17/06/2026 – At Monte-Carlo, the creator of Vikings, The Tudors and Billy the Kid discussed historical icons, magical realism and the need to make things happen on screenMichael Hirst has spent much of his career returning to figures and worlds that audiences think they already know. Yet, as he explained during an “In Conversation” session at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival’s Business Forum, his instinct is rarely to treat history as a fixed monument. Instead, he looks for vulnerability, danger and contradiction – the human material hidden underneath the icon. Speaking with journalist Marta Bałaga, Hirst returned first to Elizabeth, the…

Nico Paz (21) has informed Real Madrid that he wants to remain at Como 1907 for a further season, reversing an earlier plan to return to the Spanish club this summer, according to Diario AS. The Argentine midfielder has communicated the decision directly to Los Blancos’ leadership, with Cesc Fábregas’s side set to compete in next season’s Champions League.This marks a significant shift from what had been widely reported as a near-certain return. Earlier this year, AS and Fabrizio Romano had both framed the activation of Madrid’s €9m buy-back option for the 2026–27 season as essentially agreed, with personal terms…

The transition from functional leader to enterprise leader has always been difficult. But the nature of the difficulty has both changed and increased. The executives I work with today face challenges that barely existed a decade ago: governing AI systems they only partially understand, operating across borders where the regulatory and political ground shifts quarter to quarter, and arriving in enterprise roles with fewer of the preparatory experiences that once eased the leap. The skills that matter most in these transitions have quietly but substantially shifted.

Conversations neither of them will ever post. So before we crown them…

Lessons on avoiding communication breakdowns from one of Harvard Business School’s signature programs.

Famously described as “the best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never made“, Stanley Donen’s Charade has spent more than sixty years being either mistaken for the work of another director or measured against his filmography. The comparisons are understandable – there is a dead man, a missing fortune, a glamorous heroine pursued across Paris, a MacGuffin everyone is desperately hunting, and enough twists to keep audiences guessing until the final reel. Revisiting the film through Criterion’s superb new UHD release, though, what makes Charade such an enduring delight is not how closely it mimics Alfred Hitchcock, but the warmth and irreverence that…
