CITY SPEAK 05
Seann ere’s a riddle. You wake up earlier than is comfortable in a claustrophobic tent. Your cold hair is inexplicably wet. Your clothes, which you slept in, are damp from yesterday’s spiteful rain. Your early-morning, hungover brain is charging up, searching in the fog of your memory for reasons as to why you are here and not in your bed. Within seconds, you remember everything. Commiserations: you are now awake. Time for a walk. You struggle out of your tent. You trudge along the mud, using the carpet of litter as stepping stones. A badly edited montage of last night’s beer-driven stupidity flickers in your brain. Recalling everything, you say to yourself, with almost no conviction: “My drunk self is not the real me.” You see the stand where a man sold you ‘legal highs,‘ which appealed so much to your drunk self (not the real you). Back to the tent and your friends are awake. They feel the same. It’s time to start drinking again; there is no other way to enjoy this.
H
Will et me get this,” says L, producing his gold card and setting it atop the bill at the conclusion of our second date. “No, no, no,” I insist, pulling out my own debit card and gently nudging his off the saucer. My card is not gold like L’s. My card is grey and covered in inky fingerprints. If L were to take a closer look, he would also see the issue number is 8, because I can’t be trusted to have nice things and not lose them. L looks at my card, then up at me. A waiter hovers by his elbow. The restaurant is closing. “Honestly, I’m happy to get it,” he says again, gesturing for the card machine. “We’re splitting it,“ I say firmly to the waiter, who nods discreetly. This is clearly a dance he’s familiar with. Ever since the sexual revolution, the seemingly simple task of paying for dinner has been fraught with peril. If a man insists on paying, he’s a misogynist. If he lets his date pay, he’s cheap. You’d think it’d be simpler when it’s two men, but, if anything, it’s worse. There are no gender lines to hide behind. Pure and simple, it’s a struggle for power. We go to a bar for a nightcap. The walls are covered with boxing memorabilia. As
Seann Walsh has a puzzling riddle to solve
“I had a panic attack inside my tent because the zip became stuck”
Now, the riddle: where are you? Well, you’re at a festival. But why are you at a festival? These were my experiences of last weekend, when I attended one. Here’s what happens. You walk around until you’re hungry. At great financial expense, you buy food. You fancy a drink. At great financial expense, you buy beer. You need the toilet. At great psychological expense, you go to the toilet. You watch some band for a bit. You continue this cycle until you’re drunk enough to sleep anywhere, even a tent. And you have to spend £50 on alcohol before you’re drunk enough not to care how much you’re spending on alcohol. For this dubious privilege, people concede to camp. I lack the character for camping. I had a panic attack inside my tent because the zip became stuck. This is unspeakably feeble, I confess, but I’m not ashamed. It was a self-pitching tent. I left it behind because I couldn’t work out how to pack it up. In the end, it was easy to justify leaving it behind: for the rest of my life I will never again have cause to own a tent.
Will Harris has a power struggle to contend with
“L
“Since the sexual revolution, the simple task of paying for dinner is fraught with peril”
the barman rings through our round, L and I both automatically start digging in our pockets. Ding ding, round two. “Seriously, I’ve got this one.” “No, honestly, it’s fine.” When the barman turns round, it’s to find two gay men aggressively thrusting fistfuls of banknotes at him. This is probably not an everyday occurrence when you work in a bar covered in boxing memorabilia. By the look on his face, he thinks we’re after a lap dance. “Why won’t you let me pay for anything?” asks L, once we’re ensconced in our booth. “Because I suffer from an overwhelming need to be in control of every situation I find myself in,” I say. “Money, as a symbol of power, affords me that control. I find the fact you earn more than me intensely threatening, and this is my way of letting you know that you’re not holding all the cards, gold or otherwise, not now, not ever.” Obviously I say this in my head. I’m not sure pointing out in specific detail how damaged I am is such a great strategy if I want a third date. Besides, I need to keep L on side; he’s going to have to lend me my bus fare home. www.twitter.com/william_tells

Veritably vegan Heather Mills was proud to announce the official opening of VBites, her innovative new vegan community café at Hove Lagoon in East Sussex. Heather invited everyone along to VBites on Saturday 4 July to celebrate the launch of this exciting new venue for Sussex and also held a VIP party on Thursday 9 July. A special opening ceremony took place with words from Heather Mills. Heather said of her new venture: “My vision was to create a place for all the community to enjoy. I am very excited about the future and look forward to inviting everybody to Hove Lagoon this summer.“ The new facilities suit everyone from young to mature, families on a day out, to those popping in for a coffee and cake or an evening of relaxation. There really is so much on offer at VBites I would highly recommend a visit.

DEFINITELY DANI 07
Dani ho is it that decides how we are supposed to prepare our food? We are told not to eat too much salt but the likes of Gordon Ramsay seem to add salt to everything. If you watch an episode of MasterChef most of the contestants will continually be told they haven’t seasoned their food enough. If you go to a restaurant that thinks it is posher than some others your omelette or scrambled eggs will appear on your plate barely cooked in my opinion. Who is it that decides that eggs should be sloppy? Does everyone in the world apart from me prefer to eat their eggs at the consistency of snot? Meat has to be barely touched by the frying pan in order to meet some of the standards of the world of telly cooking. What is the difference between a barely cooked steak and a meal of raw meat? If you watched any of Hell’s Kitchen this year you would have witnessed more than one
W
Dani grabs the bull by its horns and says it’s high time we make our own food choices
person complaining about the meat being too undercooked for them. You would have also witnessed Marco Pierre White saying tough s**t, that’s how meat is supposed to be cooked. Who decided that? It seems the people who are making the rules are the only ones who like eating it that way. Most of the people I know would rather eat an omelette with a fork rather than need a soup spoon. Everyone has their own personal preference as to how they like certain things to be cooked but your option to decide is taken away from you
“Meat has to be barely touched by the frying pan to meet the standards of telly cooking”
Load of bull Five runners were gored and a further six suffered injuries after the San Fermin Festival in Spain during the Running of the Bulls. It might come across as mean but I really don’t feel sorry for those people. I can’t: the bull doesn’t know any better but the people should. I have the same opinion when it comes to bull fighting – I would never watch it, but if it ever appears on TV I root for the bull. I think it is cruel and stupid. There must be other ways to get an adrenaline rush…
depending on whether you go to a regular café or somewhere more up market. Maybe it‘s just me who likes their eggs cooked to a more solid consistency, maybe it’s just me who will only add the seasonings I like to eat as opposed to what a top chef says should be included. Cooking has now morphed from being something your mum did into something you should be able to do – along with throwing and catching half the ingredients before they go in the pot and peppering your cooking with words like ‘pukka’. In most things people are encouraged to have a personal preference but this is not the case with food. Depending on what you watch and where you eat you are encouraged to like it or lump it. A friend of mine was cooking me dinner recently. She had a look in Marks and Sparks and saw their two for £10 offer. It seemed like a good idea until she realised there was only one option for vegetarians. There were plenty of fish options though – I suppose the people of Marks and Sparks think vegetarians all eat fish. They don’t. Or at least I don’t, I am one of those pesky vegetarians that doesn’t eat any meat. I like what I like; the same can be said for nearly everyone. But I will not force myself to like something because some person somewhere says it is good.

Local Celebrity – An Ahasueruslike figure, doomed to roam the earth, going from opening party to opening party, until everyone forgets what he/she is famous for in the first place. Musician – Unemployed person. Physical Theatre – New and challenging form of drama utterly unchanged since 1962. Queer – Odd, curious, rum, perplexing. No other meaning. Tai Chi – Masturbation. Whitehawk – a mysterious ghostly fowl that has the power to beat you up and relieve you of your wallet. Often appears hooded. Writer – Unemployed person.

• Dr. Ruth • Beer and sex and chips and gravy • Being unsure as to the precise distinction between a half and a full Nelson • Barley Cup • The near-crushing disappointment experienced on tasting one’s first mouthful of Walls’ Viennetta

POPULAR CULTURE PRIMER No. 23: DIFF’RENT STROKES Diff’rent Strokes ran on American television between 1978 and 1986. The best-known character was Gary Coleman as cute tyke, Arnold, with his famous catchphrase: “Enough of this! I’m joining the Nation of Islam.” Some claim there was a ‘Curse of Diff’rent Strokes,’ afflicting those who worked on it – Conrad Bain never made another feature film after leaving the show and in 1989 Todd “Willis“ Bridges slipped in a supermarket and bruised his coccyx.

ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20)
CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22)
LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)
CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19).
Aries needs plenty of exercise. Your ideal astral sport is shinty. Never heard of it? Well look it up, it’s a sort of Scots hockey, fast and exciting – perfect for fast and exciting aries.
Cancerians must play crab football. I played at astral infant school when it was too wet to play outside. I have the scars from slipping on dropped mashed potato on the canteen floor.
Librans are the astral sports arena’s natural gymnasts and most at home on a bar of any kind, parallel or not. Balance is of course the key and balance is second nature to Libra.
Capricorns must take up water polo. Water polo is ideal for obstinate water lovers and as water goats this will suit. Beware of scratching, gouging and bending over in the showers after.
TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)
LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)
Taureans ideal sport is of course not bullfighting but Bullseye. Yes, pretty sedentary stuff but how can you not love Jim Bowen who may well be available as a trainer.
Leos will of course be most at home on the rugby pitch, that‘s the women. Leo men are ideally suited to the genteel sport of croquet, ah, the tap of mallet on wood and crash of another Pimms jug.
Scorpios play poker. Hard nosed, no holds barred, barrel of a smoking gun, real tough stuff. There is of course no real health advantage but you will lose pounds sweating with worry.
Aquarians might gain some pleasure from an egg and spoon race or even a sack race, but you are more likely to find them sporting themselves behind the cricket pavilion than on the field.
GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21)
VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)
PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)
Geminis quite clearly should take up mixed doubles – that’s tennis for those of you smirking at the back, see me after class you wicked wicked readers, you just can’t be trusted.
Virgos are urged to sign up immediately for synchronised swimming which has all of the style and grace of classical ballet – but wet. Well I say style and grace – but I lied.
Sagis should stay at home, even watching sport can be dangerous for a Sagi, the excitement being far too much and the ensuing laundry bills too high, in every sense.
Angling is the answer for Pisces but it’s the same old question, do you throw it back or do you take it home and cook it for tea? Throw it back and stop off at Bardsley’s I say.

Jo is on a mission to find George Clooney and meets plenty of famous faces along the way
Chasing Clooney I spent last week holidaying in Northern Italy alongside my hubby who was writing a travel piece for a national newspaper. I knew we would be staying in a few top hotels, but the trip turned into more of a celeb spotting mission – I had one mission however – to find George Clooney. I knew that the actor owned a villa near to where we were staying but didn’t realise quite how close it would be. First stop was the Four Seasons in central Milan – the hotel is literally next door to Donatella Versace’s design studio and a two minute walk from Spiga, which is the street that has every single designer shop you can imagine – from Gucci to Valentino. I had heard that Mr Clooney has stayed in the hotel before, so it would be a good place to spot him.
No sign there but I did get to sample the awardwinning Milanese Risotto by the head chef. Next we took a train from Milan Central Station to Lake Como, and headed for a little hamlet overlooking the lake called Cernobbio – this is where some scenes from George’s film Oceans 12 were filmed. We stayed at the Villa D’Este, which has recently been voted by Forbes magazine as the best hotel in the world – quite something to live up to! I asked around and found that George was at home at his villa, which was literally around the corner from Villa D’Este. Even more exciting was the fact that he had had lunch at the hotel just the week before with fellow actor Robert De Niro. It wasn’t long before we spotted a celeb staying at the hotel – legendary Irish singer Van Morrison. Van the Man, as we called him, was holidaying with his wife and two young children and my son and I splashed away with them all in the kiddie pool – quite surreal! What was more gutting is that we had just missed Denzel Washington and his family who had just left! On leaving the tranquil lakeside views of Villa D’Este by boat we passed right alongside the Clooney villa and noted that his boat was there and figured that there was still a chance to spot the elusive actor. Our next stop was the centre of the Lake and a place called Bellagio, sometimes called the ‘Pearl of the Lake.‘ We spent the next few days lounging at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, with a view to die for. The place was crawling with Americans so I knew that this would be a good place. It wasn’t long before Nip/Tuck star Julian McMahon came out of the woodwork – Lisa in the office has been beside herself ever since. No Clooney this time but a good time trying!
Holly’s early start TV presenter Holly Willoughby announced last week that she will officially take over as co-presenter on ITV1’s This Morning. Holly, who has recently given birth to Harry, will replace Fern Britton who bowed out last week. No stranger to partnering up with Phillip Schofield, Holly will start her new role in September. Holly is also a regular customer of Lanes based jeweller Jeremy Hoye, who sent Holly a gift of a beautiful necklace and earring set from his brand new Naturist Collection – see pic.

Phil Mills reports on the busy career of a retiring detective, and the City in Bloom award goes to…
Brighton and Hove City Council leader Mary Mears pays tribute to the late Henry Allingham I was deeply saddened last weekend to hear of the death of Henry Allingham, a truly legendary figure in the history of this country and a man who contributed so much to the defence of our freedom. Back in April we were able to offer Henry a small token of our gratitude by giving him his own freedom – Freedom of the City of Brighton and Hove – at a special Council ceremony. This was a truly memorable occasion for me and it was genuinely awe-inspiring to be in the presence of a man who fought for his country in both world wars. Age never wearied Henry’s spirit or sense of duty and he went on serving his country to the end. Perhaps his greatest legacy was the way he bridged the generation gap and offered his wisdom and experience to the city’s children. This teaching will live on for a lifetime and we couldn’t possibly have hoped for a better advocate than Henry. This is no time for party politics but I hope very much

he most senior police detective in Sussex, a man who has been involved in no fewer than 50 murder inquiries, is bowing out after 31 years service. The 52-year-old joined the force at the age of 21 after representing Sussex at cricket and football and playing for Hastings United. He spent most of his years in East Sussex and in 1990, as Detective Inspector in Eastbourne, he led his first murder inquiry which ended with the conviction of the killer of pub doorman Tony Rogers. He was deputy senior investigating officer in the Billie-Jo Jenkins murder case in Hastings, a case which, he admits, left him disappointed: “I regret to this day there has been no successful outcome to this case.” Chief Supt Moore saw the creation of the Major Crime Branch, a dedicated team to investigate murders, and in 2002 was promoted to Detective Superintendent. He later took charge of operations for East Downs and then became Chief Supt and commander of Brighton and Hove city police, “one of the happiest and most satisfying periods of my career.” The jewel in his crown came in 2007 when he became head of Sussex CID, the climax to a “fantastic career.” After serving six chief constables, Chief Supt Moore will return to the force later this year as a civilian crime reviewer. He’s retiring as an officer in September and is going with a message to the public: Media reports, he said “can create fear in those trying to carry out a very difficult job which can then mean they feel unable to take the necessary risks that go with catching criminals and making streets safer. “My plea to the public is this – please do not always judge things on how they are reported or what appears to be the case in the early stages – behind it all there may be an officer or member of staff trying to do the right thing to make things better.”
Best in bloom
Picture by Hannah Brackenbury
Green fingered Guiseppe Todaro swept the board in this year’s City in Bloom Coronation allotment contest, winning prizes for the best plot for the second year running. The Coronation Bowl competition attracts entries from allotment holders from all over the city but it was Guiseppe’s fruit and veg patch in Moulsecoomb that captured the judges’ eyes. Councillor Geoffrey Theobald said: “The produce in his allotment has to be seen to be believed.”
“It was awe-inspiring to be in the presence of Henry Allingham”
that the government feels able to offer some kind of national posthumous honour to Henry for the immense sacrifices he made for us. At a time when, tragically, British troops are losing their lives on an almost daily basis in Afghanistan to protect our freedoms from a modern day threat, Henry’s death is particularly poignant. It was my privilege to meet him and our privilege that he chose Brighton and Hove as his final home.

ART 15
Masterpiece Immerse yourself in local art this summer righton is a city renowned for its fabulous creative energy. It seems every second person you talk to turns out to be an artist of some description; our buildings are daubed with colourful murals and our shops are crammed with all imaginable arts and crafts from both local artists and those from further afield. So it’s little wonder that we have a thriving arts scene to be proud of, and exciting to see that new galleries such as Boxbird and The Gallery are flourishing despite the current climate. Boxbird was established in early 2008 by print enthusiast Alice Teague and illustrator Graham Carter. Run from their own printing studio in Brighton, Boxbird now holds regular shows and will be touring the UK art fairs throughout 2009. With fresh new life having been breathed into it, Brighton Marina is currently undergoing bit of a renaissance. The Mermaid Market, which sets up every weekend has been a big hit with shoppers, and an eclectic mix of new shops have recently been opening up in the contemporary units, including The Gallery. Now in its fifth year, Brighton Art Fair has rocketed from strength to strength since its inception in 2004, firmly establishing itself as a major annual event in the arts calendar of the South East. It is the largest art exhibition on the South Coast and brings together about 130 of the most talented national painters, printmakers, photographers and sculptors along with artist groups and Sussex-based galleries. Most Brighton galleries cater to a range of budgets and some even operate payment in instalment systems, making the ownership of an original piece of art a more democratic experience. So, now you know, there’s absolutely no excuse not to get out there and immerse yourself in a bit of Brighton’s visual culture.

Discover the unique exhibition Micromacro by Sam Chivers at Boxbird Gallery Despite the international critical acclaim that surrounds Sam Chivers, he is still one of the UK’s best-kept secrets. This week, he launches his first Brighton solo show Micromacro at Hove’s recently established Boxbird Gallery. This unique exhibition will continue his exploration of natural forms and a misspent youth in comic book stores with exceptionally executed screen prints and original drawings. The centrepiece of Micromacro will be an installation resulting in five years of work recording the daily development of the New England Quarter of Brighton. The resulting animation will be projected from a handmade giant robots head, exploring themes of metamorphosis and stasis. Micromacro at Boxbird Gallery, 14 St John’s Road, Hove. www.boxbird.co.uk 01273 734295. 29 July–23 August, Wednesday – Sunday 11am–5pm
The Gallery is the vibrant new addition to the popular Brighton Marina village A new and exciting showcase for local artists and photographers has opened up in the heart of Brighton Marina. The Gallery houses an extensive collection of exhibits and offers a unique opportunity to view and purchase some locally inspired limited edition imagery, a must see for all Brightonians and visitors alike. Owner Julie Dennison wanted to inject some of Brighton’s art culture into Brighton Marina and has successfully transformed the contemporary space into a vibrant exhibition of affordable art. Located on the ground floor next to Calvin Klein, The Gallery is open at weekends 11am–5pm. For more information email Julie: marinagallery@btinternet.com

16 HEALTH & BEAUTY
Ladies day It’s time to put on your best outfit for a day out at Brighton Racecourse This year’s Ladies Day will hopefully be a hot one. Stay protected with SPF applied throughout the day, drink plenty of water between the champagne and carrying a chic umbrella will protect you in both the heat and the rain. Here are some of the styles we’re loving that may put in an appearance in a day at the races… Accessorize – double hibiscus flower on band, £32: Ladies Day is all about statement hats, but if the weather’s going to be gorgeous, you want to catch some of the rays. Make a bold statement with this bright fascinator instead. Find a dress to match or opt for classic black or white and let your accessories do the talking. Jane Norman neon flower bandeau dress, £38: Great value and a pretty floral design that has been seen in all the designers’ spring/summer collections. The cut is slimming, and the style can be dressed up with flashy heels and a hat or played down with cute flats and a cropped cardi. Monsoon purple carmel dress, £150: Floaty, colourful and fun. This gorgeous dress has a ruffled skirt to give a flirty edge to an otherwise classic style. It will be worth every penny as it makes the perfect dinner dress/wedding reception outfit too. Debenhams BDL by Ben de Lisi velvet bow dot fascinator, £25: Blondes and redheads will look striking in this little black number from Debenhams’ designer range. On a handy slim head band, this will suit most hair styles/lengths and you won’t have to constantly worry about it slipping out. Republic crafted strapless tulip dress, £19.99: If florals aren’t for you, a plain dress in a light summery shade will still impress at the races. This yellow dress is simple and chic, again dress up or down with a few wisely chosen accessories. French Connection keepers dress, £85: A gorgeous striking design without being over the top. Team with heels to elongate your legs and give extra wow factor.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK 17
Food & drink Andrew Kay finds plenty to keep him happy at Giraffe andrew@thelatest.co.uk
Neck it t the ripe old age of 53 I have more than enough experience in the uncle/god father/weird-friend-ofparents-who-behaves-likean-uncle stakes. In fact as you read this I will be recovering from two weeks playing the latter role in Greece. I grew up surrounded by aunts and uncles who were in fact just my parents mates. They were great, not quite Auntie Betty standard, but pretty damned good. The tradition continues too. When asked to review Giraffe I took a look and decided that it was one to share with kids, and although Mr R is young, he ain’t that young. The solution was simple: call in Ms McT and the terrible twins. They’re not really terrible but they are a pair of little minxes and the best fun. We arrived at 6.30pm, a post school netball match and the required time to ‘get ready’ dictated that. I was by this point ready for a drink and whilst I waited I had a pretty impressive marguerita. When the girls arrived, looking lovely, they joined in with bottles of Coke. Glass bottled Coke is the king of colas and they heartily agreed. The menu at Giraffe is certainly family friendly but it was far more adventurous than I had expected and we spent some time chatting to our waiter, who the girls took an immediate shine to. I could hardly blame them. We started with a selection of dishes. The girls shared some onion rings and some spicy Japanese prawns in breadcrumbs. I asked for the chicken wings but sadly they were all out, so I had prawns too. I enjoyed them, the fluffy oriental breadcrumbs are a lighter crunch than British ones and the most notable thing was the clean taste – clearly well looked after frying equipment. The onion rings were popular too and the fact that food arrived in stages thus requiring frequent visits from our waiter kept everyone happy. Nat moved on to ribs, Mum having declared that the half rack would be an appropriate portion. It would have been appropriate for me too, very generous, and a sneaky stolen chip gave me a chance
A
“Giraffe’s real talent is the talent to make you feel comfortable and valued”
to try the excellent barbecue sauce. She made a very valiant attack on it too and did very well. Becky is a sort of vegetarian – sort of. She decided to have a portion of fries and a caesar salad and was more than happy with her choice too. By this point I had moved on to a beer, icy cold and delicious and Ms McT had a pot of fresh mint tea. Her main course of Thai chicken green curry was big and full of flavour with plenty of griddled breast meat in a rich sauce. I took the butch route and had the steak, a well trimmed and perfectly cooked rare lump of tasty beef with a small dish of pepper sauce served on the side (hoorah). It certainly hit the right spot and kept me quiet, a relief for the girls from my teasing about their busking exploits in the park. Main courses were so substantial that we struggled over the pudding menu. The girls had dismissed, to my delight, any notion of a children’s menu, declaring the idea far too babyish. In the end they settled on tubs of vanilla ice cream whilst I had a selection of sorbet, all good but the apple one very good indeed. The kids loved Giraffe, and so did I. Any pre-conception that I had about it being a ‘family’ restaurant were rapidly dispelled inside where the décor is far more grown up than the branding had led me to expect. Giraffe is sensible priced, tasty and good fun. It’s nice to be this relaxed about eating out and for all my love of fine dining I can be very happy eating simple fare in a friendly situation. Giraffe’s food does the trick but its real talent is the talent to make you feel comfortable and valued. We all liked that. Giraffe, 15 North Road, Brighton, BN1 1YA, 01273 688 885 www.giraffe.net

of wisdom here are so many warnings in nature visible all around us, but many of us live our lives distanced from her. One glaring warning becomes more noticeable each year. Where have all the bumblebees gone? It is terribly sad that an insect so common in the blue-sky summertime gardens of our youth now barely shows up at all – largely caused by the loss of wild habitats, intensive farming and overuse of pesticides and herbicides. When I do see one it acts as a reminder as to how noticeable their decline has been. This may be a relief to those who have a tendency to run, jump, flap and scream if our fuzzy little bumble friend hovers anywhere near. Zig-zagging terror-dashes culminating in dramatic leaps into the water to escape the terrifying one-inch buzzing monster featured in many of our childhood’s. This visual comedy could become a misty-eyed memory of summers gone by if we are not careful! There is a far more serious consequence of their decline. Bees are a keystone species for conservation playing a critical role pollinating our plants, helping them to reproduce. Without bees our crops and plants, flowers

Heather Mills says it’s time to regenerate wild areas and save the declining number of bees
“Bees are a keystone species for conservation, playing a critical role pollinating our plants”
and fruits would decline having a devastating impact on the whole ecosystem. Albert Einstein was well aware of this, he said: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have
four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.“ Three species of bumblebee are already extinct. UK honeybee numbers have dropped by as much as 80 per cent, while bumblebees across the country have declined by 60 per cent since 1970. It is easy to forget the UK was a vast forested land. It wasn’t until the mid 1800s that deforestation began in the UK and Europe at an unprecedented rate. It now seems that the pastureland that takes up much of our countryside is our natural environment but it is not. A plant-based diet would require less than a quarter of the present agricultural land. Britain’s wild areas could be regenerated, more trees, wildflowers and native shrubbery grown, habitats for countless animals encouraged, allowing so many of the UK’s birds and animals and insects, so long in steep decline, to grow in numbers. A return to a UK filled with vibrant and varied wildlife is much more interesting and healthy for our environment than field after field of pastureland.

WAVE FASHION 23
Green threads As the mainstream begins to embrace ethical fashion, Pearl Bates looks at ways to keep abreast of the trend t’s no longer surprising news to hear that in the beguiling yet fickle world of fashion, ethics and aesthetics are merging. Even if green-as-grass politics may not exactly be close to the hearts of the industries’ Svengalis, they are wily enough to know that ethical, environmentally responsible fashion is what we want. It’s a welcome trend, which pushes back against ‘fast fashion,‘ the phenomenon of clothing being made cheaply and sold in bulk. While the temptation to snap up something cute for just a few pennies is hard to resist, we all know the true costs behind such bad habits. Fashion is not something you can expect to erase from our culture. Adorning the human body and creating an expression of who we are, which signals to others our social standing and 'tribal' affiliations, is something that goes back to our caveman days. No one expects even the most vigilant eco-warrior to be happy with strapping on a hemp sack – and fortunately, you won’t have to. Even some of our most familiar high street names are now offering fantastic, stylish, ethical clothes. Oasis, Tesco and Marks & Spencer all now stock organic and fairtrade collections. High street retailer Monsoon funds a project in Kabul, Afghanistan to help preserve traditional embroidery skills, and Topshop now stocks a variety of ethically conscious labels including Hug and People Tree. When fashion shopping, there are a few rules of thumb to bear in mind that will help you to be sure your clothes have been made with happy vibes. Firstly, check the label to see where the garment was produced. Anything made in places such as Europe, Canada or the US are far less likely to have been produced under sweatshop conditions. Look out for shops and labels that specialise in ethically-made clothing. This can mean that the company upholds some sort of social ethic such as sweatshop free, fairtrade, made in the UK – or perhaps they specialise in using particularly environmentallyfriendly products or manufacturing methods. In addition, many ecochic companies have been set up online. Check out ethicsgirls.co.uk and ecobtq.com for starters. You may find that buying ethically made clothing can be expensive. If you are on a tight budget, consider buying the bulk of your wardrobe from charity shops, and use the money saved to treat yourself to a few key pieces from an ethical brand. Brighton is blessed with a wonderful assortment of charity shops selling well-selected, good quality and kooky clothes, all sold at a fraction of their original cost. Take a look at sites such as ciel.ltd.uk, greengirlsglobal.com or ecofashionworld.com to familiarise yourself with some of the local eco-fashion movers and shakers and to keep yourself up to date with all the latest ethical fashion news. The hope is that one day, we’ll wake up to find a world where ethically and environmentally-produced clothes are simply a global reality. Until then, with a discerning attitude, it’s perfectly possible to have your fashion cake and eat it. www.ciel.ltd.uk, local stockist: Igigi, Western Road, Hove.

offer him a place to sleep. He asked for his help. He told Georges of the homeless mothers who came to him for help, and how he could not cope with the problem on his own. Could Georges join him in his mission to help them? Georges became the first Emmaus Companion, living with the Abbé Pierre and helping him to build temporary homes for those in need. Thus, the Emmaus movement was started. It has since spread around the world with over 400 Communities in 40 countries. What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve faced? One of the ongoing challenges we face is getting the message out that we need good quality donations which are fit for sale. Donations that are broken, unsafe, furniture without fire labels or in a very poor state cannot be sold and we then have to pick up the cost of disposing of them. Last year, we spent well in excess of £10,000 doing this.
Wave talks to businesses with planetchanging ideas. This month: Joel Lewis from the homelessness charity Emmaus What was the inspiration behind setting up the company? The first Emmaus Community was founded in Paris in 1949 by Father Henri-Antoine Groues, better known as the Abbé Pierre, a Catholic priest, MP and former member of the French Resistance during the Second World War. One night, a man called Georges was brought to the Abbé Pierre. Homeless and despairing, Georges had tried to commit suicide. The Abbé Pierre did not just

YOUR WEEKLY GUIDE TO WHAT’S ON 28 JULY – 3 AUG
26 Stage Fingers crossed for sunshine for these open-air performances
Under review Here’s our roundup of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk
27 Film
The Grapes of Wrath Taking Steinbeck’s classic novel and staging it might seem a daunting concept, and in many ways it is. The production was quite brilliantly staged, superb set, costumes and stunning effects carried the weighty story well. The darkness of the tale worked well too, although a barber shop quartet jarred in act one. Equally the dance scene missed the opportunity to heighten the plight of the ‘Oakies’. Much as I loved the production, I had some misgivings. The characteristic ensemble playing of a Chichester production on this occasion did not allow for heroic performances, maybe intentionally. It was also, predictably, very wordy and would not have suffered from a few judicious cuts. All the same, an excellent evening of real theatre.
Mike Wozniak in Clown Shoes A decidedly scientifically-themed show, Mike Wozniak in Clown Shoes was one of mixed quality. His sardonic commentary on a certain “scientific” book was hilarious, as was his own satirical screenplay which poked fun at the Hollywood blockbuster with ease. Impressions of Galileo, Schrödinger and Archimedes however were less of a hit, and fell a bit short. Successfully reverting to amusing trivia to get us back on the laughing track, Wozniak kept the crowd entertained throughout. His quips were funny, but on the whole his delivery was somewhat forced and felt over-rehearsed. Promising content which could do with some polishing up, but nevertheless an enjoyable show.

event had a lot to live up to. Despite the atmosphere-killing move indoors, a varied line-up deftly overcame the odds for a patchy, though ultimately triumphant show. Perhaps predictably, guitar-wielding D’n’B adventurer Squarepusher and Fever Ray, the terrifyingly tribal side project of The Knife’s Karin, stole the show as brilliantly maverick (and opinion-splitting) headliners. Still, the lesser-known Brighton talents were the real winners. Singer-songwriter ELIZABETH’s Cocteau Twins ethereality meets Bjork bombast immediately bewitched us; the much-hyped Mirrors’ image was slightly too rehearsed, but who could resist the pure eighties popnoir of recent single ‘Look At Me’?

Hot review of the week Pippa Evans – Edinburgh preview Character comedy can be so hit and miss, so it was a delight to find that not only were Pippa’s many characters solidly built, each with their own humour, but that there was a linear story holding the night together and leaving us with a beginning, a middle and a satisfactory end. With an impressive singing voice, and only a small amount of corpsing, we were treated to original music hall songs, bingo, a delightfully ribbing theatre questionnaire and a hungover headliner with aspirations of veganism. Fabulous and engaging, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
Zoe Lyons – Miss Machismo Zoe Lyons is a very funny lady, and the crowd was hers in her hometown. With material that kept her trademark questions to the order of the world, mugging at the audience and gesticulating wildly, she veered further into the sex and profanities of her subjects than her previous shows have gone. With the machismo upped, funnily enough it seems that the world annoys her more – from a destructive omnipotent pope to the mostly harmless Kerry Katona. This seems to be a new direction for Zoe‘s comedy, less endearing but more forthright and ballsy.

Open-air offerings Ralph Miller looks ahead to open-air performances of The Odd Couple and Shakespeare in the Orchard ne of the best things about summer is being able to sit out long into the evening, eating picnics. This week, you can take your picnic down to the beautiful scented garden in St Ann’s Well Garden in Hove and be treated to a production of The Odd Couple by Incisor Theatre Company. The small floral garden makes a great location for open air theatre and Incisor have a pedigree in this particular setting. Previously they have performed Twelfth Night, The Importance of Being Earnest, Blithe Spirit, Abigail’s Party and She Stoops To Conquer in the popular garden. On this occasion, they’re tackling a female version of the 1960s broadway show The Odd Couple. In this version, the obsessive and neurotic Florence moves in with slobbish and hard-drinking Olive in her messy New York apartment. Inevitably there are one or two character clashes between the two of them. The Odd Couple runs until Sunday 2 August. Elsewhere, the outdoor summer theatre season continues, with Yellowtale Theatre Company’s production of Shakespeare in the Orchard on Sunday 16 August, a performance of sonnets and scenes from the English language’s most famous writer’s plays. The Elizabethan playwright and poet’s works will be performed in the Orchard next to the 14th century Blackboys Inn near Uckfield.

What’s on this week
Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince (12A) Dir: David Yates Teenage hormones are bubbling over along with the potions of Hogwarts as our leading trio find they’ve got more to battle with than Voldemort’s evergrowing presence in the world, although that is troubling them too. With star turns from Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Connaught
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (15) Dir: Tony Scott Tony Scott has fun remaking a 70s classic heist movie. Denzel Washington is the much put upon subway dispatcher, thrown into confusion when a particularly unhinged John Travolta takes a packed commuter train to ransom, demanding one million dollars for each passenger held captive. Expect maniacal laughter and cool headlines being met by a trigger’s breadth. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon
Bruno (18) Dir: Larry Charles The latest from the stable of outrageous characters brought to us by Sacha Baron Cohen. Bruno is an outrageously dressed gay European fashionista (check out the velcro outfit). Already there have been more than a couple of column inches in the tabloids dedicated to the response to this controversial comedy. Mockumentary mayhem ensues and much egg covers many faces. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld
Coco Before Chanel (12A) Dir: Anne Fontaine Starring Amelie’s Audrey Tatout as the famous designer, this French language biography does exactly what is says it will – tells the tale of Coco Chanel before her designing high-life took off. With stunning visuals and the expected beautiful costumes and sets, this struggling stroppy French girl shows us how it’s done. Showing at Duke Of York’s

Joining this pretty crew are Rainn Wilson and Josh Duhamel. Cool. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (U) Dir: Carlos Saldanha The prehistoric animation returns. This time it’s more of a family affair, with Manny settling down, and Sid – not wanting to be left out – playing mum to three dinosaur eggs, which is fine, until their real mum shows up. Yikes! Catch it in 3D at certain screenings. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Connaught
Antichrist (18) Dir: Lars Von Trier Already gaining controversy for its disturbing content, this starts Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg as mourning parents, retreating to their remote cabin to try to mend and recover. Instead they find the wildness outside and inside taking over, pushing their fragile minds with lustful cruelty. Showing at Duke Of York’s Moon (15) Dir: Duncan Jones In an alternative reality Sam Rockwell is working on the moon solo, fulfilling his three year contract to harvest the Earth’s new clean fuel, with the closest thing to company being a computer named GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey). Near the end of his contract he has an accident with one of the harvesting machines, waking up in the infirmary to a story that turns his trust in the company and GERTY on its head. Winner of Best New British Feature at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Showing at Duke of York’s Antichrist

28 STAND-UP COMEDY | ART
A laughing matter Victoria Nangle catches up with funny lady and mistress of Old Rope – Tiffany Stevenson
iffany Stevenson is lovely, and my goodness does she work hard. Not only will she be doing her own show up at the Edinburgh Festival she’s also co-orgainser with Phil Nichol of the well respected and attended Old Rope nights, evenings of established comics trying out new material. So what’s her own show about? “I don’t want it to sound too naval-gazing but it’s the story of how I got into stand up and what my aspirations were. Oh, that does sound naval gazing, but I’ve got jokes in it so I’ll be fine!” Of course she will. And they’re good jokes too, which should be no surprise to anyone who’s seen her down at an Old Rope night. “It makes me write a hell of a lot because I do it once a week in London and once a month in Brighton,” Tiff concedes. With acts like Russell Howard, Richard Herring and Stephen Grant treading the boards on these nights it’s no surprise that the calibre of material has had to be high, raising high expectations for Tiffany’s own solo show. Has she any tips for aspiring comics? “Don’t do it! No, just joking. Um, I’d say be prepared for the long haul because it takes a hell of a lot longer than you think. You get to a place and you think ‘oh, this is going really well now,’ and then actually something changes, whether it’s your style or what you’re doing, and it takes a while to become the comedian that you really are. “Lots of people will give you advice but I guess at the end of the day the person you should listen to is yourself, trust your instincts, because I think that true individuality comes from sticking to what you know and like, and trying not to be swayed.” She should know, she plays alongside the best at a show where most are feeling the pressure more than ever. “I think jokes are sometimes like a safety net, really. Sometimes the jokes really aren’t as important as you going out there and having fun, and when you need them you grab them, that’s how I see it. For some comics, everything is very carefully edited, but it takes a while to think that you’re good enough to just get out there and see where it goes.” Tiffany Stevenson – Along Came A Spider, Komedia, Thursday 30 July, 8pm, £6. Old Rope at Komedia, Brighton, on the second Thursday of each month, 8pm, £6.50/8.50.

Sweet Sweet Lies Dominic Von Trapp tells Jeff Hemmings the truth, and nothing but the truth… eep in the underbelly of the Brighton music scene there are goodies to be had if one looks hard enough. One of those who have been scratching around are the wonderful Sweet Sweet Lies, a five-piece led by Dominic Von Trapp, a man who always looks dapper whether on or off stage. And they’ve got some special reasons to be happy with life at the moment. “We’ve been taken on by Supervision Management (a heavyweight management company based in London who count Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs amongst their clients) and Primary International (a heavyweight agency who include The Cure amongst their roster).” Impressive. How did this come about? “It’s thanks to Russell Keffert who produced our album at Brighton Electric. He took it on as a project and contacted people he knows in the industry and it went from there.” To celebrate they have decided to organise a last minute gig. “It’s going to be a celebration, a way of saying thanks to all the people who have supported us through the years,” says Dominic. So, tell me about your name. “It comes from something a girl said on TV once – ‘you boys and your sweet sweet lies’ – and it stuck.“ Yes, but your name? “I’m half German and I was bullied at school for that, and they called me Von Trapp (a reference to the Von Trapp family in The Sound of Music, who were, of course… Austrian). I’ve just turned it around!” Previously, Dominic was into electro, playing with a number of bands here in Brighton and London. “I got really into Tom Waits‘ first album and people like Nick Cave

– I wanted to do something rawer, with more passion and using acoustic instruments in a harsh way to get a nasty and violent sound.” Well, it seems like they have succeeded. Fusing folk, bluegrass and country with a punk attitude, and all dressed up for the kill, Sweet Sweet Lies have produced a magnificent sound all their own, fronted by the deep and rather exquisite voice of Dominic. “It’ll be a celebration alright – there’s going to be a bit of whisky and sushi to get the party started!” Latest Music Bar, Monday 3 August

Johanna Harman Joe Filisko + The Shoestrung + Will ‘Harmonica’ Wilde Great bill of harmonica infused rhythm ‘n’ blues with Chicagoan Joe Filisko heading the bill. Apparently he’s one of the best, up there with the likes of Howard Levy, Kim Wilson, Charlie Musselwhite and Gary Primich (no, me neither). Brighton’s garage and R’n’B merchants The Shoestrung are an excellent band and one to certainly watch out for while 20-year old Will ‘Harmonica’ Wilde is a promising talent in the world of harp. Friday 31 July, Brunswick Grrrl Friday with Al Start, Andrea Kenny & The Cavalry and Greymatter In celebration of LGBT Pride in Brighton and Hove and as a fundraiser for Brighton Women’s Centre, a spectacular night of awesome girl rock is in store. Andrea Kenny earned her stripes during the six years of being vocalist and guitarist in popular Bristol punk band Two Day Rule while for those who like a little more edge to their acoustic-driven tales of love and life there’s the excellent Greymatter. Your compere for the evening is the inimitable Nicky Mitchell plus there’s DJ support.

Roast
Cavesque but with a noticeably early 80s Joy Division/early goth sound. Saturday 1 August, Freebutt Johanna Harman Struggling to play catch-up as reputation of her astonishing vocal prowess continues to grow in the absence of any tangible product, a hook up with Grammy winning producer Pete Smith should help to rectify things, although this ‘retro-pop’ project may in itself bring unfair comparisons with Duffy and the like. Already struggling to throw off generally unhelpful comparisons with Joplin and Winehouse, Harman’s remarkable blues soaked voice is likely to cover most bases at her showcase gig at the Latest, not least because of the quality of her band which includes two members of the current Massive Attack line up. One to watch. This gig is already a sell out! Saturday 1 August, Latest Music Bar Hadouken! Incredibly noisy and energetic nurave outfit from a similar school as The Klaxons minus the hokem pokem sci-fi nonsense. Where once upon a time a new band came with clean suits and combed hair, now it’s de rigeur to come along with hoodie, cap, tight jeans and sailor shoes. Baa! Still, they have somewhat caught the imagination amongst the spotty and pre-mature with their computer game techno punk hybrid. But compared to The Prodigy’s Music For A Jilted Generation, Hadouken’s Music For An Accelerated Culture comes across as a little bit forced and not quite so interesting.

REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases rowded House’s Neil Finn has organised a second 7 Worlds Collide, seven years after the first one, which brought together musical talent from around the globe in aid of the hugely respected Medecins Sans Frontieres, which provides medical services in war-torn conflicts around the world. The new project, called The Sun Came Out, is a double album of original songs created and recorded in New Zealand by many of the original cast alongside some new additions. Oxfam is the beneficiary this time around, and among the artists appearing are Johnny Marr, Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway (both of Radiohead), KT Tunstall and Jeff Tweedy of Wilco. A musical as well as moral success. Folk veteran Martin Simpson is one of the most respected on the scene, and he’s becoming bigger and better with each release. True Stories is an evenly split work between traditional songs and tunes and his own compositions, featuring some of the finest players around including pedal steel player BJ Cole, Bellowhead frontman Jon Boden, Radiohead drummer Phil Selway and double bassist Danny Thompson. Northumbrian dance tunes, Anglo Scots ballads, old timey and blues songs, New Orleans jazz and R’n’B are styles he knows well, sometimes fusing them, sometimes playing it with a straight back. Wonderfully nostalgic, melancholic and moving, and thoroughly contemporary. Brighton’s Super U are back in action after an extended break with a splendid new single, ‘What News From Cornwall,‘ an uplifting twominute slice of folk-pop complete with recorder and a vaguely 60s feel. With a lovely new video in support plus a plethora of excellent collaborators that includes members of Quantic Soul Orchestra, The Leisure Society and Lightspeed Champion. Leeds‘ Wild Beasts made an impressive debut last year with Limbo, Panto, released on Domino Records. Their follow up Two Dancers is another uncategorisable work that combines strident with sometime theatrical vocals. There is always an experimentation at work with this band, that mostly succeeds although it can veer into the mundane. Inspired by the artier end of new wave as well as the epic U2 guitar sound of The Edge. Epic Melbourne four-piece The Temper Trap release their much anticipated debut Conditions. At times thrilling, at others melancholy, the band manage to just about stay the right side of over-wrought with a minimalist approach (if there is such as thing as minimalist epic). Often joyous, the feeling is more in keeping with their distant American cousins rather than the sometimes over done gloom and doom of their brothers and sisters back in the UK.

YOUR WEEKLY TV GUIDE Dani on TV
28 JULY – 3 AUGUST
She says it how she sees it
Monday Monday ITV1, Mondays, 9pm et in the offices of supermarket Butterworths, Monday Monday follows all the office staff as they relocate across the country and learn how to work with new colleagues. Including Alyson, who has been brought in to assess the company’s productivity and eventually decide how or – more importantly – who – to downsize. Most of us at some point or another have been subjected to working in an office environment and this sitcom takes all those little bits that you thought must only be happening to you and sticks them on the screen. I have to admit that the only reason I watched this was because it had Fay Ripley in it, and although I was expecting to be disappointed by it I wasn’t. There currently seems to be a lack of new series on TV and this is a welcome change to the depressive soaps that grace our TV schedules. The series also features Neil Stuke (Game On) as Max Chambers, the acting Head of Marketing who is covering the sick leave of Vivienne. Office parties, office romances, redundancies – it’s all in here along with a pinch of black comedy and a bottle of vodka. Monday nights are usually a point of recovery after your first day back at work after the weekend, and this could be the perfect medicine (especially if you work in an office). You might at least feel slightly grateful that you work where you do or you might miraculously be able to laugh at the situations you find yourself in as opposed to cry. Monday nights may just become funnier than they were before, hurrah!
S
Films on TV Top tips for your week of flicks TUESDAY 28 In Bruges ★★★★★
(2008, Sky Movies Indie,10pm. Dir Martin McDonagh) Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are a couple of hitmen, sent to Bruges because Colin did a bad thing. Their big bad boss, Ralph Fiennes, sent them there because he has fond memories of it but Colin’s bored, bored, bored. A comic crime thriller with independent sensibilities and cracking visuals.
FRIDAY 31
The Dark Crystal ★★★★★ (1982, TCM, 3pm. Dir Jim Henson and Frank Oz) In a world of fabulous creatures and quests, on a distant planet the gelfling Jen goes on an adventure involving prophecy, monsters, love and actual attempted genocide. He tries to find the last shard of the Dark Crystal and defeat the crone-like skeksis. An incredible puppet odyssey.
SATURDAY 1
Poseidon ★★★✩✩ (2006, BBC1, 10.40pm. Dir Wolfgang Petersen) Remake of the classic 70s disaster flick in which a boatful of New Year’s revellers find the world on its head when a tsunami flips them over. With the boat not being too happy about that, a group of the survivors – including Kurt Russell, Emmy Rossum, Richard Dreyfuss and Kevin Dillon – have an adventure trying to reach topside and to find any rescue.
SUNDAY 2 WEDNESDAY 29 V For Vendetta ★★★✩✩
(2005, BBC3, 9pm. Dir James McTeigue) Controversially adapted from the highly successful graphic novel, this alternative fascist universe sees the masked freedom fighter known only as ‘V’ rescue a girl and find himself an unlikely ally. Starring Hugo Weaving in the unseen title role, and Natalie Portman as the girl who learns subversion.
THURSDAY 30 Money Train ★★★✩✩
(1995, BBC1, 11.15pm. Dir Joseph Ruben) Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson star as a pair of foster brothers working as subway cops. Together they hatch a plot to rob the ‘money train’ that picks up all of the holdings from the stations at the end of the day, but they didn’t bank upon sultry undercover cop Jennifer Lopez to throw a spanner in the works. Action comedy type thing.
Treasure Planet ★★★✩✩ (2002, Five, 5.20pm. Dir Ron Clements and John Musker) Disney’s most recent take on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic children’s story of pirates, treasure and a boy named Jim Hawkins. Third Rock’s Joseph Gordon-Levitt voices Hawkins, joined by David Hyde Pierce, Emma Thompson, Martin Short and Patrick McGoohan taking a bow in his last role.
MONDAY 3
Single White Female ★★★★✩ (1992, Five, 10pm.Dir Barbet Schroederi) The movie that put a generation off flatmates. Bridget Fonda chucks out her philandering boyfriend and advertises for a roomie to keep her company and help pay the rent. Up pops lovely Jennifer Jason Leigh, who’s just super, spiffing, great – until the boyfriend comes back on the scene and a darker side emerges to the idolising flatmate. Victoria Nangle

tuesday 28 Desperate Romantics BBC2, 9pm Rock ‘n’ roll Pre-Raphaelites certainly know how to live fast and loose, and if you’re brooding Rosetti maintain a side-over of sultry into the bargain. He’s got his broody turned to 11 tonight when Millais chooses Rosetti’s muse, Lizzie Siddal, to sit for him. He’d better look after the lady. So she doesn’t get ill. No, really.
You Have Been Watching Channel 4, 10pm Yes, every week this is a highlight, but it really is that entertaining. More fool the BBC for letting Mr Brooker skedaddle from BBC3 to Ch4. Simply set up, it examines the week’s TV, with one show announced the previous week for us all to watch too. Add some comedians as contestants and you’re laughing. Lots.
Young, Dumb And Living Off Mum BBC3, 8pm This ongoing game tempting a group of 17- to 25-year-olds out of their mollycoddled lives and into a house share in London seems to be getting under way. With a round-the-world trip up for grabs they’ve got the incentive right, but will the real life challenges weed out the wimps?

wednesday 29 Ugly Betty Channel 4, 10pm Betty seems to have embraced her new life with Mode more than she imagined when she finds herself competing with Kimmie. Surely she’s above all that?

The Wire BBC2, 11.20pm This much-loved drama series chronicling the fictitious adventures of the Baltimore police takes an unexpected turn when Chris offers to train Michael up as a soldier in Marlo’s gang. But he’s such a shiny light in a pit of murk! Dukie tells the boys the missing are dead. Time to find ‘em.
Breaking The Mould: The Story Of Penicillin BBC4, 9pm Although Alexander Fleming is credited with discovering penicillin, this drama attempts to tell the whole story behind the revolutionary find.

thursday 30 How The Other Half Live Channel 4, 9pm From the people that brought us The Secret Millionaire comes this latest fly-on-the wall documentary in which each episode sees a wealthy family helping one living below the poverty line. This opener sees the posh lot help a mum-of-two living on a council estate. You can be sure this’ll provoke more tears.
The Mentalist Five, 9pm Isn’t it fun when TV writers knock the actors about with parodies of themselves, just to show who’s boss? Today the body language expert heads to Hollywood, where the egos are large, the acting bad and the drugs aplenty. There’s a dead producer and someone’s gotta pay. Maybe a pay rise for writers will help.
Without A Trace More4, 11pm The FBI Missing Persons Squad never seem to have a day off. No chance for ice cream and pats on the back here. All they get are higher stakes, like when a high-profile US Senator goes missing. With the media and the government on their backs Jack and the team are sweating bullets.

sunday 2 Antiques Roadshow BBC1, 7pm It’s not really Sunday without an indulgent sink into the sofa and a bit of an ‘ooh’ and an ‘ahh’ at the general public’s hidden treasures. A guilty pleasure it may be, but there’s no denying Antiques Roadshow is a much-loved weekend institution. Fiona Bruce and the gang are at the Dulwich Art Gallery in South London.
Man On Wire BBC2, 9pm Oscar-winning documentary about Philippe Petit, the man who walked a tightrope across New York’s Twin Towers in 1974. Interviewing him before and after the feat, along with his family, friends and co-conspirators in this gonzo circus act, this is an incredible tale of a sense of adventure overriding all else.
An Audience With Victoria Wood ITV3, 6.45pm Comedian and writer Victoria Wood does the ITV-adopt-a-liveperformance thang with an audience of her peers, including Julie Walters, Dame Judi Dench, Dawn French and Dave Allen. Treating us and them to some of her celebrated monologues and musical interludes. Lovely.
