More Christmas preparations this week – have you decided which charity ball you’re going to yet?

One of Brighton’s biggest will be The Snowman Spectacular in aid of Chestnut Tree House, Sussex’s hospice for children (p17). The ball is supported by the charity’s patron Raymond Briggs; look out for my interview with Raymond next week.

It’s Halloween this weekend but not everyone will be queuing up to see Saw V – especially not Alison (p9). If cheery movies are more your cup of tea, see the film section (p29) for an interview with the director and cast of High School Musical 3. I prefer to watch scary movies at home where I know I can turn them off if I want – to find out which horror films are on this week, see our sevenpage TV guide (p38).

On the stage, there are two Steven Berkoff shows at Brighton Dome in November; Graft: Tales of an Actor, a play about an actor with mixed fortunes, and Requiem for Ground Zero, Berkoff’s poem about 9/11, which he will read before being interviewed on-stage by Polly Toynbee. See Andrew Kay’s stage page (p27), or, to find out why Berkoff will never eat bread again, read the Cheeky Boys (p12).

If you’re starting to feel the pinch from the credit crunch (who isn’t?), John Davies has found some ways of enjoying a fresh book without having to pay – and no, that doesn’t mean stealing, there are far more interesting methods that that (p30). On the same page, take a look at what events are coming up over the next few weeks, including free entry to Brighton’s Sea Life Centre and discounted beauty treatments like a £5 San Tropez tan.

Talking of beauty products, you can win a luxury bag of winter goodies worth £70 by turning to our health and beauty section (p22).

Other competitions this week include the chance to win a DVD of Girls Aloud going ghost hunting (I predict lots of squealing) and superhero action and comedy DVDs (p8).

On the comedy and art page (p26), Victoria Nangle interviews Dan Antopolski and Jeff Hemmings previews an exhibition of controversial First World War photographs by Frank Hurley. In music, Jeff has interviewed prolific composer, musician, actor and producer Nitin Sawhney (p31) and you can find out about the best upcoming gigs in Brighton and Hove and hear news of Brighton Early Music Festival, which runs until 9 November.

Andrew Kay’s been eating at City College Brighton and Hove and found the food first class (p18) Meanwhile we have reviews of gigs and comedy shows (p25) and all the latest celebrity gossip with Jo Brooks (p11).

If you’re looking for a new job, turn to our jobs section (p6) or see Latest Gay for how to get a job with the Pride festival team (p36).

Digital age Wired Sussex celebrate the best in digital media 2008 with the launch of a new awards ceremony Wired Sussex, the business support agency for the digital media industries based in Brighton, is launching the Digital Media Awards: South (DiMA:S) at a brand new awards ceremony to be held on Thursday 27 November at Brighton’s All Saint’s Church.

The awards are a new venture celebrating excellence in the region’s digital sector, rewarding companies in 14 categories, such as Breakthrough Business, Collaboration, Outstanding Digital Design and Freelance with entries (now closed) having been invited from web agencies, games studios, animation and digital TV companies.

The awards will be judged by a high-profile panel including: Peter Cowley, managing director of Digital Media, Endemol UK; Mike Nutley, editor-in-chief, New Media Age; Matt Locke, commissioning editor for Education and New Media, Channel 4; Martin Trickey, multiplatform commissioning editor, BBC Vision; Kirk Woolford, senior lecturer in media, University of Sussex; Nick Underhill, senior policy executive for new media, PACT; Phil Jones, managing director, Wired Sussex; Mark Walker, project manager, SCIP; Chair Caraline Brown, founder of multiplatform PR consultancy, Midnight Communications.

Additional sector specialists will join the core panel to judge eight awards. More information can be found at www.thedigitalmediaawards.co.uk/judges.

Phil Jones, Managing Director, Wired Sussex, said: “To have such a high-status line up for the first ever DiMA:S is a real coup and is testament to the huge talent that we have in the south. Much of the focus of these awards is on collaboration and convergence, which are key to the future of digital, and which Brighton in particular is at the centre of – when pitching for business, for example, many agencies form partnerships with other agencies, thus overcoming size disadvantages. That, I think, makes Brighton the natural home for these awards. The region’s creative spark is a national asset and the DiMA:s will be rewarding the passion and inventive business skills of this very talented digital community.”

Chair of the judges, Caraline Brown, adds: “Having set up Midnight as the UK’s first online PR consultancy 13 years ago, it’s been great to experience the region’s digital and creative industry blooming and producing leading national and international businesses first hand. It’s great to raise the profile of our local talent even further by getting them in front of such a high-profile panel. I don’t doubt that the judges are going to be faced with some tough calls.”

The DiMA:S are organised by Wired Sussex and very ably supported by the hard work, resources and brains of the good teams at Midnight Communications and Sussex Community Internet Project.

DiMA:S takes place Thursday 27 November at Brighton’s All Saint’s Church. For more information call 01273 692888, visit www.thedigitalmediaawards.co.uk/event

The Hair Affair

With Tim Richardson Now we are five!

On Friday 10 October 2008, Brighton-based art gallery ‘art at five’ celebrated their fifth birthday and to mark the occasion they hosted a private viewing with drinks, canapes and a very special exhibition by their ‘Star Artists’. The exciting new Yvonne Coomber collection features a dazzling range of (exhibiting artist) styles from five highly acclaimed Jem Lawrence artists: Philippe Aird, Yvonne (age3) Coomber, Caia Matheson, Stiliana Alexieva and Paresh Nrshinga. All the artists attended the private view and as a unique gift to customers, all paintings bought on the night received a personal dedication from the artist. For more information about ‘artatfive’ visit www.artatfive.com

On Sunday 19 October 2008, at Digital Club Brighton, The Usual Suspects Salons – located on Church Road Hove – stunned us with a fun hair and fashion spectacle full to the brim with sights, sounds, tastes and the newest trends. The Hair Affair was also raising money for the MacMillan Cancer Support Charity with a total of £1100 raised on the night. Hot models and a selection of saucy socialites prowled the catwalk, there were divine canapes from Chilli Chick, with music from Mr Haywood and DJ Justin King taking the late shift.

The designer creations came from a bevy of fashion-house sponsors including Get Cutie, She Said and Curve Couture. Models for the event included Charita Jones, Julie-Anne Gilburt, Lindsay Fergusson, Leah Lewis and Nigerian model of the year 2008, Sandra Omo. Contributing make-up artist was Zena McCarthy.

Swanning around Alison Swann isn’t going to be squealing at a slasher this Halloween

Ripping yarn I’ve never liked horror films. When I say horror, I mean the type that comes under the title ‘slasher’ movie. I just don’t get it. Why go out of your way to watch the many ways someone’s head can be spliced in two by some either physically repellent creature that had it been an animal would’ve been eaten by its own mother (Texas Chain Saw Massacre) or some utterly charming thing who makes the effort to give you a good night out before ‘doing the deed’ (American Psycho)? Or watch the slash, bash and crash of some crazy drugged-up, pseudoreligious madwoman, who locks her daughter in a cupboard because she had the audacity to hit puberty (Carrie).

“I like the idea of Trinny and Susannah rocking up in Texas and saying: ‘Look, the apron, it just isn’t doing you any favours“‘ There’s definitely a looks issue with some people in the murdering business. Maybe if murderers worked on their looks then they

might be slightly more welcome members of society? People might be alright with the murdering if they didn’t have to look at quite such a scary face. I like the idea of Trinny and Susannah rocking up in Texas and saying: “Look, the apron, it just isn’t doing you any favours and as for that chainsaw, it’s just a bit too bloody.” They would have a lot of work to do around this time of year. Imagine if they’d managed to get hold of Jason from Halloween and get him out of that hockey mask.

Hell, a whole generation of kids might have slept in their beds without fear of one becoming two by the morning, although they’d have a hell of a lot of work to do with that Freddie Krueger.

I realise I am somewhat ‘missing the point here’ and that the whole point is to be scared out of your be-Jesus little mind. Why? The first time it happened to me I was left alone in a darkened room by my so-called best friend to watch the end of Carrie – she had timed her visit to the toilet with deliberate perfection. My 13-year-old brain was just chilling out after the excess of horribleness and getting ready to go to bed. Now, if you are the one person on the planet who hasn’t seen the very end of this film, I won’t give it away (makes a change, me being discrete… blimey). But, I suggest you don’t do it aged thirteen, in the dark, in your pyjamas or you might end up wetting yourself as your friend lies on the floor in the hallway outside, hysterical with laughter, while listening to you scream.

I am incredibly stuck up about slasher-type horror films. My head sees them as the junk food of the cinema. If I have to watch a crap film I’d rather watch an action movie than get taken to see how many different colours someone’s entrails have been chopped up and dyed by Doo-la-la Dave, who conveniently has a job as a long distance lorry driver and is always in the right place at the right time – depending on your perspective. If you are the one squealing teen left alone at the side of the highway when he rolls past, then there’s a whole lot of wrong timing going on there.

So scary time of year again, scary everything, woooah. Hallow-bloodyween. Well you can keep your Friday the 13th and your Saw. I like my films with a dash of brains – still in Carrie the head.

Dani’s diary

Sandra Omo takes a look at the career of an exceptionally inspiring model

Dani is trying to come to grips with an impending feeling of doom…

Being a model means being courageous and outgoing. I am all that, but that is not all. It also means having the will to fight beyond the point where everything around you says ‘no, it’s over‘.

Now you may be wondering what I am talking about here? Well, no model is a success by chance. Even when you happen to be by chance, you still need the will power to maintain that success and use it to your advantage.

So, as I look at the lives of many models – whether successful or upcoming – and the obstacles some of us have conquered to get where we are today, I am proud I am a model.

There is one story, or shall I say one model’s life, that has reminded me lately that nothing, other than yourself, can stop your dream. That model is Thema Davis. Thema’s story is one I have been longing to tell, and as I finally begin, my heart rejoices because I know that when I am done, you too will be inspired.

Thema Davis started out as a model at a very tender age. Being a dancer, actor, gymnast, singer, as well as a model meant she enjoyed the entertainment business and all its benefits. By 2003, Thema had become a model and entertainer with a well-established career by making it to the finals of the Miss Afro Hair and Beauty Awards, and the Storm model agency and Cosmopolitan magazine supermodel search, which led her to move down to London. She also won the Miss East London beauty pageant that gained her a spot in the Miss Great Britain finals, where she won the Best in Swimsuit Award.

“She walked hand-in-hand with the famous in society. Being a model was sweet“ Now this was not all. Thema, also a dancer, received a full scholarship award to study at the prestigious Urdang Academy of Ballet and Performing Arts. Life could not be better for her as that same year she was accepted by the best dance and model agencies in London. This propelled her career to a level of glitz and glamour, as she toured with leading artists as a backing dancer, dined with famous designers like Versace and walked hand-in-hand with the famous in society. Being a model was sweet and she had every right to enjoy it.

However, in 2004, Thema’s life and career began to head south with a speed only lightning could overtake as she fell ill and doctors could hardly diagnose what was wrong with her. As usual, everyone, including medics, thought she was anorexic. Do models ever suffer from anything else? It was not until a trip to California that Thema was diagnosed with a rare disease called gastroparesis: a disorder that delays food digestion for days rather than hours. This debilitating chronic illness confined her to a hospital bed for two years. She suffered from chronic pain and vomiting, so that by the end of the first year she weighed only five stone at 5ft 11 tall! She could not eat a thing. At the peak of her illness, she was given up on, and given just six days to live. Boy, can it get more hopeless than this? She says: “These were the worst days of my life. I fell in and out of consciousness as I waited patiently to die.“ But she fought on as her family and dreams, which she had almost achieved prior to the diagnosis, gave her a reason to fight. If she could do it once, then she can do it again – all she needed was life.

April 2005 saw Thema begin her recovery journey of being fed back to life by TPN (total parenteral nutrition) through her jugular veins. It has not been an easy journey. Did she make it? If yes, when and how? What is her life and career like today? I present Thema to you next week.

10 latest 7

I don’t really know what to say today. I don’t feel like writing. I feel too tired. Although it’s not the kind of tiredness that can be cured by sleep.

I have a constant feeling of fear in my stomach and I would like five minutes without it. I am starting to worry that I am falling slowly backwards downhill again and I don’t know what to do to stop it.

Sometimes I worry I will be like this forever.

I feel like I have used all the cupboard space up in my head and I can’t fit anything else in. The fear is the part that is the hardest to cope with. Because it is more like dread than fear. There is a difference between the two. Fear is a feeling that can come as quickly as it goes whereas dread builds up slowly and brews in the pit of your stomach.

It’s the kind of thing someone who is terrified of flying will feel the second the flight is booked and the feeling stays with you getting stronger as the time goes by.

Only with me there is nothing waiting in the wings that I am afraid of. I can’t explain this dread. I feel that if I explained it and distributed out over all the people who read this every week we could each have a little (which would hardly be noticeable) and I could have a day off.

“It is suddenly a lot harder to look forward to your day, it’s suddenly a lot harder to talk” When you first open your eyes in the morning you feel calm and relaxed. Have a little stretch, maybe. But then you start to feel heavy and all of a sudden you feel trapped in your bed by a 10 tonne weight lying on top of you. It is suddenly a lot harder to look forward to your day, it’s suddenly a lot harder to talk.

That heavy feeling remains with me throughout each day and only disappears when I go to bed.

It’s not fun being me at the moment. All I want is some space in my head and I have no idea where I can get that from. I’m pleased I am a decent liar; chances are I would have terribly offended a few people by now. It’s hard smiling through gritted teeth. I want to spend all the time when I am not at work on my own.

It’s silly and it is not something many people understand, but it is a real feeling and it is now attacking me for a second time around.

Those of you who have had nervous breakdowns will understand that at points it is hard for you to ever see an end to the constant trapeze happening in your gut. It is not a feeling I would want anyone else to feel.

I need to work out what should be done to stop this feeling. But I can’t. I know partly what will solve it, but I can’t fix that. I don’t have the energy.

This is a depressing column isn’t it? I am sorry, but I really don’t have anything else to say – this feeling is bigger than anything else happening in my life. And I really do worry that it always will be.

Also happy that the removal vans have pulled up is fashion designer and another daughter, Stella, but she has urged her dad not to rush up the aisle too soon.

Baby boom West Sussex resident, actress Billie Piper gave birth to a baby boy last week. The 26-year-old Doctor Who star gave birth at the private Portland Hospital. Present at the birth was husband, actor Laurence Fox, who drove her to the hospital and I’m told celebrated with friends over a pint and was showing off pictures of his son on his mobile phone.

Billie’s ex-husband DJ Chris Evans is also expecting a baby with new wife Natasha Shishmanian, due in the New Year.

The three lads kicked off Kings of Leon with their new offering Perfect Symmetry and judging by front man Tom sporting a rather symmetrical new haircut – it seems to be rubbing off!

Football greats Hunky star of The Bill and Footballers Wives, actor Ben Richards, will be hosting The Snowman Spectacular (see this week's front cover) – Chestnut Tree House’s first fundraising ball this December.

The rendezvous was Duke Street shop, Football Bananas, who have donated some rather groovy prizes – including a signed Pelé football shirt and an original seat from Wembley Stadium signed by Sir Geoff Hurst (scorer from the 1966 World Cup).

The lots will be auctioned during The Snowman Spectacular to raise money for the vital work of Chestnut Tree House – the only children’s hospice in Sussex. Book your seats/tables now at www.chestnut-treehouse.org.uk at £75, it is worth it just to stare at the lovely Ben!

Brown or white?

“Mouldy old dough.” So sang early 70s mother/son, knees-up, gorblimey, novelty rockers, Lieutenant Pigeon.

Obviously, when baked, dough (mouldy or otherwise) becomes bread. But what colour would that bread be – (sigh) brown or white?

advertisements. I considered there was not an actor so well prepared for the role as I and necessarily assumed the part was mine for the taking. My shock and dismay when the role of the eight-year-old pit lad went to another actor can be imagined. I was furious, and – quite losing my senses – attempted to drown poor Ridley in the River Ouse.

Since that fateful day I have allowed not a single morsel of bread to pass my distinguished actor’s lips – and consequently must prepare all my sandwiches with Krackawheat. This does make for a somewhat dry and crispy repast, but – unlike other actors who shall remain nameless – I prefer to stick to my principles”.

It seems this bloke is sitting reading his newspaper when the wife sneaks up behind him and whacks him on the head with a frying pan. “What was that for?” he says. “That was for the piece of paper in your trouser pocket with the name Samantha written on it,” she replies. “Don’t be daft,” he explains, “two weeks ago when I went to the races, Samantha was the name of the horse I bet on.” She seems satisfied by this, and goes off to do work around the house. Three days later he’s again sitting in his chair reading when she nails him with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him out cold. When he comes around, he says, “What the hell was that for?” ”Your blooming horse phoned!”

You see! There was no horse – it was a woman he’d been havin’ if off with!

LIBRA (SEP 23–OCT 22)

CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19)

With Christmas officially started, now is the time to take care of your body as well as your spirit. Ariens should eat strawberries, tomatoes and nuts and go for vitamins A, B and C.

Calcium is key to Cancer, maybe it’s that brittle shell, anyway, seek it in dairy products. Try layering Kraft cheese slices with Dairylea spread to create a witty, party-stopping dish.

To Libra it’s all things in moderation although you can go mad with honey, but do remember that honey is almost impossible to remove from a velveteen headboard.

Capricorn loves meat, meat and more meat but you really must have your five a day if you are to avoid stomach disorders. Write yourself a mantra, ‘My colon is a temple’ perhaps?

TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21)

LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19)

Taurus has a tendency to bloating and water retention. Look for foods containing copper and sodium, raspberries, elder berries and spring onions or suck your loose change..

It would appear that Leo and legumes are almost synonymous. Passionate Leo needs lots of magnesium which appears to be in quite a lot of stuff, so chill out and eat what you like.

Scorpio should eat lean stewed beef and add some stinging nettles to the brew for that extra something. No surprise there then, another sting in the tail.It’s all about bile!

Chocolate, peanuts, honey, lemons and soya beans, almost a recipe for a good pud then, and why not? After all, good old Aquarius will be the life and soul if kept well fed.

VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20)

PISCES (FEB 20–MAR 20)

Nervous old Gemini needs to think celery and avoid coffee and tea.

Imagine how good all that celery is going to make you feel, and no caffeine to dull the aching jaw.

Iron and potassium will keep a Virgo happy. Fill your boots with liver, beets, marrows and pomegranates. No it doesn’t sound nice, treat yourself to a burger and suck a nail.

Sagittarius needs silicon and calcium chloride to recreate. Yeuk, I wish I hadn’t said that, what a thought. Mint , parsley and celery will help but I suggest we leave them be.

Iodine for Pisces is essential and comes in seafood in abundance. Ask Roy at Bardsleys for an Assiette de Fruits de Mer and he will bring you a huge one and show you his cod piece.

INTERVIEW

Still searching Nick Aldwinckle talks to Katie Melua about the Kooks, worldwide politics and why she’s searching for a new musical direction It’s been five years since Katie Melua first burst into the public consciousness with her breakthrough hit ‘The Closest Thing To Crazy’ and the multi-platinum selling album it featured on, Call Off The Search. Those five years have seen the Georgia born, Belfast/London bred singer-songwriter become Europe’s biggest selling female artist worldwide, with her first three albums selling more than ten million copies combined. She also gained her first UK number one single last year with her posthumous duet with Eva Cassidy, ‘What A Wonderful World,’ and after a year of touring, shows no sign of slowing down. Katie plays the Brighton Centre on 11 November to promote her forthcoming career retrospective, The Katie Melua Collection.

You’re in South Africa at the moment. The country’s president, Thabo Mbeki has just resigned due to a corruption scandal.

What’s the mood like there?

To be honest, the news being particularly relevant to people in that sphere of life, doesn’t affect me so much. As we’re touring, we don’t really get to be exposed to the effects of what’s been happening.

“It will be like we’ve all died and gone to heaven if Obama wins and if he doesn’t, I’ll think I’ll go and kill myself” You’re signed to legendary Steeleye Span/Elkie Brooks/The Wombles(!) songwriter Mike Batt’s label, Dramatico.

How is it working with him?

He’s been amazing. Our relationship has changed so much. Because we’ve been working so closely together for so long, we’re really comfortable with each other. I think that was part of the reason why between us we decided that after this album, we’re going to creatively go our separate ways. Perhaps it’s become too comfortable and safe and I need to be challenged, aiming for something different. I haven’t really got a proper idea myself of where I want to head musically. I’m still working on this current record and touring it and I won’t even start properly thinking about the next album for another six months at least, as I’m touring for that long. I’ve got no idea of whom I might be working with.

You were in a relationship with Luke Pritchard from The Kooks. Are you still in touch?

We’re in touch on and off. I haven’t seen him for bloody ages actually. Occasionally, we bump into each other but not that often.

Being Georgian, with family out there, how has the recent Russian invasion affected you?

I’ve been really worried about my family, but they’re ok. My mum and my brother are back now but most of my family are still out there. The situation is that life is totally fine. It’s just politically a bit scary.

Imagine another country coming along and just claiming a third of Britain as their own. It’s a real visual catastrophe in your head. Thank god though – it could have been much worse but you have to be grateful for that.

What do you make of the American presidential election?

It would be so amazing if Obama got in, but I don’t want to get my hopes up because I’d be so devastated if he didn’t. I reckon McCain’s going to win. It will be like we’ve all died and gone to heaven if Obama wins and if he doesn’t, I think I’ll go and kill myself.

I’ll definitely be staying up and watching that election.

Do you like touring?

I love touring, but you try not to do it for more than two months or so at a time or else you go crazy. It’s good because when you do go home, you’re intimately attached to it. It takes a week or two to get back into the flow of things and get back into normal life.

Do you mind having an older fanbase?

Not really. It’s cool to have anyone listening to my music, really. It’s weird, actually. The UK is quite an old fanbase, but other countries, we have a lot younger fans, like teenagers, which is odd. It’s just nice to have the diversity. I wouldn’t try and deliberately appeal to a younger audience, as then you’re just trying to chase an audience and it’s not how it should be. I just play the music that I like. If the older people like my music, then that’s cool!

You’ve done some wacky things – raced around Silverstone, flown a plane, you hold the world record for the world’s deepest underwater concert in an oil rig – any other mad plans?

At the moment, no, although I did a gig recently at the bottom of a mine in Norway, which was pretty wicked! Not at the moment – we’re touring through ‘til next year so we have nothing else planned except for me to go off, live a little and chill out.

We will be talking about how we might turn our city into the UK’s first urban biosphere. This means thinking about how we can create a greener city by growing green spaces alongside education, housing, transportation and business developments.

For me, the big question is how might being a ‘biosphere city’ affect the day-to-day lives of people living in and visiting Brighton and Hove? How do we take grass roots ideas and nurture them into emerging policy proposals?

My vision is for sustainability to be entwined with the development of our city. This means we must work with all our partners to create green open spaces and corridors, grow local food, provide sustainable homes and transport, and encourage healthier lifestyles.

We all must look at our own environmental impact and how we can reduce our carbon footprint. As economic gloom and doom fills the newspapers, some commentators having been saying we can no longer afford to choose environmentally-friendly options.

However, these people forget that often the best way to cut carbon is also the best way to cut costs.

Police loss

latest 7

NEWS

Sussex Police have lost 120 officers at a cost of £47 million in the past two years as a result of shift pattern changes that have left officers “wiped out”.That’s the finding of new research by the Sussex branch of the Police Federation which blames lack of funding by the Government to pay for sufficient numbers of officers to police the local night-time economy.

It means existing officers having to work longer hours through the night, disrupting their family and social lives and leaving many physically and mentally exhausted. Some are returning to work after a three-day rest break still feeling “shattered”.

The problem is so serious that Chief Constable Martin Richards has given his backing to the Federation branch conducting a major review of shift patterns to try and find solutions. The branch has also joined a national Federation campaign to impress on the Government the need for extra funding when new burdens are placed on the police service by new legislation.

“The problem has come to a head with the introduction of late-night drinking” The problem has come to a head with the introduction of latenight drinking which has resulted in thousands more people flocking to entertainment centres like Brighton and Hove and not returning home until morning. Shift pattern changes brought in to police the late-night economy, together with no increase in the number of officers, has placed extra load and strain.

Brian Stockham, federation branch chairman, said 120 officers have left the force as a result and exit interviews have shown shift patterns were the major reason for their departure. He said: “The average length of service for those 120 officers was 9.2 years and to train someone to that level of experience costs £392,000. “That means it will cost £47 million to recruit and train officers to bridge that experience gap. The people of Sussex will be paying for that for a very long time.”

More than 70 per cent of those who have left Sussex have joined the Metropolitan Police where they can earn an extra £6,000 a year and enjoy free transport to and from the capital. Mr Stockham agreed more money in London had Brian been a factor, but the shift pattern was the main Stockham reason for their departure. He said: “The Metropolitan Police are aware of this and are saying to potential new recruits from Sussex: ‘name what shift you would like to work and where in London you want to work’.”

Mr Stockham said he was aware of financial restraints the Government now faced due to the credit crunch and he forecasts belt-tightening in all public services. He said he did not expect the Government to respond to the Sussex problem by spending more money.

Instead, the branch has launched a study of shift patterns to find a more equitable and acceptable system. He said: “The force has acknowledged our concerns and the Chief Constable has given permission for us to take a fresh look at those patterns.”

Beaming bright Electricity prices are soaring but a couple who light up their home every Christmas are planning an even bigger display this year.

Michael and Tracey Page have raised more than £2,000 for charity through donations from visitors to their Santa’s grotto outside their home in Southwick Street, Southwick.

They usually have 5,000 lights on show – tripling their normal power bill – but this year there’ll be an extra 1,000.

Mrs Page, 41, said: “It’ll be the biggest show to date and although our electricity costs will be a lot higher we don’t mind – we want to raise as much money as possible for the children’s ward at Worthing Hospital.”

Latest Sport Round ups and rumblings from the Latest Sports Bunker

Who’s the daddy?

Latest Sport’s Joe Curtin welcomes the return of managers who can get results…

In recent years, after England fans have witnessed dire performance after dire performance, from the end of Ericsson’s reign to the debacle of McClaren’s tenure, the importance of the manager has been questioned. ‘How hard is it to get world-class players to perform to best of their abilities? Just pick the best 11 and a formation that suits them’.

This has been the mantra of many an England fan.

This season has shown that the importance of the manager cannot be overplayed. The players are the ones who do it on the pitch, of course. For example, Benítez has added to the areas in which his Liverpool were lacking. Now they’ve had the best start in years and are finally looking like contenders to the throne. This is to do with a good manager with good players and the beneficial nexus of the two.

The slightly bizarre antics of this early season have shown that good managers, when left alone from non-footballing matters, do the job they’re paid to do well or not. It’s hard to tell lately what is what. They, as real footballing people, do a real footballing job. A job that is harder than it looks to pundits, armchair and studio alike.

Cost cutting tips Alison’s been getting more messages about her column, this time ‘Back to Basics’, in which she wrote about how she’s getting more environmentally-friendly to cope with the credit crunch. Meanwhile, another reader commented online at www.thelatest.co.uk/7 about ‘Turn Back Time’, in which Alison wrote of her memories of coming down to Brighton as a child with her grandad, who looked like Pinkie from Brighton Rock.

Going back to basics, I was just wondering were you can get those cheap train tickets to London from?!

Anna Holecz Alison replies: You just go to www.thetrainline.com and get searching.

You usually need at least 48 hours to book the tickets, but there are some real bargains to be had booking that way.

Remember to look for the two singles option and if you are traveling across London to get to another destination in the country you can save loads by booking a ticket from Brighton to London then London to where you are going. Means you end up with a purse/wallet full of tickets, but it’s worth the hassle for the money you will save. Also check out the new star of Channel Five’s It Pays to Watch Martin Lewis, who also has a great website www.moneysavingexpert.com Sign up for email alerts and get some amazing deals like the £1 a night offers at top London hotels.

Turn Back Time – so true, I remember coming down to Brighton when I was a kid. Really happy memories of going on the old arcades by the pier, then having fish and chips before driving home. I’m sure there must be loads of people who decided to come here as adults because they had such a good time as kids.

“Arsenal continue to play gorgeous football with a team that wouldn’t be served beer on a US tour“ At the top of the table, Luiz Felipe Scolari has transformed the unremitting steamroller that was Chelsea into pretty-pretty boys. Arsenal continue to play gorgeous football with a team that wouldn’t be served beer on a US tour. And as for Hull City… What Phil Brown has done already, in the modern game, is nothing short of incredible. He wants to be England manager one day; he’s a young boss and who’s to say. He’s going the right way about it.

Alex Ferguson has, after a bad start, again faced criticism that he’s lost it; that he’s too old. That Carlos Queiroz was central to United and now he’s gone to manage Portugal, Ferguson will struggle. Man United are now on fire and once again we realise you never write Fergie off. History has told us repeatedly that you don’t. It’s going to be a fascinating season.

Fabio Capello, with the same pool of players, has enabled a team (I use that word deliberately) not too different from that of his predecessors. Since the relatively successful Ericsson’s ‘Munich Ball’ was found out and we struggled, and then had the FA’s ‘impartial choice’ Steve ‘Umbrella Boy’ McClaren in charge, Capello has restored pride to England and he may give some realisation to this ‘Golden Era’.

At the bottom end of the Premiership things are a bit odd. Two of the biggest clubs in the country are in dire trouble. Tottenham have had their worst start since the Titanic went down. (Ominously, Spurs lost to Stoke: Edward Smith, who captained the Titanic as it went down, was born in Stoke.) Now they’ve had their worst start in their 100-year league history.

Although it is good to see Levy stand by Ramos, he is more than culpable in this situation. Spurs made such a fiasco of their pre-season sales – especially of Berbatov. They procrastinated before finally capitulating to Man United for a lesser market price. And letting go of Keane and Defoe without any cover is the reason for their predicament.

Tottenham Hotspur FC had been steadily building for years and looked like they were going somewhere but they have fallen at the next hurdle.

Levy is more to blame than anyone.

• So Lewis Hamilton reckons he has God on his side. After the way his opponents have spoken of him and the FIA has treated him let’s hope so. His swashbuckling racing has made F1 thrilling to watch again. Let’s hope that with one race to go in Brazil, that regardless of the Big Man, he drives with the maturity only he can control and wins the title he deserves.

COVERSTORY

Walking in the air Celebrate Christmas in spectacular ‘Snowman‘ style and raise money for Chestnut Tree House Chestnut Tree House – the only children’s hospice in Sussex – this year celebrates its fifth birthday. To mark the occasion the hospice will host its first ever fundraising ball in Brighton, 'The Snowman Spectacular' in association with friend and supporter, Raymond Briggs.

‘The Snowman Spectacular’ will be held on Friday 5 December at the Hilton Brighton Metropole and will be hosted by Ben Richards, star of The Bill. Guests will be surrounded by a stunning Christmas tree forest and enjoy a sumptuous three-course meal in a beautiful winter wonderland, before being offered the opportunity to bid for some amazing lots in the charity auction. Dazzling entertainment will include a fantastic five-star cabaret show featuring artists from the sell-out Variety Nightly show at the prestigious Roundhouse in Camden, which will include stunning aerial trapeze and circus artists. This rollercoaster night of non-stop fun and breathtaking variety entertainment will be topped off by a performance from one of the country's leading swing bands, Fat 45 – a blistering eleven-piece, jump jive band.

“The Snowman Spectacular‘ will be a great way to entertain clients, reward staff or get friends together to celebrate Christmas in style” Definitely a night you won’t forget. ‘The Snowman Spectacular‘ will be a great way to entertain clients, reward staff or simply to get a few friends together to celebrate Christmas in style – as well as helping raise vital funds for Chestnut Tree House, the children’s hospice for Sussex.

To pay for one family’s entire care needs can cost £9,212. This provides direct care for a life-limited child, but it also covers so much more. It gives parents a break from the exhausting task of caring for a sick child 24 hours a day and gives brothers and sisters the opportunity to have a little quality time of their own with their parents.

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD&DRINK

Cookery class Andrew Kay finds quality food from the classroom at The Gallery Restaurant at Brighton’s City College The food in the canteen at Chelsea School of Art was basic, but robust. Shepherd’s pies, chips, toast, that sort of stuff. But never exotic, in four years I don't remember even one curry. Down the road from Chateau l'Atest, things could not be more different. City College Brighton and Hove – what we all once knew as the Tech – is now branded and has a first-rate catering and hotel department. I have had some excellent food both there and cooked by the students there.

It was a week after the 2008 Brighton and Hove Food and Drink Festival and I was meeting up with Chair Roger Marlowe for a spot of lunch and a chat and the dining room at City College seemed like a good idea. Roger is as passionate about food as I am and a great champion of Brighton – in almost every sense. We were meeting the head of the department, Leroy Clarke, for food and a chat about the state of the culinary arts.

“Expertly balanced flavours, the merest hint of smoky tea, so the salmon had a voice of its own” I made my way in, past the hoards of gumchewing smokers and one irate mother whose threat to a boy intent on bedding her daughter is not printable here. Inside things were calmer and very soon we were in The Gallery Restaurant.

The restaurant is a training ground, run on strictly professional lines, with paying customers.

It's a quiet monochrome space with a proper bar and smart waiters-intraining at every turn. I remember well my first day as a waiter and trying to master the art of silver service, it’s not easy.

These kids – and they are on the whole youngsters – made my early efforts look pretty pitiful.

The menu is set at £9.50 for three courses and £7.50 for two, a bargain by any measure.

It’s only when the food arrives that you see just how much of a bargain this is.

It was a warm day, so I was very drawn to a prawn and white crabmeat salad with mango and chilli salsa.

But I felt it was not that great a test of the kitchen, so I went for cocka-leekie soup, which I love. It was brilliant, deeply flavoured, crystal clear and packed with meat and sweetening prunes. Roger agreed, Leroy made light work of the salad, which looked delicious.

For my main course I chose a fillet of salmon, lightly smoked with jasmine and green tea, and served on a bed of wilted little gem. Again delicious, with expertly balanced flavours – the merest hint of smoky tea – so the salmon still had a voice of its own. Roger chose stuffed shoulder of lamb and raved about it: ‘‘It’s as good as any restaurant I have eaten in,’’ he declared and I didn’t doubt his sincerity.

18 latest 7

Leroy chose a paupiette of plaice with a leek confit and sauce dugléré.

Refined cooking is required for such a dish, but once again the students pulled it off. The vegetable side dishes were on the whole excellent. I loved a puree of carrots wrapped in leeks and some excellent green beans. Sadly the mashed potato didn’t match up, the flavour of garlic was too raw and the texture had gone sticky, the glutens having broken down too far. A small criticism, really, as everything else was near perfect.

Leroy finished with a very sensible fruit salad, Roger availed himself of the cheeseboard, which was too generous if anything. I chose an almond and raspberry tart, which was very nice indeed.

Over coffee we chatted about the course at City College and the excellent standards that they achieve. I have personally eaten the students’ food on many occasions and have never been disappointed.

There should be a queue around the block of the Pelham Tower every lunchtime and a waiting list for their special evening events.

Over the years they have produced an amazing number of chefs, maitre d’s and sommeliers. Ben McKellar, famed chef of the Gingerman brand, trained here and has gone on to achieve great things, not only as a chef, but also as a businessman. The college’s hotel and hospitality training is well respected too.

Modern man Zara Baker delves into the world of male grooming and finds a change in attitude and treatments iStockphoto.com

It may be down to the rise of the celebrity – think George Clooney, David Beckham and Matthew Fox – modern man has come a long way from his neanderthal roots. If these celebrity aspirations are anything to go by, it’s no surprise men are spending more time and money on their skin care.

Likewise, therapies and treatment rooms are aimed at both men and women, with some offering treatments solely for the male. Shelves in chemists and department stores offer fragrances and lotions in attractive packaging with the words ‘pour homme’ being the only way to separate it from its female counterpart.

While some may reel at the thought of daily moisturising, a fortnightly massage and manicures, others are discovering a secret women have known for years: It feels good to be pampered. It’s important to remember it’s not just taking care of your appearance though, it’s about feeling good and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Relax A massage is seen as an indulgence but it can also be beneficial to the health. A treatment can aid the healing of an injury, speeding up the recovery time. A sports massage or a deep tissue massage reduces a build-up of tension which is caused by scar tissue to get back the proper movement between muscles. A deep tissue massage also releases toxins and can effectively reduce stress and anxiety.

Reflexology is a popular treatment, using touch to reduce stress and identify blockages in the body. Afterwards, you feel revitalised, with a calm and more relaxed outlook on life.

A skin care regime is a way of protecting the skin against environmental toxins and premature ageing. A deep cleansing treatment, scrub and moisturiser (especially after shaving) will keep skin fresh and supple, without overdrying. Eye cream keeps the delicate skin around the eyes hydrated and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Discover your skin type and buy products to suit, whether dry, oily or combination. It is these steps, combined with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise that makes up the healthy, groomed lifestyle of today’s man.

Under review Here’s our round up of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk Moody Blues The legends that are the Moody Blues played to a packed audience at the Brighton Centre.

With over 40 years of performing their huge catalogue of music we were in the presence of classic rock gods. Some new tracks were nicely worked into their set, but it was the numbers like 'Nights in White Satin' that made the hairs stand out on the back of your neck. They rightfully deserve their place in rock history. An unforgettable performance.

Stephen Stills In footballing terms Stephen Stills played a blinding first half then was all over the park in the second. As a part of one of the most harmonious, intelligent bands to come out of Sixties America – CSNY – his opening acoustic set was magisterial. That his husky, almost-shot vocals could transport you seamlessly to times (Woodstock/Monterrey) long gone says much for a man of 68. And

when backed by his band for Suite Judy Blue Eyes he hit the upper register convincingly. It was the electric set which disappointed; the band just looked tired – third rate – and though Stills is ranked 28 in the Rolling Stone top 100 guitarists, the indulgent licks weren’t what we were here to see: For What It’s Worth.

HOT REVIEW OF THE WEEK Brighton Comedy Fringe Launch: With Robin Ince And Friends Greeted with a shot of Tuaca, the sense of anarchy and mischief was there from the start as Robin Ince ushered all of his guests on stage and led us in a toast to the Brighton Comedy Fringe’s launch.

Combining the character talents of Jo Neary – very funny in this intimate setting – with sketch show madness and hilarity from Pappy’s Fun Club fresh from their TV debut with Comedy Lab, and comedy accordianist Martin White – randomly funny – this certainly was variety. Add the matured and passionate rantings of a sleep-deprived veteran like Robin Ince and we had a show encompassing the uniqueness of the Fringe. Fab. Upstairs At Three And Ten, 16 October ✌✌✌✌✌

Best Of The Fest It was a large room filled with comedy fans, but for the most part we received average performances from very good acts. Well worth a Saturday night, the first section of Jon Richardson, David O'Doherty and compere Jason Byrnes seemed subdued – although well worth their salt. The second act of Ed Byrnes, a more energetic and engaging Jason Byrnes and the fantastic spoof hospital radio DJ Ivan Brackenbury livened up, with Brackenbury waking the audience up, and dividing it somewhat with his cutting edge set. A good night, but quieter than comedy should be despite quality material.

Brighton Dome, 17 October ✌✌✌

The Illustrators There’s been a noticeable trend in ‘progressive’ music recently, a genre once heavily derided for its unfathomable key changes, elongated tracks and muso musicianship. Out of the ashes of the early 70s prog rock explosion a few have retained cult status such as King Crimson and anything involving Robert Wyatt.

Fast forward to the noughties and fusion music with prog tendencies is back. Take Brighton's The Illustrators, for instance. Fusing epic Radioheadesque vibes with lashings of jazz-funk and mad song structures that make little sense, they literally take you on a journey, to where I don't know.

But I'm enjoying the ride, especially as this five-piece seem to be enjoying it too!

The Prince Albert, 15 October ✌✌✌✌ Jeff Hemmings

David O'Doherty The keyboarded one started with a truly unique introduction of himself from the wings, ramshackle and rambling – but in a good way – hitting on gags almost accidentally but at rapid regular intervals throughout, much like the rest of his show. Deeply likeable and with a fantastic take on the world, from Ryanair through to shark attacks from the toilet bowl, it was clear to see that there is no one else quite like him, hence his victory in the if.comedy competition this year. A delightful fellow on form.

A laughing matter

Looking out from the entrance of a captured Pill-Box on to the shell ravaged battlefield 1917/1918

Victoria Nangle chats to dapper dad and comedian Dan Antopolski about why he likes comedy and not acting Dan Antopolski is a lovely fellow. He’s in his office for the specific reason of having a conversation with me, taking a break from appearing in the odd bit of TV (Hyperdrive, Comedy Cuts) and touring his successful 2008 show ‘Penetrating Gaze’. He starts by thanking me for a favourable review I wrote of him a few months back. Quelle gent. But down to brass tacks, what’s the show like, I ask him?

“It’s just a sort of silly show, full of jokes. It’s full of complaining about my kids and, basically I wrote a show that I could do tired.” Eh? “If I’m shambling up on stage knackered because my kid has kept me up all night I’ll still be able to do the show. That was the design and concept of it.” One that many a parent can sympathise with in trying to adapt their work to fit in with parenthood. Plus, I comment, it’s a guarantee that it’ll be at its best, unhindered by any unplanned exhaustion. “Yes,” he chuckles. “Exactly”.

“‘you go to castings and some idiot patronises you and you go home and you don’t get the part’” Dan’s been performing stand-up for ten years and done the whole TV sitcom thing as well as making his mark on the live stand-up circuit. “I got a bit jaded a couple of years ago with the travelling basically, of driving hundreds of miles a week. So I wanted to do more acting and stuff. I went to loads of castings and it became clear to me that being an actor is passive. I mean, you go to castings and some idiot patronises you and you go home and you don’t get the part.

Being a stand-up is a very empowering example of one of the creative professions because you can always create your own work,” he explains. “And once you’re established as a performer you can always rustle up some gigs.” Not like acting at all.

Although, Dan does have a sitcom he’s writing in the pipeline. A programme for himself, written by himself, starring himself, commissioned by ITV2. Gets rid of the passive aspect of acting doesn’t it? “Yeah it does,” he agrees. “If you write a vehicle for yourself, well there you are!” Exactly.

But before that it’s time to get a taster with the benefit of ten years’ stagecraft. Bonza.

Frank Hurley Frank Hurley’s First World War pictures have a modern air that runs counter to the usual stock of images we hold of that time. While Hurley worked with bulky, single-shot cameras, he was able to capture not only the life of the trenches but also bunker scenes and combat pictures.

The war presented novel difficulties of representation: far from the massed mobile troops and brightly coloured uniforms of previous wars, this was a camouflaged war of position in which some of the most important elements – flying bullets and shells, gas – were hard to discern. Hurley’s frustration at risking his life to get pictures that did not fully represent the situation led him to the controversial practice of montaging to create composite scenes.

Hard graft Brighton Dome showcases both a poem and a play by one of Britain’s foremost dramatists It’s a Steven Berkoff double bill for the Dome this November, with George Dillon in a performance of Graft: Tales of an Actor and Berkoff reading his poetic homage to the events of 9/11 in Requiem for Ground Zero.

In Graft: Tales of an Actor, Brighton-based Dillon will be appearing as Harry, a well respected, but often out of work actor. This solo performance follows Harry's career from his first drama school audition, to his final performance at Leicester Square tube station and explores his feelings of rejection and dejection as he strives to fulfil his acting career between.

Graft exposes the trials and challenges of the acting profession, so often masked by glitz and glamour, examining Harry's highlights, as well as the more numerous low-lights.

Dillon has racked up an impressive résumé of theatre credits down the years, including The Gospel of Matthew and The Man Who Was Hamlet and is no stranger to Berkoff's work. Indeed, Dillon has worked with him on no less than five prior productions. Dillon’s previous performances of Graft have won him a ‘Herald Angel Award’ at Edinburgh in 2000, as well as a nomination for The Stage newspaper's Best Actor Award.

Berkoff himself, will be appearing on stage to read his epic poem about the events of that September Manhattan morning at the World Trade Center. Requiem for Ground Zero, written in 2001, attempts to capture the feelings and emotions of that day, while also trying to connect with the unknown victims of the attacks.

Berkoff's performance will be followed by an 'in-conversation' between him and Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee, with the possibility for audience members to ask questions at the end.

A challenging insight into one of the most influential events of modern time and an examination into the dark and often hidden side of the acting profession. Two thought provoking events not to be missed!

Requiem for Ground Zero, Thursday 20 November, 8pm, Dome Concert Hall, Tickets £12.50–£17.50 (Students £7.50). Graft: Tales of an Actor, Tuesday 25 & Wednesday 26 November, 7.30pm, Pavilion Theatre, Tickets £8 (Students £6) www.brightondome.org 01273 709709

Blade Runner: The Final Cut (15)

Dir: Ridley Scott The Duke of York’s goes all Sci-fi with this cyber punk classic from 1982.

Harrison Ford banishes all memory of his recent doddering turn as Indiana Jones as a blade runner who must hunt down four rogue replicants. The key is in the detail be it the crass neon commercialism, the superbly evocative set design or the still powerful score from Vangelis. With Rutger Hauer matching Ford at every turn this is a perfect mix of boastful but artful cynicism and sticky but icky thrills of the imagination.

Showing at Duke of York’s

Ghost Town (12A)

Dir: David Koepp Ricky Gervais finally goes and slips up on his own self-ingratiating arse in this dour comedy. Gervais plays a patient who undergoes surgery only to die for seven minutes. The lack of giggles comes when upon being

revived Gervais finds he can see and talk to the dead. Director Koepp may be responsible for the classic Death Becomes Her but he also wrote the baffling screenplay for Indiana Jones’ latest adventure. Despite his efforts this won’t win Gervais another Emmy.

Showing at Odeon and Cineworld

Saw V (18)

Director: David Hackl Finally with this, the fifth instalment, the cunning but by now mediocre freak-out that is Saw comes to a cinematic end. In this sickly polished horror, forensics expert Hoffman is the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw legacy. When his secret is threatened however he goes on the hunt to eliminate all loose ends.

Set to carry on in video game format this highly profitable but artistically decrepit franchise may be morally vacuous but it’s sure to satisfy some half-wit and his inane blood lust.

FILM

Talk of the school Helen Nianias attended a press conference with the cast of Disney hit High School Musical 3 The phenomenon that is the High School Musical franchise has taken the world by storm, which is hardly surprising considering the scale of their audience. Their ‘tween’ demographic spends $51 billion a year in the United States, with parents, friends and relatives spending an extra $170 billion on their behalf.

High School Musical is right at the forefront of this market for young people somewhere between childhood and adolescence, with an amazing 670 spin-off products. It is almost difficult to overstate how impressive the franchise is, with the first and second soundtracks each occupying the coveted position of bestselling album of the year. It was the first TV movie to reach number one on the Billboard top 200. The book based on the first screenplay debuted at number four on the New York Times children’s paperback bestselling list on pre-orders alone. Bearing these figures in mind, the expansion in the market for the third film is almost unimaginable. Having already taken £800,000 in UK pre-bookings at last count, this instalment of the High School Musical saga looks set to make a killing at the box office.

Disney certainly seem to know what they’re doing.

Director Kenny Ortega presided over the interview in the Dorchester Crystal Room with the cast to answer some questions.

Kenny, seeing your baby blossom like this from an idea for a little TV show to a phenomenon, where are you going to go from here?

Kenny: Certainly no-one could have expected we’d be enjoying the ride as we are, and the turnout in London is beyond anything I think any of us imagined or dreamed this project would bring us to. To feel the warmth, excitement and adoration from our audience is deeply fulfilling… I think we’ve seen High School Musical come to a conclusion with High School Musical 3 and that’s pretty certain.

When did you realise you had a phenomenon on your hands?

Zac Efron: I think the first time any of us slightly

realised what High School Musical had become was the first international press tour. We went all through Europe and we met so many fans, and all these kids who were very happy to tell us how High School Musical had influenced their lives, and how they were connecting with it, and that was something that none of us had expected.

Ashley Tisdale: It would have had to have been the concert in South America, we have performed for 75,000 people and that was really amazing being there with the fans and seeing how much they loved the music and they were singing in English and the effort they had to make to get to that performance, it was just heartwarming.

Corbin Bleu: It’s almost impossible to lump the entire experience about the musical into one moment. Even the last two weeks alone, touring Europe, there are so many once-in-a-lifetime experiences… Me and Kenny got to see a live Flamenco performance, several of us have had the opportunity to speak with Michael Jackson on the phone. I think when I’m on my death bed, and I’m thinking of the best time of my life, I think I can look back and say it was when I was part of HSM. I noticed in the music room in the film there was around £40,000 worth of musical equipment on the walls, which taps into the fantasy element of the film. What is the appeal of High School Musical, because lots of people wouldn’t be able to identify with any of that?

Kenny: I think it’s layered. I wouldn’t pretend to know the big answer, I like to think I’m privy to a bit of it. Looking at these kids and what they represent is very attractive… This generosity of spirit, kids hear it, they sense it they feel it.

I met a little girl in an orphanage in Africa, in Nairobi, and every child in there is HIV positive or is living with AIDS and she’s 15 years old, and her name is Joyce and I shall never forget her, and I shall work for her for the rest of my life.

She said to me, ‘Thank you for High School Musical, because you’ve given me back my hope, and you’ve given me back my courage.’

And if someone can find that in a movie like High School Musical, I’ll do four, I’ll do five, I’ll do six of them.

The High School Musical videogame is on release for Christmas. The film is on general release at cinemas now.

Also showing…

A quick look at what’s on this week Burn After Reading (15) Dir: Joel and Ethan Coen The Coen brothers stick to doing what they know best with this acclaimed caper about an incompetent pair of colleagues trying to blackmail an ex CIA agent.

In the era of free downloads, what happens to books? John Davies discovers new ways to encounter great stories Students in the seventies talked of ‘liberating’ books from major bookshops, as if books were caged animals awaiting vivisection. Of course, ‘liberating’ translates to shoplifting. Stolen volumes probably grace the shelves of many a graduate, now middle aged and still prompted to a feeling of guilty pleasure at their transgressive youth as they caress their favourite Penguin.

Now, I think I detect a movement towards an approach to the distribution and acquisition of books that could be truly liberating.

Occasionally you may have found a book lying on a park bench or on a bus with a small notice on the cover saying something like the bottle in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. ‘Pick me up. Read me. Leave me for someone else to read.’ These travellers create opportunities for wonderful interventions – serendipitous meetings with books we have never read, and might never read, but for this chance crossing of paths.

Some libraries have recycled their old stock in this way and publishers have seen it as a way of gaining increased exposure for a new title.

It seems to me like a real world version of the virtual free download.

But there are other ways in which books are being liberated too.

At Brighton Writers Centre on Grand Parade they have started a new type of library – a book swap library – where you can drop in with books you’ve finished with and exchange them for titles you would like to read.

They’re also happy to take any books you would like to donate if you’re having a clear out.

On my travels around Brighton, I’ve noticed the growing habit for people to leave a box of unwanted books on the doorstep – at least in fine weather. Passers-by are invited to take a book of their choice from the selection on offer.

I was delighted recently when, as I walked past just such a box, one title literally ‘jumped out’ at me. It’s Man of Straw – a novel originally published in German in 1918, right at the end of the First World War, with the title Der Untertan. It was written by Heinrich Mann, brother of the more famous Thomas Mann (Death in Venice, etc).

Man of Straw is a curiously apt find as the world plunges into an economic recession and extreme politics of any persuasion seem to be the vogue. Set in the 1890s, it follows the exploits of one Diederich Hessling, a sentimental chaos of a man who typifies an oafish personality trait of middle class males (even today – dare I see.) The book is a biting satire on the dangers of military brotherhood and commercial greed. What’s so remarkable about it, apart from its vibrant cast of characters, sharp writing and fluid narrative, is that it offers a vision of a society leaning towards military dictatorship that in the light of history seems quite astonishing.

A free book can definitely be liberating.

Going underground Composer, musician, actor and producer; the prolific Nitin Sawhney took time out to talk to Jeff Hemmings

Gwenan Gibbard, Welsh harp and voice

Early Music This year’s celebration of traditional music has a host of intriguing events taking place over the next few weeks, featuring a host of weird and wonderful instruments from the four corners of the British Isles.

This year’s programme examines the influence of folk has on early music, and how in effect they are the same thing. For instance Tangled Roots is a strand of the festival where British and Irish folk meet early music musicians from the London conservatories, with fiddlers, baroque violinists, traditional pipes, flutes and voices getting together, creating something unique yet timeless. Other highlights include Ordo Virtutum at St Nicholas Church, a chance to hear this very early work

by Germany’s composing nun Hildegard of Bingen; Whoops – There Go My Pantaloni! the true story of the English Madrigal performed by I Fagioli; Red Priest’s Priest On The Run, a tour of Baroque Europe; and The Thing in the World I Love the Most, a musical evening of music the diarist Samuel Pepys loved during his time.

For details of these and other events visit www.bremf.org.uk or pick up a programme Red Priest

It’s difficult to over state the impact Nitin Sawhney has had over the last 15 or so years. This musician, producer, actor and composer has combined Asian and other worldwide influences with elements of jazz and electronica, often presenting themes such as multiculturalism, politics and spirituality within his work. Sawhney is also active in the promotion of arts and cultural matters, and is a patron of numerous film festivals, venues, and educational institutions.

His new album London Underground is another work of extraordinary variety and vitality, featuring contributions from Paul McCartney, Imogen Heap, Tina Grace, Natty and Anoushka Shankar amongst others.

Is the album about London, as the title would suggest? “The 7/7 bombings acted as a reference point, and it looks at what impact fear and paranoia have had on the city, but it’s still a celebration of diversity. Natty (who sings the first track ‘Days of Fire’) was a personal witness to the bus exploding,” says Nitin. “I wanted to write something about London but I was worried about being too opinionated, and adding to the problems.“ How does he think London has changed since 7/7? “I think there has been a rise in Islamophobia, and there’s been a stifling of civil liberties and a change in the definition of civil liberties. I find it particularly disconcerting that Boris Johnson, who once called black people picaninnies, and was the British

National Party’s number two choice, is now in charge in London…”

How does he see his role in society as an artist? “As an artist you have a duty to be honest and say what you think.

But London Underground, is not maudlin or overintense; at the end of the day it’s a celebration of diversity through the collaborations.”

How does he decide who to collaborate with?

“I’m like a casting director. Some people thought that McCartney was a strange choice, but he’s got very strong feelings about the paparazzi which constantly invade his private life. You want to be free whoever you are, and whether you’re Joe Bloggs or a massive pop star, we all have a right to our privacy.”

As always, Nitin is a very busy man, with several projects on the go. “I’m doing about five scores at the moment including one for a film on climate change, one for a Japanese silent film, and one for a film about Brian Epstein (The Beatles manager).”

He’s now scored over 40 films, and the ‘orchestra’ has become his main instrument, with his breadth of influences and musical background informing his work more and more. “I started learning classical piano when I was five, and then flamenco guitar when I was seven or eight. I’ve played in lots of different bands – indian classical trios to punk bands, and I was in at least five bands at any one time during school,” says Nitin.

There seems to be no stopping this national treasure.

Jaime Pettit enters a world of polka dots as fellow clubbers do time in the stocks at Ocean Rooms’ Spunk night The Ocean Rooms has scrubbed up nicely gov'. A suave polka dot redress and splattering of the usual neons and lights made it look like a a ray-soaked beach town and the dreary summer was forgotten in a flash.

The smoking jungle was experiencing a premature ice age, the ends of the twigs had nothing but neon ping-pong balls for warmth but I'm sure it welcomed the hordes of smokers. Deep in the jungle lay the stocks.

Eden-like temptation to my rabble who were in and out of them like trains at rush hour.

The Strawberry Club had a few more seeds to its grimey night than Downtown, with a little pillar art that, as you headed forward, looked like a Hawaiian Ms Winehouse losing her top to the great reveal by the DJ booth! According to my shade-raving friends, the only way to dance is shades down and eyes closed, this method baffled me. Like a bat at night I staggered about to Tom King’s trax, musing them as my friend tried to blag a free face paint. Students! I can imagine many people awoke wondering why their duvet inherited a new stars and smudge pattern, everyone needs a good smattering of glitter in their lives.

We headed upstairs to the smart level of the club which looks like you should be hosed down on entry as a biohazard. We indulged in idle chatter on the sofas to any stranger who dared take down time next to us. The backdrop of Mr Haywood's sexy funky house fitted the attic vibe. After seven hours and barely a body less, the Ocean Rooms was brimming with sweat and love, not forgetting good music on delivery, however, Wonder Woman was barely enough colour to fill my retinas.

People of the public, let’s make a pact for the next splurge o’ Spunk.

Shell suits and tutus, Gran's curtains and coloured icing. Lets bring back the colour, mayhem and Miss Cumpie!

Alphabeat Glenn Tilbrook and The Fluffers Before Squeeze reformed last year Glenn was busy doing a very good Squeeze imitation with his rocking band. He also ‘squeezes’ in quite a few of his own post-Squeeze compositions, showcasing what a damn fine writer he has been all his adult life.

Tuesday 28 October, Komedia Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit Intelligent bohemian folk from this young man, with a voice not dissimilar to the Incredible String Band’s Mike Heron. Flynn and his band are more traditional than them but still make almost 100 per cent original music. File with Laura Marling and Noah & The Whale.

Wednesday 29 October, Komedia Sue Jorge Brazilian actor and musician who first came to notice with his performance in the film City of God. His appearance in The Life Aquatic... film, performing acoustic versions of Bowie songs in Portuguese, cemented his reputation. Musically, his real love is samba and he’s been making it since the late 90s, which is really what this gig is all about.

Friday 31 October, Brighton Dome

Neon Neon Collaboration between Boom Bip and Gruff Rhys, frontman for Super Furry Animals. Nominated for the Mercury Music Prize this year for their debut album Stainless Style, there is a worryingly obvious 80s American rock element within their strange fusion of pop, electronica, techno and whatever was at hand. Kinda works, but not as well as some are saying.

Thursday 30 October, Digital Alphabeat Fun fun fun with these Danish popsters. Either an irritating throwback to 80s soulless pop, or a fantastic revival of all that Pineapple gear and lurid tights depending on how old you are and/or whether cynicism has invaded your being like a mean-hearted virus.

Pretty good in a vacuous sort of way.

Monday 3 November, Concorde 2 Sly & Robbie Hugely influential dub and reggae artists and producers, who have provided the drum and bass backbone for everyone from Peter Tosh to Dylan and Santana to The Stones, and may well be the most prolific recording artists ever!

Monday 3 November, Komedia Jeff Hemmings

The View Great little Scots indie punk band who flashed onto the scene last year with Hats Off To Buskers, full of literate urban vignettes and stories. In danger of being left behind with the current crop of indie upstarts, a lot will be riding on their imminently due second album.

Friday 31 October, Old Market

Zen Hussies + Los Albertos Halloween double bill featuring the Bristol based booglaoo jazz ska stomp of Zen Hussies, and Brighton’s own crazy party animals.

MUSIC REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases One of the all-time greats The Clash thankfully never reformed – their legacy remains forever intact now that Joe Strummer has shuffled off this mortal coil. And it’s been captured superbly in Live At Shea Stadium, a recording of their infamous American soirees, the pinnacle of their fame there, and only a few months before Mick Jones left the group, precipitating a slow demise. An outstanding document, featuring a still raw and undiluted band, at the height of their powers.

In danger of becoming another Van Morrison (super control freak, overwhelmingly grumpy, too many albums, endless tours, musically indifferent at times) Paul Weller’s prolificness is exemplified by Weller At The BBC, a vast collection of his recordings at this institution. Featuring versions of many of his hits plus a few rarities and live favourites, this collection amply demonstrates the breadth and depth of his ability.

Brighton ska dub outfit King Porter Stomp (named after a Jelly Roll Morton song, fact fans) release their debut album Poison The Beat, an accomplished and lively big band sound featuring the rapping Mr Jones, horns, and a funky rhythm section within their extended jams. Full of deeply conscious social and political comment, KPM are part of the excellent Comm:Unity organisation, and a fantastic live proposition.

Canadian band The Dudes finally get their UK debut released after a delay of nearly two years. Full of quietly effective Replacements/Weezer type songs, Brain Heart Guitar is full of melodic, honest songs. A delight from beginning to end, but almost certain to have next to no impact over here.

Blimey. Isn’t it mad to think Katie Melua’s been in the charts since 2003? Time flies and all that. Anyway, it’s Christmas soon, so it’s time for The Katie Melua Collection. You either love or hate her brand of laid back, jazzy lounge music, so a review won’t convince you one way or the other. For the fans, this includes all the hits, including the recent creepy collaboration with the longdead Eva Cassidy, and there’s a nice 90 minute live DVD. For the detractors, you could always give the sublime Okkervil River a listen. Debut album The Stage Names was a great burst of lively Americana-laced pop-rock, and new release The Stand Ins is no different. Blending insanely catchy Bright Eyes guitar strums with casually scathing, literate lyrics and big band singalongs, The Stand Ins confirms these Texans as a force to be reckoned with.

Finally, Okkervil’s Jagjaguar labelmates Parts and Labor, and their fourth album, Receivers blends Husker Du pop sensibilities with Wire’s angular artiness and even a dollop of early REM energy. These Brooklyn rockers offer yet more proof that Jagjaguar seemingly can’t release an album anything less than amazing.

Will Harris finds the perfect man. The problem is he’s split between two people

Tessa Watson (left) trying ‘Pride ice cream’ with Pride director Lesley Burn in August

Pride at work Fancy working for the UK's biggest free Pride festival? The organisers of Brighton and Hove Pride are looking for an office manager to join their staff.

Current post holder Tessa Watson, who has been with Pride for twoand-a-half years, is moving on to work for Culture24, a group of websites that promote museums, galleries and heritage sites. Her replacement is sought to work 30 hours a week with occasional evening and weekend duties for a salary of £15,500 (£19,117 pro rata). He or she will support Pride's community activities and maintain the website.

The charity is also looking for a book-keeper/finance officer to work on a contractual basis for around 18 to 24 days a year. As part of the Pride team, both roles must ensure the diversity of the LGBT community underpins all activities.

To apply, send a CV with a covering email stating which role you are applying for to lesley@brightonpride.org by Friday 31 October. Interviews will be held on Friday 7 November.

Pride is also seeking new trustees. For an application pack, call the Pride office on 01273 775939 or email office@brightonpride.org. Closing date is 14 November and interviews will take place between 1 and 12 December.

More details of all positions at www.brightonpride.org

Pride giveaway Latest has a DVD of this year's Pride parade and celebration in Preston Park to give away. The film is not officially made by Pride, but raises money for the charity behind the festival, Pride (South East) Ltd. It follows the story of the 2008 parade from setting up to after parties. There are interviews with members of the public and an indepth interview with James Ledward, editor of GScene.

The movie was made by Hove-based Danny Boy Productions.

Danny's first film of Pride last year caused controversy after he was wrongly accused of making it in a bootleg attempt to make money from Pride. In fact, money from each sale of the DVD was donated to Pride (South East) Ltd. This year £1 from each DVD will go the the charity. Danny spent £2,000 on production and is not expecting to make all the money back, but hopes the production will help him establish himself as a film-maker.

The DVD is on sale from www.dannyboyproductions.tv or at Clone Zone and Cardome in St James's Street with a special offer price of £5.99.

To enter answer this question: what is the name of the charity that stages Brighton and Hove Pride?

Email competitions@thelatest.co.uk with Pride DVD in the subject box and your answer to the question in the body of the email, along with your name, address and telephone number, or write to the address at the front of the magazine.

When my friend Laura reminded me of the old adage that men are like buses, my response was: “What? You have to fork over a couple of quid before you get anywhere?” But that wasn’t what Laura meant, and don’t think I didn’t get a slapped wrist for being so pessimistic. Men are like buses, she reminded me patiently, because you wait ages for one and then two come along at once.

Well, I couldn’t agree more, having managed to score myself two first dates on two consecutive nights, with two men called… wait for it… Dave. Now, although I’ve been known to date extensively throughout the

conspiracy to destroy Western civilisation from within (“What do you think they’re going to do?” I fumed. “Jump up and down in unison and spin the Earth out of orbit?!”) might leave you a little despondent. But therein lies the benefit of double Daving: I still had a Dave in reserve.

Dave Two was an old acquaintance from the Midlands, who had flown south for work, and who was probably surprised on the morning of our date when I rang up and tentatively asked if he fancied a Chinese. Once it had been established that he was tolerant of other cultures, the night was a great success; what Dave One lacked in personality,

“I’d managed to steer clear of the common or garden Dave, and here I was, double Daving“ alphabet, up to that point I’d managed to steer clear of the common or garden Dave, and here I was, double Daving.

First up to the mark came Dave One, a strapping hunk of Welsh beefcake who knocked back pints, spoke knowledgeably about rugby, and proved to be tone-deaf during a Singstar session. Ok, so maybe he wasn’t that much of a conversationalist, but I was prepared to overlook this providing he kept the drinks coming and promised never to wear anything that covered his upper arms.

Of course, as with most of the men I’ve dated recently, there was a fly in the ointment; a fly wearing a pointy white hood and carrying a tiny burning cross. Yes, as I quickly discovered, Dave One was a racist.

Now, usually learning your date believes there’s a Chinese

Dave Two had in spades. I found myself thinking this was someone I could have a good time with.

Unfortunately, this was all rather academic as since I’d last seen him Dave Two had got so ugly that, were he to enter an ugly contest, the judges would probably say “Sorry, no professionals.” The irony being if you were to find some way of transplanting his personality into my previous date’s body, I’m sure the result would be my perfect man. But, as I didn’t have a bonesaw handy, I had to content myself with giving him a peck on the cheek and jumping on the nightbus before I turned to stone.

I guess, even though it’s exciting when two buses arrive at once, my inner optimist knows there’ll always be another one along; a better bus that will take me to places I want to go. And I doubt it’ll be driven by a Dave.

The Family

TUESDAY 28

Wednesdays 9pm, Channel 4

(1990, ITV2, 11.55pm. Dir John Badham) For the insomniac in you that just won’t nod off you could do worse than this Mel Gibson/Goldie Hawn vehicle.

They’re exes, he’s supposed to have died years ago, they bump into each other and – kapowy! – they’ve got baddies on their tales. Frivolous fluffy stuff and the banter keeps coming.

I love this. At first I was a little perplexed as to what the point of it was, but now I love it.

The Hughes family let 21 cameras and 16 microphones be placed all over their house, except for the bathroom, and be filmed for 100 days all in the name of documentaries, while the director and his crew sit watching on TV screens from a rented cottage next door.

The point of all this was to get a complete look at the average family, to really see what goes on behind closed doors. And in a weird way, why would we need to as we live it ourselves? But on the other hand, I personally found it very comforting to see that we are actually all the same. Bedtimes, the number of kids or type of pet may vary but at the end of the day we are all bumbling along from day to day trying our best to discipline our children, avoid confrontation with our parents, go to work, come home, cook, eat, have a joke, fight, cry and laugh.

I wouldn’t really call this groundbreaking but there is certainly something special about it.

These eight episodes show you life. And that’s the life of real people, not famous people, not people who want to be famous, not rich or poor, just average. And it works, superbly well.

The dad does the cooking and a majority of the shouting when it is not necessary. The mum tries her best to keep the peace and maintain a relationship with her second eldest daughter who spends all her time and money at the local nightclubs. The two youngest children only seem to get in any trouble when the elder sister is in the area.

Some of the time we as the viewer get the advantage of being a fly on the wall, as we can see what really happened when the parents went out for the evening and, dare I say it, even takes sides between the kids.

This is not the kind of show you race to get home to watch but if you get the chance I would recommend it. There is nothing more fascinating than the way humans work and this is a prime example. Anyone who thinks this will be like Big Brother is very wrong. The family being filmed do not want to be famous. There is no playing up to the camera. You watch life unfold and it is incredibly comforting to see that it’s not only you that has a raging argument and then sidles up for a hug after; who prats around dancing in the front room; drops glasses; won’t clean up; cooks dinner for everyone and no one says thanks.

I don’t know why – but there is something about this show that I love.

It’s just a shame it’s only eight weeks long.

Bird On A Wire ★★★✩✩

WEDNESDAY 29 Hart To Hart: Til Death Us Do Hart ★★★✩✩ (1995, Five, 3.05pm. Dir Tom Mankiewicz) This is Jonathan Hart – he’s quite a guy. This is Jennifer Hart – she’s goi-gious. And when they met it was moi-der. And so started every episode. This is the last in the reunion movies, taking the loved up pair to Munich to save a boy.

Classic afternoon telly.

Movies on the box this week Halloween II ★★★✩✩ (1981, BBC1, 12.40am. Dir Rick Rosenthal) Picking up immediately from where the first Halloween left off – in fact, overlapping by a tad – Laurie Strode has been attacked by hockey maskloving Michael Myers and is saved by Donald Pleasance in a very timely manner. Then the baddie’s body disappears, leading to rampage and gore a-plenty in small town suburbia.

SATURDAY 1 A Time to Kill ★★★★✩ (1996, BBC1, 11.30pm.

Dir Joel Schumacher) A lawyer must defend a black factory worker accused of murdering two racist thugs who raped his daughter.

He is helped by a veteran attorney and a keen law student as he faces the intimidating prosecutor on the controversial case. Based on John Grisham’s best-selling novel.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind ★★★✩✩ (1977, E4, 6.10pm.

Dir Steven Spielberg) A blue-collar worker’s encounter with a UFO leaves him a changed man.

Early Spielberg classic, with a deep emotional draw as the bright lights and little people from the sky make their presence felt in small-town America. (Trivia: the aliens were played by 12-year-old girls).

SUNDAY 2 THURSDAY 30 Breakfast On Pluto ★★★★✩ (2005, Film4, 11.05pm. (Dir Neil Jordan) Cillian Murphy plays Patrick ‘Kitten’ Braden in a tale of transvestite homosexuality in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Taken from the pen of Patrick McCabe, whose previous collaboration with Jordan brought us The Butcher Boy, this is touching and unique with an edge of brassiness to stop the sap.

FRIDAY 31 Cabin Fever ★★★✩✩ (2002, E4, 10.35pm. (Dir Eli Roth) It’s Hallowe’en so there’s got to be gore. It’s practically the law, which is why Hostel creator Eli Roth’s debut fits so well into tonight’s programming.

With a group of young and beautifuls, a flesh-eating virus and paranoia making their home in the woods, there’s more than trouble at t’mill.

Angels Over Broadway

★★★★✩ (1940, Film4, 2.50pm. Dir Ben Hecht and Lee Garmes) Catch this often overlooked characterdriven moral fable about the antics of a small town crook who attempts to swindle a millionaire. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. plays alongside the iconic Rita Hayworth as his partner in crime.

The film is brimming with sparkling dialogue and well deserves a look.

MONDAY 3 Cherry Falls ★★★✩✩ (2000, Ch4, 10.30pm.

Dir Geoffrey Wright) Black comedy horror as a serial killer causes panic and terror while he systematically picks off the virgins in a small-town high school. The pupils embark on a frenzy of terror-fuelled lust, leaving the local sheriff’s daughter in a quandary as she does not quite feel ready for intimacy with her boyfriend.

tuesday 28 Spooks BBC1, 9pm S’back! And Harry’s not pleased.

Vowing a bloody revenge on the head of Russia’s intelligence service – “it’s just biznez, Harry.

Don’t take it so personally” – he enrols the help of newly released Lucas North. He may look good in the Savile Row swirly coat running down the road but is he one of us? Only one way to know.

The Troubles I’ve Seen ITV1, 10.40pm It’s easy to forget how recently ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland had led it to become a first tour of duty for every British serviceman.

Famous faces tell their stories of growing up with this conflict as the backdrop to their lives, including tales from Patrick Kielty, James Nesbitt, Gloria Hunniford and Eamonn Holmes.

He Kills Coppers ITV3, 10pm Based on the popular Jake Arnott novel of 60s British gangsters, police and journalists sparring, this excellent adaptation traverses the story over five years. The starting date is 1966 and after the murder of three police officers, Tony Meehan is suddenly the expert on Billy Porter – Cop Killer.

thursday 30 The Suffolk Strangler: Real Crime ITV1, 9pm Our very own Jack The Ripper of the 21st century, it was only two years ago that a killer was taking advantage of the smallest police force in the country by picking off the prostitutes of Ipswich in the run up to Christmas. With the media piling on the pressure, how did the constabulary cope?

Fred And Rose: The West Murders Five, 11.05pm It’s gone true crime crazy tonight, but with shows on two of the most high profile cases to come out of this country in recent years all the more scary for it. Using archive footage and tapes of police interviews this documentary tries to give an overview to a horrendous story.

In Love With Barbara BBC4, 9pm After creating so many popular romantic plots you’d think that Dame Barbara Cartland must’ve lived either a deluded or charmed life. Neither was true, as shown in this drama based on her life.

With her first marriage ending in a scandalous divorce and heartbreak blighting her, it’s a truly interesting tale.

friday 31 The American Future: A History, By Simon Schama BBC2, 9pm Immigration has always been a prickly issue for any nation, but the one which JFK described as ‘a Nation of Immigrants’ has always taken itself very seriously when it comes to defining what makes an American. Does Obama’s candidacy finally make the US a multi-ethnic country?

Law And Order: Special Victims Unit Five, 10pm Lucky old detectives, they get a tip-off that turns out to be fruitful, meaning less detecting. Yay! Maybe they can go home early and catch a movie. No such luck.

The tip-off leads them to the remains of a boy murdered decades earlier and the likely killer’s already on death row.

Numb3rs ITV3, 9pm It seems that big bangs are popular in mathematics, or so says maths genius Charlie when he’s drafted in by the FBI to help them find out more about an explosion at an army recruiting centre. It’s a tad too similar to an anti-war bombing in the 1970s, but will they be able to catch the person behind this one?

monday 3 Taggart ITV1, 9pm When anti-domestic violence campaigner Emily Patrick is viciously bludgeoned to death, violent men who held a grudge are at the top of the suspect list.

DI Ross and DS Reid conflict over one of the suspects, Kevin Nash, who has been reformed and has now remarried. Cracking crimesolving drama.

Jake On The Box BBC2, 11.20pm Exploring the life and work of Jake Thackray, the undervalued genius famous for his biting satire and understated irony. A rare example of a British singersongwriter in the troubadour tradition. He could be darkly vicious, but was also able to write haunting and romantic songs.

Coming of Age BBC3, 9.30pm What I like about this is it makes a mockery of the High School Musical idea of teens. But man it goes to the extreme! Do teenagers really have this much sex? Either way, it’s snappily written and with a fine performance. Kids today, eh?

Blimey I think we could all learn a thing or two.
