Familiar faces make a cameo in Spamalot and Frankie Cocozza enters Celebrity Big Brother

Horsing about

f you didn’t manage to catch the fantastic Spamalot before Christmas, make sure you catch it this week. With local faces taking up the part of ‘ Sir Not Appearing in the Show’, such as Juice FM’s Guy and Andrea, former Python actress Carol Cleveland, BBC Sussex’s Danny Pike and even BHAFC’s inimitable mascot Gully, the show has been given a New Year’s make-over. Joining the likes of Marcus Brigstocke, Todd Carty and Jodie Prenger, Guy and Andrea are treading the boards in aid of local children’s hospice Chestnut Tree House, so there really is no reason to miss out. “I am full of admiration for the care which Chestnut Tree House offers to children with life limiting illnesses and I am really pleased to be able to help raise funds for this worthwhile cause,” said Andrea. Guy added: “Chestnut Tree House relies almost entirely on the support of the people of Sussex to obtain the £2.5 million which it needs to provide the superb level of care which it offers. We are sure that theatre audiences will give generously.” Spamalot runs at Theatre Royal Brighton until 14 January.

BAD HAIR DAY It isn’t all fun and games for Frankie Corcozza at the moment, as I’m sure he was disappointed to hear that he got voted as having the worst celebrity hairstyle of 2011 as part of Brylcreem’s annual poll. Fellow Brightonian Peter Andre, who spent his New Year’s with Amy Childs, fared much better I’m delighted to say, ranking third after Strictly’s Harry Judd and HRH Prince Harry. Just as well Pete’s around to keep up standards in the city!

he Brighton Centre is delighted to announce that on Friday 13 January 2012 they will host the UK premiere of Tropicana – The Passion Tour, a brand new show from Holiday on Ice. Created and choreographed by former Olympic champion, Robin Cousins MBE, Tropicana takes you on a journey that celebrates love, life, music and dance in one of the most thrilling ice spectaculars you will ever see. Robin Cousins’ love of skating and desire for artistic excellence has given us some of the most unforgettable performances ever seen on ice. In Tropicana Robin invites you to share his dance and musical inspirations – from the high octane rock ‘n’ roll of fifties America to a smouldering bolero and the steamy Latin rhythms of a tropical night club – brought to life by a cast of over 40 world class skaters. As well as offering an original musical score, Tropicana features interpretations of some of the best loved songs from world-renowned songwriter Barry Manilow including ‘I Can’t Smile Without You’, the iconic ‘Mandy’ and the one and only ‘Copacabana’. Robin said: "A few years ago I was working with Barry Manilow on a TV special and I found his music works just as great skating should. It flows beautifully and soars in all the right places. There’s passion and power in the songs and that's what I've always tried to convey in the shows I create, so I am absolutely delighted to have been given the opportunity to showcase this wonderful music in Tropicana and hope this will add a new dimension to the audience's enjoyment of these great songs." For the first time in Holiday on Ice’s history, Tropicana employs a giant, state-of-the-art LED screen as the backdrop to the show, enhancing the action on the ice with a thrilling light show that incorporates additional footage of the skaters. Tropicana will be delighting audiences at the Brighton Centre from Friday 13–Sunday 29 January 2012. Tickets cost £12–£36 and are available from www.brightoncentre.co.uk or from the box office on 0844 847 1538.

18 L7 INTERVIEW contest which does have an element of car-crash television. Your presence makes a real difference, you seem not to be looking for those disasters... “Yes, on MasterChef: The Professionals we are looking for perfection and we don’t set our stall out to make people go wrong, although it does happen, even with professional chefs, but it is a real joy when they get it right.” And of course you have made a star out of Monica Galetti... [Laughs] “Monica was a star before I made her a star.” Yes, but she has become something of a sex symbol now... “Yes, she has quite a following I must say. I took her and her husband David, who also works here at Le Gavroche, to the Harlequins rugby one weekend and she got stopped more than I did, which was rather nice actually.”

THE ROUX LEGACY Michel Roux Jr & his family have become a fine-dining dynasty. Andrew Kay talks to the famous chef on the eve of a new TV show about the Roux family’s history and future It’s 11am on a Tuesday morning and I am calling one of the most famous chefs in the world in the kitchen of his Mayfair restaurant Le Gavroche. There is no mistaking that Michel Roux Jr, named by his father Albert Roux after his equally famous uncle Michel Roux, is at work as I can hear the too familiar clatter of a busy working kitchen in the background. The Roux family has become a legendary dynasty from their early days in Chelsea to what now seems like a culinary empire, but it’s heartening to see that Michel Roux Jr is still hands on despite his burgeoning TV career, the next chapter of which is about to hit our screens. So you are embarking on a new TV programme about the Roux Scholarship? “The Roux Legacy yes, but it’s not just about the scholarship. When we first set off with our production company it was about the scholarship but since then it has grown, it really is the Roux Legacy. It’s about the early years when my father and uncle came to London and it’s about how Le Gavroche was born, my father and uncle’s first restaurant back in 1967, and it is about our family history. It covers our background and then it goes through time to where we are now and, of course, about the future including my daughter.” Is your daughter cooking for the firm now? “No, she now works for Alain Ducasse in Monaco.” Do you think of yourself as a Frenchman or an Englishman? “I would say that I consider myself French when France wins and English when the English win. I am French of course, with French nationality, and I did my French National Service, but I was born in England and had English Schooling, which I think makes me very English. My daughter went to the French Lycée and she is far more French. I did only English schools.”

You are still very hands on in the kitchen at Le Gavroche. How do you find the time to combine that with so much TV work? “As you can hear, I am in the kitchen now. I spend 90 per cent of my time in the kitchen and although the TV does take up a lot of my time I am still able to be here at Le Gavroche. Fortunately the MasterChef studios are here in London so I manage to work that into what is a very busy schedule.”

“I consider myself French when France wins and English when the English win” Do you still get the chance to work in the pastry section of your kitchen? “It was very much a speciality and I did my apprenticeship in pastry and still enjoy it yes, but I have less opportunity now.” MasterChef: The Professionals, which you do, is very different from the amateur MasterChef Michel Roux Jr, Albert Roux, Michel Roux, Alain Roux

The programme I enjoyed most was Michel Roux’s Service which emphasised the whole Roux philosophy in that it is not just about the food... “Absolutely, it isn’t just about the food. In fact, back in the early days in Lower Sloane Street, Father and Uncle used to take it in turns to work the room front of house so that they could see how things were working. One week Uncle Michel would be in the kitchen and Father Albert would be taking orders and carving out front. Actually serving, something that is now unheard of – chefs now hide away in the kitchen.” You talk passionately about Le Gavroche being very much a French restaurant but in your cooking you are experimenting all the time. Where do those ideas come from? “Well, I travel extensively and I eat locally and find things that will be different and often inspiring, not just abroad but also here in Britain. Being who we are we are also lucky to have suppliers who come knocking on our door with exciting produce [laughs]. You see, someone has just handed me some free-range organic meats, it’s wonderful, I love that. People are so passionate now about food.” What is it that makes so many great foreign chefs come to work in England, especially as we had such a bad reputation for lousy food? “Well, those days are gone, well perhaps not all gone but certainly changed, and I would like to think that my father and uncle had a lot to do with that. British food was the laughing stock of the world back in the ‘60s and ‘70s but how that has changed. People will come to London and to the UK for a weekend of great foods.” Do you have a food vice Michel, something you are embarrassed about liking? “Only chocolate.” Chocolate’s not a vice, I meant something really low grade... “Oh yes, but I can’t stand cheap confectionery – it has to be top grade.” Are you looking forward to seeing the new programme? “Very much. It involves almost all of the family with great anecdotes and some very embarrassing photographs too. It has all the family cooking but also lots of chefs who have been through the Le Gavroche experience talking and cooking too. And of course front of house staff. It’s all about what makes the Roux family tick.” The Roux Legacy is new and exclusive to Good Food, Sunday – Thursday at 8pm from 29 January (Sky / HD 249, Virgin 260).

ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK

Food & Drink Andrew Kay shares a succulent rib of beef at The Coal Shed in Brighton

Shares are up

hen the name The Coal Shed came to my attention I did wonder how they had chosen it as a name for a restaurant. Having been brought up ‘t’up north’ I wasn’t too convinced it married well with the idea of good food. How wrong I was. Resisting to attend in the first few months, I was delighted to finally get there in mid December. What once was a rather ordinary pub is now a rather smart restaurant, the look is functional, slightly industrial even but rather successful with muted greys and natural wood. The menu is equally simple with a small selection of starters, main courses and desserts. But the core to their food is a coal fired Spanish oven, and hence the name. Steaks and fresh fish rule although I was impressed to see two vegetarian dishes that sounded rather good, as if the chef has actually made an effort to keep the veggies happy. But the steaks are what you go for and very good they are too, and sharing is the idea “The pudding was with the larger cuts sold by weight and ideally suited to pleasantly light, the both the cooking methods and couples who like to share. sauce pleasantly heavy. But I am getting ahead of myself as usual. So, after a very and the milk ice cream welcome glass of champagne at the bar we settled at our on the side he declared table for starters. Mr R had grilled prawns and loved them. I a total triumph” was as pleased as he was to find that they had been half shelled on arrival, he’s not keen on fiddly food (recently dismissing peas as being too much effort). The prawns came with shredded vegetables and pickled ginger, an excellent bowl of food. I chose razor clams and loved them, sweet, tender, plentiful and bathed in a great herb laden broth with good sourdough for mopping up. So on to the main event, the steak. A 700gm rib was our choice and I asked the chef to cook it so that he thought it was right, after all, I don’t often get to order a whole rib of beef so how was I to know? When it arrived it was perfect, charred on the edges and bloody inside, and packed with flavour. The high temperature of their clever oven clearly does a great job and we loved helping ourselves to thick slices of rare beef. There was plenty too, if not too much. If there had been three of us we would not have gone hungry and we would certainly have finished the excellent chips which we did rather neglect. We chose two sauces to go with the meat, a classic green peppercorn sauce

that was perfect and a herb and chilli chimmichurri which had a lovely fresh balance to it. So steak; first class, on to the side dishes. Now I know that side dishes can be a let down when so much effort goes into the main event, but not here. I was blown away by an English green salad, it was made with great care, well seasoned and packed with delicious things like tiny slices of cornichon, pin head capers and de-seeded cucumber slices. The heritage tomato salad, I hate the word heritage, but here I will forgive it as this was a plate of once again well dressed ingredients and varieties in abundance from deep maroon cherry tomatoes to tiger strips and sharp crisp green varieties. This was impressive stuff and at £2 each really great value. Puds were as good too: an excellent chocolate mousse with salt caramel pecans and a trifle made with pears, panettone and vin santo that came in a knickerbocker glory glass with the appropriate spoon. I liked that. We had a glass of white with our fish and red for the meat from a good and well balanced list and finished with great espressos. Starters are £5.50 to £7.50. Mains start at £8.50 and rise according to weight. Puds are £5.50 to £7 for the cheese. I really cannot wait to go back, even if it’s just for those great, great salads.

Light Bites SEAGULL PIE You may remember me raving about the Albion Pies before the American Express Community Stadium opened. Now they are available at the new Hove Southern Co-operative Store The Southern Co-operative opened its first store in Brighton and Hove city centre in December with the exciting news that it will sell Albion Pies, as made for the American Express Community by Piglet’s Pantry, donating 20p for every pie sold to Albion in the Community. Albion footballer Inigo Calderon helped open the Western Road store. He said:

“Albion in the Community does fantastic work for the local community and we are really pleased that a local store will be helping them, at the same time as making our famous Albion Pies available to people in the city centre.” Joanna Philips from Piglet’s Pantry created the Pies for the Amex Stadium and they have become something of a legend, achieving record pie sales amongst stadiums across the UK. All flavours available at the stadium will be on sale at the new store, including chicken, gammon and leek in a creamy sauce, steak and Harveys ale with mushrooms, butternut squash with spicy roasted vegetables and chicken balti. follow me on twitter

Cold snap? Latest 7 looks at some winter wonders and finds ways to cut back without missing out

ith December and all the festivities behind us, you may well be yearning for the warmer days of spring (we made it past the Shortest Day; it’s the brighter side from here on in!). You’ve bagged some bargains on the sales, but if you’re like us, you find it a bit depressing sifting through products you paid full price for pre Christmas. And buying presents and cards for Christmas 2012 in January? Who really does that? The best way to snap out of the winter blues is to use the start of the new year to take stock and look ahead. Plan what you want to do: whether it’s to lose weight, sort out your finances or change career. Setting goals and making realistic aims will makes things much more achievable. Ditch the latest fad diet to shed the Christmas pounds (chances are the weight will pile back on by summer). Simply cut back on fatty foods, choosing healthier options for meal times and snacks. Drink plenty of water too, as we often mistake dehydration for hunger; drinking water will also help improve the appearance of your skin (for more winter wonders see below). Increase your activity, whether it’s walking to school/college/work or go for a walk in your lunch break – doing this will also increase your intake of Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, despite the cloud! This will make you feel brighter and prevent SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) developing. Stay healthy, happy and bright. There’s only 10 weeks until British Summertime begins!

The best bits The must-have products to see you through the rest of winter Advanced Formula Firm & Lift set, £27.50, from Marks & Spencer, www.marksandspencer.co.uk. Featuring a beauty balm, SPF 15 illuminating day cream, illuminating night cream and a fire-engine red handy carry case. The balm lifts and rejuvenates dull skin (cold winds and central heating takes its toll on our complexions), with proven results in four weeks. The day cream brightens and protects while the replenishing night balm firms and restores skin. Chocomania Shower Cream and Body Butter, £TBC, from The Body Shop, www.thebodyshop.co.uk. Craving chocolate but determined to stick to your New Year resolutions? Head to The Body Shop in February and indulge in their new Chocomania collection – no calorie counting required. Expect the light whipped texture of The Body Shop’s butters – foregoing their fruity fragrances for a sweet treat instead. Almond Hand & Nail Cream Collection, from £5, from The Body Shop, www.thebodyshop.co.uk. Look after your hands this winter with this must-have collection for soft and looked after skin. The collection includes a nail and cuticle oil, hand and nail cream, hand and nail butter and conditioning hand wash. The Body Shop butters are a firm favourite here at Latest Towers but the cream comes in a travel-size tube making it practical for those on the go. follow me on twitter

The number one party venue in Europe’s sexiest city – BRIGHTON!

SEASONAL TREAT THE NUTCRACKER – A HAPPY DREAM Brighton Dome Concert Hall, 22 December JJJJJ

P You make the booking, we make it happen. Tell us what you want, we’ll provide it all. A fabulous party and you have to do nothing!

NEW!! We can now film your party in high definition and give you a DVD to take away with you at amazing introductory prices. We are the first venue in the UK to offer this.

eter Schaufuss has taken the twinkly Christmas ballet and given it a striking modern edge. Shifting the scene from a classical period setting may have, for some, taken away the magic of the work, and indeed the setting, although striking, was somewhat bland and at times drab; the shifting perspex screens added very little to the entertainment and were just a little clunky. The party guests in variants of black tie and evening dress looked great and there was some very witty choreography as they danced, many of the males doing what can only be described as ‘Dad dancing’ in a balletic format. If the setting disappointed though, it was more than made up for by the excellent company and some extremely good dancing. The ensemble work was tidy enough and the snowflakes in huge white wigs that showered snow onto the yellow rectangular 'pitch' in which the story played out, was very pretty and witty too with shades of Slava and his snow show. After the interval came the set pieces, all of which were danced well and choreographed with a freshness that pleased. The biggest surprise was that, despite being on stage, the Sugar Plum Fairy had to sit out her dance as Clara stole what is perhaps the most famous moment from the work, and in doing so she stole the show. As a narrative the work was somewhat thin, but the set pieces allowed for some very pretty dancing and in reality that is what most of us want from The Nutcracker. Personally I think the staging could have been a bit more lavish, the pared down look was effective in a way but I didn't get that magical tingle that I usually get from this, one of Tchaikovsky's most famous works. That said, it was a delightful seasonal treat that I am sure will please audiences. Andrew Kay

GLENN TILBROOK

Despite sporting a Brian Blessed beard, Glenn’s voice was instantly recognisable and an early shout for ‘Voodoo Chile’ was rewarded with a fine rendition on a 12 string acoustic. Not needing to rely on past glories, his talent to write wry

songs of everyday life proved to be as strong as ever. A selection of co-written songs with both Ron Sexsmith and 9 Below Zero demonstrated his versatility but ‘Up The Junction’ was the jewel in the crown. Amazingly a Shadows tribute and an X Factor parody worked equally well and a guestladen Balearic encore had the crowd out of their seats. Komedia, 19 December JJJJJ Steve Clements

of popular music greats and comedy sketches, this time sprinkled with magical Christmas dust! We even had a Christmas panto, albeit with Alf Garnett as Scrooge, with Bob Marley and Elvis as two of the visiting ghosts. A rousing finale of Christmas hits got the audience on their collective feet and topped off a hugely enjoyable evening of entertainment. It’s not subtle, it’s not highbrow, but it is very good fun. Assembly Hall, Worthing Theatres 28 December JJJJJ Lee Stevens

SINATRA, SEQUINS & SWING – THE CAPITOL YEARS LIVE! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

Led by the charismatic and flamboyant Pete Long, his band provided a glorious backbone to a body of songs that epitomise the career of Frank Sinatra. Sung with integrity (but with a few nice jazz florets) by the smooth Kevin Fitzsimmons, the evening swung like a laid back pendulum. The ‘sequins’ element was provided by sassy Kitty La Roar who writhed and slinked her way through hits by Ella Fitzgerald, Marilyn Munroe and Eartha Kitt with great ease. The evening as a whole was a glorious and honest rendition of Sinatra’s ‘Capitol’ years, a brilliant sound by singer and band alike. Assembly Hall, Worthing Theatres, 29 December JJJJJ Lee Stevens

MOSCOW CITY BALLET ROMEO AND JULIET

Chichester’s stage seemed made for this drama, grand yet intimate. Prokofiev’s popular score was brilliantly realised by Igor Shavruk’s small orchestra. The choreography really needed to shine to match such music, and so it did. Laughter and delight mixed with real passion and pain. Except in the love scene, Mercutio (Artem Minakov, a comic star) and Tybalt (Talgat Kozhabaev, both powerful and tender) ruled the first two acts. Then they died, and the lovers (Liliya Orekhova and Daniil Orlov) delivered real tragedy. His mad grief, her limp body, spectral dance “en pointe” and silent scream of anguish were a triumph!

LATEST PREVIEWS STAGE

L7 Previews STAGE: NEW SEASON Theatre Royal Brighton’s sparkling new season is here

nce again the Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG) have delivered a stunning package of balanced entertainment for audiences at Theatre Royal Brighton. Audiences are accustomed to a rich diet that offers fun shows and serious drama in equal measure, and the new season is no exception. Starting with a series of one nighters that includes concerts, comedy and ballet, the drama season kicks off proper with The King’s Speech starring Charles Edwards as George VI and Jonathan Hyde as Lionel Logue. This stage version of the recent hit film is bound to attract huge attention and booking will no doubt be essential. (27 Feb–3 Mar). Inspired by the smash hit albums Dreamboats And Petticoats 1, 2 and 3, comes the sell out sensation, Dreamboats And Petticoats – The Musical, featuring some of the greatest hit songs of the rock ’n’ roll era. Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds Of A Feather, The New Statesmen and Shine On Harvey Moon, this new feelgood musical production will give you ‘the greatest time of your life’.

Featuring classic tracks from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran, Billy Fury, and many more, including ‘Let’s Dance’, ‘To Know Him Is To Love Him’, ‘Shaking All Over’, ‘Bobby’s Girl’, ‘Three Steps To Heaven’, ‘Little Town Flirt’, ‘Only Sixteen’, ‘Runaround Sue’, ‘Happy Birthday Sweet 16’, ‘Let It Be Me’, ‘Great Pretender’, ‘C'mon Everybody’, ‘Let’s Twist Again’ and many more hits from music's golden era! (5–10 March). Next the West End hit and international award-winning hit Legally Blonde The Musical. Winner of seven major awards including Best Musical 2011 (Olivier Awards) this all-singing, all-dancing romantic comedy is about knowing who you are and showing what you've got! In Legally Blonde, Elle Woods can handle anything. So when her boyfriend, Warner, dumps her she decides to follow him to Harvard Law School and win him back. With some help from new-found friends Paulette, Emmett, and her chihuahua Bruiser, she learns that it's so much better to be smart. Directed by Tony and Olivier awardwinning Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray), Legally Blonde The Musical is the The Lady In The Van

Legally Blonde The Musical

Anne Boleyn

funniest and most fabulous musical around. The best show in town, case closed. (13–24 March). This year, Rambert Dance Company celebrates 85 years at the heart of British dance, and returns to Brighton with a breathtaking new programme. Artistic director Mark Baldwin’s playful new work, Seven For A Secret, Never To Be Told, features a gorgeous score by Ravel/McNeff, while Javier De Frutos’s exciting new work Elysian Fields is inspired by the life and work of Tennessee Williams. Plus, don’t miss this rare chance to see the romantic and surprising ‘Roses’ by American dance icon Paul Taylor, with live music throughout from the sensational Rambert Orchestra. (28–31 March). Next Anne Boleyn – Lover. Heretic. Revolutionary. Queen. Compelling, witty and often laugh-out-loud funny, this celebration of a great English heroine, Anne Boleyn, leaps cunningly between generations to expose the life and legacy of Henry VIII’s notorious second wife. Anne Boleyn is traditionally seen either as a pawn manipulated into the King’s bed, or as a sexually licentious predator, even a witch. But Howard Brenton puts a very different Anne – and her ghost – on

the stage. Following two sell out London seasons, two powerhouses of great theatre – ETT and Shakespeare’s Globe – join forces to stage this vivid and vibrant production; gripping, rich in humour and shot through with sublime chamber music and visual imagery. (3–11 April). In The Lady In The Van Alan Bennett has a very unusual neighbour. Parked at the bottom of his garden is a van. With a lady in it. The Lady In The Van is Miss Shepherd. Alan knows very little about her. She used to drive ambulances in the war, might have been a nun, sells pencils and pamphlets and has an unexplained aversion to piano music. But somehow she lives in the playwright’s garden and has done for years. Alan Bennett is one of the nation’s best-loved playwrights, with plays including The History Boys, Talking Heads and The Madness of George III. The Lady In The Van stars Nichola McAuliffe, one of British theatre’s most loved actresses. As well as playing Sheila Sabatini in seven series of ITV’s Surgical Spirit, Nichola won an Olivier Award for Outstanding Performance By An Actress In A Musical for her role in Kiss Me Kate (RSC).

MUSIC: THE XCERTS The Xcerts insert various influences into new album

urray Macleod, Jordan Smith and Tom Heron make up this energetic three-piece who originally hailed from Aberdeen before making their way to Brighton in 2006. The Xcerts then went on to release two singles through One Records in Glasgow, followed by two further singles on Sam Duckworth's (Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly) label Mannequin Republic. Their debut album In The Cold Wind We Smile was produced by Dave Eringa and released on Xtra Mile Recordings, establishing their reputation as one of the UK’s finest indie rock exponents, albeit with a heavy Stateside influence form the likes of Jimmy Eat World. Indeed, their recent second album, Scatterbrain, was recorded in America with Mike Sapone, and again it highlights the melodic undertow of this visceral band. “There are certain records that we’re all really into that have a similar sound – a balance of raw emotion and good production,” says singer and guitarist Murray Macleod. “‘In Utero’ by Nirvana, ‘Pinkerton’ by Weezer, ‘Either/Or’ by Elliot Smith, ‘The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me’ by Brand New, ‘Nebraska’ by Bruce Springsteen and ‘For Emma Forever Ago’ by Bon Iver. That’s pretty much exactly how we wanted this record to sound. “There’s a lot of experimentation on this album,” continues Macleod, who credits Sapone for encouraging and cultivating the creative process. Murray sums up the record as, ‘the sweet sound of a young man losing his mind’. It’s a bit overwhelming at times for those not versed in The Xcerts. “This is an album lover’s album for the fans of the band. It’s not about a particular track or single and should be listened to as an entire body of work with an open mind. Tues 17 Jan, The Haunt, 7.30pm, £6 follow me on twitter

FILM: THE DARKEST HOUR 3D (TBC) Dir: Chris Gorak An American film about five young Russians’ battle for survival following an alien invasion. You wouldn’t have seen it happening 20 years ago. So with the end of the Cold War comes the start of the united defence of the planet against outside aggressors. Yay, unity. Anyway, this is about the

plucky Russians making thier last stand against a Moscow backdrop. Kapow. Released Fri 13 Jan Showing at Odeon and Cineworld For full details of film times: www.odeon.co.uk www.picturehouses.co.uk www.cineworld.co.uk www.worthingtheatres.co.uk

FILM: SHAME (18) Director: Steve McQueen

lready the winner of nine awards and nominated for a further 16, Shame, from British filmmaker Steve McQueen, is certainly making a splash in cinematic circles. Michael Fassbender plays Brandon, a New York loner who, although avoiding intimacy with women, cannot control his sexual desires and is compulsively addicted to sex with women. With an already haphazard lifestyle to contend with, things start to spiral rapidly out of control when his younger sister Cissy, played by Carey Mulligan, unceremoniously comes to stay with him. Churning up problems from the past and never dealing with issues of the present, it’s hardly surprising the result is a film generating so much international attention when in the hands of such a respected writer and director.

STARS With Val Aviv

HARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20} The time has come to embrace your earthly ambitions by finding a way to fulfill your more material needs. You’ve got to be professional about finishing the job that you’ve started; no-one else should do your dirty work for you.

HTAURUS {Apr 21–May 21} There’s no harm in pleasure for pleasure’s sake, while caught up in the grind for material security, don’t forget that you deserve to enjoy your life. Dip your toes into something fun; it will help you let off steam. Laughing is the best medicine.

HGEMINI {May 22–June 21} You could really use a ‘sort my life out’ kind of day to put important matters to bed; consolidating and organising finances. While getting to grips with serious matters lifts your spirits, so a charmed and glamorous you re-emerges.

HCANCER {June 22–July 22} If you dive into another person’s shoes you will quickly see that the world is vastly different from your own. Put your current problems in perspective and try to enjoy this moment while walking bravely into a mysterious future.

HLEO {July 23–Aug 22} You can be easily inspired wondering down the hall of mirrors as they’re reflecting an idealistic part of yourself. You may well be immersed in the physical realm of action, but you need to look behind the veil to find out what’s really going on.

HVIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22} Finding a positive outlet for any pent up aggression can lead to the discovery of a creative pursuit. If you’re not on top of your ‘to do’ list then the challenge may get greater, as mental order competes with intoxicating emotional chaos.

HLIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22} Can life ever be as idealistic as we wish it to be, or must we constantly come down from a cloud to find that everything is not as it should be? Love’s compelling spell is addictive, intoxicating and deep but hard to pin down.

thursday 12 New Tricks BBC1, 9pm Good news and bad news. Good news is that New Tricks has been recommissioned for another two series. Yay! Bad news is that this is James Bolam’s last series, although he is in talks to return for a single episode in each series so hopefully that means his disappearance won’t be mortally permanent. As you were.

My Daughter The Teenage Nudist Channel 4, 10pm This documentary talks to Mollie and Alex, two of a growing number of teens and twentysomethings embracing the world of public nudity and using it to challenge the media’s obsession with the body beautiful. They are on a quest to normalise nudity. Chilly though.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot ITV3, 7.55pm You know how there are always those curses that strike down dead anyone who opens an Egyptian King’s tomb? Poirot does. He’s not one to believe in superstition and magic though and is hot on the trail of a perfectly logical explanation. And just plain hot. It’s Egypt! Our sleuth is used to cooler climes.

monday 16 The One Griff Rhys Jones BBC 1, 8.30pm It’s been 15 years since we last saw Griff Rhys Jones in a sketch show, during which time he’s been ‘doing a Michael Palin’ and travelling around growing a beard. But now he’s returned to comedy and has dragged in some familiar faces, including Hugh Bonneville, Tom Hollander, Larry Lamb and old mate Mel Smith.

When Ali Came To Britain ITV 1, 10.35pm To mark iconic heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali’s 70th birthday this documentary looks at his long relationship with Britain including contributions from fans, friends and opponents. Previously unseen home and archive footage as well as Ali’s controversial fights with Henry Cooper are also discussed.

Bizarre Crime BBC 3, 10.30pm This is for anyone fascinated by weird people doing embarrassing things to themselves or inanimate objects. It mainly focuses on drunken theft, such as taking a tortoise from a pet sanctuary, a mannequin from a sex shop and an unattended ferry to Ireland. Unfortunately there’s no Mr T shouting ‘fools doing stuff’.
