It’s nearly pantomime season, but not all of our Sussex venues have chosen a traditional panto this year. The wide variety on offer means you could choose to watch a musical, ballet or bawdy romp. See our four-page feature (p23) to decide which Christmas shows you fancy seeing. Andrew Kay met one of his heroes recently – Atul Kochhar, the Michelin-starred chef who is transforming British ideas about Indian food. Atul, who was a storming success in the Great British Menu, is designing the food for Brighton’s Silk Ball. The glamorous event in aid of Rockinghorse, the children’s charity, takes place later this month. Find out how you can be there and read Andrew’s interview with Atul on page 10. I have just come back from a charity event in London; the Stonewall Awards which celebrate people who have made a positive difference to the lives of lesbian, gay and bisexual people in the last year. Find a full list of winners in Latest Gay (p36). Seth Lakeman is in Brighton next week for a gig at the Corn Exchange. Music editor Jeff Hemmings asked him about being at the forefront of the reinvention of folk (p32). If you’ve never been to Glyndebourne because you think it’s elitist, see Andrew’s reviews of three accessible shows (p27). Tickets start at just £7 or £14 seated. Feeling a little overweight in the run up to Christmas? Zara Baker looks at the benefits of laser lipo on the health page (p16). Did you see the thought-provoking adverts for Mankind, the men’s sexual abuse charity, in last week’s issue? Vicci Heaysman from Mankind has written to Latest 7 to explain the thinking behind the campaign (p14). If our Jaime is a girl after your own heart and you’re a dedicated clubber, read her review of Trash Mondays at Brighton Coalition (p33) and check out what’s on this week in club and music listings (p35). But if you feel like you’re getting a bit old for all that shenanigans, you’re not on your own. Alison has now officially retired from clubbing and has found a new, more sedate pastime. See her column on page 7. Mighty Boosh stars Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt are in Brighton this weekend and you can meet them. See kids and events (p31). On the same page, John Davies considers racial identity and movement in his review of Catch a Fish from the Sea, Nasreen Akhtar’s account of her search for a husband. Our film interview this week is with Colin Firth, who talks about his role in the movie of the Noel Coward classic Easy Virtue (p28). If you fancy getting a DVD in, Victoria Nangle has reviewed some of the best recent comedy releases (p30). Let us know if there’s anything you’d like us to cover letters@thelatest.co.uk

Men’s accessories launch
With Tim Richardson StreetSmart initiative On Wednesday 29 October 2008 at Terre à Terre, StreetSmart launched their annual initiative to tackle homelessness at Christmas and is calling on Brighton’s restaurants for support. The StreetSmart scheme is now in its eighth year in Brighton and Hove and is looking to build on its previous success, having raised more than £13,000 last year alone and almost £75,000 since it started in the city. During November Philip Taylor (Terre a Terre), Alison Ali, and December, at participating restaurants Glenn Pougnet (Street Smart), Amanda Powley (Terre a Terre) across Brighton and Hove, a voluntary £1 is added to the table bill at the end of each meal. At the end of the Christmas period the restaurants pass on the total money raised to StreetSmart, who use the money to support reputable charities across Brighton. Some of the high-profile restaurants taking part this year include: Indian Summer, Food for Friends, Momma Cherri’s, Terre à Terre, Due South, Seven Dials Restaurant and The Hanbury Club.
On Thursday 30 October 2008, Brighton-based men’s accessories store denisonboston, the men’s accessory brand for the contemporary gentleman, launched their autumn/winter collection and celebrated their fifth birthday at the new showroom studio located at 9A&B Eaton Grove, Hove. The collection fuses the denisonboston signature combination of modernist forms, pattern, stainless steel and hand-enamelled detailing with stylish innovative packaging and strong simple branding. The celebrations continued well into the evening with champagne and nibbles served up by the girls from Mischief Promotions and on the decks supplying the music was Pippa Knowles from Baroque Bespoke Jewellery.

Swanning around Alison Swann has decided that clubbing is out and comedy is in
Having a laugh I made a decision at the weekend, I am too old to go clubbing. I can go to gigs; I can go to comedy clubs; I can go to restaurants, and if I really need to dance, I can go to the club on the seafront that is referred to as ‘pull a pensioner night,’ but my clubbing days are well and truly over and I for one am relieved. This is down to me, there’s not some age barrier at the club door. I have recently discussed this with various friends of the same age group (late thirties) – all of whom have completed the full course when it comes to stating that you too were once a ’clubber.’ You have to have spent more than one year of your life coming home after six o’clock in the morning and have at least a week’s worth of days in your head where you have absolutely no idea what happened – but you know you had a bloody amazing time. Even if all you can remember about it was driving round the M25 packed into the back of some random bloke’s car who insisted on playing Robert Miles’s ‘Children‘ so many times it felt like a scene out of Groundhog Day.
“I blagged my way into a club where I’d heard rumours that Debbie Harry would be performing” Okay, I know older people go clubbing and when I was younger I was awestruck and respectful of the people who were nudging forty or fifty and still out there ‘throwing their shapes‘ around the dance floor. And I still think yeah, go for it. But it’s not for me. In many respects it was a fantastic time in my life and I was slimmer than I have ever been. But it was always part of an adventure that I took to with huge gusto when I was younger, and like that well-worn cliché – all good things must come to an end. I have seen the most amazing and extraordinary sights in my clubbing ‘career’, most of which are far too er, hmm, ‘leftfield’ to get through my editor’s button to be detailed within the pages of this magazine. Although one I can let slip – and I have always wanted to chuck out in print – was when I blagged my way into a club in Manhattan, where I’d heard
rumours that Debbie Harry would be performing that night. It was a tiny ‘alternative‘ club called Mother in the meatpacking district, which has now had a right scrub and wash up but at the time wasn’t quite so shiny and new. More dark, dingy and fabulous. She did appear, tottering out onto a tiny stage, where she removed most of her clothes and acted out a rather ‘alternative’ version of Miss Saigon. I do have photos to prove this and it has sometimes nagged at me why I’ve never sold them to the tabloids, when I’m scrabbling around trying to work out how much extra money I need to get those red letters to stop coming through the door. But hey, it was part of my clubbing journey and it just would be a rubbish thing to do. But if you are nice to me and want ever to see them, well I might show you one day. Oh and in case you are wondering… She was fantastic! As I pack up my dancing shoes for good it all ties in quite nicely with my new love affair with comedy clubs. Brighton has an extraordinary number of brilliant comedy nights and a hugely vibrant scene, which until I started comedy school recently, I really didn’t know. You’re all it! So, much like when I discovered the joy of clubbing, I have fallen in love good and hard and now it’s time for a new affair – bring it on.

Dani’s diary
Sandra Omo looks at the attitude problems some designers can have
Dani describes the true effects of suffering a nervous breakdown
This week, for the first time, I found myself saying no to a designer. There was nothing personal about it, I just knew from the moment this student designer walked into the changing room that I would not be modelling any of her props. It started with her attitude towards another model who she treated like a piece of crap. We were backstage at a fashion show that was due to begin in a couple of hours, trying on and fitting clothes. Yes, as you can guess from the time frame, it was a little show put together in a hurry to boost the profile of a yearly exhibition that is still in its infant stage. No one was being paid for this, so it was a good gesture to assist one another, as well as to boost the young designers’ profiles as they were unknown. I chose to do it because the agent organising it, who is also a friend, required my presence, plus the fact that one of my parents is from the country the exhibition was organised in. As we tried on clothes backstage, a model went up to this designer, as is the custom when fitting, and asked if she had anything she wanted her to wear. But this student looked at the model with disgust and said, “I didn’t choose you. I have to choose you first and I have not chosen you, so I do not need you.” Now the words were not the problem, it was the disgust with which she said them. The model was embarrassed but still said “OK” as she walked away.
“Even the super-designers do not treat models like rubbish so why should anyone else?” The same student walked over to me, tossed a dress at me and said: “You try this on.” Now, that dress was inappropriate for the show as it was a family exhibition – why did the models have to be half-naked? In addition, I just didn’t want to model any dress for this particular student because of her attitude, so I took it off, handed it back to her and said: “Sorry, I can not wear this.” She was gutted but I did not care. The show went on fine, and I got the fulfilment from doing my quota to assist. I am a professional model and not the type that will ever get into a fuss with a designer. This was a show put together to help the students build their profiles. If you are going start treating the models like crap now, what will you do if you ever get to the level of Versace and the rest? The truth is that the super-designers do not treat models like rubbish so why should anyone else? I have heard countless models complain about ill-treatment many times. I have even heard and seen some myself, and each time I wonder why some designers have to behave like this. Is it insecurity or the tension of backstage? I have no idea. But I am proud that despite all of this, models do their jobs professionally and do not necessarily have to stoop down to replying in the same manner. Then I ask myself how far will these designers go with an attitude like this? The answer is: not far at all. That explains why there is no such behaviour among successful designers. 8 latest 7
Jennifer Lopez admitted to having a nervous breakdown in 2002. It happened while she was in her trailer filming a movie (one that was undoubtedly rubbish). This is what she said happened: “I was like: ‘I don’t want to move. I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to do anything.’” Apparently, after she didn’t want to move, her bodyguard took her to a doctor where she refused pills and was told simply to “Go home and go to bed.” She said: “He told me to go back to work on Monday after a weekend of sleeping. So that’s what I did.” Wow! Jennifer Lopez not only has everything she wants but her nervous breakdown lasted one weekend! Excellent, good for her – what a load of bull. It sounds to me (and I’m no doctor) that she was simply suffering from exhaustion. When you have a nervous breakdown you are hit with all of the following in one fell swoop: heart palpitations; diaphoresis or perspiration; trembling or tremors; dyspnea; hyperventilation; chills; hot flushes; nausea; abdominal pain or abdominal cramping; chest pain; headaches; dizziness; light-headedness; faintness; tightness in the throat; tunnel vision; trouble swallowing; a sense of impending death; and feeling like one is experiencing a myocardial infarction (a heart attack). You do not freeze up and think to yourself, ‘I do not want to move’ and then have a lie down and feel better. I had my nervous breakdown two years ago and I still feel all of the symptoms listed above every time I have to leave the house, every time I have to get on a bus, every time my phone rings, every time I go further than my regular place at lunch, every time I stay somewhere that isn’t my room, every time I go out of an evening.
“I am quite a convincing little actress and I can hide it quite well. That is until I get home” You get the message, it is all the time. Not just occasionally – constantly! I am quite a convincing little actress and I can hide it quite well. That is until I get home and then I want nothing more than to sit quietly and build up some of the energy it took to force myself through the day. Some days are better than others. That’s a general fact. And you will never be fully rid of these horrible feelings. You could have a run of a few days of feeling OK and then it all hits you again – and again and again. The fact that people like Jennifer Lopez claim to have had nervous breakdowns and describe them like they do makes it a lot harder for people who genuinely have suffered and are still suffering with either a panic attack or panic disorder to explain it to other people. Firstly they think that because there are no obvious outward symptoms then there can’t be anything wrong. If you do manage to convince them that something is wrong, they either ask if there are any tablets you can take, tell you to go and get help or think the whole thing can be solved by eating more vegetables and having a cuddle. Some people experience different things when having a nervous breakdown. But none of it can be solved by having a relaxing weekend or a lie down!

Rock legends Jo joins local tailor Gresham Blake for a designer star-studded night with rock ‘n’ roll greats I received a phone call from celebrity tailor Gresham Blake and his wife Fal, inviting me along to the Classic Rock Awards. The metal gongs were organised by Classic Rock magazine (apparently these metal gurus sell more copies than the NME), and were held at the lesser known Park Lane Hotel. Gresham, no stranger to rock stars, was a sponsor of the event, and had also designed some of the suits that organisers donned on the night. After drinks at the trendier Met Bar, we made our way to the hotel entrance and fought our way through the paps to a welcoming glass of champagne. The foyer was filled with a who’s who of rock legends, including Whitesnake frontman, David Coverdale, Primal Screamers – Bobby Gillespie and Mani, Slash from Guns N’ Roses and now more recently Velvet Revolver, legendary promoter Harvey Goldsmith, Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, Jeff Beck and another Brighton resident – Gary Moore. Last to arrive – and followed by cameras galore was Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon, who was picking up a living legend award. We then sat down to a slap up three course dinner, checked out the goody bag and then settled down the ceremony, introduced by pint-sized broadcaster Nicky Horne. The winners included the Foo Fighters, who won Band of the Year and flamboyant Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley, who was crowned showman of the year. Other recipients included Harvey Goldsmith, Ronnie Wood, Whitesnake, Led Zeppelin and Kings of Leon. On our table were rock legends Ronnie Wood and his son Jessie plus guitar legend, Jeff Beck, and sitting next to me was Classic Rock editor Sian Llewellyn, who gave me a running commentary on all the rock gossip! Ronnie left new girlfriend, 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova, at home, which went down like a lead balloon with the paparazzi. During the dinner, Ronnie, who has given up alcohol, ordered several espressos and glasses of coke – while son Jessie tucked into the complimentary pints of Guinness. The ceremony also celebrated the tenth anniversary of Classic Rock magazine. Editor in chief Scott Rowley made a speech at the top of the awards and said the rock scene was in rude health: “The Classic Rock Roll of Honour is a celebration of rock music as the most vital and vibrant genre of music.” Can’t say fairer than that Scott!

CELEBRITYINTERVIEW
Spice world Whether he’s waking up our senses on Saturday Kitchen or beating Gary Rhodes in the south east heat of the Great British Menu, Atul Kochhar is one celebrity chef to watch out for. Andrew Kay caught up with him as he prepares for his stint at the annual Silk Ball in aid of local children’s charity Rockinghorse
Will you be working with the team at the Hilton Metropole? Yes, I will going down to Brighton and on the day I will be taking some of my team to work alongside them. Some of the chefs will also be coming to Benares to do training and to get a feel for what we do here. So will you be cooking on the night? I will oversee the entire meal, but I will be joining the guests and enjoying eating the meal. Will the chefs be able embrace the essence of your kitchen? I am sure they will, the head chef came to see me and he was very professional. I do not see any problem. You have recently achieved prominence on TV, has that changed the people who come to your restaurant? People that came before still come, but it has brought in a lot of new customers, it has been very good for business and opened new doors. Does it take you out of the kitchen more than you would like? Yes, but not too much, it is an important part of the business strategy.
Atul Kochhar is at the top of his game; his Mayfair restaurant Benares has one Michelin star, his Hampshire restaurant is already getting great notices and since the Great British Menu he is a top choice for television. When Rockinghorse, the Sussex children’s medical charity, decided on an Eastern theme for its annual fundraising ball, it ambitiously approached Atul for help. The ball’s organisers were stunned when Atul generously agreed to design the menu free of charge and provide expert advice to the venue’s chefs who will be preparing the meal.
You have recently opened a restaurant in Hampshire called Vatika Yes, I will be cooking there at least two nights every week, it is very exciting and already selling out at weekends.
How were you approached to create the menu for the Silk Ball? By email, it outlined the good work that Rockinghorse does for sick children. I personally had experience of this as my daughter was extremely ill when she was born, it was very close to my own heart. I know what parents go through and at that point it turned my life around. I knew then that any opportunity that came for me to work for children or with children I would take. I said yes immediately.
Britain is now exploring regionality in Indian cuisine Yes, this is true, only 20 years ago there were perhaps less than 20 Southern Indian restaurants. Now we are looking across the continent. I sensed the public embraced your food because it was different, they weren’t going to make it at home – unlike the British chefs My food came across as more exotic – yes, it has a very rich spice heritage, it’s a different technique.
On the Great British Menu was there a resistance to your dishes? Yes, there was but I did not mind. I feel that the Indian food that I make is a result of a partnership between our two countries for 400 years. After independence that tie remained and the cuisine blossomed. This is the only country outside India where curry is really understood.
‘‘What is your favourite ingredient? ‘My wife’ ‘In the kitchen?’ ‘Oh, everywhere!”
Are the English afraid of spice? Not frightened just unfamiliar with the techniques needed to use them in the way that I do. There is a British macho thing about eating the hottest curry Yes, but it is madness, a mania, a real nuisance, chilli as a spice has a wonderful flavour that is what people need to know.
Is there an expectation in a Michelin-starred restaurant that ingredients will be expensive? I think there is but I want people to know that it does not have to be expensive, just prime, honest and at the top of its season. Michelin is more interested in skill. Do you have a favourite ingredient? My wife. And in the kitchen? Oh, wherever (laughter). Seriously, coriander. And a food vice? Smoked cheese, I have recently discovered it and I am up for it at all times. And the menu for Brighton? Oh that I am keeping a secret, I want it to be a real surprise!
Andrew Kay was invited to meet chef Andrew Kochhar and eat at his Mayfair restaurant Benares in the run up to the Rockinghorse Silk Ball. The ball, with a bespoke menu designed by Kochhar, will take place at the Hilton Brighton Metropole hotel on Saturday 29 November. Money raised will go towards Rockinghorse’s work to provide medical equipment and services for children across the county, particularly at Brighton’s Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital. Tickets are £95 and include a drinks reception, a delicious three-course dinner with wine, and an evening packed with entertainment, live music and dodgems.

CELEBRITYINTERVIEW It’s been a full week since I stepped over the threshold of Benares in Berkeley Square at the very heart of Mayfair. It’s my old stomping ground and I know the area well. You can easily sum it up with the word ‘posh‘. And for many that word gives off a warning, posh can mean elitist, unfriendly snobbish and above all expensive. Sometimes that is appropriate but I very soon discover that at Benares it is far from the truth. There is no denying that this is a very sophisticated, very grown-up, very smart restaurant indeed. But unfriendly – certainly not, the welcome is huge and generous. And expensive? No, not for cooking of this calibre and in these surroundings. I am here to interview the chef, who in the last two years has become a household name after his many appearances on TV. We chat, but he is eager to get back to his kitchen and I do wonder how many of his fellow TV chefs do that, actually still cook. Luckily he leaves me with his delightful assistant Davinia to share lunch. I have craved tasting this man’s food since I first watched him making the other competing chefs on the Great British Menu look like rabbits caught in the headlights. There is a calm focus to him that at times makes him seem cold and slightly aloof. In the flesh he is nothing of the kind, he is warm, open and friendly, and he likes a joke. I sort of want him to stay and eat with us, but at the same time I want to know he is in the kitchen too. I note the fact that Davinia is as excited as I am about choosing lunch, obviously the staff don’t get to dine from the a la carte menu every day of the week. While we read the menu the waiter delivers tiny papads and four exquisite chutneys. I almost drain the pot of gooseberry and the tomato and ginger is severely dented. And what a menu, how do you choose? I could have done it with a pin, there was simply nothing that I would not have liked to try. I asked Davinia for advice but she was in the same position. In the end she had the Tandoori Ratan and I had the Karara Kekda, soft shell crab and squid salad. Now don’t be mislead by the tandoori tag, yes he uses a tandoor and yes the major influence on his food comes from the complex spicing of his native India, but this is no curry house. There is no curry as such on the menu. This is modern British cuisine and I wish there were more of it. Her dish comprised of lamb, a huge nugget of chicken and a massive prawn. It’s no mean dish, as big as many a main course in other ‘starred’ restaurants. My crab is sublime, crisp outside, the spiced coating fine and delicate but with real definition of flavour, and the cooking is precise, the flesh inside remains soft and sweet. The squid is equally great, tiny rings in the crispest coating are tender as chicken fillet, extraordinarily good and again generous. A plum sauce on the side is perfectly balanced. Davinia moves on to Tawa Jingha, giant prawns dusted with curry leaf and served with a deep red tomato and onion sauce. It looks wonderful and I gaze in envy until my Gosht Ki Pasliyan arrives. Kentish lamb cutlets, almost two inches thick have been infused with fennel before cooking in the tandoor. The meat is amazingly tender and sweet, the spicing once again defined but not masking the rich animal flavours and there are three of them. I cannot believe my luck. The chops are served with a salad of rocket, which is studded with goats cheese, olives and semi-dried tomatoes. A simple mint sauce to one side is great and I dip into it, but not with every morsel. It’s a princely dish and utterly satisfying on all levels. We also ordered the bread basket and we make light work of a flat bread stuffed with cauliflower and one flavoured with saffron. In fact I could eat that saffron bread every day for the rest of my life and I doubt I would become bored of it.
“I could eat that saffron bread every day for the rest of my life and doubt I would become bored” Satisfied already, and more than content, I agree to study the dessert menu. It is of course fatal, once seen I have to try, and fortunately so does Davinia so I don’t feel quite so greedy. We both choose a warm carrot and pistachio wrap with lemon grass ice cream. Wow! I know, not a lot of detail there, but again I say it, wow. With lunch we had a glass of excellent rosé each and after sipped mint tea which came with tiny petit fours, once of which I would kill for the recipe for, sweet, crisp, then suddenly dissolving and leaving the mouth tasting of excellent curd cheese, quite brilliant. There are no prices on the website but do not be afraid, my dishes came to £42.40, half the price of a good West End theatre ticket and a fraction compared to the quarter of a million pounds being asked for a Rolls Royce next door. That makes Atul’s artistry seem like a bargain. I could also have eaten for much less had I had the £25 lunch menu. This is cooking of the highest order using ingredients sourced to the same level, and Atul is the nightingale that now sings in Berkeley Square.

A dentist is offering free health checks to mark Mouth Cancer Action week at Dental Health Spa in Queen’s Road, Brighton between 18 and 20 November. Mouth cancer kills one person every five hours in the UK, more than cervical and testicular cancer combined. Survival rates are 90 percent with early detection but 50 percent once the cancer spreads. Registration has opened for Brighton Festival Fringe. Performers and promoters who want to be part of the world’s third biggest Fringe festival need to sign up before 9 February. It is thought the 2009 Fringe will eclipse Fringe 2008, when more than 100,000 tickets were sold and events ranged from a poetry brothel to Moscow State Circus. Effigies of the United States presidential candidates and Uncle Sam were burned at Lewes Bonfire Night. The event last Wednesday attracted an estimated 50,000 people, despite organisers advising people from outside the town not to come.

Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears on the importance of history On the 11th day of the 11th month, I always stop, remember and give thanks to those who have fallen defending democracy in foreign lands. Last week I attended a Remembrance ceremony at Whitehawk primary school. It’s crucial that we teach children about the lessons of history, and the sacrifices that the sons and daughters of Brighton and Hove have made fighting for all our futures. Remembrance is a small demonstration of our gratitude. But, I think we also owe it to those brave souls, who fought so valiantly, to celebrate what we have now and to build a better future. To do this we must invest in our young people, and nurture their skills. At the city council, we try hard to foster creative talent. Through the Arts Commission we support art in the city and over the last two years we’ve channelled over £1m of additional funds into the arts, produced over 1,600 performances and 300 new projects for the city, attracted audiences totalling over 300,000 and involved over 5,000 artists. I think our efforts are paying off and while I’ve always known that Brighton and Hove is a city packed full of creative talent, last night I saw a particularly impressive example of these efforts with Brighton Youth Orchestra’s beautiful performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Promoting the arts in our schools is important to me. It’s great that the council’s backing helps our most talented youngsters to perform in famous venues – but it’s also about giving the children who haven’t yet realised their potential to fully develop their talents. We must give every child the confidence to see futures they hadn’t before thought possible.

Helping our children develop their creative talents is about more than putting on a good show or keeping people entertained. Over 10 percent of all the jobs in the city are in the creative industries. So increasing these opportunities is vital for our economic future and has the knock-on effect of boosting jobs and growth. I know that if the council continues to succeed in promoting opportunities the children I saw in Whitehawk primary school will have a brighter future – the sort of future the country’s fallen heroes fought for.

NEWS
Crime success Chief Superintendent Paul Pearce this week completes his first 18 months as commander of Brighton and Hove police – and what a watch it has been. He’s not taking full credit for it but during the same period, the city has seen a dramatic fall in crime and massive increase in crime detection. In an exclusive interview with Latest 7, Mr Pearce tells of his targets reached and his commitment to the future.
“I and my team are committed to giving the public a more local, accessible and accountable service” He said policing was a complicated business but, like a peeled onion, it has a simple core: “Making people safer and making people feel safer.” He said: “Making people safer is about us taking responsibility for preventing crime, and where it is committed, detecting it. Reported crime in Brighton and Hove has dropped from an annual figure of 32,500 18 months ago to below 26,000 today. “The detection rate rose from less than one in five crimes reported to us to one in three. There is no doubt that in terms of making people safer the police, working together with partner agencies, are succeeding.” But Chf Supt Pearce said reducing crime does not always translate into a greater feeling of safety. In the 1980s and 1990s, the police lost sight of how important a visible presence was for making people feel safe, while national targets concentrated on easily measured crime that took officers off the streets. He said: “The police and the government, which imposed the targets, have recognised this and we are now investing heavily in visible neighbourhood policing. This means putting a policing presence back into communities with a named contact who people can engage with and talk about local problems. “This is proving to be popular with communities in Sussex but we must continue to balance what people tell us they want from their
police against the things that we as professionals know that we must deal with. “At neighbourhood meetings, issues such as child abuse, internet crime, human trafficking and even terrorism are never raised as local issues, but these are areas into which we must put significant effort. We understand what the causes of crime in the city are, so while we are seeking to increase our visible presence in communities in order to make people feel safer, we will continue the drive to make them safer too.” Chf Supt Pearce said in Brighton and Hove most crime is driven by misuse of alcohol and of Class A drugs, specifically heroin and crack cocaine. Robbery, burglary and theft are committed to fund drug habits, while excessive drinking is a major cause of violent crime including domestic violence and criminal damage. Tackling these issues are two out of the three policing priorities in the city. He said: “The third is dealing with anti-social behaviour (ASB), which people tell us is what disrupts their lives in the places they live and work in. The police do not tackle these crimes alone – reducing crime and ASB is done with other agencies. “This is because alcohol and drug misuse, and the attitudes that make people commit ASB, are social problems and enforcement is only one means of dealing with them. I and my team are committed to giving the public a more local, accessible and accountable service, while at the same time ensuring we deal with the serious crimes that can undermine the safety and wellbeing of the people in Brighton and Hove.”

Do’h! A deer… A deer dumped by her mother has become the leader of a herd of cattle. Farmers are amazed that wherever the doe goes, the Aberdeen Angus steers are sure to follow. Southern News and Pictures photographer Stephen Lawrence snapped the rogue deer using a long lens on Ditchling Common. Farmer Elaine Taylor said: “When we take feed out to the herd the doe runs off and the steers follow her. They normally come to us to get the feed but it seems she has become the leader. “It may seem cute but it’s a real nuisance. She makes it very difficult for us when we need to round up the cattle.” Experts believe the deer will eventually leave the steers when she starts looking for romance and a mate.
Hove pest A sex pest who gropes women in the street in Hove has struck for the 13th time. His latest victim, 18, was walking home at 10.15pm when the man pounced from behind. Police said he pinches bottoms but has also carried out more serious assaults. Victims range from teenagers to women in their 30s, and all were attacked near Hove train station. The first attack happened in March and the majority occurred east of Sackville Road. Det Sgt David Osland said: “We do not want to alarm women but ask that they remain alert as this man’s behaviour is particularly intimidating to women. Police have rapidly responded to each report, conducting area searches, stopping and checking anyone nearby and making house-to-house enquiries among their investigations. “Because of the suddenness of the assaults, with the offender sometimes approaching from behind, the descriptions of the man vary. Looking at the descriptions we are keen to trace a man in his 20s, of slim to medium build, between 5ft 5 and 5ft 9 tall and often described as being of dark European or Asian appearance. “In the latest incident the man was wearing a waxy-looking waterproof jacket that was navy blue with lighter, possibly beige, backs to the sleeves. We would appeal to anyone who has seen a man loitering in their area at night, or any suspicious activity, to call us. If you are approached by such a man, dial 999 immediately. “It is also possible this man has approached other women so we would also like to hear from them. I would urge women to take extra care when out at night in the town, and not to walk alone. We will be providing extra patrols in the area to provide extra reassurance.” If you have any information call Brighton and Hove CID on 0845 60 70 999 quoting Operation Sella, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Your call is free and you could be entitled to a reward.

Round ups and rumblings from the Latest Sports Bunker
Give a little respect Latest Sport’s Joe Curtin reflects on the twist and turn climax to this year’s Formula One There were certainly fireworks last week. Apart from that annoying hangover from the Christian wars of the Renaissance that annoys dogs and anyone over 19, we saw the explosive ending to this year’s Formula One Championship. Lewis Hamilton, the boy wonder of British motor racing, won the title in the most exciting climax for a British driver, since James Hunt in 1976, again for McLaren. There are plenty of other comparisons between Hunt’s victory season and Hamilton’s. Hunt, a Brit in a McLaren, was fighting for the title against a Ferrari and had run-ins with the sport’s authorities. Both won the British Grand Prix and both (after Lauda’s terrible accident in Germany and consequent retirement in the final race) had to finish within certain points. And both, excitingly, in the final laps did enough to clinch the Championship. Phew, that’ll learn those foreign types and their Ferrari fetish. Although it is incredibly refreshing to see a Brit finish fourth, and for a change actually win something. Aaah, how very British. Shame that’s not happening in the Rugby League World Cup (or the cricket, or the football, or the – anything other than snooker or darts really).

Following the adverts that Mankind ran last week in The Argus and Latest 7, I wanted to talk about some of the issues that were touched on. The adverts highlight that men are victims of rape and sexual abuse and not just the perpetrators. In our society the emphasis is put on women as being potential targets of sexual attacks, so many men find it difficult to come forward for help. Three in 20 men are victims of sexual violence and we want to reach out, let them know that there is someone to tell. There is much ignorance and misinformation surrounding male rape and sexual abuse. Society’s lack of understanding about the size of the problem together with the pressure on men to appear strong and masculine can increase feelings of confusion, guilt, shame and doubt. Suppression of these feelings can create many complex issues including anxiety, intimacy issues, substance misuse and relationship problems. This is the first time that we have used direct advertising to inform the public of our existence. We hope the coverage raises public awareness and enables more men who have experienced sexual violence to approach Mankind. This will give them the opportunity to reflect on how their traumatic experiences have affected their lives, helping the past to be put to rest and a new future to emerge. Vicci Heaysman (external relations officer, Mankind)

It is surprising to witness the overseas antipathy to Hamilton, and it’s something I find hard to understand. I was in a shop the day before the Brazilian Grand Prix and the foreign shopkeeper was hoping for a Massa win. His fellow drivers have censured him this season. And the Brazilian crowd at Interlagos was jovially partisan. How can such a young attacking driver, with his Pussycat Doll girlfriend – see Hunt (although he had many), but with admittedly more charisma on the track than in interviews – be so unpopular? Is it racism? I personally think it’s a combination of Ferrari devotion and anti-British feeling. Both regardless of, and in spite of this, Lewis Hamilton is the latest in a long line of British F1 drivers who race the way the sport should be raced (remember the boredom of the Schumacher era), like his hero the great Ayrton Senna. From Mike Hawthorn and Stirling Moss in the ‘50s to Graham Hill and Jim Clark in the ‘60s, James Hunt and Jackie Stewart in the ‘70s and Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill in the ‘80s and ‘90s, British drivers have raced with flair and panache, they went wheel to wheel with their opponents and made the sport interesting to watch. Hamilton is the latest in this canon. To quote Millwall: “No one likes us, we don’t care!” Although in this case, in F1, we are a credit to the sport.

Bare cheek Brighton, can you Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon’s thoroughly scurrilous Brighton column
Hove factually Five facts you didn't know about fantabulous Hove! 1 One of pop singer David Bowie’s lesser known incarnations, coming chronologically between Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, was Sergeant Lucius O’Dromgoole, a blind, cybernetic, bisexual sweet shop owner who lived on Pembroke Crescent. Bowie reputedly dropped the character after Andy Warhol advised him that it was a load of rubbish. 2 The quality of light on Blatchington Road has been praised by such diverse artists as JW Turner, Paul Gauguin, and Francis Bacon for its warmth, its sharpness, and the way it makes everyone look like Clive James. 3 Hove’s official superhero, the caped and masked Fantastic Man, has been patrolling its environs since 1982, keeping the streets safe for honest citizens, and doling out his own peculiar blend of sexual justice to wrongdoers. 4 Until it closed in the early ‘70s, Hove Zoo contained the only living Godzooky in captivity and a pair of Terminators who were mated, producing comedian Jimmy Cricket in 1949. 5 Hove banknotes carry the image of comedian Duggie Brown and are printed on polonium.

With cold weather setting in and fuel prices rising it may be time to nest, and where better than in bed with a close friend. Your erogenous zone is the head and face.
Cancers everywhere are breast lovers, one of the most sensitive parts of both women’s and men’s bodies. Treat with respect at all times but be aware of Taurean teeth.
For Libra it’s the buttocks. Not to everyone’s tastes I know, but there you have it. If you want to satisfy a Libran use your imagination, but one thing is for sure, it’s a bum job.
Capricorn loves nothing more than knees. Now take that how you will – maybe the like having them rubbed, or maybe they like being on them. Research will be vital here.

Taureans can keep the temperature high by kissing and biting, but remember, this is love and not dinner. Your erogenous zone is the neck but beware, the marks will show.
Despite all the aggressive stuff, Leos are kittens and like nothing more that having their backs rubbed. For some this will be enough and one will never have to penetrate the underbelly.
Scorpio is base, no gently stroking of the limbs here but straight down to business with a foray into the ‘lady garden’ or a peppering of the ‘meat and two veg’! Wash your hands after.
Airy-fairy Aquarians are calf lovers. The lower leg and ankles will do it every time. Try wrapping them around your neck and join in, why should they get all the fun.

Gemini is a sensitive soul so take it slow, you don’t want to fall into fits of giggles. Your erogenous zone is the arms from the elbows right up to armpits. Nice!
The way to a Virgo’s heart is through the stomach, but not by feeding them. Oh no, they like to have their tummy licked. Nice enough but be conscious of navel fluff issues.
Saggy old Sagis are easily satisfied with a gentle massage of the upper thigh. This can easily be affected in combination with the changing of an incontinence pad.
The Piscean erogenous zone is the feet. But its not to everyone’s taste. Why not substitute a sole of the Dover kind down at Bardsley’s to warm them up.

Weigh down Zara Baker looks at Laser Lipo as a way to lose inches before the Christmas excess
10% off with this ad
As the temperature drops, many of us instantly crave comfort food. Home-made stews, pies and crumbles fill the sunsized hole November left behind. Then there’s the inevitable food excess over Christmas. The shape we worked hard for over the summer months deteriorates. It’s a cycle many of us are familiar with. We know that what we ate to get slim is what’s needed to stay slim. In other words, a low-fat, high-fibre diet. If your body is need of some help with winter weight loss, here’s a new method taking off in the UK that will help you achieve a toned, svelte figure. Laser Lipo took off in the UK earlier this year, although there are select places where the treatment is available. It’s marketed as having the results of liposuction without the surgery; a big draw is that it is quick (40 minutes), pain-free and uses no anaesthetic. Sound too good to be true? Laser Lipo has a definite hype surrounding it in the media. One treatment gives instant results: depending on the client, 0.5 to three inches can be lost. This is achieved by laser paddles placed on the fatty areas. The Laser Lipo Body Contouring System (BCS) is switched on for 10-minute intervals, working different areas. The laser penetrates the skin, breaking down the fat cells. The treatment is non-invasive, using low levels of laser energy so the fat cell membranes are disrupted. The skin, nerves and blood vessels are left unaffected. Ideal for the tummy and thighs, Laser Lipo can also work on a double chin, arms and back. The results are inch loss, skin tightening and cellulite reduction. To see if Laser Lipo is suitable for you, visit www.laserlipo-bcs.com. Always consult with your GP before treatment.

11 – 17 November Super Dynamite Boogaloo
Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk Martha Wainwright Martha and Rufus have, despite their family connections, proven themselves very talented in their own right, sounding nothing like their esteemed mum and dad, and cementing the family’s musical reputation. Martha has worked her butt off to get to this point, slogging away on the circuit, slowly graduating to the likes of this wonderful church in Kemp Town – ironic considering the lustier content of some of her material. Live, her voice becomes an instrument all her own, turning good songs into great ones, and as a performer she is totally comfortable within herself, seemingly folding herself into a trance-like state. There are some serious fans out there, although one or two had to bring up Rufus. St George’s Church, 25 October ✌✌✌✌ Jeff Hemmings
Best of The Fest If the compere’s job is to ease us aboard, Adam Hills found us a first class seat. Between acts,
Hills set up blind dates and his quick wit stole the show. Captain Frodo, think Benny from Bjorn Again on speed, manoeuvred his body through tennis rackets. Shappi Khorsandi delivered her hilarious set from The Secret Policeman’s Ball, and Stewart Francis encouraged us to climb aboard his “Giggle Train”, and we did: “Standing in a park wondering why does a frisbee get bigger, the closer it gets? And then it hit me.” Genius. Hoards of satisfied punters disembarked happily at the other end. Corn Exchange, 24 October ✌✌✌✌✌ Andy Peck
Super Dynamite Boogaloo This felt like a night at The Bronze, Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s favourite club. The undead bopped to pop classics until Fake Bush warbled her way convincingly through a couple of Kate’s songs. Next, Dolly Rocket belted out Rocky Horror tunes, Boogaloo Stu then joined her, minus the quiff and looking scary. After their
HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Seu Jorge Jorge took to the stage with his 11-piece band and brought a genuine taste of Brazil to Brighton. He played songs from his latest album America Brasil along with solo acoustic renditions of Bowie's ‘Life on Mars’ and ‘Rebel Rebel’. His energetic band played a full range of Latin instruments and drums to complement his
strong vocals and the large Brazilian contingent present added to the atmosphere. Jorge conversed mainly in Portuguese, expressing passion and political emotion for the favelas in Sao Paulo. The evening ended in carnival style. Samba by the sea! Brighton Dome, 31 October ✌✌✌✌✌ David Clarke
shenanigans, prizes were given to the best dressed: a woman with three heads; a man with a severed appendage poking out of his trousers (it wasn’t an arm or a leg). Then more dancing. As I left I saw Snow White snogging the devil. A classic Halloween. Komedia, 31 October ✌✌✌✌ Rachel Pegg
Brendon Burns There are offensive comics; then there’s Brendon Burns. The Aussie stand-up’s reputation precedes him and, true to form, he begins by singling out his victim for the night: a man in the front row who Burns christens ‘Big Bird’. From there, the intensity, hilariously bad-taste humour and brilliantly unsubtle observation goes from strength to strength. A mix of real gut hatred, Liverpool-baiting, Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions and Bill Hicks-style vocal eccentricities, Burns destroys convention on every level, leaving a sold-out venue full of people paralysed by joyous, unstoppable laughter. Pavilion Theatre, 25 October ✌✌✌✌✌ Nick Aldwinckle
Terry Saunders Sitting on a Rug Mr Saunders likes to ramble, and the ramshackle feel sat together chiefly due to his comedic experience. The first act saw Terry telling a few tales and introducing two local comics – Seann Walsh and Robin Buckland, both new acts with crowd-pleasing sets and strong laughs. The second section saw James Sherwood, a satirical musical act familiar to Radio 1, 2 and 4 listeners who was at ease and on good form. Following this, the four comics sat in discussion on stage. A danger at the unscriptedness led this to be the most laughterpacked section, crescendoing in an improvised hoedown. Random acts of madness.

CHRISTMASSHOWS
Christmas is soon going to be with us, so now is the perfect time to pick your choice of seasonal show: will it be panto, musical, bawdy romp or ballet? The choice is yours… Christmas comes but once a year and whether you want traditional panto or modern musical, all have their place. And with so much to chose from each year it’s easy to find a festive entertainment to suit you. When it comes to panto, the best thing is that this is family or group entertainment, the kind of theatre that you go along to as a party and take with it some party spirit. That said, there is a distinct line that falls between audience participation and heckling and comedy club lovers should take note. Many people’s great love is – and always has been – a panto: proper dames, principal boys and transformation scenes; all topped off with an audience song. This year Brighton’s Theatre Royal are breaking tradition with The Wizard of Oz in a production that promises to have all the quality and magic of a top West End show. Directed and starring West End star Tim Flavin the prospects are excellent and even panto die-hards should go home with a smile on their face and a spring in their step. If, however, a traditional panto is essential fare in your Christmas line-up then Jack and The Beanstalk at The Old Market in Hove should tick your box. This is a first for this charming venue, and it should see traditionalists queuing around the block.
Brighton’s Dome complex always puts on a feast of wonderful festive entertainment and this year is no exception. Starting with The Night Before Christmas at the Pavilion Theatre followed by a season of Christmas concerts, a ceilidh and culminating in two classic ballets, The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. At the Hawth in Crawley there will be nothing wishy washy about their production of Aladdin. A long succession of great pantomimes at this mid-Sussex venue draws audiences from far and wide each year. In Worthing there are two to choose from: Snow White and Jack and the Beanstalk, both traditional and both from venues with a strong reputation for excellent panto. For adults, and that’s a pretty strict definition Brian Ralfe has built a great following for his bawdy alternative Christmas pantomimes and this years promises to be as rude and ribald as ever. Now in its seventh year smutty fun is guaranteed from Sinderfella, not for the faint-hearted but probably one of the best nights out this season. Booking is almost essential for all these shows, but look out for party discounts and offers to make the most of your holiday theatre fun.
The boy with the lamp Aladdin, the most mystical pantomime of all, flies in on a magic carpet to The Hawth this Christmas, starring CBBC’s Ciaran Joyce in the title role and Crawley’s own Jon Clegg as the hilarious Wishee Washee. As well as everything you would expect from a pantomime; sparkling sets and costumes, amazing song and dance routines, romance, comedy and audience participation, this year Aladdin also features an array of outstanding 3D effects, including a 3D Genie, the cave of riches and an amazing 3D carpet ride! Be transported to the Far East on a magical adventure this Christmas from Friday 12 December – Sunday 4 January. Book now call 01293 553636 or online www.hawth.co.uk.
Magical dance This year Brighton Dome welcomes the Kiev Classical Ballet and Orchestra for their Brighton debut, with a double bill of two children’s favourites: Peter and the Wolf and The Carnival of the Animals. The much loved fairytale Peter and the Wolf tells the story of a brave young boy who encounters a dangerous wolf in the forest. Prokofiev’s timeless fable is a true masterpiece of music for children, each character brought vividly to life with its own instrumental theme. In the hands of the Kiev Classical Ballet and Orchestra, Saint Saëns’ The Carnival of the Animals becomes an exotic birthday parade of colourful creatures, accompanied by classical favourites. “What a magical menagerie to delight the eyes and ears of any child“ The Stage Sat 13–Tue 16 Dec, Sat 13 Dec 7.30pm, Sun 14 Dec 2pm & 5.30pm, Mon 15 Dec 7.30pm. Tue 16 Dec, schools matinee 1.30pm, schools tickets £6.50. Concert Hall, Brighton Dome. Tickets £10, £15, £20, £22, £24. Children half price on top two tickets.

Tour de force Glyndebourne take to the road each autumn with a sensational season of operas, Andrew Kay reviews the 2008 tour Anyone who trots out the old line that Glyndebourne is an elitist establishment for the few simply hasn’t bothered to take a proper look. There is no doubt that during the season Glyndebourne certainly retains its up-market appeal, but they are far from complacent about that image and each year introduce new initiatives to breach the gaps, make it more accessible and more affordable. The Touring Company certainly goes a long way to doing that and each year it grows in both popularity and reputation. Drawing a selection of productions from the season, they take to the road with a company that comprises many of the season’s performers, but also giving opportunity for younger and newer talent to take leading roles. If you want to see the opera stars of the future then there is no better place than the Glyndebourne tour. This year I caught three stunning productions. Firstly, Mozart’s The Magic Flute, not strictly speaking an opera, more a play with songs. It is often produced with a strong directorial bent to reveal a hidden mysticism and symbolism seen by many in the work. This production, however, seemed hell bent on giving us the music. And although there were perhaps few moments when you sensed you were experiencing operatic greatness – in a vocal sense, you did feel that you were getting a great ensemble production, one where attention had been given to directing the performers to tell us the story with clarity. Settings were beautifully simplistic and costumes too, although there was not enough definition for The Queen of the Night visually. She did however give us a terrific rendition with only one rather screeched top note.

Carmen, directed by David McVicar, could not have been more luscious and rich. Nor could it have been more traditional. Sets and costumes that brought Sir William Russell Flint to mind reassured us that both time and place were not being messed with. Carmen has great opportunity for a chorus to shine as much as the soloists and shine they did. Katherine Rohrer as Carmen herself sang well and was feisty, but perhaps not sexy or seductive enough. Strangely, she was eclipsed by the simple beauty of Natasha Jouhl as Micaëla, whose voice and performance were stunning. Yonghoon Lee as Don José was equally moving for the same reasons with a measured performance that emphasised the innocence of a simple soldier. Hansel and Gretel was infused with all the magic I had hoped for. Luscious music, of course, but this time with that extra excitement that we all hope for with a Glyndebourne production. And the tricks worked, the time placement and the setting, all made sense – especially the chorus of obese children at the end that had me searching for Jamie Oliver to rescue them. Turning the ginger bread house into a gleaming hypermarket of junk food was inspired and the cast made full use of the device to great dramatic effect. Elizabeth DeShong and Bernarda Bobro brought a disarming childishness to their performance; the witch, a disturbing element of paedophilia, but neither was heavy-handed and all of the humour was allowed to shine through the darkness. Grim as Grimm needs to be but with delicious moments of fairytale magic as well. Truly a five-star performance. For details of future events at Glyndebourne go to www.glyndebourne.com

Easy Virtue (PG)
Dir: Stephan Elliot With Jessica Biel in the lead this previously stuffy Noel Coward play is transformed into a breezy if not predictable film. Biel plays a glamorous American who marries a prim British gent. When he brings her home to meet the parents – played expertly by Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas – their antiquated British ways are threatened. Aussie director Elliot might be better known for The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert but this is a deceptively fun affair. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld

Pennsylvania Avenue. With a cast that includes Richard Dreyfuss as Dick Cheney, Thandie Newton as Condoleeza Rice and Ioan Gruffudd as Tony Blair, this is an all-star piece.

Dir: Jed Weintrob This frankly offensive horror is a belated Halloween offering down at Cineworld. Screened in not-soglorious 3D this cheap and gory film follows a woman as she returns to her hometown only to be confronted by the serial killer she thought she’d defeated years ago. While the plot may sound as dour as a flaccid cabbage it would be unfair to expect
Director: Agnes Jaoui Following from the success of The Taste of Others and Look at Me, director Agnès Jaoui joins forces with co-writer and fellow actor JeanPierre Bacri. In this Gallic effort their jovial mix of personal relationships and social concerns is expertly handled with a stubborn but funny charm. The film follows a political newbie as she returns home and is forced to confront the morality of her personal ambitions: fun but thoughtful. Showing at Duke of York’s
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (PG) Director: Peter Jackson Clocking in at a hefty 546 minutes this all night screening of J. R. R. Tolkien’s trilogy should satisfy many an ogre, orc and hairy-footed hobbit. The three films follow Frodo Baggins as he embarks on a dangerous quest to save middle earth from the evil clutches of Dark Lord Sauron and his super ugly minions. The night kicks off at 10pm on Saturday and comes to an end with a free breakfast in the early hours of Sunday morning. Fancy dress is most probably essential. Showing at Duke of York’s Craig Driver

FILM
Firth and foremost Latest 7 talks to Colin Firth about his role in the new big screen adaptation of Noel Coward’s Easy Virtue Were you aware of the Noel Coward play before doing this movie? No. Funnily enough I’ve done a film adaptation of a Noel Coward play before, and it was quite a similar premise. Easy Virtue was a wonderful script, it’s gorgeous material and it’s very easy to be over reverential of it – they can be museum pieces if you’re not careful. Although, I did the film because I wanted to do a Stephan Elliot movie more than a Noel Coward play And I think that’s what we have. It’s as much Stephan’s sensibility as Coward’s.
20s. I found it desperately dull being 25 as an actor. A friend of mine, an older actor, said to me when I was that age, You know the hardest role in Shakespeare is not Hamlet or Lear, it’s Ferdinand in The Tempest, the earnest lover with no sense of humour. The older you get the more they let you be jaded, or witty, maybe you’re bad, maybe you’re disappointed, layers of experience. There’s more to be had, so yeah, bring them on!
The film does display a lot of humour around a very serious theme. Well, I think Coward specialises in that. I think within all the politeness and wryness and wit and trivia and flippancy of Coward is immense passion. He wrote Brief Encounter. Arguably it’s up there with Casablanca as one of the great passionate love stories of cinema.
Can you empathise with the father? Yes, I think anybody could. Family is complicated. From childhood to having your own. There are times you want to hide from them and run from them and in some ways, although there’s something entertaining about Whittaker standing back and making wry comments, there’s something noble about his defending Larita from the mob, the family.
The dry, sarcastic wit the character displays, is there a bit of yourself in that? Yeah, could be. You know there’s always a bit of yourself. I mean I love all that. Has your process for selecting projects changed? No, because I never had a process. You have gone from playing lover roles to playing the father roles, like in Mamma Mia, what do you think about that? That’s life. That’s where I am. One of the few pleasures of the aging process, is the roles actually get more complex. I look at Ben [Barnes] and I’m reminded of certain aspects of myself at the time: you have to really look for roles that have any texture when you’re in your
Did you have fun in Greece, filming Mamma Mia? Oh, the time of our lives. That wasn’t hard. It was really obscene to be paid to have that much fun, it was wonderful. Do you still get nervous as an actor? Yes. Nerves are the enemy all the way through your working life. What do you do to relax yourself, before a camera? I just don’t give a s**t. I used to. I think that comes with experience. I mean, maybe it’ll come back and I’ll be terrible tomorrow, I don’t know. But it’s just there and it’s a piece of junk.
Also showing… A quick look at what’s on this week A Matter of Life and Death (U) Dir: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger Powell and Pressburger’s classic fantasy romance is more than welcome back on the big screen. The brilliant David Niven plays a WW2 fighter pilot who finds love with Kim Hunter’s radio operator who hears, apparently, his last words as his plane crashes. After a clerical mix-up in heaven, Niven states his case for literally a new lease of life. Showing at Worthing Burn After Reading (15) Dir: Joel and Ethan Coen The Coen brothers go back to basics with this acclaimed caper about an incompetent pair of colleagues trying to blackmail an ex CIA agent. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Coen fave Frances McDormand head a fine ensemble cast. Showing at Odeon Five Children and It (U) Dir: John Stephenson E. Nesbit’s classic children’s tale makes a similarly charming, if slight, lil-uns’ film adaptation. Freddie Highmore plays a young
boy who moves to the countryside with his siblings only to discover a curious, goblin-like creature, the Psammead, who grants them one wish a day. Eddie Izzard voices the grumpy, lovable sand fairy as only he could. Showing at Duke of York’s Ghost Town (12A) Dir: David Koepp Ricky Gervais’s first big screen leading role has had mixed reviews and with the curious mix of talent onboard, it’s understandable why. Gervais plays a sociopathic dentist, going by the odd moniker Bertram Pincus. When Pincus has a near-death experience, he finds he can see and hear dead people. Greg Kinnear is amongst the ghoulies badgering Gervais to help right the wrongs they’ve suffered. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon High School Musical 3: Senior Year (U) Dir: Kenny Ortega Disney’s musical hit gets its second sequel. Expect more of the same squeaky clean teens, old-fashioned song and dance routines and a million tweenie girls swooning over Zac Efron. Showing at Odeon, Cineworld and Worthing
Horton Hears A Who! (U) Dir: Jimmy Heyward and Steve Martino Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell reunite after Bruce Almighty in this latest Dr Seuss animated adaptation. Carrey stars as elephant Horton, who discovers the tiny town of Whoville. Together with the town’s mayor (Carrell), the pair struggle to save its residents from Horton’s hostile neighbours. Showing at Worthing Hunger (15) Dir: Steve McQueen A very different cinematic prospect to his namesake, Turner Prize-winning artist turned director McQueen tells the tale of IRA members on hunger strike in Ireland’s notorious Maze prison. Michael Fassbender has been highly acclaimed as political prisoner Bobby Sands, starving himself to force the British government to recognise the IRA’s political legitimacy. Showing at Duke of York Quantum of Solace (12A) Dir: Marc Forster The wait is over as Daniel Craig’s Bond returns. Following the critical success of last outing Casino Royale, Crash writer Paul Haggis and The Kite Runner’s director, Marc Forster, pull out all the stops. Bond is on a quest for revenge after the death of his love, Vesper Lynd. The trail leads him to sinister
environmentalist Dominic Greene (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’s Mathieu Amalric), who is trying to control a country’s water supply. Judi Dench pops up as M and new Bond girls Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko simmer. Showing at Odeon, Cineworld and Worthing Of Time and the City (12A) Dir: Terence Davies A big success at Cannes, this documentary love letter to Davies’ hometown of Liverpool is a majestic combination of modern and archive footage and charismatic narration from the director himself. Showing at Duke of York’s Saw V (18) Dir: David Hackl Perhaps mercifully, this fifth installment is apparently the last in this popular Halloween cinema staple. With Jigsaw and pretty much everyone else dead, only forensics expert Hoffman is left alive to carry on the grim deathtrap legacy. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

A laughing matter Victoria Nangle has a look at a way to brighten up the skintest Christmas
I know, we’re all feeling broke after the glut of giggling that was the Magners Paramount Comedy Festival followed by the Brighton Comedy Fringe and really don’t want to have to think about Christmas yet. It’s cold, it’s wet, and we are most definitely past the point of an Indian summer. And yet off the back of this state of affairs, plus that big pocket-drainer that is Christmas heading towards us at full pelt, I have a suggestion. It’s time to go Christmas shopping. Think about it. It makes sense to spread the cost and be organised, plus – and here’s the sneaky bit – there are loads of cool comedy DVDs just being released now that’ll suit all the multitudes of tastes of the family, and that you can watch first to help float you through this traditionally depressing time of year. First off – the oldies but the goodies. For Dad, back from the 80s, is Dangervision – The Dangerous Brothers. This is Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson before Bottom and after The Young Ones, before crude middle age and after idealistic youth. Just where a whole load of presentwanting people think they are now. Plus it includes the sketch ‘Kinky Sex’ that was originally banned by LWT. Got to love a bit of anarchic controversy. For the more contemporary anarchist, American comedian Sarah Silverman, who describes her comic persona as “A combination of arrogant and ignorant”, has just released the DVD that made her name in the states three years ago – Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic. Not for the easily shocked as she has been mentioned in the same sentence as Lenny Bruce by more than one critic.
“His star continues to rise faster than that scary contraption that leans out over the end of the pier” For those who are still smarting from having missed out due to the sold out status of favourites at the festivals, Tim Minchin’s So F**king Rock Live came out this week, combining two of his previous sell-out shows of comedy and music. They’re ready to fly off the shelves as his star continues to rise faster than that scary contraption that leans out over the end of the pier. Next week sees the release of another sold-out show comic, Michael McIntyre, whose gentle but happy comic observations just plant a smile in your belly and let it grow. Add to these the crowd pleaser that is Tim Vine, slinging his puns every which way in So I Said To This Bloke, and you’ve pretty much got the whole family covered, and the winter blues kept at bay pretty much up to Christmas Eve. Ho, ho, ho. I don’t care how far away it is really.

Looking for love? John Davies explores a world where a young woman’s search for a husband becomes a spiritual quest When people talk of Brighton and Hove being a multicultural city, I always have a chuckle. I’m from Birmingham, Britain’s largest local authority and one of the most culturally diverse cities in Europe. It’s affectionately known as the Holy City. The reason for that goes back to the time of the Cadbury’s when Brum was a city ruled by the hand of Temperance. But Brum is holy in other ways too. Even in the seventies, there were around forty different types of belief with established places of worship plus many more sects and cults. That number has no doubt increased dramatically, but now one faith makes Birmingham’s monica ring truer than ever. It’s forecast that by 2015 the majority of the population will be Muslim. By 1980 I was ‘last man standing’ in Birmingham amongst my peers and my family. My mother’s family had been silversmiths in the city at least since the 1600s yet not one relation nor one school friend remained there. Voluntarily, they (as I was soon to do) joined that little discussed phenomenon known as ‘white flight’. It’s still going on quietly and inevitably – to Cornwall, Scotland, the Hebrides, Ireland and Australasia. It’s all part of a swirling pattern of worldwide migration that seems to leave many people, of many different creeds and backgrounds, feeling somehow homeless, with no sense of belonging. The reason for mentioning all this is that I have just read a despatch from the front line of cultural tectonics. Nasreen Akhtar has written the kind of book I would never normally read, a personal memoir of a young woman seeking a husband – Catch a Fish from the Sea (Using the Internet). I’m halfway through reading it but I’m hooked. For the casual reader it’s a romantic journey. But it’s also a fascinating insight into the mind of a young person who sees themselves as both British, Islamic and South Asian. This multiple-layered ethnicity is both a blessing and a burden. Catch a Fish... is about trying to find a cultural as well as a marriage partner. After a slow start it gathers narrative pace as Nasreen gets involved with an ardent admirer who forces her to re-examine her attitude to Islam. The book becomes a journal of a spiritual quest. Some of us may feel it’s misguided, but there is no denying Nasreen’s honesty and passion. ‘I was scared lonely and lost. Walking in the dark, not knowing where I was going, feeling that I had not belonged anywhere. However, for the first time in my life, I felt at ease. Amongst this room of total strangers I mattered, and there was a place for me. I realised that all the colours of mankind from Africa to Indonesia to Canada to Pakistan to Brazil and Albania, we were all connected by one thing: our belief… This Islam thing wasn’t bad. It was supposed to be bad but then why was it making me feel good?’ I look forward to reading the remaining chapters and telling you more. One thought occurs to me though. Beyond belief, perhaps we’re all connected by displacement?

Finally breaking off the shackles of the finger-inthe-ear, Arran-sweater wearing, murder balladry purism of traditional folk that saw its stock fall as dramatically as the world’s share exchanges, folk music has been enjoying a renaissance, equal to its post-war heyday of the ‘60s, when folkies such as Bert Jansch and The Incredible String Band rubbed shoulders with the big stars of the day. Seth Lakeman is one of those leading the charge, culminating in his recent top ten album Poor Man’s Heaven. “It’s a coastal concept album,” says Seth. “Poor Man’s Heaven is a working class rant aimed at the rich, and there’s songs about greedy pirates and heartbroken sailors and a true story about the Penlee lifeboat disater of 1981 (‘Solomon Burke’) which has just been released as a single.” Despite rugged good looks, an energetic stage show, a strong folk background and a relentless touring schedule, all artists need a bit of a break and for Lakeman it came in the form of being Mercury Music Prize nominated for his low budget, self-released, Kitty Jay album back in ‘05, an album full of traditional songs about Dartmoor, where he lives. “Yes, that really made a difference. Suddenly I was getting a,lot of recognition and it all helped,” says Seth. “I grew up with folk; my parents ran a folk club in Plymouth and from the age of seven I would hang out there and meet people such as Martin Carthy and Tom McConville, who left a bit of their expertise with me.” Having learnt the violin and guitar he started recording and playing gigs in earnest, firstly with his brothers Sam
and Sean (Sam is a guitarist in his band) and then all three were invited to play with Kate Rusby and Kathryn Roberts, becoming the band Equation which signed with Time Warner and released three albums. Seth stayed with the band for six years before embarking on a solo career, and in seven short years he has become folk star, but one whose appeal is broadening out with each tour and each festival appearance. How would he describe his style? “I play the fiddle, stamp my foot and sing loudly over a driving violin,” he says. “We also have a double-bass, drums, and a few bits of weird and wonderful percussion – it’s all acoustic, but quite in your face.” And that’s what Seth likes most about it all, combining the traditons of folk with the driving groove and beat of modern dance. It’s folk music, Jim, but not as we know it. Corn Exchange, Tuesday 18 November

Jaime Pettit heads out to make her ears bleed with the best at Trash Mondays at Brighton Coalition There should be a label on the door as I arrived completely unarmed. I’d almost forgotten the insatiable stench of stale sweat and beer unmarred by smoke since the ban. I hit the wall and remembered the heightened sense of a sober nose! Realising that deodorant couldn’t save anyone from imitating the odour of a rotten vodka carcass, I vowed never to club again without steeling myself first with a cheeky sambucca. It was like a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party inside as girls and boys adorned in bow ties, stockings, cowboy hats and maid attire started ‘going insane’ to ‘Disturbia’ performing new moves such as the jazzy teapot and Teletubby on acid. Even the lost lambs of Carnage had detoured from the cattle route to the allure of a club where the girls were just that pretty. As one ‘womaniser’ told the girls they were ‘fit’, they simply replied ‘yes we are’ and carried on dancing. I felt like a dog in a car boot as I fought to remain standing amongst sweeping mops and ground-breaking volume. With trashy chart hits at such a volume, you’ll go home, look your iPod right in the eyes and say: “I’ve found someone else“. The pitiful speakers of an iPod and its dock are faint sounds of the past. P!nk’s ‘So What’ is only given true spirit when your ears bleed as you punch the air in a flat-out bouncing fit! Thus we did. With free entry creating a gateway clear of queues and smart price alcohol on express tap, Coalition wishes you student-types a very happy unbirthday – every week.
Belleruche Kora Talk about multi-cultural. This New Zealand band fuses reggae and dub with straightforward rock and even moments of industrial metal. Oddly addictive stuff. Tuesday 11 November, Komedia NA Solange Beyonce’s little sister finally steps of the international superstar’s shadow as Solange releases her second solo record, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams. It’d be easy to assume nepotism, but her decent, old-fashioned Motown soul sound sets her apart from her R’n’B peers. Tuesday 11 November, Komedia NA Mercury Rev Personally, I don’t think they’ve done a great deal since their one great album Deserter’s Songs back in ‘98. And I really cannot handle Jonathan Donahue’s whiny vocal for more than a couple of songs. But, hey! Their slightly sleazy/art rock’n’roll look has won them plenty of admirers.

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases It’s odd to see these old hairy rock bands from the 70s and 80s reform, and try and strut their stuff as if they are in their 20s. Weird, huh? One of the all-time greats, AC/DC refuse to grow up; they sound exactly the same, still trade in schoolboy puerility, and look like men who your dad warned you about. In Angus Young, their lead guitarist and prime mover, they possess one of the icons of modern rock ’n’ roll, still dressing up in schoolboy attire, albeit in nice and expensive velvet threads. Black Ice, their new album, could have been made in 1980, but as we all know, 2008 is the new 1980. Unlikely success story Ben Folds continues his upward trajectory with Way To Normal, once again displaying his hyper-active piano playing style, that combined with an acute ear for melody, and a strong penchant for 70s soft rock has won him an unlikely degree of fame and fortune. However, he’s gone too far here, veering dangerously close to the putrefied wasteland of MOR, and his look-at-me, aren’t I mad cuteness is really starting to grate. Ben, you’ve become a real disappointment to us, and a sad parody of your former self. Sort it out! Wakefield Trio The Research sounds convincingly American on their second album, The Old Terminal, full of gloriously dreamy, 60s influenced songs, that emit wafts of upbeat optimism despite the sometimes plaintiveness of lead singer Russell Searle. Hull indie punks The Paddingtons continue to make and release melodic, vibrant and fizzing pop punk gems, with new album No Mundane Options, full of the stuff. There’s a little of The Pixies and The Libertines strewn about, but their all-round eclecticism marks them out as one to watch. Two years have passed since Atlanta four-piece Deerhunter’s debut album alerted the world to a bold new talent. The waiting’s over as second record Microcastle is released. A striking mix of laid-back dEus-style avant-poprock cool and more spacey Sonic Youth arty ethereality, Microcastle comes complete with a special bonus disc full of brand new (often brilliant) songs, Weird Era Continued. Creative enough to set them apart from their peers though accessible enough to warrant repeated listens. With Pitchshifter on indefinite hiatus and The Prodigy stuck in the recording studio, there’s a definite lack of harder-edged dance/metal crossover acts at the moment. It’s timely, then, that Prodigy collaborator DJ Hyper’s new band, just Hyper, release their extremely dirty-sounding debut album, Suicide Tuesday, blending industrial guitars and bass-heavy beats with appearances from The Prodigy’s Leeroy Thornhill and Pitchshifter’s Jim Davies. Brighton boy-girl acoustic partnership Bitter Ruin have built up a strong local following. With their debut album, We’re Not Dancing, out now, they confirm their status as one of Brighton’s very best bands. Blending idiosyncratic, melancholy vocals with Dresden Dolls-style dark cabaret theatricality, they may not be dancing, but they sound amazing.

Will Harris gets invited to a family wedding and feels the love…
Night of stars Stonewall came together for a wonderful night of celebration and acknowledgement An MP who called homosexuality “an abomination“ has been declared Stonewall's bigot of the year. Iris Robinson, MP for Strangford, Northern Ireland, earlier this year said in a Westminster debate: “There can be no viler act, apart from homosexuality, than sexually abusing innocent children.“ Hero of the year at the Stonewall Awards, sponsored by Barclays, was Rt Rev Gene Robinson, who became the first openly gay bishop when he was ordained in 2003. He was recently barred from Lambeth conference. Accepting his award from compere Richard Wilson, Rt Rev Bishop Gene Robinson Robinson said he was proud to and the Revd Martin Dudley receive a title voted by his peers.He said: “God's name has been used and abused in the name of hatred and bigotry and prejudice for too long. It is time we took the scripture back.“ He added: “Dr King said, the arc of history is long and slow but it inevitably bends towards justice.“ BLAGSS, Brighton Lesbian and Gay Sports Society, was nominated for sports award of the year, although the prize went to Stonewall Lions FC. Publication of the year was Time Out; journalist of the year was Dr Miriam Stoppard from The Daily Mirror; broadcaster of the year was Sandi Toksvig and entertainer of the year was Sue Perkins. Stella Duffy won writer of the year and used her acceptance speech to call for Stonewall to open dialogue with people campaigning for the charity to extend its services to transgender people. A protest had been held outside the awards at London’s V & A. Lord Waheed Alli, the first out peer, won politician of the year. The winner of the Stonewall and Barclays community group of the year was the UK Lesbian and Gay Immigration Group, which was awarded a £5,000 cheque. The hero, bigot and community group were chosen by 7,000 Stonewall supporters. Other winners were chosen by a panel including Diane Abbott MP and Coronation Street star Antony Cotton. Ben Summerskill, chief executive of Stonewall, said: ‘It’s hugely humbling to honour those – both gay and straight - who have inspired or encouraged Britain’s 3.6 million gay people. Every year, the Stonewall Awards highlight just how much we have to celebrate in an increasingly gay-friendly modern Britain.” In his opening speech he said Barack Obama’s election would result in: “hundreds of millions of young people around the world believing they could achieve their dreams regardless of having been born different.“ 36 latest 7
Of the whole of the English language, what would you imagine to be the one two-word phrase pretty much guaranteed to instil in me an instantaneous feeling of dread? Cup final? Britney dead? Each a strong contender in its own right, I’ll grant you, but the pairing I’m thinking of is actually far, far worse: family reunion. Since my beloved nan passed away last Christmas Eve (in what I can only presume was a preemptive strike against my Aunt Liz’s annual Boxing Day buffet), I’d been granted a welcome break from the family parties that usually pepper my year like bear traps. So when my Aunt Jan recently called to remind me that her 60th was fast approaching and I should expect a list of menu options in
it, a tedious pack of people, who haven’t the remotest knowledge of how to live, nor the smallest instinct about when to die. While that may seem a trifle harsh, I wonder how many of us would choose to spend our free time in the company of this motley group of people over which we wield no quality control. For example, when my Aunt Jan’s 60th came around, I was unsurprised to find myself once again relegated to a table reserved exclusively for those who had brought shame upon the family name. There was Uncle Pete (alcoholic), cousin Emma (single mother), cousin Richard (borderline goth), and, last but not least, my cousin Russell (on dayrelease from his institution, sat ramrod-straight like Hannibal Lecter on his gurney and
“My cousin Russell (on day release from his institution), sat ramrod-straight like Hannibal Lecter on his gurney “ the post, my heart sank in anticipation. “All you have to do, William,” she explained (all my relatives insist on calling me William, despite years of my campaigning otherwise), “is put a tick next to what you want for each course and post it back to me in the stamped addressed envelope provided.” “Can I not just go through the menu options with you now?” I suggested gently. “I’m afraid not, William,” came the reply, and then – with the stone-cold logic that only ever occurs to aunties, grandmothers, and those sections of society only allowed to use plastic cutlery added: “I’ve already written the envelope.” Family. Or, as Oscar Wilde put
disconcertingly eyeballing the tealights). If anything, I thought my homosexuality looked mildly innocuous in comparison. You have to love your relatives though, don’t you? And, for all their faults, mine have never faltered in their support for me, despite all our obvious differences. That’s not to say my Uncle Mick will be found sewing names onto an AIDS quilt any time soon, but the fact of the matter is, even though they may disagree with my lifestyle, they still keep inviting me to all the weddings, and birthdays, and assorted occasions that mark me out as their bloodkin. And while some might consider that a cruel and unusual punishment in itself, me, I call it family.

She says it how she sees it
Miss Naked Beauty Tuesday nights, Channel 4 I have already had an argument about this programme with one friend; I hate it and she loves it. I think Gok Wan should stop touching people. I think Myleene Class should shut up. I think the concept of the show is excellent. Usually, if anyone tries to push the boundaries and ideals set by society then they get a high five from me. But I just don’t like the way anything with Gok in tries to do this. He is constantly ranting on about how the magazines promote every woman to feel bad about themselves (nice generalisation). So his way of solving the problem is to singlehandedly make every woman feel great about themselves. Why not head straight to the magazines Gok, eh, rather than touch random body parts of complete strangers? And how is it that you have absolutely no facial hair? Myleene has more stubble than you! I’m sorry, I know it’s a bad thing to hate someone you don’t even know. But it just irritates me that he seems to think he can solve every woman’s problems by putting them in a pair of ‘suck it all in’ pants and taking a few racy pictures of them. In the first episode he made all the woman who wanted to be entered walk down a pier in their bikinis and then, in groups of four, stand on stage in front of the panel of judges and discuss why they are great (while still wearing only their bikinis). Now, if this wonderful woman Gok is looking for is meant to be more than a great body and should feel fantastic in everything, surely the real test would have been to put them all in potato sacks? “And what should we do when we have found our semi-finalists?” asks Gok. “Why not put them all in an empty swimming pool and hose them down?” replies Myleene. What was the point in that? And all for what? To see what they look like without make-up? Because all I could see were wet knickers and panda eyes! Joy! I personally wouldn’t want a walking Specsavers advert pointing out all the bits of my body I should be applying fake tan to, and spending £30 on bottles of foundation all in the aid of making it look as if you are not wearing any make-up at all. I bet this will be a big hit. Just like his other shows in which he encourages women to take their clothes off in public. It is refreshing to see a woman accept that they are great, but no amount of ‘natural’ looking make-up is going to make any lasting impression on someone’s selfesteem. I’d like to put Gok in a empty bath and hose him down – you can see the two-inch layer of foundation on his face a mile off, the hypocrite!

Movies on the box this week
TUESDAY 11 The Legend II ★★★★✩ (1993, BBC1, 11.55pm. Dir Doug Liman) Martial arts maestro Jet Li stars as the Cantonese hero Fong Sai Yuk whobecomes involved in a secret brotherhood, which strives to overthrow the Manchurian emperor. He struggles to conform to the organisation’s rigid regime while attempting to sort out his complicated love life, in which two women fight for his affection.
WEDNESDAY 12 Howards End ★★★★✩ (1992, Film4, 6.15pm. Dir James Ivory) Lavish story of class conflict in Edwardian England. This, the third masterful E.M.Forster adaptation from the Merchant Ivory gang, clocked up three well-deserved Oscars among many awards. A splendid cast of British thesps head up this classy comment on the transformation of British society at the turn of a century.
THURSDAY 13 A Taste of Honey ★★★✩✩ (1962, TCM, 10pm. (Dir Tony Richardson) A key example of one of the films that came to known as part of the Angry Young Men genre. Time may have blunted the impact of its taboo-busting issues, but 46 years on, it’s no less flavourful for powerful performances, most notably Rita Tushingham in her breakout role as Jo, through whose wide, expressive eyes we see a grim world of mean expectations.
FRIDAY 14 Four Weddings And A Funeral
★★★✩✩ (1994, Channel 4, 9pm. (Dir Mike Newell) Floppy fringe extraordinaire Hugh Grant flips and flops that fringe every which way as the commitment-shy fop who meets and stutters at American beauty Andie MacDowell. An excellent ensemble cast that includes Charlotte Coleman, Simon Callow and John Hannah lift it to above average.
Election ★★★★✩ (1999, Sky Movies Indie, 6.15pm. Dir Alexander Payne) After all of last week’s real life drama there’s room for a little American satire as Reese Witherspoon stars as the knuckle-crunchingly perky high school candidate driving idealistic teacher Matthew Broderick to distraction.

A Taste of Honey Tuesday, 10pm, TCM
SATURDAY 15 The Omen★★★✩✩ (2006, Channel 4, 10.45pm. Dir John Moore) Faithful remake of the 1976 original that chucks in a few updated special effects to make the journey worth the trip. So we have the American couple in Rome, having a baby that dies, husband switches the baby for one dumped by an unwed mother, doesn’t tell his wife and they bring up Damien as their own. Then the fun really starts. The devil is in the detail…
Mulholland Drive ★★★★★ (2001, Sky Movies Indie, 8pm. Dir David Lynch) After a car wreck on the winding Mulholland Drive renders a woman amnesic, she and a perky Hollywoodhopeful search for clues and answers across Los Angeles in a twisting venture beyond dreams and reality. Lynch on top form, watch out for the blue box at the end – what’s that all about? You’ll be beautifully puzzled.
SUNDAY 16 Erin Brockovich ★★★★✩ (2000, Five, 9pm. Dir Steven Soderbergh) Fact-based drama about an unsophisticated single mother who stumbles upon an environmental cover-up. She discovers that a chemical company knowingly polluted the local area, and with the help of the lawyer launches a class action to sue the company for damages.
