THE WISH LIST

Your pick of what to see, do and buy

We love our Westcountry

Everyone’s coming down here on their holidays, and who can blame them? Yes, the roads are that much more busy, but the flipside is there is masses going on. From ukelele sessions at Sidmouth Folk Week (page 4) to literary walks around Lyme Regis (page 14), the South West is certainly the place to be right now.

I’m a big Tim Maddams fan - you’ll certainly have seen this chef-writer-broadcaster on the River Cottage TV shows. Today, Tim reveals his very favourite vegetable of all, and you might be surprised by his choice (page 30).

If there are two words that strike dread into any parent (or grandparent) they surely must be “junk modelling”. This week, our back page columnist Phil Goodwin has a hilarious encounter with a roll of wallpaper, a cardboard box shark and a very determined four-year-old (page 46).

Our cover girl this week is Emily Hamilton, the north Devon illustrator who is rapidly getting noticed nationally - her designs have been approved by Tesco Home and Marks & Spencer just recently. She invites us into her caravanturned-studio on page 10. I feel sure you’ll love her work just as much as we do.

Finally, if you are going away for your holidays, check out our travel fashion feature on page 24 before you start packing, or panicking.

HOW TO WEAR IT:

Shine Just how safe is it to wear SS14's metallic trend in dayto-day life? Kathryn Clarke-Mcleod shines a light urns out, a bit of shine isn’t just for Christmas, and I couldn’t be happier. 15 years ago, in my mid-teens, body glitter came into fashion. This was the best year of my life. I had body glitter that dispensed just like roll-on deodorant, and I saw any and every social occasion as an opportunity to get my sparkle on.

Needless to say, I was skipping in my stilettos when I saw the Gold Ruched Lame Mini dress come down the runway at Saint Laurent Spring 14 show. Once I had pulled myself together after my (cruel) boyfriend refused to lend me the cool $4,550 to buy one (it’s a fashion investment, my daughter’s daughter would be wearing it!) I took myself shopping.

I love the shamelessness of high beam glamour in full daylight.

EMILY HAMILTON

Making her mark How a young illustrator from north Devon is building a reputation with hand-drawn pictures that are rich in dreamy coastal charm

By Becky Sheaves

mily Hamilton lives with her husband Josh in the pretty surfing village of Croyde in North Devon, and the two of them have a beautiful three-yearold daughter called Sunny. A most appropriate name choice, it turns out.

“We’re hot weather people,” Emily admits. “I absolutely love the coast, the sea and the sunshine here. It’s a real inspiration for my work.”

Emily creates beautiful artworks, prints and greetings card designs at home, “in between looking after Sunny: I often get up very early!”

She is gradually gaining traction as an illustrator – she began by selling cards in local cafes, but

E

now Marks & Spencer have an option on her designs for a tea-towel range and more and more people are commissioning her work for one-off original drawings. “I’m just working on a special picture for someone’s one-year wedding anniversary,” she says when we meet.

The business happened, “almost by accident”, Emily explains. Her family is from North Devon and she went to school there. “I always loved drawing as a child and went on to do Art A level.

But then I didn’t go on to study it at university. I just couldn’t quite see how I would make a living from drawing,” she explains.

After a degree in English, she headed off to Australia. “I loved the heat, and the lifestyle,” she remembers. While she was there, a job turned into a major illustration project. “I was

working on editing a history book series with a professor, then one day he said they were having trouble sourcing illustrations. I had a go, and ended up doing literally hundreds of pictures for the whole series of books.”

The project even endured Emily’s return to the UK: “I was homesick, and missed my family,” she said. “But then I found that thanks to the internet I could live here and work in Australia.”

Having proved that she could, in fact, earn money from her drawings, she then decided to branch out into her own designs. “I started to sell cards in local shops. It has all built from there,” she says.

It’s small wonder Emily’s artworks are proving so popular. They have a charming dreamy quality that reflects the lifestyle of the surfing coast of 11

23/07/2014 11:18:05

North Devon. “If ever I am short of ideas, I just go for a walk along the coast or cycle down to the beach,” she says.

Now in her thirties, last year she married Josh, who runs his own hand-made furniture business, as well as a surf school and a surf map website. The two of them are clearly entrepreneurial, not to mention creative - in a laid-back way. “I guess we just like making things,” says Emily.

Emily works in a caravan in her garden and the couple had their wedding in the barn next door, for which Emily made the invitations herself, not to mention the cake and all the decorations. Josh, not to be outdone, made the tables and benches out of old scaffolding planks. “It was all very cheap and home-made, but really lovely,” says Emily.

And when the weather gets bad, this surf-loving couple tend to beat a retreat from the rainier months of the Westcountry year. “One winter we spent six months in Lanzarote, another winter we went to Morocco,” she says.

Emily’s prints start at just £8 for a 7x5 inch picture and she create an original artwork especially for you for around £30.

Some might say she doesn’t charge enough, given the quality of her work. “Oh I know, I know. But I just want people who want them to be able to afford them,” she says with a smile.

NATALIE MANIFOLD

Literary lady Tie on your bonnet and head for Lyme Regis with the Westcountry’s most dedicated follower of Jane Austen. Now all we need is a tall, dark, moody stranger to bump into unexpectedly...

By Catherine Barnes

his is a story that ought rightly to begin with a preface about a walk upon the Cobb at Lyme Regis.

Strictly chronologically, however, it starts when our heroine (let’s call her Natalie Manifold, for that indeed is her name) flings a few belongings in her car boot and follows her heart, from Derbyshire to West Dorset.

Natalie was inspired by romance to begin a new life. Not by the man of her dreams, more her love of romantic literature that has led her to create a most unusual - and entertaining - career.

The 29-year old is the creator – and leading lady – of Lyme Regis Walking Tours. Based around famous novels set in the historic Dorset town, you can join Natalie and follow in the footsteps of Anne Elliot – heroine of Jane Austen’s Persuasion – or Mary Anning, the real life Regency-era fossil-huntress who inspired Tracy Chevalier’s Remarkable Creatures.

“Every week is different,” says Natalie, who is in demand year-round and is rocking a neat beribboned bonnet and pale green frock when

T

we meet. “There are a lot of Jane Austen Societies across the world and in late summer they all come down in Regency costume, straight on from the Jane Austen festival in Bath - they’re quite obsessive and pretty hardcore. I’ve never had my facts corrected by them though. But have on other walks. I was told by one guy that a fossil I was holding wasn’t one at all – he was a creationist and didn’t believe in evolution.”

It’s too glorious a summer day to think about 200-million year old ichthyosaurs but what could be more delightful than retracing the steps of Persuasion’s Louisa Musgrove (albeit more carefully, as she takes a terrible tumble from the steps of the Cobb in Chapter 12).

Naturally, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to don period costume for a stroll with Natalie. By good fortune, the wardrobe mistress of Tavistock’s amateur dramatics society, Alison Wright is able to lend me the perfect frock and demure lace mittens, not to mention actually making me a beautifully lined bonnet.

Footwear is slightly more of a problem: Natalie sports ballet-slipper style Crocs – which are practical and (just about) look the part. Unfortunately the old tennis shoes I’m sporting somehow don’t

quite translate, so caution is thrown to the Cobb’s breezy ozone and bare feet it is. Daring, perhaps, but according to Alison our early-19th century forebears were not nearly so buttoned-up as their Victorian descendants and the occasional flash of ankle (or table leg) wasn’t too shocking.

It’s a wonderful feeling, taking the air and making polite conversation with Natalie, our long skirts flapping in all directions. This part of the Jurassic coast may be a zillion years old, but in an Empire line frock the year 1803 feels just the right time and place to be.

Natalie first became acquainted with Lyme Regis on annual summer breaks as a child, thanks to her mother’s obsession with John Fowles’ French Lieutenant’s Woman – a novel that has inspired another of her literary walks.

She’s also begun jaunts based on hit crime drama Broadchurch, but that’s a whole other story, and costume.

Studying English literature and language studies at Birmingham University led her to fall in love with Jane Austen and when friends began to decamp to London after graduation, she knew that city life wasn’t for her. Instead, she made a spur-of-the-moment decision to head west.

asion - Jane Austen’s Persu

» LymeHistorical_Walk.indd 15

22/07/2014 16:41:12

There was no plan, she confesses, but arriving with the first of her literary rambles plotted out in her head, she walked into a job at The Royal Lion Hotel on Broad Street and found a room to rent.

Within a year of her first walk, growing demand made Natalie confident enough to give up her hotel job, to focus on making a living her literary enterprise.

“I was lucky, I’d saved up, so that I didn’t have to worry if it wasn’t a success straight away and actually, it’s been very popular during the winter,” she says.

“In summer, the walks appeal to the usual bucket and spade brigade. In winter, it’s affluent people with a bigger disposable income who will do most of the walks. And there are also lots of school and coach groups.”

I wonder if Natalie ever suffers stage-fright, especially given the proximity to her audience?

“No,” she says, without hesitation. “I don’t, because when I was in my early 20s, I was really ill. Compared with that, standing up in front of people is nothing.” Natalie had cancer, only diagnosed after a battle with medics who at first told her that she was “too young” for the disease.

Thankfully, her treatment was a success.

On our walk, she points out the house – now a shop – where Jane Austen is believed to have lived on two family visits to the resort in 1803 and 1804. We also peer through the grimy windows of a building that was once Hiscotts Boarding House, where the Austens also stayed.

Most recently a hotel and Grade II listed, it looks shockingly derelict after lying empty for around 20 years.

It’s now six years since Natalie launched her first walk the summer she arrived in Lyme. “I recorded myself talking and learned it by heart,” she remembers. “Each walk is completely different and I virtually always stick to the script, although there are lots of stops and starts, so it doesn’t sound rehearsed.”

But although she goes by the book, her knowledge of the local area and the novelists and literature it inspired is remarkable. It’s with a fascinated curiosity rather than an attempt to catch her out, that I pepper her with questions about Georgian Lyme. Really? When was that? How long ago? Why? Where?

Her knowledge of the local area and the novelists and literature it inspired is remarkable

Much of what’s known about Jane Austen’s time in Lyme comes from a letter she wrote to sister Cassandra. Natalie leads the way up a pretty back street, where if you didn’t know it was there, you would missss the letter-box where that very letter was posted. Made of oak and now an antique fixture of a residential house, the original slot was vertical. “It was thought that would make it more difficult to anyone to slide their hand in and steal the letters,” she explains.

Natalie is fascinated by Jane Austen’s Lyme in equal measure. But it turns out she’s a 21st century girl at heart – even if time travel were an option. “Would I have liked to live back then?” she muses as we pass the sunbathers on the promenade “No. I’d visit, to explore and see what life was like,” she concedes, “But not to stay. I like to climb trees and do things that were considered boyish – I’m not ladylike enough,” she laughs.

“Besides, the footwear back then was so impractical – flimsy boots with thin leather soles.

Can you imagine scrambling around the cliffs in those?”

Crocs it is, then.

ANNE SWITHINBANK

Blue is the colour

[

Anne Swithinbank, panellist on Radio 4’s Gardener’s Question Time, admires the colour and impact offered by agapanthus ne plant guaranteed to lift your garden out of the ordinary in high summer is the African blue lily or agapanthus. Grown in large pots, these scene-stealers can be moved around to create their own drama. To pass the audition, they should reach about chest height when in full bloom and need to have whopping great flower heads at least 15cm/6in across.

Drifts of agapanthus work well in borders too but they vary as to their winter hardiness and once anchored, cease to be a moveable feast. Some can take a while to settle down and reach a good flowering size in open ground and exceptionally cold winters will send the more tender ones into a spin.

Although it is often said that agapanthus flower better when pot bound, I disagree as they soon exhaust themselves after being restricted to the same pot for too long. Their fleshy roots become congested and the uptake of water and nutrients is impaired.

My mode d’emploi is to keep a new agapanthus in a container, potting it on pretty much annually in spring until it reaches the largest size I

18

Gardening_July27.indd 18

can manage, which would be 45-60cm/18-24in across the top. Avoid pot-bellied containers, as the roots tend to get stuck. I use my usual potting compost of 50:50 John Innes no 2 with a peat free multipurpose and mix this two parts to one with sharp sand or Cornish grit. When the quantity and quality of flowers drops, prise the roots out of the pot and divide the mass into two or three portions (use the rosettes of leaves as guidance).

I start the division using an old long-bladed kitchen knife and then two garden forks, back to back, driven in to the clump. One section is repotted while the rest are planted out. Do this either in spring or just after flowering, so the roots have time to establish before winter. Potted plants are moved into an unheated greenhouse for the winter (provide further insulation during freezing spells) and the rest mulched with composted bark against winter cold.

Potted agapanthus are hungry feeders, so add a controlled release fertilizer to the compost surface in spring. I usually liquid feed every month too, sometimes with a general purpose fertilizer but also with high potash when I have some mixed for the tomatoes.

Much though I love ‘Silver Mist’, the thought of a rich blue African lily is tempting. The stage is set and maybe it’s time for a nursery visit and more shopping?

This week’s to-do list Anne’s advice for your garden

• Prune cordontrained apples by cutting all the shoots made this year back to two leaves above the basal cluster. This needs doing every summer to maintain the neat shape.

More light is let in to ripen the fruit.

• Trim back sun roses (Helianthemum) immediately after flowering.

Remove all the flowered shoots

Question time with Anne Q

This plant (pictured) has flowered in the communal garden where my Mum has a retirement flat in Saltash. Is it a bird of paradise?

Bob Lillie

The flowers are almost bird-like but this is a type of New Zealand flax (Phormium). These evergreens are hardier than the bird of paradise (Strelitzia) and widely planted as they’re so good in coastal areas.

The picture you sent shows a fairly large, purple leaved type and some of these phormiums can grow to enormous proportions. I can recommend a variety called ‘Alison Blackman’ whose long, pointed leaves are maroon-edged and striped with cream, olive green and grey-green. This stays compact, taking several years to reach 1.5m/5ft and also looks great in containers.

Q

to just behind the last flowers to keep plants compact.

Mete out the same treatment to herbs like lavender, sage and thyme when they’ve finished flowering.

• Cut away reverted shoots (they turn plain green) growing on variegated shrubs, or eventually the whole lot will turn green.

I re-seeded a patch of lawn and it germinated well. It looks different to the rest of the lawn and grown much faster – how can I slow it down?

There are many different grass seed mixtures involving a variety of species and varieties of lawn grasses. The chances of a match with the original are pretty slim and over the years, a lawn adjusts itself to the prevailing soil and climate as well as being invaded by mosses and weeds. Your new sowing stands out now but give it a year or two and it will gradually blend in. At the moment, the new grasses are growing fast but as they tiller (creep) outwards, they’ll compete with each other more and growth will slow down and settle with the rest. Keep mowing regularly.

Harvest shallots and garlic when their leaves yellow and start dying back. Choose dry weather to fork them up and leave them to dry on the surface before gathering for further drying on racks under cover if necessary.

Fresh water Make sure fresh water is available every day for birds to drink and bathe in. There was great advice on helping hedgehogs from Hampton Court Flower Show. Don’t forget to cut holes in the bottoms of fortress-like boundary fences so hogs can move safely over their territory without using roads.

MODERN MANORS

A picnic to remember Kishanda Fulford dines al fresco

his is the time of year for a picnic.

What fun. Off we went to my youngest son’s school for his last day and the marathon that is church, speeches, a picnic, more church and then the leavers’ ball.

I had agreed, with our friends, that we should all make something for the picnic, and then share the spoils. On the day I was up at dawn packing cold boxes with sausages, smoked trout pate, tomato salad with basil and olive oil, salt, pepper, a dustbin bag, smoked almonds and cheese biscuits. When I went to the fridge, I found there was no cheese to go with the fancy biscuits I had bought. My other children had woofed most of it down, and what was left had teeth marks in it.

Rather than allow myself to be annoyed by this state of affairs I just carried on, piling everything up by the front door so it was ready to be put in the car. Off we set, with more sets of clothes than I would normally wear in a week.

Each ‘event’ at the school required a different outfit. Finally, we were in the car with, I thought, everything we could possibly need. I was so relaxed, my husband drove the motor and I managed to read the papers and paint all my nails.

We arrived at the school on time (unusual), my son won a prize, (I will not say ‘unusual’ because, like any parent, I burst with pride) and then we headed to our car to have the picnic with other families. Out of the cars came what must have been about twenty cold boxes. These were filled with flattened smoked salmon sandwiches and enough chocolate brownies to feed two cricket teams. I noticed with envy that one parent had a lovely wooden box filled with delicacies and bottles of rose in a silver ice bucket. My old battered

T

[

cold boxes looked distinctly scruffy.

We did not have a corkscrew between us, or a bottle opener, and only four glasses. There was however, enough water, flat and fizzy, to sink a canoe. But, strangely, we all had remembered the dustbin bag. The wind blew, and it got colder and colder, as it does when you are having a picnic.

One gust was strong enough to lift a sharp knife

My other children had woofed most of it down, and what was left had teeth marks in it. off a wooden board which was resting on the tailgate of the car. The knife flipped and stabbed the grass just missing a foot in an open-toed sandal.

I went to get some wool rugs. I thought the girls could wrap themselves in these rugs instead of sitting on them. The rugs were nowhere to be seen. They had been left behind even though they were in the pile by the front door.

The parents then cleared up the debris as the children popped the lid off another beer bottle with their lighters. This is a good trick and one all parents should learn. What, though, does one do with thirty-three carrot sticks and a dip with a mouthful out of it? What do you do with the residue of a plastic pot of olives? What is to be done with a quiche that has had the middle of it scooped out?

[

The leftover bread and pastry edges were repacked for our chickens. The carrot sticks were divided among those of us who had ponies.

Some of the ghastly remainders, if they were not covered in olive oil, were shoved in the back of my car for the children’s ‘after party’ party.

We took the rest of the food and tried to foist it on other parents and children. This, as you can imagine, was exactly what everyone else was trying to do. I noticed, with horror, that a bun with butter on it had settled on my son’s suit, which had somehow found its way into the middle of the picnic. He had to wear it that evening.

When I got home I found the following had come back with us: a packet of unsalted butter which had turned rancid; a packet of unopened smoked almonds which was swimming in the water that had collected in the bottom of one of my cold boxes; loads of sparkling water; a lovely tin that did not belong to me, filled with chocolate brownies: some crisps and the attendant dip, all mushed together, in a bowl that did not belong to me, and a lump of brie. The smoked trout pate I had so carefully made, had spilt all over one cold box. Yuck. Clearing up a picnic, is no picnic.

this week: BUGGY BOOTCAMP Kate Leadbeater, 45, had baby, Sophia, 12 weeks ago. She has joined other new mums signed up to a weekly Buggy Bootcamp – where baby comes, too – run by her husband Mark at Plymouth’s Royal William Yard.

It’s important to be fit and now I want to be fit post baby. As I’m an older mother, I want to be able to run as fast as the younger mums when our daughter eventually has her first school sports day.

I hadn’t exercised since last August and, gosh, I knew it. It’s been hard but fun and now I feel great.

A typical class will begin with a circuit pushing our buggies weighed down underneath with kettle

bells. We begin with a walk and the aim is to build up at your own pace to a jog.

Then it might be boxing, throwing four different kinds of punches, with a quick run and back in between and then weights or sit ups.

It’s been great meeting other mums and the class is very sociable. I now just need to try and keep up with them all!

M&Co slimming swimsuit £26

ight that’s it, we’re outta here. Yes, it is time to cut and run, even if you are only going as far as Woollacombe. The holidays are upon us.

But what to wear, what to pack, what to buy?

Especially if you are going further afield and braving the current luggage restrictions. Fifteen kilos really isn’t very much, is it? Not when you want to look your best for the holiday snaps.

Here’s our roundup of some great last-minute get-away fashion. We’re impressed by the “Escape to Cornwall” collection from Falmouth-based clothing company Seasalt. Perhaps because they live here, they have created clothes that would look good on any Westcountry summer holiday.

If you’re jetting off to hotter climes, then we love this floaty Ingenue maxidress, specially designed to be creaseproof during the longest of flights. We also love these go-with-anything nude leather sandals from Sam Edelman.

Swimming costumes have come on in leaps and bounds since last summer and now pretty much every fashion firm worth its salt does a control-panel one-piece, perfect for reinforcing your curves by the pool or beach. We especially like this colourful one from M&Co, just £26.

EATING OUT

The Coldstreamer

By Becky Sheaves

ulval is a tiny little place on the outskirts of Penzance. On arrival, I found it has a very pretty centre, set around a village square of stone houses and an old church nearby. I can honestly say that I’ve never been there before in my life, despite being raised in Cornwall. But I’d heard that The Coldstreamer was worth a visit, so here we were.

As you walk in you find yourself in a traditional pub, with proper bar and even fairly swirly carpets. But there is also a wooden-floored restaurant and upstairs are letting rooms. I was puzzled by the unusual name, until I read a sign in the bar that explained it all. For a short while after 1942, the pub was owned by the Coldstream Guards Association. It had been given to them by the family of Captain Michael Bolitho, a local man who was killed in action in the Second World War.

G

At the time, the pub changed its name from The Old Inn and it still keeps in touch with the Coldstream Guards to this day, with copies of the Regimental Magazine in the bar and a very smart Coldstreamer (perhaps Capt Bolitho himself) on the pub sign.

I visited with my husband John, just the two of us looking forward to a night out on our own. We were shown to our table by a friendly waitress, then the barman, a Frenchman called Vincent, took our wine orders. We had a bottle of Spanish Naire Verdejo (£16.50) which he (quite rightly) recommended. Not the most subtle wine in the world but a great house white as an alternative to a sauvignon blanc, with lots of fresh pear and almond aromas, and a citrus tang.

The service was friendly and jolly, with plenty of banter between the staff and regulars. I thought to myself, if the food here is any good, I’m going to feel seriously jealous of Gulval, with such a nice pub right here in the centre of the village.

To start, I had blow-torched mackerel with bal-

1 The Victoria Inn, Perranuthnoe Possibly the oldest pub in Cornwall,

samic ketchup and fennel jam (£5.50). It was, as I had hoped, very good – the mackerel should have been super-fresh this close to the sea, and it was.

Excellent mix of flavours and all home-prepared.

John had pork rillette (£5.50) - not my kind of thing being basically a chunk of chopped meat. But is is his kind of thing and he liked it a lot.

For our main course, John chose hake with crushed new potatoes, broccoli prawns and dill (£14.25) while I could not resist a chance to have roast turbot - the king of fish, surely - with globe artichoke, salsa verde and preserved lemons. Both dishes were simple, tasty and generous in portion size. The fish was both fresh and impeccably cooked.

Out of the window, the view was of the 12th century church, inside the pub was filling up with locals enjoying themselves. We ended our meal with an excellent arctic roll, with elderflower and vanilla poached strawberries (£5.50). I thoroughly approved of the cheeseboard. It was a substantial selection, all in great condition, It included Stichelton Blue, a kind of uber-stilton, that really must be one of the best blue cheeses in the world.

There was also a cheese called Rachel which is a particular obsession of mine. It is a rind-washed goat’s cheese from Somerset that is really some-

thing if you get the chance to have some: firm, nutty and flavoursome.

The bill for this meal was only £69.25, which is superb value. Yes, I ended the meal feeling very envious of Gulval. If every village had a great local pub like this one, the world would, I feel quite certain, be a better place.

Indeed, the motto of the Coldstream Guards is “Nulli Secundus”, or “Second to None”. And this accomplished pub/restaurant would certainly be hard to beat.

Home-made oven chips.

Peel and cut your potatoes into big chunky chips, bring them slowly to the boil in well salted water until just tender.

Drain well and toss in a little light olive oil or rape seed oil.

Bake in a hot oven and season with celery salt and black pepper. These make great dipping tool but you won’t miss a dip if you don’t have one, they are so good on their own.

Chilli and garlic potato smash.

No, not the stuff from a packet. This is a very Italian way of cooking veg, not usually potatoes, but it works rather well.

Heat plenty of good olive oil in a casserole pan and add thinly sliced, washed but not peeled potatoes – a waxy variety will work best here.

Chuck in loads and loads of chopped garlic and a teaspoon or so of chilli flakes or fresh chilli along with a fresh bay leaf and a good whack of chopped thyme.

The trick here is to cook the potatoes on a moderate heat until they take a little colour then turn down the heat and put the lid on. This way they sort of steam a bit, fry a bit, sweat a bit and taste great a lot. This is great stirred through a little pasta or add a load of picked flat parsley leaf and grate some hard strong cheddar over the top.

THURSDAY Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy 2: Tales From Painted Hawaii If you study comedy and TV shows long enough, you’ll know that all great comedy shows need at least one series to bed in, and it’s not always the surefire shows that work straight away.

The likes of Blackadder and Men Behaving Badly both had a few wrinkles to iron out before they hit

their stride, and the same could be said of this colourful offering from the surrealist funnyman.

Thankfully E4 do produce some of the best new comedy around, when they’re not showing endless repeats of The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother that is. So let’s hope Noel and company can

find their feet this time around.

The new run is set in a coffee shop on the edge of a volcano in Hawaii. Episode One sees the cast of Magnum PI attempting to sacrifice Noel. Will internet sensation Paul Panfer stage a daring rescue?

Doubtful. Dolly Wells also stars.

WEDNESDAY Art of China : Andrew Graham-Dixon could make an entire series about the Terracotta Army figures alone, but instead they form just part of this new, three-part documentary about – as the title gives away – art made in China.

Ben Fogle grew up in Dorset. In this show he focuses on the lives of the county’s residents, from the super rich residents of Sandbanks, to the folks making a living by working the sea, and he takes a whelk fishing at trip at 6am.

Dragons’ Den (BBC2, 8pm)

There have been a few times in the Den’s nine-year history that we’ve thought one or more of the people pitching to the Dragons must be barking mad, but this episode takes the biscuit – so to speak.

It sees two young entrepreneurs who are so keen to impress Peter Jones that they end up eating their own range of dog food. But will their drastic tactic be enough to fetch them a deal, or will the Dragons bring them to heel?

Meanwhile, the potential investors are entertained during a pitch by a colourful Indian dance troupe, before being introduced to the weird and wonderful world of taxidermy.

Evan Davis presents the show, ushering in the hopeful contestants as well as hearing from them after their pitches.

Our favourite Dragon? It has to be Somerset’s own really rather fabulous Deborah Meaden, pictured above.

Royal Marines Commando School (Channel 4, 9pm)

Have you got what it takes to be a Royal Marine Commando?

Many viewers will have got less than half way through the first episode before concluding that, for them, the answer is a resounding ‘no’. But six weeks into training at the Royal Marines’ training base at Lympstone in Devon, two recruits are determined to prove that they really do have the right stuff.

The stakes are high, as the recruits are facing their first pass-or-fail test in the form of a series of physical challenges, culminating in three vertigo-inducing rope climbs. If they can’t make it, they’ll be out.

Borg, who is 22, appears to be at a disadvantage as his build is not suited to shinning up ropes, but he’s hoping a diet of jelly and fish will give him the strength to complete the test. Can he show them that he’s taking this latest challenge seriously?

You certainly can’t afford to nip off to make a cup of tea or check your emails while Utopia is on – in fact, just a quick blink can make you miss a crucial piece of the plot.

So prop open your eyelids for this, the fourth episode which begins as Dugdale offers Jessica a safe place to stay, despite the fact they don’t seem to trust each other.

Ian, meanwhile, is a wanted man.

Both Jessica and Milner are searching for him, but he’s holed up with Becky, trying to work out why Anton declared they were all going to die.

Eventually, Becky discovers more about the dark past of the mystery man, just as The Network prepares to release Russian flu on the world...

No trip to China is complete without a visit to the Terracotta Army. First discovered under a farmer’s field near Xi’an 40 years ago, and meticulously pieced back together by archaeologists, they are an extraordinary site, housed in aircraft hangar-sized spaces and each of them created to resemble a real-life soldier.

They are awe-inspiring, and many are moved to tears when they first come face-to-face with these monuments from a centuries-old age.

Andrew Graham-Dixon fronts this new, three-part documentary about – as the title gives away – art made in China. The first edition sees Andrew investigate how recent discoveries of ancient pieces of art are now redefining how the country understands its origins, including these remarkable life-sized models.

Beavers Behaving Badly – Natural World (BBC2, times vary)

It’s been a busy 12 months for Rob Brydon, juggling his assorted game show duties (The Guess List and Would I Lie To You?) while providing the lion’s share of the rib-tickling on Steve Coogan and director Michael Winterbottom’s sublime comedy The Trip To Italy.

Now one of Swansea’s brightest stars is back on the box, but in vocal form only as he narrates this fascinating wildlife strand. It centres on The Wyoming Wetlands Society, a non-profit organisation relocating beavers that have been damaging expensive landscaped areas and flooding yards and roads with their dam-building activities in the US. With the wild beavers on East Devon’s River Otter causing concern right now, we might be wise to watch this for some Stateside advice on how to cope with living alongside these wild creatures.

The Last Leg (Channel 4, 10pm)

Australian comedian Adam Hills couldn’t believe his luck when a little show created to add some levity to the Paralympics in 2012 became one of Channel 4’s biggest hits of recent years.

Of course it helps that he’s joined

by Mock the Week regular Josh Widdicombe and journalist Alex Brooker (who escaped from Channel 4’s woeful skiing strand The Jump with his dignity intact). For the first of a new series, they are joined by celebrity guests for a comic review of the past seven days.

The trio offer their own unique insight into some of the most difficult and delicate issues in modern Britain, and answer that most important of questions: Is it okay?

Well, the answer to that loaded question will be revealed before the closing titles, but as any fan of this series will tell you, The Last Leg is more than okay.

My life

[

man and boy

Portrait of the artist Phil Goodwin tidies up after a creative four year old

astern philosophers have long understood that fulfilment stems from the harmonisation of human existence and our environment. As the ancient system of feng shui teaches, even architecture and the orientation of buildings must submit to the invisible life force that binds the universe, the Qi. Here in the materialistic West we may have boiled down the wisdom of the ancients into an easily digestible stew of minimalist interior design and open plan furniture arranging.

Still, only a fool would argue against the central pillar of this creed - light and space is good, clutter and mess is bad.

But as I struggle to achieve the very modest target of maintaining a floor space not entirely littered in plastic toys, I wonder - did these enlightened thinkers live with four-year-old

E

children? Because I have arrived at a problem to which even the sacred texts of Chinese metaphysics appear to offer no solution: the output of a prolific young artist.

Like so many of his age, unwearied and unburdened by the cares of the modern world, James is a creative spirit. Quite rightly his artistic bent is encouraged at every twist and turn. When he is not in pre-school painting, cutting and sticking, he is connecting Lego bricks to create strange buildings and vehicles. On his “day off” the lad attends a special creative workshop at the arts centre, under the tutelage of his mentor, Sonia, who runs Messy Beans. Note: this is not to be confused with the more active drama session, Jumping Beans, which he also enjoyed. Though I was less keen on cavorting around in my bare feet with arms flinging gaily in the air, as a slightly unwilling part of a gang of Exeter mums.

Now the Beans themselves are heavenly creatures. Set free upon rolls of unfurled wallpaper they splash and splatter paint like a noisy gang of tiny Jackson Pollocks. Some apply the colours to the canvas with hands, arms and feet, running and sliding around. It is all very expressive and wonderfully free.

My boy, however, is less taken by this

[

[

and more drawn to the plastic arts. And he is shameless. Basically, he likes making stuff which he can play with later. Or rather, getting other people to do it. I think, in his mind, he has wandered into a giant toy factory of which he is designer-in-chief.

“Would you like to do some body painting?”

I ask, feeling we are somehow pooping the paint party. “No thanks,” he replies, curtly, continuing to tip vast amounts of powder blue liquid paint onto the anaglypta. “I want to make a box fish,” he declares. Okay, we have a smart-ass. Once I have described the animal, Sonia dutifully supplies a plastic bottle and washing powder box and I get to work with the gaffer tape. Soon it is drying in the sun as we have lunch at the outdoor café. Back home it joins the cardboard box aquarium, with plastic windows and suspended sea creatures, along with the airplane hangar and its fleet.

There is also the huge Great White Shark which he cajoled his grandfather into making.

Oh, not to mention the “tram” which was so artfully articulated out of the polystyrene packaging from my new (and very necessary) World Cup TV. Nothing is wasted, nothing is thrown away.

We are overwhelmed with this stuff. It is as if the crew from Blue Peter has broken into the house and turned our entire grocery cupboards into paper sculptures. But you have to thin this stuff out somehow or it sends you mad, throws the whole ying and the yang out of kilter. However, bitter experience has also taught me to proceed with caution. Some things never fade from the little darling’s memory. To prevent catastrophic loss, I employ an intermediate holding zone, prior to final disposal in the recycling bin.
