News about James Graham

Columnist and renowned author Peter FitzSimons (pictured left) has reignited his feud with James Graham. It comes after the former footy star turned NRL commentator (right) recently called him a 'parasite' as the pair continue to go toe to toe on concussion in professional sport.

A new BBC four-part series had already been announced with James Graham returning as writer and Joseph Fiennes reprising his uncanny role playing England football manager Gareth Southgate. After accepting his Olivier for best new play at the Royal Albert Hall last night, Graham joked that he would start work on the adaption tomorrow morning - once the celebrations were over. He also said he hoped that the Football Association was listening and he can get tickets for the Euros in Germany later this year.

The war of words between 'parasite' journalist Peter FitzSimons (pictured left) and footy identity James Graham (right) continues to fester - with the veteran scribe standing by his comments in a column published by Fairfax on Saturday surrounding the dangers of concussion in sport.

Since the Bunnies' loss last Thursday night, former players and fans alike have slammed the NRL for not taking harsher steps against Latrell Mitchell (left), who has let fly with an X-rated rant. CEO Andrew Abdo (right) wants to meet with the Bunnies fullback, but he will not be punished for the shocking outburst.

For those of us who are working 'out of hours,' the pill is becoming a big issue. If you're isolating yourself and your family members or neglecting basic self-care, it might be time to ask yourself if you're a 'workaholic'. MailOnline examines the common signs that you are addicted to your job as Sherwood screenwriter James Graham talked about attending 'Workaholics Anonymous' for his 'addiction.'

The 41-year-old said he first admitted to having a problem when he discovered himself lying to loved ones about'stupid stuff that did not even need to be worried about,', including when time had to wake up in the morning to start functioning. If a friend or family member told him he was tired and asked what time he had awakened, he would say, 'Oh, you know, eight' when it was actually 5 a.m. He also stated that he would go without food for a whole day. Graham, who has written hits involving Dear England, Ink, and Labour of Love, was diagnosed with the drug more than a decade ago. 'You hear the word [workaholic] a lot [as though] it's a habit that you have, not a disease," Graham said on BBC's Desert Island Discs. "But it is... no way different from [addictions] alcohol, or some other thing.' It's a pattern of behaviour that's gradually killing you. People related to it, and some people were dissatisfied with it.'

Matt Burton (pictured left) of the NRL has no immediate plans to join the NFL, but the in-demand Bulldogs five-eighth, 23, has stated that he is open to a transfer to the United States 'down the road.' His handler Dave Riolo said that scouts who had been in touch before that were eager to hear.

Edward Brooke-Hitching's delightful book is a collection of the curiosities, absurdities, and downright filth that can arise when two (or more) human beings are attracted to each other. On London's Pall Mall, James Graham's 18th-century 'Temple of Health' was a facility provided by the 'celestial bed,' for example. The bed was moderately upgraded, and for £50 (no mean sum back then), it could have been hired by couples trying to conceive.

Daniel Evans' enthralling revival of his smash 2017 film about Major Charles Ingram and his partner, Diana. They were found guilty with college lecturer Tecwen Whittock for their participation in a alleged coughing ruse that they used to trick their way into the ITV quiz show's jackpot in 2001. James Graham plans to reexamine Ingrams' convictions, pledging the prosecution in the first half and the defense in the second. By voting at the end, the audience determines the outcome. Nonetheless, the whole episode is also regarded as a bit of parody.

Findmypast experts explored Wordsworth House (right) in Cockermouth, Cumbria, in collaboration with the National Trust, which owns the house. They discovered that, at the time of the 1921 Census, a member of the Wordsworth family was serving as a servant at the house. Annie Wordsworth, a 30-year-old girl of town doctor James Graham, is listed as a 'domestic servant' in the census report (left). Hannah, the mother of two, had been living in the city with her four-year-old son and daughter Gladys, who had never been named William.

Braith Anasta (pictured right) in rugby league may have some explaining to do after claiming on a podcast that the Sydney Roosters were cheating the NRL salary cap in the early 2000s. Anasta formed the Tricolours in 2006 and was a key figure in the team's triumph in the grand final in 2010.

James Graham was a firebrand on the track, and the former Bulldogs skipper has made no punches when it comes to the Canterbury disaster, squaring horns with veteran journalist Phil 'Buzz' Rothfield on the NRL 360 TV show.

We'll soon have death and taxes, as well as new NRL teams. So big-hitting heavyweights clash over just when and which new teams will be added to the NRL once it expands

Janice Margaret Johnson, 66, (left) published several journals that suggested she was entitled to a Cumbrian farm that belonged to John Harper, who lived about seven miles away. After his death in February 2016, Preston Crown Court heard how Johnson devised a scheme to purchase John's home, Scrithwaite Farm near Millom in Cumbria (right). A jury heard she had used her fields to graze her sheep for 19 years and may have 'convinced herself' that she was "very entitled' to the property.

According to reports, Netflix's bosses ordered a series based on the play Dear England, which has enjoyed a well-reviewed run at London's National Theatre and has been seen by 75,000 people since it opened in June. The play, written by James Graham and starring Joseph Fiennes as Southgate, tells the manager's tale from when he took over Sam Allardyce in 2016 right up to England's World Cup bid in Qatar last year. However, it does include a flashback to when he missed a penalty in Euro 96.

Josh Reynolds' decorated rugby league career (pictured right) has come to an end, and it was fitting that the Bulldogs star (left) had come to Belmore Sports Ground, where the Bulldogs' star (left) has become a club legend. This week, the 34-year-old announced himself giving up his top-30 NRL spot to allow the club to bring together former Titans halfback Toby Sexton to their first grade squad.

ALEXANDRA SHULMAN: People who are either visitors or hosts are divided in life. Guests love someone else arranging everything and then participating in activities planned for them, while others are dissatisfied with being on someone else's timetable or in their space. I am, by nature, a visitor. I love going to other people's parties and not knowing who will be there. Or staying in their homes and having their schedule managed by them. Despite being the best of them in several regions, I am relieved to leave the catering to someone else.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: In choosing Dr Christopher Cocksworth as his next Dean of Windsor, has King Charles confirmed his opposition to the Church of England's decision to bless same-sex civil marriages? One of two bishops who refused to offer prayers and blessings to same-sex couples was Cocksworth, a "open evangelical." It was believed that his defiance of any hopes of ascension to the greasy pole of awakened Anglicanism. The King had other plans, as shown by his description.

Maddy Fletcher and Charlotte Vossen have the inside scoop on what to expect and do this summer. There's something for everybody from Barbie's latest Barbie film to Bristol's Balloon Fiesta. See Joseph Fiennes as Gareth Southgate at the National Theatre if you don't want to pay to watch James Norton naked and abused for more than three hours in A Little Life. In James Graham's latest film, Dear England, Fiennes, 53, plays the England football manager. According to Graham, the drama will explore football's 'gentle revolution' under Southgate. It's unfortunate that the last act will not see the England team win anything, but it will be a lot jollier than James Norton's torture-marathon at London's Harold Pinter Theatre. Dear England runs until 11 August; tickets from £20, nationalthea

After losing in a race on Friday, eleven horses have now died within a month at Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby. The seven-year-old gelding was seen writhing in pain before crashing backwards after attempting to stand up. As vets raced to try and assist the horse, it was clearly in pain. The horse appeared to be sick before the race and threw its jockey, Ricardo Santana Jr., in the parade, but the horse was still allowed to compete on Friday.

Following the sixth race at Churchill Downs in 2016, a ninth horse died on Saturday, making it the ninth fatality since the Kentucky Derby's home. After finishing fourth in the $120,000 run, Swanson Lake, a 3-year-old filly, was pulled up by jockey James Graham about 100 yards past the finish line. She was kicked off the track and was vanned off the track. Swanson Lake sustained'significant injury to the left hind leg,' according to Dr. Will Farmer, track's equine medical director.' It was deemed inoperable on further diagnostics, and the filly was euthanized.

Sherwood will be back for a second season, according to the BBC. After making its debut on BBC One last year, filming for the new season of the famous show is expected to begin this summer. Sherwood, which was written by James Graham, is about a murder and a manhunt in a Nottinghamshire village that has been riven by the 1980s miners' strike.
