Wednesday 8th - Thursday 9th July
Farce, Scrutiny and the Commentariat – join the debate. It will not be televised again. Chorley witnesses its most important by-election at a turbulent time in the UK's political landscape. After the resignation of Labour MP Carl Ritter, four candidates are going head-to-head for the seat. Ritter's resignation leaves Labour with 325 seats. Should Labour's Steve Ollenshaw fail to win, then Labour will lose its majority. Four candidates. Three parties. One independent. Sadly, we won't be joined by the Conservative and Unionists in this debate, because the party's dead.

Gina’s destined to have a child that will save half the human race — if her life follows the plan. But a chance meeting with Archie, the man she was never meant to know, causes the flutter that shifts the future. Two scientists, Freddie and Zoey have mapped out every possible outcome, they do everything they can to keep these two lives from colliding.
The Flutter Paradox drifts between science and soul — a meditation on choice, consequence, and the quiet chaos of “what if.”
