Terence Davies, the film-maker regularly hailed by critics as among Britain’s greatest, has died aged 77.

The Liverpool-born director, perhaps best known for his semi-autobiographical study of working-class family life Distant Voices, Still Lives, starring Pete Postlethwaite, was working on a new project at the time of his illness and only two years ago released Benediction, starring Jack Lowden in the role of the war poet Siegfried Sassoon.
 
Piper Laurie RIP
She went on to receive Academy Award nominations for three distinct films: The 1961 poolroom drama The Hustler; the film version of Stephen King’s horror classic Carrie, in 1976; and the romantic drama Children of a Lesser God, in 1986. She also appeared in several acclaimed roles on television and the stage, including in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks in the 1990s as the villainous Catherine Martell.
