A heatwave has well and truly arrived in the UK which means it's time to welcome back our trusty household fan in an attempt to keep cool during those stuffy nights. While we want to keep as cool as possible, leaving an electric fan on throughout the night can easily rack up our energy bills. After we experienced a rise in energy bills, now more than ever we're keeping tabs on just how much we're spending in our homes.
One major contributor this summer could be your electric fans, but there's an easy way to work out just how much it'll cost to run each night. First of all, you need to work out how much electricity your fan uses, which can be worked out by finding out the wattage of the fan. In order to then find out the total output you need to turn the wattage into kilowatt hours.
A kilowatt hour is 1,000 watts used for one hour.This will give you how much output is used in one hour, and then multiply this number by the amount of hours that you've used the fan. Once you've found out the kilowatt output, you then need to times it by the amount you pay for 1 kW of electricity. However, there is no standard set price for electricity cost per kWh in the UK, so in order to find out this amount simply look on your energy bill.
Also, if you are on a default tariff and subject to the price cap then your energy supplier can charge up to 28p per kWh.The full equation is: cost = power (kilowatt) x time (hour) x cost of 1 kWh (pence). Prices will vary dependent on your energy supplier, type of fan and how long you use it for, and Uswitch estimates that a a 120W electric fan costs approximately 2p an hour to run. While some fans don't cost too much to run, those who prefer to use air con units to keep cool could see their energy

Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from the series finale of “Happy Valley” now streaming on AMC+ and Acorn. When “Happy Valley” wrapped up its second season in 2016, fans of the British police thriller were devastated that the intense series seemed to be over for good. Created by Sally Wainwright and starring Sarah Lancashire (HBO’s “Julia”) as a police officer in a hard-scrabble area of West Yorkshire, the series won the BAFTA for best drama in both seasons, and attracted a devoted audience around the world. Working in a region plagued with drugs, crime and poverty, Lancashire’s character Sergeant Catherine Cawood is a tough but empathetic cop who divides her time between solving brutal crimes and taking care of her sister, a former addict, and her grandson, whom she raised after her daughter died by suicide. Seasons 1 and 2 track her mission to bring down Tommy Lee Royce — the hardened criminal who raped her daughter and fathered her grandson, Ryan. James Norton’s nuanced performance as the violent Tommy, who still holds out hope for a relationship with his son, is the polar opposite of the crime-solving vicar he played in his next series, “Grantchester.”

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent British actor Jefferson Hall (“House of the Dragons,” “Oppenheimer”) will soon appear on screen in Emirati director Nayla Al Khaja’s psychological thriller “Three,” about a young boy who appears to be possessed.

Michael Morpurgo’s 1999 children’s book comes vividly to life in Neil Boyle and Kirk Hendry’s joint feature debut, a castaway fantasy in which a young boy learns vital lessons about the natural order of things. Seasoned screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce is on board too, and yet this is likely one of his sparsest screenplays yet, leaning into the subtleties of the animation: traditional hand-drawn 2D with mixed-media elements for the background. Older kids will likely love it, but a beautifully stark encapsulation of the bombing of Nagasaki in 1945 may rule it out as something for the whole family.

It might sound like a backhanded compliment, but Downtown Owl feels more like a pilot than a feature film and may yet yield a series. In today’s market, that could work out just fine for directors Hamish Linklater and Lily Rabe, who, after a choppy start, finesse Chuck Klosterman’s digressive 2007 novel into a thoughtful, broad-canvas ensemble piece. T Bone Burnett helps nail things down with an eclectic alt-country score and soundtrack, infused with the music and spirit of Elvis Costello, but it’s Rabe that holds it all together onscreen with a controlled yet still wildly uninhibited performance.
