Hulu is bringing a classic character back to life with its new series, ‘The Artful Dodger’. Set for release this month, the show is a daring twist on the tale of the clever pickpocket from Charles Dickens’ beloved novel, ‘Oliver Twist.’ This time, we see an older Jack Dawkins, also known as the Artful Dodger, in a storyline that promises to merge his past with a new, upright life.
The adult Jack, portrayed by Thomas Brodie-Sangster, has traded the grimy streets of London for the fresh air of 1850s Australia, where he now practices as a surgeon. But his former life isn’t ready to let him go just yet. David Thewlis steps into the shoes of Fagin, bringing with him a tug back to Dodger’s life of crime. On top of this, there’s Lady Belle Fox, played by Maia Mitchell, challenging not only society’s norms but...

“The thing everyone knows about me,” says Rita Ora on a bitterly cold afternoon in November 2019, “is that I’m a bit Ocd about fashion.” Fourteen months later, of course, this will not be the first thing that springs to mind when people hear her name, if it ever was. The one fact everyone now knows about Ora is that she twice breached England’s Covid-19 regulations, first by failing to self-isolate after a trip to Cairo, where she had performed a private concert in November 2020, and then by throwing a party for 30 friends, immediately upon her return, in a London members’ club, in defiance of the six-person limit for indoor gatherings.
