MAD ABOUT THE BOY

Cast: Maggie Smith, Lucille Ball, Laurence Olivier, Frank Sinatra, Rupert Everett, David Niven, Michael Caine, Harold Pinter.
A remembrance of Noel Coward's life and career as playwright, director and composer.
Sir Noël grew up in poverty and left school at nine years old. Yet, by 30, he was the world's highest paid writer and a star on Broadway.
Coward wrote, directed and acted in some of the finest plays of all time. And, he was also a spy during the Second World War!
Against all odds, Coward defined an era and led an extraordinary life. This is his inspirational story, told in his own words and music and unique home movies.
"If anyone wants matchless wit and style, watch Mad About the Boy. - Independent

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
