Someone said to me the other day that living in Brighton is like living in a theme park – there’s always some kind of weird and wonderful event going on. That’s true for the whole of the summer, but never more than during Pride festival, when it feels like the entire city has come together to have a big, colourful, camp party. There are literally hundreds of events taking place over the next week or so, from private Pride parties to huge celebrations, champagne breakfasts and rummage sales, and of course the parade and party in Preston Park. In our Pride feature, we explain all about Pride’s history (p31) and give you details of more than 100 of the best Pride events (p35). Also in our regular Latest Gay section – the only weekly gay guide in Brighton – columnist Will ponders what makes a gay icon? (p33) On the same page, find details of a new queer writing group. We’re giving our male readers the chance to win a £200 hair makeover by two prizewinning stylists from Brighton’s Trevor Sorbie salon. (p37). The charity behind Pride is still in dire need of volunteers for this year. If you could help the parade and Pride Around the World party go safely, visit www.brightonpride.org, email office@brightonpride.org or call 01273 775939. The festival might attract 150,000 people but of course it’s not all about Pride here in Brighton. Alison Swann, our Brightonophile columnist, is looking forward to two upcoming music festivals, which are also winning local hearts – Loop and Beachdown, both coming up in August (p7). The Joogleberry Playhouse, a much-loved live venue in the city, is changing its name – but keeping its charm. Find out what’s going to happen when the nightspot becomes Latest Musicbar on page 11. The Cheeky Boys, our satirical columnists, have more facts about Hove this week; did you know about the town’s links to Emilio Estevez? (p10) Andrew Kay, our chief writer and stage and food critic, has been gambling again – but only with his waistline. Read his review of the food at Hove’s Grosvenor Casino on page 17. In film, writer Isabella Formisano spoke to director Tom Kalin about his new movie Savage Grace (p25), while music writer Nick Aldwinckle talked to punk icon Henry Rollins, ahead of his appearance at Komedia on Wednesday 13 August (p27). Whether you’re a visitor to our city or a local, why not use our 25-page whats-on guide to decide what to do in what is bound to be one of the most fun weeks of the year?. We have hundreds of listings to choose from, starting on page 21. This week it’s also time for your monthly green and ethical lifestyle magazine - turn to page 16 for Wave.

Business aid Sue Deane of local solicitors Dean Wilson Laing gives invaluable advice to the city’s thousands of small companies and employees This week: Time off from work Sue Deane is an Employment Executive with Dean Wilson Laing solicitors acting for both employers and employees on all aspects of employment law and employee relations. For initial advice and assistance on any areas of employment law, please call Sue on 01273 249255. She is a Member of the CIPD and a serving magistrate. Q. I am the proprietor of a small company and am unsure about what rights my employees have to take time off from work other than for annual leave. A. The rights of staff to take time off can be split between the statutory rights to take time off to carry out public duties and time off to cope in the event of unforeseen circumstances affecting their dependants.
Q. One of my employees has just been appointed a Justice of the Peace. How much time off do I have to allow her to perform this public duty? A. The law says “the amount of time off which an employee is to be permitted to take under this section and the occasion on which and any condition subject to which time off may be so taken are those that are reasonable in all the circumstances having regard, in particular to i) How much time off is required for the performance of the duties of the office, and (ii) The circumstances of the employer’s business and the effect of the employee’s absence on the running of that business”. Q. Is this the only public duty which is governed by law? A. No, if you have an employee who is a member of a local authority, a statutory tribunal, a police authority, board of prison visitors, or relevant
health or education body, the same rights apply. Q. Do employees have to be paid whilst they are absent from work for these purposes? A. No, you can exercise your discretion whether to pay them or not. Q. I am sometimes asked to allow time off to cover emergency situations. Do I have to permit this and for how long? A. Yes, all employees are permitted to have time off for emergencies affecting dependants. A dependant is a spouse or civil partner, a child, a parent or a person who lives in the same household as the employee other than a tenant, lodger or boarder. However this right does not cover domestic emergencies. The amount of time is what is considered reasonable under all the circumstances but should not amount to more than a few days.
Q. What type of events are covered by this right? A. The statutory right covers:a) providing assistance when a dependant falls ill, gives birth or is injured or assaulted; b) making arrangements for the provision of care for a dependant who is ill or injured; c) in consequence of the death of a dependant; d) due to unexpected disruption or termination of arrangements for the care of a dependant; or e) to deal with an unexpected incident involving a child at school. Q. What is the best way of making my employees aware of these rights? A. You could have a separate “time off” policy which could be incorporated in a Staff Handbook if you have one, in the contracts of employment or as a stand alone policy which is issued to all employees.

Peace Picnic
Sucker Punch DVD
Down at Hove Lawns on Sunday 20 July 2008, the weather couldn’t have been better for one of Brighton’s largest free community events: the annual Peace Picnic. There was entertainment for everyone including three live music stages, a kids’ space, stalls, interactive workshops, forums, films, healing, global food stalls, a bar and much, much, more. I managed to catch a light aircraft from Shoreham Airport to take the aerial photographs of this year’s Peace of Art, which was sponsored by Infinity Foods. Many thanks to everyone who got involved.

The Twilight Zone – Rod Serling’s Lost Classics DVD
Reckless abandon On Thursday 17 July 2008, a packed house at the Joogleberry Playhouse was rocked by American band Reckless Sons and up-andcoming Brighton band The Splendour, whose second single ‘Money’ from their debut album was released on 21 July 2008.

This week Network invite you to enter The Twilight Zone and experience Rod Serling’s Lost Classics for the very first time.

What Alison did Alison Swann is thinking being in a band is great, just don’t have a partner in tow…
Sound of summer I’ve never wanted to be in a band, even when spectacularly drunk. My ex – who was the lead singer in a momentarily successful band – did try to persuade me that I could play bass, as: “Anyone can do it. Just poke your leg out and slouch over.” I would then be able to go on tour with said band. Hurrah, I thought, just like Linda McCartney banging sticks on the xylophone in Wings – not a good move. I swerved that idea and instead taught myself to use a camera; the life of a rock’n’roll photographer was mine. For a while at least…
studios, feigning interest as my ex sang the same word over and over again. I realise it’s important to get it right, but I want to hear it when it is right. Because the bit on the motorway of sound running up to it is so boring it makes you want to start carving ‘I love Phil Collins’ into the silver discs above the desk. Here in Brighton, music is a religion. The joke is often made that everyone in this city is in a band or is a DJ, and it is true that this is a city where people walk around with guitars, singing away, pretending to be in The Kooks – and not all of them are on medication. Although I’m thinking that wandering minstrel bloke probably should be. In recent years the gigging music scene has been looking a bit wobbly, with a dearth of venues available for baby bands to serve up their virgin sounds. Thankfully this situation is on the turn, as venues take a more local viewpoint on what people want to come out and see. There’s also been the rebirth of the summer music festival, with the Loop and Beachdown lot setting up camp and plugging in their monstersized amps. I really was getting tired of relaying my story of the time the Pogues came to Stanmer Park for the Heineken Festival and were joined on stage by Kirsty MacColl – who then shoved Shane McGowan off stage into the mud. What a gal. So guess what? It could be you! Brighton has proved itself the perfect springboard for musicians. Just don’t expect your partner to sit and listen to you in the recording studio…
“This is a city where people walk around with guitars, singing away pretending to be in The Kooks – and not all of them are on medication” Well, to be honest, I was hanging out with what was about to be the crossover folk/pop scene, who weren’t exactly chucking TVs out of a hotel windows. I did once suggest that one of the bands liven things up a bit by renaming themselves ‘Folk on Coke‘. They failed to take up my stunningly amusing suggestion and, on the release of their second album last year, had the audacity to gain the plaudit of Rolling Stone’s album of 2007. The music business is hard work, and you have got to have an almost sociopathic passion to make it work – you have really got to want to do it. It may look glamorous from the outside, but it isn’t. I spent two years traipsing in and out of

EMOTIONS
Dani’s diary Dani has her cover blown and things get cute and cuddly in the country
I was accused the other day of carrying out a mystery second life. I was quite worried about what she would pull out of her hat and accuse me of, until she starting telling me how much I look like the girl who writes in Latest 7. I told her she was correct and that it looked like me because it was. She was happy as it meant she could prove her boyfriend wrong and in fact she does know everybody! I had thought she had discovered my other secret. That I am officially far too old for my time (although I think more people could tell that by just looking at me, it’s not a secret by any means). As after a weekend trip to the country I feel like a complete fish out of water in the city. And I would quite like to head back to where everything is small (and when I say everything I mean all the animals have had babies) and I want one of each! Because I have that ultra-girly disease that means if I see a baby version of an animal I can’t help but make a small squeaking noise and exclaim how much I want it for my own. Which I can only imagine can become very irritating to the others on the trip. But I didn’t care as most people refused to go with me – as they are all aware that I have a couple of screws loose! So the big secret is out – I am Dani!
“I have that ultra-girly disease; if I see a baby animal I make a small squeaking noise” And that’s it for the week, one weekend away and my brain has turned to mush! I have spent the last ten minutes being highly distracted by the nail varnish on my toes and then became involved in picking it all off – well at least that will give me something to do later – I thought I would change the colour. This week I have also discovered that I say “I don’t give a s**t” far too often. Well not really far too often – but enough to make me think, do I really care that little? I think the main thing must be that I don’t care as much about the things that others do. I couldn’t care less who you know or where you go. Mainly because, I don’t give a toss. To be perfectly honest I don’t really care about anything unless it directly affects me. I know it’s a terrible thing to say but it’s pretty much true, and is for most of us. I would be the first to admit that I am just ever so slightly self-obsessed, and believe it or not, I am a lot less self-obsessed than some. But I have found; that those people that run around talking about all the wonderful things they have done, for everyone all over the world, only feel the need to inform you of it so they can feel better about themselves. You will find in life that the less self-obsessed someone is the less they will need to tell you about all the great things they have done! I, on the other hand, tell you about all the regular things I do. Once every week!

Celebrity break up Yes we’ve heard rumours for some time, but finally showbiz’s oddest couple, Gabriella Cheeky Girl and Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik, have officially split. Only a few weeks ago Lembit was dunking his Transylvanian lovely into a giant cup of tea in George Street. Now it seems that, like a biscuit, the relationship has crumbled. According to Gabriella’s mum, Magrit (who I once had probably the most bizarre telephone conversation with) “the couple had not spoken for three weeks but my daughter is still wearing her engagement ring”. None the wiser there then!
Dragons’ stars have been making their presence felt across Sussex – be afraid! Well it’s back and boy have we missed it – no I am not talking about the summer, but BBC2’s Dragons’ Den! One dragon in particular, straight-talking Scottish entrepreneur Duncan Bannatyne, is set to open a brand new spa in Sussex. Duncan, entrepreneur and star of the hit BBC show, has recently announced plans to spend a cool £500,000 on building the state-ofthe-art venue as part of the existing Bannatyne’s Health Club in Hastings. The spa, which is due to open in October this year, will have one of the first type of tiled and heated relaxation chairs/loungers. Still on the subject of the stars of Dragons’ Den, the only female dragon, Deborah Meaden, visited Brighton last week. She was here as part of a short film that is being made about her life and successes. The tycoon dropped in to the Brighton Housing Trust project based in Oriental Place, which currently houses 52 formerly homeless men and women. The place is no stranger to Deborah, as she lived there when it was a YWCA and she was studying business at Brighton Polytechnic!
McFly back in town Set at the top of the charts and coming back to Brighton are everyone’s favourite boy band, McFly. Last year the band took a brave step in the music biz and opted to leave the record company that launched them, and basically went it alone on their own label, Super Records. Their new album, One For The Radio, is completely funded by the four members of the band – not bad for four lads under 22! McFly play the Brighton Centre on Tuesday 18 November as part of their UK tour, tickets are on sale now, call 0870 900 9100.
Celeb threads Celebrity tailor Gresham Blake has had his Bond Street shop full of celebrities last week. Firstly, sharp dressed comic Jimmy Carr popped down from London to see his favourite outfitter. Also in store – and Gresham tells me that he had a funny feeling that he might come in – was top psychic Colin Fry. Ooh, spooky!
Spotted! Seen shopping in FSDS jewellery shop in Rottingdean, was actor Timothy Spall – recently seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Peter Pettigrew. The actor was accompanied by a tall female companion, they browsed for about ten minutes and then got on a bus!

Hove factually Five more facts you probably didn’t know about fantabulous Hove 1 The mineral rights to Hove are owned by actor Emilio Estevez, who bought them in 1993 with his earnings from the film Another Stakeout. 2 ‘Hove’ was a character who appeared in the first series of the 1970s BBC childrens’ TV series The Wombles. A coprophiliac and right-wing political agitator, the character proved unpopular with viewers and was killed off in the 1974 episode ‘Bungo’s Big Score’. 3 Hove’s chief censor is ex-Food and Drink front man Chris Kelly. In the past 38 years he has passed only three movies for public viewing – Cool Runnings, She’s Out Of Control, and Irréversible. 4 A bronze statue of JB Priestley crimping one off stood in Hove Park until 1943, when it was melted down for the war effort. 5 Hove’s winter lasts 11 months.

What was that? Can’t remember the name of an obscure film, book, TV show, or whatever? Ask Mike Hunter, the man with all the answers. Dear Mike, I’d be very grateful if you could help me. As a boy I remember watching silent black-and-white movies at the picture house (as we called it then) that featured this little chap who wore baggy trousers, a tight jacket, a bowler hat, and carried a cane. He seemed to be a vagrant and had, I remember, a little toothbrush moustache and was forever getting into scrapes. These films featured much hilarious knockabout humour and slapstick, as well as the odd totally jarring moment of sentimentality. I’ve totally forgotten what this performer was called, and I’d love to see one of his films again before it’s too late (I am 97 years old and may not have too much time left). Thanks very much. William Cuthbertson, Hove Dear William, Shame on you! I know these are Modern Times and you were just The Kid when you saw these films, but really! Only kidding! I hope there’ll be a Gold Rush towards your local video store now! The performer in question is, of course, Jeff Stryker, star of Powertool, Wild Buck and Catalina Down and Dirty. Glad to have been of help. Keep those letters flooding in! Mike X

Ariens born under Uranus have the ability to lead and to find a new direction for the planet. My advice, stand back, let people make their own decisions, it did not work for Hitler.
Cancer’s tendency to dominate can lead to problems in the bedroom. Learn to be more giving at all times, offer to change the duvet cover and pillowslips for a change.
Not content with your life you feel a need to dress up and pretend to be someone else. Not a bad idea but be careful when shaving unfamiliar parts, ask a friend to help, a good friend.

SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Inquisitive Taurus should be prepared to be slapped. Astral aspects may lead you to poke your nose into everything but not everyone wants your hooter in an intimate space.
Leos have such strong self-belief that it is hard to get under their skin. Open up Leo before you find that the only true lover you will ever find is a full length mirror.
Avoid falling into the trap of using deception to find a partner, you will be found out. Small ads will not be the answer to your lonely heart. Have a haircut and go out on the town.
Aquarius, you are a liability. Even on your best behaviour you cannot be trusted so please, for this week keep your hands to yourself. On a positive note why not get a manicure?
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
Geminis have a tendency to think that they are above the law and beyond reproach. It just ain’t true, it’s time to face facts and keep your nose clean or face the consequences.
Virgos everywhere should refrain from wearing underwear in bed. It is an unhealthy habit, dirty and unromantic. Avoid giving your partner a post-coital assessment of their performance.
Try not to compensate for your shortcomings by getting over excited, especially in public. Warmer weather may suggest shorts but in your condition is that a good idea?
Pesky Pisces should remember that there is a time and a place for everything. There is also a time for a plaice and everything, including chips – make haste to Bardsley’s now.

Rachel Pegg reveals why popular city nightspot the Joogleberry Playhouse is being relaunched as the Latest MusicBar
Sound of success As the Joogleberry is reborn as Latest Musicbar Brighton’s live music scene is assured of a dynamic future. It is one of the quirkiest venues in Brighton and for many music fans it reflects everything they love about the city. The Joogleberry Playhouse is intimate, stylish and welcoming, with a vibe that suits all kinds of acts from the funky ten-piece salsa band to the a capella performer. The bar/music-venue/nightclub has the atmosphere of a New York jazz club while remaining distinctly Brightonian – trendy, full of character and a stone’s throw from the beach. Over the years it has counted among its audience Paul McCartney, Fatboy Slim, Zöe Ball, Alistair McGowan and thousands of other Brighton and Hove residents. This week the much-loved Joogleberry is to become Latest MusicBar – its first name change in five years, since the Students’ Union moved out of the original Komedia building. Owners Bill Smith and Angi Mariani bought the Joogleberry last year and have worked hard to maintain its unique reputation, while expanding its repertoire and booking hundreds of high-quality acts – from folk to soul, blues, gypsy, rock and ska. Bill and Angi are themselves both musicians and have tried to create a comfortable space for all music lovers, from fans to music students and people working in the industry. In the past year they have brought Chris Difford from Squeeze, Mark Chadwick of The Levellers, Turin Brakes, Tom McRae, Kathryn Williams and the cream of Brighton's new bands, such as Floors and Walls, to the downstairs cabaret bar. They enjoy hosting regular nights to showcase upcoming talent from the Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM), which counts The Kooks and Kate Walsh among its former students. Both have played at the Joogleberry. Bill and Angi have built a series of businesses inspired by their love of music and the arts. They own Latest Records as well as Latest magazines, where every week readers can find out about performers, new releases, clubs and DJs, along with hundreds of gig listings and news about comedy, books, stage, film and visual arts. The Latest Music Chart at www.latest7.co.uk enables musicians to bring their work
to a wide fanbase. Acts can talk about their work on Latest Soup, the radio show hosted by Latest music editor Jeff Hemmings on commmunity station Radio Reverb 97.2FM. Bill said: “We decided on the name Latest MusicBar because we want to show our support for musicians performing in Brighton, from unsigned acts to international stars. We know people liked the name Joogleberry but it belonged to the previous owners, so we have to change it. Anyone who likes the downstairs venue can be assured that we are keeping everything you love – the only thing that’s changing is the name. “We’re going to have a musicians’ bar upstairs with a jukebox playing Brighton bands, with Brighton pictures on the walls and we're looking for bar people who can laptop DJ and serve drinks at the same time. “We will continue to host other events like our popular comedy nights, Sunday ‘roast and jazz’ and the Boom Boom Saloon nightclub. We’ve now got a licence until 2.30am so if you have a club night and you’re looking for a home, get in touch. “We will also still be available for free bookings for weddings, civil partnerships, birthdays and parties. Most importantly we want to be a big part of the community in Kemp Town and do as much as we can to keep our neighbours happy." Angi said: “Over the last year we have seen most of Brighton’s hottest new acts and many well-established bands and solo artists perform here. Our intention is to promote great music and live entertainment. If you have a hot band and want to play here, call us now and become a part of Latest MusicBar.“ Latest Musicbar will continue to be home to The Space, the monthly media arts event which later this year will host interviews with TV satirist Chris Morris, journalist Miranda Sawyer, comedian Josie Long and children's laureate Michael Rosen. Wayne Imms, creative director of The Space, said: “It’s so good to have a venue dedicated to showcasing this great city’s diverse music scene, and I look forward to seeing The Space events continue. I wish Bill and all of the staff the very best.” Latest music editor Jeff Hemmings said: “In a highly creative city like Brighton, it’s important to have a venue like Latest Musicbar, that can put on both brilliant new talent and outstanding established acts.” BIMM director Bruce Dickinson said: “Some of BIMM’s most memorable showcase events and student gigs have happened at The Joogleberry. We’re looking forward to carrying on that tradition with Latest Musicbar, and wish Bill and Angi every success.” Phil Marten of Turin Brakes, who DJs at Boom Boom Saloon every Friday and Saturday night, said: “It is such a great little venue, it’s always got a good atmosphere for live music. We always get a good crowd – we play various music from soul to rock and roll to country to funk. It is one of Brighton’s great little hidden gems." Find out what's on at Latest Musicbar at www.thelatest.co.uk/musicbar or call 01273 687171. Listen to Latest Soup at Radio Reverb 97.2FM on weekdays from 4-6pm. Look out for details of the launch party coming soon.

Festival farewell
Councillors will decide whether to build a new traveller site this week. Brighton and Hove City Council's cabinet will meet on Thursday (31 July) to decide whether a 14-pitch site should be built in Sheepcote Valley. The cabinet has been criticised for scheduling the matter at a special meeting, in which members of the public are not allowed to speak. The Government has given Brighton and Hove City Council £140,000 to spend on business development. Some of the money will be spent on preparatory work to redevelop the Brighton Centre and to train young people to enter the construction, tourism and digital media industries. A young chef who won a job at Aldo Zilli's Brighton restaurant at MyHotel, Jubilee Square has left his job after just a week. Former City College Brighton and Hove student Lewis Birch, 18, won the post after cooking a lemon, chilli and courgette pasta dish for the celebrity chef. Mr Zilli said the teenager could not handle the pace of a professional kitchen.
Incinerator protest Latest 7
Protesters who spent nearly 40 hours 60ft up a crane will appear in court next week. The six men, part of Stop Incineration Now!, were arrested when they left the machinery at North Quay, Newhaven on Wednesday afternoon (23 July). They carried out the stunt after a High Court judge ruled that the incinerator, which Brighton and Hove City Council and East Sussex County Council want to build at the site, can go ahead. Seven campaigners scaled the crane belonging to waste contractor Veolia at 4am on Tuesday 22 July and perched in a giant net. One left on Wednesday morning to go to the toilet. The others came down at 6.30pm. They have been charged with aggravated trespass and are to appear at Lewes Magistrates' Court next
Wednesday, 6 August. Three other men and one women arrested on the first day of the protest are due in court tomorrow (Wed 30 July) and a second woman has been bailed pending a decision. The protesters were supported by a group of adults and children demonstrating close to the site. Their spokeswoman Francesca Corvino, a 27-year-old mother from Woodingdean, said: “This was non-violent direct action as a last ditch attempt to force this issue into the public eye. It poses a real threat to public health so close to where people are living.” Chief Inspector Natalie Carron of Sussex Police welcomed the peaceful resolution to the protest and said it was fortunate that no one had been injured. She said: “We don't take sides. Ultimately, we will deal with unlawful acts.“

LATESTNEWS Phil Mills welcomes a lifeline for elderly nurses on the brink of losing their homes
Nurses needs latest 7
There’s light at the end of the tunnel for retired nurses who only nine months ago feared their cottages might have to be sold and they would have to find new homes. A charity read of their plight and has now offered to take on the running of John Howard Cottages in Roedean Road, Brighton, thereby allowing the 20 ex-nurses to stay put and live out their lives in peace. Senior executives from Careways Trust, a charity which runs homes for the elderly, met with residents and said rents will have to rise to pay for urgent repairs but he stressed their only purpose was to maintain the status quo and run the homes as they are. Many of the nurses will make formal replies to the proposal within the next week but some have already given a cautious welcome. Pam Hanney, 79 and a nurse for 35 years, said: “This seems the best and frankly the only option left open. Rejecting it will throw us back into uncertainty.“ Pam in her The Royal College of Nurses, trustees nursing days of the homes’ charity, which owns the cottages, told residents last November how it was running out of money to maintain the homes and, at the last resort, might have to sell them off and help tenants find new homes. MPs expressed concern and almost 400 people signed a petition demanding the RCN find an alternative solution and keep the nurses in their homes. Janet Davies, the RCN’s director of nursing, admitted during the latest meeting: “We handled this very badly,“ but stressed, “our first priority is to keep you in your homes”. She said the Careways proposal was now the best solution and if they, the RCN and the Charity Commission approved it, then the transfer could occur before Christmas. Careways Trust, a Sussex-based registered charity, has been running homes for the elderly for 50 years. Its chairman Don Lonsdale told the John Howard residents: “We are aware of the traumatic time you have had and we want to steady the ship.“ Craig Harris, Careways’ chief executive, said: “We realise the unsettling period you have gone through – and if we take over then your wishes will be paramount and you will have a real say in how you wish the homes to be run.” He explained £50,000 would have to be borrowed

“Residents told how betrayed, upset and insecure they felt“ by Careways in the first year for urgent repairs and rents would rise to pay for this, but only in line with what residents could expect to receive through state benefits.” Residents told how betrayed, upset and insecure they felt and wanted guarantees they would not be forced to move. Mr Harris said no landlord could ever offer a ‘home for life‘ guarantee but said residents were protected by the 2004 Housing Act. He said Careways did not see the cottages as a way of making a fast profit. He said Careways first learned about the nurses’ plight by reading about it in a national newspaper, something the RCN had not wanted. Their representatives last November advised residents not to speak to the Press. Mr Harris said he wanted to reassure the residents: “We are here because we think we can help. We have your well being at heart.”
Bones revealed Bones, thought to be from a young woman buried thousands of years ago have turned out to be from a sheep which died only a few hundred years ago. Archeologists digging on the site on the Downs near Brighton thought they had uncovered a Stone Age grave. The bones were first uncovered by workmen installing a bench seat. Police were called in and the remains were first thought to be human and dating back up to 3000 years. Volunteers excavated the site and uncovered what they first believed were the remains of a teenage girl who, it was
suspected, had died delivering a stillborn baby. There was no human skull; instead they found a
sheep’s head, leading them to think they had discovered an ancient burial ritual. After further tests, Greg Chuter, assistant county archaeologist for East Sussex County Council, said: “We’ve now determined the bones to be from a sheep and a lamb, probably buried hundreds rather than thousands of years ago. “We have uncovered some interesting pieces of pottery during the dig so it has been a useful exercise.”

Dani – voice of the people? Congratulations to Dani for her excellent diary piece last week on the deaths of British service personnel (I would have written earlier but a holiday meant I’ve only just caught up with last week’s issue). I thought her remarks were thought provoking, incisive and intelligent and I totally agree with her sentiments. She’s right, war doesn’t solve problems. I have followed Dani’s diary for quite a while and have been impressed with her increasing insights into life. As she has got older, her thoughts have matured and I now make a point of looking at her column before anything else. More strength to her writing arm! Yours sincerely, Christopher Ralls
Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton on his superlative performance in winning the German Grand Prix. After a solid and mature performance at Silverstone in the wet, he showed he can be victorious in the more level playing field that is a dry track. The set-up of the McLaren is suited to damp asphalt, but Hamilton was over a minute ahead of runner-up Nelson Piquet Jr in perfect conditions. This shows that the McLaren team is a harmonious entity at the moment and is testament to the skill and newfound maturity of the young driver from Hertfordshire.The bravery of Hamilton and his competitors is in stark contrast to the self-serving soap opera that is the relationship between Max Mosley and Bernie Ecclestone. The relationship between Mosley, son of British Fascist and friend of Hitler, Oswald Mosley, and Ecclestone, referred to vaguely as ‘F1 supremo’, is littered with fallings out. The latest concerned Mosley’s sexual peccadillos in a Chelsea dungeon. This wasn’t the first example of tension in their friendship. Many relationships are nurtured by understanding and gifts. And who wouldn’t appreciate being given a 100-year contract for the commercial rights to Formula One, as Mosley recently gave to Ecclestone. It has been apparent for years the power Ecclestone wields over F1. His long-running feud with the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) came to head this month with the announcement that the British Grand Prix will be moved from Silverstone, the BDRC’s headquarters, to Donington Park. Ecclestone has denigrated former BDRC president and racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart’s mental health and criticised the track. A £30million pit and paddock area, as part of a multi-million pound Silverstone redevelopment did little to placate Ecclestone. Silverstone has been criticised for its basic infrastructure, but has improved massively in recent years – the A43 is no longer a country lane, for example. It appears nonsensical that a quickly, and expensively, improving Silverstone should be shunned for a Donington still in an immature state regarding infrastructure. Damon Hill president of the BDRC said: “It seems odd to give the race [the British Grand Prix] to a circuit where there’s more work to do than here.” And who is financing Donington’s £100million redevelopment? The anonymity of this shadowy investor will do little to ease the fears of F1 fans and looks too late to get Donington in fit state in time for 2010. “We wanted a world-class centre for Formula 1 in Britain. The major development plans for Donington will give us exactly that,” said Ecclestone. With Donington unlikely to be ready for 2010 one has to wonder will there be British Grand Prix at all. A get-out clause could take one fixture out of the crowded F1 circus to the emerging new economies. Mosley said: “Finally British Formula 1 fans will get the grand pix venue the deserve.” You have to wonder what he considers it is that British Formula 1 fans deserve. There may be no longer a British Grand Prix in 2011, although perhaps an Indian or Russian one instead. F1 fans are turning to MotoGP for its greater entertainment and honesty, disillusioned by the machinations of those in control of their sport. In 2011 Britain may well have, in Lewis Hamilton, the best driver in the world, but nowhere to watch him. And fans who no longer care.

Smiles all round Zara Baker finds the six-month check-up a thing of the past and welcomes a whole new wave of dentistry Once upon a time it was the place to avoid, but now more of us are spending time in the dentist chair. The modern-day dentist isn’t just a place for maintaining optimum oral care, although don’t forget that this is its main purpose. No, dentists today are known for their cosmetic treatments, making a trip to ‘the chair’ a chosen destination, and not simply a requirement. Private or NHS, you can walk into the dentists’ surgery and expect so much more. Botox or restylane? It may have nothing to do with the mouth, but these are examples of treatments offered in dentist surgeries today. A Botox injection in the face for a more youthful appearance or Restylane treatment to hydrate and plump up the skin may sound like something exclusively for the rich and famous, but the availability and falling prices of such treatments means more people are able to go for them. You can leave the dentist surgery now looking like a walking ad for Extreme Makeover or 10 Years Younger. It’s no longer about metal braces, drills and fillings. Dental practices are moving away from the stereotypical setting that many people have a phobia of and studiously avoid. A cosmetic dentist is an oasis where treatment can work wonders for one’s self confidence and self esteem. Also, it is a place people are choosing to go to. There’s a high demand for cosmetic dentists, and more dentists training, as people realise that the picture-perfect smile is achieveable. The advances in dentistry are quite astounding. Invisalign braces are a virtually invisible method of straightening teeth, making it a popular choice among adults. Where metal braces cause some discomfort and can are difficult to clean, the Invisalign braces are hygienic as they are removed when you eat. Discoloured teeth can be treated with a whitening treatment, but it’s important not to just ‘coat’ the problem. A cleaning treatment to remove plaque and stains first will leave teeth healthier and brighter. Cosmetic dentistry may make it easier to have the perfect smile but keep in mind that oral care comes first with regular brushing, flossing and mouthwash. Oh and a trip to the chair every six months too.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Discreet charm Andrew Kay is on a roll, this week at The Grosvenor Casino in Hove If you said that I lead a charmed life, in many ways, I would be hard-pressed to disagree. Life here at Fort Latest is never dull, one minute at the theatre, the next out dining, and plenty of time spent looking at fabulous homes and reporting back to our eager readers. It’s a heady world of excitement and thrills – drama, dinner and door furniture. My invitation to Brighton’s Grosvenor Casino was matched with an invitation to the Hove branch. The two are quite different. While at Brighton the clients were focused on the games, in Hove the restaurant was busy. Smart people were dressed for a night out and enjoying the discreet nature of the restaurant there. I was relieved that we had made the effort to dress for dinner, not that my guest – Ms McT – needs any prompting; she invariably looks the business. I popped on a shirt and blazer and looked, for me, fairly respectable. I know I have a tendency toward the eccentric and a quiet casino is the sort of place where I am likely to stick out like a sore thumb. The disguise worked and for once I sort of blended in, compared to Ms McT, who stood out for the simple elegance of a classic little black dress, while all around wore glitter and sequins. Hove’s Grosvenor is unusual in the chain in that it has a chef who is allowed to create his own dining experience with a menu that he designs and controls. I loved my steak at Brighton but this time we were in for a very different kind of dinner. First off let me compliment the staff who were great in a charmingly old school way. I do like waiters who know their stuff and ours certainly did. Service may have been old school but that gets full marks from me. Not that it was stuffy – far from it – no, it was simply friendly, polite, efficient and well informed. We declined drinks at the bar, as neither of us were in the mood for drinking much, and went straight to our table. The linen, glass and silverware were spotless, the water was icy cold and the butter in floral pats and not in foil wraps – how I hate them, almost as bad as sachets of condiments. The menu had a similar retro feel to it and Ms McT was torn between a chicken liver paté and a prawn starter. In the end she settled on the paté and although daunted by the scale of the portion, too large for her dainty appetite, she pronounced that it was good, as was the chutney served with it. I chose a lighter salad of asparagus and boiled egg. I was delighted to find that the eggs were soft boiled, so I could dip the asparagus into the runny yolk. If I had one complaint it would be that it was all a little too cold, but in these days of kitchen hygiene issues, too cold is better by far than room temperature, especially in the summer months. Ms McT moved on to lamb cutlets, which arrived on a bed of mashed sweet potato. Three big chops, cooked well and with meat that ‘melted’. The sweet potato mash was delicious, I pinched some – it was beautifully seasoned and of an excellent texture. I chose half a duck roasted with figs. Duck comes high on my list of choice, but too many times I have spent the evening wrestling to get the flesh off the poor bird, cooked fashionably pink, from a reluctant carcass. For me, duck on the bone needs to be well done. Here however, the chef had gone one further and cleverly avoided the trauma
If you would like to comment on this story please email andrew@thelatest.co.uk
by boning the bird, so that what arrived was a half bird, appropriately cooked. So the leg and thigh meat were tender inside and crisp outside while the breast was succulent inside and again crisp on the outside. The figs were a wonderful compliment and the jus was ‘jus’ about right, not too sweet and not too salty. Half a duck cooked in this way is more than enough for one person, whereas half a duck on the bone is only just enough due to the reluctance of the beast to ‘render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s‘. A side dish of good sauté potatoes was hardly touched and although I made a decent attack on my side dish of well cooked vegetables, Ms McT failed to eat her greens. To be honest, we both simply loved the scale of the portions; if retro means a good sized dinner and not a doll’s portion then this place wins hands down. We both had a glass of Pinot Grigio and I went a step further with a glass of red with the duck. By the time it came to dessert, Ms McT had declared herself sated. I persuaded her to share crepes suzette with two spoons. The pancake pudding was delicious, if not quite suzette, and Ms McT managed one of the three pancakes to my two. She did not, however, go for the side dish of good vanilla ice cream. The pancakes need to have been bathed in a sweet booze-infused orange sauce and set fire to really, but this was a pretty good pudding all the same. Coffee was good and strong and came with the same charm as the rest of the meal. In the background, the ambient noise of casino was there, with the gentle shuffle of a deck of cards and the spin of a wheel and the machines seemed toned down. What a great place to hide away and eat well too. Membership is required and for that you will need photo ID. Grosvenor Casino, Albany Mews, 28 Fourth Avenue, Hove, BN3 2PQ. Call: 01273 720261. Opening hours: 3pm–3am every day. Open until 4am Fri and Sun.

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.latest7.co.uk Battles Battles’ second Brighton visit was never going to be anything but amazing. A sold out Concorde swells to this blisteringly danceable fusion of rock, metal, jazz and electronica as the visionary US super group triumph once again. Surprisingly, tonight’s big successes aren’t the singles ‘Tonto‘ or ‘Atlas‘ (although they are great), but the trip-hoppy ‘Leyendecker‘ and plain trippy early EP release ‘Tras‘, which grinds along infectiously. Sticksman John Stanier’s kit (complete with madly high cymbal) is centre stage, highlighting rhythm’s overwhelming importance to his band. As Gloria Estefan might say (sorry, Gloria), the rhythm’s gonna get you, and sure enough, tonight, it spares no one. Concorde 2, 15 July ✌✌✌✌ Nick Aldwinckle

behaviour on is entertaining as a premise behind this haphazard collection of tales, haphazard only because this is a preview and not complete, plus – he was late. An enjoyable night of top notch laughter. Komedia Studio, 11 July ✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle
Richard Herring – The Headmaster’s Son A disorganised enchantment from the start, Herring turned up ten minutes late, saying how he’d told his father only that afternoon that he was never late for any gigs. He is, he says, a bit of a tosser. Grasping at straws for a way to make this not his fault Herring decides that his hitherto wellremembered idyllic childhood must be to blame in general, being the headmaster’s son in specific. And so we begin. Herring is a charming storyteller, poking fun at his younger self with diary extracts and random memories. His good-natured resentment at not having a bad childhood to blame his adult
HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Crown Matrimonial Royce Ryton’s drama about the abdication of Edward VIII could have been dry. The language and sentiments displayed are of a time long gone. But that is the heart of the story and how timely now. Run in parallel, the story of David Windsor, torn by his love for twice divorced Wallis Simpson and his duty to serve as king, with the story of Charles Windsor, his failed marriage and his love for a divorced woman and the play has a renewed poignancy. Patricia Routledge leads an excellent cast with a polished and dignified performance as Queen Mary, allowing the humour to speak for itself and never once clowning – a thing that she can do very well. Rufus Wright plays a passionate King Edward VIII, tinged with real despair. Darlene Johnson as the Countess of Airlie, is perfect as a humane voice of reason. Above all this excellent production highlights that at one time both the government and the nation truly cared about the royal family and now, frankly, who gives a damn. Theatre Royal Brighton, 15 July

The Umbrella Show This Edinburgh preview provided an hour of top quality stand-up from a trio of up-and-coming Brighton comedians. Paul McCaffrey provided an energetic kick-off to the night with a torrent of observational gags flowing into more endearingly selfdepreciating personnel tales. Sam Stone adopted a darker tone contrasting her own neurotic quirks against more esoteric subjects like disappearing bees and concluding with an a cappella song drawing it all together. Finally dry, cuddly, hangdog, Dan Allen closed with a gagfuelled story of his life. Very funny, and packed with human interest, he ended with some subtle callbacks giving a satisfying feeling of resolution. Which was then swiftly punctured for comic effect. Ace. The Cella Bar, 16 July ✌✌✌✌ Jim Holland
Rising Styles Block Party As part of the week-long Brighton hip-hop festival, the beachside block party was immense: Skinnyman, Blak Twang, Million Dan, Emmanuel Jal and Brighton’s Enlish as well as the Slip Jam B crew. Skinny came on with guests from Birmingham and Manchester (Meanie) and blew us away with quick-fire, coruscating and incisive lyrics which put the rise in street violence squarely at Gordon Brown’s door (Iraq/Afghanistan cited as influences) and not hiphop’s or gangsta. The hard-hitting, haunting, ‘I’ll Be Surprised’ off Council Estate of Mind (2004) took audience participation to new levels. Previously, Jal, the former Sudanese child soldier, had brought a lively, conscious-reggae edge to the day, which was superseded by the scintillating hip-hop of Million Dan and clearly dischuffed, Blak Twang, whose set was cut dead at 8.30pm.

A laughing matter
Write club John Davies looks at the eclectic literary works of former biker, punk and goth, Joolz Denby
Victoria Nangle says that shocking can be funny, but only if it’s done with care and intelligence It’s always a little annoying when I go along to what I like to call an ‘emperor’s new clothes’ gig. One where everyone else is howling with laughter and I’m just holding my head in bemusement and confusion. It’s not that I’m easily shocked, more that I’m easily disappointed. After the hype of all of these people liking a comic, I’m a bit sad that I just don’t get it, and a part of me thinks that they shouldn’t either. I’m not advocating censoring all of the comics that I don’t like. Admittedly I tend to find something funny about most comedians, and there are some acknowledged greats that I only consider to be so-so with a lot of hot air thrown in, but I expect more from a home crowd of regular comedy-goers than to be impressed with something a little bit racey and a little bit racist. If you’re going to slate Bernard Manning as the devil incarnate why should you be happy with another narrowminded comic just because he’s younger and looks good in his Levi’s?
“I can’t abide the lazy comedian who just says something in order to be offensive” There are a lot of very good shock comics out there. What makes them very good, apart from their ability to make an audience roar with laughter, is that they’ve thought about their topic. Just as I have respect for the thought-out politician with a view I disagree with and have no time for the knee-jerk opinion that might coincidentally be the same as mine, I love to see the so-called ‘offensive’ comics on the current circuit and can’t abide the lazy comedian who just says something in order to be offensive. Find the element of truth from an active mind as Jim Jeffries resents being considered a rapist simply because of his gender, Reg D. Hunter admires a psychopath’s woodwork skills and many more. They’ve sat down and these thoughts have engaged and pulled around inside their brains. They’ve whittled their ideas like a good ole boy sitting on his front porch making some elusive creature out of the bit of wood they found out back. They don’t revert to stereotypes in any of their stories and they don’t abuse to get a laugh from the shock value, in the same way a swear word would’ve done in bygone times. So I’m sitting at a gig and I just don’t get why everyone around is laughing. Yes, the guy is passably talented in that you can see he’s worked on his performance and paced it well. He’s polished his movements, his voices and every other part of his show except the quality of his material, which shows it up all the more. I feel like that teacher you hated when you brought your report card home. You hand it over knowing what those judged words will be. “Could do better”.

In their own words: “Tight Lip was created by The Hammett Story Agency – Jay Clifton and Sam Collins – as a different kind of literary night.” Now the event is coordinated by a team of six dedicated literati, who have set up a season of monthly events supported by the Arts Council. Their guest on Sunday August 15 is someone genuinely ‘different’ – Joolz Denby, described by one of her friends as looking like “a retired member of the Women’s Auxiliary SAS.” This is the latest persona for Denby whose previous incarnations include biker, punk and goth, all of which have provided ample inspiration for this writer, poet, spoken-word artist, photographer, tattooist and illustrator. Denby is an award-winning novelist. Her debut novel Stone Baby (HarperCollins) won the Crime Writer’s Association New Crime Writer of the Year and was shortlisted for the John Creasey Award. She was also awarded the audio book industry’s prestigious Earphone Award (USA) for her recording of Stone Baby. Her third novel, Billie Morgan (Serpent’s Tail) was shortlisted for the 2005 Orange Prize and also the CWA Dagger in the Library award. She is still surprised at her crime writing credentials and prefers to be seen as a cross-genre writer and poet, working outside conventions of the typically ‘commercial’ novel. Joanne Harris (of Chocolat fame) rates Joolz: “This author just gets better and better... She has an enviable ability to portray real people and real places with verve, poetry and passion.” Another critic, in praise, described Joolz as having “embraced the gutter”. Joolz lives in Bradford, from whose university she recently received an honorary D.Litt. But she was born in Essex and brought up in Portsmouth; “A child of a stony beach.” She has very happy memories of Hayling Island and her southern sojourn and recognises that while many southern writers misrepresent the north, plenty of northern writers return the favour to the south. A divide there certainly is and she finds herself on the borderland between the two. Aged nine she was a poetry prodigy and her work was sent to Ted Hughes. He gave her all the usual good advice for young writers: “Keep it simple, try not to write about yourself, really look at the world and try to see what’s going on, and stop writing about spacemen.” She’s tried to follow that advice in poetry, prose and albums – especially the bit about spacemen. She reserves a pot of bile for creative writing classes and the ‘teaching’ of writing: “Creative writing classes are the death of English literature, turning out cookie-cutter writers. They teach them to write books that will sell, not that are wonderful.” Writing is turned into an industrial process and writers into machines that make books. She accepts that talent needs nurturing but argues for dedicated mentoring. Her latest spoken word album Spirit Stories explores her core subject: “People’s internal spiritual lives, matters of conscience, love…” Her new novel Wild Thing is with her agent but she expects it may well be issued in the States before the UK. She’s now working on Midnight at the Rat and Roses – a heavily disguised retelling of the Orpheus myth. No stranger to Brighton, Joolz has read at The Lift and The Zap, and has appeared here on tour with New Model Army. It’s good to see Tight Lip celebrating this child of the south.
Coming up Tight Lip new series: Sunday August 15, 8pm, The Permanent Gallery, 20 Bedford Place, Brighton, BN1 2PT. £4 on the door. Friday September 19t, 8pm, The Permanent Gallery, David L. Hayles (The Suicide Kit, Cannon Fodder). For more information visit: www.tightlip.co.uk.

Mother love Jeffrey Solomon’s award winning one-man show comes to Brighton No one comes out alone. Mother/Son is Jeffrey Solomon’s semi-autobiographical oneman play inspired by his relationship with his mother, whose struggle towards understanding and accepting her gay son – from first terrified visit to a support group for parents of gay children to marching with him in a pride parade – forms the basis of this poignant and hilarious play. The production was a critical hit in the States and in London’s OffWest End and features Solomon as both mother and son in a performance Gaydar Nation calls, “Amazing, riveting and moving!” Mother/Son premiered at the HERE Arts Center in New York City, and has toured the U.S. at such venues as the Provincetown (MA) Meeting House Theater, the Penguin Rep in Stony Point NY, Theatre J. in Washington D.C., Princeton University, and Chicago’s Bailiwick Repertory, where his performance was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award Citation for Best Actor.

Double bill Two great plays, one great cast at Worthing’s Connaught Theatre From the producer of gripping thrillers Framed and Strangers on a Train and the sell-out productions of Bedroom Farce and Hobson’s Choice, in association with Worthing Theatres, comes a truly delicious summer treat. Termed ‘Summer Playhouse’, and introducing Worthing Theatres’ new Autumn Drama Season, the programme opens with two sensational plays. The UK premiere of Deadly Game, an exciting new thriller by David Foley and a sparkling new production of Noel Coward’s classic comedy masterpiece Private Lives. Deadly Game is a nerve-shredding, intricately plotted thriller, full of twists, turns and double crosses. Hidden agendas, devious plans and treachery of the highest degree combine in this exciting play. Tracing the tale of a society jeweller whose past makes an unprecedented reappearance in one dramatic turn, this play first premiered in the US where it was nominated for the prestigious Edgar Award, Deadly Game will have you riveted to your seat until the very end. Private Lives, Noel Coward’s classic comedy of quicksilver sparring and rapier sharp wit is daringly hilarious and elegantly seductive. Two divorcees meet by chance in 1930, to see their passion reignited. This Summer Playhouse shares a fantastic star cast across both plays. Steven Pinder and Kevin Pallister star in both Deadly Game and Private Lives and are best known for their long running roles in Brookside and Emmerdale respectively. In Deadly Game they are joined by Karen Drury, best know for her role as Steven’s long-suffering wife in Brookside. In Private Lives they are joined by established stage actress Georgina Sutton and newcomer Emily Pennant-Rae. Deadly Game is written by David Foley, an up and coming American Playwright who has been hailed as ‘a rich new find’ by the New York Post. Different, but both truly remarkable, these two superb stage productions are played out with passion and keenness that will give you something to rave about this August! Deadly Game is showing from Tuesday 12 to Saturday 16 August and Private Lives from Tuesday 19 to Saturday 23 August Box Office 01903 206 206 or visit www.worthingtheatres.co.uk

Donkey Punch (18)
Dir: Oliver Blackburn Clubbing gets bloody in this sweaty little mess of a film. After meeting at a nightclub in a Mediterranean resort, seven young adults decide to continue partying aboard a luxury yacht in the middle of the ocean. But when one of them dies in a freak accident it leads to a ruthless fight for survival. A hectic mix of bikinis and blood, booze and bludgeoning, sex and slashing, this is murder at sea with a hot but dumb cast and a pulsating soundtrack. The film like the title is a dirty little act. Showing at Odeon
ROH: The Sleeping Beauty (TBC) Dir: Ross MacGibbon With music by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa this live rendition of Sleeping Beauty is astonishing. Recorded by the BBC in December 2006 to coincide with the company’s 75th anniversary, Monica Mason and Christopher Newton have created a new production based on the Sergeyev/De Valois/Messel production from 1946. In this classic ballet, Princess Aurora is cursed by the evil fairy Carabosse and is fated to die after pricking her finger on a spindle. Wonderful if flighty stuff.

FILM
Amazing grace Isabella Formisano talks exclusively to director Tom Kalin about his new film Savage Grace Do you feel in that you have gained useful experience in the 15 years that have passed between Swoon and Savage Grace I did, yes. I think that producing movies gave me a different perspective in terms of how to make films. I developed two feature films as a writer and director that didn’t happen. One was about Patty Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe, the rock star and photographer, and another was about this rock band called The Monks, that were five American GIs living in Germany. Neither of those projects happened, so I never intended to make Swoon and Savage Grace as two movies back to back. They’re very connected in terms of the content of them; they have different stories, but they both deal with very wealthy American families and the relationship between sex, power and crime. It was great coming back. Were there times when you got scared at the thought of people’s reactions, or does that excite you? I think it is exciting. In this film I was always aware, especially when we shot those sequences in London, which were the most powerful and disturbing part. We fortunately got the story to work up to this moment, which was so helpful for Julianne and Eddie [Redmayne], who got to have all the experiences leading up to these three days of very, very intense filming. And those scenes, especially for the audience, are very, very difficult to watch – but even to shoot they were difficult. Did you find audience reaction to be different in each country? They are! In strongly Catholic countries especially, there was a very shock reaction. And in America we tend to be a funny country about sexual representation. I think in general in Europe there’s a more mature reaction to it, and the in the United States people are still troubled by what I’m putting on screen and why I’m putting it on screen. Do you get nervous at what people might say? After a year, I’ve become confident with the film because, well it was like reading the press today – some of the journals hated the film, but read The Guardian review, it’s amazing! You get the sense that you’ve made a movie that’s divided people, some small, some big reactions, until you’ve become confident and secure with the film – I’m very proud.
Also showing… A quick look at what’s on this week The Dark Knight (12A) Dir: Christopher Nolan The only real contender for Indy’s crown of most-anticipated blockbuster this year is, of course, the return of Mr Bruce Wayne, aka Batman. Christopher Nolan returns to helm the sequel to his stunning superhero reboot Batman Begins as Heath Ledger creeps out Christian Bale’s Bats in the role he’ll be remembered for – none other than archnemesis The Joker. A stellar cast bolsters proceedings with Michael Caine as butler Alfred, Aaron Eckhart as conflicted DA Harvey Dent, Gary Oldman as Chief Gordon and Maggie Gyllenhaal as love interest Rachel Dawes. Ledger’s tipped for an Oscar for his haunting turn in the role rumoured to have pushed him over the edge before his tragic demise, so expect queues around the block for this classy comic-book adaptation. Showing at Odeon, Cineworld, Duke of York’s and Worthing Hancock (12A) Dir: Peter Berg Will Smith plays alcoholic antihero Hancock, who, after a series of high-profile
embarrassments, hires Jason Bateman’s PR person to help improve his public image. This film’s been a long time coming with various darker, more serious versions of the script rejected in favour of the current Hancock‘s knockabout tone. With Charlize Theron as the woman both men want to be with, this is a fresh, funny send-up with Smith looking like a memorable antihero. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Was Julianne Moore your first choice to play Barbara? She was the only person I could think of in this role! Did you know her beforehand? I had met her through the producer of Far From Heaven and Safe – Christine Vachon, who produced Todd’s [Haynes] first film, and I’ve known Todd since the mid ‘80s, so I met Julianne twice: once in Safe, and once in Far From Heaven. She’s done a lot of period films and played lots of different characters. But this is a different role. Barbara is such an angry, narcissistic, volatile character. Why is there no mention of actual mental illness in the film? I wanted to avoid clinically trying to explain something that was very mysterious. If you are telling the story from the perspective of two people who gradually go mad, then mad people don’t think of themselves as mad, necessarily. In the film, there are clues that there is something wrong with Tony; some of his voiceovers show he is very disturbed, he writes letters to his father and goes and buries them in the garden – it doesn’t make sense. But by the time you get to the end of the film you realise, although they are dressed properly and speak like intelligent, normal people, what they are doing is completely mad. There’s always something compelling about true stories but would you ever like to direct a fictional story? It’s funny because the two things I’m now developing are fictional – one of them I’m not ready to talk about yet because I’m still pursuing the rights to the novel – but it’s exciting because I’m working on character and story from a different perspective and not having to deal with real characters. As a director you always want to have a new challenge.
Mamma Mia! (PG) Dir: Phyllida Lloyd A young woman searches for her real father whilst singing along to Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia and other hits by Swedish super troopers Abba. Meryl Streep plays the kookie mum with Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård and Pierce Brosnan as potential dads, goodnaturedly sending up their serious thesp and action reps. The long-running and everpopular stage musical finally makes its way onto the big screen in exuberant, highly acclaimed style. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Worthing
Wall-E (U) Dir: Andrew Stanton Pixar hit pay dirt again with this lovingly rendered cross between ‘70s eco sci-fi Silent Running and ET: The Extra-Terrestrial. Garnering huge acclaim, the CGI-animation giants could have easily opted for another re-run of theToy Story formula, but instead opt for this still cutesy but ultimately meditative love story. Ben Burtt voices the titular cleaning robot (though there’s barely a word uttered, with expressive noise instead) charged with sorting out a polluted Earth after humanity’s jumped ship. Showing at Odeon, Cineworld and Worthing Nick Aldwinckle
Kung Fu Panda (PG) Dir: Mark Osborne, John Stevenson When clumsy panda Po (Jack Black) appears to have all the markings of ‘The Chosen One’, the Kung Fu masters must train him before it is too late. Dustin Hoffman plays Po’s reluctant teacher, Angelina Jolie as Master Tigress and Jackie Chan as Master Monkey. Ian McShane is the voice of the villainous Tai Lung. While probably nowhere near the league of Wall-E, this CGI animation should be worth watching if only for what’s described as the cartoon reincarnation of Jack Black’s character from High Fidelity.

Central to the exhibition is Palace (2008) a largescale wooden sculpture which takes the form of a Western saloon bar. Like a film set, the 1880s style Western facade is deliberately false and features five words – wealth, belief, land, mind and life.

All monies raised will be going to The Sussex Beacon.
State of alert Hardcore punk icon and former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins spoke to Nick Aldwinckle about his upcoming spoken word tour It’s hard to believe Henry Garfield, better known as Henry Rollins, has been putting the world to rights for nearly three decades now. Since fronting influential Californian hardcore band Black Flag from 1981 until 1986, Rollins’ impact on alternative music has been huge, with hundreds of bands citing that band and his other, the Rollins Band, as a key inspiration. A true rock Renaissance man, the now nearly 50-year-old divides his time between spoken word gigs, writing, hosting US radio and TV shows and acting. Latest 7 spoke to Rollins about his upcoming spoken word tour. How’s the radio and TV work been going? I’ve been doing Harmony in My Head, the radio show, for about five years now and it’s fun! It’s the lowest impact; the easiest, lowest pressure gig I’ve got. The TV show’s a lot more difficult as it’s visual. This year, I’ve done three documentaries, too, for the Independent Film Channel and narrated for a documentary about world famine.

Are you looking forward to the European tour? I always have a good time there. Last year I did five Edinburgh shows and I asked if I could come back. I’m used to not being asked back, so was excited and I’m doing eight shows! The UK audience is quick and you can be hard on them. You can hit them hard with jokes and messages and they don’t go ‘oh, you’re hurting my feelings’! You seem influenced by Bill Hicks. Are you a fan? Yeah, but you can’t compare yourself to Bill Hicks. That’s like saying ‘yeah, me and Bruce Lee’! Bill Hicks was one of those rare guys who inspired a lot of people. Imagine if he’d been around for the last eight years? I’d give a year of my life if we could have seen him ride roughshod over the current US Government. Can Barack Obama change anything? I don’t think he’ll be president. We’re getting McCain. I can’t tell you how much I want to be wrong about that. If Obama gets in, he’ll have four years before a government bullet takes him out. He’ll have to undo eight years of wacky CIA hijinks in every Middle East country and comedians will have a boring four years. Are you going to release any more music? I don’t know what I can do at 47 without reiterating what I’ve done before and it becomes ritual. I’ve done it so much I’m in no rush to do it again. The Rollins Band reunion in 2006 felt like senior year again and made me think differently about the old songs. I love those songs, but going out and doing them at my age makes me feel like I’ve got nothing else to do. People like Mick Jagger underachieve when they play the same old songs all the time. I don’t want to rest on my laurels. I like the idea of

writing with new people I don’t know, but I don’t know what I can offer really. The talking shows, I can change from night to night, so it’s more interesting to me than singing ‘Louie Louie’ again. Do you think your personality obscures your work? The two go hand in hand, and I don’t think my work should be taken with any great degree of seriousness. Is the public Rollins different to the real Henry? Sir, that’s a very good question, because I honestly don’t know. People send me my interviews and I just don’t read them. The last thing I want to read about is me, and the last thing you want to see when you’re nearly 50 is a photo of yourself starting to look like your dad. I’ve got a handful of laps left around the track before I need my John McCain adult diaper, so I’ve got to make the most of my time. Henry Rollins, Komedia, Wednesday 13 August

Jaime ‘til dawn Jaime Pettit checks out some revivalist American clubbing subculture, daddio It was like a detention hall, not the sweet social group clashing one of The Breakfast Club but the true detention stylings; blank hall with leather decked inhabitants. Guys lookin’ dangerous in greaser outfits, slicked pompadours and sporting some serious ink. With dolls oozing sexuality in no short supply, in Bettie Page inspired threads. The range was huge from 18 to 70, and from vintage rockabilly attire to modern fashions. No imitations accepted. Rockabilly is a true subculture with an inheritance in the 50s lifestyle, donning a vom-atron Hawaiian shirt is like sitting on a lighthouse and setting down a sign saying ‘Fakesville – this way!’ You do not need to dress (up) to impress. Calling air traffic control, we need some direction out here... Couples elegantly swung and twirled while crazy cats created the image of a silent movie, indulging in epic invisible rodeos; bounding and bucking in space occupying sweat-fests as surrounding groups were air-copulating. All set to a backdrop of energy-riddled 50s rock ’n’ roll, surf, red hot rockabilly and 60s garage. While the speed-injected sprites bounded on, we took to the bustling bar, where friendly convo meets plastic pints. My stupified grinning at the grown up conflab was interrupted by a dinner date with a quirky twist on the stage. It has been a while since I attended said event (we won’t mooch on this!), but I don’t think I consumed spoonfuls of fire or lit the hat of my partner. I met a girl called Daisy, she really drove me crazy – not the tale of rock-inspired love at first sight, but the only lyrics I intimately knew due to their appearance on the game Singstar, for which I kicked around a sad burgeoning obsession! Not the ultimate example of good music either, I realise. I shall clear it up; the music was mostly cool, I am not. It snaps a big bunch o’ long green so, an elaborate social or a jumping jaunt?
The Black Seeds Hot 8 Brass Band New Orleans honkin’ brass band with a penchant for covers such as their epic version of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Sexual Healing’, and a brass sound that also incorporates jazz, funk and hip hop. Came to prominence following Hurricane Katrina, they are now a staple of Europena festivals. Wednesday 30 July, Digital Leafcutter John + A Scandal in Bohemia + Birengine + Junkboy Curated by local six-piece multi-instrumentalists A Scandal in Bohemia, with SoundCirque, expect delicate experimental folk, electronica and dramatic soundscape rock. Thursday 30 July, Komedia
Bonde Do Role Much better live than fellow Brazilians CSS, this party-starting gang actually split up after their last Brighton show, only to reform recently with a few new members. Blending metal samples with funky dance floor grooves, the line between live music and clubbing is blurred even further. Wednesday 30 July, Audio Black Seeds New Zealand eight-piece having been touring the world over the last few years, winning people over with their original brand of low-tempo and good-time reggae, funk, soul and dub. Live is where it really hits the spot though. Friday 1 August, Komedia Judy Collins A rare and brilliant opportunity to see one of the greats of the 60s folk movement.

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases Canada’s Martha and the Muffins came to prominence back in 1980 with their hit single ‘Echo Beach’. It was their only hit over here but one of the group’s albums Danseparc is being re-released. Unique sounding, their Talking Heads style off-beat new wave and punk funk is quite experimental in places, and works well throughout the album. A lost treasure being resurrected, from an unlikely source. James Lavelle and Pablo Clements aka UNKLE are known for their marriage of audio and visuals, this time spilling over into End Titles… Stories for Film, a collection of recordings made with various collaborators including Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, Chris Goss, James Patralli of White Denim, Abel Ferrera, Black Mountain and Gavin Clarke. Moody, filmic stuff throughout. Too long though, at over 80 minutes. Signed to the same indie label as the magnificent Yeasayer, Baltimore’s Ponytail encapsulate a far more raucous sound on their record Ice Cream Spiritual than the polished soundscapes of their label-mates. Crashing, grungy guitars smash into each other as yelping, squawking vocals balance delicately on top of this teetering mass of noise. Beneath it all, though, insanely catchy moments of guitar pogo-pop lurk with childish exuberance, suggesting where the band’s name came from. At first, dense and willfully abstract, repeated listens reveal a pounding, brilliant heart at Ponytail’s core. A collection of out-of-print singles (cleverly entitled Singles 06-07) by former frontman of The Reatards and Lost Sounds, Jay Reatard, has just been released. Borrowing more than a little from The Ramones, this second solo release by the charismatic vocalist is an incredibly infectious collection of hard-edge pop-punk. Every track’s solid gold as one of the best unsung musical heroes around keeps churning out quality tunes. Revered singer/songwriter Ron Sexsmith has been releasing heartfelt and melodic albums since his major label debut in 1995. You always get some quality songs with Ron, and Exit Strategy of the Soul contains a number of gems, once again employing his melancholic Van Morrison-esque voice to generally unfussy songs, that float along pleasantly enough. Old school electro hip hop is back in the form of The Cool Kids. The ghost of Mantronix, Run DMC, Tone Loc et al, has been resurrected via the very minimal tinny beats and throbbing synth basslines of Chuck English and Mikey Rocks. While The Bake Sale is another retro retread that seems to indicate a lack of original ideas, there can be no denying this is a fantastically conceived project, and which contains, in true old school style, very few naughty words. Finally Rosa Rex and Katy Klaw get around to releasing their Spare Parts EP under the name Peggy Sue and the Pictures (instead of The Pirates), four tracks that demonstrate their inner teen angst, brought out even more by the oh-oh-oh style singing á la Kate Nash and Regina Spektor. Lo-fi, folkpunk flavourings.

latest gay Brighton’s only weekly gay guide starts here
Party with purpose Brighton Pride is the party of the year, for everyone If you’re new in town, and have yet to experience the full thrust of an expected 150,000 people of every sexuality, race and age making their way through the city to Preston Park for the biggest free festival in Europe, then you might be in for a bit of a shock. Brighton Pride is now as set in the calendar as Christmas and New Year and it’s inspiring to think that it all started as a modest event on the Level in 1992, organised by a group of community activists called Pink Parasol. Although financially unviable because most business interests had not yet seen the potential of a local Pride festival, this event showed what could be achieved and set the standard for later years. The organisers of Brighton Pride '95 were the first to attract major sponsorship and bring on board the pubs, clubs and drag artists. After that the event went from strength to strength with Pride 2000 and 2001 reporting 60,000 visitors. These days there are eight days of summer events from Saturday 26 July to Sunday 3 August 2008, plus a special Pride winter festival in February. The parade and party in Preston Park on Saturday 2 August is expected to attract people from Brighton, Sussex, the UK and beyond reflected in this year's theme Pride Around the World. Pride is not only good news for the city's economy, bringing in an estimated £7.5million last year to hotels, shops, bars and tourist attractions. It also brings people together and is attended by the Mayor of Brighton and Hove, the city's MPs and many other dignitaries. The festival, which is driven by members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, is attended by many straight residents and their families who are proud to live in a city that celebrates diversity and embraces difference. This year is special for Pride as it is the first festival overseen by new director Lesley Burn, who is working hard to maintain strong community links and make sure the Pride
“The biggest event of the festival is the fabulous parade on Saturday 2 August, with dozens of floats proving that this is a city that knows how to party“
29 July – 4 August
Afterwards everyone flocks to Preston Park where you will find family entertainment; stalls; cabaret and music performance; bars; a fun fair and the oh so very popular and famous Wild Fruit dance tent; Women's Performance Tent and Revenge Cabaret Tent. Not everyone knows that Pride also gives thousands of pounds in grants every year to community groups working with the LGBT community. So donating money to the charity behind the festival not only helps them to throw the biggest free party of the year, it also supports small charities and organisations which rely on Pride to survive. The festival also spreads a powerful and positive message about the strength of community in our city. Images of Pride festival in Brighton are beamed all around the world. This year for the first time there is an official one day Pride conference which will hold workshops, lectures and discussions to debate the meaning of Pride. The conference, called Feelings of Pride, takes place on Friday 1 August. Email k.a.browne@brighton.ac.uk Find out the latest news about Pride events at www.brightonpride.org or pick up a Pride brochure in outlets all across the city. If you want to support Pride, send cheques payable to Pride (South East) Ltd to 6 Bartholomews, Brighton, BN1 1HG. Enjoy the party!
message is remembered all year round. It is also the largest Pride festival so far. There are hundreds of fundraising events taking place in the coming weeks not only in pubs and clubs, but in churches, schools, community centres, theatres, restaurants and even an ice cream parlour – Scoop and Crumb in East Street is selling a Pride-themed ice cream. Whether you're more at home shaking your stuff on a busy dance floor or listening to Baroque music by queer composers, there's something for you. The biggest event of the festival is the fabulous parade on Saturday 2 August, with dozens of floats proving that this is a city that knows how to party – all in the name of a good cause.

William Tells
NEWS
Will Harris considers what it is to be a true gay icon The first time I saw Amy Winehouse in the flesh I was sitting at a bar in Old Compton Street, preparing for a work event that was taking place in the club next door. Unfortunately for Amy, the preparation in question consisted of briefing three press photographers, each of them frothing at the mouth in their eagerness for a story. It was a good grounding in the price of fame that – no sooner had that trademark beehive bobbed past at eye level – I found myself alone at the bar, surrounded by abandoned tripods and half-finished pints of bitter. From the moment she strutted into view until she was obscured from sight by rampaging paparazzi, somehow the five-foot-three singer managed to fill my entire field of vision. The hair helped of course (having reached such a critical mass it warranted its own National Insurance number), but that aside, looking at this pale, impossibly fragile girl, I could tell she was well on her way to gay icon status.
“My theory is this: look at any gay icon and you’ll find a born survivor, someone with the strength to come out on top, against all the odds” Maria Jastrzebska
Whoosh! anthology Whoosh!, an anthology of queer writing John from the South East, will launch tonight McCullough (Tuesday 29 July) as part of Pride festival. Queer Writing South, which spearheaded the project, will hold a party at the Sanctuary Café, Brunswick Street East, Brighton from 7:30pm. There will be readings from contributors, poetry from Jay Bernard and music from singer songwriter Al Start and DJ Bec Chalkley. Whoosh! is the result of a year-long project funded by Awards for All and supported by Brighton and Hove Pride and literature development agency The South. Queer Writing South, led by poets Maria Jastrzebska and John McCullough, ran ten weeks of workshops at Brighton Writers’ Centre on Grand Parade. The resulting anthology, published by Pighog Press in association with Queer Writing South and The South, is a fresh, innovative and varied mix of new poetry and prose. Shaun Levin, editor of Chroma Magazine in London, described the anthology as: “A collection of new and bold queer voices from Brighton. Queer Writing South is a community that will keep growing.” Admission to tonight’s event is free of charge. For more information contact Nathan or Bec on queerwritingsouth@gmail.com.
Drag school A cabaret academy will give hopefuls the chance to learn the craft from some of the biggest names in the business. Drag star Dave Lynn and industry professionals will run the ten-week school in Charles Street club this autumn. The academy will be open to wannabe performers from all genres, from drag queens to comedians, vocalists, magicians, ventriloquists, dancers and comperes. Dave Lynn starred in Channel 4’s series Faking It, where he taught naval officer Spence Bowdler to become drag queen Britney Ferry. Since the episode was
aired in 2003, Dave has been inundated with requests to assist fledgling artists develop their acts. He held his first academy last September and it resulted in a number of professional bookings for many of the students. This year’s lessons begin in September and run every Tuesday until November. Each act will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform on stage, culminating in two fundraising performances in November for the Sussex Beacon, of which Dave is patron. The course fee is £20 per session. Visit www.davelynn.co.uk.
Icon. In its truest sense, of course, the word refers to a religious portrait or statue; a symbol people look to for guidance, inspiration, even pray to. You could argue that a gay icon shares a lot of those traits, although they are generally embodied in women with big voices, fabulous wardrobes and drug habits. Also, unlike their religious counterparts, very few of them are virgins. Take La Winehouse for example. Two years ago, nobody knew who she was – she was hardly setting gay dance floors (or interest) alight. Fast forward one hit album and poor old Amy’s been to ‘Rehab’, her old man’s been banged up for GBH, and her hairdo’s in severe danger of causing the first EU-wide hairspray shortage since Martha and the Vandellas discovered backcombing in ‘67. Yes, we know she’s no good, but that hasn’t stopped the gay community from elevating this living, wheezing train wreck into that Premier League of drug-addled divas that defines her as a true gay icon. So what is it about Amy Winehouse and co that captivates the collective gay imagination so much? My theory is this: look at any gay icon – from Whitney to Britney, from Aretha to Tina – and you’ll find a born survivor, someone with the strength and determination to come out on top, against all the odds. Perhaps these women embody icons in the truest sense after all: a symbol which gay people look to for guidance, inspiration, even pray to. Maybe, then, all we really want is someone to tell us sometimes love is a losing game, sometimes we’ll wake up alone, but eventually – in the end anyway – our tears will dry on their own.

Courtesy of Trevor Sorbie, Brighton When it comes to creating exceptional hair colour and the hottest catwalk looks for men, Anna Chapman and Kate Wilson from Trevor Sorbie in Brighton have proved they are the best in the UK, having won the L'Oréal Professionnel Men’s Image award 2008. Kate and Anna realised a lifelong career dream; to win the Men’s Image title at the world’s longest running, most stylish hairdressing competition. Here the style savvy pair reveal the thinking behind their striking image: “We wanted to create a strong, masculine look that incorporated retro 80s styling and the forthcoming catwalk trend for tartan. The pure blond colour proves that men can make a bold statement with their hair without looking too flamboyant. It’s ultra-modern, fresh and inspiring.“ Trevor Sorbie is celebrating their success by offering one lucky male Latest 7 reader the opportunity to have a catwalk-inspired hair makeover worth £200, carried out by Kate and Anna. Following an in-depth consultation, they will advise on the latest colour trends and create a fresh new look for the winner, to include a hair cut and colour. To complete the experience, the winner will also receive a goody bag packed with male grooming products to help them maintain their style at home. So, if you’re a male with hair in need of a makeover, leave it to the Trevor Sorbie team with the chance of winning this fantastic prize. All you have to do to win is tell us: Which L’Oreal award did Anna and Kate win? Trevor Sorbie, 1B Nile Pavilions, Nile Street, Brighton BN1 1HW.

Saturdays 8pm, ITV 1
SATURDAY 2
Napoleon Dynamite ★★★★★ (2004, Film4, 9pm. Dir Jared Hess) A much loved quirky comedy from Jared and Jarusha Hess about an unashamed outsider. Jon Heder was last seen donning skates with Will Farrell in Blades of Glory, but this is where he first caught the public’s eye. Beautiful, awkward teenagehood.
Bridget Jones’s Diary ★★★✩✩ (2001, BBC1, 9.20pm. Dir Sharon Maguire) Starring Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. Rom’ com’ about a neurotic thirtysomething who resolves to take control of her life once and for all. She drinks, smokes and eats too much, and falls for the wrong kind of man – passing over Mr Right for Mr Right Now.
WEDNESDAY 30
America’s Sweethearts
(2001, Five, 10pm. Dir James Wong) Incredible martial arts film starring Jet Li as an assassin travelling through parallel universes, killing off parallel versions of himself to become more powerful. There’s one left and only parallel universe cop Jason Statham to stand in his way – and the meek last Jet Li. Brilliant action sequences seeing Li battle himself.
THURSDAY 31 It has become clear that us Brits seem to thoroughly enjoy embarrassing ourselves. And the TV channels are making a mint out of it. This new singing sensation of a show (if you can call it that) is hosted by the sickly, smiling Ben Shephard and Denise Van Outen (who, if we are not all aware, has already been on Broadway in Chicago, blah blah blah). In this show the ever-willing public hope for the chance to sing to impress SAM, a computer that can tell if you are hitting all the right notes. And if you do hit all the right notes you win a prize of £50,000.
“I have that disease that means whenever I see or hear Denise Van Outen my teeth start to grind”
Snoopy Come Home ★★★✩✩ (1972, BBC2, 11.40am. Dir Bill Melendez) Everybody’s favourite beagle sets off on a journey to see sick girl Lila in hospital, joined for the first time by the yellow air hazard that is Woodstock. Proper school holidays fare here as all the familiar friends make an appearance and a careful mixture of laughter and touching emotion comes forth.
FRIDAY 1 Although I am supposed to have watched this to give it my full opinion, I can safely say that you couldn’t pay me enough to sit through all of it. I have seen the advert for it and that is quite enough! You would have thought that after all the horrendous attempts we have had of showing off our vocal talents on the likes of Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor we would have had enough of screeching our way to a big cash prize. I am, however, surprised that Ant and Dec are not involved in this somehow. They seem to radiate towards people making idiots of themselves, and nine times out of ten make mini idiots out of themselves with their over-the-top and obvious jokes and sickly sympathy for those who are, well let’s face it, crap and should know it. Can someone please explain to me the point of these shows? It’s too painful to watch and everyone in the studio will leave with less than wonderful hearing and those who get up on that stage will need a severe amount of therapy to get over the feeling of being completely humiliated whenever they open their mouths. To be honest I don’t think I could ever be convinced that this would be a good idea for a show as long as Denise Van Outen has anything to do with it. Because I have that (not uncommon) disease that means whenever I see or hear Denise Van Outen my teeth start to grind. It’s completely out of my control and happens whenever Myleene Klass turns up on TV too. But even if they had someone less irritating presenting I still wouldn’t watch it as it only seems to be a waste of time, and I’m only interested in wasting my time with shows that actually amuse me and this just makes me feel a bit ill. 38 latest 7

Jet Li’s The One ★★★★✩
Who Dares Sings!
29 July – 4 August
Mean Girls ★★★★✩ (2004, Film4, 9pm. Dir Mark Waters) Lindsay Lohan stars in Tina Fey’s comedy about the traumas of high school cliques. Conspiring to play the top of the heirarchy (The Plastics) at their own game, Lohan quickly finds out how easy it is to confuse infiltration with joining in. Barbie for one anyone?
★★★✩✩ (2001, Channel 4, 10.20pm. Dir Joe Roth) Starring Billy Crystal, Julia Roberts, Christopher Walken, John Cusack, Hank Azaria and Catherine ZetaJones. Comedy about two movie stars who, despite breaking up messily and publicly, need to get together to promote the film which they made while they were still married.
SUNDAY 3
Miss Potter ★★★✩✩ (2006, BBC1, 8pm. Dir Chris Noonan) Starring Renee Zellweger, Ewan McGregor, Emily Watson, Barbara Flynn and Bill Paterson. Whimsical drama based on the life of early twentieth century author Beatrix Potter, creator of Peter Rabbit. As a young woman Potter rails against her parents’ wishes for her to marry and settle down. Instead, she continues to write about and draw the animals she’s adored since childhood.
MONDAY 4 Green Street ★★★✩✩ (2005, ITV 10.40pm. Dir Lexi Alexander) Starring Elijah Wood. Violent drama in which an American student is expelled from college and moves to London, where he is drawn into organised football hooliganism. Loosely based on the experiences of West Ham football fans.
Spy Hard ★★✩✩✩ (1996, BBC1, 11.20pm. Dir Rick Friedberg) From the team that brought us Naked Gun and Airplane comes this spoof of all things spy, and more besides. Starring Leslie Nielsen as agent WD-40 and future Desperate Housewife Nicolette Sheridan as his KGB allie, these are the guys to save the Earth from arch villains, and save a Friday night from ever resembling anything sensible.

tuesday 29 Jonathan Ross in Search of Steve Ditko BBC2, 11.20pm Nothing can stop Jono, or so we hope when he embarks upon his quest to find one of his all-time heroes, reclusive 80-year-old American comic book artist Steve Ditko, creator of Spider-Man. From LA, to New York to Northampton, Ross is on a mission. Hope he succeeds.
Frank Skinner’s Tough Gig ITV1, 11.40pm The latest in the season of placing comics in unfamiliar surroundings and asking them to entertain sees lad-about-town Frank Skinner placed in a new-age retreat in Dorset. Can he assimilate the new culture of love, peace and mantras enough to bypass his gaudy blue norm? It’s fun finding out.
Doctor Who BBC3, 7pm Another chance to catch one of the creepiest episodes of the last series – or to catch something of the last series if you were boycotting it in protest against the surprisingly good Catherine Tate. She’s not in this episode and the Doctor is trapped, powerless and terrified on the planet Midnight. Sofa-time.

This doc tells the true tale of John Ronald ‘Butcher’ Brown, a surgeon whose illegal operations in garages, offices and motels left people with devastating results.
Jamelia: Whose Hair Is It Anyway? BBC3, 9pm Another chance to catch Jamelia’s investigation into the mystery of the weave.

friday 1 august First Cut: Saving Britney Spears Channel 4, 7.35pm No pun intended in the show’s title, but there have been so many stories about the demise of Ms Spears and more than a few people have made a quick buck of off her difficulties. Director Bruce Fletcher takes a road trip across the USA to meet them, and those trying to help.
Shark Five, 10pm The man with the missing eyebrows is back with all of his demons coming back to bite him in the backside at once. His old nemesis (everyone should have one of those) Wayne Callison gets out of clink and promptly kidnaps Stark’s daughter Julie. Not your average lawyer predicament. Nail-biting stuff.
Marc Bolan: The Final Word BBC4, 9pm Apparently this is the definitive definitive documentary on the glitter-bugged glam king. Narrated by fellow glamorpuss Suzi Quatro, this promises previously unseen concert footage and unique home movies, as well as the usual talking heads dissecting his childhood and adult hedonism. Get it on!
