TALKING POINT

iPlayer (BBC3) QUALITY DRAMA

Yet again BBC3 confronts its young adult viewers with a crucial social issue. Presenter Will Best gathers 24 teens for a screening of a short drama designed to show that sex without consent can include scenarios outside the stereotype of a violent attack by a stranger. By the end of the ensuing debate (and viewer vote), a lot of outlooks have been changed.

The Dresser iPlayer (BBC2)

Feel those thespy sparks fly as you indulge in one of the starriest TV dramas for years. Sarah Lancashire, Edward Fox and Emily Watson are merely supporting players as Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins take charge of Ronald Harwood’s 1980 play. As creaking actor “Sir” and his devoted (ish) assistant, the two greats explore why actors act.

SEEN IT YET?

BACK TO GRASS ROOTS

Class of ’92: Out of Their League

The takeover of lowly Salford City FC by five Man Utd superstars changed the club’s fortunes. But if the Class of ’92 achieve their aim to revamp a shabby but beloved community hub and turn it into a Football League outfit, would that be an improvement? This fly-on-thewall two-parter captures those questions as well as a host of interesting characters: the difference in temperament between Phil Neville (right) and his more forthright brother Gary could power a documentary on its own. READY TO BINGE

Falling Skies Sky Box Sets/NowTV

Not yet heeded Alison Graham’s recommendation? There’s just time to catch this superior crime drama, starring the excellent Nicola Walker. Stick with it through an opening episode that might bewilder you: who are these disparate characters? Why do we care about a person killed decades ago? When the story clicks, it becomes a whodunnit with unusual heart. Ep1 available until 7 November

UNTOLD STORIES

Unreported World

All 4 (C4)

In this series of dispatches from places cameras rarely go we’ve seen gay “cure” therapy in China, acid-attack victims in Bangladesh, and families torn apart by the South Sudan civil war. All of them show the human spirit in its rawest form, so they’re not as black as they sound; and the visit to a Malawi eye hospital brings happy tears.

LAST CHANCE TO SEE

Black Roses iPlayer (BBC4)

Don’t miss this moving dramadocumentary, which serves as a serene elegy for Sophie Lancaster, a 20-year-old who was murdered in a Lancashire park in 2007. Poems by Simon Armitage give a voice to a girl who struggled to find a place in the world — her attackers took exception to her Goth hair and clothes — while Julie Hesmondhalgh is devastating in a solo performance as Sophie’s mother.

FINE ARTS

Imagine… iPlayer (BBC1)

The new series of BBC1’s arts strand kicked off with a cracking bit of literary analysis. Is The Merchant of Venice anti-Semitic, or does it merely portray the prejudice? Howard Jacobson and Alan Yentob think the former, but via interviews with writers, academics and actors, they closely interrogate that reaction. It’s another facet of Shakespeare’s genius: centuries after his death, his words can hold up one end of a deeply complex conversation.

FRESH HISTORY

9The Stuarts in Exile iPlayer (BBC4)

Two clipped and witty hours are all Dr Clare Jackson needs to sum up the significance of events that began 300 years ago, when James Francis Stuart arrived in Scotland from France, expecting to claim the English and Scottish thrones. Jackson details the individual failures that decided the tussle between Jacobites and Hanoverians, putting them in the wider context of a time when old political certainties in Britain were crumbling.

eldom has a drama been so lauded. Mad Men won pretty much everything. Emmys, Golden Globes: the trophy cabinet groaned with glittery glory. Yet its appeal was boutique. A tiny band of critics, commentators and viewers loved it. To us Mad Men was and remains hallowed ground, something so perfect that, even though it’s over for good, it will stay in our memories for ever. As all seven seasons are released as a box set, this is the perfect time either to wallow all over again in every beautiful minute, or to dive in to see what you missed. If you’re in the latter category, oh how I envy you, the joys you have to come. Mad Men is startling and funny, sad and shocking, rueful and sublime, with a cast of complex, often unsympathetic characters, all of whom are linked in some way to the thrusting New York advertising industry of the 1960s. Its fulcrum is Don Draper (Jon Hamm), a handsome, sharp-suited advertising genius trapped in a hell

of his own making. Don isn’t even his real name: he stole an identity and used it to blot out (increasingly unsuccessfully) an early life of loneliness, brutality and misery. Draper runs two discreet personal lives: a biddable wife and sweet kids in the leafy suburbs, and a succession of easy lays in the city. He treats women abominably, so none of us wants to look too hard at why he is so flipping attractive. Sexual politics lie at the heart of Mad Men. When we first step into the offices of the Sterling Cooper agency the men do the big thinking and the women are secretaries. But new girl Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss), arguably the most brilliantly realised character, has ambition and vision. Don’s moments with Peggy, notably in series four’s heartbreaker episode The Suitcase, are his finest. ALISON GRAHAM Amazon Prime, NowTV, Sky Box Sets.

Continuing last week’s theme of problems Dr Dig is constantly fixing in the RT office, let’s look at a program you might use every day. Word processors are as basic as PCs get, yet they’re still endlessly frustrating. Computers tend to assume everyone is American, so if your computer keeps trying to delete the “u” in “colour”, go to Languages under the Tools menu and set it to British English, then disable “detect language”. You can also add words to your dictionary, so it doesn’t underline Snuffywhiskers every time you write about your cat.

If you copy and paste a lot from the web (perhaps you’re a journalist) your documents can be a mess of different fonts and sizes. Rather than manually adjusting it, click your cursor within a section you’re happy with, click the paintbrush on the toolbar, then highlight the offending text. Ta-da! It’s all uniform.

news WHAT’S GETTING US TALKING…

MORE THEATRE ON TV BBC2’s adaptation of The Dresser with Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins, was so good that the BBC want to do more stage plays. A senior BBC source reveals that “there will be more in future”, which will please McKellen. “There will be other plays that you haven’t seen that you may not be able to see in the theatre that could be popular on TV and I hope that happens,” McKellen tells me. Would he be interested in being in them? “Absolutely.”

SPACE FOR COMEDY In February I revealed that Graham Linehan, creator of Father Ted and The IT Crowd, was teaming up with Adam Buxton (of Adam and Joe fame) to make a pilot for a new Channel 4 comedy set in space. The Cloud follows the crew of a data hub floating about Earth, which is designed to protect the vast amounts of information the human population hoards on its digital devices — selfies, pictures of kittens and, yes, porn. Now I can reveal that the show will get a six-part series, though C4 says that there will be changes from the pilot. But it’s still set in space. That’s the main thing.

ORDER! ORDER! Graham Linehan’s Father Ted co-writer Arthur Mathews also has a new sitcom in the pipeline, and this time he’s getting political. Last year Mathews wrote a comedy for Radio 4 called Men about the House, which imagined a House of Commons that was dominated by women and featured a Prime Minister called Eve. Now Channel 4 has commissioned a script with a view to turning the idea into a TV show. “It’s based on the radio thing,” says Mathews, “with MPs, but who are very irresponsible. It’s surreal, they’re just like a bunch of teenagers.” How very different from the real thing.

STRICTLY JEKYLL AND HYDE This week, episode three of ITV’s drama Jekyll and Hyde has an interesting scene in which Natalie Gumede dances in a bar in the guise of saucy Bella. It was an in-joke from writer Charlie Higson, who knew that she could strut her stuff after she was runner-up in Strictly in 2013. However, director Colin Teague instructed her not to be too good. “He said I looked a little poised. Obviously Bella is a rough and ready girl and he wanted that to be authentic.” So rough and ready dancing it was… BEN DOWELL

The Hunt Sunday 9.00pm BBC1

Spot the bear

ne thousand feet up on a treacherous sea cliff, a polar bear picks its way tentatively over rocks and scree in search of food. It’s summer in the Arctic and the sea ice that the bear needs to hunt its prey has melted and it is starving. On the menu for this perilous hunting mission are guillemot chicks and eggs — protein-rich, but not exactly stomach filling. Filming the extraordinary sequence for BBC1’s The Hunt was a team led by Jonnie Hughes. “It does look like a pretty desperate act,” he says. “At some points it was almost vertically climbing. We filmed it for three days and our guess is that it probably stayed up there all summer.”

ADIL RAY

I’m no Uncle Tom Why Mr Khan is a very British comedy As a British Muslim Pakistani, I grew up in a house that loved comedy, but in the run-up to the launch of Citizen Khan in August 2012, I sat in a meeting at the BBC discussing the fact that my new comedy might result in some complaints. At the time I thought that what would outweigh anyone’s negative comments was pride at the watershed moment of seeing a Muslim Pakistani family at the forefront of a BBC sitcom. I was wrong. That first series resulted in more than 700 complaints; we were accused of making fun of Islam and stereotyping Asians. I had death threats and to this day receive abuse on social media; namely, that I’m an “Uncle Tom” (the definition of which is a black man considered excessively obedient or servile to whites). Yet against this backdrop, Citizen Khan has gained a broad following and has an audience of over five

REX; MARK HARRISON; GETTY

We were accused of ‘ making fun of Islam and Asians ’ million, including iPlayer views. Now in its fourth series, it remains in a primetime slot on BBC1. Before I wrote the show, it was clear to me that, following 9/11, Muslims were more singled out than ever. Having made comedy for many years on the Asian Network, I wanted to bring laughter and creativity to a discussion that was otherwise clinical. All comedy relies to some extent on big characters and stereotype. For people to connect with it, there must be something that they either recognise in themselves, or in others. Look at Del Boy: a dodgy Peckham businessman who drinks too much. No one is saying that everyone from Peckham is like that, but by playing to stereotype, you create a character whom we all understand, recognise and love, despite his weaknesses. It’s the same thing with Basil Fawlty, the bigot battling his own class war; or the socially awkward Miranda. The character I play

is Mr Khan – a bearded, slightly old-fashioned, loudmouthed Muslim, a self-appointed community leader living in Birmingham. Like all comedy characters, Mr Khan goes on a journey, but what matters most is that he does the right thing in the end. He’s a good family man – one of the most promoted values in the UK today – and in that sense I see the programme as very British. In one episode in the current run, Mr Khan discovers his younger daughter Alia has a boyfriend. It was a challenging episode to write because we didn’t want to play to the negative portrayal of Muslim parents as domineering or pretend that Muslim teenagers don’t have boyfriends. But through thinking about parents in general, we thought it realistic that many, like Mr and Mrs Khan, would not like the idea. They would argue they had their child’s best interests at heart.

re we reinforcing the Muslim stereotype of an overly protective parent or just protective parents in general? Mr Khan’s wife and two daughters are fiercely independent women who get their own way. There will be many fathers of teenage daughters across the UK who recognise that, too. I speak to Muslims from all walks of life about Citizen Khan and, ultimately, I hear a range of different views, even from within one family. Since 9/11 there’s been a tendency across the Western world to bundle all Muslims together as sharing the same thoughts and values. And within Muslim families and communities, there remains a struggle to accept pluralism: that individuals can think differently from each other or interpret things in a different way to each other. Citizen Khan and all the reactions to it – from its most dedicated fans who bring their entire families to watch the shows being filmed live to those who level abuse at me on social media – demonstrate that not all Muslims think and interpret things in the same way. And in today’s world, what could be more powerful than that? Adil Ray is the creator and star of Citizen Khan.

Downton Abbey Sunday 9.00pm ITV

Last of the

Crawleys Alison Graham has laughed, cried and counted pigs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but as the curtain falls on Downton, she says weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss the fairy tale that revived costume drama

DOWNTON MOMENT LAURA CARMICHAEL LADY EDITH

RICHARD GRASSIE

You don’t do a job like Downton and not picture the end; it was always just a question of when. We’ve been preparing for it for a long time — and it wasn’t until halfway through this year that we thought, “Now we can be really sad.” I think I was ready to let go of Edith — we all took our lead from Julian [Fellowes, the writer] and when he was ready, so were we. We wanted to end on a high and I think these final episodes are the best we’ve done. My granny was a journalist: she worked in Bath, I think on the Chronicle, during the Second World War so I loved my journalism storyline and the scenes in the newspaper offices. Gran saw the first series, but then passed away. Nobody could have predicted then that that was where Edith would end up! Edith didn’t have all the romantic offers that Mary did, but she made something of herself and discovered a talent, which I think is much better and more exciting!

I’ll miss the pigs most of all. I loved those Downton Abbey pigs. I played pig bingo. Every time anyone said “pig”, I had a bacon sandwich. People talked a lot about pigs. “Did the pigs arrive?” “How are the pigs doing?” “Did the children like the pigs?” “Good luck with the pigs.” Lady Mary lost all her poise when she and one of her interchangeable boring beaux had some muddy porcine-centred fun. It was bonkers, but that was Downton Abbey for you. Weird, larky, mystifying, like a barking great aunt you can’t help but love. Just thinking back to that first 2010 episode makes me smile, with its talk of an “entail”. Or it might have been an “entrail” or even an “end table”. Time and again, “entail this” or “entail that”. What on earth was this crazy new drama all about, I wondered, innocently. This was an arcane start for a period drama on a mainstream channel that was to become a cultural phenomenon – a touchstone for an idea of Britishness that would go on to conquer the globe, enchanting China and arresting America. (And we all learnt that, put simply, an entail effectively deprived Downton chatelaine Cora of her money. We need to know no more.) The sixth and final series of Downton Abbey ends on Sunday, though there will be a Christmas special. But to all intents and purposes, it is over. Done. Finished. Downton

Abbey is to me the barmiest drama on TV, but – fetch me a damp flannel for my forehead – I will miss it. Really, truly, I honestly will. So will roughly nine million other British viewers and audiences of upwards of 120 million worldwide, all captivated by the adventures of the aristocratic Crawley family – mum and dad Robert and Cora and three lovely daughters Mary, Edith and Sybil – comfortable in their glorious country seat somewhere in North Yorkshire, and their downstairs staff presided over by Mr Carson, a man of granite countenance and principles.

‘

Everyone knew their place and was jolly well grateful

’

Downton Abbey was immaculate (oh, those upper-class clothes! The jewellery!), a tidy, selfcontained world where everyone knew their place and they were jolly well grateful. Masters and mistresses chatted amicably to servants, often asking for advice and comfort. The toffs might have been separated from their staff by wealth, education and background, but they all got on mightily well. There was a comfortable egalitarianism about, for instance, Lady Mary’s nightly gossips with her maid Anna.

Such cosiness made us feel good about ourselves, and in tumultuous times we harked back to those old certainties, at least as they were presented to us by Downton’s creator and writer, Julian Fellowes. But real servants in English country houses had hard, rotten lives, having to face the wall when their betters walked past and, if they were women, possibly forced to acquiesce to the ancestral droit du seigneur imposed by the master of the house.

ut no one wants too much truth from a period drama, surely? We don’t want these ideals to hurt us, which is why that ghastly episode where decent, honourable Anna (Joanne Froggatt) was raped by a visiting manservant quite rightly attracted almost universal opprobrium. Something so hideous in real life had no place in an opalescent fantasy world. Downton Abbey presented a version of the past that appealed to anyone who had ever bought a National Trust tea towel. It was essentially a fairy tale, but who doesn’t love a fairy tale? After all, a fairy tale is just a story and, as long as the world turns, we all need stories. What Downton Abbey did, it did boldly and unapologetically. It gave ITV new confidence in its ability to produce big-hitting dramas, something that tended to get left to the BBC. Then the BBC fell out of love with costume dramas (until it fell e

DOWNTON MOMENT f back in love again later, with Poldark), having discovered bleak sagas about doomed prostitutes bound and gagged in cellars. ITV could hold its own around the world. As Downton’s executive producer Gareth Neame told us, its success proved that globally “British shows could punch above their weight”.

ut Downton Abbey had many mad moments and more than its fair share of “what the hell was that all about?” plots. Recently we suffered, to the point of despair, that dreary saga of the hospital that no one seemed able to put a stop to, so it dribbled on like a runny nose. And as for Robert’s Alien-style blood-vomit in the dining room… the less said about that, the better. There was Mysterious Bandaged Man from series two, who came and went again without so much as leaving an indent in the cushions. And I’m still not certain what happened to Edith’s charming, presentable editor-swain Michael

Gregson, apart from Something Bad in Germany that her dad was told about in another room. Then there was the endless story of Who Killed Mr Green (Anna’s attacker). It might have been Bates, it might have been Anna. No one cared and we all rolled our eyes when that flipping police sergeant turned up yet again with another question about train tickets. But Downton had its delights – the Dowager Countess, Violet’s (Maggie Smith) acid drops (“What is a weekend?”), the assiduous selfbetterment of Mr Molesley (Kevin Doyle), the charm of Mrs Hughes and Mr Carson’s blooming love and the bustling capability of Mrs Patmore, who should have had a spin-off series. And it knew how to spring a surprise. Who could have guessed new dad Matthew would die in a car crash, leaving the nation sobbing into its turkey sandwiches on Christmas night 2012? Things like that just aren’t supposed to happen. Yet they did. Maybe Downton Abbey is never supposed to end. But it will, and for all its strangeness and its flaws, we will miss it.

JESSICA FELLOWES AUTHOR AND NIECE OF CREATOR JULIAN FELLOWES

When Lady Edith turns up at the Drewes’ cottage to claim back her daughter, Marigold, the acting in that scene — by Laura Carmichael as Edith and Emma Lowndes [right] and Andrew Scarborough [as Margie and Timothy Drewe] — is nuanced and utterly heartbreaking. In researching the background to that plotline I learnt that adoption was not legally formalised until 1926 and then only for that reason — to stop mothers from turning up and claiming back their children. So the scene is also rooted in historical truth, as is so much of Downton. For all the nostalgic pleasure it gives, the production is not afraid to remind us that the good old days weren’t always so good.

ALASTAIR STEWART

GARETH NEAME EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

The First World War haunts the early episodes; and remembrance provides the most poignant scenes. A war memorial is to be erected; the Earl of Grantham offers a plot, but the village want Mr Carson [Jim Carter, below] to chair the committee. It flusters Robert: “They don’t want me.” It shatters the Dowager’s view of order: “Your father always told the village what they wanted.” An embarrassed Carson is eventually persuaded. The issue of Mrs Patmore’s nephew, Archie Philpotts, tops off this tableau of a changing order. Shot for cowardice, Archie cannot have his name inscribed alongside those who “stood their ground and fought for King and country”, as Carson puts it. Lord Grantham resolves the issue by installing a separate plaque to the memory of Archie: a compromise, but an act of noblesse oblige that pleases Mrs Patmore. As the Dowager Countess says, “A lack of compassion can be as vulgar as an excess of tears.” No white feathers, but there are a few tears, there is compassion, and a further resetting of the old order.

She’s incredibly unlikeable at times, snobbish, selfish and opinionated, but Lady Mary [Michelle Dockery, below] is my favourite character and it’s one of her scenes with Matthew I always go back to. When she sees him off at the station, back to the war, in season two, she knows she loves him, she knows he’s engaged to somebody else and that she’s lost him and that they may never see each other again. There is so much emotion. For all those reasons, killing Matthew off was hard. I remember our post-production supervisor, who loved Mary and Matthew, going stone silent and then bursting into tears when she saw the car accident scene and I thought, “This is what 12 million people will be like on Christmas Day.” It was a bit of a concern, and pretty cruel of us. Downton is one of those shows viewers have invested years in — right from the off Julian and I saw it as a sort of soap opera — and they’re going to miss that world. I’m going to. Most of all I’m going to mourn not knowing what happens to baby George when he’s the Earl of Grantham and running the estate in — when would that be — the 1960s! I guess we’re never going to know…

KIRSTY LANG DOWNTON FAN I can date my infatuation with Downton to the first series and Lady Mary’s indiscretion with a dashing Turkish diplomat. I remember the tension of thinking, “Will she or won’t she?” as he slips into her bedchamber. I think I leapt up and screamed when he then drops dead in flagrante delicto! And as the body is dragged down the corridor by Anna, Mary’s loyal maid, I realised how far Julian Fellowes was prepared to go to hook his audience. AS TOLD TO ALEXIA SKINITIS

LOVE IS A MYSTERY Ben Whishaw as Danny with Edward Holcroft as Alex in London Spy

Aside from Danny’s youth, it’s his sexuality that defines his relationships – and I’d hazard London Spy turns out to be as much a love story as a thriller. As an actor building a career Whishaw has previously been fairly wary of defining his own sexuality publicly (he has been in a civil partnership with Australian composer Mark Bradshaw since 2012), but was Danny being gay a big motivating factor in taking the part? “Sure, it was a factor,” he says. “Of course it was. I like the fact that it is a given – Danny’s just a gay guy who meets a guy – and it’s not first and foremost a study of sexuality. I like that. Tom is a brilliant writer because he’s just as interested in psychology as he is in plot, so the

t’s over a decade since Whishaw was wowing audiences as Hamlet in the evenings (six months out of Rada, aged 23, he was cast as the Prince of Denmark by Trevor Nunn in his 2004 Old Vic production, about which the Telegraph’s Charles Spencer wrote, “This is the kind of evening of which legends are made”) while days were devoted to filming Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker’s cultlike C4 satire of the pre-hipster generation, Nathan Barley. Whishaw played sad-sack office whipping-boy Pingu, who had barely a line to speak. I tell him that in my humble opinion Q is clearly Pingu’s professional revenge. He beams. “I hadn’t thought of that before. That’s brilliant!” We reminisce about Barley’s fine cast (including Benedict Cumberbatch – briefly – and Richard Ayoade). “It was a bit ahead of its time, really,” he says. “I think people would recognise it for what it was much more e

his month’s busiest actor in the business is also one of its most talented. Post-Hamlet, Whishaw’s youthfully brazen verisimilitude kickstarted a decade’s-worth of dazzling career choices: the lead in 2006’s Perfume, a doomed Sebastian Flyte in the 2008 Brideshead Revisited, John Keats in Jane Campion’s Bright Star (during which he met his partner), not to mention Cloud Atlas and the voice of the eponymous bear in last year’s family hit Paddington.

MORE THAN A WATCH Q (Ben Whishaw) has a special present for Bond (Daniel Craig) in Spectre

Redmayne in The Danish Girl and as Herman Melville in Ron Howard’s seafaring blockbuster In the Heart of the Sea. But first, there’s the on-going “bonkersness” of being part of the Bond franchise – for which, he tells me, he was “booked for five or six months, so they can call you when they need you”. In the event, he filmed for “maybe 20 days. But I only did five days on the last one, so…” A promotion, of sorts? He nods. “It is bonkers. You walk up the red carpet and everyone’s screaming and flashing cameras at you and then you go out the back door of the cinema and nobody looks at you twice. Crazy. But it’s not real – I go home in the evenings and lead a normal life – it’s just a sort of frenzy that’s enjoyable. I always think it could all sort of end any time, so…” He shrugs. Time is called on our interview. I tell him I’d like to see one of his two currently released movies this very evening but can’t decide which. I hand him a ten pence piece. Would he toss a coin? Whishaw grins:

“OK, heads it’s Lobster, tails, Suffragette’.’ He flips. It’s heads. “Is that a good call?” I ask. He nods and grins. “I think it’s really good, yeah. I really love that film.” As we shake hands, he is effectively removing his Danny head and preparing to return to the “frenzy” by replacing it with his Q one. With so many different versions of his head gracing our screens the trajectory of Ben Whishaw’s professional journey looks, like Danny’s, certain to remain both unpredictable and thrilling.

I’m nearly middle-aged! Age is weird but I think I might have reached the point… well, let’s say I loved doing this series but I don’t think I’d be interested in doing another thing with someone of that age, because I’m more interested in what’s going on in my life now. You’re just in a different place when you’re 35. It’s not necessarily conscious but you’re drawing on your own life. And it’s not that I’m looking for stuff that is like me – but pretending to be young is maybe something I’m not interested in any more.” There is a brief pause and an added “Yeah!” Listening to Whishaw’s slow, considered speech, it is as though having forced himself to go on the record he is, right here and now in this (suitably) greige and stylishly middle-aged hotel room, turning his back on his youth. In which case, bring on the bald wigs and the stooping; the youngest-ever King Lear is clearly just around the corner.

MasterChef: the Professionals Tuesday—Thursday 8.00pm BBC2

Marcus Wareing The Michelin-starred chef owns three top restaurants What made you want to be a chef ? I grew up with food around me – my father was a fruit-and-veg merchant, my older brother is a chef and my mum was a good cook. She always had a hot meal on the table. She wasn’t the most adventurous, but it was the 70s, and it didn’t help that my father wanted everything overcooked – there was no rare meat or al dente vegetables – it was all cooked to death.

Can’t stand

What makes a good chef ? A huge amount of sacrifice! If you want to be at the top of fine dining, if you want to be noticed, you’ve got to put in the hours, week after week, for months, years… It’s relentless. It becomes your life rather than a job. Can you succeed without that dedication? There are a lot of young people who work for me who mention their time off, their girlfriend, their boyfriend, this wedding, a night out, and I’m like, “No!” And I can say that because I never did it. I grew up in Southport and started working when I was 11 years old. I would finish school at 3pm and go to the warehouse with my dad and work until 6pm. I was in a local restaurant kitchen on my weekends at 15 and I loved it. Are all top chefs that committed? No, and do they still succeed? Of course they do. But you can also be incredibly talented and get nowhere. I have chefs who could progress up to sous chef or head chef, but they also want a life, and that tells me they’re not going to reach the serious pinnacles of this industry. Some people love food and just decide to open their own restaurant… That’s right – and I have to question that. It worries me when I see young chefs on MasterChef who have no classical cooking foundation, because at some point they will be exposed. If you’re in a competition, you should already know the basics. I’m not there to teach them. Although we do consider that they’re in a very unusual and difficult environment, and we’re not there to scare the life out of them.

the heat? Bullying bosses, 16-hour days… What it really takes to be a master chef

Monica Galetti The star of Michel Roux Jr’s kitchen is going it alone What are you looking for on MasterChef? A love for the industry. It’s all about being dedicated to your craft, thriving on it. It has to be all you think about, all you dream about, especially in your early years. It’s such a selfish industry to be in. How important are the basic skills? Essential. How to make a simple sauce, how to make a quick pastry dish… those are the skills upon which you build your repertoire as a chef. So when it comes down to the skills tests, I do get frustrated when they don’t know certain things, and I feel they are not taking the competition seriously enough. I take it very seriously. But I’m also conscious of where chefs have come from, the type of restaurants they work in. I’ve been fortunate over the last 15 years, to have worked in kitchens where everything is made from scratch, so the skill base is being refreshed constantly – butchery, fishery, pastry-making… Some of these chefs work in pubs where the budget is completely different and a lot of the meat is brought in, so maybe they don’t have those butchery skills. What I do expect from them is respect for the ingredient, even if they’ve not handled it before – treat it properly, don’t waste it. Someone has grown that produce, someone has reared that beautiful animal. That animal has given its life so you can cook it, so don’t you disrespect it. What are you like in the kitchen? I am very serious. You know if you’ve p****d me off or if you’ve messed up, so you’d best not. I don’t beat around the bush, but at the end of the day I’ll come and pat you on the back and say, “Well done, you got through it.” And that’s how Michel [Roux Jr] has treated me throughout my time in his kitchen. He’s not a physical chef, he doesn’t beat anyone, and he has stopped many a chef from doing that. I’ve seen him pull back chefs from that, he’s been a great mentor. It’s about getting the best out of your team, and there is a point where you raise your voice because they’ve messed up during the service, but the next day you start again.

Marcus on his mentor

‘The more Gordon cared about you, the tougher he was’ Gordon Ramsay was your mentor. Did you enjoy mentoring young chefs? I do now, although as a head chef at 25 I didn’t. I believed I could do it all on my own. But I’ve realised that if you start building enthusiasm around you it can be very rewarding. Giving someone constructive criticism and watching them develop is phenomenal.

What was Gordon like with you? People ask me what working for Gordon Ramsay was like – it was hell’s kitchen – but that was because the guy cared. When someone gives you a lot of attention, drives you, pushes and prods you, but also picks you up when you’re down – you may not always like it, but it means he cares about you. And I always said that about Gordon – the tougher he is on you, the more he cares. Would I be the chef I am today without that approach? No chance.

If you come into my kitchen and are rude or cook badly, you’re going to p*** me off

‘

’

Are you the same in your kitchen? When I put my chef ’s jacket on it’s my uniform. I feel like a soldier in it. I press it, it’s starched and it’s respected. And I expect every chef that wears it to do exactly the same. If you don’t, take it off and get another job. Simple. If you come into my kitchen and are disrespectful or rude, if you cook badly or I teach you something, but you do it your own way, of course you’re going to p*** me off. I’ve got a job to do. And I’ve got people paying a lot of money to eat well. But I’m 45 now and have calmed down and matured. I’ve got three children of my own, and some days I think, “That’s someone’s daughter or son.” When I was younger, I’d have driven a bulldozer through them. Also, chefs today are looking for a calm environment.

REX

So what’s changed? Kitchens used to be behind closed doors. You were a second-class citizen as a cook, because it was hot, sweaty, long hours and everyone swore at each other. But then chef ’s tables and open kitchens became popular and chefs have become personalities in their own right. Do you know what chefs used to do to get noticed? They used to have a fight. How many times did you read that Gordon Ramsay had an argument with Antony Worrall-Thompson? You had a few with Gordon, too! I learnt from the master! The biggest master of all was Marco Pierre White. He’d come out of the kitchen [and say something] and… BOOM, and it was on the front page.

Are calmer kitchens more effective? My chefs had better training from me then than they do now. It was unforgettable. Now, just by talking to them, they get it done, but whether it’s actually sunk in I don’t know… I don’t think so, personally, because I see the same chef make the same mistake a week later. The fear’s not there.

Are there more women in kitchens now? Without a doubt – because kitchens aren’t about 16-hour days any more and there is a work-life balance… They call it “refreshing”, I think it slightly interferes with everything. Some of the best chefs in my company are women – they bring a fabulous balance FRIENDLY, STILL? Marcus with Gordon Ramsay and an intelligent approach. The only female chef I in 2001

remember from when I was younger, who stood the test of time is Angela Hartnett. When she came to do a trial, Gordon said, “Right, let’s give her a job. Let’s have a sweepstake – how long will she last?” No one gave her beyond a month; I gave her two weeks. She lasted a lot longer than that! Solid girl. Is working on television something that you’ve always wanted to do? No! When Gordon started doing it I remember thinking he was fabulous, but I never wanted to be this big TV superstar like him – how could I compete with that? Larger than life, three Michelin stars, big empire, even bigger character. So I just got on with what I do best, run kitchens. Somehow the MasterChef producer saw something in me. FOR MORE MONICA SEE P23P

Monica on kitchen punch-ups

‘I’ve hit a wall, but not a person’ Are kitchens still violent? No, it’s not acceptable any more because you have human resources, but it was acceptable back in my day to be hit by your chef de partie or your head chef. Never by Michel. I didn’t accept it when I got hit, and afterwards said, “Don’t touch me again.” There’s no reason why anyone should be burnt with a pallet knife or set on fire for something stupid. Unless they did it to me first… I’ve been so angry that I’ve hit a wall, but not a person. I think it’s been weaned out. You have to evolve from that – there’s no place for bullying. Why are professional kitchens so aggressive? Someone’s reputation is on the line, so you’ve got to replicate his vision and every grain of salt that’s not meant to be in a plate of food, he will taste it. As chefs you challenge each other to be as good, or better, than the guy cooking next to you. If you’re good, you get promoted quickly.

Are you comfortable in that environment? Being in a kitchen full of men doesn’t throw me – I thrive on it! I have four brothers and I was a bit of a tomboy when I was younger. There haven’t ever been many women in the kitchens I have worked in, so I would say that 80 per cent of my friends are men. Why aren’t there more female chefs? There are more women coming into it now. And in the kitchen we’re all equals – once you’ve got a jacket on, you’re a chef. It’s not about gender – it’s your ability to cook. The problem is that at a certain point women have to decide how much they want their career v having a family and spending time with family. That’s it. There’s no BS about it – the truth is, you’ve got to put it first to do well. I’ve seen many amazing chefs, girls, come into the kitchen and then give it up to be with their boyfriend. Would he do that for her? Hmm…

Don’t put a man before your career – they never put you first

‘

’

MENTOR Monica was senior sous chef at Michel Roux Jr’s Le Gavroche

Did you find it easy to make that decision? It wasn’t easy. It hurt like hell to leave my partner out in New Zealand for two years, but I did. My mum always said, “Don’t put a man before your career because they never put you first.” And it was true. Except for the last one! Saying that, my career took a back seat for the last seven years because I wanted to be a hands-on mother for my daughter. But now I’m switching up to the next gear. I left Le Gavroche earlier in the year and I’m opening my own restaurant next year. I’m working on a book, I’m consulting for massive companies, I teach at a cooking school, and I’m trying to get as much precious time in with my little girl before I go back to 16-hour days. Would you like her to be a chef? I love the industry, the buzz that I get out of it, and I know she would love it too, but I would hate for her to have to make the decision between family and career. But then again, all women have to make that choice, whether they are a doctor, a lawyer, a police officer… What made you want to be a chef ? My parents always worked. My mum worked three jobs at one point to put bread on the table – and they relied on me to cook for my siblings from a very early age, which I enjoyed. I started working in a golf club kitchen at 17 – I went from pot washer to cooking fine dining there. The minute I walked into that professional kitchen, I knew that was where I belonged. Was TV something that you wanted to do? It was the last thing on my mind! But Michel recommended four of us from Le Gavroche for a screen test, and I got chosen. I came into it so unprepared and treated it like we were in a professional kitchen, where you say things in the heat of the moment and then move on. I said things that are taken as kitchen banter, presuming everyone understood my world – things like: “If you did that in my kitchen I’d slap you with a salmon.” I wouldn’t literally do it, but viewers thought I would!

The typewriter An eccentric woman inspired Alan Bennett to write The Lady in the Van – tapped out, like this fascinating piece, on his ancient typewriter

n this technology-obsessed world of superfast this and wireless that, there is something cheering about the thought of arguably Britain’s greatest living playwright noisily clacking away on the keys of an old typewriter, inky ribbon and all. Alan Bennett has steadfastly refused to go digital. So in this week’s Radio Times, we decided to publish his piece recalling the subject of his new film The Lady in the Van just as he submitted it, in all its typewritten glory. Nigel Hawthorne once said that Bennett’s script for his 1991 stage play The Madness of George III appeared to have been written on about eight different machines of “the most ancient variety”. It seems little has changed in 24 years, although Bennett admits it’s becoming difficult to get typewriters mended. Now 81, Bennett did once own a computer,

but after it was stolen he didn’t bother to replace it. These days he says that when he’s not typing he writes longhand and asks people at the theatre to transcribe from pieces of paper that he has “stuck together”. The Lady in the Van looks at the curious relationship between a man and the eccentric woman living in a van parked in his garden. Adapted from Bennett’s play, it stars Maggie Smith, Alex Jennings, Dominic Cooper, James Corden and Frances de la Tour. PAUL REVOIR The Lady in the Van is released on Friday 13 November

versus Cheam. What we like. What scares us (firearms, tipper trucks). What excites us. Our future and our plans. Usually we laugh, but one day we got serious. After a few breaks on that bench, we took the trouble to turn and look at the small print on the brass plate (below). We both fell silent. Saffron was what, 12 or 13? That’s terribly young. Karen looked up the story on her phone. Saffron wanted to dance. But she did indeed die aged only 12, soon after being accepted by the school where we train.

MY SPECIAL GIRL

he little girl’s symptoms made medical staff think it was pneumonia. Lack of appetite, exhaustion and a bad cough were mistakenly treated with antibiotics. But no one was really to blame. She had a cancer of the kidney so rare that most doctors never see a single case. Because people have two kidneys, it can envelope one (as it did with Saffron) without being detected. The tiny dancer collapsed in hospital and died soon after, on 25 March 2007. It made us pause and think about our day and how lucky we are. We are in a dance contest that sometimes feels quite serious, but of course it is not. The Strictly bubble is pure fun – the kind of fun Saffron would have had if she had lived. I want her parents to know we use her bench. The school very kindly tried to contact them, but drew a blank. Saffron, I bet you would have loved meeting Karen. We will be thinking of you when we dance, and all the dances you missed.

After reading Jeremy’s words, RT tracked down Saffron’s mother, Carol London, to her new home in France. “It brings back all the emotions and memories,” she said. “Saffron had just started school at Sylvia Young and she developed a very rare cancer and died within four months. It was devastating. She was the most amazing singer and pianist and dancer — everything. Sylvia Young told me they were dedicating a bench to her and doing a scholarship in her name. She was such a special girl.” Carol said she moved to France — where she is still a massive fan of Strictly — after Saffron’s death. “I moved abroad because it was just so hard in London with all the memories. You try to be fine because you know she would want you to carry on. It is just unnatural for a child to die before you, as a mother. It is so hard.” When told what Jeremy had written in RT, she thanked him, saying, “That’s lovely. She was just full of dreams and ambitions for the future. And she would love that.” PAUL REVOIR

Peep Show Wednesday 10.00pm C4

How we’ve

changed

There’ve ‘ been points where we’ve been sick of the sight of each other

David Mitchell and Robert Webb began Peep Show as 20-somethings – now they want to play being middle-aged for laughs

n a TV studio at the end of the Central line on the London Underground, David Mitchell and Robert Webb consider, well, the end of the line. Here on the capital’s western edges is where Peep Show has come to die. It’s early September and filming on the ninth and final run of the cult Channel 4 show is entering its last week. Tomorrow, awardwinning Olivia Colman, a cast regular for the first seven series, returns to film her farewell scenes. This time next week flat-share chums Mark and Jeremy, the sad sack “heroes” created by writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, will have gone to the great sitcom graveyard. How will the actors who have played the pitiably deluded “El Dude Brothers” since 2003 feel on the last day on set? “Gutted,” says Webb immediately, nostrils flaring with just a suggestion of his “incredibly petulant” character. “It’s a heck of a thing ’cause we’ve done it for 12 years.” “I think it will be very sad,” says Mitchell with the mournful cast of his “tweedy idiot” on-screen alter ego. When we first met the pair of ageing graduates from the fictitious Dartmouth University, they lived in an ex-council block in Croydon. Mark was an office drone and Jeremy a wannabe musician, but what united them was their desperate social lives and even more desperate romantic circumstances. In what will be the 49th episode of Peep Show we find them, still, frankly, losers. They are in a huff with each other after

a picnic that was “electric” in all the wrong ways where Jez declared his love for Mark’s girlfriend, Dobby. They haven’t spoken for three months and now there’s a cuckoo in the nest – Mark has a new flatmate, Jerry, played by comedian Tim Key, and a “bitter, envious, furious” Jeremy has vowed to eject him. So, nine hilarious series on, they have, alas, not gone very far. Yes, there has been some personal maturation (Mark has had a child, albeit not one that lives with him), but also some catastrophic missteps (Jeremy once ate a dog, albeit not willingly… not entirely willingly). Yet the pair remain stuck together, bound by what Webb calls “inertia”. Or, as Mitchell characterises it, “Nothing’s gone right enough for either of them to get away.” But this, they agree, is the right time to say goodbye, as Mark and Jeremy flail towards the milestone of their 40th birthdays. “Sam and Jesse have been saying, and we’ve

been agreeing, it’d be nice to come back to them in a decade or so,” reveals Webb. “But this has definitely got to be the end of Peep Show in its initial incarnation. Because it’s about young men. And we’re now middle-aged, just about. This series addresses…” “…the ageing process,” interjects Mitchell with the thought-finishing synchronicity that comes with being in a career-long double-act. “But if new people came and just watched this series, it

’

would totally make sense. And then hopefully they’d go back and watch the ones where we look younger.” “’Cause we were,” sighs Webb, as if he almost can’t believe it himself. Mitchell, 41, and Webb, 43, have been comedy partners since they met at Cambridge University’s Footlights. Post-graduation they had some success writing and performing “bits and bobs” in TV and radio sketch shows. What kind of double act were they when Peep Show came knocking ten years into their career? “A very relieved double act,” smiles Webb. “But I’d like to think we’ve stayed the same. We were both nudging 30 by the time the show came along, so it’s not like we went mad with fame and power.” “Also,” continues Mitchell, “if we’d had that break in our early 20s, we’d have probably been a bit more blasé about it – ‘this breaking into comedy thing doesn’t seem that hard.’ But we were aware that it was hard, and that sitcoms can go down as well as up, as they say.”

heirs was a gentle rise over eight series of Peep Show: a solid if unremarkable million viewers every time, bolstered by passionate fans, a healthy afterlife on DVD and a handful of comedy awards, including two Baftas. Accordingly, there were no crashing-the-Lamborghini moments of fame-inspired recklessness. Unless we count Mitchell’s class-A addiction to appearing on panel shows. “When it was really going great guns, we were too busy to go mental,” notes Webb. “And we were both the kind of people who, even before we left our 20s, wanted to go to the kind of pub where you get to have a sit down.” “What it meant for us really,” Webb continues, “was access to mortgages where we could buy slightly larger places to live.” It is indeed with regard to their circumstances that Mitchell and Webb can divide their lives into pre- and post-Peep Show. e

JUST FOR LAUGHS

itchell met his future wife, newspaper columnist and Only Connect presenter Victoria Coren, at a film premiere in 2007; their daughter Barbara was born earlier this year. Presumably being a “telly couple” can’t help but ratchet up the fame quotient? “It increases the slight self-consciousness [in public],” he acknowledges. “If you are ever seen to use the fact of your being part of a couple where you’re both a bit known to get anything, in the long run the press punish you.” Nonetheless, although the concept seems illfitting for these almost pathologically unassuming blokes, some Peep Show-catalysed “celebrity” has crashed into their lives.

Webb recounts how, “We were asked to do the voices of baddie robots in Doctor Who [in 2012]. I did mine camp, knowing how much it would annoy David, as he’d have to do the same thing. But one of the unexpected consequences of that is that it doubles the amount of time it takes me to get out of a stage door when I’m doing a [theatre] show – because Doctor Who fans come along with pictures of robots that they want you to sign.” Webb may have appeared on the stage away from Mitchell in Jeeves and Wooster and Mitchell hasn’t shaken that panel show habit. But in the last decade they’ve also made a film together (Magicians), toured, starred in those annoying Apple Mac ads, written a sketch show (the BBC’s That Mitchell and Webb Look, another Bafta-winner) and starred in other

comedy series together (The Ambassadors). Do they ever get on each other’s nerves? “There have been points where we’ve been working together so intensely that we’re sick of the sight of each other,” concedes Mitchell. “But there’s never been a point where we’ve seriously contemplated stopping working together. We clicked when we met, and very quickly felt that, as a double-act, we were greater than the sum of our parts. So while Peep Show was our big break in terms of people knowing who we are, our greatest break was starting to work together as a team,” he concludes, gazing deeply into his partner’s now-moist eyes.

efore they hurry back to set (and before there’s some serious manhugging that’s frankly embarrassing for all concerned): what ambitions remain? “To keep doing what we’re doing,” replies Mitchell. “We love doing British TV comedy. Neither of us have great ambitions to go to America – although I’m not saying we would turn down a juicy part.” “We want to be the old farts sitting around on BBC2 and Channel 4,” affirms Webb, “getting in the way of younger comedians.” Mitchell likes the sound of that. “If in a few decades we can be in the position Barry Cryer’s in now, we’ll be very happy. He’s an inspiring figure in British comedy.” What about this new C4 sitcom of which we hear rumours, written for them by Simon Blackwell, who has worked on The Thick of It and Veep and collaborated on Peep Show? “It’s a good idea,” says Webb, enigmatically. “Very different from Peep Show,” says Mitchell, coquettishly. “It’s very much a comedy about middle-aged men.” Do they play a pair of dysfunctional detectives with drinking problems? “No!” exclaims Mitchell, eyes widening, “but now I like Simon’s idea less. That sounds amazing…” CRAIG MCLEAN

f Mitchell (fondly): “Rob hasn’t massively changed. Although he’d admit himself he’s lost a little hair.” Webb (ruefully): “There’s been some hair under the bridge.” Mitchell (cat-that-got-the-cream smile): “But what he wasn’t when we started the show, and I wasn’t either, was married or a father.” Webb (still-hurting grimace): “I was recently dumped when we did the first series. That was the kind of support that she was showing as we did our first Channel 4 sitcom.” But things turned out for the good. Webb first encountered his wife of eight years, actor/writer Abigail Burdess, on Radio 4 sketch show Concrete Cow. They have two daughters aged four and six. “She came on, her friend was in the audience and she told her that every time she came up to the microphone, I was staring at her bottom. That alerted Abi to the idea that I had shown an interest.”

he first inkling that Sean Bean is as outspoken as his roles comes at the press conference for his new series, The Frankenstein Chronicles. “There’s a lot about this story that resonates today,” he tells a suddenly electrified roomful of hacks. “From the social issues to the cover-ups. It all sounds familiar and nothing’s changed. Which whitewash do you want to talk about? Jimmy Savile and Margaret Thatcher making him a sir? It’s something that’s systematic about the behaviour of those in power, who are protected and untouchable. It’s good to see them exposed.” Later, Bean explains to me in his soft South Yorkshire accent that his character in Chronicles, Inspector John Marlott, is “an ordinary man who has been thrown into that elite world and who challenges these people. He’s disgusted by a cover-up and he won’t give in to it.” He’s investigating the sinister kidnapping of street

urchins, apparently to chop them up and bring them back to some sort of ghoulish life. Bean, looking as chiselled as ever at 56, shares more than a stubborn nature with Marlott. Both have humble births and both move in elevated society, feeling a little like outsiders. Born on a Sheffield council estate the son of a metal fabrication shop owner, Shaun Bean stumbled into drama classes while taking a welding course in Rotherham before winning a place at Rada, and re-spelling his name Sean. This was in the days

when Sheffield City Council thumbed its nose at the Conservative government, and even the local brewers, Wards, had a huge poster greeting rail travellers from London saying, “Welcome to the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire”. “It was very firmly a socialist kind of city at the time – with huge benefits, I must add,” he gives a smile. “Not least the free bus journey. It’s just a shame about the architecture.” Describing himself as “still old Labour at heart”, he’s glad to see Jeremy Corbyn in charge of the party. “I think he speaks a lot of sense,” he says. “I don’t mean I want to go back to the 80s, the strikes and stuff like that, but he’s sticking up for the working-class man and it’s time we heard that voice again.”

NORTHERN STAR As Ned Stark in Game of Thrones, shockingly beheaded in series one

t was also in Sheffield that he first fell in love with the horror thriller. “When I was younger I used to watch all the black-and-white Draculas and Frankensteins,” he recalls. “I saw The Exorcist at the cinema when I was quite young, maybe 14. When I went back home, my mum and dad weren’t in so I had to wait for them on the main road. I were too scared to enter the house.” While The Frankenstein Chronicles is Gothic, it isn’t a retelling of the Frankenstein story, but it is set around the time the original book was published and does involve a reanimated corpse or two. Bean met creator Benjamin Ross before there was even a draft script and was drawn by the dark vision of 19th-century London and “the political, social and religious issues of the time”. It’s something he feels is lacking in today’s film and television. “Thanks to American interest in a very rosy view of upper-class Britain, real stories about

working people aren’t getting told,” he leans forward to emphasise his point. “No disrespect to the actors involved, of course. But, there are other stories. This Is England was great – and you remember Gary Oldman doing The Firm? Magnificent. Jimmy McGovern – I love his writing, and I’m a big fan of him and Alan Clarke. That’s my personal choice, and that’s what I’m good at. But it’s a make-believe view of England that our friends across the pond seem to prefer.” Either way, what every scriptwriter seems to prefer is something fatal happening to Sean Bean’s characters. Marlott, for instance, is haunted by death. He’s been dropped from a satellite dish in Goldeneye, peppered with arrows as Boromir in The Lord of the Rings, and decapitated in Game of Thrones. According to Nerdist.com, only three actors (Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi and John Hurt) have died on screen more often. This has led to the #DontKillSeanBean campaign, with clips of his many deaths on DontKillSeanBean.com. “I have died quite a few times, to be fair,” he says with a grin. “I’ve seen that reel of clips – it sounds a bit macabre, but I watched that back, and I’d forgotten some of the scenes I’d died in.” oes it give him pause for thought? “I didn’t take it to heart,” he laughs. Though becoming a grandfather does, he admits. He’s been married four times, to childhood sweetheart Debra James, Corrie star Melanie Hill, Sharpe co-star Abigail Cruttenden and actress Georgina Sutcliffe, and he’s now engaged to Ashley Moore. He has two daughters, Lorna and Molly, from his second marriage, plus Evie, with his third wife. It’s Molly who gave birth in September. “Obviously I’m delighted I’m a grandfather but I guess it takes a little while to digest,” he says. “You start thinking, ‘Oh, I’m halfway over the natural life span. So this is the last bit and I’d better enjoy it.’” In The Frankenstein Chronicles, renegade surgeons battle to defy death. Bean compares them to biotech firm Calico, which aims to slow then prevent ageing. “Given the option, I’d probably be tempted...” Bean says with a grin. He continues: “I’m in the US a lot and I can see President Obama trying to push through free healthcare and the deal with Iran. I can’t understand why people are fighting against them – they’re both great achievements. Everybody wants to leave a legacy, don’t they?” And what’s Bean’s ideal legacy? “I don’t know, really. For some reason, the parts I play, like Boromir or Ned Stark, have a life online long afterwards. I keep seeing, what do you call them – memes? “One does not simply ask for a drink” instead of “One does not simply walk into Mordor” – that sort of thing. They’ll probably be my unintended legacy. It’s a shame, as a Sheffield United supporter, that Boromir appears in West Ham colours.” STEPHEN ARMSTRONG

FA Cup: FC United of Manchester v Chesterfield Town Monday 7.00pm (kick-off 7.45pm) BT Sport 2

Day of the minnows The FA Cup is still full of magic – and money he FA Cup, contested since 1871, is the oldest and most revered club knockout competition in the football world. Since the final was first televised in 1938 (Preston North End 1, Huddersfield Town 0), the FA Cup has long been the centrepiece of the nation’s sporting viewing. Strange, then, to hear Mark Cole, lead executive for BBC football, admit that the FA Cup has lost some of its allure. Try telling that to the fans of non-league clubs who will see their teams playing this weekend and Monday (6–9 November) in the first round of the competition. To be fair to Cole, he’s at pains to stress “it’s on the way back” – because, he claims, it’s been back on the BBC since 2014 (it shares rights with BT Sport), which is able to “touch people that aren’t football mad”. As you might expect, two Manchester clubs loom large in the broadcasters’ plans. But not Manchester United and Manchester City; rather it’s the city’s minnows, Salford City FC and FC United of Manchester. Having said that, both clubs are to some extent defined by their relationship with the behemoth at Old Trafford – Manchester United. FC United was formed by disaffected Manchester United supporters who objected to the takeover of their club by the American businessman Malcolm Glazer.

Salford City, who play Notts County (Friday 6 November BBC2, not Wales), became known nationally because the club is part-owned by five former Manchester United greats – Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs (who still works at Man Utd as assistant manager), Phil and Gary Neville and Nicky Butt. The club was the subject of the two-part BBC1 documentary Class of 92: Out of Their League, which captured the Manchester United stars’ first season in charge. It’s a useful piece of cross-promotion, Cole admits, as people will have got to know some of the players and RadioTimes 7–13 November 2015

management from the documentary. FC United of Manchester, whose game against Chesterfield Town will be shown on BT Sport on Monday, have had a less cosy relationship with the BBC. n the previous, qualifying round the BBC wanted to move forward the kick-off time for its tie against Sporting Khalsa so the broadcaster could stream the game through a new Match of the Day app. FC United refused and snippily accused the BBC, which wanted to chat to the manager, fans and substitutes during the game, of “trying to ape or outdo some of the worst excesses of their competitors”. Politcs aside, the revenue earned in an FA Cup run can be life-saving for non-league clubs. If teams win in the first round, they get £18,000 in prize money – but they receive a fee of £67,500 from the FA if the game is chosen for a live TV broadcast. The prize money rises to six-figure sums later in the competition.

Cole says this amount of TV money for a smaller team can “change a club’s life”. He adds, “That is why you have to be responsible with your match selections because you have to do it on good editorial grounds – you can’t just feel sorry for a club because you know it would change their lives.” So, while a good back-story is interesting, as in the case of both Manchester’s minnows, Cole says the first consideration when choosing which games to broadcast in the early stages of the Cup is the chance of a giantkilling. If clubs such as Salford FC and FC United do make it through to the third round of the FA Cup, however, that’s where the real windfalls are in prospect. When the Premier League clubs enter the draw, the clubs get to share in the gate receipts – which is what happened to Cambridge United at Manchester United last season. Drawing Manchester United could make Salford City FC a tidy £1 million. But if that happened, who would Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs support? PAUL REVOIR

ACROSS THE SEA In Brooklyn, Ronan plays a young Irishwoman in New York

MAARTEN DE BOER / CONTOUR BY GETTY IMAGES; ALLSTAR; REX

ctress Saoirse Ronan didn’t need to research her latest film role, she lived it. Brooklyn, based on Colm Toibin’s bestselling novel, is about a young girl who leaves a small town in Ireland for New York, in search of a better life. “This is the story of my people. There’s barely a family in Ireland that doesn’t have someone who emigrated. My Mam and Da were economic migrants,” says the 21-year-old in a broad Irish accent seemingly unaffected by almost a decade in the Hollywood fast lane. Saoirse was just 13 when she earned an Oscar nomination for Atonement in which she starred alongside Keira Knightley. Since then she has appeared in numerous high-profile films including Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel and action thriller Hanna. But on meeting her, like any normal, well brought-up young person, the first thing she does is provide me with technical assistance. I have a new phone and don’t know how to turn on the recording app. She takes it from me, presses a few buttons in rapid succession, then hands it back with a big smile across her lightly freckled face. We start by talking about Toibin’s beautifully wrought novel. It starts with Eilis, the heroine, waving goodbye to her beloved sister and mother as she reluctantly boards a ship to America. She has to leave because there’s no work in 1950s Ireland. But on arrival in New York, she aches with homesickness.

This

story

Saoirse Ronan’s mum and dad were forced to leave Ireland for New York. Now she is reliving their ordeal, discovers Kirsty Lang

Don’t miss... Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt play the same assassin in time-bending thriller Looper, Saturday BBC2

Saoirse’s own parents made the same journey in the 1980s. Her dad started out labouring on building sites, while her mum worked as a nanny and a cleaner. “They lived in a terrible little apartment in the Bronx and because they were illegals, they were really badly treated and did some awful jobs.” She gets quite angry as she tells the stories passed down by her parents. There was a time

was like an open ‘Iwound, emotionally

’

when her mother went to clean a huge brownstone house on the Upper West Side for a rich old lady who then refused to pay her, claiming it was a trial run. “Another time my Da was called to the Waldorf Astoria because the hotel sewage pipes had burst and he had to literally shovel shit out of an elevator shaft for several hours.” Her father eventually got a job in a bar off Broadway frequented by actors. One day an Irish actor called Chris O’Neill came in and asked if he fancied a part in a play he was doing. It was a turning point for Paul Ronan. Within a few years he was a professional actor, often taking his young daughter on set with him. “If it wasn’t for Chris, neither of us would be acting today,” smiles Saoirse.

Atonement. Acting became a full-time occupation, taking the Ronan family to and fro across the Atlantic, although with a great deal more comfort and luxury than the first time around. About a year before she did Brooklyn, Saoirse moved to London to live in a flat on her own. “I needed to leave Ireland. I love it but I needed to be anonymous. “I was recognised quite a bit at home and I was very aware of growing up in an industry where everything is done for you. On a film you are picked up in the morning, you are told when you are working, your meals are provided, your clothes are washed for you and then, to go back to your mum and dad’s house where the same thing happens, it didn’t feel like a natural way to move into adulthood. So I told my parents I wanted to know how to pay my own bills, cook a meal, do my own washing – but it was tough.”

n London, she found anonymity but felt lonely and homesick. “By the time I did Brooklyn, I was like an open wound emotionally. I felt very vulnerable. It was the first time ever, professionally, where my personal life and my character’s life ran parallel in every way. It was like being forced to stare at yourself in a mirror close-up and not being able to look away.” The result is an extraordinary performance, which could put her in the running for another Oscar nomination. Saoirse shrugs at the thought and rolls her eyes. “Of course I’m glad they’re pushing it but I’m wary of this stuff. You can have loads of hype and nothing happens.” Next year she will move back to New York to make her debut on Broadway, playing Abigail in a new production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. It’s another rite of passage for the young actress who has grown up on a film set but never taken acting classes. “I will have to train my voice for the theatre but I feel it’s something I ought to do. Other actors have told me that there’s nothing better than being on stage when you have the audience eating out of your hand. That’s special.”

ithin a couple of years of Saoirse’s birth, the Ronans moved back to Ireland because they wanted to be closer to family and bring up their daughter in the countryside. In an extraordinary coincidence, they settled 20 minutes away from the small town of Enniscorthy, where Toibin grew up, and where the heroine of the book and the film (released in cinemas on Friday 6 November) comes from. As a little girl, Saoirse visited Enniscorthy on the weekends because it had a cinema and a sweet shop. She never imagined that one day her own face would be up on that big screen. “It was strange filming there. The day we wrapped, the mayor threw a big party and invited everyone from the town including my former primary school teacher who I hadn’t seen for years. They even created a sort of museum with photographs of the shoot.” In the mid 1990s when the Ronan family moved home, the economy was booming. By now, Paul Ronan was appearing in TV series such as Ballykissangel and The Tudors. His daughter was eight when she FAMILY TIES was cast alongside him in a primetime Saoirse with her medical drama on Irish television. actor father By the time she’d finished primary Paul Ronan and mother Monica school, Saoirse had been cast in

OUTSTANDING ★★★★ VERY GOOD

COMEDY DRAMA If you caught Paul Andrew Williams’s unflinching debut London to Brighton — an incendiary, violent, fast-moving crime thriller — you might not have been surprised when he followed it with two horror movies, The Cottage and Cherry Tree Lane. But in 2012 he took a left-turn, with this almost unbearably sentimental tale of oldies singing in a choir that should melt the heart of anyone in possession of one. Terence Stamp is the grumpy, refusenik husband of Vanessa Redgrave, who sings in a seniors’ glee club led by effervescent Gemma Arterton. He is convinced to take her place when her terminal illness prevents her taking part and the competition-driven thaw commences. The age-inappropriate antics of OAPs provide comedic uplift against this backdrop of grim reaping. Some of the laughs are too easy (grandads doing heavy metal devil signs; a robot dance requiring medical attention), but it put Williams on the path to his first romantic comedy, the Drew Barrymore September release Miss You Already. (UK/Ger 2012, some swearing, sexual references, HD) ?

The Captive Heart ★★★★ 7.55-9.30am BBC2

WAR British cinema produced many fine prisoner-of-war movies, but this, made within a year of the liberation of the camps, is one of the best. Perhaps the most notable thing about the production is the almost documentarylike re-creation of the boredom, frustration and claustrophobia of stalag life. Basil Dearden’s meticulous direction keeps melodrama at bay, but the real power of the piece is Michael (father of Vanessa) Redgrave’s superb performance as the frightened Czech whose deceptions arouse the suspicions of friend and foe alike. DP (UK 1946, BW)

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner ★★★★ 2.00-3.45pm BBC2

COMEDY DRAMA It has been said that Spencer Tracy treated Katharine Hepburn more harshly than schmaltzy legend might suggest. However, you would not guess it from this, their last movie together, in which the alliance works to dovetailing perfection. They’re

a rich couple whose liberal principles are tested by the proposed marriage of their daughter to a black doctor. As he is Sidney Poitier, there’s never any doubt about the outcome, but it’s worth watching as the acting is so good. The politics of racial equality might seem horribly out of date now, but this was daring for its time as, inconceivably, interracial marriage was illegal in some US states until the Supreme Court ruling of that year. TH (US 1967, HD)

Stepping Out ★★ 4.00-6.10pm Sony Entertainment TV

MUSICAL Lewis Gilbert’s rather humdrum hymn to tap and shuffle stars Liza Minnelli as a Broadway hoofer trying to transform a bunch of near-hopeless amateurs (including Julie Walters as a germ-obsessed housewife) into a crack dancing troupe. What you expect is precisely what you get from Gilbert, but, despite its sheer obviousness, this has pockets of great fun — especially from Shelley Winters as the cantankerous pianist who rolls her eyes at every missed step.

CRIME In this tense drama John Travolta stars as a museum security guard who resorts to holding children hostage after losing his job. It resembles a 1990s version of Ace in the Hole, with Dustin Hoffman as the newsman in need of a career boost who manipulates Travolta for his own ends.

A History of Violence ★★★★

10.10pm-12.05am Sky Atlantic

SCI-FI Rian Johnson is at the top of his game, confirmed to write and direct Star Wars Episode VIII. It’s been quite an ascent. After an arresting debut with high-school mystery Brick and a lamentable misfire, The Brothers Bloom, he rediscovered his form with this intricately plotted time-hopping sci-fi thriller. Loopers, we quickly discover, are hitmen paid in gold bars to assassinate victims sent back in time by crime bosses 30 years in the future, when time travel has been invented. (Stay with me, it’s worth the effort.) Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one such, hired to bump off someone who turns out to be himself from the future — played by Bruce Willis. You’ll soon find yourself going along with the mindbending parallel timelines, each having a bearing on the other, but at heart it’s a character-driven cat-and-mouse tale, with warm performances from the leads, Paul Dano and Emily Blunt. Up there with Twelve Monkeys, so Star Wars is in good hands. (US 2012, violence, swearing, some sexual references, nudity, HD)

THRILLER Although he plays it surprisingly straight for once, director David Cronenberg brings a dry wit and a satirical edge to this dark thriller. Life is sweet as apple pie for local diner owner Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) but when he becomes a media hero after preventing a hold-up, a disfigured thug (Ed Harris) surfaces with henchmen in tow insisting he is an old buddy from the Mob. It’s an “is-he-or-isn’t-he?” mystery that’s deliciously teased out. LF (US/Ger 2005, violence, swearing, sex scenes, drug abuse, nudity, HD)

The American ★★★

11.05pm-1.00am C4

THRILLER In this moody Euro-thriller, an assassin heads for a safe house in the Italian countryside after narrowly escaping an attempt on his life. George Clooney brings his taciturn charisma to bear on the central role, which is probably just as well, since this rather self-consciously arty offering strips away the snappy dialogue and action highlights of more traditional espionage fare, hoping to concentrate instead on the philosophical dilemma of a professional killer questioning his way of life. TJ (US 2010, violence, sex scenes, HD)

DRAMA The foundation of online phenomenon Facebook comes in for scrutiny in this morality tale for our times. Computer-science student Mark Zuckerberg is an outsider at Harvard in 2003 who creates the social networking technology that eventually makes him one of the world’s youngest billionaires. Along the way, there’s camaraderie, betrayal, class tension and much litigation. A brilliantly told story and one of the truly defining films of its era. TJ (US 2010, swearing, drug abuse, HD)

The movie blends top-quality celluloid and digital animation, resulting in something well beyond mere eye candy for kids. DA (US 2000, may be edited for violence, HD)

DID YOU KNOW ? In real life Mike Tyson ’s three Bengal tigers cost $4,000 a month to keep, but they weren’t licensed and were fin ally removed from his care

Planet of the Apes ★★★ 11.00pm-1.25am 5★

COMEDY Even fans of The Hangover trilogy have conceded its diminishing returns, despite the films grossing $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office. But the original, in which three friends wake up after a fourth’s bachelor party in Vegas with no idea what happened, bears re-watching. Swaggering Bradley Cooper, nerdy Ed Helms and slob Zach Galifianakis make a winning trio, as strippers, rohypnol, a tiger, Mike Tyson, Chinese gangsters and a quickie wedding add to the party’s sore-headed woes. You can see why men vicariously loved it. (US 2009, violence, swearing, nudity, HD)

SCI-FI Not a remake of the 1967 sci-fi classic, but, in director Tim Burton’s words, a “re-imagining”. It begins, like the original, with an astronaut (Mark Wahlberg) crash-landing and being pursued and captured by apes. So far, so similar, except for the ape make-up that allows actors such as Tim Roth (as arch-villain General Thade) and Helena Bonham Carter (chimp activist Ari) to truly emote and express through the latex. That’s the good news. The bad news is the story is slight (basically capture-battle-escape). The final twist ending works well, but whose idea was it to “quote” iconic lines from the original film?

THRILLER Comic-store worker Christian Slater meets Patricia Arquette and they accidentally steal a fortune in cocaine from her pimp, Gary Oldman, before hitting the road. Scriptwriter Quentin Tarantino blends Hong Kong gangster clichés, film noir revisionism, slick violence and a host of star cameos (Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper) for an acid cocktail. The conversation between Hopper (as Slater’s dad) and Walken’s smiling mobster is considered one of the great film face-offs. Director Tony Scott’s superb visual style is the icing on the cake.

FILM OF THE DAY

SCI-FI John Carpenter, director of horror classics like The Thing, falls into the trap of repeating himself. In 2176, Natasha Henstridge arrives at a Martian mining town where the colonists are being possessed by the spooks of the title and look about as threatening as refugees from a Kiss concert. There are moments of tension and atmosphere, with everything bathed in rusty-red hues. But there are no real surprises, leaving only regrets that such a talented director is responsible.

The Mission ★★★

11.55pm-1.55am BBC1 (N Ireland/Wales: 12.25-2.25am) g DRAMA This moving story set in 18th-century South America won the Palme d’Or at Cannes. There are longueurs in Robert Bolt’s script, a flabbiness in Roland Joffé’s direction and a detached turn from Robert De Niro. However, Jeremy Irons conveys sincerity as the head of a Jesuit mission, the photography is glorious and the score, by Ennio Morricone (who celebrates his 87th birthday today), is truly haunting.

12.30-3.15am C4

DRAMA Big Tobacco comes under the spotlight in this virtuoso ethical drama directed by Michael Mann, based on a true story. Russell Crowe plays the sacked executive whose whistle-blowing TV interview looks set to be canned by network heads for fear of a law suit. Al Pacino sears the screen as the producer who broke his story, while Christopher Plummer is superb as anchorman Mike Wallace. If you’re searching for signs of intelligent life in Hollywood, look no further. NS (US 1999, swearing, HD)

MUSICAL The central theme of Cabaret is a bisexual love triangle involving Liza Minnelli, Michael York and Helmut Griem but the film, based on Christopher Isherwood’s Berlin Stories, is not really about that. It’s about Berlin itself in the early 1930s — the Weimar Republic is in decline, Hitler is on the rise and the citizens, denying the certainty that bad times are coming, are frenetically seeking pleasure. They find it in the Kit Kat cabaret club where the master of ceremonies, the excellent Joel Grey, cracks dangerous political jokes to keep them laughing. This is an unusual musical, funny, serious and with some great songs, that leaves you thinking that, yes, this is how it probably was in Berlin at the time.

BIOPIC Virginia McKenna was Bafta-nominated for her role as Violette Szabo who, after her French husband was killed in action, became a British spy during the Second World War. Made by director Lewis Gilbert and co-writer Vernon Harris (Reach for the Sky), this is another well-crafted biographical drama inspired by real-life heroism. The supporting cast is pretty good, too, with a rare big-screen appearance from theatre giant Paul Scofield. PF (UK 1958, BW)

COMEDY Tom Hanks received his first Oscar nod for playing a 12-year-old boy in a man’s body — his simple sincerity in a cynical world foreshadowing Forrest Gump. Elizabeth Perkins also makes an impact when she finds herself attracted to him. Big may well be formulaic, but Penny Marshall’s polished direction combined with Hanks’s gauche charm make it the best of a spate of body-swap movies turned out by Hollywood in the late 1980s.

FILM OF THE DAY j

HORROR Playing on our fears of “the other”, director Robin Hardy’s psychosexual horror, first released in 1973, has now attained classic status. The film stars Edward Woodward as the devoutly Christian policeman, Sergeant Howie, who travels to a Hebridean island to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. As his efforts are hampered, Howie’s prudish disapproval of the neopagan worshippers turns to outrage. Despite some stilted moments, it still manages to pack a bizarre, disturbing punch.

Out of the Fog ★★★ 7.45-9.05pm Talking Pictures TV (Freeview HD 81, Sky 343) CRIME DRAMA A Brooklyn tailor and a short-order chef enjoy their little fishing trips around the bay until a minor league gangster (John Garfield) moves in, offering them protection and the tailor’s daughter something else. So a plot is hatched to dispense with the mafioso’s services. More of a character study than a thriller, it spins on a surprising twist and then goes on to become a sentimental tale about exploitation. AT (US 1941, BW)

i Pluto ★★★★ 1.40-3.55am Film4

THRILLER This South Korean drama suggests there’s a dark truth behind the country’s stellar education statistics, as the fight for top marks at a leading Seoul high school turns very nasty indeed. Writer/director Shin Su-won delivers nothing less than a broadside against his nation’s seemingly interwoven social and educational hierarchies, but couches it within an engrossing storyline that switches back and forth between the aftermath of and run-up to a brutal killing. TJ (SKor 2012, HD)

12.10-2.20am ITV3

CRIME In Steven Soderbergh’s sparkling adaptation of a novel by the peerless Elmore Leonard, George Clooney is the world’s most charming — and least successful — bank robber, who is captured when his getaway car won’t start. Later he escapes from prison and finds himself locked in the boot of another car (which does start) with federal marshal Jennifer Lopez. They talk, fall for each other and part, mutually obsessed, though for Lopez there’s a professional agenda — as a law lady, she’s out to nail him. What ensues is a thrilling, funny crime caper with a host of sharply drawn minor characters and, as its climax, a robbery at the home of an imprisoned billionaire. Most enthralling of all is the sexual chemistry between Clooney and Lopez, which makes you wish they’d made more films together. This one established Clooney as Hollywood’s number one leading man. Sadly, however, Lopez has never since been given the chance to be as good as she is here. (US 1998, violence, swearing, a sex scene, HD)

DID YOU KNOW ? The movie features bri ef cameos from Michael Keaton and Samuel L Jackson — both of wh om did it for free

Blind Date ★★★ 4.45-6.35pm Talking Pictures TV (Freeview HD 81, Sky 343) g CRIME This usually overlooked entry in the Joseph Losey canon is actually quite a daring and sophisticated investigation into British attitudes towards sex, class and the establishment in the late 1950s. Adapted from Leigh Howard’s novel, the story is pretty unremarkable, but Losey’s assured handling of character and location forces you to share the plight of Dutch painter Hardy Kruger as he becomes embroiled in a sexual and political scandal. DP (UK 1959, BW)

Chronicles of Narnia: m The Prince Caspian ★★★ 5.30-8.20pm Disney (Sky 609, Virgin 724)

FANTASY Andrew Adamson returns as director for the second instalment in CS Lewis’s Narnia series and the tone is darker. It’s a year after the events of the first film, but time has moved on 1,300 years in Narnia, where the repressive Telmarines have all but driven out the magical inhabitants. Although this is fantasy adventure at its blandest, there’s plenty of camp court intrigue, quaint pantomime action and epic CGI battles between fabled creatures. The Second World War parallels of the

previous movie here give way to a clear anti-colonialist message. And there’s even a lovable sword-fighting mouse (voiced by Eddie Izzard). It all makes for fun, lively — yet very safe — swashbuckling spectacle. AJ (US 2008, HD)

Revenge of the m Transformers: Fallen ★★ h 8.00-11.00pm E4

SCI-FI Toys R Bust! It’s a case of diminishing returns as action maestro Michael Bay piles on the heavy metal noise and epic explosions in this super-slick yet soulless sequel. This time Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) uncovers the secret history of the Transformers’ presence on Earth and must save mankind from an ancient threat: the first-ever Decepticon. But neither the silly, fragmented plot nor the acting really matter; the point here is battling giant robots turning into cars, planes and anything else, in spectacular action set pieces. AJ (US 2009, sexual references, drug references, edited for violence, language, HD)

Fool’s Gold ★★ 10.00pm-12.20am Watch

ROMANTIC ADVENTURE Despite being shiny, happy, good-looking blondes, co-stars Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey aren’t quite enough to perk up this tired romantic comedy. The movie opens with the couple on the brink of divorce, but through numerous

contrivances they end up on a yacht together and embark on a seafaring treasure hunt. This is a journey mapped out in accordance with the A to Z of Hollywood romantic comedies. SP (US 2008, edited for language, HD)

Cross of Iron ★★★★

12.45-2.50am BBC2 (not Scotland) z WAR Director Sam Peckinpah switches from westerns such as The Wild Bunch to another kind of savagery — Germans in retreat on the Russian Front during the Second World War — and makes this as graphic an anti-war film as anything since All Quiet on the Western Front. In this adaptation of a book by Willi Heinrich, James Coburn plays the disillusioned sergeant, sickened by slaughter and the double dealings of officers such as Maximilian Schell. This is bloody action, elegantly choreographed to chilling effect. TH (UK/WGer 1977, violence, swearing, nudity, HD)

Maniac ★★★ 1.10-2.40am C4

HORROR While nowhere near as sleazy or depressing as the 1980 original, director Franck Khalfoun’s update is a far slicker hardcore slasher. Elijah Wood plays a deranged psycho who vents his rage on the female population of downtown Los Angeles, but the gimmick here is that the stalking is done from his point of view, so you only glimpse him in shop windows, mirrors and CCTV footage. It’s a remarkable technical challenge that Khalfoun cleverly pulls off. AJ (Fr/US 2012, violence, swearing, sex scenes, nudity, drug abuse, HD) REVIEWERS THIS WEEK Dave Aldridge, Joanna Berry, Andrew Collins, Leslie Felperin, Peter Freedman, Sue Heal, Tom Hutchinson, Trevor Johnston, Alan Jones, Robin Karney, Karen Krizanovich, David McGillivray, Stella Papamichael, David Parkinson, Sue Robinson, Jamie Russell, Tony Sloman, Adam Smith, Neil Smith, Terry Staunton, Adrian Turner, Damon Wise

Remembrance Day Appeal - for brave Gurkha veterans

Too old to fight, too proud to ask Today, six months after a series of devastating earthquakes hit Nepal, thousands of Gurkha ex-Servicemen depend on us for their survival. They are veterans of every UK military campaign stretching back to the Second World War.

Mission improbable Spy 1111

From Monday Sky Store/Sky Box Office/Virgin (also DVD, Blu-ray, download) COMEDY Melissa McCarthy becomes a bona-fide movie star here, reteaming with Paul Feig who directed her in Bridesmaids and The Heat. She plays a CIA desk agent sent to gather intelligence on criminal mastermind Rose Byrne. However, she breaks protocol by sidling up to said villainess with all the subtlety of a boulder. This is followed by McCarthy bumbling her way through glamorous locations in high-octane style, and Feig scores laughs by making McCarthy look laughably incongruous when she should be inconspicuous. Miranda Hart is a tad jarring as McCarthy’s sidekick, but Jason Statham is Feig’s secret weapon as a super-agent who thinks he’s better than McCarthy and tells her why in excruciating detail. Still, this is McCarthy’s show. She carries the film with immense charm, razor-sharp comic instincts and some surprising chop-socky skills. Stella Papamichael (US 2015, violence, swearing, sexual references)

Consequently, each sequence in this cringe-inducing profile is tailored to make Ronaldo seem like a demi-god.

DVD OF THE WEEK

Terminator: Genisys 11 h Out now on DVD, Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, download Confusing time travel and lacklustre spectacle earmark this reboot of James Cameron’s classic cyborg franchise. Kyle Reese (an insipid Jai Courtney) arrives from war-torn 2029 to whisk the 1984 Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) to 2017, where they must halt the Genisys ”app”, Skynet’s first step to world machine domination. Byung-hun Lee makes a creditable T-1000, but even more eye-catching are the triple versions of a rock-solid Arnold Schwarzenegger, still engagingly uttering those famous one-liners. Director Alan Taylor has to navigate his way through links to past offerings, with complex scientific jargon and bewildering parallel universes making for a head-scratching narrative. The DVD includes an extra featurette. Alan Jones

ALISON GRAHAM PPA COLUMNIST OF THE YEAR

I’m no Luddite but… Is technology making drama lazy, wonders Alison Graham

wenty years ago I knew technology would change the face of dramas for ever, and not in a good way, when I was cheated by the fabulous Steven Bochco magnum opus Murder One. Cheated is a strong word, but I’d accompanied that show for 23 episodes and I’d loved every second as it followed the investigation of a murder in shiny Los Angeles. But clearly everyone had become so carried away with writing such a vast, sprawling piece of work that they’d forgotten it had to have a proper ending and when it came, the conclusion was the most insulting, vapid bit of nonsense. The killer was identified thanks to CCTV footage that someone just happened to find. Case closed. The fact no one had even hinted that such a thing might exist seemed immaterial. So, the murderer was caught red-handed on film, move along now, please, nothing to see here. Obviously I had no time for the second series. I bear grudges and I bear them for ever. Technology has changed everything since. Detectives no longer have to find a phone box to make a call or return to the office to look at typewritten statements. Everything is delivered to them by mobile phone. Handily they can be anonymously taunted/menaced by the murderer on their smartphones (see From Darkness) absolutely anywhere. And suspects are always on CCTV somewhere.

IAN DERRY

n the Swedish import Arne Dahl this week a suspect in a bombing is found, not by the cops actually getting out and knocking on doors, but by some kind of tracking system. A few key strokes and – bingo! Get your coat, we’re off to an exact address. In the smashing, sexy, thrilling London Spy starting on BBC2 this Monday, there’s a big plot point delivered handily by some kind of electronic gizmo. Though I’m prepared to forgive what could be seen as a deus ex machina because London Spy is so good and I suspect a lot cleverer than I am. Contrary to what I know this must all sound like, I’m not a Luddite, I’m not going to smash up my telly with a lump hammer because someone uses a memory stick to catch a killer. Not yet, anyway. But I can’t help but think that storytelling could get a bit lazy. Imagine if Bram Stoker had access to technol-

ogy how different Dracula would have been. The Demeter would never have run aground at Whitby, thus allowing the Count to bound ashore as a black dog, because the ship’s captain would have had GPS. He’d probably have listened to the shipping forecast on his DAB radio. And Jonathan Harker would never have sent all those letters to his beloved Mina from Transylvania, he’d have texted her instead. “Stuck in weird castle w guy w big teeth. Missing u. xxxx ” I magine, too, how brief The Go-Between, recently adapted for BBC1, would have been. The lustconsumed couple (they’d have met on Tinder) wouldn’t need a wee boy to act as their courier with tragic consequences, they could simply have emailed: “See you in the woods later for sexy times!” I think this is why I’m rather taken with the silly but fun Frankenstein Chronicles (Wednesday ITV Encore), as I can be pretty sure

1820s cop John Marlott isn’t going to whip out an iPhone to google “Mary Shelley”. Of course technology is a part of life so it can’t be ignored. It’s used brilliantly in the re-imagined Sherlock, of course, almost to the point where it’s hard to credit the great sleuth wasn’t actually online in the Arthur Conan Doyle originals. But otherwise, let’s not make things too easy for ourselves, too often, eh?

COMEDY TO CHEW ON I’m well aware that I’m a very late guest at the party, but I’ve fallen headfirst for the outrageous, filthy, hugely funny E4 comedy Chewing Gum (the last episode is on Tuesday) starring the magnificent Michaela Coel (left) as Tracey. Tracey lives on a London estate with a militant fundamentalist Christian mother, a clingy sister whose only joy is playing Ludo, and she’s so desperate to lose her virginity she gets nosebleeds whenever she’s even a tiny bit aroused. Chewing Gum is coarse and often crude, but I unapologetically love it. And Coel is a mighty talent.

There’s Coronation Street’s Adam Rickett, Oliver!’s Mark Lester, Outnumbered’s Tyger Drew-Honey and three former pupils of Grange Hill. In fact a couple of people do embarrassingly badly, while another gives what Richard describes as “a very, very good… wrong answer”. The head-to-head round is a nail-bitingly close-run thing, though.

ENTERTAINMENT So far

the women have dominated the top of the leaderboard. Helen George, Kellie Bright, Georgia May Foote and Anita Rani have all been consistently good. So with the first four exits being male celebrities, it’s left only Jay McGuiness, Peter Andre and RT columnist Jeremy Vine (fingers crossed he’s still in) to represent the men. Of course, at this stage it’s not just about the dancing: viewers keep celebrities in because they’re entertaining or vote them out because they’re irritating. But Blackpool is just a few weeks away.

SITCOM Walmington’s spats with the

Stockholm underground and the A Unit’s first thoughts turn to terrorists. But Aarto, the resident boffin, is puzzled: the bomb exploded in an almost empty carriage on a little-used, early-morning service. There’s got to be more to it, surely? There is, of course, in the liveliest case of the series so far, a penultimate two-part story that sees Kerstin struggling to come to terms with last week’s horrors. She clearly blames her ex-lover, the undemonstrative, leaden Paul, to whom she delivers a hefty slap. Oh, and there’s an English-speaking villain, so you can give the subtitles a rest for a few minutes and do the ironing. ALISON GRAHAM TV EDITOR

rival platoon in Eastgate are always great, pratfalling fun, and a training exercise, in which Mainwaring’s marauders have to plant a bomb in a windmill, is certainly played full tilt. But we open in the pub, where that tedious old walrus Captain Square is holding court. And, in his first appearance in Dad’s Army, Robert Raglan (as a sergeant, but he’ll later become “the Colonel”) throws a priceless glance at the barman as Square bores for Britain. It’s the story where Jones branches out, Frazer has an overinflated opinion of himself, sheep wear helmets and the Verger finds a novel use for a cemetery urn. Utterly, beautifully bonkers.

DRAMA The conclusion to this

tense “They are among us” adventure resumes as the first part ended — in thrilling fashion. A bravura cliffhanger saw the Doctor’s “presidential plane” apparently blown from the sky by the imposter-Clara. Now, the sequence is reprised, ingeniously, from a different perspective. From that point on, the hunt begins in earnest for the rebel Zygons, alien shape-shifters hell-bent on trashing a quavering ceasefire with Earth. Horrible transformations are achieved with suitably gross special (and sound) effects, while Peter Harness and Steven Moffat’s script plays on notions of trust and identity. But what begins with edgy intrigue and Spooks-like cloak-anddagger turns into something more profound and philosophical. It’s typical of the show’s ability to turn on a sixpence and gives Peter Capaldi the chance to go deep into the Doctor’s pain. MARK BRAXTON

Wild 111 10.15pm Sky Premiere

In 1995, a troubled young woman decided to hike over a 1,000 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail in order to find herself. On the way, she encountered a variety of setbacks and obstacles, many of which are re-created by Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club) in this episodic wilderness drama. The problem is the movie lacks emotional weight — despite a committed performance from an Oscar-nominated Reese Witherspoon. As a result, Wild isn’t quite able to achieve the profound impact that it’s evidently aiming for. STEPHEN CARTY

So, here it is… Sky Christmas launches Yes, it really is that time of the year again when Sky devotes a whole channel to the festive plums you love, plus the overcooked turkeys you somehow sit through. Until Drama/ Romance returns on 5 January, this is your one-stop shop for instant seasonal cheer, Scrooge-like transformations and heartfelt platitudes about the “true meaning of Christmas”. The delightful Elf, featuring a larger-than-life performance from Will Ferrell, shows that those ingredients can produce something that’s sweet without being overly sickly. JAMIE HEALY

Butch after Sundance Blackthorn 111 BBC iPlayer On this day in 1908, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were killed in a shoot-out in Bolivia. Speculation has persisted that the reports were wrong, with this movie suggesting Butch went on to live a quiet life under an assumed name. It’s an interesting conceit, with Sam Shepard suitably grizzled as the former outlaw. JH Your guide to TV on demand: radiotimes.com/usingondemand Vanessa Redgrave gets the tears flowing, see page 38

SPORT Choices Boxing 8.00pm Sky Sports 1 A domestic bust-up for the vacant British super-middleweight title as scousers Callum Smith and Rocky Fielding slug it out in front of partizan fans at Liverpool Arena. Both men have 100 per cent professional records, so unless it’s a draw, something has to give. Fielding (pictured) has won all his 21 bouts, with 12 stoppages. Smith’s 17 victories also include 12 inside the distance. Not much to choose between them, then, on what should be a raucous night. STEVE WALL

The pick of today’s TV DOWN AND OUT

Television Sunday

The humble and everyday story of a northern family comes to an end. What will happen to the Crawleys now?

PICK OF THE DAY

Downton Abbey 9.00pm ITV

DRAMA “Golly gumdrops! What a turn-up!” beams a twinkling Robert

Crawley in the final episode of the last ever series (though there’s an “It Really Is Over So You Can All Move On” Christmas special). Robert (Hugh Bonneville) is delighted at news of good fortune for Edith, though her sister’s increased happiness turns Lady Mary more tart and waspish than ever. But maybe that has more to do with handsome Henry Talbot, the stuffed-shirt racing driver who’s stolen Mary’s heart, however much she

tries to deny it. Meanwhile, Edith’s boring beau, Bertie, turns into Blubbing Bertie when his stiff upper lip collapses in a manly way. There are so many plot strands here that it’s hard to keep up. It seems that writer Julian Fellowes wants to neaten all the ends before he sends everyone on their way with a touching “cheerio and pip-pip!” and a bit of emotional stock-taking.

hosts two hours of live coverage from the Cenotaph in Whitehall. The Queen leads the commemorations, along with David Cameron, Jeremy Corbyn and other politicians, as well as religious figureheads, military leaders and dignitaries from around the Commonwealth. Sophie Raworth is out and about, hearing the stories of veterans and those participating in the march past the memorial. At 4.15pm on BBC1, Bill Turnbull presents a special Songs of Praise from the Imperial War Museum, including the story behind The Last Post and an update on what became of the ceramic poppies that formed a breathtaking display at the Tower of London last year. JACK SEALE

Sunday, it’s fitting that Countryfile is featuring several stories related to the Second World War. Ellie Harrison hears tales of the Peak District during the war, and Joe Crowley is in Cambridgeshire where, in 1940, a Spitfire on a training flight crashed in the Great Fen, killing a 20year-old pilot. As part of restoration work on the Fen (and coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain), the well-preserved remains of the Spitfire have been excavated and Joe talks to an eyewitness about the crash. Elsewhere, Adam Henson meets JLS’s JB Gill, who is carving out a new career as a turkey farmer in Kent.

about whether this monster mash is too scary for kids. It is — scheduling it early on a Sunday evening is a crass misjudgement — but the bigger problem for little ones might be boredom, when the hideous ghouls are off screen. In episode three the younger Jekyll (Tom Bateman) is still ploughing through his family history, essentially in search of the original Jekyll premise. It’s as if we’re stalling until the decision is made about what our changeable hero is actually here to do. Eventually he gets into a grim punch-up with a demonic human crustacean, but before that there’s a lot of talking and not enough capering. JS

and sniggers when Jon Baddeley reveals the use of a sweetly carved, ruler-like object brought in to RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire this week. But the owner is almost overcome at the valuation: “No! I thought a tenner at the most,” he says, just about holding back the tears of emotion. There’s also a brilliant story about an extremely long piece of tree dating back to a Second World War RAF raid on a Norwegian fjord. Unfortunately, one of the Lancasters accidentally brushed the top of the trees and the tree went right through the cockpit. “All this?” exclaims Fiona Bruce. “That makes me go all funny.” JR

RadioTimes 7–13 November 2015

SUNDAY 8 NOVEMBER TV CV RUBY BENTALL ! The perky Hils in Jekyll and Hyde (7pm ITV) is far from Bentall’s first period role. She was Verity in Poldark and had a small role in Mike Leigh’s film, Mr Turner. ! Before that she played haberdashery shopgirl Pauline in The Paradise and hopeless housemaid

Minnie in Lark Rise to Candleford, and also cropped up as Mary Bennet in ITV fantasy drama Lost in Austen. ! Still, she’s not been entirely confined to the past — over the years she’s also appeared in New Tricks, Holby City and The Bill.

8.00pm C4 DOCUMENTARY Although as her

husband Timothy West tenderly says, “Pru’s domestic life is getting a bit narrower”, Prunella Scales is still capable of delivering astute or entertaining observations. They’re in Ireland on what’s perhaps their most dramatically beautiful voyage so far. Pootling along a canal restored in the 90s as part of the peace process (“I suppose it’s progress but why does [an automated lock] have to sound like a bin lorry reversing?”), they pass the remains of Aghalane Bridge, blown up in the Troubles and rebuilt upstream. Prunella murmurs, “Water knows no boundary.” Then, as a soft drizzle falls, Tim reflects that, “We’re all under the same sky. Same rain. Same umbrella.” JR

HE’S BEHIND YOU!

A predator bears down on an unsuspecting seal pup

Dames of Classic Drama at the BBC 8.00pm BBC4 DOCUMENTARY Maggie Smith,

Judi Dench, Diana Rigg, Eileen Atkins, Helen Mirren and Vanessa Redgrave (who reputedly turned down a damehood) are glimpsed in striking snippets from the 1960s and 70s, roles way down their CVs but preserved by the BBC archive. It’s a boggling but ultimately frustrating programme. It’s not enough to flash up a 20-second clip from a 1963 Z Cars of Judi Dench as a wild-haired delinquent. Or one minute of Maggie Smith as Beatrice in a recently found tape of Much Ado from 1967. It’s such a tease. Like all these archive trawls, it makes you long to see the original full-length programmes. Schedule them please, BBC4. PATRICK MULKERN

cannot contain his boyish glee when invited to fire a Gatling gun, but for the most part his history lesson is a more sobering affair than the westerns he acted out as a child. With the help of rare stereograph prints (3D photos that were all the rage in the 1900s), he recounts how more than 60 native American tribes were hunted and corralled on reservations, and how Custer’s Last Stand turned out to be theirs, too.

Sue MacGregor on TV, bestowing the same poise and precision she lends Radio 4’s The Reunion upon this genial grilling of actor Antony Sher and RSC director Greg Doran. They’ve been civil partners since the very day it became legal in 2005 but have had a working relationship far longer — Doran directing Sher in ten plays since 1995. They get to the heart of staging Shakespeare, and Sher ticks off Julian Fellowes for talking “nonsense” about dumbing down the Bard. A simple but enriching programme. PM

always have one heartstopping, never-seen-before sequence, but The Hunt has half-a-dozen in each programme. This has remarkable footage of a polar bear sneaking up on a seal that’s lolling on an ice floe (initially hilarious, then breathtakingly tense). But there’s also the unbelievable sight of another polar bear scaling 300 metre-high crumbling cliffs to feast on birds’ eggs. If that’s not enough, Arctic foxes leap into the air to grab guillemots as they fly past, and a herd of musk ox defends its young by circling them like a wagon train under attack. Unusually, you may occasionally be willing the predator to catch its prey. Perhaps it’s because there are so many failed attempts at catching supper — it puts it all into perspective.

DOCUMENTARY OF THE WEEK

9.00 The Hunt

a m

2/7. In the Grip of the Seasons. The Arctic changes dramatically throughout the year, meaning its predators must continually adapt their hunting strategies if they are to survive. In this episode, a polar bear risks life and limb to climb 300 metres up a cliff to reach chicks and eggs, while another uses holes in the melted summer ice to creep closer to basking seals. Meanwhile, Arctic foxes have devised an ingenious way to capture auks — plucking them out of the sky mid-flight as they try to get away. Narrated by David Attenborough. See page 61.

SPORT Choices MotoGP from 9.30am BT Sport 2 This year’s world championship reaches boiling point in today’s final round in Valencia (main race starts 1pm), with Valentino Rossi a slender seven points ahead of Spain’s Jorge Lorenzo at the top of the riders’ table — but in a dramatic twist, the Italian must start from the back of the grid after he was adjudged culpable in an incident in the Malaysian GP that saw Marc Márquez crash. Consequently, Rossi (pictured) has it all to do if he’s to win another world title. STEVE WALL

Edward Holcroft and Ben Whishaw star in a tale of love and espionage

PICK OF THE DAY

London Spy

9.00pm BBC2

DRAMA OF THE WEEK New series Danny is a rootless, aimless young man,

who spends his days in a boring job in a DIY warehouse and his nights trawling subterranean gay bars. But a chance encounter with a handsome jogger on a London bridge transforms Danny’s life. Tom Rob Smith (he wrote the books Child 44 and The Farm) has written a subtle, insidious, very modern urban tale of love, lies, duplicity and unseen menace. Ben Whishaw is perfect as the puppyish, overly trusting,

The Wanted 9.15am BBC1 DAYTIME CHOICE New series

Depending on your point of view you may find this daily series about the work of the Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire police forces reassuring, depressing or frightening. The officers wear body cameras to allow us to see close up what goes on during dawn raids, arrests and pursuits, as they follow up the hundreds of outstanding arrest warrants on their books (known as the Wanted List). It’s mostly to do with petty crimes or breaking bail conditions, but in Oldham the police are tracking two absconded prisoners and in Leeds the drugs team bust a cannabis factory. “It’s what we do — deal with bad guys,” shrugs one officer. JANE RACKHAM

desperate-for-love Danny, while Edward Holcroft (Wolf Hall) is the greyhound-sleek, well-spoken, clever and utterly mysterious Alex. The title’s a bit of a giveaway — it’s not called London DIY Superstore Worker — so we know straight away that Alex has a considerable hinterland, something that becomes disturbingly clear as the episode progresses. Don’t be put off by the fact that London Spy is a slow burn, it eventually casts a louche, troubling spell. ALISON GRAHAM See feature: page 14

making breakfast bars for those mornings when “you need to grab and go” seems a contradiction to me. And a bit of a faff, too, what with having to buy chia seeds, flax seeds, goji berries, medjool dates and I forget what else. Clearly I don’t get nearly as much pleasure from cooking as Nigella Lawson does. But her intriguing cornflake, paprika and mustard chicken cutlets do look worth a go, despite the weird combination of ingredients. And, don’t faint, she also makes a vegan chocolate cake that she suggests might be “one of the best chocolate cakes you have ever eaten”. Crikey. JR

provincial theatres to step into the spotlight with this ambitious look at a well-known theatre in your region. Eleven documentaries (including ones on Liverpool’s Everyman, the Theatre Royal Margate, Exeter’s Northcott and the Bristol Old Vic) are being shown simultaneously, though all are available on iPlayer should your theatrical interests stretch further than your nearest city. Actors including Sheila Hancock, Antony Sher and Alison Steadman talk about the role that regional theatres have played in their careers. But the focus of each documentary is firmly on the people working both on stage and behind the scenes. JR

FOOD Spending time at the weekend

DOCUMENTARY Undeterred by

the letter of the law, Hugh FearnleyWhittingstall continues his campaign against our throwaway culture by raiding a supermarket bin with two seasoned skip divers. His spoils are perfectly edible; and sickeningly it also turns out that most of the waste in the supply chain happens before the food even gets to the supermarkets. Next, he makes an equally hard-to-ignore stand against disposable fashion by dumping seven tons of clothes in a shopping centre, and asking how long it takes Brits to throw away this much stuff. No prizes for guessing it’s not long. CLAIRE WEBB

shocked by violence perpetrated by women? As one former gang member remarks, “People don’t expect it from you. As women you’re looked upon as people to have kids, create a home and nurture.” Reporter Alys Harte finds that cuts both ways in an eye-opening investigation into the upward trend for female crime. Statistics show that women are frequently treated more leniently by the justice system. Harte sets out to discover why women appear to be acting more aggressively — alcohol mainly — and why it seems we don’t take violence by women so seriously. It’s a sobering look at an under-reported issue. DAVID CRAWFORD

COMEDY The comedy showcase

DRAMA A shocking opening scene

moves to BBC2, where Alan Carr kicks off about “people who’ve got too much to say for themselves… always got an opinion”. So I’ll say nothing about his warm-up routine on Trip Advisor, skin disorders, school photos and Jack the Ripper walks. But if the comedy doesn’t work out, Alan, you’d make a great tourist guide. First on is Francesca Martinez, who uses her cerebral palsy (or wobbliness as she calls it) for both laughs and political point scoring. Finally, Nish Kumar does a scorching riff on the lack of right-wing comedians and left-wing action movies, before ripping into the political incorrectness of board games. JR

in a cinema sets the tone for another bloody visit to the frozen waste of 70s America. But let’s not forget creator Noah Hawley’s aptitude for brilliant comedy, and there are few characters more comic than Jesse Plemons’s Ed Blomquist. Tonight the simple-minded butcher is the focus of Hawley’s arch gaze; in fact Ed is literally the butt of the joke in one fabulous bathroom scene with Kirsten Dunst’s Peggy. But there is worse news than his wife’s costly drive to self-enlightenment: the Gerhardt clan is close to rumbling him. While a final reckoning may seem inevitable, Fargo aficionados will know there are probably quite a few surprises round the corner. Nasty ones. BEN DOWELL

The Secret Life of Books 8.00pm BBC4 ARTS Joanna Trollope, a great chronicler

of country life (and, incidentally, a criminally under-rated one at that), wanders through the Cotswolds in buttery sunlight to get to the heart of her beloved Cider with Rosie. Laurie Lee’s autobiographical account of growing up with a tumultuous family in the glorious Slad Valley near Stroud in Gloucestershire during the First World War, became an instant hit when it was published in 1959 (below), selling 1,600 copies a day by the end of the year. “Few books have ever given me quite the thrill of this spellbinding memoir,” says Trollope before she visits Lee’s childhood home, Bank Cottages (pictured left), talks to academics and historians, and uncovers clues as to the identity of the fabled Rosie (or identities, as many women claimed to be her inspiration), and she’s shocked to learn that an early draft was called Cider with Poppy.

Download it now Listen to Me Marlon 1111 iTunes Maddening, magnificent, mercurial — all these views of Marlon Brando combine in a terrific tapestry of a great star’s life, which is available to rent today, three weeks before it debuts on DVD. Drawing on the reclusive actor’s previously unheard self-therapy tapes, this documentary not only emerges as a chronicle of Brando’s life, but also highlights his deep affection for Tahiti and its people, his support for civil rights and his shortcomings as a father. Director Stevan Riley does a fabulous job here but it’s no hagiography; this is Brando in the raw. Here, Marlon is just Marlon. JEREMY ASPINALL

Slumdog Millionaire 1111 9.00pm Film4

Last chance to see The Rebel 111 ITV Player Tony Hancock’s first star vehicle is no masterpiece, more a fascinating misfire. He’s his usual deluded, pompous self as an office worker who finds fame as an artist — despite his lack of talent. Among the comedy support is Irene Handl, the landlady who models for Aphrodite by the Waterhole. DAVID PARKINSON

It would be fanciful to say that Slumdog (review, p40) put India on the movie map, but Danny Boyle’s 2008 heartwarmer about a street kid winning a quiz show made authentic use of Mumbai at a time when Bollywood stylings were more extravagant. Western use of Eastern backdrops can be patronising (Eat Pray Love) or sincere (the Jaipur-shot Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), but Boyle’s settings have ensured that the subcontinent continues to fascinate on film.

PICK OF THE DAY

MasterChef: the Professionals

8.00pm BBC2

FOOD Amid the usual grimacing, frowning, gurning and eyebrow-raising from

the MasterChef judges, how wonderful to see Marcus Wareing beaming. Unfortunately this only happens when he’s watching Monica Galetti prepare îles flottantes, the 15-minute skills test she’s setting, and not when three very nervous professional chefs tackle it. The other three competitors are asked to cook a blue steak with a peppercorn sauce (Wareing giving us a detailed masterclass beforehand). They don’t make him smile, either.

Doctors 1.45pm BBC1 DAYTIME CHOICE With Howard

gone, The Mill needs leadership, but the dear departed practice manager has one more trick up his sleeve. He’d arranged a day-long team-building course for the staff, so off they go… to an abandoned hospital. Before they know it, Bill (Toyah Willcox) has split them into two teams, guided by Frankie (Petrice Jones) and Kit (Sarah Bradnum). The intention is that the practice staff bond by completing team tasks, without being eaten by zombies. Yes, it’s the sort of lame role play that every employee fears — but by the end of it, it might just be that Howard’s successor has emerged. JACK SEALE

However, when the contestants cook their signature dish, a few get a “well done” from him. It’s almost as thrilling as a Paul Hollywood handshake and so much better than the crushing “this dish doesn’t work”. What’s interesting this time around is the different backgrounds of these chefs. They don’t all work in smart restaurants: one’s a catering college lecturer, one is self-taught and another is a cook on a submarine. JANE RACKHAM See feature: page 18

DOCUMENTARY Within minutes of

NATURE New series Winter in

the children meeting at nursery school, friendships are created and destroyed… and then created again. They haven’t yet grasped how to deal with each other’s feelings, so they often end up blackmailing each other with threats of “If you don’t, I’ll tell the teacher you said you want to play with her more than me.” Lola has two girls vying for her affection and it’s fascinating to see how, even at such a young age, children want to please the confident kids with an air of mystery about them. The best moments are hearing about their imaginary worlds. It’s enough to make your daydreams seem dull. KASIA DELGADO

Scotland’s oldest national park lasts a gruelling five months. So in spring animals get cracking: mating, giving birth and raising their young. In the first of four richly photographed films charting the seasons in the Trossachs, we see male black grouse strutting and fighting, mountain hares shedding their white winter fur and — shockingly — a hind brutally attacking another’s calf. There’s a charming story about a pair of ospreys, though. After wintering in Africa, they return separately to their nest. But when the female arrives after the long flight, her partner’s not there — tired of waiting, he’s gone fishing. JR

River 9.00pm BBC1 DRAMA I’ve worked out who River

reminds me of. It’s Quirke, BBC1’s previous leaden detective, played by Gabriel Byrne. Technically Quirke was a pathologist, but he and River are both mid-60s, both radiate despair and both mysteriously attract women several decades younger. Also, just as nobody ever called him anything but Quirke, River is always addressed as River, never John — even in that psychological report group he has joined. Tonight’s penultimate episode treads water as we wait to discover exactly what River’s boss, Chrissie’s husband Tom (the dope-smoking judge played by Michael Maloney: a sure sign of dodginess) has to hide.

RadioTimes 7–13 November 2015

TUESDAY 10 NOVEMBER RISING STAR: LUKE TREADAWAY ! Devon-born actor Luke Treadaway starred in two very successful West End shows: the original production of War Horse and also The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, the subject of tonight’s Imagine... (10.35 BBC1). ! The 31-year-old played

scientist Vincent in Sky Atlantic’s Fortitude, and starred in Unbroken, the wartime biopic directed by Angeline Jolie. ! Next year he will be the voice of children’s author Raymond Briggs in a BBC animation based on Briggs’s book about his parents, Ethel and Ernest.

9.00pm BBC2 ENTERTAINMENT Emotional judge

Keith Brymer Jones bursts into tears again when confronted with yet another pot artwork. It is a lovely piece, but not blub-worthy, surely? With four more weeks to go, Brymer Jones will really have to man-up. In the second round, the amateurs have a week (yes, a whole week) to make a ceramic washbasin from hand-rolled coils of clay. Some of the finished pieces are glorious and some are catastrophically cracked. But the potters are a cheery bunch and none remains downhearted for too long. The spot test involves decorating tiles: “I feel like a six-year-old in an art lesson,” wails one contestant. ALISON GRAHAM

Lewis 9.00pm ITV DRAMA The ninth series concludes

with two questions yet to be resolved. Three if you count whether or not Lewis and Hathaway were both killed in the explosion at the end of last week’s episode. Spoiler: no. The other mysteries are who is sending parcel bombs to settle old scores, and whether Lewis will go on his jaunt to New Zealand with lovely Laura. He’s wobbling, worried that he won’t have a job when he comes back. Surely he’s lost sight of what’s really important? Hathaway can vouch for that, as it becomes clearer that he’s left it too late to connect with his estranged and now ailing dad. There’ll be a wet eye or two at the story’s end. JS

9.00pm C4

CHILDREN’S CHOICE

DOCUMENTARY Sometimes it’s the

life stories that fascinate rather than the medical stories. After 91-year-old Cyril has a car crash, his wife Betty recalls how they met in a sweet shop when she was 15. And now they’ve been married for 68 years. Roman, a lively five-year-old, has a pencil lead stuck in his ear, but it’s his young mum’s description of how the pregnancy changed her whole life that’s most affecting. And 57-year-old Caroline has had a heart attack. Her daughter’s tearful account of her mum leaving when she was just 11 is heartbreaking. JR

Imagine... 10.35pm BBC1 (N Ireland and Wales: 11.05pm) ARTS The stage version of The

Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has been almost as big a hit as Mark Haddon’s 2003 novel, winning plaudits for its insights into autism and related conditions. This film explores the play’s innovative staging, which drew on extensive consultation with autistic children and young adults. Although the documentary functions as an exhaustive guide to the work, it’s justifiably more fascinated by reality. It does what the book and play do: it puts us inside the autistic mind. JS

THEY’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS...

But Rob and Sharon’s romantic weekend break proves bumpy

RadioTimes 7–13 November 2015

has got over her anxieties about bonding with Muireann, the baby with the unpronounceable name. In fact she’s so attentive that sexually frustrated Rob (Rob Delaney) accuses her of behaving like Gollum from The Lord of the Rings, salivating over her “precious”. It’s another familiar dilemma explored by this filthily funny comedy that will feel painfully close to home for many couples. As will the pair’s attempt to remedy matters with a weekend away in Paris, which contains some excruciatingly hilarious moments. Horgan and Delaney’s nimble writing is brilliant at showing how arguments can escalate — even in two minutes of screen time. But just when things begin to look as if they may go pear-shaped they pull it back, thanks in large measure to their warmth, verbal inventiveness and extraordinary chemistry. Top-class comedy.

FREEVIEW — DIRECTOR OF THE WEEK

The Hurt Locker 1111 11.15pm Film4

Inadvertent feminist trailblazer Kathryn Bigelow achieved global fame with her dramatisation of bomb disposal in Iraq (review, page 40), for which she won the best director Oscar, the first woman ever to do so. Setting aside the scandal of the 81-year wait for womankind, the Academy Award was well deserved. Connoisseurs had spotted Bigelow early in her career, from “yoof” vampire yarn Near Dark to cop-stalking nailbiter Blue Steel and cult surf thriller Point Break. And there was more contemporary military tension to come in 2012’s Zero Dark Thirty (review, page 43). ANDREW COLLINS

More than meets the eye The Crying Game 1111 9.00pm TCM Writer/director Neil Jordan earned an Oscar for best screenplay with this beguiling tale, which is new to TCM this week. At its centre is a charismatic performance from Stephen Rea, who plays an IRA terrorist who flees to London after the botched kidnapping of a British soldier. Ridden with guilt, he locates the dead man’s former lover (an extraordinary performance from Jaye Davidson) and finds himself falling in love. After a series of Hollywood flops, this marked a major return to form for Jordan. JOHN FERGUSON

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis duke it out for political office in this outrageous comedy, now available on Amazon. There are no limits when it comes to getting votes, or laughs — the gags are big and brash — but with the duelling stars on top form, this scores high in the approval ratings. STELLA PAPAMICHAEL

The pick of today’s TV THE NOT-SO-YOUNG ONES

Television Wednesday

Jez and Mark (Robert Webb and David Mitchell) are back, but all is not well…

PICK OF THE DAY

Peep Show 10.00pm C4

COMEDY OF THE WEEK It’s been more than three years since we last visited

Croydon’s gruesome twosome, Jez and Mark. The unscrupulous Jez was declaring himself to Mark’s girlfriend Dobby in a field and Mark is still smarting pompously at the betrayal; so much so, in fact, that he has found a new flatmate, consigning Jez to a billet in druggie Super Hans’s bathroom. As we rejoin the action six months on, will Jerry (Tim Key) provide Mark with the requisite, er, fun with William Morris documentaries and reading

Cuffs 8.00pm BBC1 DRAMA Cuffs seems to be running

out of juice already, which isn’t a good sign. After an opening scene featuring a breakout from a prison van, tonight’s episode goes into a slow decline — slow being the operative word. The prisoner, an armed robber, escapes on the back of a motorbike, but the chief super insists that pursuing the bike at speed could be risky so he calls off the chase — and with it any further drama. There’s a case about schoolboy muggings that is basically a sermon against private education, a battered wife storyline that goes nowhere, and a long music sequence from Björk. The Bill was never this dull. DAVID BUTCHER

The Nation’s Favourite Beatles Number One 8.00pm ITV ENTERTAINMENT Those countdown

people just won’t Let It Be, will they? Over two hours, ITV takes us on The Long and Winding Road through the Fab Four’s 27 songs that reached number one in the UK and the US. You all have a Ticket to Ride back to Yesterday, but which is your favourite — and which is the nation’s? Not Eleanor Rigby, I’m guessing. Sprinkled amid the black-and-white hysteria and general moptoppery are fannish input from the likes of David Tennant, Sandie Shaw, Michael Palin, Twiggy and Bjorn Ulvaeus (the Beatles are the reason he and Abba’s Benny began writing songs). All You Need Is Love of the group to enjoy the show. MARK BRAXTON

nights in? It isn’t long before Jez seeks to wheedle his way back home in what becomes a hilarious tug-of-love for Mark’s affections (and spare room)… Writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong clearly want to raise the bar in this final outing of the cult “point-of view” comedy. The gags are rapier-sharp and, amid the usual chaos, mayhem and silliness, there is some deft plotting, too. BEN DOWELL See feature: page 28

REALITY The 5.30am phone call:

DOCUMENTARY Dominic Sandbrook

“You must be wearing hi-vis jackets and steel toe-capped boots.” Thank goodness the candidates remembered to pack their builder’s gear as well as smart suits. The task is to set up an odd-job business but one team gets off to a disastrous start, dithering for so long that they miss the deadline for printing their advertising flyers. Unusually there’s a lot of giggling when they return to the boardroom (Karren Brady smirks and even Lord Sugar smiles) mainly because of someone’s catalogue of DIY disasters. The laughter stops, however, when Lord Sugar starts pointing his finger at the losers.

is never averse to stating the bleeding obvious. For instance, that the growth of satire on TV knocked the public’s respect for politicians; or that Princess Diana’s death in 1997 prompted an “extraordinary outpouring of national grief”. It’s not always obvious how his scenic route through postwar pop culture relates to his theme that Brits are the entertainers of the world, but it makes for a pleasant meander. Tonight the topic is how much of our culture celebrates the old order, ie country houses, boarding schools and the establishment — from Harry Potter to Downton Abbey, with a nod to James Bond. DB

Colour: the Spectrum of Science

You, Me and the Apocalypse

9.00pm BBC4

9.00pm Sky1

SCIENCE The spectrum expands in

DRAMA The end of the world is now

this episode, as Dr Helen Czerski explores colour’s role in organic life. Cue stunning visuals showcasing how nature’s paintbox has drenched the planet’s surface with mesmerising hues. Green predominates, of course, and we learn how the chlorophyll in plants absorbs red and blue light for photosynthesis, effectively reflecting the green as a waste product. Mandrills’ noses, meanwhile, provide an example of how colours can react to their environment. Amazingly, they grow redder as an individual becomes more dominant. There’s also evidence that eating carrots can make you more attractive, even if they can’t help you see in the dark. GARY ROSE

just 14 days away and the scope and ambition of Iain Hollands’s thrilling, good-hearted drama has not waned. Mat Baynton’s Jamie is on the hunt for his daughter and he finds quite a few answers. Meanwhile, Operation Saviour could be in jeopardy unless Kyle Soller’s Scotty saves the day — but he might have to sacrifice his lovely sister. The dilemmas are pretty epic for Rob Lowe’s Father Jude and sexy Sister Celine as well. Does God want what the audience has been crying for all series — that they actually get it on? Betrayals, life, love, death, deception and the odd stunningly implausible coincidence — this series has it all. BD

CHILDREN’S CHOICE

DRAMA It’s hard to remember when a

television series was anticipated with such breathless expectation as Broadchurch 2, shown earlier this year. Chris Chibnall’s masterly first series two years previously had been a huge hit, talk-about TV at its best. Inevitably Broadchurch didn’t please everyone. But it stands up to a second viewing, as we eavesdrop on the aftermath of young Danny Latimer’s murder. Detective Alec Hardy (David Tennant) is back, along with the angry Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) as she tries to hold her family together and face the judgement of her community. AG

Josh 10.30pm BBC3 SITCOM New series A harmless —

if unremarkable — comedy from Josh Widdicombe (the squeaky-voiced one from Channel 4’s The Last Leg). Based around a London flat-share, it charts the misadventures of the gawky Josh, his laddish mate Owen and the “emotionally damaged” Kate, who this week must navigate a sexy pool party — but oh no, Josh can’t swim! Jack Dee also features as an intrusive, socially inept landlord. There’s nothing here you haven’t seen before — only then it was probably better, sharper and quicker.

The untold story of The Last Post. 11.04am R4 FM GETTY

Grim discoveries in 1820s London for Nightingale (Richie Campbell), Marlott (Sean Bean) and Pritty (Charlie Creed Miles)

Shelley’s creature, The Frankenstein Chronicles is made up of various components — a bit of Ripper Street here, a dash of Sherlock there and a big chunk of English Gothic at its heart. It has a solid period feel and a grubby menace, and a terrific cast led by Sean Bean as John Marlott, a fair and decent police officer with a Hidden Pain who is ordered by the Home Secretary (Silent Witness’s Tom Ward) to clamp down on the hideous work of grave robbers. But children are going missing and there are abominations afoot. There’s the odd cheap shock — you’ll still jump even though you know what’s coming — and the whole thing positively sweats a clammy, creepy atmosphere.

Body trouble Big 1111 6.55pm Film4

12.05am The Informers H Drama. Billy Bob

FREEVIEW CHOICE

The body-swap ate Hollywood in the male-identity crisis of the 1980s. In Big (review, p43), a 12-year-old wishes he was a man and turns into Tom Hanks; in Vice Versa, Judge Reinhold swaps bodies with his son; and Dudley Moore does likewise in Like Father like Son. We have 1976’s Freaky Friday (Friday Sky Disney) to blame, with Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster role-switching (later restaged by Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan). But even that was nothing new. Vice Versa the novel came out in 1882, and was first filmed in 1948, with Roger Livesey and Anthony Newley. ANDREW COLLINS

The Beach 1111 4.10pm Sky Greats This year saw the talented Alex Garland turn director with Ex Machina (see choice, p118), but it was his debut novel The Beach that first got him noticed. Danny Boyle’s adaptation casts Leonardo DiCaprio (who celebrates his 41st birthday today) as the young backpacker seeking adventure in Thailand, who gets more than he bargained for when he’s given the location of a secret beach. True to the source book, the film succeeds in evoking in us the same feelings of longing and regret experienced by its characters. SIMON ROSE

PICK OF THE DAY

Unforgotten

9.00pm ITV

DRAMA This wonderfully human, and humane, crime drama ends with a haunting and moving episode, an essay in the corrosive power of secrets that have been secret for too long. Writer Chris Lang is so clever, giving us a police procedural that isn’t swamped by any show-off knowledge of actual procedure, but which instead draws its strength from a clever, understated police officer and characters driven to extremes by their fallibility.

SOAP Brothers, eh? What to do

SITCOM Sheldon has a hissy fit on discovering his room-mate Leonard has effectively moved in with Penny. Yes I know they’re married, but this is Sheldon we’re talking about — and he’s rabidly change-averse. After calming down he seems cool with the idea, and starts interviewing for a new roomie. But the fact that he now wants to live like it’s 2003 (before he ever met Leonard) is eloquence itself. That sounds like it could be sad, but actually this feels more like Big Bang of old, with the serious bits deflected by cute gags and nerdy silliness (Raj and Howard forming a group and singing a song about Thor). Also, the continuity person has woken up: Raj’s mysterious disappearing girlfriend Emily is back. MARK BRAXTON

when you fall out with your sibling? Send them a terse text? A strongly worded email? Not if you’re Andy and Robert! Not since Cain (the one in Genesis) started giving Abel evils have two brothers had such an epic grudge. But you can kind of see why they can’t just kiss and make up. After all, Andy holds Robert responsible for his wife’s death, while Robert has overheard a big admission from Andy about the shooting. Well, there’s only one way to solve this: a drive to the death. But will either Sugden make it out of this smash-up in one piece? DAVID BROWN

Lang, and Nicola Walker as detective Cassie Stewart, haven’t put a foot wrong as the years are rolled away and we finally discover how hapless young Jimmy died. The wounds inflicted by guilt and blame have suppurated in the decades since, even among those who didn’t strike the fatal blows. I hope in some way that Unforgotten can return. I want to see Cassie, and her sidekick Sunny (Sanjeev Baskar) again. And we need to hear so much more from Chris Lang. ALISON GRAHAM

historical epic clearly knew their audience when they cast the petal-lipped Alexander Dreymon as stateless ninth-century warrior Uhtred: tonight we begin with a shameless buttock flash as our man bathes in a river, very much in the style of Sam Heughan in Outlander. But they’ve also found a disciplined actor who is willing to play a mix of leading man and supporting foil. Tonight’s fine episode is punctuated by two-handers in which Uhtred’s interlocutor shines, be it his rosy new wife Mildrith (Amy Wren) or, most enjoyably, Saxon overlord Alfred (David Dawson). Dreymon deserves credit: he’s making this show tick. JACK SEALE

feel inspired by Ben’s previous escapades, battling the elements from Alaska to Namibia, how does Devon sound? Stig and Dinah live an organic, waste-free lifestyle they describe as “ad hoc”. Their home is a horse box, and they’re so eco-friendly that their two boys have to check the weather to see if they’ll have enough solar power to use their PlayStation. It hasn’t been plain sailing for the family, though, and Fogle is keen to probe their troubled relationship with their neighbours. It’s a lifestyle you have to admire. But while it looks idyllic during the summer, you can imagine winters must be tough. GARY ROSE

DOCUMENTARY Keep some

Warp Films is the production company behind this cool Euro crime drama, which lures you in with a specially penned David Bowie track that sounds like a Bond theme in hyperspace. It’s based on the fascinating real-life saga of the Pink Panthers, a group of high-end jewel thieves easily as audacious as any big-screen bandits. Here, the felonious punks’ latest diamond heist is complicated by the shooting of a young girl. And now they can’t shift the ice for love nor money. Samantha Morton plays the loss adjustor on their trail; John Hurt, her boss. “I’ve always admired the Pink... They have class,” he claims. As does the show itself, on the evidence of this opener. GR

pearls within clutching distance as Outnumbered star Tyger Drew-Honey investigates the idea that for young British adults in 2015, it’s not so much that they’ve got past homophobia, and more that they’ve stopped recognising barriers between straight and gay. Students in Brighton explain how same-sex encounters between friends are no big deal, while a night out with the only 6ft 5in transgender woman in Peterhead ends with Tyger questioning whether he’s as heterosexual as he thought. The point, that worrying about absolutes isn’t necessary, is a valuable one. Less enlightening is the barely relevant opening section at an elite sex party. JS

picture desk — hardened, tobaccochewing pros — tapped me on the shoulder. “There’s been a mistake,” they said. “This Rent a Cop show is supposed to be a documentary about a private security guard, not a sitcom, right? So why have we been sent a photo of a man dressed as a granny?” There was no mistake, it’s just that the life of Francis Jones and Sparta Security is pulled straight out of a sitcom. This week: Francis escorts a bus full of drag queens on a boozy trip to Leeds for his client.

How Straight Am I? Tyger Takes On

SITCOM For all the beauty on show, Mackenzie Crook’s sylvan sitcom has no time to stand and stare. Without you noticing, tonight’s rustic stroll stealthily advances to the point where you wonder if the show can ever be the same again. Russell and Hugh are engaged in what turns out to be a grubby task for the mayor. It dovetails neatly into the WW2 plot, while Lance’s date and Becky’s frustration with Andy take us intriguing places. Detectorists looks effortless, but I’m sure every shot, gag and beat is scrupulously planned, written, acted. And it’s all quietly stunning. MARK BRAXTON

already calling this the Welsh Woodstock,” chortles host Rob Brydon of his variety show Children in Need fundraiser with Tom Jones. Sir Tom himself arrives on stage, looking like a great big grey lion, to much vocal, voluble excitement from the crowd at Wembley Arena. And there’s a bit of mischief with a Kiss Cam when the camera focuses on those who might or might not be couples and they have to kiss. Some are more enthusiastic than others. Interspersed with the fun, including Rob Brydon and David Walliams going in for a snog (see above) there are poignant, sometimes heartbreaking little films focusing on the work of CiN. The charity helps children like Dylan, who finds great joy and comfort in music therapy after the death of his little brother. Children in Need night is tomorrow. AG

A common goal Remember the Titans 111 12.30pm Sky Greats This slickly made true-story drama tackles the potentially explosive subject of football and racial desegregation in 1970s America. When two Virginia high schools are combined, Denzel Washington supersedes his white counterpart Will Patton as head coach. Inevitably, this causes friction between them and among the players, as they try to overcome hostility and prejudice in the pursuit of sporting glory. Ryan Gosling appears in a small role as one of the team, and he celebrates his 35th birthday today. DAVE ALDRIDGE

The Ghost of Greville Lodge 11 Demand5 Available on demand until the end of November, this teaming of George Cole and Prunella Scales will keep the grown-ups content as the youngsters hide behind the sofa. There’s a hint of The Children of Green Knowe about this eerie ghost story, as orphan Jon Newman arrives at his uncle’s rambling country manor. But the action quickly turns into a more traditional supernatural mystery, as the teenager ventures through the doors of the forbidden west wing. Worth watching for Cole and Scales alone.

From 7.00pm BBC1, 10.00pm BBC2

ENTERTAINMENT Pudsey ears and T-shirt on?

Credit card at the ready? Sustaining snacks and liquid refreshments to hand? Cushions plumped? Yes? Then you’re all set for this year’s extravaganza of entertainment in aid of disadvantaged children. Terry Wogan and team co-host the marathon — we’re talking seven hours. Among the highlights is the cast of EastEnders bringing a touch of Hollywood glamour to Walford, several of the Call the Midwife stars trying their hand (or should that be feet?) at Strictly Come Dancing and Lord Sugar joining forces with the Stig for a star-studded Star Wars spoof. There’s also the emotional climax of The One Show’s Rickshaw Challenge, a nerve-racking abseil down Blackpool Tower by Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills and a performance by Rod Stewart (whose Hyde Park concert is also being shown on BBC4 at 10pm). In between all the fun there are sobering reminders of what this evening is really about. It seems that every year the total raised for Children in Need increases (see panel, right), but that’s no reason not to put your hand in your pocket again. So why not pledge your money early, before you’re simply too exhausted to do it. JANE RACKHAM

FRIDAY 13 NOVEMBER HOW WE MADE... “It’s a very different environment to most other schools,” says John Keyes, production manager of Gordonstoun: a Different Class (Sky1 8pm). “It balances outdoor education alongside an academic curriculum. Famously attended by members of the royal family, it was an exciting opportunity to find out what it’s like to attend.

“With as much filming outside of the classroom as in it, it tested our crew and camera equipment’s ability to handle the north of Scotland weather. “These teenagers are special — often hundreds of miles from home, in a boarding house, they learn that self-improvement and adaptability are as important as exam results.”

Whovians! The breakfast magazine show is out and about today in east London, where the ExCel centre is hosting the Doctor Who Festival for three days, starting today. The Doctor himself, Peter Capaldi, is the event’s big draw, alongside showrunner Steven Moffat. Capaldi, who is always an interesting and engaged conversationalist, is interviewed live on this morning’s Good Morning Britain. No doubt he’ll strike an artful balance to tease the upcoming Doctor Who season finale, without spoiling it.

It was, by Grand Designs’ standards, a minuscule budget for a complicated and revolutionary project, which involved using bespoke German prefabricated panels to reinforce the old bungalow walls. As McCloud said, it was “the extreme edge of self-build”, but by the end he announced it was “one of the most beautifully crafted houses I’ve ever seen”. Twitter agreed — there was an outpouring of love for the simple all-wood interior. McCloud returns to north Cornwall to see how the family has settled in. JR

8.30pm BBC2 (Wales: Sat 14 Nov) DOCUMENTARY This faithful dog of

a series returns to the southern hemisphere where we find Reverend Richard Hines picking tussock grass for his Palm Sunday crosses, and gazing wistfully into his favourite cove as he contemplates retirement. One of many reasons why this window onto a far-flung corner of the UK is soothing. We learn that the Falklands is the only place that celebrates the Queen’s actual rather than official birthday, and that parties lasted two days because it took so long to reach neighbouring settlements.

last week, Michael Portillo returns to travel the train tracks of Greece, starting with a brief history lesson in Athens. Before heading north for Delphi, he sails through the impressive Corinth Canal, and learns that the 1920 expansion of the Greek railway network caused the country to go bust. “History repeats itself,” says his modern-day guide, sagely. Always game for a laugh, Portillo also pops on a pair of shorts to re-enact Chariots of Fire. JR

An Island Parish: Falklands

Live International Football 7.30pm (kick-off 8.00pm) ITV Spain v England Spain coach Vicente del Bosque saw his side’s Fifa ranking dive-bomb from first to 11th in the months after the World Cup. An overhaul was overdue. Del Bosque and England’s Roy Hodgson arguably have the same problem now: the best players in their countries’ best clubs can’t play for the national side. In Spain’s final Euro qualifier, for example (a dead rubber, admittedly), there was not a single Real Madrid player in the starting line-up — the first time that’s happened since 2009. Tonight’s friendly experimenting should make for an intriguing matchup: will Ross Barkley’s exuberance be a help or a hindrance for England? Can Spain trust Diego Costa — and if not, who else can lead the line? Just under six months away from Euro 2016, it’s time to find some answers.

Spain v England With both sides through to Euro 2016, the teams will hopefully feel free to turn on the style in this friendly in Alicante (kick-off 8.00). In other challenging warm-up games, England face France at Wembley on Tuesday and travel to world champions Germany in the spring. The Spanish, who won the last two European championships, had something to prove in making it to France next summer. Their failure as defending champions to make it beyond the group stages at last year’s World Cup had left a big dent in Iberian sporting pride. But with the likes of Chelsea’s Cesc Fàbregas and César Azpilicueta and Manchester United’s Juan Mata in the squad, and a safe pair of hands in Mata’s Old Trafford team-mate David de Gea, Spain bounced back with just one loss to qualify for Euro 2016. However, England surpassed that with a full house of wins and Wayne Rooney, who will be back on the international stage after breaking Bobby Charlton’s record for the most goals scored for England, will be going for more. Presented by Mark Pougatch, with analysis by Lee Dixon and Ian Wright. Clive Tyldesley and Glenn Hoddle are in the commentary box. Highlights are at 10.45pm. See page 111.

In this seductively strange and thought-provoking thriller, computer programmer Domhnall Gleeson goes through the looking-glass when he spends a week with reclusive genius Oscar Isaac. Gleeson’s purpose once there is to perform a variation of the Turing test on an advanced AI (a strikingly sensitive Alicia Vikander) to determine whether it has consciousness. Audiences may find themselves one step ahead of the story, but writer/director Alex Garland keeps things compellingly cerebral, questioning in a satisfying way what it is to be human. EMMA SIMMONDS

7.40am Sky Drama/Romance On 24 October at the ripe old age of 95, Maureen O’Hara died. Raised in Dublin, Ireland’s most famous export to Tinseltown lent her vivacious, flame-haired beauty to The Quiet Man, The Parent Trap (Fri Sky Disney) and McLintock! (Sat 5USA) among many others. I was especially sad to hear of her death, having just returned from a holiday in West Cork (her adopted home since 1969) where her face still features on signs welcoming you to Glengarriff Golf Club.

celebrity ’ fluff Nick Grimshaw has A-list pals but who are his real heroes? BBC Radio 1’s Teen Awards Sunday 3.00pm Radio 1, 5.30pm CBBC

ick “Grimmy” Grimshaw is supposed to be talking about the Radio 1 Teen Awards, but there’s a problem. He’s just recorded an interview with Justin Bieber for the station’s breakfast show and the Canadian crooner has mistakenly lef t his phone in Grimshaw’s possession. Although he’s doing his best to eulogise about the Awards – which celebrate the achievements of everyday teenagers – Grimshaw is more than a little dis trac ted, constantly peeling off to liaise with PAs and drivers on the best way to resolve this very A-list problem. “Justin’s at Claridge’s. Shall we drop it off for him? Then we can drop the clothes off for him as well. OK, let’s take it to mine and they can come and collect it, whatever, OK, OK. I’m SO sorry about this,” he says, turning back to me. “It’s been quite the day.” It sure has. He started the morning with Adele and the much-hyped first play of her new track Hello on the Radio 1 breakfast show. Then came his date with Bieber and now he’s off to rehearse for tomorrow’s X Factor live show. (Grimshaw joined the series as a judge earlier this year.) Add to that the recent launch of his capsule collection for Topman and it’s hardly surprising that there’s an air of the headless chicken about him. “I leave the house at 5am and get home at midnight. I was really ill recently and someone

job you’re hearing celebrity fluff, and I think teenagers get a bad press, so it’s nice to hear from real people who are doing incredible things. We’ve picked stories that are important topics for families to talk about at the kitchen table.” Grimshaw is a firm believer in the power of conversation to break taboos. As a boy, growing up in Oldham, he knew he was gay from an early age and talks with refreshing nonchalance about his sexuality. “I never felt as an adult that I even had to come out. I only feel like you’re coming out if you’ve been married, or pretended you were straight… I never had any false thoughts in my brain. I didn’t have three kids and then go, ‘Guess what guys?’ There were no bulletins to be delivered because it was all I ever knew.”

In 2012, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour. I didn’t understand at first and then I felt sad, but after that I just got on with it. I decided to fundraise for the charities that were helping me. I’ve raised £7,500 for the Ronald McDonald House Birmingham and £4,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Grimmy called me to tell me that I’d been chosen as a teen hero. I’m so excited to go to London for the ceremony and meet him!

Raising the Bar: 100 Years of Black British Theatre and Screen Monday—Friday 1.45pm Radio 4

In his rare time off, Grimshaw is frequently snapped leaving London’s most exclusive nightspots with a gang of A-list friends that includes Kate Moss, Harry Styles and Douglas Booth. His Instagram page shows them lounging by infinity pools and devouring Sunday roasts in country pubs. How does he know that he hasn’t fallen prey to the world of “celebrity fluff ” of which he’s so dismissive? “It’s funny, you do become friends with people who are celebrated as celebrities because you’re in an industry where you’re with them all day, in the same way that dentists would become friends with dental nurses, you know? I mean, Florence [Welch, lead singer of Florence and the Machine] I’ve known for years, and then when they get super-famous, it does look like, ‘Oh, he just hangs out with famous people.’ ” e also has a firm grip on the perils of celebrity and its potentially toxic influence on the teenagers. “Fame is a tricky one. If you’re Amy Winehouse and famous for writing great songs, that’s great but it blows my mind that so many people engage with someone like Kim Kardashian. She’s got nothing to say, no opinions on anything. I’d hate teenagers to think that’s the way to be happy because it’s not – it’s fake.” Who does Grimmy look up to? “Someone like Miley Cyrus. For all the rolling around in her knickers, she actually has a conscience and founded her own charity for transgender youth. When she hosted the MTV Video Music Awards this year she got all the kids to come on and speak. Just putting transgender teens on TV to middle America is very powerful. “And after spending the morning with Adele, I would say her as well. She’s 100 per cent into being herself. I think that’s something quite heroic – to be cool with yourself.” And with that, he’s off to be measured for the suit he’s wearing on The X Factor this weekend – another element of the whirlwind celebrity lifestyle that he so clearly loves but which, to his credit, he knows isn’t quite real.

Steve McQueen is the first black director to win an Oscar. His next project is an as yet untitled drama series for BBC1 about a West Indian community in London, which starts in 1968 at the moment of Enoch Powell’s notorious “rivers of blood” speech. Radio 4’s ten-part series by Lenny Henry (above) traces a century of black British theatre and screen, and in it McQueen offers a unique insight into the inspiration for his TV debut. As a young man he was travelling to work on the London Underground when he noticed opposite a dishevelled Enoch Powell. Next to Powell was a black woman whose baby kept crawling up her body, desperate to touch the old man. As Lenny says, what a shot that would have made! Another story comes from Carmen Munroe, co-star of C4’s sitcom Desmond’s. Her first job in the UK in 1951 was as a library assistant. When she moved to a civil service career in Whitehall she recalls telling a white woman about her work, only to be told how hard it must have been for her “working on the buses,” as if that was the only career option for a black person in the 1950s. This series is not a comfortable listen nor should it be. It’s shaming and full of hope and celebrates black creative talent without a whiff of patronisation or gliberalism.

Psychopath Rob is using Henry’s Bonfire Night accident as a reason why Helen should take it easy at home. But will she be tempted to take to the stage again?

was like, ‘Well, we don’t have time to go to the doctor’s so…’ It’s ridiculous!” With Team Bieber en route to retrieve the phone, he turns to the Teen Awards, an annual ceremony honouring both the year’s best music and three “unsung heroes” – teenagers nominated by the public for their courage in the face of adversity. Among this year’s winners is Rosie, a committed fundraiser living with incurable brain cancer. “I’ve known family members with cancer and it’s all-encompassing, but Rosie has done extracurricular stuff. As a teenager with multiple inoperable tumours that’s outstanding, because I think an adult with cancer would struggle to do anything.” Grimshaw will host the ceremony from Wembley Arena but insists it isn’t just another presenting gig. “The Teen Awards are one of the reasons I wanted to work at Radio 1. It has a conscience and a social message rather than just getting you to press ‘play’ on songs. A lot of the time in my

MY DATE WITH BURT AND ADELE

Dallas revisited The week I struck Ewing oil

ateline: Dallas, Dealey Plaza, 2015. I appreciate that, journalistically, it would have been more exciting to have been here 52 years ago, but I wasn’t born then. This is my second visit to the site where JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald/a man wearing a police uniform on the grassy knoll/the mafia/the CIA/the Cubans/the Russians/his driver/Sue Ellen’s sister, Kristin. Last time I missed a small but important detail on Elm Street, the three-lane road where the president met his end. In the middle lane, a few yards apart, there are crosses, which appear to mark the very spots where the shots hit their target. Astonishing. No wonder the shooter(s) had no trouble. I can’t help thinking that if the Secret Service had done their jobs properly and noticed the crosses before the assassination, things might have turned out more agreeably for everyone. How did Oliver Stone miss them? I’m visiting this fine city to celebrate my impending 50th birthday. Ten years ago, my good friend, television’s Richard Arnold and I marked my last landmark birthday in New York City. Like two characters in a downmarket,

GETTY

Why Richard Arnold ‘ isn’t punched more often, I don’t know ’ poorly scripted film, we vowed that if I survived until my 50th (indeed, if we survived the week in New York), we would travel to Dallas together. Why Dallas, you ask? I’ve a passing interest in the TV serial of the same name. And Richard… well, if I tell you that Dallas was Richard’s specialist subject on Celebrity Mastermind, you’ll have some idea of his passion for the Greatest Primetime Soap in History. You and I can both name Southfork Ranch as the improbably small home of the Ewing clan, Pam as Bobby’s wife and Donna Reed as the unfortunate woman who replaced Barbara Bel Geddes for a season only to be yanked off screen without so much as a thank you. But Richard’s knowledge of Dallas is such that if he was that clever about, say, renewable energy or interstellar space travel, the world would be living off power generated by thin air, and holidaying on the other side of the universe. RadioTimes 7–13 November 2015

At this year’s Glastonbury Festival, I watched from privileged close quarters two elder statesmen of popular music I have much time for. I’d talked my way onto the viewing platform inside the canopy of the Pyramid Stage, a sort of Statler and Waldorf for friends, record company types and hangerson, and thus I had a fine view of both Lemmy and Burt Bacharach. Neither performer moved much — there was little in the way of onstage gymnastics — but both held us with their rather different back catalogues. And by “us”, I should say I’m including a nice young woman standing next to me — who turned out to be Adele. (Burt Bacharach is Graham Norton’s guest, Saturday 10am Radio 2)

MINE’S A GLASS OF RED

For instance, who said: “I always get what I want”; “Dr Elby, he’s GOT to be STOPPED!” or, “Your own land is the most precious thing you can own”? (Answers: JR in almost every episode; Sue Ellen to her psychiatrist just prior to the second shooting of JR, the first having been with his daddy when they were hunting; Miss Ellie staring out at her beloved ranch.)

e’re eating in some of Dallas’s finest establishments. No meal is complete without Richard referring to the waiting staff by the names of characters who used to serve breakfast at Southfork or drinks at the Cattlemen’s Club. The male staff get “Raoul” and the females “Cassie”. Why he doesn’t get punched more, I don’t know. Goodness knows, I have tried several times. A stroll round downtown Dallas is not, on the face of it, the most thrilling experience but, with Good Morning Britain’s showbiz correspondent, it becomes the 1980s again. “Look, it’s the Ewing Oil building! Look, it’s the Wentworth Tool and Dye building! Look it’s West Star Oil!” It’s fun for a while but by midweek I am pushing him into the road and saying, “Look, it’s a Greyhound bus.” Two minutes in the morning is one thing but a whole week? What was I thinking? Eddie Mair presents PM, Mon—Fri 5pm, and iPM, Sat 5.45am both Radio 4

Florid of moustache and ever gregarious, John Tams is a fine fellow and one of the most visible, entertaining people on the UK folk scene. Whenever I spot him at a soirée, I make a beeline for him, knowing there’ll be a glass of red and some tales on offer. You may well recognise him too, dear reader, if you were fans of the TV series Sharpe, in which he played rifleman Daniel Hagman, always ready with a quip and a thoughtful tune. You’ll also know his work if you’ve seen the National Theatre’s amazing production of War Horse; he provided the original songs. Which is why next time I see him, the red wine is on him. (The Ballads of the Great War, Saturday 9pm Radio 2)

A CARVE UP WITH JONATHAN Unlike the angry young men of the 50s or the chemically crazed Irvine Welshes of the 90s, the 1980s produced few defining novels. Best contender for this should be What a Carve Up!, Jonathan Coe’s angry, melancholy, funny meditation on Thatcherism. He evokes Britain’s recent past better than anyone currently writing, be it the 50s in his 2013 book Expo 58 or his Brummie grammar schooldays of the 70s, heady with the prog rock of the Canterbury scene and riven by IRA bombs. His new novel, Number 11, is a sort of sequel to What a Carve Up! It takes the story into our era, and I can’t tell you when I last looked forward to a novel so much. (Jonathan Coe is Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie’s guest, Thursday 1pm 6 Music)

On the eve of Remembrance Sunday, Chris Stuart introduces the annual commemorative festival from the Royal Albert Hall at 8pm. Hot on its heels is another instalment of specially written songs that reflect pivotal moments of the Great War. We are now in 1915 as a new, bloody, protracted phase emerges. Nevertheless, the ballads are melodious, haunting and sung without a hint of mawkishness, and the stories behind them are no less captivating. First-hand accounts of life in the trenches, the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign and the sinking of the Lusitania by turns enthral and appal, while the gas attacks and the agonising deaths are an unimagined horror. But what can never be forgotten or underestimated is the never-say-die spirit of those who refused to quail — and even saw humour — in the face of continual brutality. CHRIS GARDNER

This is a series that would have been unthinkable when I was growing up and the BBC rarely acknowledged that rival channels even existed.

Ceremony of Remembrance from the Cenotaph 10.30am Radio 4 It’s been 70 years since the end of the Second World War and as the number of surviving veterans dwindles, the act of remembrance takes on a wider significance. Fewer people with personal memories of fallen comrades and lost friends means it becomes more imperative to remember what they died fighting for. But we must also hold steady in our resolve to remember the members of the armed forces who have died in recent conflicts, and perhaps take time to think about those struggling to live with terrible injuries and/or post-traumatic stress disorder. Nicholas Witchell sets the scene for the ceremony in Whitehall, while veterans also share their thoughts. DAVID CRAWFORD

Hardeep’s Sunday Lunch 1.30pm Radio 4 Corinne Hutton had put up with an irritating cough for a fortnight before she went to her GP. She was admitted to hospital with pneumonia, septicemia set in and her organs began to shut down. When she awoke from a coma her hands and feet were as black and as hard as ebony — they had to be amputated or she would have died. Hardeep Singh Kohli is audibly amazed by Corinne’s strength of spirit as he cooks lunch for her family. There’s no self-pity, just a joy at being alive against all the odds.

1975 — the Year of Queen 10.00pm Radio 2 On Christmas Eve in 1975 millions of people tuned in to BBC TV and radio to hear Queen’s live culmination of their A Night at the Opera UK tour. It marked the live debut of Bohemian Rhapsody, although it was part of a medley because the band were not convinced that they could reproduce the intricacies of the middle section on stage. It had been a difficult year for Queen (lead singer Freddie Mercury, above) as guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor reveal here to Bob Harris — they had almost split up until a change of management, a life-altering trip to Japan and the release of that single changed their destiny for ever.

One to One 9.30am Radio 4 David Schneider (above) suffers from thanatophobia — an extreme, overpowering and irrational fear of death, which in some cases can stop individuals from leaving home and trigger panic attacks. While few us actively look forward to the inevitable visit from the Grim Reaper, thanatophobia is life-limiting and so, over the next fortnight, Schneider tries to get to the roots of his fear and to find a way of diminishing the power it has over him. He begins by talking with Kathryn Mannix, a palliative care consultant with almost 40 years of experience who has been present at more than 12,000 deaths. She explains the process of dying to him and how acceptance of a “good death”, no matter how severe the illness, is the key to overcoming his fear. Next week he speaks to the writer Jenni Diski about her terminal cancer diagnosis. JANE ANDERSON

Homeland, the brutal US TV spy thriller drama series, could be a prime illustration of what is up for tonight’s discussion: whether the blurred lines between reality and fiction render what we see on our TVs as ‘’faction’’. Are the rules of drama influencing the way the world is presented to us? TV news bulletins employ chapter headings, dramatisations and music to stir emotions. When Michael Buerk brought the plight of Ethiopia’s famine in 1984 to the world’s attention, some US news networks ran this footage to the soundtrack of the Cars’ Who’s Gonna Drive You Home, Tonight? Are we then overvaluing the ‘’real’’? FATIMA HASAN

The Last Post 11.04am Radio 4 There are few pieces of music as famous, or as personal, as The Last Post. Millions recognise the solemn bugle call for its poignant use at the Menin Gate in Ypres, where it has commemorated the Missing for almost 90 years. Yet the piece is not just a vestige of forgotten battlefields but a contemporary mark of respect to fallen servicemen and women the world over. It is this transcendence of space, time and politics that historian Alwyn Turner explores here; from the testimonies of Peter Wilson, who sounded The Last Post at Winston Churchill’s funeral in 1965, to Paul Field, who played the call after the death of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands. Turner presents a selection of fascinating and at times tender insights into a deeply individual experience. TOM GOULDING

Richard Dawkins isn’t the least bit afraid of being smitten. The atheist, evolutionary theorist and author of the 2006 bestseller The God Delusion asserts that the belief in this amorphous being is irrational and harmful to society, and thumbs his nose at the faulty logic of religion. Surely he’s aware that God tweets witty ripostes to two million followers on his Twitter account (@TheTweetOfGod), and probably follows the emeritus prof’s Twitter feed, too? In what promises to be a lively discussion, Dawkins talks to Philip Dodd about his recent memoir, Brief Candle in the Dark: My Life in Science. FATIMA HASAN

“Don’t bring me down,” I complained to Radio 2 when I, and other radio critics were issued with an embargo on announcing who was going to perform at this In Concert exclusive. I am not an evil woman and the on-air announcement will be made on the network the day before this issue goes on sale, but an embargo is an embargo and, who knows, our printers might just tweet the news all over the world. Such is Radio 2’s collective power that I do not wish to turn to stone in a psychic showdown — their strange magic is unfathomable. And so it is that I litter this choice with lyrical clues that I trust will shine a little love for the fanatical following of this Great British band, introduced by Jo Whiley (above). JANE ANDERSON

The Lost Songs of Hollywood 11.30am Radio 4 Of the many classically trained composers who fled Europe in the years before the Second World War, some, like Tiomkin, Korngold and Steiner, went on to define the Hollywood sound in films such as High Noon, The Adventures of Robin Hood and Gone with the Wind. Others ended up writing for the Lassie films. But sometimes they also wrote songs that expressed their feelings of exile from their home country. Soprano Julia Kogan (an exile from the Soviet Union) visits Los Angeles, where she unearths some of these poignantly personal works and sings to Walter Arlen, Hollywood’s last surviving exiled composer, at his 95th birthday.

Lives in a Landscape 11.00am Radio 4 FM Three years ago, a retired Warwickshire couple were so appalled to read about a bullied schoolgirl who committed suicide, found clutching her teddy bear, that they decided to turn their ten-bedroomed home into a refuge. Alan Dein (above), our foremost and sublimely empathetic oral historian, speaks to Vivian and Fred Morgan about the school they set up to assist other bullied children between the ages of 11 and 16. “We’re not people who sit back and do nothing. When we heard of the situation facing youngsters we just knew we should try and help,” explains Fred, who was 90 when they opened up the school just over three years ago. Now aged 94, he and his wife’s energy and commitment to the project is still as strong as ever and their pupils refer to it as “like being in a friend’s house”.

John Finnemore’s Double Acts 11.30am Radio 4 FM Alison Steadman, Isy Suttie, Celia Imrie and John Bird have been among those comic actors jumping at the chance to appear in John Finnemore’s (he of Cabin Pressure fame) remarkably adept two-handers. There is a touch of Hitchcock’s comic noir in all of these shorts and today’s episode is no exception. Beth Mullen co-stars as the worst teacher of English conversation to Elke (Rebecca Front), a keen student in the small German town of Tuttlingen. As with all of Finnemore’s pieces though, no one is quite what they seem. JANE ANDERSON

Justine Greene BBC Coventry and Warwickshire Age 40 Current job Presenter of BBC Coventry and Warwickshire’s Sunday breakfast show (7.00am). She is also a newsreader for BBC Radio 2, 6 Music and the World Service, and a regular presenter for the World Service. CV Born and brought up in Coventry, she studied drama at Loughborough University and broadcast journalism at Highbury College, Portsmouth, and began her broadcasting career with Choice FM in Birmingham. Worked for BBC Wales (radio and TV) and BBC London (radio and TV) before joining Radio 5 Live as news presenter (2003— 11). Joined Radio 2 and 6 Music in 2011 and Coventry and Warwickshire in 2013. Best moments “Presenting the breakfast show for Nicky Campbell on 5 Live for the first time, and joining the Radio 2 breakfast team and chatting to Chris Evans — huge moments for me.” Worst moment “A through-the-night stint for BBC Wales on millennium eve, watching the fireworks through the window and wishing I was there.”

Off air “I live between my town house on the Thames in Greenhithe, Kent, and, at weekends, my parents’ home in Coventry. I have two big beautiful cats, Oscar and Theo, and spare time is spent doing amateur dramatics (I’m playing the mother in Enid Bagnold’s The Chalk Garden at the Geoffrey Whitworth Theatre in Crayford in May). I’m a big ice hockey fan, supporting Coventry Blaze.” First radio memory “Mercia FM.” Favourite broadcasters “Steve Wright — so slick, such a pro. And Andrew Marr, Julian Worricker and Peter Allen — great natural interviewers.” Ambition “My own national radio show would be terrific.” Dream job “Presenting Children in Need with Sir Terry. And to play Roxie Hart in Chicago and Sally Bowles in Cabaret.” Secret skills “I’m a trained dancer — ballet, tap, stage and modern/jazz. I relax with body balance, a combination of tai chi, Pilates and yoga. And I play the flute.” DAVID GILLARD Listen countrywide at bbc.co.uk/ bbccoventryandwarwickshire

Toasted oats, mango, blueberries & yoghurt Oats fill us up and act as a slow-burning fuel, so are a perfect start to the day. They’re high in fibre, and the minerals phosphorus and magnesium, keeping our bones strong and healthy. SERVES 1 handful of porridge oats • 1(50g) tsp fennel seeds • 11 level tsp coconut flakes • 2heaped heaped • yoghurt tbsp natural small handful of blueberries • 1optional: water • 1 small riperosemango • / a banana • / a lime • optional: manuka honey • 1 1

2 2

Put the oats into a small frying pan on a medium heat with the fennel seeds and coconut and toast until lightly golden and smelling delicious, tossing regularly. Tip into your bowl and spoon the yoghurt on top.

Return the pan to the heat. Place the blueberries in with a good splash of water and a few drips of rose water (if using), which will add an incredible perfumed flavour. Simply boil for a couple of minutes until the berries burst and you have a loose sauce, then spoon over the yoghurt.

Slice one of the cheeks off the mango and cut a criss-cross pattern into the flesh, making sure you don’t go all the way through, then turn it inside out so all the pieces pop up into a mango hedgehog (keep the rest of the mango for another day). Peel and slice the banana, then dress both mango and banana with a squeeze of lime juice. Add to your bowl and tuck right in. Great as it is, or if you like you can drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the top before serving. CALORIES 329kcal FAT 8.3g SAT FAT 3.4g

Mining for

Poldark Discover the reality of Ross Poldark’s life and times in this Cornish retreat, says Landmark Trust director Anna Keay Restoring Britain’s Landmarks Wednesday 8.00pm C4

EASY STRIDER KARWAI TANG ; GETTY: ANDREW TUCKER

Nothing sets the pulse racing like a gorgeous historical romance, and Ross Poldark galloping home to retrieve his family’s fortunes kept us all glued to our screens earlier this year. We knew Poldark – with its mouthwatering Cornish countryside, doomed copper mines and love across the social spectrum – was fiction, but we loved it anyway. But the story of Poldark’s life and times are closer than you’d think to historical reality. This is revealed in the amazing story of Danescombe Mine, the derelict Cornish copper mine near Calstock saved by building rescue charity the Landmark Trust, which features in Channel 4’s series Restoring Britain’s Landmarks (Wednesday 4 November at 8pm). Cornwall was for centuries an end-of-the-line sort of a county, poor and remote with little going for it. While East Anglia boomed through the Middle Ages with wealth from the wool trade, Cornwall was a backwater. This was not because it didn’t have rich natural resources – there were endless seams of valuable copper beneath the surface – but because it was impossible to extract the metal on any scale without

the tunnels filling with water. Then in 1712 Thomas Newcomen, a tool salesman from Devon, unveiled his new invention: “a fire machine for drawing water from the mines”. His contraption, which used steam in a cylinder to propel a piston, was the first true steam engine and would change the world. The creation of the steam or “Newcomen” engine, designed to pump water out of copper mines, transformed Cornwall’s fortunes. Landowners who had for hundreds of years

earned little from their rough acres were suddenly able to get at the priceless tracts of copper beneath their lands. By the time of Ross Poldark’s story, the 1780s, around 100 distinctive tall stone engine house had sprung up across Cornwall. Danescombe Mine, which has a similar tall engine house, stands in the Tamar valley on the south side of Cornwall, and was built on the Cothele estate. It was commissioned by the Edgcumbes, an ancient Cornish family who found new wealth with the sudden explosion in the copper mining industry. In 1789 King RadioTimes 7–13 November 2015

import vast quantities of copper from South America. The result was a dramatic collapse of the British copper industry. By the middle of the 19th century, copper production in Cornwall had shrunk to a quarter of its former size. Danescombe was among the scores of mines then that were closed, and in 1872 its machinery was sold off. The 6th Earl of Mount Edgcumbe made an inheritance tax deal with the Treasury, and the ruins of Danescombe Mine came with it.

T TRANSFORMATION Danescombe’s engine house is now a fine residential space

George III and Queen Charlotte visited the gregarious Richard Edgcumbe – who chanced much of his family’s new money on the gaming tables of London – at Cothele, and he was given an earldom. While the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe, as they now were, enjoyed their renewed wealth, life in their copper mines was hard and hazardous. Half of Cornwall’s thousands of miners were very young men, aged between 15 and 25. The work was dangerous, with numerous deaths – a quarter of the men never reached 30. As well as hauling the minerals up from the ground, the mine workers operated the huge machines that crushed and ground them – also powered from the engine house. The crushed minerals were then taken down the Tamar river to a smelting works to be roasted and smelted to burn off impurities. This had to be done where there was lots of coal, and scores of smelting works were established in south Wales. Here Cornish tin was made ready for pipes and pans, and the new British copper coinage was (and still is) minted. But the wealth that was created by the Cornish copper rush was to go almost as fast as it came. Ironically it was the steam engine that was responsible for both. With the creation of large-scale steam ships that could cross the Atlantic at speed, it was soon economic to RadioTimes 7–13 November 2015

he Landmark Trust first visited Danescombe Mine in the early 1970s, and it was an incredibly sad sight. The roof had collapsed, the engine house was derelict, the machinery and internal fittings had all gone. It was ruinous and swathed in foliage and ivy. The Landmark Trust took a long lease on Danescombe Mine from its new owners, the National Trust. We then undertook a massive restoration project. It would be one of the earliest conversions of an industrial building into a house – the beginnings of a model that would provide a lifeline for hundreds of buildings across the country. The result is a wonderful hybrid, an engine/ house. Like all our buildings, it is let for holidays to provide enough income for us to maintain it. The top floor, where the beam of the engine once pounded up and down, is now a bedroom where visitors can dream of Cornwall in days of yore – knowing that this fascinating part of its past has been saved.

ALAN BENNETT In cinemas from 13 Nov

Alan Bennett first wrote about Miss Shepherd — the woman who lived in a van on his driveway for 15 years, until her death — in an essay for the London Review of Books in 1989, and the attraction of The Lady in the Van (£6.50, incl £1.25 p&p) hasn’t faded. Bennett resists trying to make sense of the formidable lady in the van (played by Maggie Smith); instead he keeps her in sherbet lemons and ginger nuts and offers help when he can. Bennett’s personal archive is now kept in Oxford’s Bodleian Library, although here he offers tantalising excerpts from her correspondence, which includes letters addressed to the College of Cardinals, Jesus, and “Someone in Charge of Argentina”. (See feature, page 24) LAURUS EUGENE VODOLAZKIN Open Book Sunday 4pm Radio 4

Eugene Vodolazkin’s mystical novel contains so many herbal concoctions, purporting to cure symptoms such as warts, coughs and “bedroom troubles”, that his translator, Lisa C Hayden, makes a point in her introduction of warning the reader: “Please don’t try these at home.” Set in medieval Russia, the novel follows the titular Laurus, who learns the art of folk medicine from his grandfather and becomes a spiritual healer. The blend of prophets, pestilence and prayer went down well in Vodolazkin’s native Russia, winning the country’s top literary award in 2013, but Laurus (£13.49, incl p&p ) only made its English-language debut last month.

The Government is looking for 130,000 pensioners who are owed an average of £1,000 each. But critics say it’s not looking hard enough and are urging those who might be eligible to come forward. Those affected are all due money from the Equitable Life Payment Scheme. It will be closed to new applicants on 31 December 2015 so there isn’t much time left to get a claim in. The compensation is due following the collapse of the Equitable Life insurance and pension firm 15 years ago. The scheme opened in 2011 and has paid more than 900,000 eligible policy holders around £1 billion. That is less than a quarter of the amount they lost, but at one time it looked as if they

might get nothing at all. However, the Scheme has not managed to trace 130,000 people who are eligible. Some of course may have died, in which case their heirs can make a claim – but that must also be done by the 31 December deadline.

he eligible non-claimants paid into an Equitable Life with-profits policy between 1 September 1992 and 31 December 2000, but have not registered with the compensation scheme. Anyone who thinks they may be entitled to Equitable Life compensation – for themselves or a deceased relative – should call 0300 0200 150. You will need the Equitable Life policy number and National Insurance number to hand. If you qualify, payment should be made within two weeks. RadioTimes 7–13 November 2015

Why it’a safe to tap and pay DOUBLE YOUR MONEY The cash the Government expects to save by not finding the 130,000 missing policyholders is partly being used to double the payment already made to around 40,000 beneficiaries of the scheme who are on a low income and get pension credit. They will be sent a second payment equal to their first early in 2016. The average second payment will be around £1,000. Anyone who has already had a

ince I wrote about the spread of contactless cards several readers have emailed to ask, as Brian Wood did, “Suppose that I lose a contactless card and do not notice the loss until I next require the card… anyone finding it could run up a massive debt on it.” That cannot happen. First, the card provider will bear the cost of any fraudulent use after you inform it of the loss. Second, it cannot charge you more than £50 for any fraud before you report the loss. In practice, at the moment, card providers are paying the first £50 too. That is partly because fraud on contactless cards is tiny — a tenth of the rate of fraud on cards generally – and partly because they want us all to use the system more without being put off by fear. So tap and relax! I do.

ino D’Acampo is aghast. You would think he’d been asked to dish up a no-frills ready meal for the Queen. In fact, it’s the mere idea of a meat feast pizza – that late-night takeaway favourite – that is upsetting him. “Meat feast?” he almost spits. “What is that? “You guys have completely bastardised the pizza by putting chicken wings and pineapples and weird kebabs on it.” As far as the celebrity chef is concerned, a pizza means a margherita: “Tomato, mozzarella and fresh basil. Any other pizza should be banned.” D’Acampo is a proud Neopolitan – hence the passion for pizza – but in his latest series he is no less effusive when describing the delights of Sardinia and Sicily. Filming marked his first visit to the motherland of the Mafia, but Sardinia is his bolthole of choice: for the past three years, he’s spent six months a year in his villa in Olbia, in the north east of the island. Unsurprisingly, D’Acampo is adamant that the best way to discover Italy is through its cuisine. “If you’re going to Rome, have a nice spaghetti carbonara,” he advises. “You will see straight away the difference between what you get here and what you get in Italy. Then go down to Napoli and have buffalo mozzarella from a mozzarella shop. Don’t put it on a plate, don’t put any oil on it, no basil; eat it like an apple. You will see all the milk running down your arm” – he rolls up his sleeves to demonstrate – “because that’s what a proper mozzarella is all about.”

ALAMY

ardinia’s culinary culture is divided into food from the sea and the land, thanks to over 1,000 miles of coastline whose seas are harvested by fisherman, and mountains that boast even more shepherds. On Sicily, he finds island dishes flavoured by millennia of conquerors: the Greeks brought wine, figs and olives; the Moors introduced citrus fruits, spices and saffron; and the Spanish served up tomatoes and chocolate. This is D’Acampo’s third series exploring Italy’s charms, but he says there are many more of his country’s kitchens to explore. “I want to go to the regions nobody knows – Calabria, Umbria, Abruzzo. Each region is like a completely different country. They have their own way of doing pasta, sauces, everything.” If anyone can sell the charms of Italy, it’s this chef. “It’s the home of the best food in the world,” he insists in that irresistible accent, barely flattened by his years in Britain. “The wine is excellent. The weather between June and September is amazing. The beaches are incredible. It’s a very old country with lots of tradition, loads of history. You never get bored.” Gino’s Italian Escape: Islands in the Sun continues next week on ITV

Italian Gino D’Acampo says Sicily and Sardinia have the best food in the world – but think before you order STREET FOOD IN SICILY Snack on the go “Palermo is famous for its street food. It’s cheap, fast and tasty. Vendors use seasonal produce cooked to order,” says Gino. Look out for chickpea fritters, panelle, and stuffed rice balls, arancini, which are a favourite with students. Drink dessert The Greeks introduced wine to Sicily in 800 BC, but marsala wine was created by Englishman John Woodhouse in 1770, who then exported this sweet, fortified wine all over Europe. “It’s got a sweet, delicate flavour.” Make a stop at a pastry shop “Sicilian sweet treats owe their origins to Arab and African influences. So expect candied fruits, pistachios and dates as well as spices like cinnamon and cloves.” You must try cassata, a sponge cake soaked in rum, and cannoli, fine pastry tubes filled with sweetened ricotta cheese. Enjoy a palate-cleanser Another legacy of the Arabs, granita is an ice-drink traditionally

flavoured with citrus fruits, almonds or coffee and often enjoyed at breakfast. It’s said that Francis Ford Coppola enjoyed 14 granitas a day when directing The Godfather on the island. “Depending on how it’s made and which part of the island you are on, granita is either smooth or grainy, but it’s always refreshing.”

COUNTRY COOKING IN SARDINIA Eat like a farmer “Nestling in the hills all over this beautiful island are working farms with restaurants known as agriturismo. Each one can specialise in just one product, but all of them serve only what they have grown or reared themselves.” Feast on pork… “Sardinia is famous for its pork products: sausages, salami, cured ham. It’s so important that the national dish is suckling pig. It’s like the ultimate hog roast and eaten on special occasions. Traditionally, it’s served on RadioTimes 7–13 November 2015

You cannot call it Cannonau if it’s not at least 14 per cent. It’s good that it’s strong, so it can take on all these flavours.” Try a taste of Spain! “Originally a fishing village, Alghero, in the north west of the island, is one of Sardinia’s best-preserved medieval towns. What makes it fascinating is its mix of Italian and Catalan cultures, a hangover from when it was conquered by the King of Spain more than six centuries ago. The Spanish nicknamed it Little Barcelona.” EMMA DALY

Dictionary corner Susie Dent Why is the zip in a pair of trousers referred to as the “fly”? Tony Griffiths Shrewsbury The root of the word “fly”, meaning to “soar through the air”, dates back to ancient times, and the word has been used since the beginnings of English. Around the 1800s, “fly” began to be applied to the flaps of a tent roof or door; soon after, it became the word of choice for the “flap” on a

garment that covers the buttonholes. Such flaps had been around since the 1600s, as uncovered buttons were considered a little risqué. The word “zip” is an imitation of the sound of a light, sharp movement; its application to a clothing fastener emerged in the 1920s.

She told RT that she was so fed up with being type cast in Tinseltown that she was writing her own film script. “If my agent gets calls for me to do anything, it’s still mad, fat girls, people with eating problems, mothers of eight or matrons.” Inside, BBC2 celebrated Britain’s love of a cuppa with a doc about the nation’s tea lovers. “It has to be good, strong traditional tea,” said lorry driver Brian Noble. “None of your watery Earl Greys.” 2001 10-16 NOV

David Suchet posed to introduce a BBC1 adaptation of Anthony Trollope’s The Way We Live Now. He revealed that he was too old-fashioned to enjoy filming racy scenes. In a film called Sunday, he’d been “embarrassed to find myself looking at this beautiful Israeli girl, completely naked, getting into bed and obviously going for the Oscar with me in action on top of her.”

Black Beauty star Judi Bowker and Christopher Guard posed ahead of BBC1 drama Wilfrid and Eileen – the true story of a couple torn apart by war. Inside, BBC2’s Horizon asked if Star Wars-style laser warfare would ever be realised. The ex-head of the US Air Force said lasers would destroy “every ship at sea, every plane in the world, every missile.” KASIA DELGADO

Annie Manley Belper, Derbyshire

… I can’t believe ITV would show this programme so early in the evening. It is no Merlin or Atlantis and is definitely not suitable for children. V Coyne Liverpool

NICK AND THE GANG Many hands made light work of a DIY SOS project in Manchester

DIY SOS: Homes for Veterans (14/21 October BBC1) was inspiring, energetic and thoughtful. Presenter Nick Knowles and the team succeeded in fulfilling the enormous task of getting purposerenovated homes for ex-soldiers in a street that would have otherwise been demolished. All who took part in this exercise, from the presenter down to the workers and volunteers, deserve a pat on the back. We need more programmes like this rather than those about well-heeled individuals with oodles of money who want to relocate! Is there any chance of a follow-up in a year’s time to see how these ex-soldiers are getting on?

An ITV spokesperson comments: “ITV always considers carefully the content of its programming, and of course suitability for younger audiences is something we care about and give a great deal of thought to, hence our very specific announcement highlighting the fact that younger viewers may find Jekyll and Hyde scary.” As RT went to press, Ofcom announced that they would be opening an investigation into whether the level of violence before the watershed was unsuitable.

Margaret Braithwaite Birmingham

A BBC spokesperson tells Feedback: “The DIY SOS team will be keeping a close eye on what’s happening in the street. They are in touch with their partners on the project – Manchester City Council, Walking with the Wounded and Haig Housing – and hope to follow up on what happens at some point in the future.” Margaret Braithwaite wins an Evoke D2 portable DAB digital and FM radio, along with a Pure ChargePAK B1 rechargeable battery pack. The radio has a walnut veneer casing, contemporary styling and the latest digital amplifier. It retails for £84.99 (see www.pure.com).

SPEAK OUT ON SUICIDE

BLITZ SPIRIT

The documentary Professor Green: Suicide and Me (27 October BBC3) was extraordinary. I knew very little about the singer, but knew this was must-see TV. I showed my daughter the RT article and we were grateful that it flagged up the programme – in which he discussed his father’s suicide – for a wider audience. The programme came at great personal cost to Professor Green (Stephen Manderson) and I applaud his bravery. I’m sure there are many families, mine included, that have had the tragedy of a young man taking his own life. This was a huge step forward to address the issue and its untold suffering.

Just before the start of Pointless (BBC1) on 22 October, the continuity announcer informed us that The One Show would be “celebrating” the Blitz. The people here in Plymouth were certainly glad to survive, but one thing they have never done is “celebrate” those terrifying times. The correct word was “commemorate”.

TEATIME TERRORS What is ITV thinking? I have just watched the first episode of Charlie Higson’s Jekyll and Hyde (25 October ITV) at 6.30pm – Sunday teatime. Terrific sets and production, brilliant acting, but what age group do they think this is suitable for? I am an adult and found the

HANDBAGGED BY TINKY WINKY Teletubbies was my secret guilty pleasure growing up. Although it was aimed at pre-schoolers, I was six when it first aired, and continued watching through its four-year run. When the remake of Teletubbies (Mon–Fri CBeebies) was announced, I was worried we would end up with CGI characters, but it turns out that, as with Clangers, the producers have put all their love and dedication into making it true to the original. Kids will still be entranced by actors in suits rather than animation (as seen in RT, 3 October). Of course I, and thousands like me, watched Teletubbies on the BBC of a morning. Our household may not make use of CBeebies or CBBC, but I’m awfully glad that they have not been hit

by budget cuts. Children deserve their own channels. Only one question remains: will Tinky Winky still have a handbag? Bryony Harrison London SW19

Yes, indeed – in fact all the new Teletubbies still have their favourite things (inset below). Look out for the lowdown on Teletubbies in next week’s issue.

FATAL LOCATION I was loving Totally 60s: Psychedelic Rock at the BBC (23 October BBC4) and suitably amazed at the revelation (to me) that both Keith Moon and Mama Cass Elliot died in Harry Nilsson’s flat only two years apart. Amazed because although Mama Cass did die in 1974, I was under the impression Keith died in 1978 and not 1972 as stated on the programme. Still, it was a trippy time – anything could have happened. Fiona Cowie Glasgow

Keith Moon did indeed die at the flat at 9 Curzon Place in Mayfair in 1978. Spookily enough, both he and Mama Cass were 32 at the time of their deaths.

WHICH LAND? The Last Kingdom’s Saxons go into battle

UNTIMELY NATION What a shame that Bernard Cornwell (RT, 17 October) had no involvement in the scripts for The Last Kingdom (Thursdays BBC2), which is based on his Saxon Stories. The whole point is that Wessex under Alfred the Great was the last part of the country to be free of Viking rule. England as a unified entity did not exist until later, when Alfred had finally succeeded in resisting the North men’s dominance. Yet in The Last Kingdom the term England was used for Lord Uhtred’s forces – when it didn’t exist! Dorothy Archer Truro, Cornwall

and collapsed. However, the vertigo associated with Ménière’s does not lead to fainting, or any sort of loss of consciousness... unless of course the person strikes their head while falling! And yes, betahistine is normally the prescribed drug, but saying that the patient will recover in two years would sadly be denied by the majority of Ménière’s sufferers. My faith in the doctor is shaken, although I’ll still enjoy watching the programme! David Stuart Habrough, Lincolnshire

FLYING THE FLAG I adore Naomie Harris and have done so since I saw her in White Teeth, so I was thrilled when she took on the role of Moneypenny in the new James Bond film Spectre. However, it was interesting to see Kirsty Lang’s description of Harris’s casting (RT, 24 October) as being a radical move as “M’s loyal secretary has usually been pure Home Counties”. Lois Maxwell, who played her in 14 films, was Canadian, a far cry from the Home Counties!

REMEMBERING LISA I was shocked to learn of the recent death of Professor Lisa Jardine. I left school at 16 and along my educational journey have had two heroines – both beacons of broadcasting light whom I’ve followed avidly and admired. The first was Antonia Fraser; and then when Professor Jardine arrived on the broadcasting scene, her Sunday-morning A Point of View slot was never to be missed. I hope a repeat of her Desert Island Discs programme will be broadcast, in which she spoke fondly of her father, Dr Jacob Bronowski, the presenter of 1970s series The Ascent of Man. He would surely have been immensely proud of her achievements. Pamela Moffat Morton-on-Swale, North Yorkshire

A BBC spokesperson tells us: “There are plans to rebroadcast the Desert Island Discs episode on Radio 4 Extra in the new year, as part of an ‘absent friends’ collection. The programme is available to listen to and download on the website and will remain on the Desert Island Discs homepage – bbc.co.uk/ programmes/b006qnmr – for the coming weeks.” A number of Prof Jardine’s A Point of View broadcasts are also available on iPlayer Radio. e

I had the good fortune to become Brain of Britain in 1993, and my main reason for entering the competition was to meet him. On the first of the three occasions we met there was a rehearsal, and Mr Robinson asked, “How many ribs does a normal adult have?” I had been in the Royal Army Medical Corps and I knew the answer was 24.

For example, on Wednesday at 5.55pm there’s Anthony Asquith’s 1950 British thriller The Woman in Question, with Jean Kent, Hermione Baddeley and a very young Dirk Bogarde. And on Friday at 4.15pm you’ll get a rare chance to see Hand on the Gun, from Sam Peckinpah’s 1960 TV series The Westerner, made before his film career took off.

Gail Wilson, Croydon, south London Talking Pictures TV is a new independent film and TV channel. Its managing director, Sarah Cronin-Stanley, tells Feedback that there was no capacity left on the main Freeview service, which is why the channel — even though it’s not broadcast in high definition — is only on the HD multiplex.

CAMERA PRESS; NEALE HAYNES; GETTY

How do you prepare for a concert performance? You need to get into good habits: a light diet, no smoking, no alcohol. It’s like being an athlete.

You’ve collaborated with all sorts of stars – Plácido Domingo, Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder. Is there a singer from the past with whom you wish you could have sung a duet? Frank Sinatra. I’d have liked just to have been in the same room as him. Is there a singer you listen to again and again? My idol – before he also became my mentor – was the tenor Franco Corelli. I listen to his music all the time. In fact, I was listening to him just a couple of hours ago – a wonderful duet he recorded with Renata Tebaldi from Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, and an aria he did with her from Verdi’s Otello.

But you enjoy films at home? Sometimes, if there’s a film that everybody is talking about, then I might try it. But normally a good film is taken from a good book – and I’d much rather read a book than watch a DVD. If you read a novel and then see the movie, it’s never as you’d imagined it. What do you enjoy on TV? I watch TV mainly for the news and football matches – I support Inter Milan. I’d much rather enjoy a match from a nice armchair at home than a noisy stadium. But it’s important to me that we don’t have a TV in the dining room. When the family sits down for a meal, you should be talking to each other. You need to give time to your children. You need to speak to them. Do you have any guilty pleasures? Food? Wine? Anything that is sinful! My biggest weakness has always been that I love women. I could live without wine, without food – but not women. The jazz musician George Melly spoke of his relief of losing his libido as he got older. He said it was “like being unchained from a lunatic”. You’re 57… Well, I like these chains very much! And I’d rather hang on to them. I’m not an old man yet! VINCENT GRAFF
