This is a slightly peculiar edition of Latest 7. Think of it like going through Alice's looking glass. In Andrew’s food review (p20), read how he went to a restaurant where the table grew 18 inches halfway through the meal, the staff burst into song at every opportunity and the proprieter wore a hat with a model of the whole place in miniature, complete with waiters and customers. Meanwhile, clubbing reviewer Jaime spent a night on the tiles with a gang of the undead. For pictures of the zombie invasion at the Ocean Rooms, see page 35. Craig Driver's film page also takes a stroll into a weird dimension – actor Jess Weixler talks about her new film with a literal interpretation of vagina dentata (p27). Yet again the magazine is packed with features from beauty to books, sport to stage. Zara Friend tries out some of the best summer skin products on the market (p18), while model Sandra Omo bares all in her column – appearing without make-up for the first time in Latest 7 (p19). Our cover feature is also on an aesthetic theme, with details of the new Pink Champagne Nail Bar at The Lanes Health and Beauty (p19). Back to more serious issues, Phil Mills quizzed city leaders about what they're doing to cut their carbon footprint and watch the pennies (p13). Dragons’ Den star Duncan Bannatyne has sent a personal, and rather impassioned, retort to Katie's column about him (p9). Jeff Hemmings previews a photographic exhibition that captures the beauty, grace and excitement of being at the forefront of the 1970s Hawaii surfing scene (p29). In music, Jeff quizzes Beautiful South founder Paul Heaton on the eve of his Brighton solo gig (p31). Rising Styles, Brighton's hip hop festival, starts next weekend – for your eight page guide, turn to page 35. Also included this issue is Wave, our monthly green and ethical lifestyle magazine (p19). In news, I spoke to a historian who has unearthed incredible stories about the Royal Sussex County Hospital from the past 180 years, including the man who needed an unexploded bomb removed from his leg, putting his surgeon in a perilous position (p15). The best gigs we've seen recently have included Simon Amstell at the Dome – hear how that went on page 23, or for news of this week's best comedy, see p30 or for details of Komedia's upcoming comedy festival turn to page 24. The Cheeky Girls popped down to Brighton last week with their biggest fan (Lembit Opik) to get dunked in giant cups of tea. For some reason, in this strange issue, it makes sense. Find out why they did it on page 12.

Neigh bother Katie Price shows off her equestrian skills at Hickstead, the home of dressage Everyone’s favourite gorgeous local superstar, Katie Price has showcased yet another of her talents by competing successfully at the home of dressage, Hickstead in West Sussex. Last week Katie made her competitive dressage debut on her horse Glamour Girl, which bought for her as a 30th birthday present by husband Peter André. Dressed demurely in traditional dressage gear, Katie came a very respectable sixth in a field of 23 entrants – commanding respect for her riding skills from the sport’s cognoscenti. Ms Price has been training under Olympic horseman Andrew Gould at his stable Priory Dressage in Sussex, which is also where her two beautiful horses are stabled. I for one would love to see Katie performing for Great Britain in the 2012 Olympics and bringing a bit of gloss and glamour to proceedings. Ever the canny businesswoman, Katie has combined her passion for clothes and horses and will be launching a brand new range of clothing for fellow horse enthusiasts later this year. Due to be unveiled in September this year, KP Equestrian will (not surprisingly) include plenty of pink and lots of glitter and will be created by Katie in collaboration with leading high-street designers. More dressy than dressage? Ms Price was spotted this week leaving her favourite Brighton haunt, The Lanes Health and Beauty laden down with bags and bags of shopping from cult US brand American Apparel. Not an obvious choice for Katie, can we expect to see her rocking lame leggings and headbands on the pages of OK! Magazine soon? Meanwhile hubby Pete was quoted this week saying that if he could be invisible of the day, he’d choose to follow his missus to the Market Street salon and find out exactly what happens when she’s in there!

Good Evans DJ Chris Evans has joined the mass influx of people choosing to live life by the sea in Sussex. The BBC Radio 2 presenter, has packed up his belongings and left his Grade ll Listed home in Godalming, Surrey where he was living with his gorgeous new wife, golfer Natasha Shishmanian and moved to Shoreham-by-Sea. The ginger one is currently living in a caravan while his new house is being built on land he has bought on Shoreham beach. Apparently his newfound mobile-home lifestyle is impeding his sartorial splendour as the poor man claims only to have access to three shirts in his limited onboard wardrobe.

Hirst among equals And his problems don’t end there, because during the move, Chris reportedly lost a valuable Damien Hirst dot painting print after it was accidentally delivered to a charity shop in Godalming. It seems that the artwork was mistakenly consigned to a pile of belongings that Chris had decided not to take to his new seaside home. Instead, being the charitable man he is, these possessions were to be distributed between a number of goodwill shops in the Godalming area. His driver (who is clearly not a fan of Hirst’s work!) then delivered the goods to the lucky shops. Evans announced the mistake live on his Radio 2 show and created a gold rush of Wild West proportions to the town’s eight charity outlets.

Spot a bargain Last year, a similar artwork by the eminently collectable YBA sold at auction for £240,000 – so some lucky Godalming bargain hunter is in the money! As we went to press, the print, which was signed by Damien Hirst, has not surfaced. At least Chris can afford to replace it!

Cyndi in the Basement Spotted in the fashionable North Laine boutique Covet last week was Basement Jaxx collaborator Elliot May. The dance music producers have just announced a brand-new collaboration with pop icon Cyndi Lauper on her forthcoming album Bring Ya To The Brink. Says Cyndi: “Those Basement Jaxx guys are totally great and totally out of their minds.” Well, you’d know, Cyndi!

KATIE’SCOLUMN

What Katie did Duncan Bannatyne responds to Katie’s recent column claiming he failed to tip a chauffeur

Right to reply I am a trustee on the board of Children in Need. I with other trustees give my time free and expect nothing in return. On the Friday 16 November 2007 I was asked to help the BBC by raising money at TV Centre in London in aid of CIN. I worked for six hours, again giving my time for free, and that evening CIN raised £19million. The BBC organised a car to take me from London to Manchester, my wife was at home with the children organising and packing for our family holiday. I should have been with her but we both felt that helping starving children in developing countries was far more important.

Five months later, in April 2008, I was in Nigeria working in hot and fairly dangerous conditions, again helping underprivileged children. I received a call from Katie Glass, who I now consider to be the most dishonest, despicable journalist I have ever spoken to in my life. Ms Glass asked me about a taxi ride I had taken from London to Manchester. I informed her that I have never taken a taxi from London to Manchester and did not know what she was going on about. It was only after a number of calls that I realised that she actually meant the car that the BBC had booked for me on the Friday 16 November, which was actually a chauffeur driven car.

“For every £1 you give, I will give £5. Let me know how much I owe… you have my number!” Ms Glass also asked me about an article in the Sunday Times on the Wednesday 23 April 2008. I once again had no idea what she was talking about. Due to the fact that the Sunday Times is not available in Lagos and secondly I do so many interviews. I called my PA, who checked my diary and reminded me about the chauffeur trip to Manchester; the penny dropped and I called my PR man and asked him to deal with it – as I had more important issues in hand. Ms Glass’s story appeared in the Daily Mail on Friday 25 April 2008 and I thought that was the end of it. I was shocked to discover that Ms Glass had sold the story for a second time to this magazine in June. The article published was embellished, nasty and paid lip service to the truth. I am very proud of what I do for the less fortunate, what do you do Ms Glass? Nothing, I presume. Well here is your chance to give some of the money you received from selling the elaborated story twice. For every £1 you give, I will give £5. Let me know how much I owe... you have my number! Duncan Bannatyne Editor’s note: Katie has donated her fee to Scottish International Relief.

Dani’s diary

Hi, I’m Eminemmylou, throwin’ lyrics at you. This week with songs about peas

I always eat my peas with honey; I've done it all my life. They do taste kind of funny but it keeps them on my knife. Anon.

peas peas peas peas peas

Dani muses on pulling a sickie after pulling the night before

When a friend of mine was 18 he met a beautiful girl and fell in love. On their third date (she had obviously read that book of those bizarre dating rules), they did the deed! Fumbling and bumbling along for the night, they then settled down to sleep, happy with the consequences of one too many drinks, my friend blissful with a gorgeous girl to lay his head beside, drifting off into a peaceful sleep. Woken the next morning by the ever intrusive alarm clock, the girl rolled over and suggested she called into work sick so they could spend the rest of the day trying to recreate the joys of the night before. He, not to anyone’s surprise, thought that was a grand idea. She slid out of bed while he stretched, satisfied with his life at that moment, and let out a little sigh. Rolling on to his side, he peered through the crack in the door and could see his barely dressed damsel clutching the phone and dialling the number. She brushes her hand through her hair and shifts her weight from one foot to the other, scratching the back of one calf with the toes of the other foot. “Oh hi”, she says, stretching her acting ability to its limits while putting on a slightly croaky voice. “I can’t make it in today.” There is a pause while the voice on the other end asks for her reason. My friend – the boy in the bed – lays there and a little smile appears on his face. “Well it’s because my parents have both just died in a horrible car crash and I’ll need a couple of days off!”

“Either the girl’s hinges were slightly loose or he must have really impressed her the night before”

We mean to be happy here on earth Our days of want are done No more shall the lazy belly waste What toiling hands have won Wheat enough for all mankind Is planted here below; Roses and myrtle, beauty and joy And green peas, row upon row Yes, green peas enough for every man Fresh, fresh from their pods We gladly leave to the angels and birds The dainties of the gods And after our death, if wings should sprout We'll visit you up there And eat the holiest tarts and cakes That angel cooks prepare Heinrich Heine

Send rhymes and a pic to: eminemmylou@thelatest.co.uk For more rhymes check out myspace.com/eminemmylou

The boy didn’t move; he had a lot to assess. There were only two possibilities. Either the girl’s hinges were ever so slightly loose or he must have really impressed her the night before. He settled on the latter. She climbed back into bed and her three days of mourning began. Needless to say, they are not happily married now. I doubt it lasted much more than a couple of weeks. So in honour of the Sex and the City movie (because, irritatingly, people suggest I look slightly like a horse. Oops, slip of the tongue – I mean Sarah Jessica Parker), I got to thinking (because that’s what she says when writing her column): just how far can you take the ‘calling in sick’ thing? And what would the main reason be? Another friend of mine was supposed to be teaching a course but was stood up by her pupil; he called in saying he didn’t have a jacket and so couldn’t come. She stared out of the window at the blazing sunshine and thought: “What the f***?” She then, in turn, decided it would be handy if her toilet overflowed because she just couldn’t be arsed to get out of bed! What was your best excuse? Mine was simply because I was too tired. Honesty was key in that excuse, and the stern look from the boss catching me out and about was frightening and the sense of naughtiness made the day even more fun!

Joke of the day A local poet writes... ‘Ullo there. Here’s another winner what I heard in the tavern last night. A woman goes into an antique shop and says to the lady owner, “when I was in here last week I saw a big mug with a flat head that holds a lot of beer. I’d like to buy it.” “Sorry,” said the owner “but I can’t sell you that.” “Why not?” asked the customer? “Because that’s my husband.” Replied the owner. Good eh? I nearly had I an accident when I heard that one. More mirthsome frolics from Derek next time

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)

CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)

LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)

CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19)

Research shows me that Arien traits are best seen in the head, skull, jaw and sinuses. You can be domineering and snotty, nice! You are also honest, so use that – and carry a hanky.

I can’t find a body part for Cancer – but I did find the following; protective, imaginative, caring, intuitive, nostalgic, touchy, possessive, devious, manipulative, tenacious – be afraid.

Librans fare no better with lower back, kidneys and bladder. Delightful eh? Time to ease off the booze then. Detox is your keyword this week and while you’re at it stop p***ing about.

Capricorns tendency for pessimism coupled with a strong link to their teeth and knees is a worrying combo. Start saving for dentures right now – and borrow some tights from a Sagi.

TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)

LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)

Taureans link with their neck, throat and tonsils and are affectionate. Make of that what you will but don’t go too deep. Develop your stubborn side and hide your passive nature.

Leo is all heart. Excuse me while I throw up. All heart my… arrogant yes, pompous often, intolerant most of the time, domineering of course and sloppy – yeuk, yeuk, yeuk, yeuk, yeuk.

I hesitate to reveal this but for Scorpio it’s all about your sex organs, yes males and females. Given that you are also fearless I suggest that you carry with you a warning bell.

Aquarians are bound body and soul to their ankles, which could explain why they all have a love of strappy sandals. With Uranus where it is at the moment avoid over-ripe fruit.

GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)

VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)

PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)

Geminis are strongly linked to their lungs – how attractive is that? They also have a tendency to be reckless and restless. Time to give up smoking then if you haven’t already.

It’s awfully offally for Virgo with pancreas, small intestine, spleen and liver. Sounds more like a mixed grill than a horoscope so break out the mustard and tuck in.

Sagis get stuck with the thighs, but we might have guessed that really. Invest in some support stockings and remember, it’s not the thighs, it’s what you do with them that matters.

Slippery Pisces is all about the lymph system. Ideally you should be a health care worker or a deep sea fisherman; do not combine both. Get a job as a nurse and dine at Bardsley’s.

Actors are needed to star in a film about a violent criminal who kills a journalist. Brighton film makers Gary Wareham and Martin Smith are casting for their latest short film Mindsets, A Violent Mind, which tells the story of John Mulvaney, who is serving a life sentence for multiple murder and Mike Graham, the journalist who interviews him. Over time a fragile rapport develops. With many seeing society as becoming increasingly violent, the film attempts to explore the psyche of violence and why some human beings are capable of extreme acts. Local actors are sought for the main parts: Mulvaney aged 28-35 and Graham aged 35-45. Email gary@gslperformance.com An investor is also sought.

What a cheek The Cheeky Girls came to Brighton – to get dunked in giant cups of tea. The Transylvanian popsters visited the Tea Cosy tea rooms in George Street, Kemp Town to launch a new campaign for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. The association's dunk-it! campaign will encourage people up and down the country to dunk biscuits to raise money for vital research and care. The charity chose the Tea Cosy because of its reputation as being the one place in the UK where dunking is completely forbidden.

Strict owner David Daly, who has based his menu on high tea at the Ritz, has a horror of dunking biscuits – along with people using mobile phones, talking too loudly or putting their pinkie in the air. He gives customers a book of rules with their menu and has even been known for throwing people out for breaking them. But he was happy to dunk Monica Irimia in a bucket of cold tea for the launch, while MP Lembit Opik dunked his fiancee Gabriela. David said: “It was brilliant. She’s very light – I nearly dropped her. They were lovely girls.“

to tell a lot of people in one go about our adventure. We hope that the momentum continues so we can raise more funds and that other local companies are inspired to create inventive fundraising events.“ Fiona Martin, director of Martin Searle Solicitors, said: “The support of many local business partners helped to ensure that the Mad Dogs and English Wine party was rip-roaring success. All of us at Martin Searle Solicitors thoroughly enjoyed our fourth birthday party whilst raising money for Chestnut Tree House.“

Sussex Police Authority is calling for a change in the law to ban outdoor raves. Police have 48hours to object when they are given notice of an event with fewer than 499 people. The authority said notices are being served late on Friday afternoon, which means the deadline for police to respond is Sunday afternoon – often before the relevant people can be consulted. A teenager who held noisy parties when his dad was out of the country has had his instruments and equipment seized and given to charity. Nicholas Barnett, 18, of Longridge Avenue, Saltdean, admitted two breaches of noise abatement orders at Brighton Magistrates' Court last week. Magistrates heard the orders were served on Barnett and his father Terence in April. Two late night parties were held on 30 April and 2 May, one of which went on until 9am. Environmental health officials seized two keyboards, an acoustic guitar, a radio/CD player, a laptop, TV, DVD player, tuner DVDS, videos and computer games. Nicholas Barnett apologised to the court and was given a conditional discharge for nine months. Magistrates ordered the seized equipment be given to charity.

David was even persuaded to dunk a custard cream in his tea. He said: “It was disgusting. It made me feel really sick. I didn’t drink the tea.“ More information on the campaign at www.dunk-it.org

Welcome party More than 100 people held a welcome party for fundraisers who cycled from Brighton to Italy for a children's hospice. Henry Butler, of Butlers Wine Cellar in Brighton, and friend Andy Martin, travelled 1,600 km through France to Bra in northern Italy earlier this year. The ride, dubbed the ‘Mad Dogs and English Wine‘ trip, managed to raise £15,000 for the Chestnut Tree Andy Martin (left) and Henry Butler

House Children’s Hospice near Arundel. The welcome party at the Joogleberry on 5 June raised £2,500. It was also the fourth birthday party for Martin Searle Solicitors, the trip's sponsor. Mr Butler said: “We had a fantastic time at the party and are very grateful to those who organised it. It was a good idea and venue and gave us the opportunity

Brighton MPs have welcomed Government moves towards changing the way lapdancing clubs are licensed. Des Turner, MP for Brighton Kemptown, and Celia Barlow, MP for Hove and Portslade, both signed an Early Day Motion calling for local authorities to be given the power to control licences.

Phil Mills finds out if the city’s party leaders are doing their bit to help the environment and the economy

Every little helps Higher food, gas and petrol prices are focusing minds on household expenditures and economies, but how far are people really cutting back? Brighton and Hove’s three party leaders were asked: are you switching off lights and avoiding car trips? Gill Mitchell, Labour leader, has had tiffs with her 26-year-old daughter at their home in Kemp Town: “I’ll find her putting just a pair of jeans in the washing machine. “I’ll pull her up on the waste and cost of energy used for just one pair of jeans but then she pulls me up on other things she sees me doing. “I will switch off the TV standby light but I can’t bring myself to do the same with my computer – I’m worried I’ll lose everything. “Overall, my daughter and I have a pretty sustainable lifestyle – I work at the Royal Sussex County Hospital twice a week and can walk there and back, and my daughter walks to American Express where she works. “We use local shops and only rarely go to Asda at the marina.

We now don’t leave our heating on a timer but switch it on only when we need it.” Tory leader Mary Mears has come up with an idea that would cut carbon emissions and relieve city congestion – she wants signs put up showing how long it would take the average person to walk between two places. “People think it’s too far to walk across the city but it’s not. We had to get off a bus in the city centre because of a demo and walk to George Street, Hove. It took just 20 minutes. It was easy and quick.” Cllr Mears said she would love to be at home long enough to make economies but is so busy, she’s out most of the time. She said she does think of the issues, both personally and as council leader, but she is loathe to talk down the economy. By doing so, she said, we could be making the problems worse. She said: “You can easily exacerbate the situation and, in reality, the city is still doing well.”

Shocking This rare electric ray which delivers a shock equal to mains power was fished up by a trawler off the Sussex coast – nearly 1,000 miles off course. Normally found in the Mediterranean, the ray was kept alive in a bucket of sea water and is now recovering at the Sea Life Centre in Brighton. Warmer sea temperatures are thought to have lured the fish into the Channel. The two-feet-long predator, which zaps its prey with a 220 volt blast before eating it, was caught in a trawl net seven miles off Shoreham. Brian Davey, skipper of the Jennah-D, said: “I wasn’t quick enough to warn my young crew member before he handled it but, luckily for him, the fish had fully discharged on its way up. “Otherwise, he could have found himself flat on the deck wondering what had hit him.”

But Cllr Mears said she was aware some individuals were hurting: “My overheads are not high but I’m conscious of the effect the economic climate is having on families on low incomes and we have to monitor the situation.” Not surprisingly, Green leader Keith Taylor is the most vociferous and active on the issues. He’s even considering boycotting supermarkets. He buys from local shops and wants to support local produce and businesses and reduce the transportation, fuel costs and emissions created by supermarkets. Cllr Taylor always makes sure his standby lights on home electrical equipment are switched off and feels

It was more than 20 years ago that he last caught a marbled electric ray, Torpedo Marmorata. He said: “I’ve not heard of anyone in the UK having caught one for a few years, and I’m pretty sure this is the only one to turn up in the Channel so far this year.” Its appearance in the Channel could be linked to the hot weather. Alex Gerard, sea life curator, said: “Rising sea temperatures may well have brought an influx of warmwater visitors into the Channel, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this rare capture was followed by more in the coming weeks.” Luckily for bathers, electric rays like fairly deep water, and are unlikely to pose any kind of hazard on popular tourist beaches. Mr Gerard said: “It’s an amazing creature, nature’s very own living battery. It even has to charge up for several hours after it has fired off.” The ray has already recovered enough to start feeding.

so strongly about the issue that he’d like to see the government introduce legislation requiring disconnection of appliances when not in use. He’d like to see more office lights switched off at night but doesn’t go as far as demanding lamps lighting the Royal Pavilion be turned out: “It’s an iconic building and people want to see it. And there is a security issue as well.” He thinks the downturn will delay housing developments in the city and believes the current crunch has exposed the “myth of continuous economic growth” and the reality of how finite resources are. He added: “We need a society which is carbon light and resources light but fulfilment heavy.” latest 7 13

Get involved TAKEPART, Brighton’s first ever international sports festival, opens this weekend in Preston Park Andrew Kay

Foodie Brighton Hi Andrew, When can we fans of your restaurant reviews expect to see some Brighton and Hove establishments reviewed? There are plenty of places here, changing all the time. With an influx of visitors expected, I for one would like a few ideas as to where I can take them for lunches and dinners. Chichester Festival Theatre and the Rainforest Café just aren’t very interesting. Best wishes, John Weller Dear John, Thank you so much for your letter and for reading me. I am sorry that you did not enjoy the Chichester and London pieces as much. The magazine is however very widely read these days and distributed to Chichester in the west and Eastbourne in the east. I also have a great many readers who commute, and the London piece was a reflection of that. In fact, last week saw the second part of the London feature. There are lots of my local reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk and of course there will be many more in the near future. I am about to do Santiago on the beach, a patisserie on Queens Road and the Half Moon at Plumpton. If there is anywhere that you think I should go then please let me know. Again thanks, Andrew Kay

Un-suitable I don’t want to be rude, but the young man selling “The real taste of Italy,” (in the form of an Alfa Romeo, parked in front of the library) needs a new suit. It was hot, and weighed down by five Tesco bags, (and one of my own cotton – always have it in my bag to show I care about the planet – ones), I needed something nice to look at. He stood out. Beautiful dark wavy hair, olive skin (local accent), but then I noticed his trousers. Much, much too long – so long in fact that he could have sewn them together at the front, and saved on the shoes. I will be embarrassed if he reads this, but then I hope he does. You can’t sell a sleek, sexy car, with a pair of dirty (at the hem), frayed trousers – even if they are linen. Yours truly, Anne French, Upper North Street, Brighton

RSCH chronicle When it opened, you wouldn’t be treated unless someone would guarantee to pay for your funeral. Today it provides millions of pounds of free care without obligation. Newhaven author Harry Gaston has traced the history of Brighton’s Royal Sussex County Hospital in a new book filled with fascinating stories . Typical of the 1830s is a woman who lost her legs to the new Brighton railway. She had surgery on the medical students’ dining table, which was then relaid for supper. At that time surgeons would wear black coats and blood and pus would be allowed to dry then simply brushed off. There were many other railway casualties with 15,000 Irish labourers working in dangerous conditions. The hospital began as a charity to help poverty-stricken Brightonians and to provide therapeutic sea bathing. Affluent residents would avoid going there for fear of catching infections. But they wanted treatment to be available for the lower classes to stop diseases spreading.

Mr Gaston said: “It was very risky to go in and have surgery. People were usually treated at home because it was thought to be safer. Surgery was pretty basic in those days.” During World War II, a surgeon, anaesthetist and several nurses risked their lives to remove a live cannon shell from the thigh of a sailor. Mr Gaston retired last year after 40 years of editing the house magazine for Brighton Hospitals, latterly The Bulletin. He said in the 50 years he has known the hospital, there have been unimaginable advances. “I don’t think people really appreciate it.” Brighton’s County Hospital 1828–2007 is £15 from the Friends Office, bookshops in Brighton and Hove and online retailers. Sales will benefit the Friends.

A headmaster has criticised Britain for trailing behind the rest of Europe in terms of learning languages. Tim Barclay of Hove Park School said the numbers of children taking languages to A level was falling catastrophically. Children used to have to do a second language until 16, but this was taken out of the national curriculum in 2004. Mr Barclay said: “Since the government made it not compulsory to do a language at Key Stage 4, the fall in the take up of languages has been catastrophic.” He added: “I think it is shocking and the government recognises it is

Working fit Health MOTs for men in the workplace Refuse collectors, recyclers and street sweepers are among the first in Brighton and Hove to benefit from new workplace health MOTs. Brighton and Hove City Council and Brighton and Hove Primary Care Trust (PCT) launched a major new health initiative for men at the council’s Cityclean refuse and recycling service as part of National Men’s Health Care week. Health checks are being offered to local businesses to help improve the health of male staff – who tend to be more reluctant to go to the doctor than women. The health MOTs include checking weight, blood pressure and lung function and calculating the risk of heart disease. The council and PCT are offering the service to encourage employers to raise awareness of the importance of men’s health in the workplace.

shocking. It impacts on our position in terms of world trade.” On Friday Hove Park will host a conference with more than 100 education specialists to look at how to improve the take up of languages at all levels. It will be attended by representatives of secondary schools, primary schools, colleges and those in charge of setting and delivering the curriculum, including the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. Mr Barclay said: “The aim is to boost the skills and knowledge of the best language teaching available.” He said there was a lot of work going on to look at how the government could make languages more attractive to young people and dispel the myth that they’re difficult to learn. At Key Stage 2, he said, children aged seven to 11 often list languages as one of their favourite subjects but that is reversed by the time they are teenagers. The government has specified all children should learn a language from the age of seven by 2010. Hove Park is a specialist language centre which offers French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese Mandarin and Japanese, plus occasional extra classes in languages such as Arabic and Russian. The Leading World Learning conference will take place at Hove Park School, Friday 27 June 9am–3:30pm. Call Melanie Davies on 01273 294976 or email mdavies@hovepark.org.uk.

“This is a way of getting the message across that a check-up could result in a longer life” Businesses which actively promote staff health and wellbeing benefit by reduced sickness absence, improved morale, productivity and profitability. The scheme also aims to encourage men in Brighton and Hove to take better care of their health and to make more use of health services. Councillor Geoffrey Theobald, the council’s cabinet member for environment, said: “Research shows that most men don’t look after their health as well as they could and often avoid going to the doctor. “We are delighted to be working in partnership with the PCT to take health professionals into the work place, to provide vital information and health checks and improve the health, wellbeing and quality of life for staff. This initiative is a fantastic way of getting the message across that a simple check-up could result in a longer life.” A spokesman for the PCT said: Weslee Emond from “Because men are often reluctant Cityclean proves he’s to visit a doctor, we’ve decided to a picture of health, giving a lift to Rachel take this new service to them. It’s Hollingdale, health convenient, it’s free, it’s quick and promotion dietician. it’s completely confidential.

Graduate ball

Betsy Dadds’ animation

The University of Brighton’s Burt Brill and Cardens Graduate Show 2008 was a great success. Latest 7 talks to the winner of the People’s Art Award, Betsy Dadds For the students, it was the result of three or four years’ really hard work and dedication, and for the 15,000 visitors it was an opportunity to admire some of the most exciting creative work going on in Brighton this year. It was also a chance to spot the talents who will be shaking up the art world over the coming decade. As ever, the standard at the University of Brighton’s Burt Brill and Cardens Graduate Show was incredibly high, with a huge range of media from more than 25 courses. Back for its third year, the Burt Brill and Cardens People’s Art Award invited the public to vote for their favourite graduate work. More than 1,000 votes were cast and there were many contenders, but at the final count there emerged a clear winner: animator Betsy Dadds. Betsy was given £500 thanks to sponsor Burt Brill and Cardens, which she will put towards developing her career. The 22-year-old printmaking graduate works with hand-drawn and hand-printed images before making digital animations. “It means quite a lot to me,” Betsy says. “Rather than just the people who are marking my work, or the sponsors, it is the audience’s choice.” She is full of praise for the set up of her degree course. She says: “You start off doing traditional printmaking but they are really openminded about how they see print. Everyone ends up going off in different directions.” About her work, Betsy says: “My animations occupy a kind of dream space. The world gets turned upside down and back to front; the passage of time is sped up, reversed and slowed down through seasons, night and day.” Sam Pearson, designer of the sound installation ‘Slinkaphonics’, was given a special commendation for his contribution to the show. ‘Slinkaphonics’ was made of 48 Slinkys, the children’s coiled wire toy, to make one huge Slinky. It was the 13th year the show has been sponsored by Burt Brill and Cardens. Without them, the show would not happen. Managing partner David Edwards says: “It’s been another fantastic show with all the students achieving high standards. Betsy’s animation was of a very high standard and brilliantly put together.” The People’s Prize is also supported by Latest Homes and Juice 107.2 FM. 16 latest 7

latest

Have you recently been thinking about starting a form of exercise? Have pricey membership fees confused you or maybe the thought of wheezing around a park has left you feeling breathless? Well, how about something a little more low-key that will still boost your health in one small stroke. Whether you plough up the lane or gracefully glide through the water, swimming is such a great activity to get involved in. Swimming offers so much flexibility for the swimmer; it can be a lone sport or an exercise to be enjoyed with others. There are many strokes that can be adapted to suit your needs – if you want to do high-energy sprints then the front crawl or the butterfly are often used, however if you prefer a more relaxed approached then the breaststroke offers a slower swim but one that is used for a longer period of time and builds up good stamina. It can be enjoyed at any age and can also be particularly helpful to people who are physically impaired or have learning difficulties. There are many benefits associated with swimming; all the major muscle groups are involved in this exercise, it is low impact and also involves low injury risks, it helps to strengthen shoulder and abdominal muscles (particularly beneficial for pregnant women), reduces and prevents high blood pressure, strengthens the muscles around the heart, improves circulation and helps regulate breathing. As well as having physical benefits, swimming is also seen as a very relaxing hobby which promotes feelings of wellbeing, as it releases stress and renews energy. Swimming is an inexpensive form of exercise, and swimming pools are very accessible. What’s more, we could soon be swimming for free: on 6 June of this year, the government released an initiative to get Britain fitter and more sport-orientated; the aim is to make the use of swimming pools in Britain free by 2012 by giving councils nationwide a fund of £130million. But if you can’t wait for your free swim, now the warmer weather is here, why not take a dip in the sea? Not only has Brighton received a Blue Flag award for cleanliness, it passed with ‘recommendation’. So whether you are a doggie-paddler in the swimming pool or a water-wader in the sea, splash out on a new cozzie, get your goggles on and dive in!

I wish I had set out some time for a ‘question and answers’ session during the short meeting I had with the models who attended the casting at which I happened to be one of the judges last week. This is because half an hour after the meeting, some waited outside with questions for me. The first thing I wondered was how many others had questions to ask but had gone home because they could not wait. To be frank, as they began to ask their questions, I thought it was actually a good thing I didn’t have a Q and A, as the majority of questions did not really need answers but a laugh. However, there were some that I was not prepared for, and I was stunned when one girl asked if having a natural picture in one’s portfolio isn’t a big contrast to other photos in the book, and a contradiction to one’s career, because the natural photo shows that you are not what the other photos portray you as. I was stunned because the second she asked the question, it dawned on me that there must be so many models thinking the same and the thing is that I had never thought about it. In fact, it never occurred to me. Here I am, ready to show my book with my natural photo on the first page to whoever is willing to see, and I have never considered this; why? Because this is what modelling is all about – what you can be like, can do, can portray, etc. And this is exactly what portfolios are for – to show what you are and what can be done with you – thanks to make-up and technology. If you are beginning to think that you are only what your carefully made-up, retouched and glam photos show you to be, then you are getting the whole point of modelling wrong. It is just like acting – no actor is the character he/she plays in a movie, and no model wakes up in the morning looking the way he/she looks in a magazine. This is where the talent is, to be able to appear as what you are not, and ‘pull it off’ well.

“It is the photo I am most proud of, and I am quick to point out that it is me with no make-up” Now I see why many models, especially those not signed to an agency yet, dread this photo. Am I saying that every experienced model (even supermodels and those signed to an agency) has a ‘no make-up’ photo in their book? Yes! Agencies may not put these pictures on their website, but they are definitely in the models’ books, whether the model wants it or not, and it is usually the first thing clients want to see. And as for the model, you have no cause worrying that your natural photo might be a hindrance to your book or your career because you are a model as a result of your natural looks, not your photos. Your natural photo may not be your favourite in the beginning; it was not for me. Nevertheless, it has become the photo that I am most proud of, and I am quick to point out in auditions that it is me with no make-up. As for the other photos, their purpose is to show your versatility and ability to portray anything. Therefore, it is not you, but what can be done with you; that is what modelling is all about. You are not exactly what your modelling picture shows you to be. If you are, then the whole purpose is defeated because there has been nothing created out of your look. It means that the photographer, designer, make-up artist, and every other person (including you) who worked to make the picture, has done a bad job. So why give them credit? latest 7 19

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK

Bom-bon Andrew Kay sings for his supper at Bom-Bane’s in Kemp Town Life, being what it is, can all become a bit serious. Even for me in my role as roly-poly fat man at large for Latest 7. I am only too aware that my waxing lyrical on the joys of food and drink can border on the indulgent at one extreme and the straightforward rant at the other. There are days when, to be really honest, all I want is a fish finger butty with Heinz salad cream. I shouldn’t moan, one friend openly admonishes me for complaining about what she describes as a charmed life with a charmed job. And from time to time an invite pops in which certainly lifts my spirits. One such invite arrived at the end of the festival. Dinner at Bom-Bane’s for Bom-Bane’s: The Musical.

‘‘Good food, loads of organic wine, great music, humour, sadness, lunacy and an epic mountain of chocolate-draped freshly cooked waffles’’ Now to my shame I have neglected Bom-Bane’s and for no good reason. I may have been slightly disturbed at the concept of Yorkshire/Belgian cuisine, but that’s not a good enough excuse. I replied to the invite in the affirmative and a week later, accompanied by the ubiquitous Mr L, we arrived. Bom-Bane’s can legitimately be described as eccentric. The décor defies all the rules of good taste – and looks amazing. The tables are works of anarchic art, ours rose a good 18 inches at random throughout the evening, another revolved, one had a pepperpot that set chimes ringing and one had a model pier with tidal water that came and went. Maitresse Bom-Bane is fully in charge of her unruly child of a café but is aided and abetted by Nick Pynn, musician extraordinaire, who by legend has played a different instrument on every UK number one hit since 1804, or some such lunacy. Anyway he is a seriously good multiinstrumentalist so we were in good hands. Dinner came with songs; songs about dinner, about how Jane opened the café, how the staff arrived and as if by magic, could sing and play instruments too. And they certainly can play and sing. Better then good, they are brilliant. We laughed continuously from beginning to end and it was delicious laughter, people all sharing in the one joke. It was as if, somehow, we were in a parallel world where revolving tables and singing waitresses were the norm. An evening away from the drabness of the real world and from the high arts in which I had immersed myself for the previous three weeks. Dinner was good too. A starter of tapenade, hummus and roasted red pepper dip came with good bread and lovely oven-baked tomatoes. Next out came stoemp and sausages with Belgian beer gravy. Now I am not

unfamiliar with stoemp, having eaten it in Amsterdam a few times. Basically it is a mix of mashed potato and vegetables. In Holland the veg content tends to be heavy on the cabbage, at BomBane’s it boasted broccoli and carrots. The gravy was good enough to eat with a spoon and the sausages were big and meaty. It was hearty stuff to fuel our hearty enjoyment. By now we had learned of the difficulties of working at Bom-Bane’s, the struggle for survival and the fun too. The girls appeared and sang, then served the food and drink. Nick appeared with a lute, then a dulcimer, then a fiddle and then a guitar. A harmonium was wheeled in and out and a strange orb on the stairs produced various sci-fi sounds as it was caressed. This was quite clearly an extraordinary event; good food, loads of organic wine, great music, humour, sadness, lunacy and an epic mountain of chocolate-draped freshly cooked waffles with an equally impressive hill of fruit salad. We all politely took a share and there was plenty left for seconds all round. Now I have eaten in some of the finest restaurants around and dined on fine foods and wines. But I have seldom had this much pure pleasure, music, food and merrymaking that did not depend on indulgence, did not make demands of me, simply filled my belly and then made it ache with laughter. In a coup de grace Jane appeared in a stunningly lunatic hat complete with animated model of the restaurant and with staff on a motorised staircase caught in perpetual servitude. It was all I could do to remain on my seat. Bom-Bane’s, 24 George Street, Brighton BN2 1RH is open Tue-Sun,12.30-11pm, last orders for food on music Tuesdays is 7pm. Bom-Bane’s: The Musical will be performed again on June 28 and July 17 and 26. Call 01273 606400 or visit: www.bom-banes.co.uk

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan The last time ex-Belle and Sebastian damsel Campbell and gruff former Screaming Trees man Lanegan played Brighton, it was nothing less than spellbinding. The pair’s second album, Sunday at Devil Dirt, is almost as good as their Mercury-nominated debut, though their song-writing brilliance doesn't shine through tonight. Firstly, a poor sound mix makes subtle synthesised strings clunky, tacky even. Next, it's apparent both protagonists are worn out, with tired and weak (by their usual high standard) vocals.

Natty Natty delivers a reggae soul sound reminiscent of Jamaica’s early years. It’s not ground-breaking stuff, but good old-fashioned reggae, with lyrics that apply to our places and times. ‘Cold Town’ and other tracks I had heard from his Myspace page were especially well received; other ones felt a little bit like fillers. Fans of Finley Quaye or LSK should check him out. Having caught him play the Great Escape,

Liam Mullone – In A Dead Man’s Hat More of a storyteller with expert timing than a stand-up comic in this show, Mullone details an entrancing journey of very little growth, but one not short on adventure and tangents to his childhood and early adulthood. An above-average Edinburgh preview, this had less of the ‘in progress’ and more of the ‘work’,

Sleuth A classic thriller was here ruined by a a shabby second-hand set. How awful that the best efforts of Michael Praed and Simon McCorkindale could be dragged down but they were. Even the props were shoddy and failed to work, losing any tension that the actors had managed to build. Both played the parts well, although McCorkindale delivered so many of his lines at virtuoso breakneck speed that for a time it seemed he was delivering a Gilbert and Sullivan patter song.

Steve Earle An American singer running the gamut of Washington and Spanish politics during the inter-song patter – slightly unusual shall we say. Steve Earle doesn’t dress it up, sartorially or otherwise, and tonight this is folk rock in the raw, performed without a band in its purest Tennessee drawl. Later, accompaniment comes via a turntablist with some interesting (said with a hint of irony), if incongruous Indian backing beats. Earle also duets with wife number seven, Alison Moorer, whose warm-up rendition of Joni Mitchell’s ‘Both Sides Now’ was a peach. Concert Hall, The Dome, 11 June ✌✌✌✌ Jan Goodey

HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Simon Amstell Simon Amstell has had a haircut. His signature huge mop of floppy curls has been cut back. Luckily Simon is no Samson and his cutting humour and vert funny cruel quips have not accompanied his curls onto the floor. Telling tales of identity, from his own sexuality and self-absorption in relationships to the influence of celebrity – including his own – this was a far more interactive show than Amstell had bargained on. More than heckling and less than conversation, surprisingly this only added to the enjoyment of the show. Great fun. The Dome, 13 June

The October Revolutions Can age-gap relationships ever work? Philip, 29, is clever, patronising and at once full of confidence and self-doubt. Kath, 19, is passionate, idealistic and impetuous. Together they are the kind of badly matched couple who drive each other up the wall yet somehow always end up together. This play explores the huge gap between the people we aspire to be and who we really are. The brilliant cast of two bring alive the sharp dialogue and reveal the characters’ flaws, without making them dislikeable. With spotless writing and direction, this is a highly entertaining and very funny production. The Nightingale Theatre, 14 June ✌✌✌✌ Rachel Pegg

Money, money, money Martlets Hospice to benefit from evening of poptastic Abba Gold It’s 34 years since Abba blazed to glory on the stage of the Brighton Dome in the Eurovision Song Contest, but their popularity lives on in the hearts of thousands of fans worldwide. Unlike most winners though, Abba proved to be the exception to the ‘one hit wonder’ rule that usually applies and went on to carve out an amazing career as pop performers and songwriters of excellence. And even though they have not performed together for many years, the legend lives on in recording and also with tribute bands. Top Abba tribute act Abba Gold have just returned from another sellout European tour and have agreed to perform three charity shows at the Theatre Royal, Brighton. Tickets are bound to be in great demand as Abba Gold are one of the leading Abba tribute bands in the UK. Singing live on stage with Abba Gold will be some of the younger members of Brighton Theatre Group who recently staged Oliver! at the Theatre Royal to critical acclaim and sold out every performance. So why not join them and Abba Gold and sing and dance the night away to all the big Abba hits, including ‘Money,

Money, Money’, ‘Waterloo’, ‘Dancing Queen’ and lots more! You could even get a group together and have a fantastic evening, as group discounts are available. At the same time you will be helping to raise funds for The Martlets Hospice here in Brighton and Hove.

Abba Gold, Theatre Royal, New Road, Brighton, 22 and 23 Aug. Call 08700 606050 (bkg fee) or visit: www.theambassadors.com/theatreroyal.

Competition We have five pairs of tickets to be won. Simply answer the following question on a postcard and send to: Abba Gold, Latest 7, Unit 1 Level 5 North, New England House, New England Street, Brighton BN1 4GH. In what year did Abba win the Eurovision Song Contest?

Kind’a magic The Great Lycra stretches a point at the Joogleberry If comedy was the new rock’n’roll then magic is set to become the new comedy. Tricksters and illusionists are quite literally popping up everywhere, from table magic and sleight of hand to grand illusions, mind readers and hypnotists. It’s all part of the revival of variety and it makes for an extremely entertaining night out. For many years, Lynn Thomas, aka ‘The Great Lycra’ has performed as a magician. He has plied his craft in such diverse venues as a holiday camp in Hokkaido Japan, the opening of the Pompidou Centre Paris, Harare Zimbabwe, and on a pleasure boat in the Gota Canal Sweden. Now he adds the Joogleberry to his illustrious list of venues for a fun show with special guest artistes. The evening can be summed up by ‘the rule of three’: sophisticated sorcery, the dining room delight and no dirty tricks. The Great Lycra, Joogleberry Playhouse, 14-17 Manchester Street Brighton, Monday July 21, 8:30pm. Tickets £6. For box office call: 01273 687171.

Adulthood (15) Dir: Noel Clarke In 2005 the acclaimed Kidulthood took us deep into London’s gang culture underbelly, delivering a raw, hardhitting reflection of what life is like for 21st century teenagers, where sex is currency, drugs are easy to come by and violence is a way of life.

FILM horror film. Yeah, I think it has humour because it has heart. She’s not a monster, she’s not malicious – she’s not seeking anyone out to try to hurt them. She’s only protecting herself. How was it working with Mitchell Lichtenstein, the writer-director? It’s funny – when I first read the script, I was like I gotta go meet this guy because he could just be a freak. And I don’t know if I want to work with him. But Mitchell’s the sweetest, most shy, genuine person that I knew there was something to it. Is there a message that this film is sending to today’s youth? I don’t think there’s an intentional message with this movie. I think it’s more of a ‘what if’ this were to happen to a woman.

A film with bite Jess Weixler, the star of controversial new horror Teeth, talks to Latest 7 about taking on such a unique role You can’t exactly go out and meet other women who suffer from vagina dentata. How the hell do you go about researching this kind of role? Well that’s why I liked the part. Because there were no rules for how to play the game. Look at this girl Dawn, realise she came from this place of total innocence – she’s very human, someone who doesn’t know their body and hasn’t opened up yet. And then she gets to learn about life as it sort of attacks her. So she has a very dangerous sexual experience, then instinct kicks in and her body essentially protects her until she learns how to use the teeth. And that’s something I had to come to.

In Teeth, you play a woman who has problems communicating with men. Do you find this a common trait in your own dealings with the opposite sex? I wouldn’t say personally that I have problems communicating with men – though I’m not sure what the men would say, (laughs). I haven’t actually thought about how they’re similar. To me, Dawn comes from such a pure place and is so shocked to find this stuff inside of her – figuratively and literally – and then sort of grows into a woman who really owns it. What’s so great about Teeth is that it’s a different kind of horror. It’s not gratuitous, like Saw or Hostel, it’s a much more personal

The creative team responsible for the original trilogy are back on board, including Steven Spielberg directing, George Lucas producing, Harrison Ford starring and even Karen Allen returning as Indy’s love interest, Marion Ravenwood.

How do you think the audience are going to react to Teeth? Conceptually, I think it’s going to turn a lot of people off. But, in the same way, conceptually it’s going to turn a lot of people on. I think people are going to see it because they’re curious. Where are you going from here with your career? Eventually, I’d love to be known as a character actor. I’d do just about anything that really catches my eye. Whether it be a Hollywood movie or an independent film that just connects to me. But I feel good about making choices slowly right now.

A re-imagining of The Hulk’s origin presented in a more action-packed style than Ang Lee’s meditative, psychoanalytical first film, this follows scientist Bruce Banner as an experiment goes wrong, turning him into a big green ball of rage. Though Lee’s artsy first film was a critical success, it didn’t make quite as many millions as hoped, so this time round, the action’s dumbed-down for maximum financial clout. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Worthing 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 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 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 Odeon

Sex and the City (15) Dir: Michael Patrick King That rarest of summer beasts, the true chickflick blockbuster, swoops in as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda’s longawaited big screen debut hits the UK. Gossip magazines and the tabloids have been salivating at the prospect of more tales from the city, and this outing picks up where the series ended, with Carrie engaged to her Mr Big. Needless to say there’ll be complications galore on the way to Carrie’s big day, as Samantha gets ready to eat every man in the congregation. Expect everything from the series, plus all the best summer fashions as Sarah Jessica Parker and co square up to the likes of Indy, Iron Man and The Caped Crusader for one hell of a brawl. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon There Will Be Blood (15) Dir: Paul Thomas Anderson It was five years since acclaimed director P.T Anderson’s last film; then There Will Be Blood blew cinemagoers away. With a striking performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, who continues to carve his own niche as AllAmerican badass, this sprawling western garnered rave reviews, with Day-Lewis winning the Best Actor Oscar for his role as a turn of the century oil prospector. A modern classic that will be discussed for years to come. Showing at Odeon Nick Aldwinckle

40 years young Local children’s charity Rockinghorse is celebrating a very special anniversary this year It’s happy 40th birthday to Rockinghorse, the much-loved charity providing support to children in hospital in Sussex. At the heart of the celebrations, Brighton Racecourse hosted a race with a difference this month: the first annual William Hill Mascot Derby. The sleek, well-groomed racehorses usually on display were replaced by a motley crew of participants including two sharks, a seahorse, bears and even Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men (ask your grandad who they were). All the participants were representing sports clubs and companies from across the region. The derby day was one of a series of events being held throughout the year to celebrate Rockinghorse’s 40th birthday. Spectators were also treated to a full programme of regular racing with real racehorses. Children who came along had a chance to have their faces painted, see magic tricks and enjoy a pony ride. Alice Teague, who helped organise the event, said it raised a grand total of £4,000 for the charity: “We had a fantastic day,” she said. “It was a perfect way to celebrate Rockinghorse’s 40th birthday, and we are very grateful to all the visitors to Brighton Racecourse who showed such generosity and support.” Rockinghorse buys much-needed equipment and facilities that are not provided by the NHS, helping the doctors, nurses and other health professionals at places like the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton to offer the best possible care and support to their young patients. Current projects include helping to fund the Chalk Hill Adolescent Mental Health Centre and stepping up support for the redevelopment of the Trevor Mann Baby Unit. As part of the celebrations, Rockinghorse is looking for 40 people who are also turning 40 this year. Is your mum, dad, aunt or uncle celebrating their 40th birthday this year? If so, persuade them to volunteer and get them to telephone 08452 222298. Find out more about Rockinghorse at www.rockinghorse.org.uk

STAND-UP COMEDY

Write club

A laughing matter Victoria Nangle finds that, increasingly, what will make you laugh on stage won’t be traditional stand-up You know what’s great about laughter? It can come from the most unlikely of places. I love a good set-up-and-punch gag as much as the next gal; the carefully crafted joke without an extra word to spare – it’s a work of art. But there is something else that you can find on the comedy circuits which people are either loving or hating, and I have no name for it. It’s just someone – or some people – being funny in a format that just doesn’t fit the mould of what we know. To start off with, there’s been a rise in comedy sketch groups. From the nationally acclaimed Pappy’s Fun Club, to the meteoric success of Mitchell and Webb, and the local successes of Frankly Robert, there’s a lot of it about – or there is now. Orchestrating an interaction to make people laugh and reconstructing that fourth wall, the regular absence of which usually terrifies those sitting in the front row of a conventional comedy gig, changes the rules.

“The audience has no idea why they’re laughing. It just works” For one, there’s less terror from the audience that they will be called on to get involved. For another, there’s an affirmation of who this character you see on stage is supposed to be. His mate’s just told you, so you don’t have to spend the first two minutes sussing out if you like the look of them. Sketch comedy will set the scene immediately. It seems odd when a solo character performer comes on and says: “I’m the window cleaner, don’t you know.” Less so when his mate arrives and screams: “Have you cleaned them windows yet?” This sets the scene without a crowbar. Nice. Of course, there’s also the rise of improvisation groups (for a rundown on most of the groups in Brighton just pop along to the Improvathon Improv Comedy Festival at Komedia this weekend). The Marmite of comedy shows – you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. Both sides swear the other’s mental. However, the most random of random formats comes in the form of the ambush comic. That’s the one who introduces a random quiz suddenly. The one who decides to perform a mime midway through the evening. The one who wears a novelty hat throughout the whole of their performance and doesn’t mention it once. The audience has no idea why they’re laughing – there aren’t the signposts saying ‘laugh here’ that you’d find from a regular comic. It just works. Even more bizarre comical ways are coming to the fore. Character comics are doing very well, musical comedy has always had its fans and slapstick will never die. Keep an open mind and you won’t miss out on any of it.

John Davies finds that one young Brighton talent is cooking with gas on that tricky second novel Bethan Roberts’ first novel from Serpent’s Tail, The Pools, published in 2007, received an excellent critical reception. So The Good Plain Cook is that difficult creature, her second novel. But if The Pools proved a tough act to follow, there’s no evidence of it in this wellwrought and captivating story. It reminded me of Muriel Spark, Iris Murdoch and Edna O’Brien with a touch of Lawrence thrown in for good measure. Not bad company to keep. It’s 1936. Ellen Steinberg, a wealthy American, lives the bohemian life in a cottage in Harting, with her wannabee revolutionarypoet lover George Crane and her knowing eleven-year-old daughter Geenie. The ‘good plain cook’ of the title is Kitty Allen, the 19year-old skivvy, who replies to a call to adventure in the form of an ad in the local paper for a cook to “perform domestic duties for artistic household”. Although Kitty can hardly cook a poached egg, she gets the job and survives with help from her sister Lou. The arrival of George’s daughter, the cool and enigmatic Diana, adds complication, as does the presence of the absent James, the love of Ellen’s life who died during an operation as she began her love affair with Crane. Based on the blurb, this isn’t the kind of story I’d rush to read. It’s important you know that because I was absolutely knocked out by this book. It’s one of the best I’ve read for a long time. It’s beautifully written and while it ticks all the boxes for literary fiction, it’s spellbinding in the way all great stories are. It pulled me in and didn’t let me go until well after I reached the last page. It achieves this magic because it’s very well told. All the characters come to life with intensity, three-dimensional, clearly focused, fresh, literally stepping off the page to live in the consciousness of the reader. At moments, the story hovers around the subject matter of Atonement, but this is a very different book. Although tragedy has lashed at the household and may again, The Good Plain Cook is a true comedy of manners in the spirit of Jane Austen. We’re not talking belly laughs here, but rather a story that traces the way a young person deals with social conventions. The irony is that the conventions Kitty has to deal with are the artistic and political pretensions of wealthy counter culture. The word comedy traces its origins to ancient Greece with the idea of village revels embedded within it. At one level that’s a very good description of The Good Plain Cook. Like A Midsummer Night’s Dream (or Hamlet come to that), it features a play within it, and one that’s at the heart of the drama. Kitty’s awakening authenticity, discovering her own beautiful mind and body, is wonderfully well written. Roberts is a very sexy writer, handling the mesmerising quality of sexual attraction with great delicacy and power. Like her main character, Kitty, Roberts is an embroiderer of great skill and patience. Kitty’s accomplishment is recognised by the blocked writer, Crane: “‘It’s just a bit of sewing Mr Crane. Something to pass the time.’ ‘It’s much more than that, surely! Look at the detail in it!’ His voice had become hushed, urgent. ‘It’s, well, it’s remarkable.’” This could be a comment on the novel itself. It is beautifully embroidered. Each thread matters, each stitch counts. In the words of the ironic epigraph from The Big Book of Needlecraft (circa 1935), Roberts has achieved something of loveliness, a convincing demonstration of sheer talent, a work of mature insight and skill. I especially like the way she stays with characters in a scene, beyond the point when other writers might lose interest, flinch and turn away. Roberts has the courage to explore the beats in a relationship longer, deeper, to deliver maximum impact. The Good Plain Cook is a real pleasure to read and as you probably gather, I recommend it highly. Like the good food Kitty learns to cook, it left me wanting more. It’s published in July, so look out for it at the delightful Kemp Town Bookshop and other good bookshops in the city.

Orbiting over Brighton Acclaimed artist and producer William Orbit will be hosting his own show on Radio Reverb on Sunday 29 June from 10pm ‘til midnight. This exclusive one-off show will see him playing some of his favourite records. Feedback is of course very welcome during the course of this live broadcast, just email studio@radioreverb.com. Orbit is a pioneer of ambient music and has had a couple of his own top ten hits – alongside his collaborations with Madonna, U2, Blur, Robbie Williams and All Saints, he has remixed the likes of The Cure, Peter Gabriel and Depeche Mode. www.williamorbit.com

After 18-years, ten top ten albums and innumerable hits, Paul Heaton decided to call it day at a band meeting on 30 January 2008. The Beautiful South had proved to be one of the biggest bands of their time, with their trademark bittersweet, kitchen-sink dramas. “It was my decision,” says Paul, who is now striking out as a solo artist. “It was difficult to tell everyone, even the brass section! It was more of a social wrench, not a musical wrench. I was beginning to realise how many in-jokes and innuendos we had as a band – I just needed a change.” Paul has a new album The Cross-Eyed Rambler, and there’s a short tour to back it up. “It’s great; with the Beautiful South we were getting a bit spoilt with hotels and such. Now it’s back to B&Bs,” he laughs. “I suppose there are plenty of good ones in Brighton!” What does the album title refer to? “It’s about always coming back to the same place, forever going around in circles. I don’t mean to take the piss out of cross-eyed people – it’s a metaphor. The lyrics to the opening track go: ‘How short the long and winding road, how long the cul-desac/Just like the cross-eyed rambler, we’ve been this way before.‘“ Lyrically, Heaton tells it like only Heaton does, but he detects a little bit more anger in his lyrics. “With The Housemartins (his first band, which also included his old friend Norman Cook) it was more us against them, and the songs are a bit like that again. It’s harder to track your enemies;

they’re everywhere. TV is unbelievably depressing – there seems to be a bombardment of ads for faster cars and all the cooks, when tasting something, always say how amazing everything is.” Paul is on the loose now, with a stream of observations about the current state of Britain that definitely show he’s not content, nor been bashed into submission by ‘modern life’. “‘Everything is Everything’ (one of the album’s highlights) is basically about my gripe with Britain, says Paul as if to close the subject. But no, here he comes again: “… we lost the right to protest once we became shareholders during the Thatcher era. And there are just enormous amounts of faceless figures running our lives who we can’t vote out…” It’s classic Heaton stuff, and a strong reason why he has endeared himself to a huge fanbase built over the years. Another strong reason for his enduring popularity is that he appeals to a generally older audience, those with long-term relationships, for example. Musically, there seems to be a tougher, more rockier approach to the new album. “With Dave Rotheray (Beautiful South co-writer), as he got older, he’d like to play everything slow. But with these new musicians they are up for rocking out a bit. We’re not exactly wigging out, but there’s a bit of an edge to the sound that we didn’t have with the Beautiful South.” Paul Heaton, Saturday 5 July, Komedia The Cross-Eyed Rambler is out now

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases Recorded with Bjorn (of Peter, Bjorn and John), Youth Novels by Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li is a stripped back yet glowing affair featuring harpsichords, flutes and theremins as well as guitars and drums. The childlike vocals of Li beguile within the emotionally direct chronicles of her life so far. A bit over-long, sometimes a little stylised, nevertheless a superbly constructed album. New Orleans most famous son, Dr John is back with a new album; City That Care Forgot is a somewhat bitter yet elegant homage to his drowned hometown. One of his best works for many years there’s the never tiring collection of barrelhouse funk, gospel and blues-inflected tunes. Special guests include Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton and Ani DiFranco. Not yet 30, Thea Gilmore has just released her eighth album, The Liejacker, another sturdy collection of folk, roots and acoustic numbers that veer down the territory marked ‘middle-of-the-road’. Still, she consistently produces the goods, and is slowly but surely building up her already solid following. Even the venerable Joan Baez has lent her vocals to a track, plus there are further contributions from The Zutons’ Dave McCabe, Steve Wickham and Erin McKeown. Dork rockers Weezer up the stakes of inanity with their self-titled sixth album. As always they manage to pull the rabbit out of the hat with a couple of crackers in the form of ‘Pork and Beans’ and ‘Troublemaker’, but the rest is fairly middling power pop fayre with supremely daft lyrics. Gotta admit though, that their ‘Pork and Beans’ track is a killer blast of higrade flatulence. Amen. Much talked about Austin trio White Denim unleash their Workout Holiday album, a blistering, urgent and rather thrilling ride through the post-garage, rock landscape previously inhabited by the likes of MC5, early The Who and the more Avante Garde stylings of early Captain Beefheart. With his first new release for some time Brighton’s Cakeboy releases another deliciously bumping acid-fried, funky, big beat ride with this expertly produced five track Dope Disco EP. Dripping with tasty old school flavours and some seriously upbeat funky action. Infectious. My Morning Jacket have been around for a decade now, so it’s only fitting that their back catalogue’s been reissued to mark the occasion. Live double album Okonokos was originally released in 2006 and perfectly captures everything about the band: namely their occasional brilliance, Americana-fuelled jam sessions and over-indulgence in the world of prog. Of course, the likes of ‘It Beats 4 U’ are amazing, but too often this is just a good look at something of a cult band who have never quite achieved the other-worldly elegance they clearly aim for. Liverpudlian guitar kids The Steeples irritate within a second of playing debut album Tea For Two, when first track ‘Britney’s Tears’ brings to mind The Fratellis playing the theme tune to TV’s One Foot in the Grave, if you can imagine such horror. It doesn’t improve from there, unfortunately, with plodding, undemanding ditties making you wish you were actually in your grave. Horrible.

Jaime Pettit realises nightmares come true at the Ocean Rooms and wonders which zombie ate her brain? I tossed and turned like a chicken pox-infested infant during my nightmare induced by The Happening (what a redeeming bonus these free films are!) I spent hours running (like Linford with a jet up his rear) from skyscraper to Art Deco theatre from the heralding toxin. I awoke to start planning my afterlife. Never had I been so enthused by black eyes and bad skin…It was then I realised that an epic proportion of the fun pie was devoured in the early preparation for Zombies Ate My Brain at the Ocean Rooms. I busted out my housemate’s face altering gear, perfect for those headed for the stocks! My room looked like an Accident and Emergency room when we had done smudging and smearing and re-starting. A blood spattering here, the odd nose there. Post-massacre we took our rain soaked clown-look to check into the twilight level with the rest of the undead. Down in the basement where nobody goes there’s a secret society of bloody freaks, staggering and bumping away to minimal electro (that’s just enough!) thrown out by DJ Shane Watcha. The smokey abyss resembled the atmosphere of a graveyard to give a a hair erecting vibe filled with gothic Lolitas. I wish I’d taken a belt of make-up filled pies to bosh at all the living who hadn’t made the effort to pass on. The night is your Play Doh, it can be a fab zombie mash-up with some comic worth, or just another generic Joe Blog fest with the occasional bleeding eye sufferer scattered between. Choice is yours but just a butt-kicking encouragement, it’s free if you ham it up! So hell, just go and kill some friends too! Maybe nightmares aren’t so bad after all.

Rainbow dreams He’s responsible for creating one of the most wellknown flags in the world. Paul Disney meets up with Gilbert Baker, the creator of the Rainbow Flag Describe yourself in three words? Artist, loving and political. Who, if anyone, do you aspire to? There’s so many people, that’s a tough one. Harvey Milk springs to mind. He had so much courage, charisma and had a real sense of presence to the people around him. How does it feel to be the person who designed one of the most instantly recognised and well-known flags in the world? Real good. I’m often amazed at how global the flag has become. It’s a symbol that the LGBT community is here; it makes us visible. You have said the flag is unfinished, can you elaborate on that statement? Well, just as our communities are evolving, so is the flag. The gay rights movement started off as lesbian and gay, then over the years the B for bisexual was attached followed by the T for transgendered. So you can see that both the flag and the different communities that make up the global village are always evolving. The flag often provokes extreme reactions to this day in countries such as Russia, Latvia, Poland and Slovakia. Why is this? I think the message is the flag has come from the soul of the LGBT communities. It says to everyone that we are here, that we are visible. Some people, especially the religious right, have a problem with that. Tell me about the Absolut vodka connection and the Rainbow Flag? Absolut asked to get involved because this year is the 30th anniversary of the flag and Absolut have produced a campaign to highlight that. The company have continuously supported the LGBT communities and gay rights over the years and have now produced a new campaign, Absolut Colors. There is also a glossy new cocktail book, containing recipes using Absolut vodka in all its many-flavoured variants. Which is your favourite cocktail? Sea Breeze, that’s a cranberry juice and vodka.

William Tells Will Harris has a history lesson from a hero to gay people across the globe. Spending a few days in the company of Gilbert Baker, creator of the rainbow flag, was like taking a refresher course in gay history. Up to that point I’d managed to piece together a rough idea of how the gay rights movement began from my good friends Channel 4, Armistead Maupin and Wikipedia; but to actually be in the presence of someone who was there when it happened was something altogether different. As I’d flown Gilbert over from New York to help promote a client project, I was lucky enough to sit with him during several press interviews: over breakfast in Soho, propping up the bar in Selfridges, or just talking on the telephone as we strolled through the chatter of Chinatown. As he talked, and the journalists smiled and nodded, and scrawled their incomprehensible short-hand across dog-eared notebooks, I began to build up my own picture of what life was like in ‘70s San Francisco. I mentioned last week how, 30 years ago, when the rainbow flag was created, the world was only just starting to wise up to the fact that – to borrow a phrase from a movie of the time – ‘they walk among us’. Homosexuality had been a criminal act in most people’s living memory, and it was still widely considered to be not only a psychosexual disorder but also an inferior moral state. Pretty bleak, huh?

“I found myself more than a little inspired by my new gay uncle from across the pond” Well, actually no. From listening to Gilbert’s interviews, and from assailing him relentlessly with my own questions at every available juncture, it sounded like he had an absolute blast. Ok, there were difficult times (his close friend and openly gay city supervisor Harvey Milk was assassinated in ’78, a story that will hit the big screen later this year), but there were good times too. He told me about the protest marches, and how the gay community banded together when they felt they had to stand up for their rights, and – oblivious to my blank expression – how before the advent of email they used something called phone trees to organise themselves. Black men and women sometimes talk about going to Africa to discover their roots, and I guess meeting Gilbert wasn’t a million miles away from that. Of course, the obvious thing black people have in common is a shared racial heritage, which those of us in the gay community don’t have. Being gay is not necessarily something that’s passed down through the bloodlines, and as a result I think we sometimes lose that sense of a shared history, and of having forefathers who came before us. But I think we can find those things, if we know where to look. As I gave Gilbert a big squeeze goodbye, I realised how much I’d learnt from spending time with him; both what previous generations had to go through and the direction we need to go in next (supporting emerging Prides in Russia and Eastern Europe – don’t get me started!). It might sound clichéd, but yeah, I found myself more than a little inspired by my new gay uncle from across the pond. We’re not officially related, of course, but – as Gilbert himself says – “I know my people”.

Queerbaroque summer Pride concert Amidst all the club and bar nights in the city that will be celebrating the run up to Pride, why not take time out and discover some LGBT musical heritage As part of the Pride in Brighton and Hove celebrations Queerbaroque will play a concert of 17th and 18th century music by LGBT composers using period instruments. The evening is entitled. ‘Amor, Dicea...Love Songs and Other Stories’, and the ensemble of professional and singers and musicians dedicated to the exploration of LGBT music between the 17th–18th century. “A lot of 18th century music (such as Handel’s duets) contains messages of same-sex love and even situations where travesty roles allowed for the representation of transgender characters,” says Massimo Redaelli, director of Queerbaroque. “As a music group interested in baroque music, our aim is to

explore this repertoire alongside the music of gay composers who suffered discrimination because of their sexual orientation (such as Johann Rosenmuller who was imprisoned and later fled to Venice). We feel this is important on two grounds: firstly, to highlight the considerable contribution of LGBT individuals to our musical and cultural heritage; secondly, to provide a sense of grounding and pride to today’s gay community through the rediscovery of works that are often masterpieces. LGBT artists were not a quaint little appendix to the history of music, but central figures who often shaped history”. Thursday 31 July 2008 at 7.30pm at St Nicholas’ Church, Dyke Road, Brighton. Tickets are £7/5.

As the Count Me In Too (CMIT) research project celebrates its third birthday, its partners, Spectrum and the University of Brighton, are proud to announce its success in obtaining further funding. This new round of funding for community university partnerships comes from the South East Costal Communities Project, which received £3 million funding across nine institutions. The funding for the Universities of Brighton and Sussex is also supporting community university partnerships that address disabled people and older people. Dr. Kath Browne, lead university researcher for the CMIT project said, “We are looking forward to working with LGBT people and creating even more tangible results that will make use of the information people gave us and the stories they shared. We have been working hard at a policy level and are going to use this money to work with LGBT people to make positive changes to their city.” The recently awarded funding ushers in a new phase for the CMIT project. In line with its commitment to community partnerships, CMIT will consult with LGBT people living, working or socialising in Brighton and Hove via a series of events later in the year. These events will discuss how the wealth of data

gathered from 2005 from the LGBT Community University Partnerships should be used. “Count Me In Too has done far more than collect valuable evidence of diverse LGBT needs,” said Spectrum’s coordinator, Arthur Law. “It has helped redefine how we can make a process for evidence-led change sustainable and inclusive. Spectrum looks forward to another three years working with the research team from the universities to support the LGBT communities and services to build on this vital resource so this evidence is translated into much-needed action.”

Brighton Village Street Party 2008 This year’s Village Street Party promises to be the safest, well planned and successful two-day event that the city has put on to date. It promises two days of partying with adequate toilet facilities (32), and open park spaces where you can chill out, such as the Old Steine with a live jazz band. “This is certainly going to be the safest event as we have had to employ a health and safety officer who will be going around on the day to ensure everything is as safe as possible,” says Ben Davie, the chair of the Village Street Party. “Actually, if we didn’t have the blue print from last year’s event freely provided by Kim Lucas and Claudia Diekmann it would have been a lot tougher. However the organisers of the Street Party, the Kemp Town Pub Watch, having managed the event for so long also provided us with sound knowledge and information and we thank Kim, Claudia and the Pub Watch for being so helpful.” They’ve also had great support from Pride in the form of Judith Manson and Jason Phillips, they have been so helpful by giving loads of free advice and the best course of action to take. However, Ben is adamant that the Village Street Party 2008 is seen as transparent. “Although the two-day is after the Pride in the Park and attracts many people from that event, the Street Party is in no way part of Pride. As in all other years, Pride have volunteered their help and advice in the smooth running of the street party, and because of their experience and knowledge it is with grateful thanks that they are a part of the team. If there are any surplus funds The Pub Watch Group will decide on the distribution of this.”

Drag Idol at Charles Street: Brighton Heat

Drag Idol 2008. Heats have been held up and down the country over the past few weeks to find Britain's most talented drag queen. Drag Idol competitor 'Miss Direction' has made it through to the semi-finals via two heats, with a magic routine. Charles Street Club was the location for the Brighton heat of this year's Drag Idol competition... contestants took to the stage and jostled for their chance for a place in the finals at London Pride, and for the chance of winning £1000. The final takes place at Europride, Leicester Square, on Saturday 5 July. Images: Stuart Martin www.realbrighton.com

GBH: It’s A Man’s Thing at Charles Street

With such a butch sounding name for the evening we had to head on down to Charles Street to find out what the ever-popular GBH had on offer. And as only true professionals can do, they put on fabulous decorations and had ‘butch men’ all over the place. With a few boys thrown in of course. If you like your men muscled, hairy and with porn star looks then you’ll love it here. Look out for the next GBH Night 27 June. Images: Stuart Martin www.realbrighton.com

She says it how she sees it

The Paul O’Grady Show I know, I know – the latest series has now finished, but here’s a retrospective look at a programme I really enjoyed. I can’t help it, but I do like Paul O’Grady. I have no idea who most of the guests were, as many of them were from soaps I wouldn’t watch if I was paid. But I like Paul. Evidently, as I even like him enough to refer to him as Paul! I love that he was willing to dress up. This isn’t necessarily news to anyone, but no one else has the guts, other than Phil and Fern, who will try most things. I love that he brought his puppies on and couldn’t help but adopt the others he tried to find homes for with his viewers. I think the reason we, or at least I, couldn’t help but love the man is because he is just like one of us. He has the same sense of humour, the same awkward stance, the same love for his pets, the same admiration for a regular cuppa. His shows contained a little more than just regular interviews with people promoting their new film, book or song, and when he did promote it he did it obviously, as opposed to hiding it within a supposedly in-depth conversation with someone who had been asked the same questions a hundred times. He got everyone and everything involved. He had mini-presenters (children who watched the show). In each series he had a civilian who he sent on missions. He promoted giving to charity and it felt like he really cared about doing it. I always got the impression that he did this because he really loved it, not because he got a good wage. He is not Trisha or Jeremy Kyle and if someone went on with a real tragic story, he talked to them like they were his friend, not like he was trying to get all he could from them. Every time I visited my nan after work, Paul was on the box, and it made me smile. Perhaps I like him through association – perhaps it reminded me of giggling with my nan. Whatever the reason, I can’t help but love him. His guests were always up for a laugh and he always found something interesting (for want of a better word) for them to do. His competitions were always outrageously easy and he would always tell you the answer if you couldn’t quite get it. Power to the Paul. He entertained his way into my heart and I’m not ashamed to admit it! The latest series of Paul’s show has now finished.

Films on TV

Movies on the box this week

TUESDAY 24 Babel (2006) ★★★★✩ (2006, Sky Movies Indie, 7.35pm. Dir Alejandro González Iñárritu) A hunting rifle is the balm which binds together three disparate plot strands in an ambitious indie movie designed to delight the globally conscious chattering classes. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett are the main focus as two unhappy Americans who come a cropper in North Africa.

WEDNESDAY 25 Hollow Man ★★★✩✩ (2000, Five, 10pm. Dir Paul Verhoeven) Settle back for guilty pleasures galore as Paul Verhoeven presents his OTT take on the invisible man flick. Kevin Bacon stars as the evil scientist who will stop at nothing for global domination (including groping his costar under a cloak of invisibility, natch).

THURSDAY 26 Sabrina ★★★✩✩ (1995, ITV3, 7.30pm. Dir Sydney Pollack) Film buffs may moan, but if you’re looking for straightforward romance then this starry-eyed movie remake will do fine for a Thursday night. Harrison Ford stars as the multi-millionaire businessman trying to snare ducklingturned-swan Julia Ormond away from his playboy younger brother.

FRIDAY 27 A Clockwork Orange ★★★★✩ (1971, TCM, 10.50pm. Dir Stanley Kubrick) All the young droogs carry the news in Kubrick’s controversial version of the cult novel. Malcolm McDowell in particular is the personification of hoodie horror as a young man in a future Britain who has a taste for a bit of the old ultraviolence. Venom ★★✩✩✩ (2005, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir Jim Gillespie) An evil voodoo curse transforms a redneck truck driver into a teenslaying zombie serial killer in this standard-issue hack ‘n’ slash flick that fails to raise many scares. Apart from a couple of inventive kills it’s one to leave for the late-night gore hounds.

SATURDAY 28 Zoolander ★★★★✩ (2001, Channel 4, 10pm. Dir Ben Stiller) The world of high fashion may be an easy target for satire – but Ben Stiller

40 latest 7

24-30 June

still scores a bullseye in this brilliant send-up of kinky catwalk queens and male supermodels too thick to turn at the end of a runway. Totally daft but completely hilarious with it.

Ride ★★✩✩✩ (1998, BBC2, 2am. Dir Millicent Shelton) Propelled by music from Onyx, WuTang Clan and Naughty by Nature this raucous hip hop comedy is best seen very late at night in a smoky room. Melissa De Sousa stars as Leta Evans, a would-be director charged with transporting a group of wannabe rap stars to their first big video shoot.

SUNDAY 29 The Land Girls ★★★✩✩ (1998, Channel 4, 7pm. Dir David Leland) Focusing on three very different gals (Anna Friel, Rachel Weisz and Catherine McCormack) sent for farm duty during WW2, this gentle drama nicely evokes the peace of the English countryside. Of course, it doesn’t stay peaceful for long, what with a handsome farmer’s son to stir up their passions.

MONDAY 30 Lord of War ★★★✩✩ (2005, BBC1, 10.35pm. Dir Andrew Niccol) War – huh – what is it good for? ‘Absolutely nuthin’ proves to be the answer as illustrated by this heavyhanded satire starring Nicolas Cage as an international arms dealer extraordinaire. Ethan Hawke plays the hard-bitten agent who tracks him across all five continents.

tuesday 24 Legend of the Crystal Skulls: Revealed Five, 8pm Indiana Jones may have his own ideas as to where the crystal skulls came from – and darn entertaining they are too – but this documentary tries to get to the truth. Are they from the Aztecs? Do they have psychic powers? Or are they one of the most elaborate historical hoaxes?

The Supersizers Go... Regency BBC2, 9pm Fun and educational – every programmer’s dream come true is this. Putting food critic Giles Coren and comedian Sue Perkins slap bang in the middle of the Regency period and feeding them – and making them live – accordingly is highly entertaining. Sue’s after a husband.

True Stories: Mad Hot Ballroom More4, 10pm There can be nothing so apathetic as an 11-year-old without interest – and nothing so enthusiastic as one with it. Watch the transformation from one state to the other as New York State pupils enter the world of ballroom dancing in a coming of age documentary.

wednesday 25 Real Crime: The Fight for Sarah’s Law ITV1, 9pm There have been a lot of ‘true crime’ stories about lately, but this is one story that’s stayed in the media’s eye as murder victim eight-year-old Sarah Payne’s mother fought to prevent anyone else facing the same tragedy. Here is her whole story brought together into one coherent tale.

Snowden and Margaret: Inside a Royal Marriage Channel 4, 9pm In these gossip-crazed days there’s still a semblance of respect for the private lives of the royals. Except in retrospect. The iconic royal couple of the 60s, the fairytale that ended in the first royal divorce in 400 years, the side of the story that didn’t blame Margaret for it all falling down.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot ITV3, 8pm Everything getting a bit too demanding mid-week? Need to hark back to a simpler time? You’re in luck. David Suchet dons the moustache and the persona of Belgium’s greatest detective and the clues will automatically lead to the bad guy being apprehended. Ta da! Starting with a dead man with a love letter.

Friday Night with Jonathan Ross BBC1, 10.35pm The Woss has got them all this week – starting with double Oscar-winner Will Smith talking about his ‘superhero with flaws’ movie Hancock. Then there’s the bolshiest female to come out of Wales since Bassey noticed some bloke’s digits were gold – Charlotte Church. Plus Jay-Z.

Pushing Daisies ITV2, 8pm Emerson – you’ve gotta love a show with a PI called Emerson – Ned and Chuck are hired to prove that a pilot didn’t commit suicide but was murdered. With this lot involved it’ll be a cinch. That’s why the tale can’t be quite so simple, and before long there’s stolen jewellery and an escapee to contend with too. Ooh!

saturday 28 Who Dares, Sings ITV1, 8pm Essex girl hoofer Denise Van Outen presents a mass sing song in what’s billed as ‘the ultimate karaoke party’. £50,000 is up for grabs as long-suffering members of the public compete against a fearsome Sing Star-esque super computer called SAM. Could be the evening to switch off the telly and go down the pub…

Buzzcocks…Imagine A Mildly Amusing Panel Show BBC2, 11.30pm …and return for this surprisingly entertaining spoof. It’s basically a Buzzcocks clip show, but made all the more brilliant by Alan Yentob and Simon Amstell sending themselves up in a fauxdocumentary style. A good chance to check out the classic Preston flounce-off, too.

Glastonbury 2008 BBC4, 10.30pm After total media saturation and a couple of miserably wet years it seems like it’s make or break time for the festival that most scenesters seem to be turning their nose up at this year. Still, it could be even better without the crowds – so make some viewing time to check out the best-of-thefest on telly.

monday 30 4 Music: Independents Day Channel 4, 12.10pm If you’re an aging Rough Trade obsessive who reckons being ‘indie’ is about unlistenable bsides and Half Man Half Biscuit, then you’d better avoid this series focusing on modern alternative artists recording covers of indie classics. Representing the new wave are Feeder (left), The Futureheads and Editors.

Dispatches: The Truth About Street Weapons BBC4, 8pm Dr Tunje Lasoye, head of Accident and Emergency in London’s Kings College Hospital heads a sobering account of knife crime in Britain. The film follows Dr Lasoye as he talks to police officers, gang members and children about the impact of weapons on the streets.

The Mighty Boosh BBC3, 10.30pm If you’ve made it back from Glastonbury in one piece, then this surreal comedy should be the perfect balm for your bedraggled brain. It’s a goodie tonight too – when Vince conjures up the horrible Jazz Beast when he bites one of Howard’s rare jazz records it’s up to Lester Corncrake to save his life.
