I had such a dream last night. I was floating above the trees with my lips connected to... to those of a beautiful figure, for what seemed like an age. Flowery treetops sprung up beneath us and we, um... rested on them with the lightness of a cloud.

“I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father’s house this evening or never.”

– Jane Austen, Persuasion (1818).

There are many myths that shroud England, but one very few know is that no more than twenty-one (21) years shall pass without a remake of Pride and Prejudice, lest the kingdom should fall.

"Two years ago, we were there at Christmas, as we do every year, and Danny (Liam's son) had these T-shirts made without my knowledge. Christmas Eve comes, and there's a ritual of dressing the tree. I'm last down, but they are all down in these T-shirts, but I don't know this. So I start dressing the tree, and it took about ten or fifteen minutes of pointing and sniggering for me to say, 'What is wrong with everybody?' And I hadn't seen that they were all wearing that T-shirt. That was, I guess, an early Christmas present, and that was revisited by Liam."

Ciarán Hinds on the T-shirt Liam Neeson wore during his tribute at the 2026 IFTA Awards.
