Iconic explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes revealed his 2019 Parkinson’s diagnosis to his actor cousin Joseph while filming their new TV show. <br/><br/>Sir Ranulph, 80, one of Britain’s most famous living explorers, opened up about his condition while shooting their latest travel series together in Canada. <br/><br/>Joseph, known for his role as Fred Waterford in The Handmaid’s Tale and more recently playing Gareth Southgate in stage show ‘Dear England’, was struck by how brave his uncle was discussing his condition. <br/><br/>The pair embarked on a trip to Canada to retrace the steps of Sir Ran’s 1971 Headless Valley Expedition, having previously joined forces in 2019 to revisit his 1969 hovercraft expedition of The Nile.<br/><br/>He led the North American expedition in the early 70s across the north-west territory where much of it can only be accessed by air, water or a long trek.<br/><br/>Joseph was speaking to Sir Ran in an interview ahead of the launch of Fiennes: Return to the Wild which airs on National Geographic on Sunday, 26 May at 8pm.<br/><br/>He said: “This particular expedition, a journey reflecting back on your visit back 50 years ago in Canada revealed something, which I thought was you were very brave at telling - which was the condition of Parkinson's.<br/><br/>“And it's not easy – it’s very brave to talk about it.”

The Burrell Collection.<br/><br/>Discovering Degas: Collecting in the Time of Sir William Burrell is the first-time visitors can see all 23 Degas works from Burrell's original collection at the same time, alongside 28 further world-class paintings, works on paper and sculptures on loan from 13 of the UK and Europe’s finest national and international collections.<br/><br/>Set to be one of the must-see Scottish shows of the summer, Discovering Degas is the first, major exhibition to be held at the museum since it reopened in 2022, after a £68 million refurbishment.<br/><br/>Staged by Glasgow Life, the charity that leads on culture and sport in the city, the exhibition will explore the collecting and buying of Degas artworks by Sir William Burrell and his wife Constance, Lady Burrell, who donated one of the single greatest gifts to the city of Glasgow.<br/><br/>As shown through fascinating letters and other archival material, Burrell is amongst the earliest Scottish collectors to buy works by Degas. Over a 40-year collecting period he bought over 20 artworks spanning the artist’s career, far more than any other UK collector.<br/><br/>By bringing these together with loans from The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, British Museum, The Courtauld, National Museums Liverpool Walker Art Gallery, Museums Northumberland, The National Gallery London, Tate, V&A, Amgueddfa Cymru Museum Wales, Hugh Lane Gallery Dublin, The Hunterian, National Galleries of Scotland and Musée d’Orsay, Paris, Discovering Degas provides an important opportunity to better understand Degas and a unique introduction and fresh perspective on a hugely popular art movement.<br/><br/>Loans are supported by the Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund. Created by the Garfield Weston Foundation and Art Fund, the Weston Loan Programme is the first ever UK-wide funding scheme to enable smaller and local authority museums to borrow works of art and artefacts from national collections.<br/><br/>Pippa Stephenson-Sit, Curator of European Art at Glasgow Life Museums, who co-curated the exhibition, said: “Discovering Degas has been an absolute joy to work on. Degas is one of the finest artists the world has ever seen and one of the founding artists of the Impressionist group.<br/><br/>“He was very fond of Britain and travelled here several times. He cultivated relationships and recognised opportunities for selling his work to British art collectors, who were beginning to develop a taste for modern French art. Sir William had a keen eye for his artworks and collected them for about forty years.<br/><br/>“From modern Parisian life, to horse-racing, to ballet scenes, Degas tirelessly tackled a number of fascinating topics in a way that was entirely his own. His artworks remain extremely popular today, particularly his ballet scenes, but we hope this exhibition offers a chance to learn something new about an intriguing, immensely talented artist. This is a unique opportunity to vi")
