“Corinne Bailey Rae became a Grammy nominated sensation and a major presence on the U.S. pop and jazz charts, and there’s no reason why Reising couldn’t follow suit with enough Stateside interest and promotion. This album is the reason why jazz and pop fans looking for the next big thing need to focus on the great indie artists out there rather than just what the major labels keep throwing our way.” The New York Review

Party at Parlure Movie stars and burlesque dancers attended the glamorous launch of the Parlure Spiegeltent. Not one but three Marilyn Monroes were there for the party on Friday 2 May, along with stylish staff in fancy dress.
Little Hippo – show tickets First up in the giveaways this week is two family tickets (two adults and two children) to the world premiere of a new show at The Hawth, Crawley on Saturday 24 May. The show is called Little Hippo and is filled with magical puppetry to delight youngsters aged two to five. The play follows Little Hippo, who receives many beautiful presents on his birthday, but it is Daddy Hippo’s present that Little Hippo prefers. His present is a red pen. What is it for, what can it be, what's inside? Little Hippo tries to find out by asking his friends, but everyone says something different. Will he ever find out what this pen is used for? Based on the story Petit Hippo et Son Stylo Magique by African writer Alain-Serge Dzotap, Tam Tam Theatre’s enchanting adaptation with its accessible storytelling is perfect for the very young. Created and performed by Marleen Vermeulen, at the end of the story, the audience are invited to join Little Hippo on the stage and draw their own favourite things! This production is bi-lingual – French and English – but understandable if you speak only one! The show takes place at The Hawth Theatre in Crawley on Saturday 24 May at 2pm. We have two family tickets to give away. To be in with a chance of winning tell us: What colour is Little Hippo’s pen? See below for entry details.
The Backwoods – DVD Momentum Pictures are releasing The Backwoods on DVD next Monday 19 May, and we have three copies to give away. The film stars BAFTA winners Gary Oldman (Hannibal, Harry Potter) and Paddy Considine (Dead Man’s Shoes, The Bourne Ultimatum). Reminiscent of the best cult classics, this intense thriller is packed with suspense. Set in the summer of 1978, the film follows a couple who spend the summer with their friend Paul (Gary Oldman) in the north of Spain. Off the beaten track, their friend’s house seems ideal for a peaceful holiday. But their tranquil summer turns to horror when they discover a girl with horribly deformed hands locked away in a cabin in the woods… To be in with a chance of winning one of three copies of this new DVD, tell us: Which character did Gary Oldman play in Harry Potter films? See below for details. Entrants must be aged 18 or over.
The Abandoned – DVD The horror theme continues in Momentum Pictures’ next new release – The Abandoned. This film raises the bar for haunted-house horror with its shocking story. This is a metaphysical Spanish horror film from Nacho Cerdà, and not your normal slasher-fare. Featuring performances from Karel Roden (The Bourne Supremacy, Hellboy) and Anastasia Hille (The Hole), The Abandoned pushes the haunted-house movie into an abstract realm. The film follows Marie, who returns to her homeland, Russia, where her mother's dead body has been found under bizarre circumstances. The only clue as to what might have happened is an isolated, abandoned farm in the mountains. For your chance to win one of three copies of this new DVD tell us: From what country of origin is The Abandoned? See below for entry details. Entrants must aged be 15 and over. To be in with a chance of winning, email competitions@thelatest.co.uk with the title of the prize you wish to win in the subject box. Leave your answer to the question in the body of the email, along with your name, address and telephone number. Alternatively, write to us at the address at the front of the magazine. Closing date for entries: Tuesday 27 May 2008.

Welcome Here at Latest we're going to so many Festival and Fringe events, we're barely spending any time at home. We're digesting everything we see into bitesized reviews for you to read in our magazine (p27) and at www.latest7.co.uk so you know what's worth seeing while shows are still running. We've been noting all the outstanding events in preparation for our glitzy awards ceremony in The Parlure on the final weekend. To nominate a performance or to find out how to get tickets for this last party of the festival period, see page 12. Definitely worth a look in is the Budapest Gypsy Orchestra at Brighton Dome on 17 May. This is a chance, thanks to Brighton Festival, to see the world’s most famous gypsy band in a venue filled with atmosphere and enchanting acoustics. Brighton's popular Great Escape Festival takes place this weekend, with some of the world's best bands descending on the city for three days of music fanaticism. Nick Aldwinckle spoke to headliners The Fratellis and indie poppettes the Ting Tings (p35). Dan Higgins managed to blag an interview with another rising British export – the saucy and anachronistic Russell Brand – despite the star's unbelievably busy schedule (p31). Andrew Kay is looking forward to even more fringe performances, including a show by a new dance company set up by former Rambert dancer Dandy Diwangkara (p29). In news, I spoke exclusively to a fight club trying to stage a night of mixed martial arts, also known as cage fighting (p11), and Phil Mills braved his way into Brighton's haunted town hall, where a Chief Constable was once bludgeoned to death (p13). Andrew Kay ventures further afield in his restaurant review – he reminisces about a glorious trip to Caen, Normandy, at Easter (p24). The football season's over, so what next for The Albion? Peter Knight ponders their future on page 15. Don't forget we give away prizes every week. In this issue, try for a family ticket for Little Hippo at The Hawth, Crawley and two horror DVDs (p6), or a family ticket to Bob the Builder at the Brighton Centre (p32). You can’t say we’re not offering you plenty to keep you busy!

with Jo Brooks
Festival faces Jim’s in a rush and Zoe’s hanging out with Mike Brighton has been awash with celebrities around and about - if you sit at various restaurants around the city long enough you are bound spot quite a few! Let's go through the week – Sunday bumped into Bulls Eye star Jim Bowen leaving the Pelirocco Hotel in Regency Square – Jim literally jumped ship from Southampton to do a show at the Udderbelly. Tuesday lunchtime spotted actor Stephen Beckett – most recently know for his role in Coronation Street, and his wife Anna Brecon (also an actress) at Pizza Express. Stephen was happy to sign autographs for diners as he chased after his young son. Wednesday, off up to London for lunch in Oliver Peyton's restaurant in St James's Park, just walking through the park was a great spot – MP and ex-Lib Dem leader Paddy Ashdown, tucking into a sandwich. Back in Brighton and quickly spotted outspoken author Julie Burchill entering the new bar at MyHotel. Later on that evening spotted Zoe Ball walking into the Dome Theatre to catch a talk by legendary film maker Mike Leigh – phew what a week!

Another brick in the wall I spent most of last week inside a tunnel underneath Waterloo Station - no not busking, but it did cross my mind, but working on the Cans Festival. The art show was a celebration of stencil art, and of course the spray can and was the brainchild of artist Banksy. I thought I would let the art speak for itself... The artwork will remain on the walls for the immediate future and if you would like to visit it, the location is Leake Street, London, SE17NN or visit thecansfestival.com

KATIE’SCOLUMN
What Katie did Katie discovers that despite being famous, celebrities have feelings nonetheless
Human factor Five minutes into the conversation it’s already become apparent that Clarissa Dickson Wright doesn’t like Jamie Oliver. I’m pleased. As the fat lady launches into a a vitriolic attack on the cockney wide boy, I sit back and take notes. Smiling. It’s par for the course when talking to a celebrity to see if you can get them to slag off another one. Boris, what do you think of Ken? Cameron, what do you reckon to Brown? Kate, what’s up with Naomi? But usually it’s never this easy. Clarissa DW is sitting in the corner at a book awards party. And she is reading a book. “It is a book party so it seemed the right thing to do,” she explains, helpfully putting it to the side for us to chat. I slip in gently. And flatteringly. Asking about her recent autobiography – conveniently I have an ‘in’ because my friend Tanya just interviewed her about it for the Daily Mail.
The only thing those children learnt was to swear. Any schoolboy can put on a pair of striped trousers and a white top and drizzle things and call themselves a chef now”, she says. Her rant about Oliver lasts almost 10 minutes. By the end I am touting not only a notebook swamped with notes but a huge grin. Tomorrow I will write a story about how much she hates Oliver: my editor will be pleased; my rent will get paid. And this is exactly what happens the next day. But something else does too. For when Clarissa’s comments appear in print an email arrives from Sally – Jamie Oliver’s mum. An email that turns into a phone call that turns into an hour of discussions. Naturally she’s angry – much worse, she’s lovely. We talk about Jamie, his life, their relationship. She tells me how cross he’ll be if he finds out she called, she talks about how Jamie became a chef and tells me anecdotes about making his packed lunches for school. She talks about how proud she is of him, how hard he’s worked and how shattered he was as he worked night and day on his school dinners series, genuinely committed to trying to make a difference. “I know Jamie is perfectly capable of looking after himself, but he is not at all bitchy and has never done anything to Clarissa,” she explains sweetly, 'He worked so hard during the first 18 months of his campaign; I saw him utterly exhausted and at times completely overwhelmed by the ideals he set himself. You may think he has succeeded or failed, but he has unarguably made a difference.' And so has she. She has reminded me celebrities are humans too.
“We turned them down – I think supermarkets are the Antichrist, and Jamie is a sell-out” We move on to her life, the potential for retirement, and eventually we wing our way onto celebrity chefs. Immediately, she’s off. “I am not a chef I am a cook. Call me a chef and I’ll sue,” a grinning, indignant Clarissa blurts out. So it’s all too tempting to ask her what she makes of those whose living has been carved from this caveat. “What? Jamie Oliver?” she prompts, and from there she’s on a role: She tells me she rejected a £2million offer from Sainsbury’s to promote its products. “We turned them down – I think supermarkets are the Antichrist, and Jamie is a sell-out.” Even the supermarket pin-up’s attempts to change school children’s diets doesn’t impress her. “Jamie Oliver hasn’t done anything Jennifer Patterson [her fellow Fat Lady] didn’t do years ago – and she didn’t sell her soul to Sainsbury’s.

EMOTIONS
Eminemmylou Hi, I’m Eminemmylou, throwin’ lyrics at you. This week Mandy Pannett Picture In Grey There’s the sense of a river behind a low wall; footsteps on leaf fall, grey light through the mist. There are hours ahead for the unshed rain. This is an island of pavements and derelict blocks; a low landscape, no colour here. Nothing to do but wait for the lamps to be lit. Flies in the buttermilk whispers the song. Something is scratching and digs. On the Embankment a stone lion is lost in the fog. His paw is upturned. He begs. I detest my past and anyone else’s mutters Magritte as he sketches the lion. Thinks about gunfire and troops moving in. Adds a man by the parapet with his back to us; he is staring over the edge. Gives him black wings from the shoulder blades down to the ground. Considers a title: Pea soup, spleen of Paris, Philadelphia, mal du pays… Thickens the fog. Bats scuttle out as old lamps are lit. There are gaps in the masonry and a chill wind. A pigeon lies dead in a scatter of leaves. There are hours ahead for the rain.
Saturday 17 May – ‘Connections‘, with Mandy Pannett, 10 am–4 pm at Brighton Writers' Centre , £32/30 concs, Friends of THE SOUTH £30/28 concs. During this one day workshop you will discover all sorts of connections and associations between images, sounds, ideas, traditions, meanings, words and whole poems themselves. You will take part in collaborative and individual exercises and writing activities and will have several pieces of work in progress by the end of the day. It is intended that the workshop would be of interest to people at all levels of writing experience, especially fledgling poets or those who just want to take part and see what happens. The day will be hard work but also a lot of fun, exciting and stimulating. Mandy Pannett has spent many years teaching English to pupils with a wide range of abilities including special needs as well as leading creative writing workshops for children and adults in various parts of the country. She runs an Arts Cafe in East Sussex and is involved in working with local writing groups, advising on and leading many sessions on poetry appreciation and writing. Two collections of her poetry have been published by Oversteps Books : Bee Purple and Frost Hollow and her work has been widely published in the UK, Europe, Canada and the States as well as online.

Dani’s diary Dani is dealing with demons from the past that should be laid to rest
When I was at secondary school a friend of mine died. It was self inflicted. At the time, I didn’t really feel anything about it. We had kind of drifted apart and were not as close as we had been. But all I can remember about that time was that I felt nothing. A simple shrug would have described how I felt at that time. It wasn’t numbness. When you feel numb you have to be able to feel to feel the numbness. But I felt absolutely nothing. Well, not so much nothing. But as if nothing had happened. I didn’t cry. But now I feel guilty. I should have gone to the funeral. I should have cried. But I didn’t. I cannot recall when this guilty feeling caught up with me. Or why. But it did and I have thought about it nearly every day since. When somebody dies, there is very little that can be done about it. That is just a fact. We have to learn to deal with it, and understand that no amount of kicking and screaming can ever change it.
“When somebody dies, there is very little that can be done about it. We have to learn to deal with it“ But when someone decides for themselves when and how they are going to die, you feel a little more useless. Because you can never quite work out why, and shake off the feeling that you might have been able to stop it happening. But there is nothing anyone can do. I was hoping that if I wrote about it I would feel less guilty. I can’t tell yet whether or not that has worked. Perhaps just putting it out there will mean slightly less of it is in my head. Which can only be good. I am still a little confused as to why I had so little feeling about the whole situation when it happened. A lot of people say it was because I was too young to be able to deal with it all. But I know I wasn’t that young, I was in my early teens, and it wasn’t as if I hadn’t seen death before. Perhaps it’s the way it happened. He left the situation when and how he wanted. Having taken a dose of something hallucinogenic before taking a leap of faith attached to a makeshift noose. I left the situation with a massively anti-drug attitude and a distinct dislike of having anything tight around my neck. It’s funny how things affect you.

There are fewer rules in cage fighting because it draws from so many disciplines – except ZT bans elbows because they can cause bloody injuries. Club owner Sol Campbell – former European and British middleweight Ultimate Combat champion and former Combat Sports National Light Heavyweight Champion – said the sport was gaining recognition and is on its way to being recognised at the Olympics. He said: “It sold out at the O2 arena six months ago within an hour. It is the fastest growing sport in the world.” While not an official sport in Britain, cage or “ultimate” fighting is recognised by 16 countries including the United States, China and Thailand. It needs the approval of 29 countries to reach the Olympics. ZT spokesman Nick Harvey said: “When it does get recognised, we don't have the infrastructure in place to train world class fighters.“ Sol, who admits he was a tearaway youngster and was expelled from Cardinal Newman and Dorothy Stringer schools for fighting, says it was his commitment to boxing and, in particular, to mixed martial arts, that got him out of trouble. Running a fight school with students aged from under ten to over 50 provides a focal point for many young people who might otherwise lack direction. Sol said: “I had a lot of energy. Boxing for me was the main way of disciplining myself. Most kids when they grow up, they start getting into trouble. I was getting that way. I got my collar felt for fighting.“ About 600 people train at ZT from all walks of life, from eight-year-olds to a 56-year-old stunt man. About 35 of them take part in organised fights – others, who are able to train with the fighters at the club, use it as a way of pushing their fitness and getting better results. The last boxing night at Hove Town Hall at the end of last month attracted 750 people. There were ten fights, with one fighter billed as ‘The Nutter‘ from Whitehawk. Gregory Brooks, from Brighton, was there to see his friend Tom Minter, who in civilian life is a plumber from Worthing but at ZT is one of the club's best known fighters. Gregory said he saw events such as ZT Fight Night as a chance to celebrate masculinity. He said:

If some of Hove’s more genteel residents knew about it, they’d probably have nightmares. Every couple of months Hove Town Hall is loaned out to a local fight club to stage an exciting, fast-paced night of hybrid boxing and kickboxing, with members of the club taking on amateur and professional fighters from the local area and further afield.
“The male race are being neutered more and more. This allows us to behave like men”
Pictures: Tim Richardson
Now the organisers – ZT Fight Skool of Fonthill Road, Hove, are planning to stage Brighton’s first cage fighting night, where competitors can draw on a range of mixed martial arts to beat their opponents in a ‘cage‘ made of rope netting. Last time ZT – which stands for Zero Tolerance – tried to stage an ‘ultimate fighting‘ night such as this at Hove Town Hall in 2006, the event was cancelled by Brighton and Hove City Council after a campaign from the local Green Party. At the time, Green convener Keith Taylor complained that violent events such as cage fighting should not be held in public buildings. Instead the event had to be transferred at the last minute to the Copthorne Hotel in Crawley. This summer’s cage fighting night will take place at the Hilton Brighton Metropole in Kings Road, but ZT is hopeful that one day they might get permission to stage the controversial sport at a bigger venue such as Hove Town Hall or the Brighton Centre.
“The male race are being neutered more and more. We are losing our defining features. Things like this allow us to behave like men.“ Sian Agar, 31, a teacher from Hove, was there, she said, because: “It is a really good atmosphere. The last one was brilliant. It makes a nice change from just going to a bar.“ The next hybrid and kick boxing night at Hove Town Hall is on Friday 18 July, or mixed martial arts at the Hilton will take place on Saturday 30 August. Tickets range from £25, to £100 per person for a VIP table of ten including a three course meal.

Burglars hit in heat
Police warned beach-goers not to get carried away by the warm weather and jump from the pier. Sussex Police said last year one man died and others were injured after jumping from Clacton Pier in Essex. A spokeswoman said: “Each year emergency services are called to deal with people who have injured themselves after jumping into the sea from Brighton's Palace Pier or the walls of Brighton Marina. It is only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt or killed.“ Duke of York's manager Jon Barrenechea started a Facebook group calling for people to object to Starbucks opening in St James's Street. Within days, the group had nearly 600 members. Mr Barrenechea asked people to write to Brighton and Hove City Council's planning department objecting to the application by Starbucks to convert 115 St James's Street into a branch of the coffee chain. In his draft letter, he said the American store would harm the street's uniqueness and threaten existing independent stores in times of economic uncertainty. A man who appeared in Channel 4's Wife Swap was found dead. Simon Foster, 40, from Whitehawk, was thought to have taken an overdose. A former van driver, his marriage broke down and he lost his job after the show. A mother's campaign to ban violent porn which was implicated in her daughter's death finally succeeded. Liz Longhurst has been lobbying the Government to do something about extreme images and internet sites since her daughter Jane was killed by Graham Coutts in 2003. The new Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, which has now received Royal Assent, makes it an offence to possess sexually violent images. Anyone convicted could be jailed for up to three years. Construction workers discovered a 25lb World War II shell in the grounds of Brighton University. A 100-metre cordon was put in place at Falmer campus following the discovery last Wednesday (7 May) at 11.40am. Bomb disposal experts decided a controlled explosion was not necessary and the site was reopened at 3.15pm.

Burglars hit five homes where owners left windows and doors open during warmer weather. Handbags, purses and wallets were taken and police are urging people to step up security. Police think the raiders are driving round Brighton and Hove looking for unsecured homes. A city police spokesman said: “It’s natural to open windows and doors when it’s hot outside but they are invitations to thieves. “Be on guard, ensure your valuables are secure and if you hear anything unusual while outside in the garden then don’t ignore it – it could be someone breaking into your or your neighbour’s home. “Being burgled can have a devastating effect on victims and it is our job to ensure as few people as possible go through the ordeal.”

Aldi uncertain Budget superstore Aldi is having cold feet about opening a shop in the former London Road premises of Sainsbury’s. The chain bought the building last year and was supposed to have opened an outlet by now. But the company has admitted to Latest 7 that the plans are on ice. Roland Stanley, property director for Aldi Chelmsford, said: “Aldi is currently reviewing the proposed site in London Road, Brighton and will update residents accordingly.“ St James's Investments which wants to develop the London Road area further out of Brighton revealed recently that it wants to
bring a landmark Tesco store to the area. But Tony Mernagh, executive director of the Brighton and Hove Economic Partnership, thought this was unlikely to have put Aldi off and the company was probably holding off because of the economic climate. He said: “I think a great many developments will be put on hold, particularly retail developments until we see exactly by how much the economy is going to contract. It doesn't surprise me. However, I would say almost certainly all of these decisions will be revisited towards the end of the year when I think we will come out of this downturn. “It is a delay, not a disaster.“
Students are being offered the chance to gain a degree in street performance and carnival skills. City College Brighton and Hove has launched the UK’s first street arts performance course. Graduates will leave with a higher education foundation degree, which is a year below a bachelor of arts but can be topped up to become a full university degree. The course will cover all types of outdoor performances such as carnivals, street theatre, installations and spectaculars. It will provide students with the opportunity to develop skills with performers from a range of disciplines and take part in events such as Brighton Festival and fringe. They will also be taught business and law and how to find sustainable employment. Donna Close, arts development manager for the Brighton and Hove Arts Commission, said: “We are extremely pleased that City College has seized the initiative in creating a course that will help create a new generation of artists creating high-quality work in the public realm.” While there is no Streets of Brighton during this year's fringe, there is performance with Fringe City every Saturday including an international buskers festival on 24 May.

LATESTNEWS Phil Mills examines the recent ghostly goings-on in the town hall
Ghost town Whether you are a believer or not, the fact remains that ghostly events at Brighton’s old town hall have got people spooked. A group of Prince’s Trust volunteers had to leave the old basement museum recently when a sudden and unexplained surge of heat had them struggling to breathe properly. Doors in the old building have opened with no apparent cause and several staff members have testified to feeling a strange presence. Sussex Chief Constable Martin Richards visited the building and while he came away with no sightings of spectres or fear of phantoms, ghost hunters are undeterred and are descending the steps to investigate the situation for themselves.Believers say it all relates to the murder of one of Mr Richards’ predecessors more than 160 years ago. The town hall in Bartholomew Square was once home to Brighton police station, where a chief constable was murdered in his own office. In 1836, Henry Solomon was made chief constable of Brighton Police and eight years later, he was bludgeoned to death. He was questioning 23-year-old John Lawrence, arrested in St James’s Street, about the theft of a carpet. Lawrence went to an open fire, grabbed a poker and struck the chief so hard on the side of the head it bent the weapon. He was later hanged for murder and the chief has reportedly

haunted the basement ever since, although why he would want to is also mystifying. Ghosts or no ghosts, the museum, recently reopened for the season to September, is being hailed as a hidden gem, packed with memorabilia. It traces the history of all the local Sussex forces which eventually merged to become Sussex Police.

“There have been sounds of a child crying and footsteps of someone wearing heavy boots“ There are tools of the police trade including truncheons and handcuffs and the old cells can still be seen. Walls are daubed with graffiti from prisoners including battling mods and rockers who so famously fought pitched battles on the city’s seafront. There are historic photographs and old uniforms including the famous white helmet, Brighton officers’ unique headgear worn in the summer months until 1967. A model of the wrecked Grand Hotel is a stark reminder of how the IRA killed five and injured 30 when they blew up the building in 1984. The model was used as an
exhibit at the Old Bailey trial of terrorist Patrick Magee. Police were based at the town hall between 1832 and 1965 when the current station in John Street was constructed. Today, there are more than 3,000 police in Sussex, but things were very different in the early 19th century. In 1812 there were eight watchmen in Brighton, all wearing top hats, black tailcoats and white trousers. They carried batons and rattles. Some 25 years later, when Brighton’s population was just under 50,000, the Brighton force had 31 officers: a chief constable, two superintendents, three inspectors, 24 constables and a night constable. Helmets replaced top hats in 1868 when the force had increased to 100, and by 1967, the year when Sussex Police was formed, there were 150 officers for a town population of 124,000. Victorian windows in the town hall and which face Little East Street still bear the word “police” and today they help guide visitors to the right building. Councillor Pat Drake, former chairwoman of the Sussex Police Authority and a driving force in setting up the museum, admits to being a bit of a sceptic when it comes to ghosts, but she will not dismiss the stories. She said: “The mayor’s secretary has told of her door suddenly opening – with no gust of wind or anything like that to cause it – when she’s been working late, and there have been sounds of a child crying in the council chamber, and footsteps of someone wearing heavy boots. “A society for the supernatural investigated and came up with very unusual readings, suggesting something strange was going on. “I’ve never seen or heard anything myself but after all these stories – I won’t rule out anything. “I suppose it’s a case of seeing is believing.” Admission to the museum has to be prebooked on 01273 291052.

Text alerts A new emergency SMS text service for hearing and speech impaired people has been launched by Sussex Police. The text number is designed to improve access to the emergency services for people unable to use a voice telephone. Those using the system just need to state if the service required is police, fire, ambulance or coastguard by typing the relevant word. They then type details of the nature of the emergency, along with the exact location, and send the message to 65999. The message is sent to Sussex Police Control and staff deal with the request on behalf of the emergency services. As soon as they receive the text, Police Control reply to confirm that they’ve received the message and might ask more questions. Chief Superintendent Chris Ambler of Sussex Police Communications Department said: “The new number means that hearing and speech impaired people will be able to alert the emergency services quickly and effectively, without having to face problems linked to more conventional methods. Sarah Playforth, assistant chief executive of the East Sussex Disability Association, said: “Communication is not only one of the most important issues for public authorities like the police, it is also one of the areas where barriers for the deaf and disabled are encountered, so this is a great innovation.” Developing the new emergency mobile phone text service and incorporating British Sign Language video clips on its website were among a number of innovations that helped earn Sussex Police a top award at the prestigious RADAR People of the Year Awards, which were held in December. The Force won the Disability Equality Scheme Award, which is given to a public body that has proven its commitment to implementing the disability equality duty. On 31 May the force will publish its new equality scheme, which brings together the existing disability, gender and race equality schemes and adds three further strands of diversity: age, faith and belief and sexual orientation.

Local A&E saved Hospitals in the Brighton and Hove area will not lose vital accident and emergency and surgical departments, health bosses have decided. The management board at Brighton and Hove Teaching Primary Care Trust (PCT) has voted to keep A&E open at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath. Residents of Brighton and Hove will continue to be given the option of choosing to go to the Princess Royal or to Worthing Hospital for planned surgery. These services had been placed under threat by the Fit for the Future proposals, drawn up jointly with West Sussex Primary Care Trust. Originally it was put forward that the Princess Royal should be downgraded
to a community hospital, with no A&E. West Sussex PCT also suggested that Worthing Hospital should lose its A&E. That idea has also now been dropped. Amanda Fadero, director of strategy for Brighton and Hove PCT, said the board’s decision reflected the results of local consultation. The vast majority of 640 people who responded did not want to lose services. Ms Fadero said: “Local people told us very clearly that they want to retain services at the Princess Royal Hospital, maintain planned care at Worthing and not overwhelm the Royal Sussex County Hospital with more patients than it could reasonably cope with.” She said the PCT would continue to listen to the views of the public. About 3,000 people a year travel from Brighton and Hove to Haywards Heath for planned surgery. The future of maternity services at the Princess Royal continues to hang in the balance, with West Sussex PCT deciding where in the county to site one consultant-led maternity service and two midwife-led services.

Open House with a difference New Steine Mews Hostel in Brighton is one of the more unusual Open Houses during this year’s Brighton Fringe Festival. The hostel, which supports homeless people, will be hosting a free exhibition of artwork by their clients and support staff during the weekends of May (17, 18, 24, 25), from 11am to 3pm. The ‘No House Open House’ at 1 New Steine Mews will showcase paintings and other work by people who, in some cases, have spent many years sleeping rough. As well as providing them with food and somewhere to live, New Steine hostel also hosts a ‘Lifeskills Programme’ of courses to help people get back on their feet again. The hostel is run by Brighton and Hove City Council.
“The programme aims to build people’s confidence and self esteem by introducing them to art” Part of the programme aims to build people’s confidence and self esteem by introducing them to art. Lindsey Hall, Lifeskills Coordinator said: “It is lovely to see how people who may not have done any art since they were at school gain confidence and really enjoy getting in touch with their creativity.” Councillor Mary Mears, chairman of Brighton and Hove’s Housing Committee, added: “The council is nationally recognised for its work in helping homeless people regain and learn new skills. “New Steine Hostel will be a showcase throughout May for the hidden talents brought out by the Lifeskills Programme, which plays an important part in supporting people on the road to independent living.” For more information on the exhibition and the artists’ Open Houses, contact Karen.leenders@brighton-hove.gov.uk or visit http://www.brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk

Students in Brighton produced some bloody and hard-hitting images to promote an anti-fur campaign. Everyone on the National Diploma Art and Design course at City College Brighton was encouraged to enter the Design Against Fur competition, organised by the anti-fur trade charity Respect for Animals. Their ideas were judged by a panel that included Andrew Audsley, assistant creative director of awardwinning design company Ziggurat Brands. The best four were selected to go forward as the official City College entries. One image showed a knife in a pool of blood, while another showed a woman walking away leaving a trail of bloody pawprints. Mr Audsley said: “What impressed me was what they managed to achieve in a limited time. They really got engaged with the brief and came up with some striking ideas which were even more impressive considering these are preuniversity level students.” Each year, the college’s design students are required to take part in a project that gives them an insight into the demands of the professional
No House Open House
world. Tutor Dan McCabe said: “The Design Against Fur poster campaign brief was exactly the design challenge the students needed. They responded fantastically well to this project and the four chosen students have produced concepts that will stand up well against entries from famous institutions such as St Martins and Falmouth. “Even though there will be tough competition, we feel that the National Diploma students are in with a great chance of recognition, and perhaps even winning.” The contest is open to design students from the fields of fashion, design, fine arts, advertising, marketing, graphic design and multimedia. Hundreds of students have submitted designs to convey the message that the wearing of fur is cruel and unnecessary.

Latest Sport Round ups and rumblings from the Latest Sports Bunker
Shop windows and scratching heads Peter Knight reviews the Albion’s season Time to Mika-mends? Comments from irate Mika fans continued to appear on our website (www.latest7.co.uk). Katie Glass upset the star’s online fan club by writing about how much she dislikes him because of his disdain for the press. Here are some more of the responses. He certainly won’t be everyone’s cup of tea (a fact he’s proud of!) and he’s very savvy to the world around him, which includes the media, but he is, as others have said, a lovely guy. I’ve spent time with him on several occasions during the past year, including working with him on a documentary and appearing in one of his videos. I have no idea how he manages to be so generous with his time and so warm and friendly with everyone he meets. The press seem to think that he’s either all sweetness and light or hiding a dark secret, like there’s not a real person who is just doing what he does (bloody fantastically!). Let’s face it, as much as the media have tried to put him down all year, he’s still managed to top polls all over the world, so I doubt it matters if you don’t like him or don’t want to write anything positive. He’s made it despite the press, not because of them. He will easily be able to turn his hand to whatever he chooses to do in the future because he is naturally gifted, focused and hardworking – a winning combo. Make no mistake, this boy’s here to stay! Thanks Katie, for the right of reply. Vixenbbw I have met Mika twice, and I know of other times he’s met with fans (all completely amazing stories). He is most likely the nicest, most genuine celebrity in these times. He was completely kind and genuinely sorry if he couldn’t pose for a picture with anyone. Anyways, maybe try putting yourself in his shoes. Sometimes you just don’t want to do something – big deal. Being a celebrity can probably get insanely irritating. Just because he doesn’t feel like talking or taking pictures with someone doesn’t mean he’s an idiot. Really, it’s just a picture/interview/whatever. And now you think he’s an idiot – nice judgement. You don’t know him and he doesn’t know you, so why should he agree to do everything someone asks. Just deal with it! FMW Conceited Wombat It’s sad you haven’t meet the Mika I met. He usually takes time for his fans and takes good care of them. All he claims he wants to do is make music; all the rest (media, awards shows, etc) doesn’t seem to please him much. Cassi Oh my god! Maybe Mika didn’t want to talk to the press because they always twist people’s words. Mika is so sweet, he loves his fans, even the stalker ones (says ‘Meeks’ in an interview). We all rock and he does too. He’s not antisocial or just doing it for fame. You’re a meanie and I wish I had met Mika – you were lucky to even see such a lovely guy. Devin I met Mika a few times and he has always been kind to me and respectful and considerate to his fans and very understanding of my learning difficulties. I have met a lot of stars and not all of them were as down to earth and loving to their fans as Mika. Punky

Well, there you go. Another Albion season wrapped up in typical fashion with points’ appeals, a disallowed goal, champagne flowing over the Withdean pitch as visitors Swansea got their hands on the League One trophy and already ten players and a manager out the door within days of the final whistle at the time of writing. Glasses rather than eyebrows were raised with the departure of some of the club’s old favourites: Gary Hart, Kerry Mayo and Guy Butters were all suspects for the chop, with Butters a dead cert for a defensive coaching role somewhere – not too far I hope. Thanks for the memories lads. But many more of you will still be scratching your heads from some of the more unexpected decisions from the Albion offices. Sacking Wilkins and bringing in Micky Adams? New contracts for largely untested youngsters? What about Hinshlewood or the highly praised Cobbs? And where have all our leftbacks gone? Some of the whispers doing the rounds offering speculative answers to these questions include everything from imminent takeover talk to the use of the newly promoted and newly connected Lewes FC as a ‘feeder’ or ‘reserve’ team for many of the former Albion youngsters now without a club. Speculations about the goings on behind the scenes will continue Kerry Mayo before thoughtout the summer without his testimonial game some clearer answers from chairman last August. Dick Knight et al.
“With such a clear out the summer certainly looks like an exciting period for new manager Adams” With such a clear out the summer certainly looks like an exciting period for new manager Adams at the start of his second spell at the club as manager. After gaining ‘legend status after lifting the club out of the old Division Three by winning the championship, there aren’t many who do not regard his appointment as a step forward. If Wilkins can be persuaded to stay on as head coach were his skills are in their element, the duo have the potential to win promotion next year. The heat is certainly on. At the start of the campaign back in August, play-off aspirations were optimistic, yet realistic. Even as we stumbled exhausted into April those promotion dreams came within reaching distance. Good passing football was on show and real goalscorers were scoring real good goals. With an almost total team shake-up in January that didn’t seem like part of the plan, the Albion were reborn and emerged to come so deservedly close to the post. Much of the praise has to go to Wilkins for performing well. We’re the ‘best of the rest’ with some top young talent that needs to stay no matter how much a big club offers. Falmer got the go ahead and now there’s just a £40million hole to fill (without selling anyone) and a promising, if not surprising, team base and managment to build on over the summer. Good luck to the youngsters offered new terms and to all those who have not. And finally, well done the Albion. You’ve raised the bar this season. Can you raise it again?

Team player Zara Friend takes a look at the benefits of outdoor team sports for personal development and wellbeing
latest
Now the weather’s reached a more realistic temperature, it’s time to exercise outdoors and take part in team sports. The gym membership is fine during the winter, with your iPod turned on and your mind switched off, but team sports played outdoors encourages mental and physical activity and promotes a better sense of wellbeing. The first main factor is being outdoors. According to research, the average person spends greater than 90 per cent of their time indoors (www.metaboliceffect.com). Our average day is spent dashing to and from the car between work before relaxing indoors to unwind. Children seem to prefer sitting in front of the television or playing a computer game than playing outside with friends, which makes it easier to understand the obesity worries in the UK and US. Compared to a few generations ago, sports and outdoor activities have taken a quick nosedive straight onto the unused playing field. Exercising outdoors, whatever our age is better than indoor workouts and especially no workout at all! We always hear the stories about too much sun being bad for us but what about too little sunlight? Vitamin D promoted sunlight helps prevent cancer, depression and reduce stress. The great outdoors is also packed with invisible negative ions. These have health promoting qualities including increased energy levels, enhanced mood, better sleep and alleviated allergies. Exercise releases serotonin in the brain which boosts our mood, but this is increased even more when the exercise is outdoors. So, no matter how much you don’t feel like doing it, remind yourself how good you will feel afterwards. Playing a team sport outdoors, whether it’s football, netball, basketball, hockey or rugby, our bodies are given more physical and mental stimulation. Being part of a team is hugely rewarding, making it not only beneficial to good physical health but also social skills and personal growth. When individuals’ start to think about their teammates, their own ego is put in check. After all, there is ‘no I in team’. While some may worry about the damaging psychological affects of someone not thinking they’re good enough, it is important to remember the support that comes from having teammates around. Everyone has weaknesses but you focus on each other’s strengths. Team work provokes competition which makes us work harder and move faster, making the exercise more worthwhile. Even playing in the freezing cold rain on a muddy field can make funny memories of a ‘bad’ experience.

Model city Sandra Omo recounts the experience of winning a major contest The joy of winning – whatever it may be – is unexplainable to someone who has never experienced it. If you have ever won anything, even as little as a penny, then you have an idea of what I am talking about right here. It is not the prize that brings the joy, although this does play a huge role, especially when there are opportunities in it as in my case right now. Rather, it is the fact that you have emerged the best in whatever it is you competed for. Is this not what life is all about: trying to be the best at work, school or home? After winning this competition, I reckon it is easier to be excited for a win you did not expect than for one you have always hoped for. It is not that I wasn’t happy when I was announced the Nigerian Model of the Year, it was rather a feeling of calm and ‘so I finally won’. I was so overwhelmed that I could not even speak. I remember a few drops of tears flowing down my cheeks as I returned backstage, but excitement was one thing I could not show that night. I guess when you have worked so hard for something you accept it with calm when you finally achieve it. Prior to winning, I thought we had a hard time in camp. I remember mentioning before that we barely had five hours sleep every night. Well, right now five hours is a luxury we cannot afford until further notice, I realise. Now the fun is reduced as we are no longer 30 but only the five winners left in the hotel. We are up and dressed for photo shoots as early as 6am each morning. Then come press conferences, TV and radio appearances, courtesy visits, and then at night, there is always a party somewhere held in honour of the new queens. Boy, I have had so many press conferences the past five days that I am beginning to hear my voice in my dreams. It is like I’m answering the same questions over and over again, although this is not true.
“I remember a few drops of tears flowing down my cheeks as I returned backstage” As for the parties, let’s not even go there. They are networking parties, not the everyday fun parties like we had while we were still in camp. By the time we return to the hotel, it’s always past midnight; do not forget we have to be up again for a photo shoot at dawn. It has been nothing but work, work, work. However, the joy of winning, as mentioned earlier, coupled with the opportunities associated with this win is enough to keep even the laziest person going. I am not even talking about the cash prizes as my greatest joy is the international competitions I am going for. I am looking forward to the Elite Model of the World competition late in the year, but prior to that I have the International Model of the Year competition in South Korea, then fashion shows and appearances. I dare say it’s worth the wait, the long journeys, the hard work and, of course, the sleepless nights. I know the journey will be sweeter from now on. Nevertheless, the work does not get easier because, in the business I’m in, the more success you have then the more is required from you. I am amazed that I’m already sighing when I have not even begun. It must be the ‘so I finally won’ feeling.

Bare cheek Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column We at Bare Cheek have recruited some hip new gunslingers – a quartet of scriveners we call:
THE FOUR REVIEWE S OF THE APOCALYPSR E
Mike Famine
Simon War
Tony Pestilence
Lucinda Death
These hard-hitting hacks will pull no punches with their fearless critiques of local events. Take it away Four Reviewers of the Apocalypse!
THEATRE
FOOD
By Mike Famine Night Must Fall by Emlyn Williams Theatre Royal
By Lucinda Death Hobo Brasserie, 192 Western Road
This hoary old thriller, first performed in 1935, starring such TV soap and sitcom stalwarts as Lesley Joseph, Will Mellor, and Jennifer Ellison was obviously designed to get bums on seats for a good old-fashioned night of theatrical fun – and it certainly succeeded! A great evening’s entertainment!
BOOKS By Tony Pestilence Four Bags of Dead Swans by Malcolm Adair Secker & Warburg £14.99 The enfant terrible of English letters seems hell bent on shocking the reader in this tome, with lengthy descriptions of murder, sex, murder, bestiality and cannibalism, and some might think Adair has gone too far upon discovering that the last 80 pages are merely the phrase “You are a ****” repeated over and over. Not me though. I loved it. A great evening’s entertainment!
Chef Django Thompson has worked under both Gordon Ramsay and Raymond Blanc, and has an enviable reputation. Unfortunately he was ill that night, so we had to eat Super Noodles with tinned beans and sausages from the mini-mart next door. At one point a madman barricaded himself in the restaurant and forced us all – at gunpoint – to eat our own excreta. I am writing this from hospital. I loved it! More please Django! A great evening’s entertainment!
MUSIC By Simon War Level 43 Joogleberry Playhouse I must confess that I’m absolutely astounded that anyone would bother to perform a tribute act to 80’s also-rans Level 42 – but I’m certainly glad they did! The hits just kept on coming as we danced along to singer Mark Queen’s ‘talking bass’. A great evening’s entertainment!

Tickets are available from the Dome box office on 01273 709709 or on www.brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk.

It’s time to put bad experiences behind you, no matter how traumatic. Turn the other cheek and take it firmly but with good grace. Wrong footing an adversary is such fun.
Recommending high-heeled shoes to a star sign that sidesteps everything was not a great idea and I apologise. Frozen peas make an excellent and malleable cold compress.
Being practical has a downside. Beware of sponging friends who will take advantage of your new-found skills. If buying tools then go for the best you can afford.
Older Capricorns need to be aware that younger upstarts could be coffin-chasers. En garde! Fend off those young pretenders. Cheques can be sent to me care of…

AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Having discovered a world of surprise you may become an uncontrollable loon. Fun for you but not such fun for work colleagues, friends or lovers. Take it easy at first.
Okay, so some of you have now discovered that delegation is in fact your unique selling point. Good if you can pull it off but beware, delegation is one step away from bone idleness.
Please do not dash off and take holy orders after last weeks nun reference. It was merely an example. There are however upsides to a monastic life: peace and quiet for one.
Air-headed Aquarians need to take time to get a firm grasp of reality. You’re not that special, just good at pretending – and Hair was only a musical, not a doctrine.
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
Clandestine affairs that may have arisen from last week’s advice should be firmly knocked on the head. Openplan offices are no place for illicit sexual liaisons.
Now is the time for putting things in order, silly advice for tidy old Virgos. I however am very untidy and in need of extra help, so Virgoan clean freaks are particularly welcome.
Do not be weak-willed when refusing the requests of friends. Remember that most people will read more than their own horoscope and use that information to their advantage.
My directive to let things slide was meant as a one-off option. Get up off your lazy behind and pull that fish finger out. If you do then maybe some fish and chips at Bardsley’s is OK.

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL
Outward bound
intimacy of a crowded carriage, the stranger asleep on your shoulder, the crush of personal space, the studied ignoring of our fellow humans and the tight fear of a dangerous stranger in the current climate of suspicion. Motionhouse bring Underground to The Ellipse on Sunday 18 May at 1pm, 3pm and 6pm.
It’s not all undercover at the Festival, get out and enjoy the events in the sunshine...
The Burst Pipe Dream
Brighton Festival is delighted to announce the addition of new shows to the fun, free outdoor programme. These new shows have been added with support from Without Walls which is a pioneering consortium of five of the UK’s most influential street arts festivals.
The Séance Sunday 18 May sees the old paddling pool near the West Pier come to life with two exciting events from Paschale Straiton and Wired Aerial Theatre. The Séance performed by Paschale Straiton is designed for an audience of 20 people and is set inside a brightly coloured tent with beaded curtains where Madame Narcosis leads a séance. It brings together an exceptional team of collaborating artists from companies including Company f/z, Stan’s Café, People Show, Forkbeard Fantasy and Spymonkey. The Séance takes place at the old paddling pool near the West Pier Sunday 18 May every 30mins from 12.30pm to 5pm.
Tango Experience the beauty and drama of the tango in an exciting new aerial dance piece Tango from Wired Aerial Theatre. Wired are a twostrong, core team of dynamic creators and performers plucked from the internally acclaimed De La Guarda aerial theatre company. Combining their skills of contemporary dance, physical theatre, gymnastics, climbing, flying and many years of performance experience they have spent the last five years travelling the world creating and performing aerial magic along their way. You
can even try a free tango class afterwards. This event is taking place at the old paddling pool near the West Pier on Sunday 18 May at 2pm and 5pm.
Underground Performed by four dancers within a rotating, rocking tubular structure. Underground uses stunningly physical dance, poignant imagery and surprising aerial encounters to explore the new reality of train travel: the compressed The Burst Pipe Dream
Notice that there is no more scaffold, no more builders, no more bulldozers in Jubilee square until… a leak, just a trickle, but definitely a leak. Of course you can’t be too careful, better safe than sorry. Just a few bollards, maybe a digger and a portakabin and the road is closed as the Bureau of Silly Ideas take over Jubilee Square from Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 May with The Burst Pipe Dream. To find out, kick up a fuss, or simply stand aghast at the sheer silliness of it all, make your way to Jubilee Square. Bring a hard hat, teabags, children, tap shoes, aqualung and a spanner – if you’ve got one for this work cocommissioned by Brighton Festival, Jubilee Square and the Winchester Hat Fair. A leak, with an installation running from Thursday to Friday at 12pm–6pm, and Sun 25 11.30am–4.30pm with performances Saturday at 2pm, 6pm and 9.30pm.
The Big Splash This years Big Splash kicks off in Celtic style in association with Festival of Fools, Belfast’s International Street Festival, with premieres and exclusives from the cream of British and Irish street art talent. Unleash your imagination and engage in your own artistic playground with Same Sky for Celtic Make & Take. Performers from Europe, South America and Australia bring you a tidal wave of free entertainment at this year's Big Splash. Brace yourself for two days of street art including comedy, mime and music, a disco machine, strange beings on silent scooters, a suitcase full of surprises, an amazing frog marionette and daring acrobatics. Sunday's entertainment is topped off with a sensational Firework Finale to see the Festival off in style! On Sunday 25 May The Big Splash will run from 1pm till dusk, with an evening show and fireworks at 8.30pm and street events continue 1pm–6pm on Monday 26 May.

COVERSTORY
Gypsy heat Fanfare Ciocarlia and Tcha Limberger’s Budapest Gypsy Orchestra bring their gypsy music to Brighton Festival on 17 May ‘Speed daemons’ Fanfare Ciocarlia began life as a village wedding band in the remote mountains of North East Romania. Today the 2006 winners of BBC Radio 3’s ‘World Music Award for Europe‘ are the most famous Gypsy band in the world, fuelling a global Balkan beats revolution with their dizzying brand of roaring Roma funk and high velocity Eastern European dance music. Steeped in tradition, yet absolutely contemporary, Fanfare have not only won over world music fans but also count rockers, ravers and jazz fans amongst their audience. The legend of Fanfare Ciocarlia begins in the ‘invisible‘ Gypsy village of Zece Prajini in North West Romania. For generations the village’s men farmed and made music, playing local weddings, funerals and festivals. In 1996 Henry Ernst, a German sound engineer, chanced upon Zeci Prajini’s musicians and, realising he had stumbled on hidden musical treasure, took the village orchestra to Berlin. An instant hit, Fanfare’s brass attack soon conquered Western Europe, North America, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Russia, Israel and – in 2006 - Romania. The band’s patriarch Ioan Ivancea died last October after a long illness, inspiring the band to record Queens and Kings, an album cut with legendary Gypsy musicians from across Europe. Blind Belgian violinist Tcha Limberger hails from a famous family of manouche musicians, steeped in the Gypsy jazz legacy of Django Reinhardt. Drawn to Hungarian music from an early age, Tcha spent three years studying its roots in Budapest. Now, with his hand-picked ensemble of Hungary's finest Gypsy players, he revisits the heartland of Budapest cafe culture. Plus DJs provided by Balkan Beats UK. Sat 17 May, 8pm, Concert Hall, Brighton Dome. Tickets £15, £18.50. Call 01273 709709 www.brightonfestival.org latest 7 21

STAGS&HENS
Staggering Tying the knot? Grab your friends, celebrate your stag or hen do in style and make it memorable Gone are the days of a night out the day before the wedding. Stag and hen dos are now celebrated in style with plenty of planning, making it almost seem like a mini wedding in itself. This is the chance to celebrate with your nearest and dearest, enjoying one last ‘lad’s night’ or ‘girly weekend.’ Of course, being married doesn’t mean the end of such nights, but it’s going to be different. So celebrate and do something memorable. The ‘L-plates and being tied to a lampost’ routine has been done to death and become a cliché, with many stag and hens trying to avoid this route. Nowadays it’s not just about one night out, but about days and even weekends spent away with friends, both in the UK and abroad as well. Hens love a long weekend on a Spanish beach, enjoying the nightlife, while Budapest and Prague are the choice destinations of many a stag, mainly down to the alcohol prices. If you do go away, plan it a month or so before the big day, so there’s time to celebrate with friends locally who can’t make the holiday. Weddings are expensive enough without factoring in stag and hen breaks. Hens – take a day out at a spa and pamper yourselves in luxurious surroundings. A day like this can be as expensive as you make it, from an entire weekend away at a country resort to a morning enjoying treatments locally. Indulge in a champagne picnic, dine at a fancy restaurant or take in a show or a slap-up meal with cabaret entertainment. Theme any clubbing nights out to a specific fancy dress to make it different to the normal Saturday clubbing scene. Stags – enjoy go-karting, try paintballing, bowling, a visit to a gentlemen’s club, a night of comedy or even indoor golf in Brighton! There’s lots on offer locally and even more beyond, so plan a weekend everyone can make, and brief the best man or bridesmaid on what you have in mind. Get them to work with your personality and preferred tastes, and if need be, just give them a gentle reminder. After all, it’s your day.
Treatment Rooms The Treatment Rooms, established since 1995, is the place to go for a group pamper session for the more discerning hen and stag; no wings or handcuffs allowed here! Treatments for men and women range from Eve Lom facials to Aromatherapy Associates body wraps. Prepare for the big day with a three hour ritual to de-stress and restore equilibrium to mind and body. There are ten treatment rooms, changing rooms and a relaxation room to chill out in after your treatment. A double massage room is also available. Bring your i-pod and listen to your own tunes while you’re cared for by some of the best therapists in Brighton. Treatments are available in London and Brighton. View the menu at www.thetreatmentrooms.com. 21 New Road, Brighton. Tel: 01273 818444 or email: info@thetreatmentrooms.com Open seven days a week and Bank Holidays.
Golf Addiction Since opening in December, people have been travelling from all over Sussex, the South Coast and London to try the new indoor golf facility at Brighton Marina. With 67 courses on each of the eight simulators, which can all be linked, Golf Addiction is the only place in the UK where up to 32 people can tee off together, at the same time, on the same course! And all in the club house! A full bar, casual dining and conference room for up to 42 people with fully interactive whiteboard and a VIP area make Golf Addiction a unique experience.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
On the Bayeux Andrew Kay finds porn in Bayeux and brilliant cuisine in the city of Caen
Our hotel was basic to the point of grim but as we were only sleeping there it mattered not. In the town centre there was a restaurant quarter with a wide range of choices, too many to make an easy decision. However, I had done some internet research in advance, and my top tip was a small restaurant called Le Petit B. Nearly every site proclaimed it the current hot spot, with locals fighting for places. We sat in a tabac sipping beers and cider and called to book. An hour later we arrived to find a pretty bistro, already buzzing with customers, fabulous waiting staff and a kitchen that I could see into.
A recent trip to Paris left me in despair at the state of French cuisine (read about that in Chez Kay this week), but a trip to Normandy at Easter was enough to bolster my belief in Gallic gastronomy. Marian, Jane and I took advantage of a very cheap crossing from Newhaven to Dieppe and motored down to Caen. Newhaven is a bit depressing as a port but everyone smiles because they are going on their hols. The crossing was not bad and nor was the brekkie. Why more of us do not take advantage is a mystery – it cost £93 for three of us including the car. Cheaper than a first class return to London on the train, and certainly classier.
‘‘Fondue; how seventies – how delicious. We dipped and dunked our way through a mountain of bread and apple till we could eat no more’’ The drive south was interrupted by spectacular views, a wonderful bridge and Jane telling us that we were in Calvados country. Caen itself is a sprawling place with a wide belt of industry around its historic centre, but once inside it has great charm. We also found an astounding food market on the Sunday. Am I the only person that comes back from trips abroad with potatoes?

The menu was a set price at 25 Euros, which even with the exchange rate being so dismally low seemed like a bargain. Two hours later it seemed like the bargain of a lifetime. I started with an amazing dish of braised squid with avocado on top. I could not work out what it might be from the menu but took a gamble and it paid off. Jane chose an assiette of duck which was simply one of the best first courses I have ever seen, and was frankly worth the full 25 Euros alone. It consisted of a stunning duck rillette, slices of smoked duck breast and a dish of duck foie gras with a caramel crust. Marian had a dish of langoustine which came perched on little shot glasses of lemony cream, very stylish. I then chose roast lamb shoulder which was equally stunning and Jane was with me on that one. Marian had the roast beef steak which came with caramelised shallots and garlic. It kept her reasonably quiet for once, apart from the moans and groans of delight as she gobbled slice after slice of tender and extremely lean beef. In fact it was so good that we immediately booked to go back two nights later, and yes, Marian had the beef again. On the second visit I had wonderful oxtail in aspic and finished with a pot of warm camembert served with fried bread and caramel sauce. Even the vegetables were good at Le Petit B and a meringue dessert was quite stunning. On our second night we went to a cheese restaurant, Maître Corbeau, where we indulged in a vast and bubbling vat of fondue. Fondue; how seventies, how Abigail’s Party – how delicious. We dipped and dunked our way through a mountain of bread and apple slices till we could eat no more, and I indulged in yet more delicious but pricey cider. Funnily enough, all our food seemed great value for money but drinks came in at a hefty price wherever we went. My final foody treat came in Bayeux. I fulfilled a longtime ambition to see the tapestry (I am that kind of age), and afterwards had a caramel ice cream with crystals of fleur du sel – wow, wow, wow. So poo poo to Paree and hip hip hoorah for Caen. By the bye, the Bayeux Tapestry is full of incidental obscene images which I certainly don’t remember seeing as a ten-year-old. those naughty Norman needlewomen had very dirty minds indeed.

RESTAURANTS BRITISH (ORGANIC) CONTEMPORARY Seasons Restaurant There’s a number of reasons to eat more local, seasonal food: To reduce energy (associated CO2 emissions) needed to grow and transport foods, to avoid paying premiums for foods that are imported, to support local economy and reconnect with nature's cycles, most importantly, because seasonal food is fresher and tends to be tastier and more nutritious. 1b Waterfront, Brighton Marina, BN2 5WA.

The Parlure Spiegeltent garden
With all the sunny weather we’ve been having (at least at time of writing) the picturesque beer garden at The Parlure spiegeltent has been proving a real hit. Sitting beneath the umbrellas at the picnic tables, surrounded by trees, daisies and birds, there’s only the rumble of traffic to remind you you’re in the middle of Brighton. It’s very easy to while away an afternoon there, in the presence of the magnificent structure of wood and stained glass that is The Spiegeltent. They have certainly got their priorities right, with two bars (one inside the Spiegel and a marquee in the garden) fully stocked with a wide range of beers, ciders, wine, spirits and juices at pub prices. There is also the Ooh La La Café where the lovely Connie serves up yummy home made vegetable samosas, sandwiches and soups at lunchtimes, and a charcoal bbq of gourmet sausages and burgers most evenings. But don’t let all that good stuff distract you from the shows, because there is plenty of great entertainment on offer. Catch one of the last shows for Movin’ Melvin, tap dance and soul singer extraordinaire, on Tuesday and Wednesday. Snap up a ticket for a music performance (Mountain Firework Company, Seth Lakeman, Fat 45s or Kitty, Daisy & Lewis anyone?). Get yourself down to the brilliant new, never-seen-in-Brighton-before musical The Marilyn Monroe Show (Monday 19 to Sunday 25 May). Snaffle a seat for Ragroof Theatre’s evocative set piece ‘Shall We Dance’. Take the family along to the fantastic Flabbergast, with a three date bank holiday weekend run from Merlin’s Cabaret Interstellar, featuring aerial, juggling, dance, clowning, acrobatics and the hula hooping skills of Marawa The Amazing. Or bag yourself a table for the Latest 7 Awards on Saturday 26 May with performances from festival and fringe favourites, and a live band and knees up at the end. It’s great to have the Spiegeltent back in Brighton, so make sure you take advantage of the wonderful setting and atmosphere that The Parlure has brought to town.

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of Festival reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk
Angus & Julia Stone
Angus & Julia Stone Given the sublimely elegant way that the siblings Stone have crept onto the musical radar, their live performance is one born of passion and a visible delight in entertaining their audience. The lavish Hanbury ballrooms befits their worldly wise jaunts which consistently build to something greater than the sum of their parts. A Book Like This, their recent full length debut is given a rich, comprehensive and alive workout. A triumphant return. Hanbury Ballroom, May 1 ✌✌✌✌
Joanna Neary: Finishing School Highly entertaining character comedienne Joanna Neary delivers a series of sketch-like monologues, aided by a variety of increasingly bizarre costumes. Punctuating her skits with a selection of anecdotes about her life, Neary was an instantly endearing performer. Charming and witty, inventive and oddball, her show was peppered with clever jokes, with brilliant, enthusiastic delivery throughout. Worth seeing for her Bjork impression alone. Upstairs at the Three and Ten, 10 April ✌✌✌✌ James Hamilton
Häxan Häxan – Witchcraft Through The Ages was released in 1922 and banned Europe wide due to its depiction of grave-robbing, possessed nuns. It was shockingly innovative in its time and the special effects still have impact today. The original score played on the hammered dulcimer provided an eerie, haunting soundtrack to the persecution of women, specifically the poor, the elderly and the mentally ill. Komedia, 30 April ✌✌✌
Open House 28 York Place The Open House season kicked off with a rousing bang down at York Place; as the ‘Study from Chesil Beach‘ well-established artists workspace – Patrick O’Donnell opened their studio doors for a successful launch party. Over 100 people turned up to see the artists places of work, their latest pieces and meet the artists: Patrick O’Donnell, Zwang Dawei, Martin Farrow, Hannah Libby, Wolfram Lohr, Karen McPherson, Jackie Raybone and Joan Thompson. The standard of work on display was very high, with all artists reporting excellent feedback and sales from the night. 28 York Place, 3 May ✌✌✌✌
The Orb I heard rumours that the granddaddies of ambient music had swapped their rolling chilled out beats for a minimalist electro glitch of all things techno. Fortunately, I was taken back to the halcyon days and reminded why The Orb are the lords of musical journeys. The tour – The Dream proves that founding member Alex Paterson and his original music is still progressive – 20 years on. Their Afro dub beat pulsed and bubbled, only interrupted by the screechingly good ‘Loving You’ and the unmistakable voice of Rickie Lee Jones recalling ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’. Orblivion at its best. Concorde 2, 2 May ✌✌✌✌

HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Eilen Jewel Walking towards The Albert on a clear, mild April night the sounds of Eilen Jewel and band came out crystal clear – you could even see the band on stage from a certain vantage point across the road. But a pint and a better look was an unrefusable option. Jewel and her black denim shirted band (white stitches of course) ran through a long set of bouncy rockabilly numbers mixed in with a few choice country ballads; originals mixed with covers by the likes of Loretta Lynn, George Jones and Charlie Rich. With a wonderfully controlled voice, an easy-going stage manner and a collection of short but sweet songs, expertly played, Jewel cowed the packed house into reverential silence punctuated by whoops of joy and sustained applause at the end of each song. A star in the making.
Modern Toss , see page 33
Tom McRae & the Hotel Café Tour Tom McRae hosts unknown American singer-songwriters to trick the public into hearing new music. Cunning. McRae’s excellent, though highpoints are few. Nothing’s wrong with Catherine Feeney’s delicate country or Tom McRae Greg Laswell’s Rufus Wainwright-ish balladry, but nothing’s that right. Honky-tonk-er Bryan Wright’s one strong tune is soon forgotten. Only ballsy, Tom Waitsy galoot Jim Bianco and show-stealing Gene frontman Martin Rossiter leave a mark. The chummy line-up have fun; shame it doesn’t translate to the promised barnstorming festival vibe. Concorde 2, April 29 ✌✌✌ Nick Aldwinckle

Choir boys The London Gay Men’s Chorus grows up Founded in 1991, the London Gay Men’s Chorus is Europe’s largest and best known gay chorus. With over 200 members it has performed across the UK and toured extensively overseas with a repertoire ranging from classical to jazz, R’n’B to show-tunes. The LGMC has worked with stars including Sir Elton John, Simon Callow and The Pet Shop Boys and made numerous TV and radio appearances including Top of the Pops, So Graham Norton and Comic Relief. As well as performances at Pride, the Gay Games in Sydney and the Settembre Musica festival in Turin, the chorus has released nine CDs and raised thousands of pounds over the years for a broad range of charities. In 2007 the chorus performed its Bad Boys show to venues in
Fine & Dandy Brighton-based choreographer Dandy Diwangkara’s dream Brighton-based choreographer Dandy Diwangkara’s dream of establishing a contemporary touring dance company in the city is a step closer to reality. His company, Fine & Dandy Dance, is to perform in the Brighton Fringe Festival on 14 May at the Old Market in a programme called Dance Mosaic. It will be a prelude to permanently establishing the company in Brighton, where he has lived for the last eight years after moving to the city from his native Indonesia. Trained at the world famous Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, Diwangkara’s first professional outing as a choreographer last year was hailed as the best contemporary debut of 2007 in the influential magazine, Dance Europe. Commenting, Dandy Diwangkara said: “I am thrilled to be performing in the city and where my journey in dance first started. I am determined to make this fringe performance the first of many in the city that has given me so much.”
London, Glasgow and Edinburgh, before selling out the London Palladium with Accentuate The Positive, in aid of the Terrence Higgins Trust. Fresh from its sell out London Palladium show, Europe’s largest and best known gay chorus comes to Brighton with a spectacular show about the journey we all take from child to adulthood. Songs of Innocence and Experience is an entertaining, moving adventure in song including works by Aaron Copland, Ludwig Van Beethoven and Stephen Sondheim, and songs made famous by Kate Bush, the Doors, Frank Sinatra and Edith Piaf. With the unique sound of 120 gay men in full voice, the show looks at how experience alters our perception of love, friendship and relationships. Both contemporary and classical, the show speaks to the adult and the child in us all and reflects the London Gay Men’s Chorus at its very best. The LGMC takes the show to Brighton’s Theatre Royal on Sunday the 15 June. Tickets are on sale now; phone the theatre box office on 08700 606 650.
Apart from the founder’s own pieces, including a premiere, Fine & Dandy Dance follows the Rambert tradition by giving other young choreographers a platform. The other choreographers to feature in the Dance Mosaic programme will be Regina Wielingen, originally from the Netherlands; Georgiana Cavendish from the UK and Symeon Kyriakopoulos who is from Greece. There are two performances of Dance Mosaic at 7.45 pm and a matinee performance at 3pm. Tickets costing £12.50, £10 and £7.50 (matinee only) may be obtained from the Old Market box office, 01273 736222 (www.theoldmarket.co.uk) or the Fringe box office on 01273 709709 (www.brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk).

Life’s a drag An extraordinary case of crossdressing from Theatre North A powerful new piece of gay theatre is about to premiere at the Brighton Fringe Festival. Yorkshire theatre company Theatre North have commissioned writer and director Martin Lewton to pen Lord Arthur’s Bed celebrating an extraordinary and little known chapter in gay history seen through the eyes of two young men. It is 2008 and city slickers Donald and Jim are toasting their civil partnership. Moving in to a new house they make a discovery that takes them back to 1868 and the lives of wealthy young cross dressers Ernest (Stella), son of a stockbroker and Fred (Fanny) son of a judge. Stella is celebrating her ‘marriage’ to Lord Arthur Clinton, Tory MP and son of the Duke of Newcastle, and her life with him as Lady Stella Clinton. Alerted to this outrageous behaviour by men of the upper class, the police are watching their many excursions out in full drag. Fanny and Stella are arrested in the ladies rest room at the Strand Theatre, and so begins a farcical trial to rival that of Oscar Wilde, 25 years later. Played out before the Lord Chief Justice at Westminster Hall, the charge is ‘committing a felony’ (sodomy) and a hilarious parade of witnesses is called. The laughter in court is offset by the pain of the ‘men in petticoats’ imprisonment and the forced denial of their sexuality. The play includes excerpts from the transcript of the trial: “When the language of passionate love is addressed by a man to another man it becomes the language of lust”. As Donald and Jim come to terms with the story they have unearthed they are forced to confront uncomfortable truths of their own which threaten to wreck their new life together. What begins as a piece of history becomes all too relevant to the lives of gay men today. Martin Lewton is excited by the prospect of bringing this story to light and at the issues of the visibility of gay men, and the guilt which many still feel which it throws up. Not to mention going about in drag. By its nature the play is sexually explicit and contains nudity. Theatre North is gaining a reputation for powerful productions. The British Theatre Guide described the acting in Blasted as “utterly convincing”. Martin adds “Our last show pulled no punches, which gave it much impact and we aim that this will be an evening that no one will forget, we are especially looking forward to opening in Brighton with its large gay community and vibrant artistic life”. Friends Meeting House, Brighton 14–16 May 7.30pm Tickets £8 (£6) concs 01273 709709 www.brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk Contains nudity, strong language and themes of an adult nature. Age 16+

XXY (15) Director: Lucia Puenzo Based on the short story Cinismo by Sergio Bizzio this directorial debut from Puenzo is a rare Argentine treat. The story follows troubled 15year-old Alex living with her father by the sea in Uruguay. Alex lives a secular life hidden away from the world. The reason being, as so
knowingly hinted in the title, that she was born a hermaphrodite. The story follows the family as they deal with doctors, love, loss and friendship. A superb film with an excellent cast and a climax that will confuse and beguile in equal measure. Showing at Duke of York’s Craig Driver

Nim’s Island (U)
Dir: Jennifer Flackett/Mark Levin Jodie Foster returns in this familyfriendly adventure as an agoraphobic children’s author. Foster plays the author of the Alex Rover novels who receives an email from an avid fan in desperate need of help who mistakes her for the hero of her novels. With the help of an imaginary apparition of her character, played by Gerard Butler fresh from his 300 toga antics, Foster sets off to Nim’s Island to save the day. Many comic mishaps ensue and loveable and furry creatures get cuddles. This is standard kiddies’ fare but since when has that ever really been a problem. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld
No Country For Old Men (15)
Dir: Joel and Ethan Coen This Oscar-winning thriller finds the Cohen brothers reach a new level of pathos. Violence and mayhem ensue after a local man (played brilliantly by Josh Brolin) stumbles upon a gang shootout in the desert, a stash of heroin and more than $2million in the Rio Grande. Oscar-winner Javier Bardem plays the psychopathic hit man on the hunt for the stolen money. With the
best haircut in cinema since Debbie Harry in Hairspray this is Bardem’s film, and with every menacing minute he and the film extend its captivating grip on the audience. Showing at Odeon
Speed Racer (PG)
Dir: Andy and Larry Wachowski This big-budget no-brainer from the Wachowski brothers is a Hollywood adaptation of the Japanese animated series Mach GoGoGo otherwise know as cult anime Speed Racer. Following on from the Matrix trilogy and all its bloated silliness this isn’t much of a departure but it is aimed primarily at the youth market. The wispy-thin plot follows Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) as he struggles to win The Crucible race and battle the evil Royalton Industries. Christina Ricci co-stars as does John Goodman in this very silly, very long, full-on CGI mishap. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
What Happens In Vegas (12A)
Dir: Tom Vaughan Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher star as the goofy couple accidentally getting hitched after a drunken night in Vegas. The comedy – just calling it a comedy makes me wince – comes from the couple deciding to divorce after they win a $3million casino prize. Kutcher is achingly inept while Diaz reminds us all what it means to be mediocre. This is a terrible film with a terrible cast and a suitably morose and clichéd premise.

FILM
Brand new Dan Higgins talks to Russell Brand about Forgetting Sarah Marshall and his new found fame stateside Did you work out for the film? I tried to get a bit more fit, the script justified nipples. Would you have played Jason Segal’s role? With the willy out? Yeah. If people wanted to see it. Do you marvel at his confidence? Well there was a technique employed before the revelation. I did that…I was well into the fluffing. How much of the role is you? Well it’s similar, in a way, to me because of things like “ooh, I’m an alcoholic” and “ooh, I like to have it off”. You tend to get people similar to the roles you want them to play. How much licence did you have over your own dialogue? Loads! They let me ad-lib. Like the bit where Sarah is having a go at me and and I went “Yeah, well I f*cked the housekeeper”. Does stand-up make you fearless when it comes to other things? It provides a good schooling. I was very nervous on the first day of filming. Then I thought “God, you’ve done harder things than this , you’ve performed before the Queen of England dammit!” Princess Michael of Kent was one of the extras but I thought, “she hardly counts”.
How different was the original script when it came to you? Vastly. For example, the bit with the flip flop the first time I come on. I thought that it’d be really good if when he’s meeting the ex-boyfriend, a situation that would embarrass most people, he’s not at all bothered…he’s just thinking about his shoe. Do you think your character a nice guy? I think he’s lovely. There are similarities between me and the character like we have the same face and voice but there is also a clear distinction in his personality. He has a very different idea of attachment. Me, I’m a jealous person. I already consider all the women present in this hotel to be my personal possessions . Whereas he doesn’t give a monkeys about nothing. I really like that trait in people. Do some people not quite get you in Hollywood? No, they properly get me. The way I dress has resonance with… [receives tea – “Oh thank you, my God I’m like Judy Garland. My pills…thank you”] …the cultural uniform and England’s exports of the 60s: The Dickensian manner of my vernacular is also appealing. Do you still plan to work in Britain? Yeah, I love this country, my cat lives here and I don’t think he’d move. I don’t think he cares as much about me as he does the garden in truth. Did it help that you weren’t well-known? They didn’t know me at all so when I came into the audition dressed preposterously; they thought I was a mentally ill person . Do you have a lady in your life? No, I’m a single gentleman. It’s more in keeping with my lifestyle. Is that measured in hours or weeks? Haha, “I’m currently single, I had a wonderful girlfriend about five minutes ago. I don’t know where she is anymore. She doesn’t seem interested since I kicked her handbag out the window.”
Also showing… A quick look at this week’s releases Forgetting Sarah Marshall (15) Dir: Nicholas Stoller The latest in this year’s bunch of films produced by Knocked Up/Superbad man Judd Apatow is a lighthearted comedy turning its producer’s usual trick of blending chick-flick and gross-out. Jason Segel plays the heartbroken Peter, who is dumped by his titular TV star girlfriend (played by Kristen Bell) and decides to go on holiday to Miami to get over her. Unfortunately for him, by chance, Sarah and her new boyfriend, played by Blighty’s own Russell Brand, turn up on a holiday of their own. With cameo appearances by Apatow regular Jonah Hill, gross-out jobber Paul Rudd and Family Guy’s Meg (Mila Kunis), it’s a strong comedy cast with decent turns from the leads. A now notorious naked break-up scene and the promise of a nice mix of low brow and high brow comedy ensures this should be another interesting step on the career path of Brand, Segel and Apatow. Showing at Cineworld Happy-Go-Lucky (15) Dir: Mike Leigh It’s been a while (four years) since Mike Leigh’s last cinematic outing, and maybe the break’s
cheered him up a little. Lightening the tone after a career that has included the unrelentingly grim Naked and acclaimed abortion drama Vera Drake, Happy-Go-Lucky follows easy-going primary teacher Poppy’s daily life. Played by Fingersmith’s Sally Hawkins, after her bike is stolen, Poppy takes up driving lessons, then flamenco, smiling all the way. Almost uncharacteristically upbeat, if early reviews are anything to go by, this should further confirm Leigh as one of Britain’s best living directors. Showing at Worthing In Bruges (18) Dir: Martin McDonagh Colin Farrell makes a welcome return after a while away from the big screen with this interesting take on the guns, swearing and posh boys acting tough Brit gangster film. Farrell plays an Irish hitman exiled to Bruges to lay low with his partner, played by Brendan Gleeson. Ralph Fiennes plays against character as the Essex crime boss dealing with our unlikely heroes. Boasting great performances from the three leads, tongue in cheek Bruges set-pieces and a sub-plot involving bad behaved little people, this looks to be an
enjoyably silly variation on the buddy movie, albeit with loads of inventive swearing and bad taste humour. Go feckin’ see it. Showing at Cineworld Iron Man (12A) Dir: Jon Favreau Iron Man is one of the less likeable superheroes. Let’s face it: an arrogant, billionaire weapons developer was never going to be as charming as geeky kid Peter Parker. Still, it’s exactly this anti-hero appeal that makes Iron Man such a fascinating choice for a blockbuster. Adding to the ‘interesting’ factor is edgy thesp Robert Downey Jr playing the billionaire in question, Tony Stark, and Swingers/Friends star turned rom-com director Jon Favreau helming the production. Downey Jr’s businessman is nearly offed in Afghanistan by his rival. Forced to use his scientific genius to both stay alive and escape from his captors, he creates a special metal suit of electronic armour and Iron Man is born. Co-starring Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow, the first blockbuster of the summer lands the first blow. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Joy Division (15) Dir: Grant Gee First released last year whilst Anton Corbijn’s Ian Curtis biopic Control was garnering heavy acclaim, awards and big commercial success,
Joy Division
you’d be forgiven for overlooking this nonfiction account of one of the most influential British bands of the late seventies. A fascinating companion piece to the fictionalised version of Joy Division’s story, Gee’s film uses actual footage and real-life accounts from close associates of the band. The film’s title would suggest this is more than just the Ian Curtis show, though, and should be an unbiased look at Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris’s work. Showing at Duke of York’s Nick Aldwinckle

He’s been in Brighton spreading the message about caring for the environment, recycling and the importance of teamwork. He’s also preparing for his live stage show at the Brighton Centre early next month (See our special giveaway below for your chance to win family tickets!). Bob spent a busy April visiting local schools to see what youngsters have been doing for the environment. At Hertford Junior School, Bob met two young committee members of the school’s Eco Club. They were proud to show Bob how active they are in recycling their waste material. The popular builder and television star was very impressed with their work and went to a classroom to meet more youngsters. A warm sunny afternoon was spent at Balfour Infants’ School where Bob contributed to the successful tree planting exercise. All the children, teachers and even some parents took part in creating a brighter, greener future by digging a hole for a Crab Apple tree! Bob could not leave Brighton without visiting Hollingdean Depot and having his picture taken with his older fans that look after the city’s recycling collection. His last call was a special guest appearance at the Young Brighton and Hove Environmentalist of The Year 2008. Fans were surprised and delighted to see Bob outside the Old Market wishing them all luck with his signature thumbs up sign! A fun and well accomplished trip for children’s most popular builder.

Modern Toss In this day and age, rude and sometimes obnoxious words are bandied about like the veritable confetti, and I worry that the censors may take exception to such words as ‘toss’ and ‘shit-naks’, words that suggest, the immortal genre, ‘school of infantilism’, of that classic Hancock film The Rebel. And so, Modern Toss, sits comfortably within the current zeitgeist of Is it Me, or is Everything Just Shit?, a book that is selling like hotcakes. Creators Mick Bunnage and Jon Link developed the simple idea of people doing jobs reluctantly as the basis for their cult comic, boiling the essence of overheard arguments into three words and a primitive drawing. Often very funny, their outlook is ‘cheerfully abusive’, and ink_d are proud to be hosting their first ever exhibition. Modern Toss, Museum of Shit-Naks, Ink_d Gallery, 96 North Road, until 31 May

STAND-UP COMEDY&BOOKS
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle stands up for our festival against that other one up in Scotland, we rock, so there! By this point i.e. week two of the mania that is festival and fringe month, you will be skint and wanting more shows to devour faster than a bulimic in a cake shop. Fear not. There is an answer. Throughout the month of May we hear folks from out of Brighton wandering around the Udderbelly pasture muttering about which shows they’ve seen, want to see and imagine they’ve seen, but also constantly comparing our wonderful arts celebration with the one every year in Edinburgh. It’s not as big as in Edinburgh. It’s not as manic as in Edinburgh. It’s not as easy to get lost in as Edinburgh. It gets a bit sickening that they don’t just sit back and appreciate the joy that’s here in Brighton. However, the one thing we can really come up trumps with when being compared to Edinburgh is the quality of our free shows. Up at the Scottish Festival (as it shall be known) it’s a mecca to all and creative sundry with the finance and the travel arrangements in place. The free festival is where people are trying out new bits and pieces and where they haven’t quite made it enough to charge an entry price in an area that last year had more performers than punters turning up. We have oodles of free shows, and what’s more – they’re all rather good.
“We really are getting all of the best bits without quite having to deal with the mega invasion” Whatever whets your whistle, whether it be Hip Hop Comedy at Heist, Brighton Homegrown Comedy at The Foundry, or Free Radicals at Bar Rogue, it’s easy to wander around and catch yourself a giggle. Gratis. Free. Without charge. Which is something we didn’t have last year – see how grown-up our festival is getting? Also, we’ve got more late night entertainment than last year. As well as Cheeky Devil Late Night Festival Specials at Upstairs at Three & Ten, the cow has taken the hint over at the Udderbelly with Late Night Cowmedy, both taking your laughter through until 12.30am. Feel sorry for the acts though – staying up just to keep you happy. Maybe offer them a drink once they come off stage. They like that, you know. We really are getting all of the best bits without quite having to deal with the mega invasion Edinburgh gets for a whole month just yet. Just have a skim through the programmes and you’ll see it overflowing with talent. Actually you probably saw that last week, which is why you’re broke now. Isn’t it good to have this fabulous price of ‘free’? If only everything cost that much.
☺
Stand-up wisdom: “I was fed up with disposable income, so I moved to London.” Dan Atkinson
LIVE COMEDY PICK OF THE WEEK
Rob Deering – Charmageddon Rob Deering has a charm offensive. He’s funny, he’s musical, he’s not offensive – so as to not alienate some people and relate to others – he’s a very nice chap. Which is how he’s ended up nominated for awards left right and centre for both his comedy and his compering. He’s really rather good. This is handy as he’s playing at the Udder Place, which has a reputation of its own for housing quality comedy. If anyone caught him compering the So You Think Your Funny semifinals with a few of our local up-and-comings last year you’ll already know the guaranteed treat he provides, but if not it’ll be a happy surprise. Saturday 17 May, 8.15pm, £12/10, Udder Place

Write club John Davies looks at the latest work of local poet, Moss Rich, who he rates as worthy of hero worship In a bright yellow pastiche of a Faber cover, Hove poet Moss Rich has recently published a new collection through Scribblersinn (www.scribblersinn.org). If you haven’t come across Moss’s work before take a look. He’s an inventive, wry, witty and very human poet of everyday experience. This new collection, Good Morning Sunshine, is veined by several different moods and themes. Moss is getting on a bit, so it’s not unexpected that he writes about what it’s like to be old. But he also plumbs what it’s like to be a man and what it’s like to be loved. His refreshing, bright intelligence sees clearly. “New man, old man My views are pitiable – no sparkle. And entirely patriarchal. Stale, judgemental and outdated And heavily opinionated“ This poetic persona is the normative ‘middeclass heterosexual male’. but Moss finds him a curious beast, cunning in its quest to mate: “Old Man – New Man – what’s in a name! What the other bloke’s got, I got the same“ The voice has echoes of the seaside postcard humour of Donald McGill or Max Miller, the Cheeky Chappie. Moss’ coarse humour punctures humbug and reminds us of our common humanity. Sexual stimulation is never far away. Moss lives in a world of ‘sauce and grace’ where black lace stockings are de rigeur. He even falls in love with his ophthalmologist: “She looks deep, deep into my eyes To find the cause of blurs. She looks through looking scopes so I can’t look deep into hers“ There’s great compassion in a poem about a woman trapped in a desolate love triangle. Loss of love and lack of love are a constant concern. “He lives – this thinking man – in urban taste His house is warm and bright, good doors, safe locks, His heart has fled the house. Like a dropout It lives in a cardboard box“ Technically, Moss is a highly competent poet. I’m adding Moss to my list of heroes. Moss is also pretty much blind and deaf. He now writes his poetry like a latterday Milton, composing all in his head and memory before committing it to his recorder. Not bad for 97!

NEWS End of the Road Now that every Tom, Dick and Harry festival seems to be offering a place for an unsigned band via a competition, the End of the Road festival have also caught the bug. They have come up with the idea of ‘Most Musical City’, which pits ten cities from around the country against each other via a public vote. Bands can register via www.mostmusicalcity.co.uk. Brighton is of course one of the ten, pitted against the likes of heavyweights such as Birmingham, London, Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol, Leicester, Manchester and, er, Colchester. Public voting will continue until 30 May. www.mostmusicalcity.co.uk www.endoftheroadfestival.com
Glastonbury coaches
The Fratellis Since being one of The Great Escape 2006’s breakthrough acts, Glasgow’s finest, The Fratellis, make their debauched return as headliners this year So, are you looking forward to the weekend? Baz Fratelli: The original film was great but the video games weren’t as good. Which bands are you looking forward to seeing at the Great Escape? BF: It’s got to be The Go! Team really. What are your favourite Brighton memories? BF: We were playing at the Concorde and I got hit with an onion bhaji from someone in the crowd. That was a great gig and a mental crowd.
How does the new record sound in comparison to Costello Sounds? BF: Well, it’s going to sound better than the first one. Your first record seemed to be about all the classic rock stuff: sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Is the new album concerned with similar stuff ? BF: I don’t know, ‘cos I don’t write the lyrics! Ask Jon about that! The first record’s a bit ‘Confessions of a Window Cleaner‘. Are you like this in real life? BF: No, not at all. We’re more like the characters from Confessions of a Pop Performer. Something on your website: “Barry was a car thief.” Is this true? BF: I’ve only done it when I didn’t have any bus fare left. Any new bands coming through from Glasgow you can give us a heads-up on? BF: This indie band, Figure 5. They’re playing the Great Escape too. The Balladeers are good as well, and The Sea Kings.
Brighton Peace and Environment centre is offering their usual direct coach service to Glastonbury, this year teaming up with The Big Lemon to offer services with low emissions or fuelled by 100 per cent locally sourced, recycled vegetable oil! There are a variety of outward and inward journeys. www.bpec.org/glastonbury
Beat Express Local band Beat Express will be releasing their debut album at a launch party on 19 May at The Old Market, with the backing of Carousel, the Brighton-based organisation that specialises in working with people with learning disabilities in the creative arts. Three of the five band members have learning disabilities, and the band have already performed regularly at venues such as Komedia, as well as running outreach workshops and an OCN accredited music training course. Their album is called Rockstars, and is an impressive collection of honest, catchy songs, but also a statement of celebration. Beat Express, The Old Market, Monday 19 May. www.myspace.com/beatexpress
The Ting Tings From the unlikely origins of forming pop girlband TKO, Ting Tings singer Katie White’s new disco-loving indie outfit have a distinctly more credible feel Who are you hoping to see this weekend? Ting Tings: Crystal Castles as we’ve heard a lot about them and like their image. Also Pete & the Pirates as i’ve heard they’re really good live. What’s your opinion of Brighton’s music scene? TT: You can always rely on Brighton for a good gig. No Brighton band springs to mind but we’re enjoying Nick Cave’s album. He lives here, right? How’s the tour been going? TT: Amazing, though we’re seeing cities from cab and plane windows, which is a bummer. How was playing the SXSW festival in Texas? TT: Hot and tiring. We played three shows a day in boiling temperatures. Katie even fainted! We didn’t see many cowboy hats though!
If you would like your event listed please email listings@thelatest.co.uk
How has the major label experience been? TT: We have 100 per cent creative control so it’s less complicated than others and the people we work with understand. Did TKO really support Atomic Kitten? Katie: Firstly, we didn’t support them. Me and two school friends started our first band at 14 and played a local festival where Atomic Kitten played. We managed to play before 5ive once! Are The Ting Tings manufactured? TT: Before our deal we put out two handmade singles, toured, produced our own album and slogged it like the rest. You can make good pop and it not be manufactured. This is 100 per cent DIY, i’m afraid. The Great Escape, 15–17 May

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases If emotive is your scene, look no further than Martha Wainwright’s second album, I Know You’re Married But I’ve Got Feelings Too, a title that says it all really. Once again, she lets it all out via a collection of gorgeously crafted songs, mostly acoustic-based. Portishead’s time came and went with the classic Dummy back in 1994 – their second album has largely been confined to the footnotes of musical history. But it has been a blessing that more than ten years have elapsed, and the mystery and mystique and otherworldliness of Gibbons, Barlow and Uttley has been magnified. A lot of musical water has passed under their collective bridges, but there is something comforting and familiar about their ‘comeback’. Fearing the worst, it turns out to be an enormous relief that they’ve pulled it off; effortessly combining avant-garde cool, production warmth and angst ridden soul. Third is up there with Dummy. Cult hero Jason Ringenberg has recently been branching out into children’s music territory, and his live show is apparently proving to be a big hit. For the more mature amongst us, Best Tracks and Side Tracks 19792007 collects some of his finer moments, some re-recorded and/or remixed, plus a selection of rarities and outakes. If you can get past the nasal whine, Ringenberg offers some of the finest comic country-roots and twangified rock cuts of the last two decades. On the Brighton front, The Scarlet Street Resistance release debut single, the very catchy and heavily produced electro dance popper ‘Nasty Thoughts’. SSR are a fictionalised outfit based on old school film noir, with protagonists Scarlet and Mr. Jones. Expect their debut album later in the year. David Berman and his band of Silver Jews have been around for nearly two decades now. The years have seen them move further and further away from their noisy Stephen Malkmus roots and more toward their current Nashville country incarnation. This hasn’t decreased the music’s consistently high standard though – seventh record Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea is a lushly produced lesson in bittersweet guitar twangs, mournful orchestration and sarcastic lyrical bite. Another Deep South offering next, and Texas band Shearwater’s latest album, Rook, is vastly different to the Jews’ energetic country trot; more akin to the lavish dirges of Tindersticks or theatrical suffering of androgynous chanteuse Antony Hegarty. Beautiful desolation soars to brass-led death throe as the dark heart of the South is exposed in an incredibly powerful way.

She should Coco She’s one hell of a guy. Paul Disney caught up with Coco Peru before her performance at the Komedia as part of the Brighton Festival Fringe Describe yourself. For those of you that don’t know me, I’m so sorry for you. I grew up in the Bronx and began my illustrious career as a drag queen/monologist/world saviour in the cabaret clubs of NYC, where I quickly became a downtown cult figure. A few years later I shot to lowend celebrity status with my performance in the film Trick. Some people say that my performance stole the film, but honestly, I’d have to say: they’re right. I then moved to LA where I’ve made appearances in TV shows such as Will and Grace and Arrested Development and also starred in the film Girls Will Be Girls, which I hear was just released on DVD in your country this past fall. Meanwhile, I’ve been travelling the globe with my shows and spreading the word of Coco. Where do you get your ‘visual look’ from? Heaven. Do you have a favourite item of clothing? Actually, I have some things that were my mother’s that she gave me. I especially love a belt from the ‘60s and a ring that no longer fits her finger. Whenever I look down and see that ring on my hand I am reminded of how far I have come. I mean, it’s amazing to me that I was once afraid to tell my mother that I was gay and now I’m a drag queen – and she’s giving me accessories! Your last show in the UK was in London at the Soho Theatre, are you looking forward to performing in Brighton? Yes, the audiences were great and came to the show really wanting to have a good time. And with the dollar so weak and the pound so strong, getting to perform in the UK is like winning the lottery! Also, when I was in London, I was often mistaken for a trannie hooker, so it’s nice knowing that if things get tight, I always have a second career. It’s good to have options. What’s the worst job you have ever had? When I was 11 years of age, I was hired over the summer to sweep the streets of my neighbourhood. This meant me getting up at 5.30am every morning over summer vacation – sweeping! To this day if I see someone throw even a gum wrapper on the ground I immediately want to go find a broom… and beat them with it. What’s been the worst gig you’ve ever done? Against my better judgement I agreed to perform in a bar at 1am. The crowd couldn’t have cared less about me. I felt like I had crashed their party, or like I was the annoying friend in the room that wouldn’t shut up. Finally I asked them, “Should I just leave?” Already humiliated, I didn’t wait for their answer. What’s the main difference from performing live on stage or in TV? Most people will tell you that the main difference is that in live theatre you can feel the audience’s energy and they’ll say: “There is nothing like hearing the reaction of a live audience,” and that is true, but I am here to tell you that the main difference is that you make a hell of a lot more money in TV.
William Tells Will Harris fears that he may be prematurely turning into a bear Slowly but surely, I’m getting older. I realise this with a start as I catch sight of myself reflected in the window of HMV. I’ve been ill for over a week and now, emerging from my sick-bed into the cold, hard light of Churchill Square, it feels like it’s been much longer. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still in pretty good nick for a 25-year-old, largely thanks to a daily grooming regime that borders on obsession. But in the week since I’ve been ill my carefully constructed edifice has been neglected – hair a tousled brush, spray-tan peeling like old paint – and as a result I’m starting to look dangerously like Beetlejuice. That’s when I catch sight of the beard. Interesting. A week of uninterrupted growth has given my jaw an unusually masculine set, and I think I like it. “What do you think of my beard?” I ask my best friend Em, who is generally a pretty reliable rule of thumb where questions of whether I’m making a fool of myself are concerned (her stock response being that, yes, I am). Now she peers critically at my face. “Are we calling it a beard?” she ponders, at length. “It looks a bit like one of those seed heads that you water so cress grows on the chin.” Point taken. But later on, re-examining my stubble in the bathroom mirror, something very strange happens: I am physically unable to shave.
“If I’m turning into a bear it’s a few years early because it still takes me ages to finish a pint” The razor is there, the shaving foam and a basin full of warm water. The only thing missing from the scenario is my inclination to shave. I stare at myself in the mirror, at the fine lines that have started creeping round my eyes, the thicker smudge that runs across my forehead. Perhaps my sudden desire for a beard is genetically linked to these other outward signs of the ageing process, an animal urge to appear masculine and powerful. You know, like gorillas get silver stripes on their backs or orangutans develop those massive cheeks that make them look like ginger American footballs. I wonder briefly if I might be turning into a bear. If so, it’s a few years ahead of schedule, not least because it still takes me ages to finish a pint. Still, who am I to stand in the way of the gay evolutionary process? “Do you think I’m turning into a bear?” I ask Em, bursting into the living room in a panic. “I think you’re interrupting Shipwrecked,” she replies without turning her eyes from the screen. “I’m serious,” I persist, blocking the TV to get her attention. “All gay men evolve into bears. Maybe I’m doing it early, like the early menopause for fags.” “You know,” says Em, “that beard quite suits you. You look… hot. It’s actually freaking me out a little bit.” And so, without another word, I go and shave my beard off. The whole thing. After all, I reason, it’s one thing to turn into a bear. I’m definitely not ready to become a lesbian.
You can catch Coco Peru at the Komedia on Sunday 18 May, 8:45–10pm, and Mon 19, Tues 20 and Wed 21 May, 10:30–11.45pm, latest 7 41

Stonewall Brighton Equality Walk
The Stonewall Brighton Equality Walk – now in its fifth year – has successfully raised £30,000 for the fight against homophobic bullying and equality in the workplace. The day witnessed hundreds of walkers who despite the warmest day of the year, successfully completed the 10km walk. “We feel it is both a privilege and a duty to be attending this year’s equality walk. We often receive touching messages from young gay men and women asking for advice as they are being bullied because of their sexuality,” said Dicky and Dolly, Gaydar DJs and ex Big Brother celebrities. “These messages often have us in floods of tears as we both know first hand what it’s like to be bullied because of our sexuality We are really proud to meet everyone today and thank you everyone for supporting Stonewall.”

McCabe and Mrs Miller
2 Fast 2 Furious ★★★✩✩ (2003, ITV1, 10pm. Dir John Singleton) As the text speak of the title suggests, this riotous non-stop car chase sequel was made squarely for the Grand Theft Auto crowd. All the car porn is there from the first movie, but the absence of Vin Diesel (his wage demands were too much, apparently) takes the edge off all the rubber-burning action.
WEDNESDAY 14 The Guru ★★★✩✩ (2002, ITV2, 11.25pm. Dir Daisy von Scherler Mayer) East and West collide for a culture clash comedy where a wannabe Indian actor (Jimi Mistry) becomes a fake sex guru to the Hollywood elite with help from Heather Graham. Not as spicy as it could be, but the Bollywood numbers are brilliant.

TUESDAY 13 ★★★★✩ (1971, TCM, 9pm. Dir Robert Altman) Warren Beatty stars as an entrepreneur whose schemes stir up trouble in a frontier town for an arty Western that benefits its directors free-wheeling filiming style. Julie Christie is excellent as the archetypal tart-with-a-heart trying to protect McCabe from the ravages of the faceless Company.
Is this really necessary? I understand that some women feel very unattractive within their own bodies (on most occasions I am one of them), but do they really need to strip right down in front of crowds to prove that they are sexy? The people in the crowds clapping are other women who feel the same and are relieved to see a ‘larger’ lady getting her kit off in a shop window as opposed to a skinny one. Well first off, let me tell you a few things: 1 Skinny girls have just as many issues with their body as fat ones. 2 Not all skinny girls have an eating disorder. 3 A fat arse is not preferred by all men, in just the same way that a skinny one isn’t. 4 Having DD sized boobs does not make you more of a woman than having an A cup! So enough of Gok touching body parts, exclaiming that they are womanly and insinuating that it is better to jiggle (not that it’s not, but someone has to stick up for the skinny minis!). So, series three is it? I have to admit, after watching the first episode in the series, that I decided it may be too painful to watch another. But for the sake of research I did. And it didn’t make me feel any better about the programme or its subjects! Not being funny, and I don’t mean to sound rude in any way, but if I looked like some of the women on the show I wouldn’t feel too good naked either. And let’s make this clear for a moment – the person who advises them on looking good naked is a gay man, who is not attracted to women, who has never looked at a woman and thought: “Whoa, she looks great naked”, but instead looks at women with a stereotypical gay man view of: “They’re all beautiful!” Enough said. I wouldn’t want some fake gay best friend pointing out that all I need is a spray tan and lacy pants to feel and look good. I would want someone like Johnny Depp pointing out what makes women attractive. Surely it makes sense. To have it pointed out by someone who actually thinks women are attractive? These programmes are all very well and good, but no matter how good these women feel naked, they are still overweight. So perhaps the answer isn’t spraying some orange tan substance over your jiggly bits and stuffing yourself into a sexy bra – maybe try swapping the pie for an apple and do some exercise. It would do you a lot better than prancing about naked for a couple of days.
13-19 May
(1988,Sky Movies Indie, 10pm. Dir Giuseppe Tornatore) Cinema is the star of this group hug of a movie in which Salvatore Cascio appears as a child who falls in love with the silver screen thanks to projectionist Philippe Noiret. Even the hardest-hearted critics will shed a tear as Cascio endures the usual rites of passage.
FRIDAY 16 An Inconvenient Truth
★★★★✩ (2006, Sky Movies Indie, 11.40am. Dir Davis Guggenheim) Let Uncle Al Gore explain just what global warming is all about in a documentary that helped him transform his profile from presidential loser to reborn global eco-warrior. It’s little more than a filmed Power Point presentation, but the central message is more important than ever.
Day of the Dead ★★★★✩ (1985, BBC2, 12.35am. Dir George A. Romero) Rumour has it that that some of the gore in this zombie flick is real human entrails – but don’t let that put you off George A Romero’s terrifying 80s horror. The mood is predictably downbeat as human survivors take on the overpowering zombie hordes.
Commando ★★★✩✩ (1985, Channel4 , 11.20pm. Dir Mark L. Lester) Never mind the realism, just enjoy the body count in Arnie’s classic deadpan 80s actioner. Schwarzenegger (barely) plays a covert agent forced into Central America when his daughter is kidnapped by the bad guys – but it’s not really about the plot, just a good excuse to watch the bodies (and those Arnie-style one-liners) fly.
SUNDAY 18 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ★★★★✩ (1989, BBC1, 8pm. Dir Steven Spielberg) Sean Connery (as Indiana Jones’ Dad) steals the show from under Harrison Ford in what we all thought was the last instalment of the franchise. It’s not quite as fresh as the other two movies, but the Boy’s Own mentality still rings true, and the father/son banter is brilliant.
MONDAY 19 Analyze That ★★✩✩✩ (2002, ITV1, 10.35pm. Dir Harold Ramis) Oosh! Though Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal were a dynamite pairing as stressed mob boss and neurotic psychiatrist in Analyze This, the sequel doesn’t add anything new to the mix. Someone give them each a decent script fast, or we’ll have Analyze The Other before summer is out.

tuesday 13 How to Look Good Naked Channel 4, 8pm Androgynous celebrity stylist (and now high street frock designer) Gok Wan gets stuck into another woman with body issues – in this case 33-year old would-be actress Clare Coxon. Will Gok be able to boost her body image? Elsewhere Rebecca Wilcox tests out fake tans and waterproof eyeshadow.
The World’s Tallest Woman and Me Channel 4, 10pm Mark Dolan discovers what it’s like to look down on the rest of the American population as he travels to Indianapolis to visit Sandy Allen, who claims to be the world’s tallest woman. Then later he’s off to China to discover more tall tales, and another contender for the coveted title.
True Stories: Carny More 4, 10pm Typified as red-eyed, dopesmoking crackpots by the American media, the people who run carnivals around the US don’t exactly have a good rep. Filmmaker Alison Murray looks at the wanderers who live in the glow of the dodgems and discovers that it’s not exactly a life of candy floss and free rides.

friday 16 An Audience Without… ITV1, 9.30pm 1980s telly prankster Jeremy Beadle may not be about anymore, but for better or worse his influence lives on – mainly in the outer reaches of reality TV. This evening ITV doffs its collective cap as Chris Tarrant hosts a tribute show featuring the usual mix of celeb mates, and Beadle-style surprises.
Peep Show Channel 4, 10.30pm So far this series of the innovative comedy show hasn’t quite been up to standard – but there’s still plenty of time to make it a good ‘un. In this episode things go from bad to worse for Jeremy as he runs out of cash and ends up homeless. Meanwhile Mark needs to conjure up a girlfriend.
Genesis: Come Rain or Shine BBC4, 9pm BBC4 goes all ‘Dad Rock’ for a telling peek behind the scenes on Genesis’ first European tour since reforming in 2007. With ‘creative differences’ on the agenda it’s touch and go whether they’ll be able to stay together for the 22 shows, let alone spend a week in the studio with each other.

saturday 17 Wild China BBC2, 7pm It’s not all about repressive regimes and endless pollution in China y’know; as this documentary proves, there’s some nice scenery too. This time around it’s the turn of the fairytale hills of Guilin, where exotic creatures roam and the cormorant fisherman of the Li River make their living.
Pushing Daisies ITV1, 9pm After a strong start, this surreal (and a little twee) drama series seems to be stuck in a standard detective show groove, but it still lights up ITV1’s Saturday schedules nicely. Tonight Ned, Chuck and Emerson investigate the death of a student who’s been killed by (wait for it) a deadly scratch ‘n’ sniff book.
Agatha Christie: A Life in Pictures BBC4, 8.30pm Once considered a bit of a guilty pleasure, the novels of crime queen Agatha Christie have been catnip to TV producers with successful series such as Poirot (left), reeling in the viewers. This drama retells her life, which is every bit as mysterious as one of her closely-plotted murders.
