âSupersonic Saturdayâ and actressâ Savile allegations
The drama around Oasis ticket sales dominates the majority of Sundayâs papers. Underneath a large image of Noel Gallagher watching his Manchester City team win 3-1 against West Ham, the Sunday Telegraph writes that the singer-songwriter enjoyed a âsupersonic Saturdayâ after his reunion tour sold out in 12 hours. Elsewhere, the paper carries a report of teaching unions urging the government to cut down the number of tests in primary schools â amid claims they lead to ââhigh levels of anxietyâ in childrenâ.
âShambles supernovaâ is the Sunday Mirrorâs take on Oasis ticket sales, after hundreds of fans complained about queueing online for hours and having nothing to show for it. The paperâs main story is an exclusive about a potential upcoming documentary on Lucy Letby, the British nurse who was was sentenced to 15 whole life terms after being convicted of killing seven babies and trying to kill seven more. Sources tell the Mirror that Netflix is âworking with production company ITNâ to deliver it.
Oasis fans going âmad for ticketsâ is the Sunday Expressâ headline â but the paperâs focus is an exclusive about the governmentâs plans to crack down on outdoor smoking, including in pub gardens. Landlords tell the Express they are concerned the ban will turn outdoor spaces âinto flashpoints if customers object to those breaking proposed new lawsâ.
An âonline supernovaâ leads the Sunday People, as do behind-the-scene images of the promotional shots that were released with the announcement last week that Oasis were reuniting. Sites experienced a âmelt downâ as millions of fans attempted to get their hands on tickets, the paper says.
The Sunday Times report that some Oasis fans, âwho waited more than three hours in an online queue on Ticketmaster yesterday, had to choose between buying âin-demandâ tickets at more than ÂŁ350 or not seeing the bandâ. Elsewhere, the publication has a story about parents who âallow their children to regularly skip schoolâ being accused by the education secretary of âdenting their future earning potentialâ.
Former Eastenders actress Daniella Westbrook has alleged she was abused by Jimmy Savile, one of the UKâs most notorious paedophiles, when she was a child. In an interview with the YouTube-based Lewis Nicholls Show, picked up by the Daily Star Sunday, Ms Westbrook claims she was abused by numerous people â one of which was Savile â between the ages of nine and 14.
NHS queues lead the Observerâs front page â specifically new research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which suggests Britons now expect they may have to go private for routine services such as dentistry and counselling because â the paper writes â âthey wonât be able to get them quickly on the NHSâ.
A royal story leads the Mailâs front page for a second consecutive day, with the paperâs Sunday offering carrying reports that Prince Harry âhas sought advice from trusted former aides in Britain on how to mastermind a return from exile in the United Statesâ.
