The March for the Homeless Group conducts nightly visits of people sleeping rough in Dublin.

Darren Bradley writes:

This man came up to us last evening very distressed with a €200 fine all because he dropped his last €2 on the tracks [at Tara Street station] and jumped down to get it. He was fined €100  for this act of “Trespass” and he alleges when the Garda asked for his address and he gave his family address the Garda told him that was a false address and fined him another €100…
The man was unaware that he was committing these offences he was just trying to get his €2 back as this is a lot to him….

What you may need to know:

1. Paul McGuigan, the director of Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ Sherlock gives Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes treatment. Got it? Good.

2. Starring James McAvoy’s wig, Daniel Radliffe’s wiggier wig, and Andrew Scott (no wig).

3. If you will insist on naming your kid Igor, don’t be surprised when he grows up to be a mad scientist’s evil henchman.

4. The US trailer far more jokey and uneven. Screenwriter Max Landis has promised that this UK version is closer to what we’ll see in December. Hmm…

5. Seems like a good excuse for a bit of Black Books.

6. Broadsheet prognosis: “IT’S ALIVE!”

Release Date: December 4.
