The country star’s company has filed suit against her nephew, Bryan Seaver, claiming that he menaced and attempted to strong-arm Parton’s estate after she died on 25 August. Seaver announced Parton’s death in a video and previously said this was “something Dolly asked of me years ago”.

Harewood has always had star power to burn – and he well and truly ignites this bold, sharp show about working in the police as a person of colour. What a brilliant milestone for Black British cop drama
Some of us are too young to have seen David Harewood play Othello at the National Theatre in London back in ’97. It was the first time, on that stage, that Shakespeare’s Black lead was played by a Black actor – as opposed to a white one in blackface makeup. Even if you missed that groundbreaking performance, on the basis of Harewood’s star power in the London-set crime drama Pierre, you can be assured he blew the roof off.
Pierre’s co-writer Roy Williams may not be the Bard, but he is another highly acclaimed playwright with an interest in how Black men fare in this country. Pierre on Channel 4 isn’t exactly Othello at the National, either, but it is another cultural milestone in the story of Black British crime drama.

Winning rider Barzalona hails ‘exceptional horse’
Stud beckons over bid for unprecedented third win
It was a very different, distinctly brutalist Longchamp that last saw a colt go back-to-back in the Arc, and 48 years on from Alleged’s second victory in 1978 with Lester Piggott holding the reins, the uber-modernist new grandstand rose to acclaim its first legend here on Sunday as Daryz produced the same overwhelming turn of finishing speed down the straight that had carried him to victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe 12 months ago.
Daryz and Mickaël Barzalona did not hit the front until inside the final furlong, but they had been closing on Bay City Roller, who had disputed the lead for much of the way, to such effect from well over a furlong out that the result was in no real doubt.
