As someone who'll openly admit that they spend more time than is normal sat in a theatre, when I found out that The National Lottery's Big Night of Musicals was coming to the 12,000-seater AO Arena in Manchester, I knew there was absolutely no way I could miss it. The casts of thirteen of the UK's biggest musicals all under one roof, along with some special surprises, all hosted by the city's own Jason Manford - how could I say no?

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Brendan Fraser revealed on a recent episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” that he had a near-death experience during a stunt gone wrong while filming “The Mummy.” The Oscar nominee said he was “choked out accidentally” during a scene in which he had to be hanged with a rope. “I was standing on my toes like this with the rope and you only got so far to go,” Fraser said. “Stephen [Sommers, the director] ran over and he said, ‘Hey, it doesn’t really look like your choking. Can you sell it?’” The production team filmed one more take. Fraser said, “The camera swooped around and I went up on the toes and the guy holding the rope above me, he pulled it up a little higher and I was stuck on my toes and I had nowhere to go but down. So he was pulling up and I was going down. And then the next thing I knew, my elbow was in my ear, the world was sideways and there was gravel in my teeth.”

You‘s fourth season would rack up significant debt, it has been estimated.The recently-released episodes of the hit Netflix show sees Penn Badgley‘s psychopath stalker relocate to the UK capital under the alias of university professor Jonathan Moore.Fans have noted how his lifestyle living in a Kensington mews apartment on a professor’s salary seems unrealistic, and according to King Casino Bonus, the overall estimated costs would indeed be unaffordable.A typical local professor’s salary would be on average £45,923, or £2,740 a month, after tax and pension deductions, while the rent at his apartment would likely be £2,240 a month, leaving only £500 each month.However, some of that would go towards council tax (£161 with a single persons’ discount), plus an average of £264 in utility bills in London, around £44 in broadband and £46 a month for his mobile plan would set him back further.On top of that would be an average of £296 in groceries, meaning overall he would exceed his monthly salary by £312, and incur £3,744 in debt by the end of the year.“Fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of Season 4 of You – not least because it’s in a refreshing new setting,” said King Casino Bonus.“After the season debuted, fans took to Twitter to express their amusement that Joe is seemingly surviving in one of the most expensive parts of London on a lecturer’s salary – and without a PhD or any meaningful qualifications, no less.“It’s no surprise then that the reality is that he’d be in significant debt.
