma Thompson and Jim Broadbent were introduced as a bickering pair of long-married couples, Conleth Hill as a golf-loving doctor, and Morwenna Banks as a narcotic banker. Paul Whitehouse and Miles Jupp, as well as Laurie herself, will be performing.

According to a well-known pro-trans advocacy group, Eunuch is a gender

An influential transgender health group with nearly 100 members, some in the NHS, believes that a eunuch is a genuine 'gender identity,' which needs to be treated with 'gender affirmative' care. Over the weekend, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) updated its'standards of care' guidelines. A new chapter on caring for 'eunuchs' is included in the 260-page paper. It also suggests that medical professionals consider castrating people who identify as such. The new standards' developers, which include NHS doctors and representatives of UK trans charities, believe that castration will help some eunuchs better conform to their 'gender identity.' A eunuch is a man who has been castrated. They would have been slaves or slaves who had their sex organs removed against their will historically, according to history. They served religious roles and in some cultures, they were involved in espionage and clandestine service. In the television series Game of Thrones, actor Conleth Hill played Lord Varys, the eunuch spy master in the movie Game of Thrones. His appearance was coerced to be depicted as a child. Although the body's recommendations are in no way binding, WPATH is still very relevant.
