A Quiet Place: Day One Trailer Reveals The Day The Aliens Came To Earth
The first trailer for A Quiet Place: Day One has arrived, and it shows the exact moment the aliens came to Earth and made people stop talking to stay alive.
A Quiet Place: Part II began with an unsettling flashback of the day the aliens came to Earth, but Day One is entirely about the arrival of the evil creatures and the fallout that ensued. For anyone just catching up, the aliens in the A Quiet Place series are blind but have extremely good hearing, prompting people to do whatever they can to stay quiet.
In the trailer we see Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o strolling peacefully through a busy city street with her cat in her arms as she looks to the sky and sees the aliens crash into Earth. It gets pretty intense from there.

Q) MY rat Rob used to be very vocal but now he’s a year old he rarely squeaks.
Is that something I should be concerned about?
He is lively, doesn’t seem down in the dumps and eats well.
BRIAN COCHRANE, Aberdeen
Sean says: I wouldn’t worry, I think this is just the enthusiasm of youth fading slowly, now that Rob the rat is moving into middle age. I feel his pain, I used to be a lot more lively, vocal and fun too!

Q) I’VE tried to stop my dog Mella biting her front claws.
She’s always doing it, and I don’t know why. Any advice?
RICHARD BERTIN, Barry
Sean says: Get her checked by your vet, to put it bluntly.
Without examining the claws I can’t tell if they are brittle, the nail bed is inflamed, whether it may be joint pain in Mella’s digits, a fungal infection, or perhaps a referred itch due to environmental or food allergies.
She really needs a full physical exam to figure it out. Maybe they are just long and need trimming.
Q) FOR the past 17 years our two Siamese kittens have grown up together, eaten together and slept in the same cat basket day and night.
They were inseparable. Sadly, a couple of weeks ago we had to put Ozzy to sleep as he was very unwell.
Since then, George has stopped purring completely and he walks between rooms meowing very loudly. We know he misses Ozzy, but is there anything we can do to make his life a little easier in his old age?
DAVID POTTER, Stourbridge
Sean says: That’s very sad. I’m sorry to hear it. People are often surprised to hear of pets grieving, but of course they form close bonds with their comrades and human companions.
Sadly, we can’t help them through their grief by explaining coping strategies. We just need to ensure they get lots of TLC and be patient. In time they tend to get back to normal.
Basically, my advice is to spoil George with his favourite things for a while and allow him to come to terms with losing his buddy Ozzy.
Q) MY brother has rescued a seven-year-old bulldog from someone who could no longer care for it.
Albert has a wonderful temperament and is happy. The only problem is he seems to have an issue with his eyes, which weep a sticky yellow discharge and need constant wiping.
They also look opaque and cloudy, although he doesn’t appear to have problems seeing.
My brother is a pensioner and he cannot afford large vet bills. I would happily take the dog to the vets, but couldn’t commit to a long-term financial outlay. I would very much appreciate your advice, as I feel so sorry for this lovely dog.
JOSEPHINE COTTINGHAM, Finedon, Northants
Sean says: The first thing to say is that “rescuing” a dog that needs veterinary attention when there aren’t the finances available to provide it is not actually in the animal’s best interest.
Secondly, bulldogs often come with a huge range of health problems due to breeding. They often get surrendered to rescue centres when they start to incur high vet bills.
Eye problems are painful and a serious welfare issue so I would suggest at least bringing Albert to the vet for an initial assessment and an idea of costs going forward.
I commend your brother for giving Albert another chance, but if he’s going to have ongoing veterinary care expenses that he can’t afford, I’d recommend finding an alternative home for him, as hard as that might be to accept.
Star of the week
Boris feels underdressed if he doesn’t go out in his sunglasses[/caption]
BORIS the dog loves wearing a statement outfit for walkies.
The seven-year-old Goldendoodle feels underdressed if he doesn’t go out in his sunglasses, a jaunty hat – or even his favourite pink wig.
Owner Jill Dougherty, 39, of Edinburgh said: “It all started when he was a pup as my two boys Ray, four, and six-year-old Frank love fancy dress – and Boris loved getting involved.
“Now when we take him for walkies he waits for his sunglasses or hat – his tail wags like crazy as soon as we put them on him. His bright pink wig is a favourite.”

Humans, get the rid cattitude
FOUR in five cat owners wish they could be more like their pets, so they can live their best life, a survey found.
It revealed that 82 per cent aspire to have more feline qualities – being independent, carefree, playful and mischievous.

The Reality TV star said ‘she is everything I love in a cat’[/caption]
When each quality was broken down, 43 per cent wished for more confidence. Another 30 per cent want to adopt the qualities of a cat as they were lacking a carefree attitude, and 21 per cent said they wished they had more ambition.
These are all qualities that pet food company Felix, which carried out the poll, describes as “cattitude”.
Reality TV star Gemma Collins – known for brimming with confidence, and who recently added pet Snowybelle to her family – said: “She is everything I love in a cat: Mischievous, fun, playful and independent, full of character, and fabulous just like me. And that’s why I love her so much. We are just so alike.
“If people tried being more like a cat, they’d be a lot more chilled out.
“Say no to the things you don’t want to do, say yes to being more playful and adventurous. The confidence will then come”.
The seaside town crowned best in the UK by Which? – with ‘super soft sand’ and quiet beach
WHICH? has crowned the UK’s favourite seaside town, based on the views of more than 3,000 people.
The consumer champion asked the holidaymakers to rate their experiences of visiting seaside towns in the last year, based on several different criteria.
Bamburgh was praised for its sandy beaches and historic castle[/caption]
They offered their opinions on the quality of the beaches, food and drink offerings, tourist attractions and value for money.
Topping the charts for the third consecutive year was Northumberland’s Bamburgh, which secured an impressive destination score of 88 per cent.
A location steeped in history, Bamburgh is renowned for its stunning sandy shoreline, backed by the imposing ruins of its ancient castle.
Unsurprisingly given its unique setting, visitors awarded it a full five stars for its scenery, as well as for the quality of its beach and seafront.
It also secured five stars for peace and quiet, meaning day trippers never have to jostle for a spot.
One visitor praised how quiet it was, saying it has “super-soft sand that stretches as far as the eye can see, and there is plenty of space, so the beach never feels crowded”.
Hot on Bamburgh’s heels with a score of 85 per cent is Dartmouth, Devon.
It too secured a perfect five-star rating for scenery and accommodation, and was awarded four stars for shopping, its seafront, food and drink options and tourist attractions.
It also earned a respectable three stars for value for money and peace and quiet.
Making an impressive survey debut with third place is Portstewart, Derry/Londonderry.
Featuring broad sandy beaches and an attractive harbour and promenade, the town has a wealth of tourist attractions on offer, including a championship golf course, and achieved an overall score of 84 per cent.
Visitors praised the “fantastic beach” as well as the selection of cafes “selling home-style baking”.
Tying in fourth place with a score of 83 per cent are Portmeirion in Gwynedd, St Andrews in Fife, and Tynemouth, Tyne & Wear.
With its colourful array of Italian-style buildings, visitors noted Portmeirion’s “quirky” appeal and described enjoying a “magical” experience in the town, which was constructed over 50 years between 1925 and 1975.
St Andrews meanwhile drew praise for its ‘expansive’ beach and ‘characterful’ buildings, as well as its renowned golf course, a highlight that contributed to its five-star score for tourist attractions.
Visitors also enthused over the ‘beautiful’ beaches in Tynemouth and the wide range of sites to explore, from the priory, to the lighthouse.
Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel, said: “Few countries can be home to such a diversity of brilliant seaside breaks as Britain.
“Whether you want world class beaches and utter wilderness or the bright lights and bucket and spade atmosphere of a resort, the UK has a seaside break made for you.
“What our survey shows is that it’s rarely the most famous destinations that visitors enjoy most. Try somewhere new this year and our survey shows you should find fewer crowds and better value.”
Meanwhile, this seaside town in the UK is also home to dolphins, whales and puffins, as well as amazing castles.
And these are some of the most tranquil staycation spots in the country.
From more than 3,000 reviews Bamburgh was picked as the UK’s favourite seaside destination[/caption]
A Quiet Place Prequel Footage At CinemaCon Shows How It All Started
Attendees at CinemaCon were treated to the first look at A Quiet Place prequel that shows how the alien attacks began. The movie will focus on a new character played by Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o and helmed by Pig director Michael Sarnoski.
While the film still has a year before release, the footage gave us an idea of how the first day went down. It opens up in New York City and Lupita’s unnamed character on the bus with her cat. Suddenly there are strange giant sounds all around. The bus stops and the invasion begins right there and then. The back half of her bus is ripped off and we see New Yorkers standing in the street staring at the ships crashing to earth, looking like a meteor shower.
There’s also footage of people learning they have to be silent, to survive and there is a lot of chaos. It’s A Quiet Place in one of the loudest cities on Earth. The footage ended with Lupita crawling under a car to hide, but someone being attacked by an alien grabs her feet, begging for help.
