I didn’t think I’d be planning Christmas by now, but I’ve already decided what I’m doing on the big day (it involves the Christmas Day swim) and now we’re thinking about our office party... Restaurants, hotels, bars and other venues have put some fabulous menus and party plans together and it’s time to get your bookings in if you want to make sure you get your first choice. To choose from the best Brighton and Hove has to offer, turn to our 14-page Christmas party guide (p19). Stomp, the energetic family-friendly show, is coming home to Brighton Dome. Find out how to get tickets on page 15. The Magners Paramount Comedy Festival is still going on – check out what we’ve made of it so far in reviews (p35) or see the line-up for the rest of the week in Victoria Nangle’s comedy listings (p36). As one festival ends, another opens... it’s the Brighton City Festival this weekend and Underworld are in town. Nick Aldwinckle talks to Karl Hyde in music news (p41). On the same page is news of another festival this weekend: Brighton’s White Night Festival, an adaptation of France’s Nuit Blanche. Make the most of the night when the clocks go back with music, midnight swimming and a street party. For the full programme, see www.thelatest.co.uk/7 Our columnists, never afraid to say what they really think, have let rip this week. On page 8, Dani rages against doctors’ surgeries and Sandra lambasts rip-off model ‘agencies‘. In books, John Davies lays into a historical novelist (p40) and in TV, Dani shows no mercy to Jamie Oliver (p48). In her column on the news page, City Council leader Mary Mears makes a stand against ITV’s plans to scale down its local news (p12). Even our letter writers are getting in on the act: one reader was not happy with a comment about northeners printed in last month’s Wave – even though it was said to one of our columnists (p14). On the same page is Latest Sport, in which Daniel Frickelton reviews Seaford Head Golf Club. In Latest Gay, the Marlborough is going back to its roots in the heart of the gay scene and one of Will’s friends is starting to question her sexuality – but is she for real? (p46) Andrew’s been spending time with the olds and, good son as he is, took them for a slap up French meal at New Steine Hotel Bistro (p16). On his stage page, Andrew talks to actor and director Tim Flavin, who is putting on The Wizard of Oz at Theatre Royal Brighton this Christmas. Find out why there’s no pantomime in the interview on page 37. Meanwhile, Alison admits that calling herself a non-smoker isn’t strictly true (p7). Write to us and let us know what you think about anything in this issue, good or bad. letters@thelatest.co.uk

Business aid Ian Wilson of local solicitors Dean Wilson Laing gives invaluable advice to the city’s thousands of small companies and employees This week: Downturns Ian Wilson is senior partner of six-partner Brighton solicitors Dean Wilson Laing and specialises in employment law. He was a parttime chairman of the Employment Tribunals for nine years. He is also a board member of The Prince’s Trust (Sussex) and a board member of The Martlets Hospice. Q: As a small employer, I am beginning to notice a downturn in work coming into the business and I want to reduce overheads. I have decided to reduce my employee’s hours and so their pay. Am I entitled to do this? A: Presuming your employees have set hours detailed within their contracts of employment these, and any other terms in the contract, can
only be changed if you and your employees agree to the change or if the contract itself contains an express term or some sort of procedure by which the terms can be varied. If your contract does contain an express term allowing you to change the contract terms, then you still need to consult with your employees before making any variations. Q: I don’t think there is power in the contract to change the terms, but as I am doing this to avoid having to make redundancies surely I am entitled just to write to my employees advising them of their new working hours? A: No you can’t, to do so would risk an Employment Tribunal case. You can make an offer to your staff setting out the new hours of work (and wage) and the employees will be free to accept your offer, either orally or in writing or by their
conduct, although ideally you want their agreement in writing. An employee will accept by way of conduct if they work the new hours. However it is dangerous to rely on acceptance by way of conduct. If you change your employee’s terms of employment unilaterally, they can bring a claim against you for breach of contract and/or unfair dismissal. Q: What if my employees don’t agree and I have to make redundancies? A: First of all, I suggest you sit down with your employees (or their representatives) and explain to them that you have a good business reason for wanting to make this change and that you are trying to avoid redundancies. Explain to them how long you expect them to have to work on reduced hours and invite them to ask any questions they have about the potential changes. See if any of them are willing to agree to a change in hours. You could decide to
dismiss the employees and reengage them on the new terms but you need to be sure that you have a good business reason for doing this and that you follow the right procedure. You should be aware that the dismissed employees can bring a claim against you for unfair dismissal, which you should be able to defend if you have followed a fair procedure and acted in accordance with the law at all times. Be aware that dismissing employees in order to re-employ them on new terms must be treated as a redundancy, even if the employees are not left out of work at the end of the day. You must therefore comply with the collective redundancy consultation procedure or risk the payment of a protective award, so you are best advised to consult a Solicitor if you choose to follow this avenue.

On Tuesday 23 September, OHSO Social hosted the festival launch party for Brighton Live 2008. Brighton Live, in association with Asahi Beer, was a five-day, live music festival featuring Brighton’s wonderful, diverse, up-and-coming local music scene. Every gig, seminar and event was free to all with this year’s festival taking in three key areas of the city. Colour-coded ‘festival zone’ maps helped music lovers to stumble around the city in a semi-orderly fashion, gobbling up as many bands and artists as they could, whilst feasting on the hospitality within the venues. Last year 20,000 people enjoyed the festival and this year more were expected. Organisers would like to thank the bands for applying to be part of it, thanks for the support from all the venues and thanks to you all for enjoying the gigs.

Swanning around Alison Swann finds she can’t quite quit the habit when alcohol’s in the mix
Dopey smoker I’ve recently realised that I’m a bit stupid. Well not completely daft, I manage to hold down a job with a relative degree of success, I have succeeded in cleaning my home on more than one occasion in the last 12 months, I know how to use a washing machine and I have even been to both Kashmir and New York – on my own. Although, when it comes to Kashmir, I timed that spectacularly well to be there in the same week that both India and Pakistan pointed their big old nuclear guns at said region and shouted “mine“. But I think that’s a whole other column entitled: “luck, and my lack of it”.
“The conversation, at one point, turned to how weird it was to be socialising and have people around you smoking” The reason I am stupid is because I continue to tell people and myself that I don’t smoke. When I quite clearly do. That is rather like me saying: “No, I am not female!” when with breasts as big as mine, I quite clearly am. There is literally no getting away from them. No, here I am saying loud and clear, I am a social smoker, a ‘because-I-have-a-drink-in-my-hand‘ type smoker. I realise I am not alone in this condition. I bet, if there was a scientific experiment carried out, which could measure the amount of smoke that went up into the atmosphere as beer and wine starts to descend into the collective drinking pot, there there would be a disproportionate number of people smoking simply because they have a drink in their hand. Why is this? Are we all so feeble-minded that we can’t control ourselves when alcohol is in hand?
Okay, clearly there are issues in terms of excess in that department for some people. But I don’t mean excessive drinking. There should be breathalyzers on wine glasses for people who suddenly feel the overriding urge to spark up a Marlborough Light – because it always is a Marlborough Light; it looks so pretty with a glass of Pinot Grigio. I was told a zillion years ago by my doctor that, “not everyone dies of smoking Alison, but quite a lot do and you won’t get away with it.“ Well, I thought, that wasn’t a very nice thing to say as we shared a bottle of white wine and she offered me a light. But I took it on board and promptly ignored her. Okay, not completely. In the last year I have gone from being a 20-a-dayer to a none-at-all a dayer, as long as I am on my own. I’m quite happy to spend a week without any such props. I can even map my way through Brighton with a certain knowledge that I don’t want to spend too much time on London Road because there are a disproportionate number of people smoking there in the daytime and always smoking those really ropey fags, the ones that really mean business, the ‘let’s not bother with a filter and just shovel the chemicals straight to the danger zone‘ fags. At my recent birthday celebration I noticed less and less of my friends are smoking and the ones that did were welcome to smoke in my flat on the night of the party. The conversation, at one point, turned to how weird it was to be socialising and have people around you smoking. It made for a relaxed atmosphere, one in which people seemed happier. This could explain why pubs are emptier and why the homebound social life will be a big thing for years to come. Or it could just mean I’m not the only stupid one around here. Anyway, I’m not going to say ‘I won’t do that again‘ type things, because you can be sure that I will probably get caught tripping over and accidentally falling on top of a lit cigarette, as soon as I do. But I sure am going to have a go at not being quite so stupid and saying I’m not doing something when I quite clearly am.

Dani’s diary
Sandra Omo wants to make it very clear how to avoid getting ripped off
Dani is making friends down at the doctor’s surgery
The ability to be able to tell a genuine agency from a fraudulent one is a must-have for every model who does not want to be scammed. Models are talking about this, and agencies are warning their models to beware of such scams, but how many people can actually tell or smell a scam before they fall prey to it? Very few. So how then can a model sense whether she is just about to be scammed, or signed by a genuine agency? Firstly, there’s no guarantee in the modelling industry and no agency has the power to guarantee you a job because they do not create or give the jobs. They put you out there for the designers, producers, companies, etc to select who they want – it’s not the agencies that decide. In fact, they have no say over who is chosen. So how can an agency guarantee a model a job? This is the first sign that you are about to be scammed. Also, these agencies always accompany their guarantee with an ‘if’. They guarantee you a job ‘if‘ you pay, buy, or give, etc. and so many models fall prey when they hear these guarantees, but the truth is that any contract you sign always has a ‘no guarantee‘ clause.
“Just as Rome was not built in a day, so a model’s book cannot be built in one“ Another common one is a registration fee. Boy, these agencies should be ashamed to ask for registration fees, and it’s pathetic that models actually fall for this when there are modelling manuals everywhere telling models never to pay an agency upfront. Why cant these models just listen? I mean, how else can we stress this? No genuine agency asks for any payment what-so-ever upfront. Now it doesn’t matter how big they, or the contacts they have seem to be, paying any agency upfront is a no-no! For acting agencies, there are a few exceptions, even then, you have a choice to ask that the fee be removed from your first job. However, in modelling there are no such thing as registration fees. Thirdly, and most tempting, is the portfolio offer. I can imaging being a model without a portfolio; you walk into an agency and they show you some captivating photos – which their photographers did not even snap – and offer you the same for £400. It sounds like heaven on earth, especially when you kind of know that getting a portfolio costs thousands of pounds and takes ages. Here comes this offer, probably with words guaranteeing you jobs at the same time. Then you think, why not? Honey, just as Rome was not built in a day, so a model’s book cannot be built in one. Professional models have their books built over years of jobs and test shootings. Yet there is still room for improvement, talk less of a book shot one day in a studio. If a photo studio is offering you this, no problem. After all the experience is worth it and you could have a couple of photos for your book, and keep the rest in your family album, but for an agency to ask you to go shoot your book in a day just shows the agency is an amateur and a fraud. In addition, a genuine agency will never charge you for a portfolio. They help you build your book over time through test shoots and jobs done. After all, they will make money off you. What am I saying here? It’s simple: don’t be fooled by empty guarantees, do not ever pay an agency upfront for anything, whether it is for a headshot, registration fee, or portfolio. No genuine agency will ask for this, so the next time you come across an agency offering you any of the above for a fee, hang up or head towards the nearest exit. 8 latest 7
I do sometimes wonder what people think. Out of everyone in the universe I would be most interested in knowing what happens inside doctor’s surgery receptionists heads? Why do they all seem to have a massive stick wedged up their bums? I have never met a ruder bunch of people. But it’s not just rudeness. They seem to think they hold the key to the most powerful secret of them all. There have been many times when I have been seconds away from leaning in through the little cubby hole you have to talk to these people through, grabbing the woman by the collar and repeatedly pulling her forwards with force, so her head neatly hits the wall. If I am not thinking about doing that it will be something similar. Do they have to go on a training course to become evil? Or is it just something that is looked for when recruiting? And why does no-one mention it? Why is this well-known subject never spoken of? Will I be hunted down and tortured by a lack of appointments and nosiness? Perhaps they are just smug – they can see all of your details on the screen, so maybe feel like they have one up on you and can therefore treat you like rubbish – knowing they can rub that prescription for fungal foot cream, or whatever, in your face.
“I still don’t understand how doctors receptionists can be so rude and get away with it?” I am a receptionist and I know how stressful it can be. But I still don’t understand how doctors’ receptionists can be so rude and get away with it? And miserable. Not just “having a bad day”, but “I hate my life,“ rude. Or maybe it isn’t their fault. Perhaps the rules state that if a patient wants a appointment within two days of calling for an appointment the receptionist must be as unhelpful as possible. The receptionist may only offer appointments for unreasonable times and if possible make the patient call once every half hour to see if a space has opened up. But the receptionist will earn extra brownie points if they can get the patient to make their way to the surgery and sit and wait all day in an empty waiting room on the off chance that the doctor might be able to make a space in between all his seemingly invisible patients and fit you in. I know that some are okay. But it appears that mine and those of everyone I know (and we all go to different ones) are just the same. I had thought they just didn’t like me in particular, but it turns out that they hate everyone. Although, I think they specifically dislike me more, and mainly because I break the golden rule obeyed in all doctors surgeries across the country. I will not whisper!

Celebcity with Jo Brooks
sponsored by Alan, haven’t you got anyone to do that for you? After a storming gig in aid of the Sussex Beacon – which I’m told raised a substantial amount of money, Mr Carr spent the night in MyHotel – which featured quite heavily in his set. Also spotted was Bill Bailey having lasagne in Pinocchio's, New Road.
Will at Bill’s
Show horse
Currently riding high in the charts with new single ‘Changes,’ ex-Pop-Idol winner Will Young is spending more and more time in the city. This time he was spotted in Bill’s (now home of the fish finger sandwich) wearing what looked like chef’s trousers!
Katie Price sets her sights on the 2012 Olympics and Magners bring some funny faces to Brighton You would normally see Katie Price either stepping out on the red carpet or pushing her kids shopping around Brighton, but most people were quite surprised at her latest appearance at the Horse of the Year show in Birmingham. Her debut at this most traditional of events split opinion amongst the elite horsey set, with some praising her for raising the profile of the sport and others complaining that her presence was evidence of the event trying to be made more populist. But for members of the Pony Club and show jumping types, the sight of the now, less bouncy Katie Price, demonstrating her dressage skills in the show-ring on a horse called Jordan's Glamour Girl, was a surreal one. Katie, who turned 30 earlier this year, has been a keen rider since the age of seven and told the crowd that she had trained for three months under her coach and fellow dressage rider Andrew Gould. Organisers, thrilled by the surge in ticket sales this year, said she was there ‘to bring some glamour and sparkle’ to the occasion. She performed to a medley of music which included ‘Mysterious Girl’ by her hubby, Peter Andre, and a track called ‘Sex You Up.’ The Birmingham NEC was sold out for the performance, and thousands of horse fans cheered her opening gambit. In an interview afterwards, she expressed delight that she hadn't fallen off, and said she was keen to ride for Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympics: “I'm very serious about the Olympics. There's a lot of people out there who mock me and ask what I'm doing here, but I've just proved I can do moves you don't do until you reach Grand Prix level, and I've only been doing it three months.” Mark Davison, captain of Great Britain's Olympic dressage team, was full of praise for her performance, saying her control of the horse was outstanding. “Her 2012 dream is very ambitious,” he said. “To reach that level in such a short space of time would be unheard of, but she's got the wherewithal to give it a go.”
Spotted: Alan Carr and (inset left) Bill Bailey
New Road comedy Brighton has been awash with comedians this month with the Magners Paramount Comedy Festival belly laughing into town. Here are just a few of the spotted! Man of the moment and now author – Alan Carr, was seen in New Road carrying his own books fresh from his Borders book signing. Poor

Bare cheek Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column
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, Please help! As a child I suffered from scarlet fever, and was entertained by my elderly aunt, who read to me from an old book she said had been a favourite of hers when she was a child. My memory’s not what it was, but I seem to recall it was all about this little girl who, one day, encounters an unpunctual white rabbit.

Dear Mike, My brother’s getting married in the New Year, and I’ve decided to organise a themed stag night for him, based around this film character he likes, but I’ve forgotten what he’s called. All I can remember is that he’s a cool, sophisticated secret agent, who’s a killer in both senses of the word. Impeccably dressed, he’s always ready with a dry quip that seems tailor made for the situation. I seem to think he’s the subject of the longest-running film franchise in cinematic history – and although, inevitably, there have been shifts in emphasis and tone with each movie, to take account of developments in culture and popular mores, nonetheless the same basic ingredients are always present and correct – a far fetched plot to destroy the world, a megalomaniacal villain with some physical peculiarity, exotic locations, and lots of attractive dolly birds who can’t resist the hero’s evident charms. I think the theme music went dum-da-da-dum-dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-da-da-dum-dum-dumdum-dum, da-daaaaah, dad-a-dah! Please can you help!? Bill Hailey, Portslade Dear Bill, I was not “shaken” by your query, but I was “stirred” to write this response.
Yes, the character you remember is everybody’s favourite super spy, Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang himself, Bertie Wooster. Dear Mike, This has been driving me mad. I’m sure, when I was a kid, my family would have this special day, in the depths of winter, where we all gave each other presents (the idea being that they’d actually been delivered by a mysterious redclad, white-bearded, jolly fat man who came down the chimney) and sang seasonal songs around a tree, which we brought into the house – if you can believe that! Then we’d all sit around a groaning table laden with roast turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes and all the trimmings, followed by a lovely, flaming, plum-filled Christmas pudding. But I can’t for the life of me recall what this festivity was called. Can you please enlighten me, oh great one, that I might observe it with my own family one day? Jerry Andthepacemakers, Worthing Dear Jerry, Oh ho ho ho. Come now! If I didn’t know better I’d think you were trying to make “merry” of old Uncle Mike. The answer’s in your question! The day you refer to so fondly is, of course, National No Smoking Day, which traditionally falls on the second Wednesday of every March. Season’s Greetings, and keep those queries flooding in folks!

CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)
LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19).
Okay, Aries how do you smell? A little woolly, like a cardi left in a puddle? Freshen up with your ideal nasal notes: citrus with something aromatic on the side, perhaps a dab of turps.
Flowers, flowers and more flowers here and keep it sweet. Anything in fact to disguise the muskiness of crabby old crab. Only joking, sweet peas should do the trick.
Oh, we're off again, warm florals with an oriental note and a splash of spice. Forget perfume and dab a spot of last nights takeaway behind each ear. Maybe not sweet and sour though.
Capricorn woman feels like a natural woman, smelling of grass cuttings and fresh, recently fallen leaves. How economical, simply take a roll in the long grass girls.
TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)
LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
This is better than bits and bowels eh? Taurus is best suited to something flowery, which may come as a surprise, but not here in Brighton, no, go for it you big girl's blouse.
Once again it’s floral, are you sensing a bit of a theme here? Mmmmm, anyhoo, floral, however, this time with an oriental note, perhaps a jasmine one.
Scorpio woman should go for the chypre group of aromas, that's chypre, woody, citrus and natural, not cheap. No cheap perfume smells, well frankly it smells cheap.
Now, here is a change: Aquarius smells best in something synthetic. I tend to opt for one of those traffic light car fresheners stitched into the gusset of my winter woolies.
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
Gemini should stay fresh with the sharp edge of citrus, a dab of flowers and a bit of moss, that’s the green stuff and not the model who should avoid dabs at all costs.
For Virgo it's something green with perhaps a bitter top note. Now that makes a lot of sense, bitter and green, I'm starting to like this, an aromatic sniff of the astrological truth.
For the Sagittarius woman the best smells are fresh floral-chypre notes with butch elements like oak moss, leather and the slightest dash of Bisto perhaps?
Pisceans can wear what they like and quite right too. I recommend something lemony to marry with the smell of fresh fish and Roy of Bardsley's agrees.

INTERVIEW
The time is now Nick Aldwinckle speaks to Martha Wainwright about adventures in Greenland, working with Rufus and playing in Brighton To describe Martha Wainwright as just part of a musical dynasty is perhaps demeaning to the Canadian singer-songwriter’s considerable talent. We all know the family links; younger sister of show-stopper Rufus Wainwright and daughter of veteran folk musicians Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, famous friends include Leonard Cohen and Patti Smith. It seems impossible to mention her without listing a whole host of big names, but she’s rapidly building a successful career in her own right. Since releasing her self-titled debut album in 2005, Wainwright has carved a niche in the current musical landscape, sounding more akin to seventies country or folk than most of her contemporaries. This year has seen her sound come of age with the release of her second album, I Know You’re Married But I’ve Got Feelings Too. She tours Europe this month, returning to Kemp Town’s St George’s Church this week.
someone like me. I’m pretty self-obsessed and I write songs that are very self-indulgent, so perhaps I can do something more meaningful than talk about myself.
What have you been up to? Getting ready for my Greenland trip. The expedition is called Cape Farewell. This English couple take a bunch of artists, scientists, a documentary maker, an environmentalist and a journalist to a place called Disko Bay in northern Greenland, where the polar caps are melting fastest. The idea is that the artists will return to society and talk about their experience and perhaps create something based on those experiences. We’ve got Laurie Anderson, Feist, Antony from Antony and the Johnsons; there’s a site with all the info. It’s the perfect opportunity for
You’re clearly influenced by your friend Patti Smith. Would you record with her? I’d love to. It’d be remarkable. I love the way she sings, the way she gets the importance of her words across. I love her story with her
Do you remember Brighton well? For a year I did a succession of crappy shows there, then I played a couple of good ones. Hopefully I’ve redeemed myself! I broke my tooth on the microphone at the Hanbury Ballroom! I think I gave a piece of it to someone in the front. Your music is sometimes pretty bleak. Are you a happy person? Yeah, I’m happy! I get to divulge all of this grim stuff and it’s satisfying. It’s a great feeling to finish a song that’s about difficult stuff and painful things and you get to use those negative emotions for something productive. Being able to sing daily is probably very good for you.
“I broke my tooth on the microphone at the Hanbury Ballroom! I think I gave a piece of it to someone in the front”
family and children and it really sounds like she put her family and her kids first, which is something my mother did for my brother and I. She’s pretty f**king hip. How was working with Pete Townshend on the new album? I like old timers and I feel comfortable with them. When you’re able to take down the thought of the stardom and get down to the music it’s great, but you’re still pinching yourself when Pete Townshend’s jumping up and down with his guitar. Do you think you and Rufus will ever do a full album together? I think it’d be stupid not to. We’ve got some catching up to do. I’ve done two records now, so there’s more time for collaboration. I think it’d be fun to do. He’s on another path at the moment. He’s really focused on his opera premiere in the new year, so he’s a classical composer right now! I’m working with him on his Kurt Weill adaptation in London in January and February. Is there any rivalry there? No, not musically, because we both sound so different. There’s a certain amount of interest, you know, like sniffing of the butts, but it’s not a rivalry. Would you have ever been something other than a musician? I like to think I could do something else, but I don’t know. I think it’s good to do the things that came naturally. One of the benefits is being able to spend time with my family and playing music with them. It’s a very meaningful experience and that’s what I would miss the most in some ways. Martha Wainwright, Saturday 25 October, St George’s Church. www.capefarewell.com

Safe hands Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears on coping with a crisis When I started writing this column a couple of months ago, I intended to give you a weekly insight into what the council was doing to serve the city. But this week I find myself writing about the news itself. Because few readers of Latest, if any, would have escaped the daily diet of financial and economic stories we are now being fed. For weeks, the news has been full of the troubles facing the country's banking sector. I’ve been watching developments very closely because it’s not just banks but councils too, that are being hit by the global economic crisis. This is because several Icelandic banks, to which many local authorities have been lending, have gone to the wall. At Brighton and Hove City Council we decided to withdraw our cash from Icelandic banks more than a year ago because we felt uncomfortable with their level of growth. Our foresight was a

combination of sound financial management and a bit of luck. We certainly didn’t predict that the market would fall quite so dramatically one year on, and we would not have expected other councils to, but we weren’t prepared to risk taxpayers’ money. We were just being cautious – and we will continue to be so because we want to ensure that the council tax you pay does not go to waste. We’re currently monitoring the situation very closely and we want to make sure that this council does everything it can to help people, particularly the vulnerable, families on low income, single parent families and our older people as the financial crisis deepens. We want to help make a positive life for our residents by what we give, by that I mean we want to do everything we can to help people in this city. On the subject of headlines, I think that it's vital that we have access to as much local news as
possible, especially at times like this when residents are wondering how the big national news stories, like the credit crunch, will affect them locally. And with this in mind the council is opposing plans by ITV to merge some of the regional news operations in the south east to create a ‘super region’, which will
span a massive swathe of the Home Counties and southern counties, including East Sussex. This will almost certainly mean even less reporting on Brighton and Hove, which means less opportunity for residents to learn about what public bodies, like councils, are doing for their communities. So I am writing to the television ‘watchdog’, Ofcom, to object to these changes. And I’d urge you to register your views by visiting www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/ and following the links to the Public Service Broadcasting review consultation page. Most newscasters would finish with the “And finally...“ section and possibly a quirky story. But I’m going to sign off simply by saying that if you’re interested in reading more news about how the council is managing the city, then logon to www.brightonhove.gov.uk/news

LATESTNEWS Phil Mills looks at the effects of late-night pub and club openings on Sussex Police and has some good news on the water front

Juggling act
NEWS
Late-night pub and club opening was meant to stagger going-home time, thereby reducing the prospects for violence, and encourage a more relaxed continental approach to drinking. Neither of these goals has been achieved and while it is true that the number of serious violent attacks has decreased, overall numbers have not. In addition, the new laws have forced Sussex Police into redistributing its limited numbers of officers so that more of them work in the small hours when clubs close. It means there are less police around at other times and some daytime tasks are being delayed. Those are the views of senior city police who stress that Labour’s 2003 Licensing Act is still in its infancy and that its aims may yet be achieved.
“A significant percentage of our budget is now spent on policing the city’s night-time economy.” One goal of the act was to stagger closing times to ease the burden on police and reduce street violence but Mr Whitehead said this was not being achieved in the city. Most premises, he said, were shutting between 3am and 3.30am. He said: “People are coming onto the streets that much later and we have to be around to police them.” Inspector Andy Kundert, the city police events officer, said the Act had empowered police and their robust response had led to the closure of some premises where there had been trouble. And with the help of pubs and clubs themselves, he said, there had been far fewer reports of glassings and other serious cases of violence, although he accepted there had been no fall in overall number of incidents. Many police, however, say the traditional violence hot spots are now much safer for people in the evening because those intent on causing trouble are not on the streets until the early hours. Mr Kundert said there were no signs that the more-relaxed continental approach to drinking had arrived in Brighton and Hove, but, he was quietly confident for the future. He said: “We may not have got that far yet but give it time, it just may take a little longer.”
“A significant percentage of our budget is now spent on policing the city’s night-time economy” They were responding to Police Federation leaders who told MPs that the reforms had stretched frontline police to the limit and that more were being employed to deal with drink-fuelled disorder and binge drinking than ever. Brighton and Hove police Chief Inspector Bill Whitehead won’t accept resources are over-stretched but he does agree troop numbers have had to be juggled. He said: “The fact premises are open much later does place a requirement on our resources to deal with any victims and offenders. “This does have a knock-on effect and means we can do less during the day.
Bewl Water Reservoir, Kent
Water works One of the wettest summers on record may have meant misery for holidaymakers this year but every cloud has a silver lining. Southern Water says there’s now little chance of any kind of hosepipe bans at all next summer – even if we get a wall-to-wall sunshine and drought. A spokeswoman said: “The South East experienced two dry winters in 2004 and 2005 which meant the region was officially in drought. “We entered 2006, having only received 70 per cent of long-term rainfall. Southern Water’s Bewl Water reservoir in Kent was at its lowest level in January 2006, being just 35 per cent full. “Southern Water introduced a number of measures to help tackle the drought, including a hosepipe and sprinkler restriction in Sussex and Kent in June 2005 and the Isle of Wight in April 2006. “The drought was the driest period since the 1930s and the worst drought since 1976.
“The company also fast-tracked more than 50 drought-busting capital schemes, costing £20 million, which included the reintroduction of an old well in Worthing, West Sussex, to help provide additional resources. “The main recharge period for our reservoirs is September to March, the winter months when we expect rainfall. Bewl is 83 per cent full, which means we are entering the main re-charge season in a good position. “Therefore, it is unlikely to be necessary to introduce any hosepipe restrictions next year. However, we always ask customers to remain water efficient as the South East is classed by the Environment Agency as a water stressed area.” So there’s little prospect of a hosepipe ban for 2009 but Southern Water seem to be hedging their bets – their emails are still carrying ‘Waterwise Tips’ including: ‘After preparing vegetables or salads, use the water left in the bowl for your garden.’

Latest Sport Daniel Frickelton’s Sussex golf courses. This week: Seaford Head Golf Club
A class apart Apartness is a funny thing – sometimes we love it, often we loathe it. There is no universal consensus on when apartness is good or bad. There is no way to maintain a members golf club without creating a class apart, a group of people who justly feel that the fees they pay should entitle them to privileges not enjoyed by the public. As most golf clubs depend on green fees paid by non-members for their survival, the exclusion inherent in the club system gets airbrushed into friendly neutrality. Access codes are provided for changing room facilities, spike bars provide access to refreshments, and everyone shares the same space. Physical exclusion of non-members is rare these days, and many golf clubs prefer to reward members in other ways, such as granting them preferential tee time booking privileges, organising matches and golfing holidays at preferential rates, and so on. Non-members feel welcome, and members are made to feel a little bit special.
“There is no more thrilling sight in golf than your perfectly struck ball soaring straight out into the blue, on the fairway far below. So I am told” Beach hut makeover I have been meaning to write to Latest 7 for ages to thank you for the marvellous prize we won! As the weather improved in September and we actually got to use it – I can confirm that it is a triumph. It not only looks great, it really works for the way we use it. We loved the whole design process and to have such a stunning hut is brilliant too! Many, many, thanks, Kay Stephan
A Northern insult Just read this week’s Latest 7 and we are discussing in the office how the highlighted comment of: “one leftover lunch inspired the none-toocomplimentary response from a work colleague: ‘What is that? God, you’re so Northern,’” by Jo-ann Hodgson on page five in Wave (30 September) is really quite offensive. Why, really was there a need to highlight or even print such dross? With a town full of many creative and great writers why do you have to fill up your magazine with such columns of rubbish? What is the world coming to eh? I will stick to the music page from now on. Feel better now I have that off my chest. But seriously we are living in 2008! Try to get a grip of such egotistical writers or at least think! Jackie Branstons
Model exploitation I read with interest, in a recent edition of Latest 7, Sandra Omo’s comments in which she expressed about the exploitation practised when the publishers of magazines – for which she had not posed – used her image without permission, without even her knowledge and without any offer of payment for the use of the results of her work. I hope she is aware that British Equity now accepts models as bona fide members of the Union, and suggest that she applies for membership. Perhaps, then, she and her colleagues could claim royalties for their original work. Yours faithfully Robert Vahey, Albion Hill

We were therefore disappointed to see that physical separation is still the order of the day at Seaford Head G C, where a folding partition divides one large space into two smaller ones. All traffic enters the clubhouse through the non-member section, the colour of the carpet changes at the folding wall, and a stolen peek reveals the presence of a flat screen telly, not available to non-members. Because the otherwise inviting bar runs along an entire wall joining the two sections it is easy to make the mistake of placing your newly-pulled pint on the corner of a members’ table at your elbow as you pay for your drink. One of us transgressed in this way and was immediately told off, ever so politely, by the barman. We were all told off for wearing “outdoor clothing” (short-sleeved rain top, not wet), and it was not possible to approach the bar wearing soft spikes. By contrast, at Lewes Golf Club, members approached us either to offer helpful, friendly advice about facilities or just to chat. We were not reviewing the course on that occasion, but we were nevertheless made to feel extraordinarily welcome. Seaford Head should take a long look across the Downs to see how easy it would be to create a welcoming atmosphere. All of which is totally irrelevant if all you expect of a golf club is a great course. The wind is almost always a factor on our wonderful coastal courses, and Seaford Head is no exception. The salty gales will blow the cobwebs right out of your head, whisking your cares away, and will also blow your well struck iron shot right back in your face if you can’t do a knock down shot. If flat, straight fairways on well-mown parkland on fair, calm days are your idea of heaven, Seaford Head will either give new meaning to the word “profanity”, or it will raise the curtain on a whole new golfing experience and have you whooping and yipping with exhilaration. My personal favourites were the holes with elevated tees, especially the fifth and eighteenth. There is no more thrilling sight in golf than your perfectly struck ball soaring straight out into the blue, postponing for as long as possible its inevitable landing on the fairway far below. So I am told. But find out for yourselves, addicts. There are holes aplenty at Seaford Head to test your skill, patience and ruggedness. You will not be bored. Just mind your step in the clubhouse!

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Ahh bistro Andrew Kay finds comfort in classic French food at the New Steine Hotel’s Bistro There are those moments when you really need someone or something to come along and put a little ooh la la into your life. Something utterly delicious, frivolous and fun. I had the parents staying and fun as they are, at 75 you are limited to what you can and cannot do. Mum’s gokarting days are long gone and Dad’s paintballing urges have waned. Sad really, as only five years ago, had I suggested either they would have been first to cast off their slippers and get their coats on. These days life is far more sedantry, but sedantry does not have to mean dull. No, dull is not what is required and I have to report that dinner in the bistro at the New Steine Hotel was anything but dull. We arrived shortly after seven and left hours later, full of excellent food, good humour and bon hommie. The parents like to eat at 5:30, so this was a late night for them. They took to it like water.
‘‘Stephan took the liberty of tipping vodka over the top and told me this was a classic French thing’’ The owner greeted us in his usual charming Gallic way, with lots of hugging and kissing, and we went straight to a table in the very stylish and pleasantly cosy dining room. I would have liked to prop up the bar for a while, but the crumblies are beyond that, needing immense numbers of devices and buttresses to keep them in the upright mode. At the table Dad started with a beer and managed to make it last all night. Mum drank tonic water and I took advantage of being driven and

had a massive G&T. Hervé joined us for a while before handing over the reins to Stephan who not only led us through the menu, served our food, entertained us and utterly charmed the support garments off my mother, he also managed to get me rather tiddly in a very subtle way. The menu is set price, Sunday to Thursday three courses inclusive at £12.50 per person. On Fridays and Saturdays it rises to a modest £16.50 per person. The menu is old school Parisien and full marks for that from all three of us. Dad loved his onion soup which was as French as… well as onion soup should be. My fish soup hit the same note, musky and rich with plenty of croutons and cheese to cast in as well as lashing of delicious rouille. Mum had coquilles St Jacques and loved them, and they were sensibly served sans pommes puree so not too filling. I also had a glass of red wine, a bottle on my own would have been badness, but Stephan seemed to make sure that I was topped up at all times. For a main course Dad chose boeuf bourguignon which came with noodles. Not easily impressed he declared that it was so good, Mum could have cooked it! The old charmer. It did look excellent and generous and the meat simply fell apart at the touch of his fork. Mum had a fillet of fish in a creamy dill sauce which suited her well. It came with a delicious timbale of tiny vegetables set in a savoury egg custard, both pretty and well executed too. I could not resist the joy of confit duck served with lentils and I was not to be disappointed. A huge plate of delicious lentils with lardons and carrots came topped with sweet and crispy duck. Not for the faint hearted this kind of food but a real rib-sticking delight that left me too full for pudding… …well almost. Dad, as ever, was up for the full three courses and made little hesitation in ordering a tarte tatin. Now I draw back from this most ubiquitous of Froggy puds because all to often it is bad, cold, soggy and dull. But he chose well and it was freshly cooked, piping hot and with crisp puffed pastry. Mum chose crème brulée, served in a wide shallow dish it managed to make the burnt sugar to custard ratio almost criminal. Needless to say she licked the plate clean, well almost, by this time Stephan and the crumblies had discovered a common bond in Thailand and before we knew it they were off on a tirade of tales of tuk tuks and lady boys. I sat back and enjoyed the lightest dessert I could find which was a lemon sorbet. Stephan had of course taken the liberty of tipping a large shot of vodka over the top and told me this was a classic French thing. I wasn’t complaining, far from it, I was away with the fairies and so were mum and dad. The New Steine Bistro is a complete delight, the food delicious and the service more so. At £16.50 the meal was a bargain, had it been a week day at £12.50 it would be little short of a miracle. Seek this out and let’s claim it as our own so that hotel guests have to fight for a table. They certainly prove that old fashioned in many ways is invaluable. Vive la France! New Steine Hotel Bistro, 10–11 New Steine, Brighton BN2 1PB UK. Call: 01273 695415/681546 or www.newsteinehotel.com

CHRISTMASPARTIES
Make merry! It’s time to dig out the tinsel and get ready for the annual Christmas party Christmas might seem a long way off yet, but it's already time to think about this year's work party. Restaurants, bars and venues have put together their festive menus and have begun taking bookings and if you don't act now, you could miss out on your first choice. The pre-Christmas period is one of the busiest times in the catering trade. Restaurateurs pull out all the stops to ensure you and your colleagues have a fantastic time to reward yourselves for all your hard work over the year. If you are an employer, organising a Christmas party can make your staff feel valued and rewarded, as well as giving them a chance to get to know each other informally. Don't think you can just bring in a few bottles of wine to the office; the days of drinks round your desks followed by abuse of the photocopier are long gone. Now staff expect an event outside their working environment so they can let their hair down and relax away from the grindstone. They'll return to work with a much better understanding of the people they see every day. If you don't have a Christmas do, you risk looking like a party pooper and missing out on valuable staff bonding time. Parties don't have to cost the earth. Many venues are offering special deals that enable you to book for a group for much less than usual prices. If you're on a modest budget, sometimes employees are willing to make a contribution towards the cost of a party, if they want a special event. Choosing the right place needs careful attention. Would your colleagues prefer luxury surroundings, a gourmet restaurant meal and carriages at midnight, or a more lively event with after-dinner drinking and dancing? The best way to find out is probably to ask them – but
do it quickly, as many companies are making their bookings now and snapping up the best places. Expect masses of choice. If you prefer; you could pick a traditional menu with turkey and trimmings; or go for international cuisine from European to Indian, Chinese and more. Whatever you decide, use our handy 14-page guide to decide where you'd most like to spend your festive night.

Wow party If you want to make sure your Christmas party is one to remember, then look no further… If the words ‘office‘ and ‘party’ invoke dread within you and summon up images more akin to David Brent than Christmas cheer, then don’t fear; this year promises to hold something entirely different. ‘Wow that’s what I call Christmas’ guarantees to be everything your usual office party is not. ‘Wow that’s what I call Christmas’ will be setting their yuletide scene at Fabrica, a former Regency church in central Brighton that is more commonly home to contemporary art installations. The people behind the award-winning restauranters Due South will be providing the catering, treating your taste buds to a wide range of delectable Christmas canapés sourced from the very best organic and free-range ingredients from small, local, independent producers. You can choose from a selection of sweet and savoury light bites with vegetarian and vegan options available, ensuring that your stomachs are left satiated but not too stuffed; leaving you feeling fresh and free to enjoy the rest that the evening has to offer. Upon arrival you will be presented with your complimentary winter warmer to help raise the temperature and get you in the festive mood! The Wow bar will be open throughout the evening serving premium beers, spirits, wines, soft drinks and shots, keeping you rocking around the Christmas tree. Fabrica is a beautiful Grade One listed building and will, for five nights only, become home to the definitive spirit of Christmas frivolities – complete with elves of both the good and bad variety and an alpine grotto, where the bravest amongst you might dare to enter and meet The Ice Queen. Live music comes courtesy of Commodore 64 – putting the funk into Christmas and belting out their renditions of your favourite singalong classics; just try and keep off the dance floor.

Rounding off the revelry will be Stick It On, affording you and your colleagues the opportunity to become superstar DJs, spinning fifteen minutes worth of your favourite ‘choons’ to an adoring crowd.

Christmas with the locals
Seven sensation
The best place for a traditional Sussex Christmas is at The Foragers Pub in Hove. The Foragers Pub has scoured Sussex to offer customers a Christmas menu made from the very best that the local countryside has to offer. They’ve given the modern day, American turkey a wide berth and instead, their menu is bursting with local flavours that celebrate the quality and diversity of this region’s traditional festive fare, from wild game to foraged wild sea purslane. Venison ragout, twicecooked pheasant and pigeon breast with black pudding will all make for a hearty, winter feast and vegetarians will also be in for a treat with such delights as hand-made pasta roulade with wild mushrooms and Jerusalem artichoke, leek and Sussex cheddar suet pudding. With the help of their team of foragers and trusted local suppliers, The Foragers Pub has created a unique Christmas menu and, with even the Festive Fizz coming from the Ridgeview Estate on the South Downs, a Christmas meal at The Foragers will be a truly local event. The Foragers Pub, 3 Stirling Place, Hove, East Sussex, Call: 01273 733134 www.theforagerpub.co.uk

Perfect pumpkin Zara Baker discovers there’s more to pumpkins than carving out a Jack O’Lantern this Halloween It’s probably the one week of the year we go out and buy a pumpkin with the purpose of carving into a traditional Halloween Jack O’Lantern. This year, make the most of your pumpkin and discover the numerous health benefits of the big orange vegetable. We should be eating a lot more of it, and if you haven’t yet tried it– well, there’s a first time for everything. So this week, when you shop for a pumpkin to carve into a Jack O’Lantern for All Hallows Eve, make use of the entire pumpkin with recipes that will feed you for a few days after Halloween has passed. The low calorie vegetable (with around 20 calories per 100 grams) is rich in potassium. It comes from the same family as squash and melon, but with its bright orange colour, is rich in beta-carotene, the vitamin that works as an anti oxidant to help fight against free radicals. When you empty the pumpkin of its seeds and pulp, don’t throw it away. Keep the seeds, roast them and eat them dry. The seeds are high in protein, potassium and essential fatty acids. They are also high in zinc which is a good protector against osteoporosis. Use the ‘meat’ of the pumpkin so to speak in a variety of meals. Before you screw your nose up at the idea of eating an unfamiliar sweet vegetable, check out some different recipe ideas as the pumpkin is extremely versatile. Puree into a soup, eat with other vegetables or transform into a pumpkin and pecan pie – the perfect Halloween treat instead of all the usual ‘trick or treat’ sweets. Native Americans used pumpkins as both food and medicine. Seed oil from the Styrian pumpkin (yellow/green skin, so not your traditional Jack O’Lantern type) can be used to dress salads and be used in cooking and baking. Derived from the seeds which are roasted and then pressed, 100 per cent pumpkin seed oil is packed with vitamins that can help keep you healthy. Buy a few pumpkins, experiment and have a happy Halloween!

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk Dara O’Briain “I don’t swear a lot, I’m just Irish,” started the big man, preparing his audience who may chiefly know him by his regular TV panel appearances. His language, however, does not detract from his huge likability and endearing way with words and stories. Shooting off on tangents as he interacted with audience members, fearless in his mastery of the stage as he strode around it inviting contributions from others, his mocking and friendly banter caught the funny bone of all. A gentle giant of the stage to keep you smiling all evening. Brighton Dome Concert Hall, 9 October ✌✌✌✌ Victoria Nangle
Amanda Palmer Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) burst onto stage in a theatrical cloud of punk noise and cabaret melodrama, but it wasn’t long before her self-deprecating humour broke in with a dose of grimy reality. Every moment of her performance, and those of her wonderful music/theatre troupe, were filled with utter conviction,
despite her leg being in plaster. ‘Leeds United’ and ‘Coin Operated Boy’ had the entire crowd screaming along, and her rendition of Neil Gaiman’s ‘I Google You’ was pure genius. Jason Webley’s raucous accordion and the sublime cello of Zoe Keating were ideal support, creating the perfect balance of circus and circumspection. Concorde 2, 4 October ✌✌✌✌✌ Ben Bailey
Tim Minchin With so much great comedy around at the moment, it’s always a bonus to witness something ‘even more special’ than the rest. Tim Minchin is even better than that. This Aussie’s exquisite and unique brand of mindblowing musical comedy, from that now-famous ‘Canvas Bag Song’ through poignant ballads-with-atwist, until the final moving encore confirmed one simple thing: You need to see this guy. His new DVD out next month will also be the best present you’ve given or received. Corn Exchange, 12 October ✌✌✌✌✌ Marc Abraham
HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Da Doo Ron Ron with guest DJ Edwyn Collins The DJs went from one female lead vocal belter to the next, keeping the pace and enthusiasm of the crowd on the boil at all times. The dance floor was peppered with girls dressed up the way I imagine their mums would have done, with beehive hairstyles, authentic retro dresses and clutch handbags. Even their dance moves looked like they had been lifted from a Beatles movie. Forget present day imitations, this night will open your eyes and ears to vintage classics that you’ll find yourself humming for days. A nice added touch was the free CD for the first 50 people and some cute pin badges in several different designs. Komedia, 11 October ✌✌✌✌✌ Rob Burdick
The Melvins You don’t often see alternative music legends playing Brighton. On this night, the band so adored by heavy music royalty lived up to the hype. King Buzzo is one of the most distinctive front-men in rock. Looking like thespian John Session’s younger brother with bigger hair and a monastic cloak, his stage charisma was far more powerful than his faintly ridiculous look. Two drummers displayed startling synchronicity and brutal efficiency as whirling, thrashing, flailing grunge feedback lashed from Buzz’s guitar and Jared Warren’s furrowing bass. A simultaneously hilarious and majestic US national anthem distinguishes The Melvins as a potent blend of Hendrix’s rock virtuosity and Mike Patton’s anarchic brilliance. Concorde 2, 4 October ✌✌✌✌

Edinburgh & Beyond Scruffy-looking, lovable host Dan Atkinson opened the show with a twinkle in his eye and a bit of spoton cheeky banter. Deadpan, glum looking Joe Wilkinson then “linked” anecdotes on unwanted lap dances to kids falling out of trees and had the crowd in stitches. Followed neatly by kooky Isy Suttie, singing dinky ditties about green sweets and contorting her voice into some seriously uncanny characters. Bill Hicks fans will love headliner Glenn Wool, who dryly poked fun at the credit crunch, predicted Iceland to be the new Thailand and discussed religious festivals with wicked glee. Edinburgh & Beyond rocks! Corn Exchange, 11 October ✌✌✌✌ Monica Perdoni
All the Fun of the Fair The pop musical lives on, this time in a vehicle devised and performed by David Essex. Some of us remember that he was a West End actor before his pop career so it comes as no surprise that he can pull it off, although his very static first half performance needed a bit of zip to contrast with act two. Full marks though for making the songs Essex penned an integral part of the narrative. Full marks too for a company that gave a committed performance. The plot, however, is thin and predictable, no surprises and therefore no excitement theatrically. For his hordes of fans, however, the air was charged, even if only with HRT.

STAND-UP COMEDY
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle finds the role of interviewer and interviewee switched when chatting to Tom Wrigglesworth Tom Wrigglesworth is a Yorkshireman of note, and not to be messed with. Winner of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny prize five years ago and having taken his own complete show – I’m Struggling To See How That’s Helping – to Edinburgh this year, he’s bringing it back to us in the Brighton Comedy Fringe. How would he describe it? “A rant against modern conveniences which don’t actually help us in the long run. Y’know, if anything they make things worse.” There’s a silence. Does he mean like a TV remote control that you lose? “Yes, that’s not a bad example. I’ve not actually cited that but it certainly is one.” Silence again. What inspired the show? “Something I saw in the supermarket.” He’s not giving anything away, I tell him. “Yeah, well there’s a reason for that. That is, well, that is that I don’t want to tell you. I’ve got your best wishes at heart.” Bless him. And it’s worked, now I really want to see the show – and I know that’s all that I’m going to get about it.
“You’ve got to keep doing ordinary things ” Alright. So who else would Tom recommend to see during the festivals? “Sarah Millican – excellent comedian. Very funny. Highly recommended by me.” She’s the if.comedy Best Newcomer winner 2008. Fabbo, I say. He asks: “You’ve seen her, haven’t you?” Yup, one of the very first gigs I played as a new act was supporting her. “Where was that?” Tom quizzes me. “How did it go? How long did you do there? What got you into that, then?” Hang on a minute, something’s not right. “Sorry, I forgot which way around this interview was.” This is the least conventional interview I have ever done. Does he have any tips for new acts? “The best advice I got – which unfortunately I didn’t take – was always support Sarah Millican early on and interview Tom Wrigglesworth a bit later. It would have to be in that order too. I remember one comic did it the wrong way around. I spoke to them and then they said, ‘I’m supporting Sarah Millican tomorrow,’ and a week later – dead.” Phew! Thank goodness I did it the right way around, I tell him. He chuckles. “It’s so easy to get out of the habit of living a normal life. I trudge everywhere doing gigs, driving up the motorway, sitting in a dressing room. So you end up being a comedian only other comedians could find funny. You’ve got to keep doing ordinary things like going to the zoo.” And with that, he’s off to do some DIY. Cushty.

STAGE “Last year the panto didn’t do as well as they had hoped. That’s the diplomatic way of putting it. This year we are determined to do better by producing a show of a better performing quality”. While there won’t be as much audience participation, this production still looks to be quite a spectacle, with flying monkeys, flying witches and an on-stage twister effect promised. Tim has worked through the years as an actor and as a director in a number of different productions, but how did he feel about working as both in the same production? “It’s insane, absolutely insane, and the only way you can do it is to have a very good associate director, which I have.You have to know when to hand over, because at certain points, you can’t sit out and watch anymore. You have to participate as a cast member and let your associate take over. I’ve done this several times so I know what I’m getting into, this is not an unknown quantity for me.
‘‘I’m a traditionalist… I’m going to deliver the best piece of musical theatre that I possibly can’’
Friends of Dorothy There will be a fairytale at Christmas for the Theatre Royal, with The Wizard of OZ There will be no pantomime in Brighton this year. Fairytale fans need not fret, however, as the Theatre Royal is putting on a production of one of the most enduring fantasy stories of all time. The change of tack follows the disappointment of last year’s pantomime, Cinderella, which featured Kim and Aggie. In response to criticism and a slump in ticket sales, the Theatre Royal is dropping the celebrities and putting on a fully professional production using West End performers, and has hired multiple Olivier Award-nominated star Tim Flavin as director. Latest 7 spoke to Flavin, who will also be ‘following the yellow brick road’ as Scarecrow, before he embarks upon the rehearsals ahead. We began by asking him how he felt his production would differ from panto. “I’m not trying to compete with Pantomime… I’m a traditionalist, so I’m going to deliver the best piece of musical theatre that I possibly can and let other people do panto and provide that choice”.

“I’m not dictatorial as a director, but I’m very specific with my preparation, I like to have something to start with. I think actors are eager to be given direction. If it doesn’t work for them, well then we have something to discuss”. This production of The Wizard of Oz accurately uses the 1939 MGM film script starring Judy Garland and the company will be trying to capture the spirit of that iconic film as closely as possible. “I love the movie and I feel devoted to it, I feel like I want to take care of it like it’s one of my children”. Is he worried that people would be expecting too much or have preconceptions about The Wizard of Oz? “No… because it’s only my preconception that’s important. And I’m not worried about what anybody else thinks, and I can only do what I do, with the acting company that I have and the set and costume resources that I have and the kicking of the producers to give me more resources”. Flavin’s cast will have a local element to it, with theatre school children playing the munchkins, while local dogs are being auditioned to play Dorothy’s canine companion Toto.

Eraserhead (18) Dir: David Lynch Lynch’s debut 1977 effort gets a rare but welcome late night screening. Lynch regular Jack Nance stars as Henry Spencer, a young man with big hair, eking out an existence in a backwater industrial town. When his girlfriend, Mary X, gives birth to a freaky illegitimate child, events
unravel with a twitchy deadbeat excitement as Lynch’s cirque de surreal takes hold. This is Lynch at his primordial best at the helm of a heavy duty film visually punk and yet artistically prescient. Showing at Duke of York’s Craig Driver
Eagle Eye (12A)
Igor (PG)
High School Musical 3
Standard Operating Procedure (15)
Dir: D.J Caruso After directing a few episodes of TV super series The Shield and the not so brilliant Disturbia, D.J. Caruso may have finally found a not so delectable niche with this sneaky espionage thriller. Human sprout Shia LaBeouf continues his one man mission to nullify the merits of character acting while his life becomes a puzzle as a mysterious woman controls his every move through advanced technology. Go and watch David Fincher’s far superior The Game instead and ignore this fair to middling tripe. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld
(PG)
Dir: Kenny Ortega Disney march without restraint towards global domination with this insipid cinematic offal. As senior year draws to a close and college looms large Troy (the hunky one) and Gabriella (the beautiful one) struggle with being separated from one another. With the help of the Wildcats they stage a musical to address their hopes and fears – nausea is rarely this easily induced. It may exude a certain postmodern kitsch but beneath the Technicolor razzmatazz beats a dark and twisted capitalist heart. Showing at Odeon, Cineworld & Worthing
Director: Anthony Leondis This cheeky but flawed animated fable features the vocal talents of amongst others John Cusack, John Cleese, Eddie Izzard, Steve Buscemi, Jay Leno and oddly enough our own bucket of beige Myleene Klass. The story follows a hunchbacked assistant to an evil scientist who aspires to become a scientist himself. Giggles and guffaws arise as his lofty ambitions clash with the rest of the evil science community. Entertaining stuff but Pixar this certainly ain’t – Wall-E would be ashamed. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Dir: Errol Morris The photographs taken in 2004 by American soldiers in the Abu Ghraib prison of Iraqi prisoner of wars placed the issue of human rights centre stage. In this revelatory film, acclaimed documentary filmmaker Errol Morris – responsible for the superb The Fog of War – records the first-person testimonies of the soldiers charged with prisoner abuse. The interviews are shocking and when placed alongside some good old journalistic fervour make for a quite brilliant and powerful work. Showing at Duke of York’s Craig Driver

FILM
We built this city... British director Gil Kenan talks to Latest 7 about his new film, dark fantasy City of Ember How did you get involved with City of Ember? It happened right after I got out of film school. I’d made a thesis film called Lark that got me a lot of attention in Hollywood, and all of a sudden I found myself out of school and taking meetings in Hollywood. This is before I developed Monster House. One of my first meetings was with Tom Hanks’s company, Playtone, and I remember that I sat down with them and I just started pitching them all of these crazy ideas, lots of science fiction stuff. I was so nervous. Then they showed me the manuscript for City of Ember, which hadn’t yet been published, and they asked me to read it and then come back and give them my take for the movie.
How would you describe the visual style of the film? The book is set far in the future, and the city looks like it’s been built on top of our world so you see in the film how Earth as we know it today has become an ancient relic. City of Ember is set in the Steampunk era and it has that look and vibe. The city is full of these old contraptions that have been brought back to life for the modern age and tweaked and reconstructed. An example is how Lina plays a pedal-driven phonograph to put her sister to sleep at night. There’s pedals and pulleys everywhere. What was it like working with Bill Murray? Bill’s a great guy. You hear stories about how eccentric he can be but he’s great to be around on the set and he makes everyone else feel good, especially the other actors. Bill’s our villain in the film and he’s a politician – a gorging, fat politician – so that makes him even more of a villain, but what’s great about Bill is that he’s a villain you love to hate. He wears a fat-pad in the film and he looks really funny. That’s Bill. Even when he’s being bad you love him. City of Ember is showing at Cineworld.
What did you think when you read Jeanne DuPrau’s book? I read the whole thing that night, and it was one of those things where I immediately saw the movie in my head, saw the world in the story, as I was reading it. I went back to Playtone and laid out my vision for a threehour movie and they really liked it, and we went from there. I really loved the book. I loved the idea of making a city, a city as amazing as the one in our film, a character in the story. As it turns out, I think the movie I saw in my head when I first read the manuscript is very close to the finished film. What was it about the city in the story that intrigued you so much? The city is a great character all by itself, really the main character in the story. I loved the metaphor and symbolism of a magical city that’s kept alive by this pulsing generator that serves as the city’s heartbeat. Then the generator becomes sick, the heart starts to fail, and the city is dying. What are the citizens going to do? That’s what the story’s about. It’s about a city with a beating heart, a city that’s also populated by interesting and colourful characters.
Also showing… A quick look at what’s on this week Blood Simple (18) Dir: Joel and Ethan Coen The film that started the Coen brothers’ career, Blood Simple remains their best film to date. A prototype of the grim tension retrod in Oscar-winner No Country For Old Men, this taut, low key thriller is nothing short of amazing. Showing at Duke of York’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (12A) Dir: Mark Herman Set during World War II, this is the tale of Bruno, eight-year-old son of the commandant at a concentration camp, whose friendship with a Jewish boy reveals a startling but desperate message. Showing at Worthing Brideshead Revisited (12A) Dir: Julien Jarrold The understated stalwart of British thesps, Emma Thompson and a cast including Michael Gambon and Perfume’s Ben Whishaw star in this adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s classic 1945 novel about love and friendship in wartime Oxford University. Showing at Worthing
Burn After Reading (15) Dir: Joel and Ethan Coen The Coen brothers stick to doing what they know best with this acclaimed caper about an incompetent couple trying to blackmail a CIA agent. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Coen regular Frances McDormand head a fine ensemble cast. Showing Duke of York’s, Cineworld, Worthing City of Ember (PG) Dir: Gil Kenan The British director of animated hit Monster House gets another stab at the kid’s market with this tale of a subterranean city running out of steam. Taking a cue from the under-rated sci-fi noir Dark City, this is moodier family fare than most. Bill Murray hams it up as the city’s villainous mayor. Showing at Cineworld The Edge of Love (15) Dir: John Maybury Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller star as the two women in the life of great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, played by Brothers and Sisters star Matthew Rhys. A racy, acclaimed biopic. Showing at Odeon
The House Bunny (12A) Dir: Fred Wolf Scary Movie and Lost In Translation star Anna Faris leads the cast in this spin on the Clueless formula. Faris plays Shelly, a bunny thrown out of the Playboy mansion, who has to fit in with a group of college dorks to get by. Chick-flick candyfloss to brighten the dark nights. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld
Mirrors (15) Dir: Alexandre Aja Better know for his TV work on 24 nowadays, Keifer Sutherland returns to the big screen for yet another adaptation of an Asian horror. Sutherland plays an ex-cop whose family is haunted by troublesome spirits that use mirrors as a gateway to the world of the living. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People(15) Dir: Robert B. Weide Spaced and Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg continues his climb up the Hollywood rom-com ranks with Curb Your Enthusiasm director Robert B Weide’s adaptation of Toby Young’s book about a Brit trying to make it in the fashionable New York magazine scene. With Jeff Bridges, Kirsten Dunst and Megan Fox. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld
The Rocker (12A) Dir: Peter Cattaneo The director of The Full Monty returns with another low-budget feel-good tale of smalltown Britain and, erm, semi-naked men. Rainn Wilson plays Robert ‘Fish’ Fishman, drummer in an eighties rock band whose dreams were crushed when he was chucked out of the band. Years later, he gets a second chance when his nephew’s band reluctantly let him join them. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld
Mamma Mia! (PG) Dir: Phyllida Lloyd The unrivalled feel-good hit of the summer, Mamma Mia! took more money in the UK than even The Dark Knight. Sing along to the Abba classics with Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård and Pierce Brosnan all game for some high camp fun in this adaptation of the hit West End musical Showing at Cineworld, Odeon & Worthing
Taken (15) Dir: Pierre Morel Liam Neeson stars as a former spy who takes matters into his own hands when his daughter is taken hostage, mustering all his combat skills to be reunited. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld Nick Aldwinckle

Thank you to your publisher for sending me your two novels. I made a start on the first, The Dying Man’s Clues, as soon as I received it. You have woven your story from a mix of fact and fiction. The facts are derived from important events of the day in late eighteenth century England (the mutiny of soldiers at East Blatchington, near Seaford, in 1794; the visit of the Prince of Wales to Brighton in June 1795) and from the personalities you have culled from the pages of Brighton’s history – Mr Wigney, the High Constable of Brighthelmston, Martha Gunn, the renowned ‘dipper’ (dippers helped their clients bathe in the sea). Your career as a history teacher is very evident in your writing, both in your knowledge of the period and location about which you write, and, the explanatory asides made by your main character in his desire to inform the reader of significant detail. The fiction you have concocted yourself with remarkable stamina has enabled you to complete your second and much longer tome, Murders in Brighton, Crisis in Britain – although it sounds more like the title of a treatise on the credit crunch. Your Georgian Morse is Benjamin Sydenham, a graduate of Oxford University and curate at a church in Rottingdean. On his way home one evening he finds a dying man, whose last words are the clues that set the cleric on his quest to solve the crime. A good start, I thought, but my initial enthusiasm faded quickly, partly because I found the Rev. Sydenham a most irritating character, who, in my humble opinion, deserves a good poke in the eye. He is a most selfregarding, self-congratulating man who would rather spend ten pages recounting the detailed discussions of a meeting than gives us one well-told piece of action. Sir, you live in a city and a county where there is no shortage of writers of historical detective fiction of the first water. Mr Peter Lovesey has achieved considerable success with his stories about Seargeant Cribb set in Victorian London. Mr C. J. Sansom has entertained us repeatedly with his excellent series about Dr Shardlake in Tudor times. And Miss Deryn Lake’s novels about her investigating apothecary John Rawlings, have found a loyal readership. With the best of intentions you have endeavoured, nay laboured, to emulate their success. However, they, unlike yourself, understand that historical crime fiction is not a history lesson, that we need to engage with characters and story. Please, I beg you, desist from writing any more of these works and imposing upon your readers in so dull and dreary a way.

Back in town for the Brighton City Festival, Nick Aldwinckle caught up with Karl Hyde Few dance acts can claim to have a song so imprinted on the public consciousness as Underworld’s Born Slippy. Providing the beating heart to 1996’s classic tale of drug-fuelled excess, Trainspotting, this heralded the then trio of Karl Hyde, Rick Smith and Darren Emerson’s breakthrough from cult techno/rock/ambient crossover artists to bona fide genre leaders. Since Emerson’s departure in 2002, Hyde and Smith have continued to release a huge amount of music, in the form of studio albums, live albums and online-only content, and released their seventh studio album, Oblivion With Bells, last year. The pair have been touring almost constantly for two years and are currently having a well-earned break before heading out on the road again, starting with a headline slot at this year’s Brighton City Festival. Karl Hyde took time out to chat to Latest 7. Are you looking forward to your Brighton gig? Yeah. I was actually in Brighton a few weeks ago to talk to Tinariwen when they were in town. I’ve been a fan of theirs for a while and wanted to see about
The first White Night festival takes place over the weekend of 25 to 26 October. Timed to coincide with the end of British Summer Time, it offers a chance for residents and visitors to reclaim the streets from the loud, brash traditional Saturday night. A diverse range of venues will stay open into the wee hours, including a performance by the Brighton Philharmonic in the Royal Pavilion Music Room, a live art experience in the Phoenix Art Gallery, a musical midnight swim in the local pool, 11 illuminated buildings throughout the city, a performance of Charlie Morrissey’s new piece Duets For The Small Hours, and much more besides. Musically, another highlight occurs at the Unitarian Church with Brighton’s folk artist Mary Hampton performing alongside electronic sampler/sitar player Chris Cook aka Same Actor, Adam Bushell and Tom Norrel. The performances will be lit with films and visuals. www.whitenightbrightonandhove.com
working with them. We used to live in Bexhill for about seven years in a place by the sea and would get down to Brighton quite often, and sometimes hang out with Annie Nightingale. You’re one of the biggest dance acts ever. Do you think you have anything left to prove? Definitely. We need to be able to keep changing our sound and moving forward in different ways. If we rested on what we’ve done before and kept doing stuff the same way as we always had, it would just be boring, and what’s the point of that? We deliberately surround ourselves with younger musicians and newer music. Miles Davis did that, and that says it all. Will you work with Darren Emerson again? Well, never say never! We’re good friends, so there’s no reason why not. It’s just that myself and Rick are really happy doing what we do and he’s happy doing what he does, so it doesn’t feel like there’s a need for us to work together until someone comes up with a really good reason for us to do so! You’ve embraced the internet more than most acts. How do you see it influencing music? It’s made our lives a lot more flexible. We don’t have to be in one place to record. We can play a show then be fiddling around with mp3s on a computer in the hotel room. The studio experience can be demeaning to the creative process. We can release a lot of music (we record every show and are releasing 13 live albums in October!), as well as give music away easier. It’s really helped with collaborating as we can work with people across the world a lot easier. It’s helped with our artwork and the democratic nature of our site’s ArtJam page is really interesting. The internet’s giving people a lot more control over their own music, which has to be a good thing. Brighton Centre, Friday 24 October www.underworldlive.com www.brightoncityfestival.com

Welcome Autumn by doing something different in the middle of the night with White Night Brighton & Hove Come along to mark the end of British Summer Time and use your extra hour when the clock goes back wisely, by doing something different! White Night, taking place on 25 October, is a new city-wide arts festival from 6pm to 7am to mark the end of British Summer Time. The first Nuit Blanche took place in Paris in October 2002 and is now a hugely popular global phenomenon with events in major cultural cities such as Madrid, Berlin, Montreal and Copenhagen. Now, for the first time, Nuit Blanche (or White Night) is hitting the streets of Brighton with the theme of Love! Rediscover the city at night through special events and activities in cultural venues and through trails and tours through the city's streets and secrets. Wander through the Royal Pavilion to the magnificent sounds of the Brighton Philharmonic; go for a midnight swim to underwater music at the Prince Regent; dance the night away at Komedia; expand your mind at the Phoenix and enjoy music and films in the Jubilee Library. Meander outside to explore the streets and squares of Brighton and Hove through trails and tours exposing real and imagined tales of the city. Download audio guides to a trail of buildings illuminated to reveal love stories or take part in late night treasure hunts on foot and on wheels. Prepare for one extraordinary night… See the full programme of events happening across the city at www.whitenightbrightonandhove.com
Dr John Legendary musical priest of voodoo funk, blues and jazz from New Orleans. Flamboyant, and still making some great music, his new album The City That Care Forgot is one of his best ever. Tuesday 21 October, Dome JH Mumford and Sons Once again, it seems it’s time for another folk revival. With seemingly every great new band appearing at the moment churning out polished, slightly pastoral gems and the likes of Noah and The Whale and Fleet Foxes becoming massive, the time is right for this London act. Tuesday 21 October, Komedia NA Roots Manuva It’s only right that Roots Manuva is acclaimed as the UK’s top rapper. After around fourteen years in the music industry honing his formidable talent, this latest tour promoting his new record, Slime and Reason, should be a fine showcase for this genre-twisting mic master. Tuesday 21 October, Concorde 2 NA Polar Bear The Mercury Prize-nominated progressive jazz and electronica crossover outfit mix in a little rock, hip-hop and ambient styling for good measure. Seb Roachford, Leafcutter John and co should provide a memorable show. Wednesday 22 October, Komedia JH Underworld famous for their ‘Lager, Lager, Lager‘ song (used on Trainspotting and chanted to death by over-exuberant clubbers at the time), they are one of the best live dance acts to have emerged from the dance scene, and
continue to make thoughtful and epic songs and grooves as heard on their most recent album Oblivion With Bells. Friday 24 October, Brighton Centre JH Drookit Dogs + Sawgang Buzz + The Pursuit The Dogs celebrate their birthday in style with a humdinger triple bill of all that is good in Brighton. Look out for their debut album, full of cracking stories set to a crunching folk punk beat. Saturday 25 October, Prince Albert JH Bring Me The Horizon At first glance, they may resemble the horrible breed of GHDenhanced mannequins polluting the world with bad emo music, but Las Vegas’s Bring Me The Horizon are the real deal. Bruising, brutal metalcore superstars to make you believe in modern heavy music. Sunday 26 October, Concorde 2 NA Bitter Ruin This amazing theatrical duo of Georgia Train and Ben Richards make intense folk-noir as evidenced on their new album, We’re Not Dancing, which is being launched here. An original and breathtaking live act. Monday 27 October, Brunswick JH Easy Star All-Stars New York reggae outfit who stumbled upon the idea of dubbing up Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of the Moon, and winning a cult following. They’ve also done Radiohead’s Ok Computer. Fantastic live, they emit a warm glow within their gentle rhythms. Monday 27 October, Komedia JH

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases First time around I was suspicious of New York based Alberta Cross – their sub-Neil Young efforts and lonesome balladry topped off by that somewhat irritating whining voice of Petter Ericson Stakee and their look circa 1969. Now that they’ve been given the plum (or could that be ‘cross’ to bear) job of supporting Oasis at a number of enormoarenas around the UK, they’ve re-released The Thief & The Heartbreaker EP, and breathed new life into an ailing body. What do I think now? Thank God that sometimes I was right in the first place and that my critical faculties are intact! However, I quite like a couple of tracks, particularly the atypically upbeat mid-tempo rocker ‘Hard Breaks’. The all-Swedish girl group Those Dancing Days have produced a remarkable debut album, In Our Space Hero Suits, full of sparkly, new wavesque and girl group numbers about pretty boys and other things that infect the minds of yer-average Swedish girl. Just the right side side of exuberant, this is yummily infectious. Fancy some harmony drenched guitar pop? The deceptively miserabalist monikered Attic Lights should be from the USA, but are actually from Scotland, a fertile land for this kind of thing (Teenage Fanclub et al). Friday Night Lights is pretty rapturous, melody-rich, Beach Boysesque stuff, although once again I get a slightly queasy feeling at a band in love with the sounds of a distant land at the expense of their own backyard (which, of course, like ‘attic lights’, don’t exist in Scotland...) Brighton-based Freshly Squeezed Music have been releasing a stream of quality alternative dance grooves over the last few years. The cult eightpiece London band The Voodoo Trombone Quartet are one of their better known acts and their Vibrations Ep is another superb, lounge-ska offering – good time instrumental grooviness with just a hint of cheese. When first released, Lou Reed’s follow-up to the seminal Transformer, Berlin, was reviled by most. Thirty years on, time has shown it to actually be a better, far more sophisticated record, as this new live CD accompaniment to the Julian Schnabel-directed Berlin movie shows. Recorded over two nights in 2006 when Reed performed the album in its entirety, Berlin: Live At St Ann’s Warehouse perfectly captures the original record’s brilliance, with the live arena bringing out its full surreal sense of bewildered isolation. With striking guest appearances from the likes of Antony Hegarty and Sharon Jones adding a new collaborative dimension, this is nothing short of essential. Also gracing the Engine Rooms in the next month is the great Jay Reatard. Matador Singles ’08 does what it says on the tin; collecting all 12 vinyl singles released this year on his new label, this is a stunning blast of incredibly infectious garage-punk-pop. Almost impossible to remove from the stereo, his next album proper, due next year, should continue the Memphis pop genius’ good work. Less essential is the second record from Anglo-German semi-industrial rockers Lahannya, Welcome To The Underground. Though at times clunky with cliché goth lyrics, this is a solid stab at accessible electro-rock in an imagined cyberpunk future. Catch ‘em this week at the Engine Rooms.

Will Harris on switching teams overnight and short-lived plans to hunt Zac Efron
New manager One of Brighton’s best known gay pubs is under new management. The Marlborough, which has a reputation for being a women’s venue, has been taken over by Styles Beagley. A relaunch party took place on Friday. Styles has taken over the Princes Street pub and the theatre and she will run them as linked LGBT venues. The upstairs Green Room will be turned into a chilled out space for customers to relax. Styles, who has experience of running a variety of businesses, said: “I have been coming here for 14 years. It is a great new challenge after drinking here for so long. I know most of the old customers.” The pool table is on its way back and the theatre is to be turned into an LGBT cultural space for plays, films, art exhibitions and community events. The Marlborough has a significant place in LGBT history and political gay groups, such asThe Sussex Gay Liberation Front used to meet there in the early seventies. Styles has also introduced a transgender night on Mondays. The pub does food every day and roasts on Sunday. It is open until midnight from Sunday to Thursday and 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Free in at Legends Legends has ditched the door charge at its Basement Club for the winter. The popular Marine Parade venue is allowing customers to go in and out, whenever they like free, of charge. The top bar reintroduced karaoke nights last week. Super Karaoke takes place every Wednesday from 9pm and is followed by the Super Quiz.
Creative events Creative LGBT writing events will take place in Brighton next month. Queer Writing South will host a one day masterclass with its directors Maria Jastrzebska and John McCullough, the celebrated LGBT poets, looking at the relationship between sexuality and writing. They will help participants explore some of the implications in their own practice and produce their own original fiction and poetry. There will also be a special edition of The South’s Write Club, which is an informal live literature and debate night with fiction and poetry readings and an emphasis on audience involvement. The night will feature a range of readings by LGBT writers, of both poetry and prose, and some lively debate on the concept, and the need, for a queer bookshelf. Admission will be £5/4. Maria said: “Following the hugely successful launch of our anthology Whoosh!, this summer, Queer Writing South has seen a big expansion of its network of local LGBT writers. This new series of events aims to provide them, and those new to the organisation, with a forum for discussion, debate and creative production.” Masterclass, Brighton Writers Centre, Grand Parade, Sat 15 November, 10am-4pm, £40/30. Queer Write Club, Jubilee Library, Thurs 27 November, 7pm, £5/4. Contact Nathan at: QueerWritingSouth@gmail.com or visit www.thesouth.org.uk/queerwritingsouth 46 latest 7
“Oh my God, you’ll never guess who’s gay!” “Lindsay Lohan?” I venture, shifting the phone to my other ear while checking my reflection for suspicious looking moles (with no man in my life, my main preoccupation is worrying about cancer). “Alexa Chong?” “Chung,” corrects Em. “And no, this is a real person.” “Buddy, I’m going to make this easy for you. If it’s not Zac Efron, I don’t want to hear about it.” A pause. “And if it is Zac Efron, I’m going to hunt him down like he’s a minke whale and I’m the Japanese fleet. It won’t be for ‘scientific research’ either, I’ll tell you that much…”
had the hump on my back.” “Well… what are you going to do about it?” But what can she do about it? This is a classic no-win situation, with Em caught in the no-mansland (ho ho) between supporting a good friend who may well be going through a crisis of sexuality and distancing herself from a potentially uncomfortable case of the unrequiteds. “What does everyone else think about it?” I ask. “Can one of them have a word with her?” “Probably not. They keep saying that she’s just a straight girl looking for attention.” Of course! Leave it to the gays to judge Judy. How quickly we
“How quickly we forget those times when those around us doubted our own emerging sexualities“ “It’s Judy,” she blurts out, before I get a chance to segue into an all-out Zac Attack. Judy. The one remaining individual in my group of lesbian friends to be holding out for a hero and not a her-o; the token straight girl in our midst. Was I to believe she’d really switched teams overnight? I mean, I’d heard of peer pressure, but queer pressure…? I listen attentively as Em recounts her story. How Judy had started acting strange some time before, had started telling various members of the group that she’d been having confusing feelings about girls and – more to the point – one girl in particular. “You?!” I gape, perhaps a little more incredulously than is strictly necessary.“Judy wants to trade in the entire male species for you?!” “I know,” Em deadpans. “Of course, she knew me before I
forget those times when those around us doubted our own emerging sexualities, kept telling us it was only a phase; and how easily we fall back into those same worn lines of enquiry! It looked like my friend was on her own on this one. “I was afraid you were going to say that,” she sighs. “I’ll talk to her.” In the end, the solution was a simple one: to avoid losing a friend, all Em had to do was be a friend. Which meant being there for Judy, lending her a Sapphic shoulder to cry on, even though it put her in an uncomfortable situation. Because people, much like moles, can change without warning. When they do, all you can do is accept the situation and tackle it head on. After all, true friends can’t be lasered off so easily.

She says it how she sees it

Jamie’s Ministry of Food Tuesdays 9pm, Channel 4 Personally, I wouldn’t be upset if Jamie Oliver disappeared from my TV screen. I find him patronising and completely out of touch with regular everyday people and their lives. And boy does he realise this when trying to make the entire country cook, starting in Rotherham, which is in the most overweight region in the UK. For advice, he asked the woman who famously sabotaged his School Dinners programme by taking junk food orders from the kids and selling it to them through the school fence. I’m pleased to say she put him in his place. The idea of his Ministry of Food is basically this: he teaches one recipe to 10 people, they in turn each teach that recipe to two other people and so on and so on until the entire world can cook meatballs. Now the first problem Jamie’s attention was brought to was: “who is going to pay for the ingredients?” These being the ingredients that the people have to use when teaching their two others. Good question (just goes to show you can’t do everything for a fiver, doesn’t it Jamie!). His ideas are good and yes it is a shame that some people live entirely off takeaways, but does Jamie really think he can make a difference? Does he really think that by cooking his special dishes, made easy, he can decrease the size of waistbands everywhere, whilst his is steadfastly increasing? There is no doubt in my mind that he has anything but good intentions, but what he doesn’t have is common sense. Some people don’t have enough money to get the bus, let alone pay for extra ingredients. As one of his pupils pointed out, it works out cheaper to walk down the road and buy a takeaway than it does to get the bus to the supermarket, buy all the food and cook it – whilst looking after two small children. And get this, he is not only satisfied with barging in on people’s lives, he is barging into empty shop spaces so all those people that are free throughout the day can pop in and learn how to cook food they can’t afford to buy. Fantastic! Each week he does more things with more people to try and make his failing idea work. Like teaching an entire football pitch full of people how to cook. His defiance and strong belief is amazing, and yes we should all eat a gazillion vegetables a day, but when you live in the real world things are sometimes a little different. We don’t all have the time to do these things, we might not want to eat what he says. He just doesn’t seem to realise that no one cares as much as him. Yes, it would be nice, but how are we meant to be cooking ourselves to health, when he wants us planted on the sofa watching him?
TUESDAY 21 Watership Down ★★★★✩ (1978, Film4, 7.10pm. Dir Martin Rosen) The animated feature with bite, it chronicles the journeys of a group of rabbits to find a new home. Based on Richard Adams’ classic tale, Fiver, Hazel and co meet a batty bird, some hutch honeys and a regiment of blimmin’ scary bunnies on their travels. Featuring the vocal talents of John Hurt, Richard Briers, Ralph Richardson and Hannah Gordon.
WEDNESDAY 22 Me Without You ★★★✩✩ (2001, BBC1, 11.25pm. Dir Sandra Goldbacher) Starring Anna Friel and a pretty good Brit-accented Michelle Williams as dysfunctional friends from childhood onwards, through the eighties and nineties. Fashion aside, which is beautifully demonstrated by way of art school, the pair demonstrate a well crafted friendship that’s never all plaited bracelets and troll dolls.
THURSDAY 23 The Glimmer Man ★✩✩✩✩ (1996, Five, 10.05pm. (Dir John Gray) Starring Steven Seagal and Keenan Wayans, thus doubling up on the low expectations already. An average B-movie action flick of two cops paired up to tackle a serial killer who’s terrorising the city. Seagal plays the unconventional under suspicion of being the murderer; Wayans the new age policeman with faith in a man misunderstood by the system. Feel queasy yet?
FRIDAY 24 Get Shorty ★★★✩✩ (1995, ITV2, 9pm. (Dir Barry Sonnenfeld) Based on the Elmore Leonard novel, mobster John Travolta travels to Hollywood to collect on a debt from pulp director Gene Hackman and ends up being drawn into the crazy Tinseltown world. Fun comedy.
Galaxy Quest ★★★★✩ (1999, BBC1, 11.40pm. Dir Dean Parisot)
48 latest 7
21 – 27 Oct
Movies on the box this week Successful sci-fi spoof of the kind of series that has the conventions and the stick-on ears – you know who you are Star Trek. Starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman as the fading actors from the series, they get kidnapped by aliens who believed the show and ask for their help in defeating even bigger aliens. Random sci-fi fun.
SATURDAY 25 Halloween ★★★★✩ (1978, BBC1, 12.30am. Dir John Carpenter) The original squealer. Harrowing horror-suspense story about a murderous lunatic who escapes incarceration and returns to his home town intent on reliving his crime. Fifteen years before, on Halloween , the boy viciously stabbed his sister to death. Now he is pursued by the doctor who pronounced him to be evil personified. Some like it Hot ★★★★★ (1959, Sky Movies Classics, 9pm. Dir Billy wilder) Two musicians witness a massacre and try to find a way out of the city before they are killed by the mob. They join an all girl band, so the two dress up as women. Then one falls for another band member but can’t tell her his gender, and the other has a rich suitor who will not take “No,“ for an answer. Classic comedy.
SUNDAY 26 Rabbit-Proof Fence ★★★✩✩ (2002, BBC1, 10.50pm. Dir Phillip Noyce) Australian drama film based on the true story of three young mixed-race Aboriginal girls, who ran away from the Moore River Native Settlement, to return to their Aboriginal families. The girls walk for nine weeks along 1,500 miles of rabbit-proof fence to return to their community while being tracked by a white authority figure.
MONDAY 27 Letters from Iwo Jima ★★★★✩ (2006, Sky Movies Indie, 6pm. Dir Clint Eastwood) Oscar winning Letters portrays the Battle of Iwo Jima from the perspective of the Japanese soldiers and is a companion piece to Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers, depicting the same battle from the American viewpoint. The overall battle as well as several of the commanders are based upon actual people and events.

H and the team discover a wire on a charred body at an incinerated meth lab. Was the body a bomb? Did it have an iPod with ‘Disco Inferno’ playing? Hm.

wednesday 22 Heroes BBC2, 9pm Stealth is not a word many would use to describe our ‘heroes’ these days. What with blowing up in the sky over New York, recovering from fatal gun shot wounds and then the fun at the bank, future Peter is having a job keeping it on the QT. So he takes on a massive power to try and stop the nasty future. Yikes!
Bond: The South Bank Show ITV1, 10.40pm Melvyn Bragg takes a closer look at everyboy’s favourite spy’s file. From creation, to film portrayal, an interview with Mr Bond numero uno–Sir Sean Connery, and behind the scenes on the newest feature Quantum Of Solace. And an interview with current incarnation Daniel Craig. Do be careful, Bond.
Hell’s Kitchen USA ITV2, 8pm Gordon Ramsay leads the way in this fourth series of the US version of the chef competition. This week the chefs are challenged to teach gourmet meat preparations to housewives. Surely this can’t be too hard. Housewives do a heck of a lot – generally all at the same time. Plus a pressured dinner service.

CelebAir ITV2, 8pm They’ve not been grounded yet, the remaining three celebrities in the competition battle it out, with one falling at the first hurdle and the other two going head to head at the final aviation challenge.

Friday Night With Jonathan Ross BBC1, 10.35pm We’re loving a bit of Wossy, and with Parky off air there really is no competition in the Friday night chatting stakes – sorry Al Murray.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot ITV3, 8pm Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is not the best traveller, maybe that’s how he ended up settling in London. Took the ferry and vowed never to take it back again over those choppy seas. But tonight he’s braving the waves and the seasickness as he escorts a shipment of Liberty Bonds to New York. Guess who dies first.
