  • A reckoning at the Guildhall School of Music

    A reckoning at the Guildhall School of Music
    Dec 23 2025

    Like many public institutions across the UK, the Guildhall school of music has had to reckon with a past where abuse by staff was either ignored or dismissed. So when a second former student came forward to tell The Observer's Vanessa Thorpe their story, this time from the 1990s, how would the institution respond?

    Archive: Beastly: The stories of David Walliams
    Dec 22 2025

    David Walliams has been dropped by his publisher over alleged ‘inappropriate’ behaviour.


    A spokesperson for Walliams said that the author had never been informed of any allegations raised against him nor was he given the opportunity to respond to questions about them. He strongly denies that he has behaved inappropriately.


    Walliams came to prominence starring alongside Matt Lucas in the TV series Little Britain which ran from 2003 - 2006. Critics though accused the comedy show of trading in stereotypes and casual racism. And some of that is evident in Walliam’s children’s books too.


    This episode was first published on 23rd May 2023.
