The St. Patrick’s Day parade scene in The Fugitive wasn’t scripted. Director Andrew Davis obtained the mayor's permission and, without rehearsal, dropped Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones into the real parade crowd. Ford said he lasted a few minutes before getting recognised.

The Gorton and Denton by-election shows people are bitterly disappointed with Labour but horrified by the rise of Reform. In many parts of the country, it's the Liberal Democrats who can stop Reform.
