Exclusive World AIDS Day Giles Deacon t-shirtThere’s only one week to go until World AIDS Day and Prowler has teamed up with Crusaid to stock the EXCLUSIVE Giles Deacon t shirt for the charity’s THINK.TALK.ACT.GIVE! World AIDS Day campaign.

“Prowler is proud to be supporting Crusaid this World AIDS day. HIV and AIDS are still very serious issues and by stocking the exclusive Giles Deacon t-shirt we can raise awareness of the issues and help Crusaid raise money to continue its work,” said Mark Philips, Senior Buyer at Prowler.

British fashion favourite and GQ’s 2008 Man of the Year, Giles Deacon has loaned his collection mascot “Eek” to the campaign. Dressed with spikes in an abstract reference to ‘protection’ the edgy t-shirt is guaranteed to satisfy the fashion conscious and is this season’s ‘must have’ item for those who want to look good and support the HIV and AIDS cause while doing it.

“People need to be reminded that HIV and AIDS haven’t gone away and that it was not just an illness of the eighties. Fashion is a form of self expression and always gets people talking. By getting Eek ‘protected’ I hope he can inspire many conversations around HIV and AIDS and really get people talking and thinking about this illness– it affects everyone!” said Giles Deacon.

Stephen Fry Back in Bones


Stephen Fry in BonesStephen Fry is welcomed back in his role of Dr. Gordan Wyatt in Bones, Sky1's darkly amusing hit crime drama. The show airs on Thursday 19th November at 9pm and the episode is called “The Dwarf in the Dirt”. 

Created by Hart Hanson and inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and best-selling novelist Kathy Reichs, BONES follows forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan (Deschanel) and FBI Agent Seeley Booth’s (Boreanaz) work at the Jeffersonian institute solving crimes when the bodies are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that only the victim’s bones can provide clues to their fate.

In “The Dwarf in the Dirt”, Booth is still suffering some lingering effects from his brain surgery and has to get re-certified for FBI marksmanship. Unfortunately he’s not the accurate shot he was before going under the knife and seeks help from Dr.Gordan Wyatt (Fry) at his new restaurant. Meanwhile Booth and Brennan investigate the death of a little person who was a former wrestling star. “The Dwarf in the Dirt” will premiere on Sky1 HD and Sky1 on Thursday 19th November at 9pm.
