Stage star excited to perform at ‘home’ theatre Theatre As Bill Kenwright’s lavish new production of The Sound of Music arrives at The Bristol Hippodrome, we talk to one of its stars, local actor and singer Lucy Van Gasse

ne of the greatest musicals of all time returns to the stage at The Bristol Hippodrome in a magnificent new production to enchant the young and the young at heart. Bill Kenwright’s wonderfully lavish new staging of The Sound of Music tells the true story of the world-famous von Trapp singing family, from their romantic beginnings and search for happiness, to their thrilling escape to freedom at the start of the Second World War. The unforgettable score features some of the most memorable songs ever performed on stage, including Edelweiss, My Favorite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, So Long, Farewell and of course, the title song, The Sound of Music. Joining Lucy O’Byrne (BBC1’s The Voice runner-up) in the role of Maria and star of stage and screen Andrew Lancel as Captain Von Trapp, is local singer and actor Lucy Van Gasse, who plays Baroness Elsa Schraeder. The classically trained soprano, pictured

inset, has previously appeared in internationally acclaimed opera and on stage in the West End, in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies. We caught up with Lucy, who grew up in Nailsea and went to school in Backwell, ahead of the show, which will be her first performance on The Bristol Hippodrome stage, where she had her first experiences of theatre as a child. Lucy says: “I started ballet lessons when I was three and I loved dancing to music. I played the piano and trumpet at school and then started singing lessons when I was about 14. “I’ve always loved musical performances and my mum would take me to the Bristol Hippodrome to see all sorts of things from ballet to musicals to opera. “It was really inspiring to see such incredible productions as a child.

➤➤➤ “I loved performing in school productions and loved the buzz of being part of a show or concert.” Lucy says it is extra special to be performing at the theatre in her home town, and she’ll have lots of family and friends in the audience. “I was so excited to find out we’d be performing at The Bristol Hippodrome,” says Lucy. “It’s where I was first introduced to the magic of theatre and I’ve always wanted to come back to perform. It will feel very special for me.” Lucy tells us about her role. “In The Sound of Music I play the part of Baroness Elsa Schraeder, the aristocratic fiancé of the Captain before Maria comes along and scuppers my plans! “She’s an interesting part to play, and although she can come across quite a harsh character, I tend to feel sorry for her as the story develops.” Lucy studied Music at Cardiff University,

where she received the Sir Geraint Evans Award for Outstanding Performance, and later studied for a Post-Graduate Diploma at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. She has taken on many wonderful roles during her career, performing around the world as well as at the Royal Albert Hall and on the West End stage. Lucy says: “I trained in opera but then most of my career has been musical theatre and I love them both, it would be hard to choose a favourite! “My first professional musical theatre job was in the West End in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies, the sequel to Phantom Of The Opera. “I covered the lead role of Christine and got to play her many times. It was an absolute dream come true. Also, you can’t beat playing Glinda in Wicked, that really is a spectacular show. “I’ve been very lucky in my career so far and done some amazing roles, as for the future... who knows!” The Sound of Music started as a Broadway musical composed by Rogers and Hammer-

stein. The world renowned and Oscar-winning film version was released in 1965, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. Playing Maria in this show is Lucy O’Byrne, who became a household name when she shot to success as the runner-up in the live shows of the TV talent show, The Voice. With chart-topper Will.i.am as her mentor and biggest fan, Lucy made history as the first classical singer to reach the final, impressing the nation with her stunning vocal range. Andrew Lancel is best known as super-villain Frank Foster in Coronation Street. He also played DI Neil Manson in the long-running ITV television series The Bill. His numerous stage credits include Bill Kenwright’s touring productions of The Small Hand and Twelve Angry Men. Andrew starred in Epstein: The Man Who Made The Beatles in Liverpool and London, and most recently appeared on stage in The Damned United at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. ■ The Sound of Music is at The Bristol Hippodrome from Tuesday, August 30 to Saturday, September 3.

‘It’s my life and I am happy to share, especially if it helps someone else’ Music After more than a decade of graft, Nashville’s Margo Price has finally found her way into the country music spotlight – with a suitably turbulent back story and emotive tone to boot. She tells Andy Welch how it was a case of the world changing, not her.

f you’re looking for music to help fix a broken heart, there’s a lot to be said for listening to country. Such is the synergy between the genre and pouring one’s heart out, there’s a song to suit almost any emotion – just look at the titles. There’s Johnny Cash’s Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart, Gary Stewart’s She’s Actin’ Single (I’m Drinkin’ Double), Deana Carter’s Did I Shave My Legs For This? Country songs have a habit of laying on the emotional disasters a bit thick. Maybe therein lies their secret – how better to cheer yourself up than listening to someone even worse off than you? – but it also raises suspicion that lots of it’s completely made up for artistic effect. Listening to Margo Price’s debut album, Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, and the same sneaking feeling creeps up. “When I rolled out of town on the unpaved road, I was 57 dollars from being broke,” she sings on opening track Hands Of Time. “Kissed my mama and my sisters and I said goodbye, and with my suitcase packed I wiped the tears from my eyes.” The song goes on to detail how her father lost the family farm when she was two, and she spent her teenage years dreaming of making enough money to buy it back. Eventually, she moved to the city to follow her ambition of becoming a country star – and after settling down with a married man, had a couple of babies and started living off the land. “But my firstborn died and I cried out to God, is there anybody out there looking down on me at all?” All this within the first three verses. And it’s all absolutely true. “I think everyone loves an underdog,” says

33-year-old Price, when asked if her life story has helped draw fans to her music. “I think I’m relatable; I’m a working-class, down-to-earth person, and the music translates that. I think I’m pretty honest too, and people appreciate that. I’m not trying to lie about where I come from and things that have happened to me, there’s no act. It is what it is.” Price’s story – farm repossession, rocky relationships, marriage, death of a child and subsequent struggle with drink – could quite easily be taken from a character in an old George Jones or Waylon Jennings song. It’s easy to forget she’s had to live this tale, and it’s more than just a back story to entice listeners. “Most of the time I’m OK with it, as long as people are getting the story straight. Sometimes, people will write that I had a DUI (driving under the influence charge), but I didn’t. It was a misdemeanour,” she adds with a laugh, before getting serious for a moment. “Some days I can talk about the details of my life, and it’s all I want to talk about. Other days, I want to talk about anything but. Some days are harder than others, but it’s my life and I am happy to share. Especially if it helps someone else.” She might be new to the spotlight, but Price has been plugging away, playing her songs around her adopted home of Nashville (she was born in Buffalo Prairie, Illinois), for more than a decade. She always wanted to make a living from her songs, but toyed with photography and dance tuition when it looked like her the music

➤➤➤ might never take off. “I can do those things but I never really had the same passion for them,” she admits. “I loved the idea of performing my songs for people, but also the travel. That was contagious, from the first time I toured, I knew it was for me.” She first got a sense things were finally going her way when, about two years ago, the editor of Rolling Stone Country showed up at one of her gigs. “He started writing some articles about me and there was a bit of a buzz around me from there, locally and a bit further afield.” At this point, she didn’t have a manager or publicist, and was simply doing what she’d always done, playing her songs as she always had. “The world changed, not me,” she says. “I think people want something a little more authentic, and I guess that works in my favour.” Price was signed to Jack White’s label, Third

Man – but only after she’d recorded her debut, which she had to finance the recording of herself, achieved by selling her car and pawning her wedding ring. The sacrifices paid off though; Midwest Farmer’s Daughter’s already being talked about as one of “the” albums of 2016. But success isn’t entirely what Price imagined; she admits that while she is now travelling a lot, she rarely gets to explore any of the cities she playing in, and has been away from home for much of the year. “There’s a Keith Whitley song that goes, ‘It’s lonely at the top, but it’s a bitch at the bottom’, so I can definitely identify with that at the minute. But then there’s a country song for every occasion,” she reflects. As for how she feels about finding recognition a little later down the line (if you can call early-30s late down the line), Price says it’s a case of “better late than never”, and it may even mean she’s better prepared for life in the spotlight. “We’re still living in the same house, my husband and I share the car, I’m maintaining a fairly normal life, whatever that is,” says Price.

from Friday, August 26, 2016

“It’s been great this year... I’m very happy I can do this, because everyone told me it was an impossibility. “And staying in Nashville, my feet are going to be kept on the ground. Nashville is not the sort of place you can get away with diva behaviour. Bad news travels very fast.” She’s hoping to start working on her second album soon, once she’s toured the UK once more. It’s her biggest UK tour to date. Having played some shows in May, including a star turn on Later with Jools Holland, and sold out shows in London, Price is back this time alongside her band: Dillon Napier on drums, Kevin Black on bass, Luke Schneider on pedal steal and Jamie Davis on guitar. “I can’t wait to get working on my next album, hopefully that will happen in the autumn. Things are going well, new songs are sounding good,” adds Price. “But the best thing is, I won’t have to sell a car or a wedding ring to afford it.” ■ Margo Price plays at Exchange, Bristol, on Sunday, August 28.

Our stars lining up at iconic festival Music Lots of Bristolians will be making the trip along the M4 this weekend for the Reading Festival, including a clutch of homegrown stars who will be appearing on stage

ome of Bristol’s finest comedians will be appearing at this weekend’s Reading Festival. Taking place from Friday, August 26 to Sunday, August 28, acts including Bill Bailey, Russell Howard and John Robins will be appearing at the Richfield Avenue site. Old flatmates Howard and Robins will both be appearing on the Alternative Stage on the festival’s opening day. Household name Howard is most famous for his BBC show, Russell Howard’s Good News, and performs to sell-out audiences around the country. Friend Robins is an up-and-coming star and Edinburgh Festival regular who has earned a cult following through the Radio X show he host with fellow comic Elis James. The surreal, off-the-wall Bill Bailey will appear on the Alternative Stage on Saturday. Fans can expect quirky humour, jokes and music from the star famous for Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Black Books among many other things. Away from comedy, Bristol’s star of Game of Thrones, Raleigh Ritchie, is going to be bringing his music skills to the fore when he takes to the BBC Radio 1xtra Stage on the closing night of the festival. Earlier this year, Ritchie released his album You’re a Man Now, Boy to great critical acclaim. And, for those looking to party, Bristol’s brilliant DJ Redlight will be behind the decks at the BBC Radio 1 Dance Stage on the last day of the festival. As well as our local stars, festival-goers will get to enjoy headline performances from Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foals, Biffy Clyro, Disclosure and Fall Out Boy.

Reading Festival favourite Frank Turner will play the event for the tenth year running. Frank, 34, will be setting a new record for the most consecutive appearances at a festival when he opens Reading this year’s. “There’s sort of an unwritten rule you’re not supposed to do more than two in row,” explains Frank. “It feels absolutely fantastic to play Reading for ten consecutive years and it will be one of those things in my career that I’ll be extremely proud of. “I’ve played it the main stage twice and it will be a real pleasure to play it three times and open the festival. “One of the great memories was in 2013 when my mum introduced me to the stage. She was such a hit that she started trending on Twitter – it caused a bit of a stir. I had to explain to her what that meant,” Frank jokes. He adds: “The fans are great. I like that it attracts real music fans. They are like me and try to make sure they see as much as they can during the festival. “I went for many years as a punter before I started performing – my first Reading Festival was 1995. The experience obviously changed a bit when I started playing. “I don’t tend to look at the line-up anymore as I don’t want to disappoint myself by missing something but I do get to see as much as I can.” ■ The Reading Festival runs from Friday, August 26 to Sunday August 28 at the Richfield Avenue site. For the full line-up see www.readingfestival.com. Tickets for this year’s festival are sold out but some are available at face value on the resale website www.twickets.co.uk.

WEEKEND 15

ThunderCats are go for thrilling sea races Days out Powerboat racing is a spectacular sight, and this weekend Clevedon bay is hosting two days of races out on the open water, writes Heather Pickstock

16 DO IT ● ● ● ● ●

from Friday, August 26, 2016

owerboats will be thrilling the crowds around Clevedon bay this weekend in an adrenalin-charged event that is new to the town. The picturesque resort is hosting rounds nine and ten of the RYA ThunderCat Championship over two days – Saturday, August 27 and Sunday, August 28 – with four hours of racing each day. Spectators can watch all the action, as the racers battle for pole positions, hoping to make

the top 12 that will go through to the final heat. After rounds 11 and 12 in Cornwall in September, the Championship finishes with rounds 13 and 14 in Gibraltar in October. It will be the first time powerboat racing, one of the world’s most exhilarating water sports, has taken place in Clevedon. The event will see more than 20 boats, known as racing rigs, take part in a two-day relay race going between the Marine Lake and Clevedon Pier. The boats and racing teams will be using

Clevedon Sailing Club as their headquarters over the weekend. The idea to bring power racing to Clevedon was the brainchild of chamber of Commerce president Paul Anslow, who has been working on the project for 18 months. The ThunderCat team already races in other UK seaside resorts including Newquay in Cornwall. Paul, who owns Triangle Telecoms in the town, says: “We have been working on this idea for many months and are delighted the event will be taking place over the bank holiday weekend. “This will be one of the biggest events Clevedon has seen in many years. It’s something that has a real wow factor to it.” The event is expected to attract crowds of thousands to the resort. Paul adds: “The hope is that the power boat racing would become a major tourist event for Clevedon. “It will bring people into the town and benefit the local economy and it is something which we plan to host every year.” A VIP area is to be set up on Clevedon Pier for the event where people can enjoy food and a glass of fizz while watching the races. A spokesman for ThunderCat Racing says: “The course is set to be the fast and furious Enduro course, testing teams’ stamina and allout speed. “Spectators will be able to view the action while strolling down the pedestrian promenade or along the iconic Clevedon Pier.” As well as boosting the local economy and bringing a new event to Clevedon, it is also hoped the arrival of the power boats will inspire young people to get onto the water. The town’s Marine Lake has recently undergone a major £800,000 overhaul and a number of activities, such as canoeing and sailing, are already available. Paul says: “There has been an amazing transformation of Marine Lake and it is a facility the town can now be really proud of. “We hope the power boat racing will inspire our young people to get onto the water and engage in activities such as sailing and boating.” ■ A full timetable of the racing can be found at www.thundercatracing.com/#!clevedon-northsomerset-round-9-10/qx1h3 ■ For more ideas for things to do over the bank holiday weekend, see pages 54 & 55.

Authentic Italian food at buzzy wine bar Food Mark Taylor reviews two new Italian restaurants – Zitto & Bevi in Stokes Croft and Bertha’s Pizza at Wapping Wharf

n a week that saw the London-based Polpo open with a bang on Whiteladies Road, a smaller, more modest Italian eatery opened near Stokes Croft. Zitto & Bevi is also styled on the backstreet wine bars of Italy, serving simple food and interesting young wines. What is it? Zitto & Bevi calls itself an osteria, not a restaurant, and it is based on the small, cramped wine bars in Italian backstreets, where locals congregate over homecooked food and glasses of good wine. It’s on Nine Tree Hill, just off the junction where Stokes Croft meets Cheltenham Road and Ashley Road. Previously The Runcible Spoon restaurant, it has been a number of cafés and restaurants over the past two decades, including Nanny’s House and Cafe Kino. The owner is chef Sergio Carravetta, whose background is in restaurants in Rome. He was a customer at The Runcible Spoon and when they said they were closing and thinking of selling up, he jumped at the opportunity to take it on and turn it into his own place. Sergio is joined in the tiny kitchen by chef Freddie Hart. Manager Matteo Amione comes from a small town near Lake Como in northern Italy and his enthusiasm and friendliness adds considerable charm to Zitto & Bevi. With his bushy beard, twinkling eyes and infectious laugh, he greets – even hugs – strangers like old friends and sits down next to you to run through the menu. Matteo knows the story behind each dish and wine and his passion for Italian food and drink shines through. If only there were more people like him in Bristol restaurants. According to owner Sergio, Zitto & Bevi is a pun on what every Italian child has heard since

20 EAT IT ● ● ● ● ●

birth – “zitto e mangia”, meaning shut up and eat. Zitto & Bevi loosely translates into “shut up and drink”. It’s set across two floors of what was previously The Runcible Spoon. The basement dining room is darker than the upstairs, which has space for diners eat at high stools in the window and what Stokes Croft life ebb and flow outside. On warm evenings, you can take your food and drinks outside on the pavement. Even on the Tuesday evening we visited, the place was buzzing with Italian banter (many of the customers were young Italians sipping Campari spritz) and music. It’s noisy, slightly chaotic and all the better for it. The menu is simple and based around Italian home cooking. There is lasagna (a classic meat lasagne but also a fish one and vegetarian version) and baked polenta dishes. The food is inspired by different regions of Italy, from Venice to Turin passing through Rome to Southern Italy. A short choice of “with your fingers” starters are all £4 including bruschetta, roasted polenta and frittata di pasta (spaghetti omelette). Main courses are £5-£9 and include lasagne al salmone, a selection of cured meats and/or Italian cheeses, and two vegetarian and gluten-free takes on Neapolitan classics: the sartù di riso (a savoury, baked rice cake with peas, boiled eggs, mozzarella served with tomato sauce), and the gateau di patate (a baked potato cake). There are 19 wines from Italian co-operatives or family-run vineyards, which are imported directly by the owner, allowing the bar to offer “better quality wine at the lowest price possible”. Zitto & Bevi is the first importers in the UK for most of them and Sergio knows the winemakers personally. The wines are priced from

from Friday, August 26, 2016

£12 to £19 a bottle, with four served by the glass (from £2 for 125ml). We drank the Ulisse Barbera DOC (£15 a bottle) which was a slightly dry but juicy red bursting with black cherry flavours. The tropical fruit-scented Cortese DOC Piemonte is one of the best-selling whites. To eat, we started with the bruschetta, which is ridiculously good value at £4. You get to choose three different toppings from a huge selection – we went for the sautéed garlicky mushrooms, the caponata and the creamy mackerel baccala on thick slices of toasted bread. To follow, polenta with Italian sausage ragu (£9) was a rich, filling, creamy bowl of polenta topped with a smooth, garlicky tomato sauce and pieces of firm, herby Italian sausage flecked with fennel seeds. There is only one dessert on offer – a classic tiramisu (£4) as good as any I have tasted.

ZITTO & BEVI 3 Nine Tree Hill, just off Stokes Croft, Bristol, BS1 3SB. Open Mon-Sat 5pm-11pm. From September, the hours will be extended to Mon-Thurs noon-11pm and Fri/Sat noon-midnight. Tel: 0117 3297645.

VERDICT: Hearty, honest, filling home cooking served in a buzzy backstreet wine bar, Zitto & Bevi brings an authentic slice of Italy to Stokes Croft and it is one of the most interesting new Bristol openings of the year. It’s the real deal.

Artisan pizzas made the traditional way arrive blistered and delicious

ertha’s Pizza is the latest opening at the redeveloped Wapping Wharf area but it occupies a building with a long history. A detached stone-built building, it was originally the stables for the old gaol nearby, but since then it has been a warehouse for an olive company, the short-lived Mud Dock Deli and, most recently, a marketing suite for Wapping Wharf. It’s run by Graham Faragher and his wife, Kate. Graham is a self-taught chef who used to work as an engineer for the McLaren Formula 1 team (when Lewis Hamilton joined the sport) and he also worked in finance. When they moved to Bristol from London, they set up a mobile artisan sourdough pizza business that used a wood-fired oven housed in a converted, yellow Land Rover Defender. At the new business, Bertha is the pizza oven that takes pride of place in the open kitchen and weighs three tonnes. The hand-built pizza oven was made by fourth generation oven maker Stefano Ferarra in Naples. Bertha runs at a temperature of around 500c and cooks pizzas in 60 to 90 seconds. Bertha’s Pizza uses traditional techniques for the pizzas, which have sourdough bases and toppings sourced from top producers. The sourdough is kneaded by hand and the pizza toppings are guided by the seasons. The flour used comes from a family-run mill in Naples and contains no additives. The organic passata is sourced from The Tomato Stall on the Isle of Wight, the Italian-style mozzarella is supplied by Brue Farm in Glastonbury. Graham and his team are passionate about provenance but also flavour and health. The long proving of sourdough takes several days, during which time the natural enzymes break the gluten down, which makes it more digestible as well as making it taste better. The menu is short, with seven types of pizza available, priced from £8 for the Margherita (mozzarella, basil and olive oil) to £12 for the Meat & Heat (mozzarella, Cobble Lane cured pepperoni and hot chilli honey). There are two “white” pizzas without tomato and these include the more unusual “It’s a Peach” pizza topped with mozzarella, peaches, red onion and goat’s curd. Starters include Sicilian Nocellara olives (£3) and you can also order a side salad of

leaves supplied by Edible Futures, a social enterprise smallholding in Bristol. We started with a sharing platter (£10) comprising homemade bread, pork rillettes, Cobble Lane pepperoni, aged Parmesan and Pennard Ridge goats’ cheese from Somerset. As for the pizza, we went for the ’Chovies (£10) topped with tomato, capers, anchovies and charred lacto-fermented peppers. The searing heat of the oven gave the pizza a puffy, risen crust and there were black flecks of charring on the base, which added a smokiness to it even though the oven was being powered by gas (the oven is adaptable so they can use wood if they choose to). The sourdough had a creamy, almost pancake-like flavour and the toppings provided punchy flavours. When it comes to dessert, there are just homemade ice creams and sorbets (£3 each) and the flavours change every week. When we visited there was rosemary ice cream, elderflower and yogurt sorbet or Wiper & True Milkshake Stout ice cream. We tried all three and our favourite was the delicately herby rosemary ice cream, closely followed by the malty, chocolate-like stout ice cream. The elderflower and yogurt sorbet had a pleasingly sour edge but we found it a notch too sweet.

BERTHA’S PIZZA Cumberland Rd, Bristol. Open Wed-Sun, from 5pm-10pm (the kitchen closes on Sundays at 9pm). Tel: 0117 8290003, www.berthas.co.uk

VERDICT: After starting out on the road as a mobile operation, the first bricks and mortar site for Bertha’s Pizza has been well worth the wait. It is already up there with the likes of Flour & Ash and Pi Shop as part of Bristol’s pantheon of pizza perfectionists.

WEEKEND 25

Malaysian meals made simple by Masterchef winner Recipe Ping Coombes is no stranger to whipping up feasts for crowds – but at home, she happily admits to cutting corners like the rest of us. The MasterChef champ tells Gemma Dunn why we should all be a bit more realistic in the kitchen.

asterChef champion Ping Coombes has spent the past two years since winning the 2014 series in somewhat of a whirlwind – as global ambassador for her native Malaysian cuisine; cooking up a storm up at food festivals around the world, and landing her debut cookery book, the bright and brilliant Malaysia: Recipes From A Family Kitchen. “No one really tells you what’s going to happen, because everything is so hush-hush,” she says of her crowning moment on the hit BBC cooking show. “The next day, I had interviews back-to-back and since then, I haven’t stopped.” Malaysian food – a fusion of Chinese, Malay and Indian tastes – has long been a hidden jewel of South-East Asian cuisine. Ping, who grew up in Malaysia’s vibrant city of Ipoh, dedicated her book to her family (on the first page a passage beneath a childhood photo of Ping and her mother reads: “Food has the power to create and evoke memories”). “As children, we would always sit down with my mum and dad to eat as a family, and that’s been ingrained in me,” she says. “Even though my husband [Andrew] and I may not eat with my daughter [Alexa], because she eats early, we’ll always sit with her to enjoy

the meal together, so that she understands mealtimes. We don’t have things like iPads [at the table], because we want her to enjoy the food as a family.” Yet while she remains inspired by her upbringing, Coombes says she was eager to adapt her collection of 100 recipes – including such delights as Chilli Crab and Caramel Pork Belly – to “fit in with life in the UK”. “I simplify a lot of the recipes but still retain the flavour,” she says, reeling off the major supermarkets that now stock shelves of Malaysian products. “People want to try a foreign cuisine, but to cook it, it needs to be simple and delicious. That’s the inspiration behind it; my travels, my childhood, and when I moved to the UK for university 17 years ago... It’s what I have developed in my kitchen and my mum’s kitchen.” Coombes still hosts supper clubs and pop-ups in the South West, where she lives with her family, and heads up her popular online hub Ping’s Pantry. “I’m doing more private cooking classes and consulting (she’s consultant chef for Chi Kitchen in Birmingham), and eventually we want to open our own restaurant,” she enthuses. “It’s good to be busy; I’m not complaining!”

PRAWN CHA KEOW TEOW / STIR-FRIED FLAT RICE NOODLES WITH PRAWNS SERVES 4 ■ 200g flat rice noodles ■ 2tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra for drizzling ■ 1 onion, thickly sliced ■ 1 garlic clove, finely chopped ■ 4-6 garlic chives, sliced into batons (or normal chives if you can’t find them) ■ 200g raw shelled king prawns ■ 2 free-range eggs, beaten ■ 2tbsp sweet soy sauce ■ 2tbsp light soy sauce ■ 1tbsp dark soy sauce (optional) ■ 180g bean sprouts ■ Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and cook the noodles for about ten minutes, or until soft but still with a bit of bite. Drain and drizzle with a little vegetable oil to stop them sticking. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat until smoking, then add the onion and stir

constantly. You want to char the onions but not burn them. Add the garlic and garlic chives. Stir for one minute, then add the cooked noodles. Let the mixture sit for a minute over the heat, untouched. Add the prawns to the wok or pan and stir-fry for one minute. Push everything to the edge of the wok furthest away from you and add the beaten eggs to the empty part of the pan. Stir, to cook the eggs a little, then gently fold the rest of the ingredients into the eggs until well incorporated. Add the sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, if using, and stir-fry well for 30 seconds. Finally, tip the bean sprouts into the wok and work them through the noodles. They cook very quickly and are ready when they have just softened. You want to keep their crunchiness. Taste and add more soy if necessary. Serve immediately.

from Friday, August 26, 2016

CIDERY BBQ RIBS SERVES 4-6 ■ 250g rib-eye steak, cut into thin strips ■ 1tsp Chinese fermented black beans (optional) ■ 4 celery sticks, trimmed ■ 2tbsp vegetable oil ■ 1tsp whole black peppercorns, slightly crushed ■ 2 garlic cloves, chopped ■ 1tbsp oyster sauce ■ 2tbsp water For the marinade: ■ 1 1/2tsp cornflour ■ 1tsp light soy sauce ■ Pinch of ground white pepper ■ Mix the ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl, add the beef and stir to coat, then set aside for 20 minutes. Soak the black beans, if using, in a bowl of cold water for five minutes, then drain. Using a vegetable peeler, peel a thin layer off the celery sticks, to ensure they’re not stringy, then cut them into four 1cm batons. Heat half the oil in wok or frying pan until smoking, then throw in the marinated beef and fry over a high heat for 30 seconds. Remove the beef and set aside. Turn down the heat to medium, add the remaining oil and the crushed peppercorns, drained black beans and garlic and fry for one minute (be careful not to burn). Add the celery batons and fry for two to three minutes, return the beef to the pan, add the oyster sauce and water. Stir and cook for a further 30 seconds and serve.

MESS MALAYSIA SERVES 4 For the coconut meringues: ■ 4 medium free-range egg whites ■ 100g caster sugar ■ 100g icing sugar, sifted ■ 70g unsweetened desiccated coconut For the compote: ■ 1 large ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into 1cm cubes ■ 2 star anise ■ 1/2 lemongrass stalk, bashed ■ Juice of 1 lime ■ 70g soft dark brown sugar For the whipped coconut cream: ■ 80ml coconut milk, chilled ■ 200ml double cream, chilled ■ 6tbsp unsweetened desiccated coconut to garnish

Malaysia: Recipes From A Family Kitchen by Ping Coombes is published by Orion, priced £25 (hardback)

■ Start with the meringue: whisk the egg whites in a spotlessly clean bowl until they form soft peaks, then whisk in half of the caster sugar, adding the rest gradually while continuously whisking, until the mixture is thick and glossy. Fold in the icing sugar and desiccated coconut. Preheat the oven to 110C/fan 90C/Gas 1/4. Line two baking trays with parchment. Spoon about 12 dollops of meringue, roughly the size of tennis balls, onto the trays with a metal spoon. Bake for one and a half hours. Put the cubed pineapple, star anise, bashed lemongrass and lime juice and sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, until the pineapple is soft but still holds its shape. Remove from the heat. Discard the lemongrass and star anise. Toast the desiccated coconut for the garnish in a dry frying pan for five to seven minutes, until golden. Whisk the coconut milk with the double cream until it forms soft peaks. Assemble the dessert in layers in bowls or small glass tumblers. Sprinkle with toasted desiccated coconut.

Classical THE GESUALDO SIX H O L Y T R I N I T Y C H U R C H , W E S T B U RY- O N - T RY M

irector Owain Park and his vocal consort The Gesualdo Six are no strangers to Holy Trinity Westburyon-Trym. They gave a concert there last summer, and for Park it’s almost a home from home – he was the church’s organ scholar before swapping the bench for that of Trinity College Cambridge’s handsome Metzler instrument. He formed the ensemble back in 2014 for a performance of the exquisitely tortured Tenebrae Responsories by the wife-murdering aristocrat and composer Carlo Gesualdo, and the group’s never looked back. Last season they were St John Smith Square’s “Young Artists”, and return to the premiere London concert venue as part of its prestigious Christmas Festival this December. They’re in elevated company. The revellers include The Cardinall’s Musick, The Tallis Scholars, and the traditional all-star Messiah from Stephen Layton’s Polyphony and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. The line-up isn’t exactly the same as last year. But it speaks volumes that one member has left to become the top line of The King’s Singers, and the other to join VOCES8. The programme too has a bit of a new look. Trademark Gesualdo, Sheppard, Byrd and Tallis keep renaissance polyphony at the heart of things, but Park and his team also curated a composers’ competition at St John’s during their residency, and the winning works were

premiered there in June. Joanna Ward’s For a Number of Coins will be repeated at Westbury alongside music by Joanna Marsh, Sarah Rimkus, and Park himself. There’s also a selection from Ligeti’s witty Nonsense Madrigals, and Jonathan Harvey’s The Anniversary, one of his last works – written to celebrate the 500th anniversary of St

��

John’s College Cambridge. To end, step forward a little something “on the lighter side”. With concerts in Monaco and Regensburg Tage Alter Musik in the pipeline, The Gesualdo Six is an ensemble going places in more senses than one. ■ Thursday, September 1. See listings for details.

Lots of laughs in true story of rags to rocket-fuelled riches Film Damon Smith reviews War Dogs starring Jonah Hill and Miles Teller, who become unlikely arms dealers in an incredible true story, and the horror sequel The Purge: Election Year, which sees the race for the White House turn bloody

ased on an article in Rolling Stone magazine and a subsequent book, War Dogs heavily dramatises the true story of two enterprising twentysomethings, who became multi-millionaires as arms dealers to the US military. Director Todd Phillips, mastermind of The Hangover films, and co-writer Jason Smilovic don’t let the truth get in the way of spinning an entertaining yarn. They embellish the jaw-dropping rags-toriches narrative with a hare-brained chase through the notorious Triangle of Death to the south of Baghdad, and some fizzing one-liners, which are used as chapter headings to bookmark each stage of the journey. Miles Teller and Jonah Hill, who garnered numerous awards for their eye-catching work in Whiplash and The Wolf Of Wall Street re-

spectively, are an incendiary double-act. They clamber over various obstacles thrown in their characters’ paths and brazenly wisecrack in the face of death. Phillips’ film opens with TV news footage from the war in Iraq in 2008. “I see 17,000 dollars,” explains massage therapist David Packouz (Teller). “That’s what it costs to outfit an American soldier.” Narrating his own extraordinary story, David introduces us to his wife Iz (Ana de Armas), with whom he hopes to raise a family by selling bed sheets to local care homes. His get-rich-quick scheme flops and David is reluctant to tell his spouse that the boxes of bedding cluttering up their apartment are not their golden ticket to a brighter future. At this low ebb, David meets his friend Efraim Diveroli (Hill), who has discovered a

website which lists contracts that the US military needs to be fulfilled. “When life kicked me, I stayed down. But Efraim? He kicked back,” gushes David, who agrees to become a partner in this shadowy yet highly lucrative business. The buddies tender for a massive munitions contract with the help of infamous dealer Henry Girard (Bradley Cooper) and underbid by 53 million dollars. David travels to Albania to fulfil the contract, aided by his driver Bashkim (JB Blanc), who knows which palms to grease. When David questions the morality of the business, which he keeps secret from Iz, Efraim immediately hits back. “This isn’t about being pro-war,” he counsels David. “It’s about being pro-money.” Phillips and Smilovic craft some big laughs

like when the buddies visit a weapons expo in Las Vegas and David pithily describes the event as “Comic-Con with grenades”.

WAR DOGS (15, 114 mins) Jonah Hill, Miles Teller, Ana de Armas, JB Blanc, Bradley Cooper. Director: Todd Phillips.

VERDICT: Bolstered by strong performances from the two leads, War Dogs is an engrossing and frequently uproarious comedy of errors.

Score ★★★✩✩

his is the third instalment of James DeMonaco’s horror series, set in a dystopian America which has legalised murder for 12 hours every March to sate the population’s bloodlust and reduce crime levels for the rest of the year. The original film, released in 2013, was a guilty pleasure fusing nail-biting tension with explosions of shocking violence. A gruesome follow-up, The Purge Anarchy, fell short of expectations and now The Purge: Election Year polls a similarly lukewarm response by attempting to skewer the American political establishment. Eighteen years after her entire family was slaughtered on Purge night, Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell) is poised to narrowly win the 2022 Presidential election by campaigning on a promise to end the annual cull. Her rival, Minister Edwidge Owens (Kyle Secor), is a firm believer in the Purge and has the full backing of the New Founding Fathers (NFF), the shadowy political hierarchy led by Caleb Warrens (Raymond J Barry). These men and women in tailored suits are distressed by the possibility of Roan winning over the electorate and they plot to eliminate her. “We are going to use this year’s Purge to

do some spring cleaning gentlemen!” snarls Warrens, who masterminds a scheme to undermine the security measures put in place by the Senator’s trusted bodyguard and protector, Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo). Meanwhile, as the 7pm siren to signal the start of the Purge approaches, hard-working shop owner Joe Dickson (Mykelti Williamson) and his assistant Marcos (Joseph Julian Soria) have an ill-fated run-in with two thieving schoolgirls (Brittany Mirabile, Juani Feliz) that they might regret when the blood-letting begins in earnest. A potentially delicious subplot – the influx of murder tourists, who travel to America on Purge night to commit unspeakable crimes that are forbidden in their own countries – is undernourished and goes nowhere. Williamson provides comic relief to dissipate tension, almost putting a bullet in the head of one friend, who creeps up on him. “Good Lord! It’s Purge night. You don’t sneak up on black people!” he shrieks. The Purge: Election Year is one hack ’n’ slash too far for DeMonaco’s neat premise. Plotting is flimsy and characters are thinly sketched, but fans of earlier films will get their kicks from the gory set pieces.

So much to learn – and that goes for parents too School From missing PE kits and the joy of homework to epic fall-outs with friends and last-minute fancy dress days, starting school is a minefield. Here are some top tips to help get you prepared.

THE UNIFORM CHALLENGE

How difficult can purchasing a few pairs of grey trousers/skirts and some shirts be? Well, shopping for uniform is not as, errr, uniform, as the name suggests. Sizes vary from shop to shop. A school might allow girls to wear trousers, skirts or pinafores, boys trousers or shorts, and there can be the option of different colours or styles of cardigans and sweaters. Then there are decisions about whether to buy in an official uniform outfitters or head to the supermarket, shop early while there’s plenty of stock, or wait in case of any last-minute growth spurts... Most parents agree that the best thing to do is to get the logo-ed uniform plus some supermarket spares. And remember that uniform is still available after September, so if you have under-bought you will be able to order more.

LABEL EVERYTHING Who knew there was a black hole at school where cardigans, socks, PE kits and all sorts of other paraphernalia disappear into? Who knew that children could go to school in one outfit and return wearing another child’s jumper, shoes and even tights and knickers? Who knew those Lelli Kelly shoes she begged you for and you finally gave into buying would vanish without trace in less than a month? For any chance of being reunited with your (expensive) kit, it’s essential that you label EVERYTHING. But be prepared that some things will remain in that black hole never to be seen again.

THE EMAILS From September, your e-mail inbox will look like crunch time in the most complicated pro-

ject in history. You’ll have e-mails about the school’s policy on puddings, the infestation of nits, the non-uniform days, the awards ceremonies, the ‘Dress As Your Favourite Marsupial Day’, the suspected case of Dengue Fever, the ruinously expensive day trip to the pencil museum…

READING You know your A, B, C, right? Well, actually you don’t. Everything you learnt at school was tosh and the parallel world of Phonics has been invented to make you look like an illiterate numpty.

DRESS-UP DAYS There you were feeling all smug about your child’s Spiderman/Belle/Iron Man/Elsa/ Gruffalo dress-ups, but now – often overnight – you have to somehow costume ancient Greeks, Aztecs (not to be confused with Mayans), working class Victorians and characters from obscure children’s books. You’ll also need a T-shirt in every colour for ‘Dress in red/yellow/pink/green day’, as well as a spotted one for spots day and a striped one for stripes day... you get the idea. And whatever you do, don’t be half-hearted or (heaven forbid) completely forget – it will result in an instant emotional melt-down for your little one from which your relationship with them will be forever scarred.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TODAY?

Who knew that you would discover absolutely nothing about your child’s day at school? “What did you do today, darling?” will be answered by “I don’t know” or “I can’t re-

member”. You were spoilt by the minute-byminute run-down you used to get from your child’s key worker at nursery. Now everything will be shrouded in secrecy and you’ll have to turn Columbo in order to piece together the mystery from small snippets of information shared with other parents at drop-off the next morning.

SIGNING YOUR LIFE AWAY Their school satchel will come home with sheafs of permission slips about school trips, dentist visits, sun protection and so forth. Before you know it you’re sending your child on an exchange trip to Azerbaijan, you’ve agreed to be on the board of governors and man the coconut shy at the next fete!

THE FRIENDSHIPS Friendships seemed so much easier during those golden pre-school days when all you had to do was arrange the odd play-date with your friend’s adorable children. Now there’s an intricate web of social intrigue where you have to keep tabs on who’s friends with who, who stole their favourite pencil/rubber/hair bauble/conker, who was (and wasn’t) invited to whose party…

THE BEST DAYS OF THEIR LIVES

As well as your children making new (and potentially life-long) friendships, your own social life will get a shot in the arm. You’ll see your children have so much fun, experience the wonder of learning, gain skills which took hard graft to master, develop new interests and aspirations and ultimately grow into lovely, rounded little people.

How to smooth the move up to big school

Back to school Moving up from primary to secondary school can be a scary time for children and parents, but there are plenty of things you can do to ease the transition, says learning expert Carrie Starbuck. Here are her top tips for starting big school.

Get excited! Change is scary, but exciting too. Focus on the positives so when your child walks into school, they are confident and ready for their next chapter. “It’s a very big leap for children and parents alike,” says Carrie, a former teacher and managing director for Learning Performance Training. “Putting a positive slant on things will build the child’s confidence. Parents can say things like, ‘This is a fresh start, it’s really exciting, you’re going to meet new people...’ “We want students to be resilient and life is full of changes, so if they react positively to a change, then that transition will be easier.”

Have the school timetable in a prominent place at home, so everyone can see what they have to prepare for each day. Besides moving from GCSEs to A-Levels, the leap from primary to secondary school is one of the biggest a child will face in their

education, says Carrie. “They are suddenly expected to become quite independent learners. When you’re at primary school, you’re supported a lot by the teacher. When you get to secondary school, you have to manage your time well, you’ve got to remember to take the right books on the right day.” Parents can help their children become independent learners by talking them through what they’re going to being doing when. “Have the school timetable up on the fridge or somewhere really prominent and take time to help prepare their bag the night before. The first few weeks do this with the kids, but after a few weeks you need to encourage them to do this themselves.” A new school bag will help children get excited about being organised, but shouldn’t cost the earth. “A new bag, an organiser, nice coloured pens, all of that definitely helps,” says Starbuck, who’s also a school governor. “But it’s not the end of the world if you can’t afford it. What’s important is the child has confidence – they don’t need a bag for that.”

Help with time management by using an A, B, C system for homework. A – urgent, B – have a few days, C – a week or so. Use the diary planner provided by the school to help your child prioritise their schoolwork. “It’s usually really simple, they’re given a timetable and a diary. When you ask, ‘Have you got any homework tonight?’ or, ‘What do you have to do tomorrow?’ and they might not know or want to tell you, just double-check in the diary; it’s used as a communication tool between parents and staff.”

Build up a good relationship with your child’s form tutor. “Form tutors are well versed in the transition and they’re there to support your child,” says Carrie. “They care about the children and they want them to do well. “Work together with the form tutor in particular, so if there any issues or concerns that come up further down the line, you have somebody to go to, and so does the child.”

Sun, sea, sand and sensational seafood

The Beach at Bude terrace, bedroom left and food right

St Tudy Inn

Travel Mark Taylor enjoys the sea air, coastal scenery and oustanding local food during a family break to the Cornish town of Bude

he escalating cost of post-Brexit holidays in Europe and the falling value of the pound abroad has seen an increase in “staycations”, which must be music to the ears and cash tills of businesses in traditional coastal resorts like Bude. Bude has been a popular seaside resort since Victorian times and whilst it might not guarantee the climate or glamour of its continental cousins, it offers just about everything else you could possibly want for a memorable family holiday. For starters, the scenery around the award-winning beaches of the North Cornwall coast is breathtaking. The views are best enjoyed by walking along the area’s many cliff-top coastal paths, which attract as many birdwatchers as walkers.

56 DO IT ● ● ● ● ●

Bude is also well known for its watersports, particularly surfing, and the town’s main shopping area is dotted with shops selling wetsuits and surfboards. During our two-day stay, we lost count of the number of vintage VW camper vans arriving in town with colourful surfboards on their roof-racks. As well as being a great base for surfers, Bude is ideal for families with small children who want to spend their time on the numerous sandy beaches, many of which boast plenty of crab-filled rock pools. There is also the 1930s-built Bude sea pool at Summerleaze Beach, which is free and which attracts over 60,000 visitors each year. The sea pool was only a five-minute walk from our hotel, the appropriately named The Beach at Bude. Nine of the 16 bedrooms at this smart,

from Friday, August 26, 2016

contemporary hotel overlook Summerleaze Beach and it proudly reminds guests that Bude was awarded “best coastal resort in the UK” at the British Travel Awards 2015. Many of the hotel’s guests travel from Bristol, Bath and Exeter for weekend breaks and the restaurant – complete with lovely terrace overlooking the beach – is presided over by head chef Joe Simmonds, who trained at the Michelin-starred Bath Priory Hotel. Our family-sized room on the ground floor had its own small and sunny terrace, which was a real bonus on the warm and sunny days we stayed there. The luxurious room’s oatmeal carpets and blue, yellow and white New England seaside look mirrored the sky and beach we could see from the terrace and double glazing meant that

not even the screechiest seagull could disturb our sea air-induced sleep. We ate in the hotel’s restaurant on the first evening and the food was excellent. The Beach’s position means that local fish and seafood make plenty of appearances on the menu and stand out dishes included the pan-roasted stone bass with Cornish crab rosti, braised, poached and grilled leeks, tomatoes and sauce vierge, and the poached brill with spiced monkfish, mussels, prawns, brown shrimp, summer vegetables and Bloody Mary broth. And if fish isn’t really your thing, there are also steaks, burgers and vegetarian options. On our second day, we headed further down the coast to visit two of the region’s best-known National Trust spots – Boscastle and Tintagel. At Tintagel, it’s well worth visiting the

slate-roofed Old Post Office – a 14th century building reputed to be one of the oldest houses in Cornwall – before climbing up to the ruins of Tintagel Castle with its connections to the legend of King Arthur and stunning views of the Atlantic swirling below. It’s an area with evidence of Dark Age settlements, mysterious tunnels and the remains of medieval gardens. At low tide, head down to the beach and you will find Merlin’s Cave, where his face is carved into the rocks. Boscastle is more recently famous for the devastating floods of 2004, when an estimated 440 million gallons of water swept through the picturesque harbour town beneath the towering cliffs after heavy rainfall led to the bursting of river banks. Twelve years on and the area has been rebuilt

and it’s a popular tourist attraction with a Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, as well as fantastic walks in the wooded Valency Valley. When it comes to lunch, there is a National Trust café at Boscastle but we grabbed takeaway crab and lobster sandwiches from a small shop nearby. The crab and lobster is caught by the owners who have their own boat moored in the harbour. It doesn’t get fresher than that. Tired and hungry after a day walking around the windy headland, we headed inland for dinner and visited St Tudy Inn in the picture postcard village of the same name. St Tudy is half an hour’s drive from Bude and it is owned by chef Emily Scott who took on the pub as a going concern at the end of 2014. Within a few months, Emily had turned the place around and it made it into the “ones to watch” category at the Top 50 Gastropub Awards. Prior to opening St Tudy Inn, she had successfully run The Harbour Restaurant in Port Isaac, which she sold to chef Nathan Outlaw in 2013. Emily’s simple philosophy is to source from the very best local suppliers, all of which are listed on the menu. Cornish produce dominates the menu and prices are reasonable considering the quality of the ingredients and also the location, with main courses starting at £10 at lunch and £12 at supper. The menu takes in pub classics such as steak and kidney pies, burgers and fish and chips – the Doom Bar-battered gurnard, rustic chips, tartar sauce and peas. Highlights of our enjoyable supper included scallops, garlic, thyme, lemon and kitchen leaves; Porthilly mussels, shallots, white wine and cream; and Moorland crossbred sirloin, chips, rocket, Parmesan and tarragon mayo, washed down with beer from the Padstow Brewing Company. Traditional but elegantly furnished, the St Tudy Inn oozes atmosphere in the convivial bar and the smart restaurant, with a happy mix of Cornwall visitors and locals. You may even spot the odd celebrity in there as a number of famous faces live nearby, including pop star and actor Will Young, who lives on Bodmin Moor. On the final day, my daughter and I took an early morning stroll along the beautiful beach at nearby Widemouth Bay, with coves and inlets once used by the smugglers who used to frequent this rugged coastline. With the sound of waves lapping on the beach and the sun peeking through the clouds, we returned to the hotel check-out with a heavy heart.

FACTFILE ■ Rooms at The Beach at Bude are from £125 in low season or £150 in high season (both room only). For details, go to: www.thebeachatbude.co.uk. To book a meal at St Tudy Inn, call 01208 850 656 or visit www.sttudyinn.com.

Accommodation is spread across three floors and highlights include a big kitchen/ diner/family room with central island. Porcelanosa suites adorn the downstairs cloakroom, bathroom and en suite, all the internal doors are oak and the landscaped back garden includes a smart summer house. At the front, a good first impression is created by a neat brick-paved driveway big enough to accommodate three cars. Behind the front door is a hallway with cupboard, and then the living room – a big space with a bay

Double glazed doors open from here into the large kitchen room at the rear, which has an extensive range of oak units with solid oak work tops and an island topped with granite that doubles as a breakfast bar. There are cupboards under the island and not one, but two fridges. Elsewhere is an integrated washing machine, dishwasher, freezer and wine chiller. Beyond the kitchen area is room for a family-sized table and chairs, while the space can be enlarged further during the warmer months by throwing open tri-folding doors leading out to the deck in the garden. When it’s cold, under-floor heating can be switched on beneath the porcelain tiled floor.

Be bold and brave - with wallpaper Interiors Wallpaper is sometimes overlooked as a means of creating colour and atmosphere, says Bristol interior designer Zoe Hewett. Here’s her best advice for perfect papering.

f you really want to create an impression, often it is best to throw caution to the wind with wallpaper; to go all out and do every wall to complete the look. It’s a shame, however, that wallpaper is frequently used to mask bumpy imperfections on walls and is sometimes associated with dreary function only, its potential to enliven and even wow, forgotten. Many of us have become more conservative in our choices, sticking to plain walls in pale neutrals. In art college, students are encouraged to “dirty” their canvasses with a wash before painting a single “real” stroke, to avoid being intimidated by the crisp, clean, white canvas. With this in mind, it seems that the popular decision among homeowners to first paint everything white with a view to decorating properly later on as counter productive. All too often the fear of starting a “feature” project and of making mistakes prevents people from creating a home they would really enjoy. Pattern and colour are important components for creating happy places, but working out how to pull off the look without being overwhelmed by a busy print is a legitimate worry. Decorating can get expensive and disruptive, and no one wants to do it twice. The trick to getting it right is to balance the feature wall with the other walls, by making sure the difference in hue or colour intensity and saturation isn’t too contrasting. A bold print on one wall against three in white can be too stark. For a room that is to remain largely white, choose a patterned paper that also contains a lot of white. To further balance the scheme, repeat the pattern or colours of the feature wall in other aspects of the room, such as soft furnishings or home accessories. It doesn’t have to match exactly, merely echo. There are plenty of sophisticated wallpapers with a contemporary feel, and there is a good choice of mural panels too, as an alternative to rolls of endlessly repeating patterned paper. Murals can also be small, gracing just a corner or a central patch. They are often neater than multiple fiddly decal stickers that can so easily be picked and peeled off by

children and pets. This is the best option for adding a certain amount of interest on a wall without going the whole hog. Scale, too, is a much under-used device in the decorator’s toolbox, and using wallpaper or mural panels provides the perfect chance to play with it, without impinging on the footprint of your pad with cumbersome furniture or oversized sculptures, fabulous as that may be. One Bristol designer going large is wallpaper-obsessive Anna Hill. Her graphic style uses a colourful and fresh palette, often with animal and tropical inspiration – a world away from frumpy florals! Helpfully, Anna often depicts furniture options against her designs to convey the scale and visualise how it might look in situ. Due to launch her collection, which includes wallpaper and single panels, at the prestigious design event, Tent London, later this month, I think Anna is set for big things, and not just on the wall. ■ Zoe Hewett operates from Horfield, Bristol.

JENNA COLEMAN STARS AS THE YOUNG VICTORIA X FACTOR IS BACK PLUS SEVEN-DAY TV LISTINGS

The vulnerability and power of young Victoria Television Already lamenting the impending end of summer? Let ITV’s lavish new costume drama soften the blow. Kate Whiting reveals why Victoria is set to reign on the small screen.

new season of telly is about to explode onto our screens – and the sparkliest jewel in the crown is ITV’s sumptuous eight-part costume drama, Victoria. Starring Doctor Who’s Jenna Coleman in her first lead role since jumping out of the Tardis, it’s an instantly engaging coming-of-age tale, revealing the passionate, strong-willed teenager who became Britain’s longest-reigning monarch (until our current Queen, Elizabeth II, claimed the record last year, of course). Victoria, whose first name was really Alexandrina, became Queen in 1837, when her uncle, King William IV, died. Having grown up largely in isolation in Kensington Palace, sleeping in the same room as her mother and not even walking downstairs unaccompanied, her life changed overnight. “We are going to really see her grow into the Victoria that everyone knows,” says Lancashireborn Coleman, whose youthful looks (she turned 30 in April) and diminutive stature (two inches taller than the 5ft Queen) made her perfect for the part. Besides Coleman, here are some other reasons to make this your new favourite show.

The spine tingles All good costume dramas have those moments when shivers deliciously tingle along your arms and up your spine – Darcy’s wade into the lake in Pride And Prejudice set the bar high in 1995 – and Victoria has them in spades. When the young Queen steps out onto the balcony at Kensington Palace to wave to her subjects for the first time; the fairytale moment when she meets the dashing Grand Duke at the coronation ball – and he kneels to kiss her hand and then sweeps her off to dance, and, later in the series, when she falls for Prince Albert.

The palace Having been pretty much confined to one house (albeit a palace) all her life, Victoria is

64 S E E I T ● ● ● ● ●

like a child in a sweet shop when she moves her household to Buckingham Palace – and runs girlishly from room to room, declaring: “This will do quite well!” The CGI recreation of the exterior as it would have been in the early 1800s, surrounded by greenery, is breathtaking, and the majestic interiors were built in a former RAF hangar in Yorkshire. Chandeliers were made in the Czech Republic, furniture in Malaysia, and some 12,000 candles were burned during filming, which also required 3,500 square feet of gold leaf. Filming also took place at Harewood House, Castle Howard and Raby Castle.

The Prime Minister The dashing Rufus Sewell plays Lord Melbourne, Queen Victoria’s first Prime Minister, who she sees as a father figure and who becomes a trusted advisor for the monarch. So close do they become, she’s soon referring to him as Lord M, while the gossip-mongers call her “Mrs Melbourne”. He’s equally enthralled by her impulsiveness. “I never knew anything about her relationship with Lord M,” says Coleman. “They had this incredibly unique relationship, and that’s a lot of what we explore in the first series. It became incredibly blurred and also obsessive.”

The love story While Lord M may be Victoria’s first love, her true love is Albert, who she meets in episode four. They bond over a shared passion for music, which meant Coleman and Tom Hughes, who plays Albert, had to learn to play Beethoven. “When Victoria and Albert play together, they are able to communicate in that moment because their reticence is put to one side, and it is from that shared rhythm and vulnerability that their love can grow,” says Chester-born Hughes, 30. Albert wrote music for Victoria too.

The animals Coleman also had to learn to ride for the role, which sees Victoria “ride out” with Lord M most mornings. There are horses pulling carriages, fairytale style, and then there’s “Dash”, Queen Victoria’s gorgeous spaniel, who was a constant companion. He sleeps in her bed, is there for a cuddle when she learns her uncle has died, and she even gives the beloved pooch a bath after her coronation. Dash was played by Tori, who also appeared in the 2009 film The Young Victoria.

The feistiness “If I require advice, I will ask for it,” Victoria tells her mother’s domineering advisor Sir John Conroy in the first episode, as he’s trying to wangle the job of private secretary. She’s just been given the keys to the kingdom, and won’t let anyone take them away from her. “She was quite child-like in lots of ways, yet very wise and savvy and unbelievably strong, which is the thing that struck me most about her,” says Coleman, who read Queen Victoria’s diaries and sketchbook in preparation for the part. “She defied her mother, defied everybody. She was inexperienced in lots of ways, yet fiercely knew her own mind, it’s extraordinary.”

The upstairs-downstairs It’s not only upstairs where political jostling for position is rife. One of Victoria’s first acts is to appoint her life-long governess Lehzen as head of the house, who appoints a mysterious assistant dresser, Skerrett, which annoys the Queen’s senior dresser Mrs Jenkins, played by Torchwood’s Eve Myles. “Upstairs, she’s part of the furniture, her eyes and ears are always open, but downstairs she’s like a firework; she’s two different characters,” says Welsh actress Myles, 38. “She rubs people up the wrong way all the time because it’s entertaining. She’s a spinster and she’s got her limits – she’s OK to cross [them], but if anyone else dares to, they get bollocked.”

The coronation A spine-tingler all of its own, the coronation was filmed in Beverley Minster, and although it’s almost a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it part of the first episode, the vision of Coleman in a wobbly crown with her long ermine cloak is striking, and perfectly captures the vulnerability and power of the young Victoria. ■ Victoria starts on ITV on Sunday, August 28.

Meanwhile, a young agent finds himself caught in the middle of one of his landlords and a tenant who owes over £3,600 in rent arrears.

When the victim of an attack is found in the woods, the team wonders whether it is random or related to the location, but Banks has a theory of his own.
