t might be a credit crunch year but Brighton Festival and Brighton Festival Fringe have brought a massive boost to the city with tens of thousands of visitors and priceless promotion around the world. Within Brighton and Hove, we have been enjoying hundreds of indoor and outdoor shows, from free family days like the Children’s Parade to groundbreaking world class theatre such as the Orpington Camp on the pier. The Latest Awards on bank holiday Monday 25 May are our way of celebrating all the people who made the festivals happen, from staff to volunteers, performers and audiences. Turn to news (p12) to find out how to vote, how to get your ticket and what shows have been nominated. The full shortlist so far can be seen at www.thelatest.co.uk/7 The festivals aren’t over yet – see page 15 for what’s on in the final week at the Festival and p17 for the Fringe. Even after all the closing parties, there’s much more to come in Brighton. Gardens Week 2009 begins at the Royal Pavilion on Monday (p10) and Moshi Moshi will host its first ever Japanese Street Festival at the end of May (p11). We are approaching summer and holiday plans are on your mind, we have a new monthly travel section starting this week. See page 19 to hear how John Proctor Travel can help you make the most of your money. For a bit more escapism, see film (p24) for an interview with Michelle Pfeiffer about her new film Chéri, set in the Parisian Belle Epoque and showing at the Duke of York’s. The world is still reeling from the news that Katie Price and Peter Andre have split. Read Jo Brooks’ take on the break up in Celebcity (p9). In books, John O’Donoghue pays tribute to Carol Ann Duffy, our new Poet Laureate, while in music, Jeff Hemmings talks to Dub Pistols founder Barry Ashworth (p28) and looks forward to the sold out Antony and the Johnsons gig in Brighton.

CITY SPEAK 05
Seann amously, one of life’s great pleasures is to sit and watch the world go by. This is why we have cafés. Café culture has gone global now. Every nation to embrace globalisation has embraced lattes, cappuccinos and mochas. In Beijing‘s Forbidden City, an ancient, private Emperor’s sub-city now open to the public, there is a Starbuck’s. In the world, there is one Starbuck’s per fly, serving vats of foam-topped gunge that tastes of a certain substance that flies are famous for congregating around. These McDonald’s-style coffee factories are masters of image. Starbuck’s affects the laid-back, Central-Perk-from-Friends vibe, with sofas, newspapers and and well-trained service smiles. Costa Coffee puts on a cod Italian accent, adorning its walls with pictures of Milanese men and filling shelves with decorative jars of linguine. Caffè Nero does the same, without even having the excuse of Italian origins. What’s most galling about these places is how assertively they believe their own image. Their coffee is a waste of the enormous paper cups they put it in. It tastes of almost nothing; to distract from the

Will ’ve now been working in offices for so long, there are few rituals of white-collar life I haven’t mastered. I know exactly how my co-workers take their tea, not just in my current job, but in every job I’ve ever had. I can make idle chit chat about the previous night’s episode of The Apprentice for well over an hour. I have an uncanny knack for disappearing the moment the printer jams, only returning after someone else has fixed it. But, for all these achievements, there’s still one aspect of the 9 to 5 experience I think I will always find a struggle: calling in sick. As I write this, my office thinks I am lying at death’s door. I’ve told them I have a headache, a sore throat, a hacking cough, seismic rumblings at every orifice, and a nose that is managing to defy the laws of physics by being both blocked and runny at the same time. Yes, in a bid to appear extra deserving of a sick day, I’ve effectively told my office I have the Ebola virus. I do not, in fact, have any of the above symptoms. It’s a beautiful day, I’ve spent the last hour watching Cash In The Attic with my feet up, and the only thing I’m suffering from is a guilty conscience. The guilt kicked in around the time I dialled in this morning,

Seann Walsh takes on globalisation and recommends his favourite independent café
flavourlessness, they rely on the images they’ve cultivated and the lifestyle they attach themselves to. And they have the nerve and self-belief to charge £3 for it. Jean-Paul Sartre sat in cafés and watched Paris buzz along. Across the
“It’s a far cry from sitting outside Caffè Nero in Churchill Square, waiting for a bus”
continent, they gather for strong coffee, for coffee with a kick, never getting takeaways, even if they only have 15 minutes spare. The European coffee experience, as opposed to the Anglo-American, is a romanticised ideal. And whether it‘s oversentimental or not, it’s a far-cry from sitting outside Caffè Nero in Churchill Square, waiting for a bus. These places are about commerce, not coffee. The coffee may as well be a pair of trainers, Happy Meal or Britney Spears CD. Brighton is clogged with independent cafés. My favorite – Si Signore on Sydney Street, North Laine, serves some of the best coffee in Brighton in one of its most pleasant streets. It’s European-style: you can ask simply for a white coffee, and be presented with the perfect cup thereof, strong enough to keep you awake all night. Nothing can spoil Si Signore: not even the neighbouring Cyber Dog, a noise-polluting outlet of nu-rave apparel, which makes people look like radioactive tubes of toothpaste. But the coffee’s perfect, the owners care and there’s plenty of world to observe. And somehow, despite this perfection, people still go to Starbuck’s.
Will Harris struggles with the trials of calling in sick “In a bid to appear extra deserving of a sick day, I’ve effectively told my office I have the Ebola virus”
(cannily altering my voice to sound like Mariella Frostrop – this is classed as the Frostrop Rules of calling in sick), and has got progressively worse ever since. When my phone beeps, I think it’s work. When someone walks past the window, I think it’s work. By the time Sun, Sea And Bargain Spotting comes on, I’m a total nervous wreck. The strange thing is I have friends who make this whole process look easy. Between them I swear they've mustered enough ailments to fill a medical dictionary. One in particular used to call in sick so frequently to her previous job, it’s a wonder that she wasn’t quarantined by the Centre for Tropical Diseases as a threat to public health. I, on the other hand, spend the whole day so crippled with the guilt of taking time off without legitimately earning it, I’d have probably been better off going into work in the first place. It comes as some comfort, though, that at least I haven’t sunk to the level of my aforementioned friend who, having run out of ailments to use as excuses, told her office she’d witnessed a stabbing and needed time off for emotional distress. Now that is sick.

DEFINITELY DANI 07
Dani video that featured teenage girls fighting has recently been removed from You Tube. The video was recorded at an all girls school in Dorset. Since when did it become the thing to do, to record your mates beating up some helpless girl and sticking it on the internet? Even while at school, I never understood the mentality of those kids that answered everything with a threatening ‘I’ll be waiting at the school gates’. What exactly is there to gain in beating someone to the ground? Do the people that feel the need to do this really have such a low amount of confidence that they have to physically force people below them because otherwise they would never get to experience how it feels to be bigger and better than someone else? Or is it purely a respect issue? Forcing people to beg for you to stop kicking them is no way of gaining anything but the hatred of a lot of people, the only problem being that at school no one is brave enough
A
to tell those that bully for no reason that they are infantile twats. It seems that in the minds of these youngsters, the cool thing to do is to beat the hell out of someone and then be excluded. That, nowadays, makes you cool, makes you bigger than everyone else and somehow gains you respect and a few more followers!? I personally wouldn’t want to have friends purely because they were scared of me. I would want my friends to like me for me and not because they were worried I would break their nose! But perhaps that is not important anymore. Perhaps it is better to be feared? If you looked into the lives of those that do the bullying you may be encouraged to feel sorry
Ill behaviour Talking of random acts of violence, did anyone get caught up during the protests on Bank holiday Monday? Peaceful protest – are you kidding me? What exactly have these people gained? No one is talking about what they were protesting about – just about what a nightmare they brought on Brighton and Hove! What the hell was the point in all that? A number of arrests, shops vandalised, and members of the public hurt! I understand the factory making the mechanisms that drop bombs is horrible, but really, campaigning against violence with violence? Good one!
Dani doesn’t think bullies deserve the sympathy violins they are simply trying to impress their mates. And yes, it’s true, many of us like to find a reason for the behaviour of some people, and blaming the behaviour on an outside source somehow makes the whole thing a little less bad. But this simply cannot be the case for all kids! The fact of the matter is that bullying will always be here, in schools, in offices, in homes. And schools claiming to have an anti-bullying policy means nothing. You can torment someone without laying a finger on them, and no amount of assemblies or teachers telling you otherwise will stop what happens behind the gates of every school every day. It is a sad world we live in but I wonder if it has ever been any different? There will have always been the kid who feels the need to take charge, the quiet kid and the quirky one, and sadly there has probably
“Perhaps it is better to be feared?” for them, but I have a hard time with that. I feel that by the time you have reached secondary school, you are well above the age where you don’t know right from wrong. People deal with situations in different ways, but many of the people who ‘happy slap’ are not acting out because of (small violins at the ready) difficult situations at home –
always been the one who threatens. Disposable incomes, kids wanting to have the same as everyone else and society’s bizarre view of what is normal, all contribute to a growing number of teenagers to fear.

Going their separate ways Shock news came last week as our favourite Brighton couple Katie Price and Peter Andre announced that they were to separate. In a statement released last Tuesday, Katie described her devastation at her split from Peter, insisting it was his decision to divorce. The Brighton born glamour girl then fled Britain with Junior and Princess shortly after it emerged that the pair's three-and-a-half year marriage had come to an abrupt end. Katie claimed she would always love ‘my Pete’ – and that he had instigated the split. But then later that day Peter issued a statement saying he could no longer cope with his ‘out of control’ wife. He said “I’m not jealous of anybody until Katie’s drunk. But if she’s been drinking, I know she’s capable of anything. The devil gets inside her and she’s a nightmare.” The couple, who met on reality television show I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, split just hours after pictures of Katie emerged in a national newspaper.

COVER STORY 11
Japanese art and culture
Japan heads to Brighton Moshi Moshi is transforming Bartholomew Square into an authentic Japanese Street Festival oshi Moshi’s spectacular resurgence onto the Brighton restaurant scene since new GM Karl Jones took over in November can hardly have escaped many people’s attention. While other restaurants have fallen by the wayside in the economic downturn, Mister Jones has somehow managed to buck the trend, seducing people into the restaurant with his sheer strength of personality and chutzpah. The atmosphere at Moshi Moshi is great, the food consistently good, and the 50 per cent discount extended to Moshi Members on Mondays has had people fighting for tables. At Moshi Moshi, it’s party time – and the party is about to get a distinctly more frenetic feel with Moshi Moshi playing host to a full-blown Japanese street festival from 28 May to 31 May. “It’s all going a little bezerk here,” admits Karl. Since inadvertently mentioning the off-the-cuff idea of a Japanese festival in an interview for The Argus shortly before Christmas, he’s been inundated by Japanese punk pop bands, taiko drummers, Japanese potters, and Japanese sweet makers with requests to get in on the
M
act. Slow Food Brighton and Lewes has also got involved to showcase some of the best food producers from the local area: East & West Bakery will have a stall, alongside Namayasai, the delightful company that grows organic Japanese vegetables in an ancient flint-walled garden in Lewes. An-an will also be selling their range of authentic Japanese desserts and sweets. “Anyone who has experienced a Japanese matsuri (street festival) will know how exciting these things can be,” says Karl. “There’s always a total chaos of noise and colour and movement
at these events in Japan, where people let rip and enjoy themselves. There’s always lots of food – and lots of sake and beer to drink, of course.” Asahi, Japan’s premier beer brand, will have a beer tent in the square over the four days, and Moshi Moshi will have a number of food stands serving a wider range of Japanese food than usually on offer at the restaurant. There’ll be yakisoba (panfried noodles), okonomiyaki (Japanese omelettes from Osaka), and a large barbeque with chicken yakitori, grilled squid, sweet corn teriyaki and gyoza dumplings.
The festival will be host to a number of events and shows for children and families during the day. The Brighton & Hove Japanese Club will be giving free classes in calligraphy, origami and Japanese language over the four days, and local artists, including the famous pottery maker and teacher Phil Lyddon, will be displaying his raku techniques. Children will also be able to participate in various traditional Japanese games, including a fancy dress competition. To enter children should come in a manga, sushi, or any other Japanese themed costume. “No matsuri would be complete without taiko drummers,” says Karl. “Whoever hasn't heard the noise coming out of these beautifully made six foot drums has got something to look forward to. They’ll be doing shows throughout Sunday, but people should give us a call to check times.” But the undisputed highlight of the festival are the Japanese electro rock bands Leveload, Dragolgo, Natccu and Hanjiro, who will be playing for free in the square on Saturday night. Customers would do well to book their tables early, because there's been huge interest generated by these names. “We’ve had people contact us from all over the country,” Karl says. For a moment, he seems a little rueful. “Maybe I should have charged for some of these events,” he says, but then he shrugs. “At least people will enjoy themselves, and that’s the important thing.” he laughs. “It’ll be a good party.” Knowing Mister Jones, it will be. Japanese Street Festival, from 10am to 11pm, Thursday 28 May to Sunday 31 May, at Moshi Moshi, The Opticon, Bartholomew Square, Brighton, BN1 1JS. Tel: 01273 719195. www.moshimoshi.co.uk

A new age Brighton and Hove city council leader Mary Mears on how she’d like the city to develop o me, every council meeting is important. But this Thursday’s meeting of the Cabinet is particularly pivotal. It’s the meeting in which I will set out what sort of council I want us to be over the next few months and years. More importantly, I will tell fellow councillors and the public about the sort of city I believe we can help Brighton and Hove become. So what sort of city is that? I believe Brighton and Hove can and should be the city of opportunity. And when
T
I say that, I don’t just mean opportunity for the privileged – but opportunity for all. You might wonder how we can provide opportunities for a quarter of a million people. Aren’t councils only there to do things like collect rubbish and build roads, you might ask?

Lynn Ruth Miller
• Star of the Festival • Outstanding Contribution to the Festival
A rolling shortlist of nominees has been posted at thelatest.co.uk/7/ and so far it includes ‘stripping granny’ Lynn Ruth Miller, who performed Aging is Amazing at The Quadrant, and late night ‘secret speakeasy’ The Blind Tiger Club, which continues this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We are also looking for members of the public who are seeing lots of shows and would like to join the judging panel.
Email judges@thelatest.co.uk Tickets for the show are £7/5. As Latest went to press, about half had already been sold so move quickly to secure your place. Call 0844 800 7114 or visit brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk
Well, by providing excellent services and fostering strong communities, we can provide all sorts of opportunities and I want to explain how. First, I want to provide opportunity for people through low local taxes which allow us the freedom to spend more of our own money. I want to nurture the city’s cultural offerings, for example its festivals, music scene and theatres, so that people have the opportunity to experience the arts and entertainment and in so doing develop their own view of the world. And I want to encourage participation in local democracy and interaction with the council to give residents the opportunity
to influence the decisions that affect their lives. It also means opportunity for businesses. By marketing the city as a place to do business, and as a retail and cultural hub, the council can attract opportunities for inward investment. Finally, it means opportunity for the city by improving housing, keeping the streets clean, reducing graffiti, and tackling crime and anti-social behaviour. As a council, we must work closely with our partners and business community to make our city a great place to live, work and visit.
There is also an award for Best Open House chosen by Latest, presented on 19 May, at the Artists Open Houses Awards.

News Phil Mills looks into the fiasco of the recently revealed MPs’ expenses claims
Picking pockets L abour initially bore the brunt of criticism over the MPs’ expenses scandal but it is the Tories who have abused the system the most, according to Brighton MP Des Turner. After revelations that some Conservative backbenchers claimed for cleaning swimming pools and chandeliers he said, “Some of Cameron’s nobs have really been taking the mickey by claiming for what are hardly essential parliamentary expenses. “The Tories have come off worse in this but the media is after us (Labour) – and the standing of MPs as a whole has taken a blow.” Dr Turner, Labour member for Kemp Town, said, “It seems some MPs have spent as much time looking for loopholes in the expenses rule book than they have on constituency duties. “The standing of MPs is now lower than that of journalists and bankers – it’s pretty well bottom of the heap and it will take some time to recover.” He believes that in some cases, the expenses claimed should be refunded. Sussex MPs claimed more than £300,000 on second homes to avoid commuting and only Hove MP Celia Barlow chose to travel to London every day.
“Sussex MPs claimed more than £300,000 on second homes”
A princely sum Judges joined more than 180 representatives from local law firms and barristers chambers at the Sussex Law Society’s annual dinner at the Brighton Hilton Metropole Hotel. Over £1,000 was raised for the society’s chosen charity, the Princes Trust, which
supports young people. Pictured, left to right: Judge Anthony Niblett, past president of the society Gilva Tisshaw, Judge Richard Brown, District Judge Keeley Bishop, society president Julian Hunt, and society council member Pat Richards.
David Lepper, Labour MP for Brighton Pavilion, claimed for his London flat and insisted it saved him time and enabled him to do a better job. But he had questioned the accuracy of some of the revelations. He has handed in to the Freedom of Information office (FoI) 20 pages of inaccuracies he has discovered. They include the use of names of staff which should have been kept anonymous. Mr Lepper said: “They are not necessarily major David Lepper inaccuracies but they do show some things that have been revealed are, in fact, wrong.” The cost of the FoI exercise to reveal all these expenses claims for the past four years, he said, runs to £1.25 million and, he said, for that kind of money, the information should be correct, and it should not have disclosed staff names. He said the exercise had been “shoddily” researched but, he said, he too believed some claims exposed will rightly lead to demands monies should be paid back. “Some MPs should be examining their consciences.” He said the practice of “flipping” second-home Des Turner allowance to different properties “really was pushing the limits”. The reputation of MPs, he said, had suffered but he said he and his MP colleagues were continuing to receive praise and credit from constituents they had helped.

Don’t forget to send your suggestions to festival@thelatest.co.uk I have been to Blind Tiger Club every night it has been on, from the 1 May. Amazing atmosphere, lovely people, time passes very quickly. All the guests making a great effort with costumes and warm attitude! So many people talking about this night, everyone looks very good looking in period dress. A perfect night for Brighton, it will be sorely missed by many people, it has a following. I haven’t done half as much work as I should have this month and have pretty much jet lagged myself by going home when it’s light! Yours, Natasha Coverdale, Hove I would like to nominate Littles Hair’s Fringe Cuts for my favourite Festival and Fringe show in the Latest Awards. I’ve always been a fan of improvised comedy since I watched Whose Line Is It Anyway? on Channel 4 as youngster. This show had a similar format and the group were incredibly talented at it and kept me laughing for the whole hour. I enjoyed it so much I’m going back next week to see it again. Spencer, Lancing

Last chance to see Don’t miss out, there’s still time to book for the final week of Brighton Festival ▲
ome people think there’s no point in trying to book a Brighton Festival show once the Festival has started, because they will have all sold out. But in fact, with over 165 events in the Festival this year, many have tickets right up to the last minute. Here is a selection of top Festival events for which you can still get tickets. An exclusive double-bill of top jazz, 5 Squared (23 May), features two modern jazz masters, Dave Holland and Andy Sheppard with their respective quintets.

Two discussions of Kapoor’s themes also have tickets available. Barbarism – The Blood of Others (22 May) examines whether humanity is cursed with a cruel gene, ready to plunge us at any moment into mayhem and destruction, with artist Jake Chapman (of the Chapman Brothers), Professor Joanna Bourke (An Intimate History of Killing) and classicist Edith Hall (Inventing the Barbarian).

20 HEALTH As seen on ‘Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies’
Allergic? It’s National Allergy Week, so what will your reaction be? asks Rebecca Hill uring the summer I am constantly surrounded by tissues. My boyfriend claims that I am followed by the Tissue Fairy, but unfortunately there is a more harrowing truth; hayfever. There are over nine million sufferers of hayfever in the UK, and over 18 million sufferers of allergies in general. Sadly, the UK has the lowest ratio of specialists to deal with the increasing rate of allergy than any other country. In light of this, I am pleased to acknowledge National Allergy Week. From 18 May to 22 May, the UK will be promoting awareness and issuing advice to all who suffer from any kind of allergy. With Britain being in the top three of all countries to have the highest rate of allergy, it is obvious that we are in need of some educating. There are people who have never experienced the impending sense of doom that hayfever brings, or how a sufferer feels when the rest of the country is rolling down windows and frolicking in the countryside. I generally think of them as the lucky ones. Statistically, one in three of us will suffer from an allergy of some kind in our life. I personally spend much of the summer cursing the fact that a slight breeze or waft of pollen can instantly bring rain over my sunny disposition. And as an added genetic blow, I'm also allergic to cats and dairy, among other things. Speculation as to why allergies are on the increase is rife, with many statistics pointing to the changing diets of Europeans over the past few decades. Others claim that the changing climate and increasing pollution are to blame. The most common allergens are pollen or dust, pets, wasps and bees, medicines and foods. Each of these allergies have a myriad proposed cures and supplements, most of which are subjective or only work for some. The fact is, there is no better time than now to find out what could help you if you or someone you know suffers from allergies. Keep your ears and eyes open during the week, and you could change someone's life. I know if someone found a way for me to picnic this summer without going blind and trailing tissues, they would be my God!

YOUR WEEKLY GUIDE TO WHAT’S ON 19 – 25 MAY Under review Here’s our roundup of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk Rimini Protokoll – Breaking News This was the German ‘reality theatre’ group’s first UK performance, and on the back of this they will surely be invited back. The show kicks-off at 8 o’clock, when the world’s live news bulletins are simultaneously broadcast on a plethora of screens across the stage. The broadcasts are interpreted by nine journalists and translators, all presided over by News Editor Andreas Osterhaus. It’s fascinating to see how the world’s events are shown around the globe and the fact that the feed is live, means even those on stage do not know how the performance will unravel. This eye-opening evening had a fast pace and remained highly engaging throughout.
Jordi Savall – Le Concert des Nations Jordi Savall has spent the last 30 years performing, recording and generally flying the flag for a vast repertoire of early music from the Mediaeval to the Baroque. For connoisseurs of this highly specialised musical epoch, the Brighton Festival‘s securing of such a passionate exponent, within the wonderful Glyndebourne Opera House for the recital, was a double treat. Savall‘s period-instrument ensemble consisted of theorbo (guitar), violin and harpsichord, with Savall himself on treble viol and bass viol (cello), producing a dreamy, delicate sound, the rhythms and colours of which conjured a window back into the seventeenth century cultural world. It would be impossible to imagine this better performed.

Rosie Wilby – I AM NESIA A very well structured and interesting show from accomplished stand-up Rosie Wilby in a lovely, intimate setting. Wilby tackled the subject of human memory with grace, confidence and a great deal of strong material. She connected well to the small audience, and ensured that everyone was at ease in her company. The show contained interesting information about the subject, interspersed easily with personal anecdotes and great gags. A really enjoyable and engaging show that deserved a later slot and a larger audience. The Quadrant, 10 May

Steampunk Circus The Marlborough has gone mad for Victoriana recently, so what better way to celebrate the fringe than with a Steampunk medley of cabaret and music, attended by audiences and performers in bodices and top hats? In true Fringe style, this was a spontaneous affair, with the first band only booked at the very last minute. Luckily it was the supremely talented Brighton folk band The Moulettes, who brought the house down with their infectious enthusiasm, footstomping tracks and the five utterly charming minutes where they were unable to play because they had the giggles. This is the first Fringe for The Marlborough's new management - as a venue, it‘s definitely worth a look-in.
★★★★★
Marlborough Little Theatre, 3 May
Hot review of the week Clever Peter Sharp, punchline-packed and full of fresh ideas and new twists. This sketch comedy group, nominated last year for best comedy show of the Fringe, has developed in the last year to truly find its own individual tone. In parts quite adult, in others, juvenile, it's a careful balance of influences, pulling off that most elusive of tricks – successfully transposing those random thoughts with mates in the pub into an immensely enjoyable hour-long show. Congratulations to them. A twisted and funny mind is a joy forever.

Yee ha Andrew Kay takes in Carousel in London and looks forward to Oklahoma! at Chichester s a complete Rodgers and Hammerstein junkie I could not resist a trip to London to see Lesley Garrett in Carousel. It’s my joint favourite with Oklahoma! and knowing that Chichester Festival Theatre were tackling that in June it seemed an appropriate time to take a look at their work. Timeless is perhaps not the right work for these massive musicals but they are certainly enduring. As well as crafting a fine tune and a pert lyric they had the knack, for the most part, for finding a good dramatic vehicle for their talents. The West End Carousel was excellent. First class singing from the entire company, brilliant and energetic choreography and a cast that included actors of appropriate ages playing all the parts. Ms Garrett was in fine voice, can dance and played the role with a gentle touch. She also let the principals take the final curtain despite her top billing. Technology played a big part in the settings with some excellent effects but also some clunky computer generated imagery, especially in the final scene. But it still won my heart and confirmed my belief in this great merging of talents. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! – one of the most loved musical romances of all times – opens in June at Chichester Festival Theatre as their large scale summer musical. Joyous and bursting with vitality, the landmark American musical

L7 lowdown What’s on this week
Coraline 3D (PG) Dir: Henry Selick The man who brought us The Nightmare Before Christmas teams up with fantasy writer Neil Gaiman, to bring us this delectably twisted animated film. Coraline (Dakota Fanning) escapes from her world of distracted parents to a land ruled by the Other Mother (Teri Hatcher) that soon turns from tempting to something altogether more sinister. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Star Trek (12A) Dir: JJ Abrams From Kirk (Chris Pine) brawling in a bar to the final assembly of the crew we know and love – Spock (Heroes’ Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban), Scotty (Simon Pegg), Sulu (John Cho), and Uhura (Zoe Saldana) – this is how they came to be boldly going where no one had gone before. And, of course, a battle with Romulan Nero (Eric Bana) to show their true mettle. Lush. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld
save someone you can bet this is more of the same successful formula. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon X-Men Origins: Wolverine (12A) Dir: Gavin Hood Hugh Jackman reprises his role as Wolverine, telling his story as it leads up to the beginning of the first X-Men film. With plenty of superpowered action and some excellent mean’n’moody from Liev Schreiber, not forgetting the mysterious Project X, this will knock your socks off. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Synecdoche, New York (15) Dir: Charlie Kaufman The directorial debut of acclaimed writer Kaufman, the man behind Being John Malkovich, is unsurprisingly ambitious. Philip Seymour Hoffman is Caden, a director whose wife leaves him and new relationships run aground. So he runs off to New York to put on a stage play of brutal honesty. Showing at Duke Of York’s
Fighting (15) Dir: Dito Montiel Channing Tatum (that dashing fellow from teen flick She’s The Man) is Shawn, a man who comes to New York with nothing and finds himself drawn into the unsavoury world of bare-knuckle fighting. The punches in the ring are the least of the dodges he finds he has to pull just to survive, culminating in the fight of his life. Showing at Odeon
Cheri (15) Dir: Stephen Frears Set in 1920s Paris, Rupert Friend (Keira Knightley’s main squeeze) plays the son of a courtesan who retreats into a fantasy world after being forced to break off a relationship with an older woman. Also starring Kathy Bates and Michelle Pfeiffer. Nominated for the Golden Berlin Bear. Showing at Duke Of York’s
Angels & Demons (12A) Dir: Ron Howard Tom Hanks is back in this Da Vinci Code prequel (although director Ron Howard has spoken out naming it more a sequel than a prequel), summoned to the Vatican City to investigate a murder ominously tied to the Illuminati. With many more twists and turns, secret codes and flying-bythe-seat-of-your-pants mad dashes to
Anvil! Story Of Anvil (15) Dir: Sacha Gervasi At 14, Robb Reiner and Lipps formed the band since hailed as ‘demi-gods of Canadian metal’. Cited as influencing Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax, they never achieved popular success themselves. Now in their 50s they set off to record their 13th album for one last chance at the big time.

FILM 25 mumbling, doing this Detective Colombo act, acting confused about everything, but the truth of the matter is he doesn’t miss a trick. He is sharp as a tack and knows what is going on every second of the day. It’s really interesting to watch him. How is Chéri relevant to our period? Well, I think the themes are actually very modern, universal and timeless, really. The issues of ageing, and our youth-obsessed culture, certainly in America and to varying degrees across the world. Also, the value put on youth and the taboos we put on age differences and certainly the woman being older than the man, the double standard, all of those things.
Mon cheri... “We are not any more beauty-obsessed in Hollywood than the rest of the world”
What’s your attitude to beauty and age, which is a big concern particularly in Hollywood? People say ‘particularly in Hollywood’ about everything! It’s only particularly in Hollywood because it’s reported by the media, and everyday people are not. We are not any more beauty-obsessed than the rest of the world. Honestly, I think there’s a tremendous pressure on women everywhere to compete with the covers of fashion magazines. And the truth is those women don’t look like that either! So it’s a little messed up.
Did it stir memories of Dangerous Liaisons? That was so long ago! I was so excited, because I do have such fond memories of making that film, and working with Christopher and Stephen again. I have to say that Stephen hasn’t changed a bit. He’s even grumpier than he was before. But I saw through a lot of it! He walks around the set,
Is it harder to get roles as you get older? Well, I do think that the amount of roles might diminish, but I think they get more interesting. I’ve been really lucky that I’ve been able to play the roles I’ve played. I’ve also really enjoyed playing the roles I’ve played in the last few years, when I came back from my hiatus. It was kind of a selfinduced vacation.
Michelle Pfeiffer talks about starring in Chéri as a Parisian courtesan who falls for a younger man Can you tell me about this character? Well, it was challenging. What I loved about the character, and what Colette wrote and what I felt Christopher [Hampton] really captured from the novel, is that she’s not the stereotype of what you’d expect to find when you say ‘courtesan’. She was just so full of contradictions and so ahead of her time. The challenge was, within the constraints of it being a period film and the manners of that day, [was to show] the underlying emotion and how much to let out of the bag and how much not to let out of the bag. Ultimately, the decision was Stephen [Frears]’s in the editing room, and he did different versions. So I think that was probably the biggest challenge – finding that balance.
Had you got tired of Hollywood? No, I didn’t. Not consciously. I just think the dynamics of what was going in my life…I was just really busy, and had made a big move, and the family…there was just a lot consuming me. I wasn’t reading anything that compelled me to go back to work. Then, once things started to settle down, I began to think, ‘How many years has it been since I’ve worked?’ I started feeling like I was ready to go back. I was getting a little itchy.

26 STAND-UP COMEDY | ART
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle talks to the rather impressive comedy group The Penny Dreadfuls
he Penny Dreadfuls are a group of three rather talented fellows who have previously hit success running with their series first of sketch comedy, progressing onto a full-form linear single tale for an entire hour last year – all set in the Victorian era. Under the name of Aeneus Faversham they have won awards and had two series of The Brother Faversham on BBC Radio 7, with further radio and television development projects in the works with the BBC. All of David Reed, Thom Tuck and Humphrey Ker are clearly well spoken. Which is difficult for me because we’re telephone conferencing and I can’t tell who said what. “Shall we announce our names at the beginning of each answer?” one suggests, “Like someone reading a script incorrectly”. “We’ll have to say ‘roger’ at the end as well,” comments another. I suggest stage direction actions too. “Humphrey lounges,” is announced at this point and I ask if he’s stretching his very tall frame as well. “Um, yeah.” This won’t be simple. So, what’s the show about? “David. It’s set in the present day and it’s about a man who wakes up on an island and has to stop something happen. We don’t want to say too much as there are many twists and turns and we don’t want to spoil it.” “And there’s lots of beef,” another of them interjects. “Yes,” agrees David. “It’s a beef themed island.” Is it an Edinburgh preview? “Yes it is. But we’ve already played it in Edinburgh and in Glasgow and it went down very well up there.” So why the move away from the Victorian era? “Thom. Well, we’d done a trio of shows in the 19th century as well as two radio series, and after you’ve done something for three years there’s a real danger that people start thinking you can’t do anything else.” And are you looking forward to playing Brighton? “Yes, my girlfriend lives down there.” Who said that? “Oh, sorry, David. We’ve never had a bad gig in Brighton.” “Well done, you’ve just cursed us,” interjects one of the others. “No, it’s great in Brighton. you’ve got the sea and everything. That’s loads better than a river – eh Leicester!” Not fans of Leicester then. “And fantastic fish and chips. Well done!” Why, thank you. The Penny Dreadfuls is on Upstairs at The Three And Ten, and as a part of the Fringe Festival on 2, 3, 23 and 24 May. Humphrey, David and Thom Tickets are £9/7.

John O’Donoghue salutes Andrew Motion and welcomes the new female Poet Laureate s we say goodbye to Andrew Motion, the last in a long line of male Poet Laureates, we welcome Carol Ann Duffy to the role of national poet. It’s going to be a very interesting time now for poetry. Motion’s reign marked several turning points. He’s the first Laureate to hand on the role. He’s also the first poet to broaden the scope of the Laureate’s reach: from addressing the TUC to writing a poem for Harry Patch, the last surviving Tommy to have fought in World War I, to his poem protesting at the invasion of Iraq, ‘Regime Change’. I think his greatest gift to us all, besides his poetry, has been the institution of the Poetry Archive. This website, holds a whole series of poetic gems, from Charles Causley’s ‘Nursery Rhyme Of Innocence And Experience’ to Dylan Thomas’s ‘In My Craft Or Sullen Art’. Anyone who’s interested in poetry could do worse than start here. My admiration for Carol Ann Duffy comes from the fact that she never succumbed to the blandishments of ‘New Generation’, the scheme to promote a disparate group of poets back in the 90s. New Generation may have been exciting, it may have established poetry as a career rather than a vocation, but I would like to think that Duffy, in walking on by when the names were being taken, thought that in the garden of English poetry it’s best to admit only to bonds of affection rather than commerce. Part seer, part muse, part prophetess, for her poetry is not about perfection of the life or of the art – it’s about how poetry is received and celebrated. To the school of Duffy let us not admit impediments. Ladies, your turn has come. Andrew Motion will be at The Tennyson Weekend, Haslemere, Surrey 22 – 24 May. www.haslemere.com/tennyson

ormed by ex-club promoter and largerthan-life Barry Ashworth in 1996, Dub Pistols have evolved slowly over time. This year sees them release only their fourth album but with each passing year and tour they seem to be garnering a bigger and broader fanbase for their infectious and laidback fusion of dub, ska, house and hip hop. At one point they even had a deal with the mighty Geffen Records, which Ashworth has recalled with a certain fondness: “Going from a South London geezer to a million-dollar deal with Geffen wasn’t really dangerous because I’d always lived my life to the full and I’ve always been surrounded by parties. “It just gave me the right to carry on and do what I believed I had the right to do anyway.” Although that deal went flat, the Pistols eventually re-grouped and are now settled in with Rob da Bank’s Sunday Best label. Along with Jason O’Bryan, Dub Pistols have been crafting and refining the new album, Rum & Coke, for over a year now, assisted by a galaxy of accomplished singers, writers and musicians including Ashley Slater (exFreak Power), Lindy Layton (ex-Beats International), reggae star Gregory Isaacs, DJ Justin Robertson and regular Dub Pistols cohorts Rodney P and TK Lawrence. If that sounds a bit old school, well it is… Although they don’t go in for the
gig
production techniques that attempt to emulate a long-gone sound (as is de rigeur these days, it seems), their musical roots are long and deep, extending to the flowering of house and rave culture back in the late 80s, but going back even further to punk and two-tone. Terry Hall of The Specials was a hero of Ashworth’s and it
gave him great pleasure to work with him on the Pistols‘ previous outing Speakers and Tweeters. “Getting to record a ska track with him was mind-blowing. I can’t put into words how mind-blowing it was to have him in my house, let alone meet him and record with him,“ he said. Using sequencers, samplers, keyboards, bass, guitars, turntables and MCs, Dub Pistols‘ studio creations come to life on stage where they usually get the house skanking along to their eminently dancebale grooves.

June Tabor Queen of the folk world, and despite having partaken in a John Peel session back in the late 70s, Tabor has a reputation for being a bit sniffy about folk and its sacred purity. Which is a shame because she’s actually an unpredictable singer (conversely, with a very precise vocal style), capable of turning her hand also to French mediaeval ballads and more jazz flavoured work. As part of the Brighton Festival she’ll be performing two consecutive nights with different musicians; a great and increasingly rare opportunity to see this peerless singer. Tuesday 20 May, Corn Exchange Antony & The Johnsons Back in 2003 Antony Johnson came to the Brighton Festival as a part of Lou Reed’s Raven Tour.

REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases othic freaks The Horrors came up with a superb debut a couple of years ago, but for their second album they’ve blurred the edges, employed some My Bloody Valentine wall of sound techniques, upped the 60s garage quotient and gone even heavier. Live they are a blast, if a little bit of a messy racket, but there is no doubting the primal appeal of this band, even if they look like rejects from The Addams Family. There isn’t a great deal of voodoo within their music but The Voodoo Trombone Quartet do deal in gusts of warm ska, rocksteady, funk and pop. Second album …Again is another summer slice of goodtime vibes, easy-going beats and bouncy rhythms. Released on the Brightonbased Freshly Squeezed label. The third album Dish It Up from Brighton’s favourite ska sound lifts you up from start to finish. Los Albertos are by no means traditionalists; each song celebrates the way of the feckless and keeps the party jumping to true Brightonian style. From the Quadrophenia inspired ‘Leslie’ to the cheeky plea for cash in ‘Julie’, to the title track of ‘Dish It Out’ taunting how ‘you can dish it out but you just can’t take it’. It’s a raucous school yard pleasure with every track. Remarkably, the six-strong band loses none of its old skool influenced sound while still delivering an album that comes across as fresh as a daisy. They’re obviously still enjoying their music. I’m happy to say that so are we. Despite making piles of money over the last few years from touring and re-living their former glories Madness haven’t got around to an album since 1999. The Liberty of Norton Valance comprises 14 tracks of quintessential Madness, led by the inimitable voice of Suggs, and backed by that easy-on-the-ear ska melodies and rhythms that served them so well in their heyday. Still strong lyrically, and still full of joie de vivre. Finally, the also-not-so-young Dub Pistols via their largin’ it central duo of Barry Ashworth continue to party like its 1989, imbibing plenty of Rum and Coke on the way, but bringing salvation in the form of consistently decent platters that cross the fertile boundaries of hip hop, house, ska and dub. It’s the guest vocalists that provide the personality to the music which is generally laid-back, if a little bit unchallenging at times. Still, Ashley Slater, Linda Layton, Rodney P, Justin Robertson and Gregory Isaacs are among those lending the proceedings some vocal depth.

Close shave The show will go on for a Fringe performance made homeless when a venue was cancelled at the eleventh hour. The Swinging Salami Showcase Spectacular will be staged at the Blind Tiger Club – Playgroup‘s fringe venue in a secret location – on Friday and Saturday, 22 and 23 May. The show was originally put together by Brighton cabaret favourites Boogaloo Stu and Fake Bush to be staged in the Sundown Show Bar, a temporary venue to be located next to St Peter’s Church.
Captain Kidd
Le Gateau Chocolat
But Sundown, run by the people behind Beachdown Festival, was cancelled just a week before Brighton Festival Fringe began because of unexpected costs. The Swinging Salami will feature two of the stars from previous Fringe hit La Clique, drag legend Le Gateau Chocolat and male burlesque performer Captain Kidd. Other performers will include Dolly Rocket, Team Mud Cheerleaders and The Sparklemotion Showponies. Fri 22 and Sat 23 May, 8pm–11pm Tickets £10/8. Call the Dome box office on 01273 709709 or visit www.brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk
Play gay Latest Gay talks to Tarik Elmoutawakil of The Marlborough Theatre about the Fringe and why Brighton needs queer theatre his year’s Fringe programme at The Marlborough Theatre has been exceptionally ambitious. The venue is staging 80 shows in three weeks, a tough job for experienced venues, but for Tarik Elmoutawakil, who became theatre manager only last autumn, it has been a phenomenal challenge. There has been cross-dressed (even more than is traditional) Shakespeare, queer music hall, steampunk, a séance, tons of theatre, Club Wotever and Ladygarden, a group of female comics who picked up an award for being one of the highlights of the whole Fringe. Still to come are innovative shows such as Marlborough Motherf***er, presented by Carnival Catalyst Productions, with the best of London and Brighton’s queer scene. Not bad for a venue which could not function without its volunteers. As with any fledgling venue, there have of course been some teething problems, such as occasional over-running or disappointing ticket sales. These are hiccups of new venue management, which will be ironed out as the weeks go by. The important thing is the charismatic Regency theatre has been offering something not found anywhere else.

Money raisers Stonewall’s sixth annual Brighton Equality Walk drew more walkers and raised more money than ever. More than 400 walkers joined hosts Brian Paddick and Mr Gay UK Dino Gamecho, on the 10k walk to raise over £50,000, £20,000 more than last year. The event on Sunday 3 May was supported by American Express and opened by Garry Peltzer Dunn, Mayor of Brighton and Hove. Walkers followed a route set by BLAGSS, Brighton Lesbian and Gay Sports Society, ending with a
prize-giving ceremony at Legends. “Stonewall’s work can make an even greater difference to the lives of young lesbian, gay and bisexual people around the country, thanks to the success of this year’s equality walk,” said Laura Doughty, Stonewall’s director of fundraising. “This will help us towards our aim of producing and sending a DVD of FIT, our successful play for schools, to every secondary school in Britain so they have more confidence in tackling homophobic bullying.”
“We offer lots of things that aren’t offered on the gay highway” Tarik worked at the Marlborough pub for six years so he knows how important it is as part of Brighton’s gay scene. He has tried to make his theatre programming totally inclusive and to accommodate as many requests for performance space as possible. “I feel I have been given a good opportunity by the pub manager, Styles Beagley, and I am very grateful for that,“ he explains. “So rather than saying no to people, we’ll say yes. “We offer lots of things that aren’t offered on the gay highway [around St James’s Street]. “Brighton’s a real alternative place and I don’t see there is much for an alternative crowd. We really want to offer something that is different.“ The Marlborough Theatre aims to be as versatile as possible and is likely to be found staging anything from queer theatre or spoken word about the Stonewall riots to a drag show. Tarik said the venue was very grateful to its “fantastic“ team of volunteers who do everything from box office to decorating. Any queer performers who want to take an open mike slot at Marlborough Motherf***er should contact Tarik at carnivalcataylst@hotmail.com Marlborough Motherf***er, Thurs 21 May, 10.30pm. £5/4 Call 01273 709709 or www.brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk

She says it how she sees it
Find Me A Family Tuesday 9pm Channel Four his documentary is the first of its kind. The first episode follows a couple, Richard and Cathy, for two years as they try and adopt a child. Their only child, Rachel, was conceived using fertility treatments and they would like to have a little sister for her so have decided to adopt. But there are a couple of problems. Firstly, there is a huge assessment process in which the potential parents are put through a number of ‘tests’. Also, most children waiting to be adopted are not exactly what the adopting public are looking for, many have disabilities and need a lot of emotional support, or they have siblings who want to be kept together. A man called David, who was in care until he was 18, has set up a course where he tries to encourage families looking to adopt to stretch their own expectations. Cathy and Richard get a chance to test themselves and are ‘lent’ two children – a brother and sister, for a weekend, to see if their minds can be changed as to whether they would be able to manage if they adopted a sibling group. For them, they also have to take their own daughter into consideration. The entire weekend is being watched by Richard and Kathy’s social worker who will use the time to build up her portfolio of the couple and assess them. David’s experiment of giving the family a test sibling group seems to have worked and Kathy and Richard feel they could adopt a sibling group. Does this experiment show that it is our ideals that stop the adoption of larger groups and children with disabilities? Perhaps if more people got the chance to see what they can handle we would have more children in permanent homes. Richard and Cathy get to see the first draft of their assessment. It seems that their passion to adopt could be their downfall. The social worker picked up on the fact that while talking about the adoption Cathy became very passionate and marked that as a negative. I have never really seen the process a family has to go through to adopt, and this is an eye opener. These families are scrutinised and picked apart and although they have to be for the safety and happiness of the adoptive child, it is also incredibly hard on the family. Richard and Cathy were given the thumbs up by the adoptive panel and now have to choose their child. The issues this programme brings up are numerous and it makes you really think about what you would be able to deal with let alone what you want.

Films on TV Top tips for your week of flicks TUESDAY 19
The Village ★★★✩✩ (2004, BBC1, 10.40pm. Dir M Night Shyamalan) When there really is something nasty in the woods you’d better beware, especially when you’re in a nineteenth century village. No police helicopters and the like to call. Lucky old Bryce Dallas Howard, Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Sigourney Weaver and Brendan Gleeson. Average film, stellar cast.
Clint Eastwood directed and starred in this much acclaimed Western, widely regarded as a pretty accurate portrayal of the time. Retired gunslinger Clint reluctantly takes on one last job with the help of his old partner and a young whippersnapper of a newbie. With an excellent cast and array of awards, this is Friday night class.
SATURDAY 23 The Goonies ★★★★★
WEDNESDAY 20
(1985, Five, 5.55pm. Dir Richard Donner) “Hey you guys!” Now an iconic classic of any 80s childhood. A motley crew of kids go on a treasure hunt, dodging hoods and traps along the way to try to raise the funds to save their parents’ house. Worth noticing that the ‘kids’ include young Josh Brolin (W), Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings) and Corey Feldman (Lost Boys).
Mr Smith Goes To Washington ★★★★✩
SUNDAY 24
(1939, Film4, 4.45pm. Dir Frank Capra) Jimmy Stewart stars in this ode to political corruption as the naive man appointed to the fill a post in the US Senate. He soon finds that his idealistic plans clash with those of the corrupt incumbants, but will he back down? Will he, heck! Lovely for this current climate of optimism in US politics.
THURSDAY 21
There Will Be Blood ★★★★★ (2007, Sky Movies Indie, 7.20pm. Dir Paul Thomas Anderson) An epic tale of an oil empire built up from scratch in America’s Wild West. Starring Daniel Day-Lewis on terrifying form as a prospector determined to make his fortune at any costs, morphing from hard-working to twisted tyrant before your eyes.
FRIDAY 22
The Unforgiven ★★★★✩ (1992, ITV1, 10.35pm. Dir Clint Eastwood)
Grease ★★★★★ (1978, Film4, 6.50pm. Dir Randal Kleiser) The epitome of high school musical cool, before Disney sprang upon the idea and got its teeth stuck in. Watch John Travolta fall for Olivia NewtonJohn all over again with classic tunes like ‘Summer Lovin’, ‘Greased Lightning’ and ‘Beauty School Drop Out’. Warning: It’s impossible not to singlaong at some point.
MONDAY 25
National Treasure ★★★✩✩ (2004, BBC1, 5pm. Dir Jon Turteltaub) Nic Cage stars in this cross between Indiana Jones and The Da Vinci Code, with plenty of advenutre, capers and chases mixed in with a little bit of brainwork. Co-starring Diane Kruger as the museum employee caught up in the pursuit of a stolen artifact, Jon Voight as young Cage’s pa, and Sean Bean as the pal turned baddie. Victoria Nangle Grease, Sunday 24, 6.50pm, Film4

tuesday 19 The Trouble With Working Women BBC2, 9pm In the second of this thoughtprovoking series, Sophie Raworth (pictured) and Justin Rowlett look at pay. It’s almost 40 years since the passing of the Equal Pay Act, and yet there is still a gap between men’s and women’s wages. Time for a bit of investigation.
Holiday Showdown ITV1, 9pm One man’s meat is another man’s poison, as demonstrated in this week’s holiday swap. The Brown family take the Maybes on a survival course in Scotland. Naturally, the Maybes retaliate with a week of all-inclusive decadence in Lanzarote, with the Brown’s teenage daughter taking to it a little too well. Go rebel girl!
We Need Answers BBC4, 10pm Another chance to catch Mark Watson (pictured), Tim Key and Alex Horne leading this very funny quiz based on their awardwinning Edinburgh show. Celebrity guests are Michael Rosen and Germaine Greer, with questions pitched from audience members and a text-messaging service. Surreal and truly fun.

thursday 21 The Home Show Channel 4, 8pm Architect George Clarke has a plan. To help people fall in love with their old homes using a budget supplied by the homeowners and his own conviction that they’ll LOVE his ideas. A veritable Gok Wan for the home. This week a touch of structural damage bites into his budget. It’ll look FAB though.
Keep It In The Family BBC2, 9pm 28-year-old Sarah manages a deli in Glasgow’s trendy West End, but now her family’s 400 acre dairy farm in Kent needs her attention. Bit different really. Never one to be scuppered she takes the crash course in milking, feeding and animal husbandry to see if she’s cut out to continue the family business.
The Inbetweeners E4, 10pm Both nostalgic and realistic, this comedy series about four teenage boys hits just the right chord. Like when Will, Simon, Jay and Neil bunk off school, dress Will up as a ‘grown up’ and then head to Neil’s house to get plastered. You know revelations and mental torture from your peers won’t be far off.

friday 22 Boy Meets Girl ITV1, 9pm It’s the final part of the body swap comedy, so hopefully this means they’ll get everything sorted by the end of the programme, leaving them happier and wiser. Maybe. In the meantime, Danny has to choose between the woman he loves and the man who wants to marry Veronica. It’s a toughie.
NCIS Five, 9pm The federal agency investigating Navy mishaps has trouble at home when Ziva’s past comes to call. She witnesses an assassination by her former Mossad partner, and convinced her father ordered the hit, seeks refuge at the Israeli Embassy, only to find she is wanted by the FBI. Time for the gang to help out.
Pulling Special BBC3, 10.35pm After two successful series here comes the finale in a one-off special, and the hilarious barbs keep on coming. The scene is set with Louise moving in with the love of her life, Donna hooking up with a rich man with no personality and, most surprisingly, Karen’s devoted to a chauvinist. And then stuff starts.

saturday 23 Primeval ITV1, 7.20pm There’s a big chunk of new team turned up in this series and it’s taken a while to get used to them. The dinosaurs didn’t really know the old team that well so they’re still trying to kill them willy nilly, just like the herd of embolotherium – rhino-like beasts – about to stampede. Can they be stopped? Hope so.
Hitler: The Rise Of Evil Channel 4, 9pm Starring Robert Carlyle as the moustachioed one, this tells the story of the future dictator’s rise up through the ranks of the Nazi party. Against a backdrop of German humiliation post World War I, this tries to explain just how one of the most devastating influences of the twentieth century came to pass.
Dark Angel E4, 10.55am More fantastic escapist fodder for that time when the duvet is your friend on a Saturday morning. In the show that first brought Jessica Alba to light as the genetically enhanced diamond in the rough Max, it won’t hurt your brain to see her beat up the baddies, save the goodies and fail to get her guy.
