KATIE’S COLUMN
What Katie says Katie intends a weekend of literature, but discovers what often happens to best-laid plans
Brought to book This week I ran off to the Bath Literature Festival. It was easy. So easy, that I gloated at my own initiative all the way from my front door to the railway station. I threw two dresses, four pairs of tights, some ‘f*ck me’ heels, a notepad and my credit card into a bag and – hey presto! – an hour later I was cruising through green fields on the GWR with the sun shining through the window. I bought a mini bottle of Pinot Grigio in the buffet car and spent the journey with a big red pen in my hand, circling the authors I would seek out to interview when I arrived – like a kid flicking through the toys section of the Argos catalogue. “I want that one, that one, and that one,” I planned. “Five minutes with him, ten questions for her and a signed copy of his
autobiography.” (When you’re a journalist you’re used to getting spoilt). By the time I skipped out into the Georgian streets of Bath I was high on cheap white wine and anticipation. The sun was shining, my heart was singing, and John Carey – my hero – was there for the interrogating.
“I circled the authors I would interview – like a kid flicking through the toys section of the Argos catalogue” I sneezed. A grey cloud broke into rain. If I hadn’t been in such a good mood I would have noticed then that this was the beginning of the end. Instead I rushed off to my first talk at Bath’s impressive Guildhall. So, this was supposed to be a column about books. That,
Image: Chris Ashfield
after all is why I have come all this way to the literature festival and why my lovely cartoonist Chris has drawn that excellent picture of me swamped in a pile of multicoloured hardbacks looking miserable/sexy/librarianish. It was going to be a column about how the literature festival went; it was to tell of how funny Iain Banks was, how Kate Adie didn’t turn up, how Denis Healey patronised me, how John Carey shook my hand and how Melvyn Bragg is even more filthy in the flesh. But somewhere, after my sneezing began a double act with a hacking cough, and my head turned to cotton wool, it stopped being a column about literature and started being a delirious rant about the injustice of finding yourself knocked out by flu when you’ve got a literature festival to write about. So this isn’t a column about literature. Right now I can hardly spell it. Instead, it’s just the miserable grumblings of a girl whose mind has turned to mush and whose eyes have filled with water and whose nose is as red as Rudolf’s – but less pretty. A girl who’s found herself stuffed up in bed with no fewer than two duvets and a thick cable-knit cardie, with a wad of tissues to her left, a teapot filled with Rooibos to her right and a bowl of clove oil burning on the table ahead of her. Outside in Bath, a cider-fuelled, book-reading, intellectually sparring, world-class-author-riddled literary festival is happening – but I can’t leave my bed. People criticise journalists all the time for being subjective – or worse still – liars. They call for objectivity and truth as though they’re some Holy Grail a writer should aspire to. So this is the truth about my trip to the Bath Literature Festival – I am bored and I am ill. I am alone and miserable, in a gloomy West Country bed. And, in the course of telling you about it, it now seems an appropriate time to suggest that lying about it would have been so much more interesting.
Dear Katie Dear Katie, I like your column and a lot of the things that you have to say, but I’m afraid I think you are wrong about David Cameron. I think he is right to suggest that he, like all politicians, has the right to what he terms a ’private past’. It is bad enough that we are already living in an age where so many who go into politics do so as career politicians, and perhaps the only way to encourage ‘outsiders’ into the political field is to allow individuals who are entering politics to draw a line under their pasts. After all, people can learn to change. And I dare say even you have said or done things you now regret. As you yourself suggest, sometimes it is those candidates who have a past that can have the most interesting things to add to the political sphere. But only by allowing them to keep that past to themselves might we attract them to it at all. David Dear Katie I read your column all the time – but I don’t know why. All you seem to do is moan about stuff. I can hardly believe you are actually being paid to produce this rubbish on a regular basis. But the worst thing you’ve written yet is all that nonsense about Jade Goody. Chutzpah? Cheek? Crap more like. Anyway, you’ve told us before that you don’t even watch telly, so maybe that’s the real explanation for why you like her so much – unlike the rest of us you’ve never actually had to suffer her. Get a life and get a real job and get a better role model. Sally Comments, queries and general chitchat can be sent to: katie@thelatest.co.uk

THE RHYME
Eminemmylou The UK’s first and only rap and spoken word column. This week with Shiva Govinden I get all sorts writing to me: here, the rhyming volcanologist Like a pyrotechnic poet or a volcano-rap anthropologist But how many words can you rhyme with lava? This fearless guy’s got it rapped up, without any palava I’ve visited 11 volcanoes in the world, Began in ’87 with Trou aux Cerfs, of which few of you have heard. That’s located in Mauritius – an extinct crater lake, In ’03 onto Japan where a weather-swept Mount Aso’s summit I couldn’t make. Ventured onto Hakone, riddled with sulphur and steam vents, That place stinks – far worse than the stench of camping, three in tents! In Hawaii I hiked to the top of Diamond Head, A trek that costs you a dollar, so you’re not seeing red. That same afternoon I foolishly tried to walk to Koko Head, Gunshots from cadets’ fire convinced me to return: didn’t want to be dead. A few days later on Big Island – the amazing Kilauea, Got to see a huge crater, and red hot flow of lava. Extensive basalt flows had covered a road, Awesome volcanic power from a vent through landscape mowed. The one to visit next was Etna: Europe’s biggest, like an angry bee, Extremely dangerous one, had to be careful cos me mum was with me! Its summit craters rumbled above my mum and I, Awesome noise like that could make your eardrums cry. The final two I’ve been to are in the Aeolian Islands, Panarea and Stromboli, with differing sands. Extinct Panarea had white sand, Stromboli black coloured, Amazing to see, glad these places we discovered. Stromboli erupts lava fountains every forty minutes or so, At night it’s a breathtaking firework display, so you don’t feel low. Where volcanic hazards are concerned, you know rarely in advance, You have to be so careful, you get no second chance. People think I’m nuts for having this hobby, But I don’t, for beauty and power like that you can’t lobby! Every single volcano I’ve ever seen has been great for learning, Up there you feel so small when you see the way pyroclastics have been burning. Would be nice to visit another volcano – very soon I have a date, Off to Mount Aso in Japan I go, not going to sit here in Hove and stagnate!

The backlash starts here Rose Gunn on why she prefers her holidays to be different to her real life… If I were ever stupid enough to apply to go on the TV programme ‘Holiday Swap’, my idea of holiday hell would probably be a luxury ‘all-inclusive’ holiday centre in tropical climes. To me, going to a beautiful country some 5,000 miles away, then not actually seeing it, is a heinous crime. I am aware that, to most people, this is ’holiday heaven’, as the popularity of these glorified holiday camps speak for themselves. I understand why, because I too was brought up to believe that a holiday was a place where you did everything exactly the same way as you did at home, only in the sun, with better scenery and no going to school or work. We never went abroad when I was young. My mother’s fears of foreign food and people from council estates made it too risky. So we went to Dorset in the 1970s, where we would get up at the crack of dawn, make our own sandwiches (just like at home), then commute several miles to the beach where it would be impossible to park and my dad (and indeed the car) would be near boiling point after driving round looking for a space for two hours. Then we'd sit on the beach all day, moaning about how windy it was and how much sand had got

RELATIONSHIPS
Dani’s diary aged 19 Dani the “over-hormonal, yoyo-knickered teenage strumpet”* is making plans for the summer In an effort to make sure this year goes without a hitch, I’ve written a list of everything I need to do. These lists are mainly for me to use to organise myself for the summer. They are very complex, but without them I don’t think I will make it to – or through – the festivals I have in my diary. I have written down everything I will need, how much it will all cost, where I can get things from and for how long I will have to temp to get there. This is really dull, but this is what my life is like now. People say that once you accept anxiety as part of your life you will deal with it better, but I think they are lying. I have been dealing with it for about nine months now and I know it’s something I can’t just brush off, but knowing that hasn’t made it any easier – it’s actually made it harder. Imagine if you knew that every day for the rest of your life you will have to walk on egg shells. You will have to wait and see how you feel on the day because you can’t plan anything and, if you do, you spend the time up until then so nervous you can’t sleep or eat! It’s awful, and I think it’s really unfair that I have to deal with it. But that’s the way it is. I can’t change it, no matter how hard I try. I want to give up smoking this year but I’m having a hard time working out how I’m going to make it through my life without the one thing that seems to help me stay sane! I know it’s bad to say that, but honestly,
“People say once you accept anxiety as part of your life you will deal with it better, but I think they are lying” when I have a bad panic day the only thing that gets me through it is a ciggie. If I make it through the whole bus journey without freaking out and getting off early then I’ll reward myself with a fag. Because I’m addicted, I use it as an incentive to get myself to do the things I no longer find easy to do. If I had enough money I might reward myself with a pair of shoes, but I can’t afford it. And don’t mutter under your breath that if I didn’t smoke I could use that money to buy shoes! My list for today contains 14 things I have to do, so I should really get on with things. I’m trying very hard to live in the moment and not let this beat me, but when the thing you have to deal with is something that can pop up at any point without any warning, it’s hard. I can accept that in this very moment I feel OK, but I know that I could very well be sitting in the corner rocking back and forth the next. The lists and the ciggies don’t stop me having panic attacks, but they help me deal with them when I do. Preparing for something like going away to a festival is now akin to a military operation, because if I forget something from the metaphorical comfort blanket that is my list, then I’ll be screwed. Well probably not, but I will believe that I won’t make it through to the end. This is rubbish. I’ve accepted it but it’s no easier. The bloody liars! *New Currents, January 2006
into the sandwiches. We'd then go back to the B’n’B for a gruesome dinner, served at precisely the same time we usually had it at home. Because I was a ‘poor local’ in London for many years, I had neither the time, nor the money to go on holiday for about 10 years. Then, at the age of 28, I booked a package tour to the Canaries, which cost £149, including flights and accommodation. After a day, I was horrified to realise that the hotel was full of dysfunctional British families, they sold Kellogg’s Corn Flakes in the shop, and I might as well have saved my £149 and got drunk with my own dysfunctional family at home, where there was actually far more to do. Fortunately, we became friendly with a local DJ, who introduced us to a few Canarian traditions, one of which involved drinking copious amounts of the local ‘Jerez’ ’til 6am.
“We never went abroad. My mother’s fears of foreign food and people from council estates made it too risky” I've never booked another package holiday. To me, a holiday is somewhere away from my ‘safe’ world. If I'm lucky, it might include danger, foreign food and poor locals. If I can speak the language, all the better as it's easier to get out of – or sometimes into – trouble if you know the local dialect. I once met a man in a bar who’d just been to Morocco. He was very sniffy about the fact that the locals ‘weren’t very good at speaking English’. To him, I'd say: Dorset’s quite nice at this time of year.

INDEPTH
Won’t want no sleep
Prepare for a large bout of insomnia as Faithless come to Brighton. Katie Glass looks at what makes them so special Faithless already seem such an institution in British dance music, that it's hard to believe that they only formed just over a decade ago, in 1995. Although ‘founded’ might be a more appropriate way to describe their coming together, since the group is ever reforming from a diverse collective of musicians, that remains centered on its founding members – rapper Maxi Jazz, producer Rollo and DJ Sister Bliss. Coming together from a background built on the momentum gathered in the rise of illegal raves and pirate radio, one that was storming the UK underground scene in the 90s, Faithless was one of the first dance groups to make the transition from the dance floor to the charts. And are still best known for their classic anthems that span the two worlds – ‘Insomnia’, ‘God Is A DJ’ and ‘We Come 1’. Critically acclaimed and award winning, Faithless’s phenomenal international success can only be a result of their inimitable combination of ambient, euphoric music and spiritual, socio-political lyrics. Of which ‘Insomnia’ is no exception: I used to worry, thought I was goin’ mad in a hurry Gettin’ stress, makin’ excess mess in darkness No electricity, something’s all over me, greasy Insomnia please release me and let me dream of makin’ mad love to my girl on the heath Tearin’ off tights with my teeth But there’s no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast At least a couple of weeks Since I last slept, kept takin’ sleepers But now I keep myself pepped Deeper still, that night I write by candle light I find insight, fundamental movement, uh So when it's black this insomniac take an original tack Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack I gets no sleep, I can’t get no sleep, I can’t get no sleep, I can’t get no sleep I need to sleep, although I get no sleep I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
“They bring hip hop and dance genres together in a cataclysmic cocktail” Someone once told me that what made dance music great, was when you could dance to it in a club and talk about the lyrics on the way home. And it’s a definition I come back to every time I hear Faithless play. Since their ability to make an incredible tune, one that is guaranteed to get the crowd writhing in time, is only equalled by their searingly sophisticated lyrics.
The group have previously described themselves as a hybrid of hip hop and dance, but, like their founding members’ talents, they bring those genres together in a cataclysmic cocktail more impressive than the sum of its parts. It's hard to identify any single unit in the Faithless mix that makes it so exceptional. With artists as impressive as Dido (who is Rollo's sister), Pauline Taylor, Jamie Catto and Zoe Johnston among those who have guested in the line-up, still no addition or subtraction appears to make them lose momentum. With four albums under their collective belt (Reverence, Sunday 8pm, Outrospective and No Roots), a greatest hits compilation (which comfortably flew to number one in the UK charts selling over 1.2 million copies) and now a fifth album out, To All New Arrivals, the band seems unstoppable in its meteoric rise. But among their most incredible and unforgettable moments have been their live performances, especially those at the summer festivals, such as V and Glastonbury – earning them Q magazine’s Outstanding Performance award. Perhaps what this reveals is the core of what makes Faithless unstoppable – an enigmatic quality, which goes beyond music or lyrics, to their sheer contagious energy. Faithless are at the Brighton Centre on Tue 27 Mar, at 6.30pm, tickets are £25. For tickets see www.brightoncentre.co.uk or call 0870 900 9100 latest 7 9

Kevin’s midnight turntablism
Lunching in Brighton last week Jo spotted the dear old Queen of Blighty and a soap princess Last week the city was buzzing in anticipation of a visit from HM The Queen and everyone’s favourite royal consort, The Duke of Edinburgh. HRH visited the Theatre Royal before having lunch at Brighton Racecourse. I spotted the Queen as her motorcade left the Jubilee Library with its police outriders, and I headed over to meet a client in Carluccio’s. The restaurant felt like national press central command as it was taken over by Fleet Street’s royal correspondents filing their copy while enjoying steaming bowls of gnocchi. Also spotted lunching amid the throng was actress and local resident Patsy Palmer, who was clearly talking business with her partner Charlotte Cutler.
Kevin Rowland, 80s legend of Dexys Midnight Runners fame, has found a successful new career as a DJ. The Kemp Town crooner has regular slots at Arc on the seafront strip, and other clubs around the country where a mix of soul, reggae and Motown is on the playlist.

Thanks for getting in touch with us Alistair – everyone at The Latest are really pleased you enjoy the magazine and welcomes you to Brighton.

That woman off the telly
Brighton Festival has announced its programme for May, which will provide scope for some very good celebrity spotting in and around the city. Gordon Brown, David Dimbleby, Andrew Marr and Shami Chakrabarti are the political big hitters who will be speaking, with Vic Reeves and my personal favourite Leslie ‘Hellooo’ Phillips.
My usual weekly lunch at Wagamama took a weird turn of events last week as I ended up taking part in a new BBC1 game show called Hard Sell. I was just about to tuck into a chicken katsu, when a group of people trudged in with cameras, booms and all that in tow. They sat next to Jackie, Will and myself and it wasn’t long before the chap next to me began to ask for some local knowledge. The aim of the show, it transpired, is that two contestants – after being dumped in a strange town – are given a large suitcase full of random objects to sell to complete strangers. Another team were in their home town of Reading. The team that made the most cash was the winner. The two chaps in question met on another game show – Deal Or No Deal. Yep, you guessed it, they were game-show junkies! I ended up being talked into taking part and buying a pretty rubbish remote control car for £50 – God, I am such a mug! The film crew duly arrived at the office an hour later to film the sale. I tried my best to look surprised at all the right moments and they even bought me a Wagamama cookbook as a gift.

Power house Andrew Kay meets up with the team at Electric Sky and Brighton TV, who are making waves in a global TV marketplace Brighton has certainly become a major centre in the world of film and TV – hardly a week goes by without there being a film crew somewhere in the city. But this, in fact, is the tip of an industry iceberg that has formed here on the south coast. Beneath the surface is a pounding media community, and at the forefront of that is local company Electric Sky and Brighton TV. The company is actually split into three separate companies and David Pounds is the CEO to all three: Electric Sky (the international distribution company) headed up by Karen Young who is commercial director, Electric Sky Productions (the production company) and Brighton TV (the facilities house). Electric Sky is a well-established distribution company selling programmes such as A Place In The Sun to other TV stations all around the world. Known well in the industry, the company specialises in distributing lifestyle and documentary programming. Recently it took on a new one-hour documentary special by fellow Brighton producer Back2Back called Model Prisoners, which goes in search of Brazil’s most beautiful female prisoner. Electric Sky Productions is an experienced and respected production company winning commissions by international broadcasters and a huge portfolio of successful programmes, including Fashion Avenue, a popular lifestyle series presented by international supermodel Jodie Kidd. 12 latest 7
Brighton TV is a leading studio facility in the South. With a vast range of edit suites, camera hire and equipment, the company’s recent clients include: Discovery Real Time, Animal Planet, Gallery HD, Ultra HD, Ricochet South, Lambent Productions, E! Entertainment, The History Channel, BBC, Channel 4 and ITV. I went along to the Montpelier headquarters to meet a few of the people behind the scenes at this thrusting media firm, and to find out what the future has in store. Executive producer Benita Matofska joined the company a year ago from Ricochet, where she was head of development. Her remit now is to focus on terrestrial TV commissions. ‘‘Up until now the company has worked in a truly international marketplace, generating programmes for a global market, which is unusual as most companies start the other way round, making terrestrial TV programmes and wanting to break into that larger market,” she says. “We have already made hundreds of hours of programmes and returning TV series for the international market, which makes us a reliable and experienced supplier for the terrestrial market. ‘‘Five months into joining I was thrilled to have a commission from Channel 4 for a very exciting and highly controversial documentary which, due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter, we are not able to announce just yet, but it’s likely to be a ground-breaking film. We’ve recently won a big commission for
Channel Five – a documentary series called Make Me Brilliant. This unique project features child psychologist and ‘genius coach’ Bernadette Tynan, an extraordinary woman -new talent that we’re bringing to British television. In the series she scours national public-sector schools looking for children who may have been overlooked – perhaps they’re lacking in confidence or are considered ‘just average’. Bernadette discovers their hidden talents and transforms these kids for life. “It is amazing to see her work. With quiet or sometimes disruptive kids she can see through what’s holding them back, building their confidence and enhancing their potential by giving them the creative stimulation and space they need to develop their skills. Many of her techniques are relevant to all of us – she recommends trampolining for 30 minutes each day. Apparently each time we fall, we land differently and each time the brain is forced to find a new way to get back up. It’s a cerebral workout that hones our problem-solving skills.” Make Me Brilliant will work with 7- to 11-yearolds and it’s likely there’ll be one programme made in a Brighton school. It’ll be a great opportunity for all participating schools since the whole school will benefit from Bernadette’s brain-busting techniques. ‘‘We have also been awarded some provisional Channel 4 funding for development which is dependent on match funding from Screen South,” continues Matofska. “This money, a total of £50,000 with the essential matched funding, is awarded regionally and will be used to expand our development team and ultimately boost our production output here in Brighton. In turn, that will create jobs and work for talented people in this region. We have an “Make Me Brilliant’ presenter Bernadette Tynan

excellent professional team here with unique skills, but above all we get access. We access the stories, the people and the places that other people just do not get, and we are good at finding and breaking new talent.’’
“Beneath Brighton’s surface is a pounding media community, and at the forefront is local company Electric Sky and Brighton TV”
Jon Lee
We have a great team of researchers who have fantastic contacts and build strong relationships with hospitals and doctors. Again, as Benita says, our strength comes in strong face-to-camera material with the real people in the story.” Jon Lee heads up Brighton TV’s facilities. ‘‘Back in 2000 the company was basically distribution based with copying facilities and one edit suite. Now we have 16 edit suites, expanded our premises twice and grown even
further, making us the largest facilities house in the region and the one that most professional companies now choose to use. We are about to become a 24-hour service too. ‘‘We have also moved into high definition and are already the leaders in that area in the South. Much of that work is for the American market where they are at least three years ahead of us. While Britain invested in widescreen TVs Americans have stayed with an old format but gone for high definition. ‘‘We also do a great deal of re-versioning of programmes. That can be as simple as removing ad breaks or as complex as removing and replacing voice-overs, and title and credit sequences. “The initiative to push for regional commissioning of TV meant that many London companies started with just a desk and phone out of London locations. That has changed. Major companies like Ricochet are now totally based here in Brighton and the city is fast becoming a major centre for TV and film production, with Brighton TV as the leading facilities house with full postproduction services.’’ Electric Sky and Brighton TV are perhaps not names that you know – until now that is, and they are certainly names that you will be hearing a lot more in the future.

Executive producer Sally Jenkinson is currently working on a series called My Shocking Story which will be premiering on 29 March on the Discovery Channel (also called Amazing Lives for international sales). ‘‘These are extraordinary stories about remarkable people,” she says. “In ‘Coma Miracle’ a drug trial sees people who have been in a persistent vegetative state returned to their families for varying periods of time. It’s very emotional. In ‘My Face Burnt Off’ burns victims undergo ground-breaking treatments in which cells are regenerated and, quite literally, faces restored – again, incredibly moving stories and brilliant technology and medical innovation. In ‘Sleep Sex’ we look at people who perform sex acts in their sleep, an uncommon disorder that can affect relationships, families and even end up in charges of rape. Another series for Discovery Home and Health, Fat Doctor is not an overweight doctor but a brilliant surgeon who performs life-saving surgery on the morbidly obese. The programme takes a close look at how we adapt to changes in our physical appearance. ‘Coma Miracle’

Stick your oar in! An occasional series in which we ask the opinion of both celebrities and lowly proles on a local issue. This week – the Frank Gehry towers. Are they a bold, exciting statement that would finally put Hove on the map, and dazzle both natives and visitors with their astonishing postmodern deconstructivism for centuries to come, or was he just a bit pissed when he drew up the plans? COUNCILLOR MIKE GOOLEY I have great faith in the Gehry project, and firmly believe it will draw tourists from all over the world, revitalising the local economy and proving a cultural jewel in our crown. My opinion has in no way been influenced by the huge backhander I received. Heh heh heh. Oh bugger. Is that thing switched on?
LOCAL COLUMNIST BARRY KIDDING When this old warhorse was knee high to a grasshopper, buildings were buildings – good old fashioned edifices like the Pompidou Centre, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, and the Sony Centre, Berlin. They might not have been exciting or outrageous – but they were solid and reliable, virtues that are part of what makes this country great. That is why I believe Frank Gehry should be beheaded and his body dragged through the streets of Brighton. MRS BETTY RAMSBOTTOM (79), PATCHAM I think instead of these so-called towers the money should be used to build an enormous, 900 foot statue of Tony Danza, the good-looking American actor who played cabbie and failed pugilist Tony Banta in the TV series Taxi.
NICK CAVE Strewth! It looks to me like this Gehry bloke’s been at the grog! Either that or the wacky baccy! The man’s obviously a galah. These towers’ll fall down within the week and kill everybody, mark my words. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. FRONK GAHRY, PORTSLADE Gehry is a genius, and you bastards should be grateful he’s deigned to design something for your miserable little city. Jesus, I don’t know why I bother sometim es. Him, I mean. I don’t know why he bothers sometimes. MRS BETTY RAMSBOTTOM (79), PATCHAM I think instead of these so-called towers the money should be used to build an enormous, 900 ft statue of Oscar James, the good-looking Caribbean actor who played Tony Carpenter in EastEnders.
FRED MARRIOTT (97), HANOVER Blimey! What an eyesore. If you ask me this blooming Yankee doodle dandy Frank Gehry can stick his towers where the sun don’t shine, where the monkey shoves his nuts. Up his arse I mean. MRS BETTY RAMSBOTTOM (79), PATCHAM I think instead of these so-called towers the money should be used to build an enormous, 900 foot statue of Joe Maplin from the TV comedy sitcom Hi Di Hi. Of course, Joe Maplin never actually appeared in the show so nobody knows what he looks like. Therefore I would suggest basing his appearance on that of Tony Danza, but wearing the beret that Tony Carpenter habitually wore perched atop his head.

A laughing matter Victoria Nangle has a chat with sketch show whizzes Laurence and Gus
PETS
Marc the vet Paul O’Grady Show’s Marc Abraham says fitness drugs are no match for looking after your pet
Q You did well in Edinburgh. What are your best and worst experiences of playing the Scottish Festival? A ‘The Scottish Festival’? Is Edinburgh now like Macbeth and it’s bad luck to speak its name? Or do you apply the formula to all things Scottish, just to be safe? The best bit about Edinburgh (I’ll take my chances) is always the same – drinking in the childlike whoops and broad beam grins of those punters who enjoy the show, and who manage somehow to overlook that they’ve paid through the nose to sit in a sweltering classroom. Worst experience? We went to Edinburgh by train in 2003, with our set and baggage in the guard van. For three days after we arrived there were two big suitcases sitting in the hall of our flat. Each of us thought they belonged to the other, but didn’t say anything, until Laurence looked at the luggage labels and realised we’d blithely stolen the possessions of a Canadian couple on their way back to Ottawa. Actually, that was quite fun.
Is your pet overweight? If so, could it be because you are too? Now, I rarely get annoyed about medical developments in the UK veterinary industry. After all, it’s the same ‘kingdom’ that’s ’united’ about being a ‘nation of animal lovers’. Yeah, right! Dogs, like their owners, are suffering more and more from obesity, and for exactly the same reasons. Fact. Our current media fascination with the 21st century unhealthy lifestyle suggests that it is even fast-becoming a national sport of its own. The irony. Television and computers are replacing intense physical activity and the need for the great outdoors; high-calorie snacks are pushing us soft-centred human beings further and further towards that well-stacked dessert trolley in the sky. Even with the emphasis on low-fat foods, we still eat far too much – and find it alarmingly acceptable to feed our pets in the same way – ‘killing them with kindness’.
Q Why the change in format in your shows from sketches to one narrative? A Our usual format is the long form sketch (ten minutes, generally). We wanted to create a show with quicker scenes, for no other reason than to show that we could. But neither of us much likes sketch shows without a theme, or something to bind the scenes together. Our director suggested using the same format as the play La Ronde, where one character from each scene stays on till the next – a meets b, b meets c etc. That has given this show a natural progression, but it isn't really a single narrative piece. It’s a sketch show masquerading as a play, if you like.
Like in humans, obesity in dogs is a serious medical problem. Fat dogs are more at risk in the operating theatre, more prone to injury, diabetes, and have more stress on their heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and joints. Surely any owner understands that food is not a substitute for love or attention? Today's dogs share their biggest problem with their ‘animal-loving’ owners: lack of activity. We’re just too busy, out all day long and tragically, just too tired to play with our own dog to fulfil his exercise needs when we finally get home. So why get a dog in the first place? It would have lived a healthier life at the animal shelter it was ‘rescued’ from. At least he was walked twice a day there. Anyway, the reason my personal feathers have been ruffled is the recent launch of the first canine obesity medication. That’s right; it’s now okay to allow your dog to get fat, because you can then simply give it this new drug! Brilliant. Has our sad lazy convenience culture literally gone to the dogs? With its long list of delightful side-effects including vomiting, diarrhoea and loss of appetite, anyone who agrees to the use of this drug has clearly failed in the simple art of pet-ownership. It would be fairer to give up your dog to someone who’s prepared to look after it properly, to give ‘man’s best friend’ its best chance of ‘survival’. After all, preventing a life of further neglect and abuse will ensure that the poor portly pooch may make it to his eighth birthday, and even be allowed to celebrate without the obligatory, calorie-stuffed cake, complete with doggy icing. If we can’t be a nation of animal-lovers, then at least take steps to show that we care. Increase your exercise regime for yourself and your pet. Cut out tit-bits. Make an appointment to discuss your pets’ weight with your vets. All PETS practices have free nurse clinics just for this. Please use them – not the drug.
Q What happens if you write something that one of you thinks is hilarious and the other thinks is pants? A It goes in the show anyway, and the one who hates it gets the joke wrong on purpose until it gets cut. Either that, or he nurses a quiet and helpful resentment. Q Which new act on the circuit should we watch out for? A Josie Long won the best newcomer award at Edinburgh last year. She's a charming, funny and original stand-up who has found her voice, and considerable success, at a depressingly early age. Laurence And Gus: Next In Line can be seen at Komedia on Thursday 26 March. Tickets are on sale now.

HEALTH
Baby bloom Is trying to get pregnant stressing you out? Miranda Glavin suggests getting back to nature Although the average age to have a baby in the UK is 29, many more women are having their first child much later than this. But many ‘older’ mothers are then faced with the old adage “you can’t have your cake and eat it” on discovering that, although at 40 they may be in a financially feasible position to have their own family, they’ve missed the boat with their body clock. Or because they’ve left it so late, fertility problems that could’ve been dealt with earlier are now much harder to address. But for these women, and all those facing conception or going to fullterm issues, there is plenty of help out there.
Fertility: the facts Recent NHS statistics do demonstrate a worrying increase in pregnancyand birth-related problems,including a higher mother and infant mortality rate. But it is not all bad news, as evidence suggests, regular unprotected sexual intercourse results in 84 per cent of couples conceiving within one year, and a cumulative 92 per cent within two years. Furthermore, age is not necessarily an immediate precursor to failed pregnancy, with 94 per cent of fertile women aged 35 years, and 77 per cent of those aged 38 years, conceiving within three years of trying. And there are steps you can take to increase the chances of a healthy foetus. Limited drinking and no smoking for women is imperative, and although some drinking in men will not harm the foetusto-be, excessive alcohol intake and smoking is detrimental to semen quality and can impair the developing foetus. It is also important to ensure your BMI (body mass index) is between 19 and 29. Finally, men should be informed that there is an association between elevated scrotal temperature and reduced semen quality – so out with those Y-fronts!
Natural fertility Although birth is essentially a natural process, after being prodded and pricked and hospitalised it can feel anything but. Natural fertility’s approach is that by being in tune with the body and birth as a natural process, and by using a combination of therapies, your chances of conception will increase. Organisations using this approach include Sussex Natural Fertility and Brighton and Hove Natural Fertility Centre. The former provides programmes designed to: maximise the chances of a natural conception for healthy couples, enhance the chances of a natural conception for those couples already diagnosed with male or female subfertility, and support and maximise the chances of successful conception through IUI or IVF. They take into account issues such as endometriosis and lifestyle factors in women, and stress and toxicity in men. Both organisations then treat these issues with therapies such as nutrition, homeopathy and hypnotherapy as well as yoga which the Natural Fertlity Centre specialises in. This will give you a healthier, relaxed frame of mind – the best mental and physical space in which to conceive and produce a healthy baby.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK
Fare game
Sponsored by Mr L followed with Ashdown Forest venison loin with rosti, roast shallots with a juniper jus. The venison was amazing, dark and musky, meltingly tender and full of flavour. The shallots, big banana ones, glistened and were the perfect side of burnt as they should be. The rosti we both thought was a bit too crisp, then revised our thought as the texture added an air of game chips to the dish. The jus was sticky and held the whole together. I chose rump of Romney Marsh lamb with roast squash, Swiss chard and a lentil jus. What a dish – more than generous in size with thick slices of pink lamb that the chef had taken to the very edge of rareness to achieve a wonderfull crisp skin and fine layer of sweet fat. The fat and skin on good lamb is sublime and I found myself saving it till last. The roast squash was creamy and sweet, and the chard perfect, bitter in contrast. My jus, different from Mr L’s, was also sticky but dotted with Puy lentils. I really didn’t want it to end but that was all I could manage. Mr L, however, finished with a lemon polenta cake with lemon syrup and marscapone, a good slice with a nice puddle of sauce strewn with candied lemon zest and topped with the cheese. I was too full to even try. We had a glass of red each, a light house wine that did the job, and a bottle of still water. The bill came to about £30 each which, while hardly being cheap, was to my mind incredibly good value. Prime ingredients, mainly local, were treated with care and pride. A kitchen that can roast meats this precisely is to be applauded. I am so tired of roast meats that taste simply of burnt roasting tin. You can stay at the Griffin, too, with rooms starting at £80 Sunday to Thursday and some topping out at £130 at the weekend, but all including breakfast, which if lunch is anything to go by promises to be excellent. I think that I thought that Fletching was miles away from Brighton but it’s only a stone’s throw, and a stone well worth throwing. The Griffin Inn, Fletching, Near Uckfield. Call 01825 722890 or www.thegriffininn.co.uk
Andrew Kay, in shame, finally makes his way to The Griffin Inn in Fletching As I write this, the first and last pubs that I legally drank in were both called The Griffin Inn. The first was when I was 18 – it was my birthday and before my party (fancy dress of course). I went to the pub for the first legal time, the local where my Aunty Marie, who had a glass eye, was a barmaid. I caused a stir for two reasons, the first for announcing it was my 18th birthday when I had been drinking in there for some time, and the second because I was dressed as Shirley Temple. Don’t ask. On Saturday I was far more conventionally dressed when I called Mr L and invited him to spend a day in the country. ‘‘Ditch the Prada,’’ I said, “and I’ll lend you a pair of wellies.” He did his best but still looked pretty smart where as I look liked more like Shirley Crabtree these days than Temple. We took the dog for a long and very muddy walk, bought eggs at the roadside and looked at antiques before pulling into the carpark at the Griffin in Fletching.
Passionate about property, fanatical about food 59 Church Road, Hove 01273 735237 www.callaways.co.uk
‘‘I think that I thought that Fletching was miles away from Brighton but it’s only a stone’s throw, and a stone well worth throwing’’ I am ashamed to say that in nearly 12 years of writing this column I have only just made it to the Griffin, despite it being so famously good. I have popped in for a Bloody Mary before but never to dine. We nipped into the Ditchling Food Company first and bought a few Scotch eggs, the ones I raved about last autumn, and some excellent Wensleydale cheese, which gave me a Wallace and Gromit moment – although which of us was which is hard to tell. Back at the Griffin we went to the bar, ordered Bloody Marys and settled down to read a huge blackboard menu in front of a roaring fire. Mr L had been before and was known, so he asked if there was any chance of a table in the dining room and luckily his influence worked. Before long we were sat at a large round table with some excellent homemade foccacia and rich olive oil. The dining room sells the same food as the bar but without the lowerpriced pubby dishes. It was an easy choice for me to start – razor clams. How often do you see them on a menu? I eat them in Spain where they tend to do that Spanish thing of slowly braising them in a tomato and garlic sauce. Here they had steamed them with chilli and garlic with parsley. God they were good, sweet and meaty, and filling too. Lay three side by side and they are about the size of a steak; four would be too many. I called for a spoon as the broth was too good to waste. Mr L had scallops with a chorizo and coriander relish and caramelised lime. It was gone before I could click the camera. I did get a taste and they were great, really sweet and perfectly, but barely, cooked.

Polar Bar East Polar Bar East is pleased to introduce their new Scottish-based winter menu. This is a style of food we southerners are not exactly familiar with, but Rob and Nolan from the Polar are confident it’s going to be a hit with not only the locals but also with new customers. It’s not surprising considering it’s tipped by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey as the new food of 2007. Yes, this so-called peasant food is growing in stature just as many other so called working-class foods have done during the recent years. Its nutritious and wholesome quantity assures that there’s a sense of home in this food. All the meat is supplied by the premium quality butchers Brampton’s of Kemp Town.

NOTES ON A SCANDAL (15)
BLOOD DIAMOND (15)
22 latest 7
Also showing... A quick look at all this week’s releases Becoming Jane (PG) Dir: Julian Jarrold An oddly saccharine biopic of Jane Austen that chooses to focus on her youth just prior to her literary fame. Anne Hathaway struggles to bring anything but frothy sentimentalism to the role of a young Austen. The script, littered with cloying melodrama, fails to do justice to the subject at hand. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Notes On A Scandal (15) Dir: Richard Eyre Adapted from the superb Zoe Heller novel this film tells the story of teacher Cate Blanchett who enters into an affair with a pupil. Excellent performances from all with a brittle and raw display from Judi Dench. At times genuinely unnerving this is desperate and ruthless display of love gone sour. (4/5) Showing at Worthing from 23 March
Blood Diamond (15) Dir: Edward Zwick Set against the backdrop of the civil war in 1990s Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of South African ex-soldier Danny Archer and Mende fisherman Solomon Vandy. (3/5) Showing at Worthing from 24 March
Outlaw (18) Dir: Nick Love This gritty brute of a film follows Sean Bean as he returns from combat in Iraq to an England awash with crime. He quickly rounds up a vigilante group of disaffected angry young men to dish out justice. Coming off like The Daily Mail with added gore this is a thrilling but often nasty offering. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Charlotte’s Web (U) Dir: Gary Winick A new adaptation of EB White’s classic story sees Dakota Fanning (of War Of The Worlds fame) star alongside the voice talents of Julia Roberts and Oprah Winfrey. A faithful rendering but sickly sweet. (3/5) Showing at Cineworld Ghost Rider (12A) Dir: Mark Steven Johnson Another Marvel big screen adaptation; another sloppy mess. Nicholas Cage plays stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze who gives up his soul to become a hellblazing vigilante in the employ of the devil. It may indeed be big, brash and bold but it’s also blatantly been in production hell for some time and feels dated and tired. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Hollywoodland (15) Dir: Allen Coulter Ben Affleck dons the superman cape in this slick tale of original television Superman George Reeves. Tragic but heartfelt, this is standard Hollywood fare. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld on 20 March Hot Fuzz (15) Dir: Edgar Wright Superb new offering from the Shaun of the Dead crew. This time it’s the turn of the local bobby to get the comic actioner treatment. The last half hour may struggle to sustain the initial brilliance displayed but this is still a cut above the usual comic fare. (4/5) Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Duke Of Yorks Marie Antoinette (12A) Dir: Sofia Coppola The new film from Lost In Translation director Coppola sees her tackle the French aristocracy in typical postmodern fashion. Kirsten Dunst plays the doomed Queen amidst a plethora of new romantic songs, opulent cinematography and mountains of cake. Intoxicating for sure but somewhat pithy and flat. (3/5) Showing at Odeon on 20 March Miss Potter (PG) Dir: Chris Noonan A soft-centred biopic of children’s author Beatrix Potter. Renée Zellweger plays Potter with another pristine English accent. Ewan McGregor, with a truly impressive moustache, stars as Potter’s love interest Norman Warne. (2/5) Showing at Worthing Norbit (12A) Dir: Brian Robbins This mad, chaotic and often excrutiating comic farce stars Eddie Murphy in three roles. Coming off like Big Momma’s House only, dare I say it, with even less laughs, this is unadulterated cinematic slush: loud, fat, crude and vile. (2/5) Showing at Cineworld and Odeon
Rocky Balboa (12A) Dir: Sylvester Stallone Rocky comes back for one last fight in what is an often surprising film. Stallone may be into his sixth decade but he invests a decent amount of thrills into a tired conceit. (2/5) Showing at Worthing from 23 March The Devil’s Backbone (15) Dir: Guillermo Del Toro An extraordinarily rich tapestry detailing a boy’s journey into the dark heart of fascist Spain. A strong second feature from Del Toro but the style does cloud the narrative. (3/5) Showing at Duke Of Yorks on 23 March The Illusionist (PG) Dir: Neil Burger Set in turn of the century Vienna, Edward Norton plays a magician intent on securing the love of a woman well above his social standing. Rufus Sewell and Paul Giammati add able support while Jessica Biel plays the love interest. (3/5) Showing at Odeon and Cineworld The Iron Giant (U) Dir: Brad Bird One of the smartest and most adult kiddies flicks around, The Iron Giant is a worthy adaptation of the Ted Hughes novel. This was the film Brad Bird made before going on to do the excellent The Incredibles for Pixar. (4/5) Showing at Duke Of Yorks on 24 March The Number 23 (15) Dir: Joel Schumacher Paranoia gets the MTV treatment in this flashy thriller. Jim Carrey plays a man who becomes obsessed with the number 23. The premise may be quirky but the film remains a trashy example of Schumacher’s wildly egotistical and debauched world view. (2/5) Showing at Odeon The Planet (U) Dir: Johan Söderberg & Michael Stenberg A worthy addition to the canon of environmental documentaries this is a insightful but dry look at global warming. (3/5) Showing at Cineworld on 21 March The Prestige (12A) Dir: Christopher Nolan A tricky and smart tale of rival magicians in Victorian England. Worth admission for the sight of a restrained David Bowie. (3/5) Showing at Odeon on 22 March Wild Hogs (12A) Dir: Walt Becker A group of bikers hit the open road in search of adventure. John Travolta, Tim Allen, William H. Macy and Martin Lawrence star in an often baffling but occasionally hilarious film. (3/5) Showing at Odeon on 20 March

L7 lowdown Looking back in... New releases reviewed
7 Selects
300 (15) Director: Zack Snyder Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel of the same name, 300 concerns the 480 BC Battle of Thermopylae in which 300 Spartan soldiers fought a Persian army well in excess of 100,000. Snyder has adapted the exhilarating comic touch of Miller and stayed true to the harsh and often extremely brutal violence at the heart of the comic. Gerard Butler stars as King Leonidas of Sparta and is suitably buff. More of a homoerotic bloodfest than a film in the strictest sense, the special effects are all-encompassing and the visuals flit between the breathtaking and the laughable. Pure cinematic indulgence with added sweat. Craig Driver
After The Wedding (15)
Director: Susanne Bier A recent release from Denmark, this is a stylish portrayal of family politics and the issues surrounding child poverty. Mads Mikkelsen, last seen as Bond’s nemesis in Casino Royale, stars as the manager of an Indian orphanage. The atmosphere is one of gentle turmoil as Mikkelsen returns to Denmark in order to secure the $4m he needs to save the orphanage. An often startling film with an array of subtle performances that creep up on you, this is a deft example of European cinema mercifully avoiding the usual clichés of arthouse cinema. A beautiful and bold film.
Factory Girl (15)
Director: George Hickenlooper Another big screen adaptation of the life and celebrity of Andy Warhol arrives, only this time his muse Edie Sedgwick is the focus. While visually stunning and shot through with a vibrant display of colour and sound, this is a flawed and often biased account of a life lived purely for pleasure. Sienna Miller plays Edie while Hayden Christensen plays Dylan and a ghoulish Guy Pearce has the role of Andy Warhol. All are mere impersonations and never get under the skin of such complex and often depraved characters. Ignore the glitz and dig out the more perverse and true Ciao! Manhattan instead.
Premonition (12A)
Director: Mennan Yapo Sandra Bullock continues her gradual slide into obscurity in this mildly diverting story of a woman who sees her husband die only to realise it is a premonition. Bullock spends the rest of the film looking moody and mildly scared as she attempts to halt the inevitable tragedy. Julian McMahon, of Nip/Tuck fame, stars as her doomed husband while the brilliant Peter Stormare is wasted in a support role as a local doctor. This is standard spooky fare that fails to recognise its own inevitable poor reception at the hands of the public.
The Family Friend (15)
Helen Jack gains an exclusive interview with cult director and Hollywood icon Kenneth Anger
This opportunity to meet the famously difficult and somewhat private film maker has resulted from the recent transferral, funded by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, of Kenneth Anger’s early 16mm prints on to 35mm. Anger began making films at the impressively young age of 11, when he learnt how to use a camera as well as grasp the technical and poetic language of cinema. This led to the release of his first film, Fireworks (1947). This accomplished work was made by the 17-year-old Anger over a weekend while his parents were out of town, and concerns the dreams of a young man (played by the director himself). Fetishising the male physique and drawing on homoerotic imagery of sadomasochism in the queered space of men’s public bathrooms, the film is not afraid to openly discuss, through visual language, issues of sexuality and unconscious desires. This was a brave move during a time when Hollywood dominated and homosexual reforms were not of mainstream concern. Some things, it seems, never change. How does it feel to have your older films finally transferred on to 35mm at last? I was fortunate to be chosen by UCLA to have my prints transferred. The thing about 35mm is you get a perfect projection, you have the power of the illumination and you have that strong light source that brings out the colour and detail of the image. When they try to project 16mm print on to a large screen it doesn’t do justice to the film. It doesn’t really matter if you make a movie using celluloid or on digital. It depends on the artist’s eye. You can have a simple camcorder and create something interesting and beautiful. I’ll judge it on its results. Your next film Elliot’s Suicide, focuses on Elliot Smith and the events surrounding his death. How do you feel about the rumours surrounding what happened? Elliot was a good friend of mine. It’s an open case because her [Smith’s girlfriend, Jennifer Chiba] fingerprints were on the knife and it was considered that she had killed him. I don’t think she had the strength to do it. To take a knife and plant it in someone’s heart is pretty hard. It’s not like a piece of cake. I don’t think she could have done it, but she did cause his death in a technical sense because she pulled out the steak knife, which is a big mistake. If she’d left it in him and called 911, they might have been able to save him. It’s a real shame. At 34, he had so much talent and for him to go and do something so ridiculous… How did the two of you meet and become such good friends? Well, we were neighbours in Echo Park, Silverlake [Los Angeles]. He used to play at a place called Sunset Junction and I just swung by one night because there was this music coming out of the place. I just went in and sat down and after about 40 minutes he came over and spoke to me. I feel now that I have an emotional commitment to him. Given your strong reliance on the visual, how would you describe the design and feeling of the film? The film is eluded to like a dream, or a nightmare. There are elements like knives, girlfriends and locked doors set against the banal Californian-type kitchen where it’s very sunny. It’s a 1950s-type thing so it’s this cheerful setting, but it’s splattered with blood. I think it’s an interesting project. ‘The Films of Kenneth Anger: Volume One’ is out now on region 1 DVD Kenneth Anger’s ‘Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome’
Director: Paolo Sorrentino A highly original if occasionally grotesque drama, this is the latest offering from promising Italian director Sorrentino. The film follows Geremia, an ageing loan shark, who lives alone in his shabby house with his scornful, bedridden mother. Nurturing a morbid, obsessive relationship with money, he uses his wealth to insinuate himself into other people’s affairs. Bad things inevitably happen as Geremia falls madly in love with a beautiful young lady. With a gallery of idiosyncratic characters and an often surreal atmosphere, this is below par Fellini searching for an audience. latest 7 23

THE BIG GIG
THIS WEEK Kate Nash + Peggy Sue & The Pirates The media have gone slightly mental over this one, part of the new wave of storytelling female songsmiths who have injected a much-needed shot of humour, and general nuttiness into the often grim and male world of indie music. Like a more lo-fi Lily Allen and a less sophisticated Regina Spektor, Nash’s cultivated childlike image is sometimes met by a menacing minimal electro-dance dirge, but more often allied to a simple folksy acoustic backdrop. Interesting, and of-themoment stuff. Meanwhile, Peggy Sue & The Pirates are a disarming female duo with copious outpourings of caustic wit married to punk jazz vocals. In both cases they probably have limited record sales appeal due to the storytelling nature of the music, but live they all have engaging personalities making this a much-anticipated night out. Sat 24 Mar, Red Roaster, Brighton, 01273 686668
The Rumble Strips Pet Shop Boys First UK tour for five years by the Boys who continue to enjoy massive popularity. Wed 30 May, Brighton Centre, 0870 900 9100
Latest 7’s Top 5 records The Black Dog Book of Dogma (album Soma) A key electronica/techno act of the early 90s, Black Dog released a number of now highly sought-after singles before they released two landmark albums on Warp. This collection brings together those almost impossible to find records, and it’s a reminder how inventive and evocative they were – with nods to the techno landscapes of Detroit and Dusseldorf, they subtly added elements of dub and reggae and polished it all off with some crisp and cool beats to make cinematic journeys that you could also tap your toes to.
1
Maximo Park Our Earthly Pleasures (album Warp) Produced by Gil Norton, their second album is a literate and musical journey via some warming jangly guitars, some urgent post-punk thrashing, and all capped off by engaging storytelling lyrics. Very cool.
2
Rose Kemp A Hand Full Of Hurricanes (album One Little Indian) Offbeat, and verging on the avant-garde, Kemp’s sometimes harsh stopstart post-punk noise is met by occasional folky vignettes and a lo-fi sensibility. Sounds like where Radiohead meets Polly Harvey.
3
Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid Tongues (album Domino) Explosive progressive and melodic collages of jazz, folk and soul textures from veteran Motown drummer Reid and Four Tet’s Hebden.
4
The Bird and The Bee The Bird and The Bee (album Blue Note) At times utterly infectious floaty summer pop with noirish electronics. At others like a 60s lounge record gone rancid. In other words, a mixed and intriguing bag.
5
Having been in many ‘ones to watch’ lists for 2007, The Rumble Strips will be watched closely to see if expectations are met. New single ‘Alarm Clock’ follows on from their brilliant releases of last year that showcased the amazingly sophisticated and unpredictable songsmithery of lead man Charlie Waller. This four-piece sound like a stripped-back early Dexys Midnight Runners, and live they carry the fiery rhythmic propulsion of the same band. Overall, an exhilarating band worthy of all the success that comes their way. Fri 23 Mar, Audio, Brighton, 01273 606906
Salsa Celtica Formed in 1995 Salsa Celtica have now established themselves as an important force in world music in the UK and beyond, winning new fans and reaching a new level of profile and critical acclaim. In 2005 they embarked on their first tour of Canada and Europe, and appeared in the movie Driving Lessons, starring Julie Walters and Rupert Grint. New album El Camino (The Road) was released last year after a three-year break, and features a collaboration with folk diva Eliza Carthy. Their sound is a truly infectious salsa configuration that manages to combine the Cuban charanga sound of flute and fiddles with a Highland blend. Fri 23 Mar, Komedia, Brighton, 01273 647100
Alex Wilson Pianist, arranger, composer and bandleader Alex Wilson is a leading light in the UK jazz and Latin scenes. The driving rhythms, vocal frontline and brass contingent of his 12-piece orchestra, make powerful Cuban influenced soulsalsa. There is also a pre-gig dance class to get you in the mood!

BRIGHTON SCENE
THE MONTH AHEAD
A weekly round-up of what’s happening in the local Brighton and Sussex music scene
The Fall
Dates
Back in 1980 Brighton punks The Piranhas made the top ten with their cover version of the South African kwela song ‘Tom Hark’, which featured new lyrics by frontman ‘Boring’ Bob Grover. The band unexpectedly re-entered the charts in 2005 with a remake of this song entitled ‘Tom Hark (We Want Falmer)’, recorded under the name of Seagulls Ska with fellow Brighton resident Attila the Stockbroker. This was to help raise money for a new stadium for Brighton & Hove Albion FC at Falmer. Grover is back in action with his new band Dates (Sat 24 March, Providence) who release their debut album First Party, Fire and Theft, an enjoyably witty collection of quirky tunes about the things that really matter in life: religion, shoplifting, reality TV, missed opportunities, mobile phones, unconditional love and dodgy neighbours. Two years in the making, 12 Stone Toddler (Thurs 22 March, Komedia) will be unleashing their debut album in May, but in the meantime they play one of their rare gigs, and it should be another of those jawdropping affairs where the beast that is the Toddler unleashes one of their incredibly bouncy and dynamic sets littered with funk rock dynamite, carnivalesque motifs, and a little bit of deranged metal. There’s plenty of dark humour in the band, which should 12 Stone Toddler be complemented very nicely by support act Turning Green who make manic, offbeat and acid-fried songs that demand your attention. Almost one year ago Pete Bennett of local band Daddy Fantastic (Fri 23 March, Lo Lounge) got the OK to enter the Big Brother household. Not only did he go and win it but he subsequently entered into a lucrative recording contract leaving the Daddies in the lurch. But like good soldiers they marched on, quickened the pace and have not looked back it seems. The aptly named ‘Things Have Been Weird Lately’ and current single ‘Goin’ Out Drinkin’’ sum up their crazy psychedelic blues rock ’n’ roll mash-up. Great live act to boot. Also on the bill are the awesome skafried, horn-blazing, mad-for-it Los Albertos who just keep on blowing audiences away with their live show, plus the superb female fronted punk upstarts Breach. On the release front there’s a superb new acoustic soul funk band doing the rounds – the seven-piece Silent Earth (Tues 20 March, Joogleberry) are fronted by practising Buddhist Una Creary, and include Ru Garvey among their ranks, a brilliant guitarist and dance producer in his own right. Their music is a very warm and enveloping sound that will see the light of day on their soon-to-be-released debut album FAQ.

Mark E Smith has been at it for over 30 years with his band The Fall, one of John Peel’s favourite bands ever. Characterised by his abrasive yet evocative lyrics and half-droned, half-ranted vocals, Smith is the one constant through a bewildering succession of personnel changes over the course of a career that has seen the band release umpteen albums that never stray far from the classic Fall sound. Chaotic garage rhythms are overlaid by Smith’s brutal yet intellectual lyricism that mixes elements of social realism, surrealism and absurdism. The man is obviously a nightmare to be with, but God, is he a survivor! Thurs 29 Mar, Old Market, 01273 736222 Sat 31 Mar, Pavilion Theatre, 01273 709709
Faithless Endearing and enduring British act which at its core features the former DJ and multiinstrumentalist Sister Bliss, production maestro Rollo and the jazzy hip hopper Maxi Jazz who elevates the generally euphoric, ambient music to a spiritual and socio-political level with many of his lyrics. Featuring guest vocalists throughout their career including Pauline Taylor and Rollo’s sister Dido, Faithless have continued to defy media trends by remaining as popular and as relevant today as ever before. Their recently released greatest hits album has outsold any other UK ‘dance’ act by quite some distance, though strictly speaking Faithless are much more a band, mixing up many styles of music that have seen them enjoy massive cross-over appeal.

Brighton Music Network Foxy Mamma Malone Lisa Holloway, BMN’s chief exec, talks to Julian Deane, ex-Toploader guitarist and director of Ray Gun Music Management After graduating from Sussex University, Julian Deane planned to do aid work but instead became a pop star! “It was a slog playing up and down the country. Then we did ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’ and it happened really quickly. We burnt out really quickly.” After Toploader, Deane moved to Brighton. He taught music business studies at Brighton Institute of Modern Music. “I understood the intricacies of the business. In the early days of Toploader I drove to get us management. Even then I harboured desires to be a manager.” He spotted psychedelic popster Paul Steel’s raw talent. Deane recalls: “I built his confidence as a writer and performer for 18 months. It’s important to develop a relationship without contractual obligations. I recommended other managers to him, then he asked if I would do it.” Last year Paul Steel supported Sean Lennon, Aqualung and Ed Harcourt. 13 Artists, the agent for Deane’s other band, the XCerts, were crucial in developing a fan base. Getting a Sean Lennon support put Steel in front of the right people at an international level. Steel signed to Polydor. “Lots of labels were showing interest. We did a fantastic lunchtime showcase at the Half Moon in Putney. It was pressure for the band – every move was scrutinised. They needed live experience to match the recordings, which everyone loved from day one. Labels want to see you can promote yourselves with a live band.” Steel’s influences include the Beach Boys, Super Furry Animals and Rufus Wainwright. He is producing his album at home and mixing it with Tony Hoffer in Los Angeles (producer of The Kooks, The Fratellis and Beck).
“Don’t invite industry people to see you live until you’re really great. They won’t come back” “I met the XCerts in Brighton,” says Deane. “It was easy to decide to manage them; they’re a phenomenal live band.” Often described as very Scottish, distorted pop, The XCerts, Deane says “sound only like themselves, which I’m interested in when discovering new music.” Their debut single, ‘Breathtaking Fight’ – which Steve Lamacq called ‘ludicrously punchy’ – was ‘Single of the Week’ on 6music. They had a Lamacq live session for Radio 1. “The best way to break the XCerts is to keep on the road. They don’t have a record deal, but there is a national radio plugger and TV plugger in place. This is a strong position. We’re recording our own stuff and licensing it, or maybe signing up with a major.” Deane’s advice for would-be managers: “You need drive. Be prepared for vans breaking down and calls at 1am. You must be clued up and have good contacts.” Advice for artists? “Few bands are ready for management. A common excuse is, ‘If we had a manager, it would be OK.’ Once you’re ready for record and publishing deals, you need a manager. Most managers need to know you’re already doing it for yourself. Don’t invite industry people to see you live until you’re really great. They won’t come back.” The Xcerts are supporting Paul Steel at The Pressure Point, Brighton on 31 March, £5/£4, 01273 684501.

Malone starts feeding the baby solids. It’s messy but it doesn’t give you a cough… Solids. That’s what they call the food you feed a baby after six months. That’s a lie. It is not solid. It is mush. It looks like sick in a jar. (Or, if you want you can spend ages cooking some sweet potatoes, to then watch them eat one ice-cube-size portion of it, then dribble the same amount all over their face, clothes, chair, walls and floor. If they get it on their hands, that’s it, game over. Then we are talking up the nose, in their eyebrows, ears and finally on you. If you are a new mum, black is so not the colour this season. Baby puke, milk, and ‘solids’ tend to show up pretty well on black. Pretty tough if you’re trying to sport the latest Emo look dressed in black, black and black. I got white baby rice all over my black skinny jeans; it was a panicky few minutes while I bobbed the baby on my knee scrubbing furiously with a damp cloth on the other knee. Now that’s multi-tasking.
“But hey! My parents couldn’t have wished for a better, more effective, chastity belt” When I was at school, solids were something you smoked. They were much more cost effective than the leaf variety, though they did give you a hacking cough and phlegm the morning after. But hey! My parents couldn’t have wished for a better, more effective, chastity belt. At parties, while my peers were all drinking cider and snogging people called Darren Phillips and Louise Bates and then puking up over people called Sally Jones (why do we remember people from our school life by their first and second names and then as we get older, struggle to remember people’s first names? Must be all the experimenting with um, ‘solids’…) Anyhoo, while others were losing their inhibitions, drunk and getting off with each other, I on the other hand, would be (yes, OK) locked in a bathroom with a boy, but totally unable to say anything other than, “Have you got anything to make a roach out of?” Then we’d smoke a joint, mutter a few words in a paranoid haze, the solids totally inhibiting any teenage sexuality we might have wanted to pursue, then we’d leave the bathroom, return to the chaos of the cider party completely unable to communicate with the opposite sex. My parents could sleep soundly. But how am I going to ensure my daughter doesn’t meet boys too early? (And too early is while in school!) OK, a kiss and a cuddle is part of development, but sex makes babies… If you’re young and can’t support one, you shouldn’t be doing the do. If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime… I would not advocate smoking cannabis as it took a decade to quit that habit, stealing my motivation for many years. But I do need to think of ways to prevent my teenage offspring from drinking at parties. Hmmm, perhaps I can encourage her to stay a messy eater – chewed food all over the clothes and hair is not a good look; that might work. Personally, it’s certainly working as a deterrent for me.

THIS WEEK AND THE MONTH AHEAD Undiluted @ The Beach Ah March… traditionally the time when students head home to get their washing done by mum, while unscrupulous landlords start to calculate the deposits they can steal off her kids. If you haven’t already been sent packing, you could do worse than this lively end-of-term drum and bass session featuring DJ Krust, Ed Solo and (for the mature studes among you) the Ragga Twins on MC duties. Don’t be shy, there’ll be another portion of student loan to prop you up next term. 23 March, £9/£8
Kavinsky @ Concorde 2 Anyone got any idea what they put in the French water supply during 2006? Once primarily known for disco-loopy house and increasingly poor Daft Punk records, last year the Frenchies caught the electro ball and ran with it, with Parisian label Kitsune especially scoring massive underground smashes. Tonight go Gallic with a mash up à Français with Nightmoves (best known for their juddering Klaxons remix) and Kavinsky playing the new platters that matter to hordes of happily munted types. Vive la différence. 23 March, £8/£6
Ajuca Box @ Volks Welcome to Planet Volks, where the dreaded of head frug away to psychedelic trance like electroclash never happened. Fair play to them too, since nights like this have supported a Brighton scene that’s remained strong whatever the vagaries of fashion. Tonight, make room for the mushrooms as Wild Things don their trance pants while Legions of Dub make the basement echo. 24 March, £7/5

Enough to give you a taste of the festival that’s likely to be in a field of its own this September. 7 April, £13

Period piece English Touring Theatre bring Terence Rattigan’s French Without Tears to Brighton An innocent world of frothy wit and hedonistic charm are key to this stylish and touching revival of a charming play by one of Britain’s most distinguished 20thcentury playwrights. The sun is hot and the sea inviting, as a group of young gentlemen attempt to learn French in a house on the western coast of France. Unfortunately, the mysteries of syntax and pronunciation are so much less interesting than the mysteries of sex, romance and seduction. French Without Tears uses delicious humour to poke fun at the English male when he is abroad and in love. The vibrant young company of actors in this production includes Jenna Harrison, who recently appeared in Night Of The Iguana in the West End, Adam James who featured in Rabbit at Trafalgar Studios and Terrence Hardiman, best known to television viewers as The Demon Headmaster. Terence Rattigan, who lived in Brighton, wrote French Without Tears at the age of 25. Its huge success established his reputation and subsequent plays included Man And Boy, The Browning Version, The Deep Blue Sea and The Winslow Boy. English Touring Theatre (ETT) are committed to creating outstanding theatre and touring it to the widest possible audience. In their first 12 years the company has won 18 major awards and worked with some of the most talented and respected artists in the country. Other recent ETT shows include The Old Country and Hamlet. ‘French Without Tears’ runs at Theatre Royal Brighton, 20–24 March, nightly at 7.45pm, Thursday and Saturday matinees at 2.30pm, £15–£24. There will be a captioned performance on 22 March at 7.45pm. Call 08700 606 650 or see www.theambassadors.com/theatreroyal
Guess who? An all-star cast, headed by Simon MacCorkindale, appear in The Unexpected Guest at Eastbourne’s Devonshire Park Theatre Following widespread critical acclaim for their star-studded production of The Hollow, this is the second production from The Agatha Christie Theatre Company. Lost in the fog on a lonely road, a stranger seeks refuge in a nearby house – only to find that he has stumbled on to the scene of a murder. When the dead man’s wife confesses to killing her much-despised husband, the stranger agrees to provide her with an alibi. But who is he really protecting? And, in a house full of suspects, whose are the unidentified fingerprints found at the scene? Credited as one of Agatha Christie’s most mischievous and chilling whodunnits, The Unexpected Guest is filled with all the suspense, intrigue and surprise twists that make Christie one of the world’s bestloved authors, and the undisputed first lady of crime.
The cast is led by international film star and TV veteran Simon MacCorkindale, whose first foray into the world of Agatha Christie was when he played the charming and cunning murderer in a major movie version of Death On The Nile. Simon, who is currently taking a sabbatical from his pivotal role as the consultant Harry Harper in Casualty, is also well known from several other major films including Riddle Of The Sands, and from the hit CBS TV series Falcon Crest. The cast also includes Frazer Hines and two of our most talented and versatile performers, Mark Wynter and Virginia Stride, plus EastEnders favourite Dean Gaffney. ‘The Unexpected Guest’ is at Devonshire Park, Eastbourne, 26–31 March, nightly at 7.45pm, Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 2.30pm, £13.50 –£19.50. Call 01323 412000 or see www.eastbournetheatres.co.uk

THIS WEEK’S PREVIEWS
Harriet Hoff lends a hand in a fashion workshop for girls in preparation for an upcoming show February half term was a busy week for the girls at St Marys Hall. The teens, aged 11 to 16 have been busy raising money for their chapel and arts centre by making some glamorous and outrageous outfits in a fashion workshop. The fashion workshop was run by mum to one of the girls and our very own fashion writer and stylist, Harriet Hoff. Harriet got the girls learning about construction by making outfits for each other out of bin liners which caused much amusement. The girls were then set a brief to create an outfit for themselves to model in a show on 23 March out of old unwanted clothes and bits and bobs found around the house. The results were presented to make up artist Janice Hansen and her keen eye for help with styling and make up and finishing the looks. The girls then modelled for a photoshoot with photographer Charlotte MacPherson. Preparation is now underway for the big show. Keep your eyes peeled for the amazing results... See the results of the workshop in the fashion show held after the appeal launch, Fri 23 March. Contact St Mary’s Hall for more details on 01273 647778 or visit www.stmaryshall.co.uk

Star Matched Speed Dating Spring fever is here – time to have fun and enjoy some romance. And for those who can’t find that special someone, there’s a unique event on Tuesday 20 March at Brighton’s Al Duomo’s to help love along the way. Star Matched Speed Dating leaves internet dating behind (as meeting someone in person can be a helluva lot different to chatting over email) and has come up with a new speed-dating method using the Instant Combatability System. Scientists and experts say we make up our minds about liking someone within seconds, meaning speed dating can be a way to find ‘The One’. Meet 20-30 different people in a relaxed and safe environment and let psychological astrologers Helen Sewell and John Green use their Instant Compatability System to see how well suited you are to fellow guests. A fun icebreaker to start the evening, John says: “It has proved to be very successful in providing guests with extra information, but more than anything, it’s a lot of fun and gets the evening off to a good start.” Come along to the Star Matched event, meet new people and maybe even find love. Star Matched Speed Dating Event will be held on Tuesday 20 March at Al Duomo restaurant, Brighton at 7pm, places are £16. Prior booking is essential to ensure an equal number of men and women. See www.starmatched.com to secure a place.

Simon Dack – The Level ‘87
Eye of the storm Handpicked from the 2006 Essence of Brighton and Hove Photography Competition, 14 photographers have responded to an open brief from North Laine Photography Gallery. There’s former Argus photographer Simon Dack’s amazing image of The Level Alan Williams – Pelican in Brighton following the 1987 storm, while 20 years later the Paper Circles photography group have used the same location to do the night shoot that sees them using milk to lambast the ‘glamorous’ portrayal of ‘youth binge culture’. Ben Glazebrook’s portraits of hoodies have a somewhat unidentifiable appeal while Katie Greenwood’s Tate Modern location shoot conjures up an instant classic image and a favourite with early visitors to the show. The list goes on with over 50 images on display. As is often the case, North Laine Photography Gallery have taken some chances, but once again have come up with an exhibition that should appeal to both photographic professionals and the public at large.

Under review Recent shows with a sprinkling of homegrown talent U Roy and Junior Murvin Junior ‘Police and Thieves’ Murvin and URoy on the same bill – we were blessed indeed. Murvin’s sweet falsetto could charm the birds from the trees. The way he held the stage, with occasional imperious glares to the sound desk, was regal. Then came U-Roy, a bejewelled Dr John minus the silver cane. In a red suit and a black fedora, ‘The Originator’ treated us to some all-time original favourites including ‘Natty Rebel’ and ‘Babylon Burning’. Cool rulers, the pair of them.

Easy Comedy A new monthly comedy show for only £3, with the money going to charity, and in the centre of town? Yup, and with local sensations like the sardonic Toby Whithouse, and with the surreal workings of Chris Pacey (pictured) and the hi-energy of Seann Walsh you just couldn’t go wrong. But that wasn’t all, this line-up also showed off the lonely but funny in love Jim Holland and the everyman appeal of George Cleary. All of this was lovingly strung together by our compere Lee Hume. This is set to be a monthly comedy night with new comics at each turn so it’s well worth keeping track of. Very funny. Easy Bar, 7 March ✌✌✌✌✌

The Killers Hot fuss would be an understatement to the reaction of The Killers hitting this fair town. With the crowd whipped into a rhythmic frenzy of sweaty bodies, front man Brandon Flowers worked his magic like a lion tamer; with help from the boys to produce one of the most memorable nights the Brighton Centre has ever seen. With a performance way above standard, I was blown away. The Killers are cooler than ever and welcome back any time! Brighton Centre, 3 March ✌✌✌✌
Jon Stringer
Shappi Khorsandi and new acts Compered by the wonderful Jo Enright, Matthew Ross opened the show in his affably engaging style. Roisin Le Bourhis (pictured) followed with an exceptionally funny set, and we enjoyed a sterling turn from Steve Bustin. Toby Caldwell gave the night a surreal and physical twist and Evie Anderson dazzled with a subtitled aria about anal sex. Holly Walsh gave a great performance of her sardonic commentary. Headlining was the award-winning Shappi Khorsandi, who never fails to impress, and she brought the night to a close with the crowd laughing happily. Comic Boom, Komedia, 28 February ✌✌✌✌
Chris Pacey
The Happiness They do exactly what it sounds like they’d do: they play happy music for happy people. The Happiness are a breath of fresh air in a sometimes dour scene. Their amphetamine-fuelled sounds are born from the ashes off the post-punk scene, married to a disco-indie beat, with sprinklings of witty street poetry. They keep you on your toes this lot, with four of the band trading vocals, and have a totally infectious upbeat vibe on stage. Audio, 10 March ✌✌✌✌

jobs Furniture now! Charity Furniture Now! is proud of its ‘one thousand hours a year’ volunteer While many people consider giving their free time to a good cause, far less actually get around to doing it. Even fewer give as much as Furniture Now! volunteer Nick Mitchell who last year gave an unbelievable 1006 hours. He has worked these hours in the Eastbourne Furniture Now! (based at 3a Courtlands Road), where he is part of a team providing low cost used furniture to people on low incomes. The charity relies on volunteers in order to keep running and all the hours they put in – nearly 7000 in total – are valued, especially by the people using the service. The charity, first started in Lewes in 1994 and opened in Eastbourne in 2005, provides furniture and some electrical goods, preventing more than a hundred tons of landfill in the Eastbourne area every year. It also provides useful training for those volunteers seeking to get back into employment, but for many volunteers, like Nick, it is an opportunity to just do something good for their community. 56-year-old Nick was a psychiatric nurse for many years and so has already served his community unstintingly. What makes Nick’s
achievement truly astonishing is that he suffers from a debilitating depression which prevents him from working. He could choose to sit at home and feel sorry for himself, but instead he chooses to help others in the most practical way he can. Proving that volunteering benefits both the giver and receiver, Nick says: “Working here does obviously get me out of the house, it also gives me a sense of purpose and it is a good feeling knowing you are helping others who really appreciate it.” Rik Child, director of Furniture Now! says: “All our volunteers are very important to us as we could not exist without them, but Nick has given a tremendous amount of time to us – the most anyone has given since the charity started 13 years ago. He is a star.” Says Eastbourne manager, Vicky Rawlinson: “At Furniture Now! we are always looking for donations of good quality used furniture and as the only Eastbourne charity collecting furniture, our service is stretched to the limit.” Funding is always difficult for groups such as ours. Our overheads for our showroom and free collection and delivery service are very high and we only earn about half of what we need to run. The rest we have to find funding for.“ Vicky continues: “Volunteers are absolutely essential to our survival, as we could not afford to replace them with paid staff. Nick's dedication and commitment is humbling. He may well be the volunteer who gave the most hours to any charity in Eastbourne last year, which makes him one of those quiet unsung heroes that ensure charities like ours continue.” Furniture Now! Eastbourne, 3a Courtlands Road, Eastbourne, BN22 8TR (Donations) 01323 638000 www.furniturenow.org.uk

Ian Wilson of local solicitors Dean Wilson Laing gives invaluable advice to the city’s thousands of small companies and employees This week: How stage two of new ICE regulations affect employers
QUESTION: I am the Managing Director of a company employing just over 100 staff – I understand there are some new regulations coming into force shortly which will affect me. ANSWER: Yes, the second stage of the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004 (ICE), which will extend the duty on employers to make available a formal information and consultation procedure to all businesses employing at least 100 employees, will come into force on 6th April 2007. QUESTION: What is the purpose of the regulations? ANSWER: The purpose of the regulations is to enable employees to submit a request to enter negotiations to establish a way of consulting either directly with the employees or their representatives about matters which may affect
employees in the company. A valid employee request must be made by at least 10 per cent of the employees (subject to a minimum of 15) unless there is a “preexisting agreement” as may be the case in unionised workplaces, providing for the employer to inform and consult with the employees or their representatives, either elected by the employees or Trade Union if appropriate. QUESTION: How will it affect the running of the company and what will I be required to do? ANSWER: If you receive a valid employee request for a consultation body to be established, it has to be endorsed by at least 40 per cent of your employees and if less than 40 per cent of employees made the original request, you can request a ballot.
QUESTION: What happens if we are unable to agree a negotiated agreement? ANSWER: You will have to hold a ballot to enable your employees to elect their representatives and then provide the representatives with information on: The company’s past and current trading situation and probable development of activities; The probable development of employment within the company in particular where there is a risk of redundancies; And decisions likely to lead to major changes in the organisation of the company or in contractual relations. QUESTION: What are the penalties for non-compliance? ANSWER: If you do not comply with the terms of a negotiated agreement or the standard information and consultation provisions under ICE, a complaint can be presented to the Central

She says it how she sees it
Shark Five, 22 March This is a new law programme from over the pond, and I have to admit the prospect of another American Law and Order-style show taking over our TVs was not something I was excited about. We have Ally McBeal (which, I should just own up now, I love), then there’s that other one with William Shatner, which is looking more and more like Ally each week. I’m sure there are other ones, but they are all so similar they have merged into one and I can’t remember any of their names. But once I starting watching Shark, I felt that this one might just be a little different, as it just so happens to star James Woods who, we all know, is excellent at playing sarcastic cops/lawyers. James plays a lawyer nicknamed ‘The Shark’, mainly because of his bad-ass law skills and the fact that he hardly ever loses a case. And that’s how it starts: The Shark wins a case, and a wife-beater who managed to ‘accidentally’ kill his wife walks free with his adoring girlfriend hanging off his arm. A little later The Shark gets a call and is told the wife-beater he helped free has killed his girlfriend. So after feeling pretty crap and haunted by the girl’s death, The Shark takes some time off, until asked to help in a murder trial. A man was murdered by his girlfriend; the girlfriend says that it was self-defence and that her boyfriend tried to rape her. Everyone who knew the boyfriend think that is totally out the question as he wouldn’t, apparently, hurt a fly. While this is happening The Shark’s ex-wife tells him she is remarrying and moving to New York, taking The Shark’s 16year-old daughter with her. What a jam-packed first episode this is! The good thing with this, which I can’t remember seeing in much else, is that the relationship between The Shark and his ex-wife is a good one. They are friends which is nice, and it means this show doesn’t follow all the patterns that others do. His relationship with his daughter is more normal than all the other father-daughter relationships we see on our screens. There is also something else different about it, in a good way, but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. Maybe it’s because James Woods is in it; maybe it’s because he plays a lawyer who really wants to be one, so much so he built a courtroom in his basement; perhaps it’s because the cases are really gritty. Whatever it is, it works. Like I always say, if you like this sort of thing, this could be the show for you.
Films on TV This week’s must-see movies
TUESDAY 20
Election ★★★★★ (1999, ITV2, 10pm. Dir Alexander Payne) Sharp black comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick as an overachieving student and her underhand and initially idealistic teacher. An ongoing battle of chirpy vs progressive psycho, it’s fun to see our main man keep on losing it. Victoria Nangle Ray didn’t fancy his chances against Giant Haystacks: Sexy Beast, Weds, Film 4 11pm
Cellular ★★★★✩ (2004, Sky Movies 2, 12am. Dir David R Ellis) Gimmicky but tense thriller, very close in plot to 2004’s Phone Booth (the same writer was involved in both), in which Chris Evans (not that one) chases across LA following the voice of a woman on his mobile who claims to have been kidnapped. An implausable story that still manges to be gripping viewing. MC
SATURDAY 24 Chocolat ★★★★✩
WEDNESDAY 21 Sexy Beast ★★★★★ (2000, Film4, 11pm. Dir Jonathan Glazier ) Career con Ray Winstone has retired from his criminal ways to the sunny climes of Spain with lovely wife Amanda Redman in tow – but his criminal past hasn’t finished with him yet. Hold tight for an utterly nasty but completely compelling character study, featuring a brilliant cast, that’s not to be missed. VN
THURSDAY 22
(2000, BBC2, 9.25pm. Dir Lasse Hallström) Juliette Binoche is luminous as the sexy chocolatier who puts the va va voom back into a stuffy French town, angering the prudish mayor in the process. A superior chick flick – but be warned, Johnny Depp (as the Gypsy love interest) doesn’t turn up until halfway through. MC
The Witches of Eastwick
★★★✩✩ (1987, ITV1, 10.40pm. Dir George Miller) Jack Nicholson stars as the Devil himself, summoned by three lonely women in search of lurve, in this black comedy which was hot stuff in the 80s but looks slightly ragged round the edges now. Prepare yourself for the sight of Cher, pretty much in her pre-plastic-surgery days. MC
SUNDAY 25
The Business ★★★★✩
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back ★★★✩✩
(2005, Channel4, 10.30pm. Dir Nick Love) Danny Dyer returns as a young geezer taking a break from the ‘opportunities’ of Sahf London to deliver a dying man’s package to a gent on the Costa Del Sol, little knowing that this will be his accidental ‘in’ to the heady world of British gangsters and organsied crime. VN
(2001, BBC2, 11.15pm. Dir Kevin Smith) The gruesome stoner twosome head to Hollywood for a comedy that’s high on Tinseltown in-jokes and general grossout, but low on actual laffs. Still, it’s almost worth watching for the occasional star cameo, including Carrie Fisher as a nun. MC
FRIDAY 23
MONDAY 26
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind ★★★✩✩
Traffic ★★★★✩
(2002, BBC2, 11.40pm. Dir George Clooney) George Clooney’s often overlooked vanity project is a wilfully peculiar adaptation of popular American gameshow host Chuck Barris’s memoirs – in which he claims to have worked undercover for the CIA. Ambitious and surreal, it’s not what you’d expect from the ex-ER star. Matt Chittock
48 latest 7
20 – 26 Mar
(2000, Five, 11pm Dir Steven Soderbergh) A brave movie from a groundbreaking director, Traffic aims to reveal the truth about the drugs trade through the viewpoints of a Mexican cop, a conservative American politician and assorted dealers. Like its powdery white subject – once you start it’s impossible to give up. MC

tuesday 20 Focus ITV1, 7.30pm Property prices are going up and we’re feeling the pinch in the south east, so it’s no surprise the lengths some people go to to get on the property ladder, including buying a home with a stranger. It’s one thing to rent with a nutter, but to tie up your financial future with a potential doo-lally psycho? Dangerous ground.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Five, 9pm It’s an old tale come back to haunt the CSIs - one of legends and tough guys from the Vegas of yore. Guest starring Roger Daltry! Yes, the fella that sings the theme tune turns up doing the most bizarre accent to reap our revenge on the Yanks for Dick Van Dyke’s cockerney.
American Idol ITV2, 6.30pm Bless – there are only six girls and six boys left and now they’ve been banded together into one group. No more sexual segregation here. Plus, Diana Ross sings live in the studio and Cat Deeley and Ryan Seacrest support the kids as Simon and co knock them down. It’s a nice way to spend a Tuesday evening.

wednesday 21 Dragon’s Den BBC2, 8pm Ooh yay! Not only do we have new pitches to cock our heads sideways at the television at, but there are also catch-ups with previous contestants. Will it include recent hit Reggae Sauce, now to be found on the shelves of Sainsbury’s, the egg boiler that wouldn’t work or any of your other favourites? What a treat.
Grand Designs Channel 4, 9pm You know that point when you have an epiphany and utter the words: “I have a dream”? That’s what must’ve happened to Katrin and James when they decided to convert a disused solarium into a luxury penthouse flat. They didn’t think about the 60 elderly neghbours below them. Bet they weren’t in the dream.

Mobile ITV1, 9pm New drama. A soldier in Iraq is sent home after his wife and young child are killed in a hit and run incident. Soon after the news, he’s sent a text message which apparently reveals the identity of the driver. He starts to seek revenge, enlisting the help of his terrified grandfather- but as the plot thickens, who can he trust?

Today’s departed are just as likely to be sent on their way to the strains of Robbie Williams as they are to a classic hymn. So are we now improvising rituals to fit in with our secular society?
