Perambulating spheres of atmosphere
Bella Ramsey and Ben Whishaw sign up to Green Rider sustainability pledge
Actors including Bella Ramsey, Stephen Fry and Ben Whishaw have signed up to a pledge to cut the environmental impact of making films and TV shows.
UK arts union Equity has drawn up a "Green Rider" with eco-friendly clauses that can be added to contracts.
They range from avoiding private jets and big trailers to bringing their own water bottles and coffee cups on set.
She wondered if all actors were like that. Perambulating spheres of atmosphere with a little actor safely cocooned at the heart of each. How nice it must be, so cushioned and safe from harsh reality. They weren’t really born at all; they were still floating in some pre-natal fluid.

If Fatty Fry is for it, I'm agin' it.
Nice to see Elizabeth MacKintosh making an appearance.
Can we expect Emma Thompson to fly in on a private jet from one of her homes to make a statement about how much she supports this initiative?
S. Fry has always been a pompous buffoon. In all his long career on tv I never laughed at any of his verbose ramblings. He seems to be a barnacle that lives off the scraps discarded by its host, or an oxpecker - riding on the backs of greater talent.
Being male-ish, white, obese, his next appearance will be on Casualty / Holby, as that patient that you vaguely remember from his days of dim fame.
So no chance of bumming a ride on a private jet.
dearieme - me too. He constantly smirked while playing Jeeves - Jeeves never smirked.
James - Liz is always good for a quote.
Sam - we can and she'll bring her own coffee cup to offset the flying.
Doonhamer - he always makes it too obvious that he has a high opinion of himself. Very BBC.
