'Whatever the world thinks of this, we made a show we're proud of'

, is sure to placate and even delight fans who may have been apprehensive about the latest attempt to bring The Sandman to life. From scenes and sequences pulled right out of the comic books' panels, to like-for-like reproductions of its most notable storylines, Netflix's The Sandman is as accurate an adaptation as you're likely to see.

Fans of the Lucifer TV show – which originally aired on Fox before ironically migrating to Netflix – are likely aware that Tom Ellis' live-action version is based on the Lucifer depicted in the comic series. Ellis' Lucifer, though, is a marked departure from how they're presented in the graphic novels – a fact that allowsalumnus Gwendoline Christie, who plays Lucifer in this project, to portray the character as they're illustrated in the comics.

That"freshness" that Christie alludes to are the creative deviations taken to modernize The Sandman for today's audiences. Subtle tweaks have been made, for instance, to subplots containing DC comic characters that Netflix doesn't have the rights to, meaning they've been reworked or removed entirely.

Football clubs urged to stop gambling firm sponsorships by fan-led campaign groupThe group is made up of recovering gambling addicts and families bereaved by gambling-related suicide. be the end of SKY's advertising revenue, hopefully. Refreshingly I didn't see any advertising during the recent women's Euros. As a compulsive gambler for 25yrs (18 yrs free) a move I'm wholeheartedly behind. I will not buy or sponsor individuals players shirts at Coventry until sponsorship from Boyle Sports is erradicated. I bet you it doesn't succeed. The games driven too much by money and no one's got more money than gambling firms. What about the likes of Sky Bet League One etc, will that be outlawed too? I think it should happen, but I seriously doubt it, look at stokecity as one can of worms
