Dr. Jimmy Lyons: Existential Physics (or Why the Universe is Gay)

Dr. Jimmy has one aim: to prove the existence of parallel worlds (or, failing that, become the first gay man to win a Nobel Prize in Physics).
Can I Sit Down Please?
Created by Mia Stubbings ft. Roosterbank Productions
One woman. One badge. One seat.
What’s it really like navigating public transport with an invisible disability?

One Night shift, set against a backdrop of house music and movement, Student Midwives Kizzy and Eddie must learn the meaning of advocacy in an environment deafened to cries of women’s intuition.
