Don’t blame me if they turn out to be a frog/frogess, and don’t worry, it’s still a kiss, after all. Love is all around, Pisces. Take your pick of the starsigns, but remember they all have their faults, so it depends what you can bear. I recommend a Sagittarian. SCORPIO (OCT 23–NOV 21) ARIES (MAR 21–APR 20) CANCER (JUNE 22–JULY 22) You just want the truth this week, no subliminal starry message to go to Baker Street. OK, just wait for it. You will be loved again. That’s the future for Aries. The love of your life will make their appearance this week. Make them welcome, offer them a nice cuppa, a night out, and the mother of all snogs at midnight. TAURUS (APR 21–MAY 21) LEO (JULY 23–AUG 22) You will find the person of your dreams, and you won’t need to attend any chip dances to find them. Just look up, take your glasses off and there they’ll be. Your secret admirer is so secret they don’t know it yet, but a breakthrough this week will mean they put on their rose-tinted specs and declare a romantic interest. GEMINI (MAY 22–JUNE 21) VIRGO (AUG 23–SEP 22) Your heart’s desire is close by. Close your eyes, count to three and they’ll appear. Make sure you’re in the proper environment before you try this. Any old chippy won’t do. Romance has returned to the zodiac and all the starsigns are in the mood for love. You’ll make sweet music with the one you care for, a virtuoso solo concert. 4 latest 7 Someone will call you ‘darling’ this week. Try and concentrate on your work and don’t get too excited. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22–DEC 20) Someone will make you blush deeply this week and make your heart pound. Then you’ll put down the Mills and Boon and go back to your desk. Buy the CD Bardsley’s, country music with c-hip s-hop beats at Bardsley’s and Borders NOW! CAPRICORN (DEC 21–JAN 19) The love of your life will pop up this week. You have two choices, impress them with a meal at Bardsley’s and get lucky, or not get lucky. AQUARIUS (JAN 20–FEB 19) Love is in the air, especially for Aquarians. Kissing an expectant Libran is on the cards. Make sure to eat lots of garlic first.

(Work out for yourself what percentage of my previous columns this means I have lied to you in). The usual responses I get to this confession are: ‘What do you do all day?’ ‘What do you talk about all day?’ ‘Yes, whatever, Miss Glass – that’s what everyone says. If you don’t buy a TV licence now you’ll get a £1,000 fine and risk a jail sentence.’ And once: ‘Oh my God, you’re like a child raised by wolves.’ I seem to spend my life staring blankly into conversations which start ‘Did you see…’, to which the answer will always be ‘No’. And trying to find original ways to make small talk, when I’ve put a dead-end sign up at most convenient avenues. When you don’t watch telly, most people don’t like you. Like non-smokers and teetotallers, the mere confession of our abstinence is an anathema to the hearer. But I guess that’s fair enough. Because although I usually try and explain to people that the reason I don’t watch telly is because I’m always so busy, actually that’s not true. It’s because I’m a culture snob. Oh, and a show-off. And I quickly discovered that, amongst other culture snobs, not watching telly carries more kudos than having read the entire works of Dostoyevsky. In Russian. Honestly, you should try it at parties. One ‘I don’t watch telly,’ and all the boys in glasses within a 50-metre radius start to look at you a bit funny. Sexy birthday Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Nua, happy birthday to you. Ooo, Nua’s having a birthday, and it’s my favourite kind of birthday – the kind where we all get something for free. This October Brighton’s favourite sexy shop turns one year old and to celebrate owners Katherine and Jeremy are inviting all patrons to join in the celebration. Purchase something at Nua during their birthday weekend (Friday 6 October – Sunday 8 October) and you’ll be treated to a special goody bag and a piece of birthday cake.

Every man I have met is convinced he’ll be the one to turn me” Being a non-telly-watcher is a bit like being a lesbian. Every man I meet is convinced he’ll be the one to turn me. As though if only I met the right programme I could be convinced. They try and seduce me, with dirty talk about Britain’s Next Top Model and whispering sweet nothings about the new 24. Hmm, if only I knew what 24 was. With my telly cherry sitting temptingly waiting to be popped, it was only a matter of time before someone lured me into giving it up. Actually, I think I was asking for it. As always with these things, it finally happened after one too many drinks and a heavy night’s clubbing when I woke up in a friend’s bed. Too weak to protest, I found myself confronted with The X-Factor and that, dear reader, was the beginning of the end. Ooo, The X-Factor. It was love at first sight. Or first sound. A trip to the opera was never nearly so exciting – why the hell had nobody told me? The X-Factor is like the aural equivalent of eating a pack of Revels – holding out through as many oranges as it takes until finally you get a peanut. And God, do I love it. I called my friend and told her the good news: “I’ve finally discovered television! I’m never leaving the house again!” “Whatever next?” she asked, sarcastic as always. “Mobiles? Electricity? The wheel, perhaps?” Operatic endeavour A girl of eclectic tastes, I can move swiftly from sex shops to Strauss. I’ve always thought that if you’ve been living in Brighton for more than a year and still haven’t done The Royal Pavilion, the Pussy Cat Club, the Candy Bar and Glyndebourne, then you may as well call it a day and move to Eastbourne. Glyndebourne’s latest tour kicks off in the next fortnight and any of you who haven’t been, it’s damn well time you got yourself there. OK, the mere thought of opera might be enough to make you yawn your heart out but, trust me, the Glyndebourne experience is one of those once-in-a-lifetime things. Even the grounds alone are worth the visit. Glyndebourne’s new season includes performances of The Turn Of The Screw, Così Fan Tutte and Die Fledermaus.

Since I had my very first anxiety attack, and all through the time when I couldn’t leave the house, and all those times when I had to run home from town and curl up on the sofa I have told myself I will be ready and better enough to go to Bestival. And when the day arrived I felt horrible – I was so nervous I couldn’t see straight – but I had promised myself as well as my boyfriend and my family that I would make it and, God damn it, I’d have a good time too. So with the world and its mother packed into a bag twice the size of me, I declared myself OK to go. “I promised myself, my boyfriend and my family I would go and, God damn it, have a good time too” Having learnt to crochet only two days before departure I packed as much wool as I could without looking like some crazy knitting lady and I will crochet the most misshapen scarf this world has ever seen. I also have a number of other things with me to keep my mind occupied and therefore stop me thinking, which will stop an attack if there was going to be one. To tell you the truth all the things I have packed just prove my belief that I am a premature old lady. I have three crossword books, a cheesy romantic novel and my crochet needle. What in the world can go wrong with all that packed into my bag? All I need is a bunch of cats and I am that old lady I always saw myself becoming! Being determined not to let this problem beat me, I am sucking it up and I will make it through. It’s all very well saying that – and I do have to say it to myself quite a lot – but part of me still feels weak. So I have to keep pushing myself to do things I don’t want to do in the hope it will make me stronger and more capable of tackling the world once more. I never thought I’d ever be one of those people who has trouble doing the most basic things but evidently I am and it’s heartbreaking. I always believed I could take on the world and even if I didn’t always win I’d bloody well fight it out. And now it’s all changed. I no longer believe I can do that. I have to talk to myself for half an hour before I can go to the supermarket – let alone anywhere else. So Bestival is a huge test for me – I have to think positive the whole time which is hard because even before I went weird I’ve always been pessimistic. I have to make sure I get enough sleep because tiredness can make attacks happen more easily. I have to make sure I eat because otherwise I’ll disappear and I have to make sure I have a good time too. Which out of all the things I have to do should be the easiest but I somehow think it’s going to be the hardest. I will get through it – I will get through it – I will get through it – and as long as I keep telling myself this I should be fine – shouldn’t I? So that’s it – I’m going and no one can stop me – not even if they tried. Does any anyone want to try? Despite his fashion faux pas Damian Frizzell still gets the foxy femme There’s nothing like hearing your own name called out in the street to jolt you out of your daydreams. “Damian” (say it an East European accent). Oh dear God, I remember thinking to myself – because only God has the sense of humour and power to ensure you only ever bump into someone in the street at the most inappropriate times. I knew who it was immediately. Sofia, an über cool, über foxy Lithuanian girl who I’d met early this summer. While at any other time I might have relished the prospect of seeing her, today was definitely not that day. You see talking to the opposite sex can be a daunting prospect when you’re not in a confident frame of mind. While the core of being confident is almost certainly happiness in yourself, the outer crust, the protective shell, is more often than not simply down to what you’re wearing. Think about it. When you’re looking good you’re feeling good. There’s nothing like taking that final glimpse in the hall mirror, before you leave the house, and thinking to yourself: ‘I’m looking hot!’ “Outer confidence is down to what you’re wearing. When you look good you feel good” The older I’ve got the more comfortable I’ve become with my own sense of style, so that now I’m one of the few guys who loves shopping. I pity my fellow men who don’t, because not only are they missing out on the pleasure that only a new pair of jeans can bring, they’re also opening themselves up to an even worse fate in the future: being dressed by their better half. You just have to walk around the town centre on a weekend afternoon to see hordes of hen-pecked boyfriends and husbands trailing half a step behind their wives and girlfriends, resigned to their fate – as a giant Ken doll at the mercy of her imaginings of how she’d like him to look. It’s a depressing sight, which is why I try and avoid central Brighton on a Saturday. Any missions into the shopping precincts are only made because a) I have to buy something to wear that night, or b) I need something to eat, immediately. It was for the latter reason that I found myself skulking down Western Road, searching for that something that would quench my hangover-induced hunger. Leaving the house in ill-fitting combat trousers, with a dodgy looking stain on the crotch area (it was pasta sauce, I swear), and a scruffy T-shirt was a gamble, but I was hoping the dark glasses might shield my identity from anyone who knew me. No such luck. Turning to face Sofia, I decided to keep on my shades as a last line of defence against my obvious embarrassment. Could I look any worse? “Hi,” I mumbled. “How are you?” “Very good,” she cooed back in her sexy accent. “I really like your shorts. You always dress so cool!” It seems that my ‘look’ was still considered hot in the former Eastern Bloc. After that it was plain sailing, and I’m taking her out next week. And today’s lesson? Somewhere in the world, you’re always in fashion.

Well what a week I’ve had – seven days of complete mayhem in fact! You may or may not have read about graffiti artist Banksy in the press, but I was very fortunate to work on his first solo US show in Los Angeles two weeks ago. Accompanying me on the trip was colleague Jackie and we were, how can I put it mildly, ‘bloody excited’ about handling all the media coverage for the show – entitled Barely Legal. We knew the trip was going to be good as on arrival at Heathrow Terminal 3’s Virgin Atlantic check-in, our Premium Economy tickets were duly ripped up and upgraded to Upper Class. This was to be the start of an amazing seven days. Here comes Kelly! Like a Virgin: Kelly travels transatlantic Even sitting in the fantastic Virgin Clubhouse waiting to board we watched as Kelly Osbourne sauntered in followed by obligatory film crew and several PRs and assistants. I spotted my friend Jan Donovan (top press person for Virgin Atlantic), and asked what was going on – she informed me that Kelly was making a new show called Turning Japanese and had chosen a Virgin flight to Tokyo for part of the show. Idol wannabes Before boarding we managed to get a Hollywood pedicure and massage to put us in the ‘zone’ for the ten-hour flight – the flat bed helped, as did the on-board treatments and amazing service. Jackie and I were sitting opposite some US finalists for the new series of American Idol who were checking out their own press in People magazine – very amusing. Drinkies with Colin and Orlando On arrival at LAX we pushed in front of the British actor David Suchet in the taxi queue and made our way to the Roosevelt Hotel, which is on Hollywood Boulevard (opposite the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theatre). We read up about the hotel on the plane as Mel B is rumoured to be marrying new beau Eddie Murphy there in two weeks. We could see why – the hotel, which boasts a swimming pool painted by David Hockney, is a firm favourite with the A-list of LA. Put it this way, just in the poolside bar we drank next to Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom one night! Colin was also staying at the hotel and of course we asked him to come along to the Banksy private view but he was looking after his son that night, but it didn’t really matter as the guest list was looking pretty good anyway! No white elephants here! Jackie and I then got stuck in to letting all the US media know of the event and – yes we had an ace up our sleeve – the fact that not only was this Banksy’s first US solo show but it featured a live elephant. This came as a surprise to most of the media who turned up to our press call – BBC News At Ten were quite shocked to say the least! After all the flashbulbs had popped it was then our job to make sure that all the best pictures were circulated, not only in the US but around the globe – our mobile phones were so hot that day! It was quite surreal calling news desks standing next to a painted elephant I can tell you. Trunk call: Jo with Banksy’s support act Make sure you see next week for Jo meeting Brad, Angelina, Keanu and many, many more...

Years of bleaching, straightening and home layering have taken their toll on my tresses. So, last week I decided it was time to take some drastic action and get some expert advice. Luckily, I had heard that Enzo was the place to do it. Two elements make Enzo so successful at what they do: their use of the right products and the attention they pay to people. Enzo only use the very best products available, employ the most talented staff and treat every customer with individual care. I first heard about the salon through a friend of mine, who had been there to have her hair coloured and left raving about how, afterwards, it was in better condition than before. The secret to such success is that, unlike some salons, which put style over substance, the team at Enzo understands that what you put in affects what you get out. As a result they remain committed to only ever using the leading products in both their hair and beauty salon. As a result Enzo are able to create gorgeously glamourous cuts and colours, while doing so in a way designed to keep hair healthy and manageable. Meanwhile their spa treatments combine cutting edge technology with luxury treatments to brilliant effect. I couldn’t wait to give it a try! I quickly booked myself in for a total hair restyle (cut and colour) and a Guinot facial. I might never have been to Enzo Hair and Beauty Salon before, but five minutes after I had arrived I already felt like a regular. Owner Bill Stewart’s seven-strong team are more like family than colleagues; buzzing around the salon making sure everyone is well looked after. They eagerly sat me down for a styling chat, a cup of tea and one of their fabulous homemade cookies. I started my day with a Guinot Hydradermie facial, a complete threestep facial treatment, with the first two steps including ionisation and high frequency oxygenation. I was, admittedly, a little nervous at first. Luckily therapist Corine Prout put me totally at ease with her friendly manner, talking me gently through the process step by step. The (actually rather lovely) first steps were followed by a relaxing and lifting massage. Soon I was so relaxed I fell asleep, only waking in time to check out the incredible results in the mirror. The deep cleansing effect of the facial had lifted and brightened my entire complexion. My skin hasn’t looked this good, perhaps ever before – I was positively glowing! “My skin hasn’t looked this good, perhaps ever before – I was positively glowing!” Feeling ever more optimistic about the new me, I popped upstairs to the hair salon to finish off my look with a cut and colour. Senior stylists, Jo Fuller and Corina McNally (a new addition to the Enzo team), put me immediately at ease, spending proper time with me, discussing the look and colour that I wanted for my hair. Unlike some salons, Enzo isn’t a place where you feel pressured to go with certain trends that might suit the stylist’s preferences. Instead Jo and Corina made sure that I was opting for a look that suited my style, my needs and my hectic schedule. With Jo’s advice and expertise my frazzled, chunky blonde highlights were transformed into a rich, chestnut brown with mocha overtones. While Corina styled my tresses into a funky, choppy and unbelievably bouncy style that I adored. The energy and enterprise that the staff at Enzo put in at the front of house is equalled only by the hard work that owner Bill Steward puts into the business behind the scenes. Bill regularly returns to the States to seek out the best new products before they get to the UK, and is always on the lookout for upcoming trends. Their current line of styling products by Alterna is the most exclusive on the market – one shampoo even includes extract of caviar among its ingredients! Unsurprisingly, they are hugely popular with A-list celebrities such as Madonna, Kate Bosworth and Jennifer Aniston. Meanwhile, amongst the new treatments that Bill’s explorations will be bringing to Enzo this season are Japanese hair straightening, stone therapy facials and eyelash perming and eyelash extensions. It’s now a fortnight since my trip to Enzo and, although I loved my style the day it was done, what has impressed me is how easy the look has been to maintain. Two weeks later my hair is still holding both its colour and style as if I’d had it done yesterday. But with my hair looking so fabulous, my only disappointment is that now I’ll have to think of another excuse to get back to Enzo again soon!

It suited the mood of the song. It’s an antiwar tune. But it can also be related to any part of your life – it’s about disobeying orders and doing what you feel is right instead. How did the final track on the album, ‘The Doberman’, come about? Jesus Christ, I love that tune! I wish I’d been there to hear it played back for the first time without having been part of the process, if you know what I mean. It’s special isn’t it? When a band gets that in tune with itself, it’s magical. It was written in my kitchen at home. It’s got this really high roof and I was sitting there playing these individual notes on the guitar and it sounded really atmospheric. It had an ominous feel to it, like the chimes of a bell. The song is a celebration. It’s about rejoicing in what you’ve got. It’s got a cinematic feel to it too. It makes me think of Clint Eastwood arriving in a deserted town, knowing it’s all about to kick off, but he’s ready for it. ‘The Doberman’ also sounds like the title of an incredible movie, something Tarantino would direct. And of course we’d supply the soundtrack! Why did you choose Empire for the album title? It fits the mood. Plus I like one word album titles – Endtroducing by DJ Shadow, Revolver by The Beatles. Plus it begins with an e and ends with an e, which helps! Star plucker Gorgeous Kasabian guitarist Serge Pizzorno tells us about recording the new album, late night lock-ins and performing in a lap-dancing club Where did you record the album? We recorded the album over five weeks at Rockfield Studios in Wales. The place hasn’t been decorated in 40 years. There were tons of old instruments we could mess around with and old recordings – we listened to the original master tapes of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’! Why did you choose to record there? We wanted to do it there because it’s part of a great British tradition of bands getting away from the city and going to the country to record. It’s that idea of doing things properly in the way bands like Queen and Led Zeppelin did in the 70s – have a cup of tea and then start laying the songs down. There’s a real sense of camaraderie. It’s like a pirate ship – all the lads away from home on a mission to steal the gold! Did you see much of the local area? We didn’t get much chance – we were working pretty intensely in the studio. But we would do the odd raid into Monmouth to stock up on fish and chips and alcohol. There was a great pub down the road – legendary lock-ins! What were you listening to while you were recording the album? It was quite varied, really. Personally I really got into The Pretty Things SF Sorrow. That’s an awesome record. Then when I got carried away I’d put on DJ Shadow, just to remind me “That’s a good rule of life – never leave a party early!” that you’ve always got to keep a rhythm going. Plus all the classics of course – the Stones’ ‘Let It Bleed’; Led Zeppelin. What was the inspiration behind ‘Shoot The Runner’? It started off as a bass line I had. It’s really simple – only two chords. It had a sexy, sleazy groove and we worked it up into this full-on party monster. It’s ended up as this huge Marc Bolan-style stomp. Lyrically it’s about debauched hedonism. It was partly inspired by seeing the film The Libertine about the Earl of Rochester – for me he was the first rock star. And the party scene in Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. It’s a soundtrack to the maddest party you’ve ever been to. ‘Shoot The Runner’ is a reference to seeing someone leave when the night is still in full swing. That’s a good rule of life – never leave a party early! How about ‘Empire’? Empire is a word we’ve used for years which means something we think is amazing. It could Are there any new bands you like or that you’re taking out on tour with you? We’re taking The Fratellis on tour with us. I love the album, and they’re great chaps. We get on really well with them. They’re not frightened of doing their own thing. Are you looking forward to playing live again? I can’t wait. It’s when everyone’s together that you can conjure up the feeling. Playing in front of 40,000 people at a time is something else. It’s magical. We did two solid years of touring but now we’re back and recharged we can’t wait to get out there again. Are there any particular places in the UK you like playing? The good thing about being from Leicester is that it’s in the middle of the country. We’re not into the north-south divide. We’re into the whole country getting together. Glasgow is always incredible; King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and Barrowlands both have incredible atmospheres. The Midlands is also really good for us, obviously. We first went to see bands at The [Princess] Charlotte, so that’s really where it started for us. We did one weird one in Leicester at a place called the Half Time Orange. City had just been relegated and we all felt really flat, but we made the best of it. Manchester and Leeds always go well too. They’re rock’n’roll towns – they love their music. The Night and Day Café was a good one; and of course The Cockpit in Leeds. Are there any others which stick out in your mind as memorable nights? I think the strangest gig we ever did was in Tewkesbury. We’d just signed the deal and we were at that point when you think, right, this is when things start getting good. So we drove down there in three cars – an Astra, a Metro, I forget the other one – and the place turns out to be a lap-dancing club. There were cages on either side of the stage. I remember standing onstage, just imagining what had gone on in there. It was great!

Komedia, 01273 647100 8pm, £8.50/£6.50/£5 I’ve never really been one to say “I told you so” – chiefly because I found it could quite easily result in violence against my person, especially when used towards my brother. However, I can’t say enough how dead happy I am to be feeling smug at the number of brand spanking new comedy clubs that keep popping up like dandelions in a well manicured lawn. Bonza! I’m loving this multitude of mirth-fests going on around Sussex. I love the fact that you really don’t have to travel far to get a giggle in this county. I love the fact that there’s all manner of different nights, from the established big headline solo shows to the brand new never-been-on-a-stage-before trembling mic-virgins. Most of all though, I love that this is reflected in the fact that the listings section on this page has doubled in size. I’m well happy with that. Comedy There’s loads more to come too. Only a couple of weeks ago we saw the launch of new monthly comedy night, Clapped Out Comedy, at the Sussex Arts Club, throwing loads of funny comics at us. It was headlined by Robin Ince who we last saw previewing his one man show at Komedia just before he trundled on up to the Edinburgh Festival with it. The most remarkable thing about the show then was his insistance on having his accordian player next to him on stage to provide the soundtrack of which he felt his life had been so cruelly robbed. He was right, of course, making everything a lot more creepy, slapstick, thoughtful and rambunctious thanks to his cunning accompanist. Alone on stage this time, he headlined a great night where newcomer and Jill Edwards comedy workshop graduate, Toby Whithouse, almost stole the entire show with his ten minute slot. “By the time I finish the week I want to start my weekend with lots and lots of sitting down” SATURDAY 30 Kronenbourg Krater Comedy Club Russell Howard, Barry Castagnola, The Raymond And Mr Timpkins Revue, Jon Richardson Komedia, 01273 647100 7pm & 10.30, £15 Loving the multitude of new mirth fests cropping up all over our fair county, Victoria Nangle is all happy and smug Sidesplitters Regular Sunday night comedy.

With calibre like that you know it’s got to be great. My goodness, we’re spoilt for guffaws! And then this week, if you want to get in on the ground floor yourself for the opening of a new chuckle-worthy night, don’t miss The Zap’s new Comedy Club on Friday and Saturday nights. Time to look cool and say you were there at their first ever gig. Bonus. I’m living the dream – comedy is taking over Brighton. Apart from anything else, you’re demanding a touch more variety than your regular staple of indie bands and drum ‘n’ bass nights provides – and it’s not because you’re getting bored of the plethora of musical nights. Personally, I love a good night’s boogie, but by the time I’ve finished the week I want to start my weekend with a fun night that involves lots and lots of sitting down. I’m parking my arse and shaking those stresses right out with a few good belly laughs. In fact – I’m greedy. Sometimes I won’t even wait til the weekend to get my fix. Booking into a mid week special from time to time can shake those cramped muscles right out better than any yoga night – and I can smoke whilst I’m relaxing. Fun fortnight Yes, some serious relaxation opportunities have arrived, and there are even more just around the corner. We’ve got the Paramount Comedy Festival for two whole weeks in October – yay! But ambassador, you are spoiling us. I swear, by the time November comes around The Joker will have nothing on my permanent grin and Cheech and Chong not a patch on my mellowness. Roll on relaxation! Laughter is the medicine of the happiest in the land. ☺ Stand-up wisdom 10: “We buried the cat yesterday. He wasn’t dead.

Will it be rude if instead of meeting them at the station, when they arrive I just open the door for them and run back to the telly shushing them as they say hello? I’m a bit worried. They want to stay for three whole nights. Sometimes I long for company but I think three days of constant chatter and discussions about meals will send me nuts. Umm, what will I be like when the baby is born? That will be my life. Even though I miss companionship since the ex left, sometimes I think I actually like being on my own, in silence. Most of the time I don’t put music on, I just potter about and listen to the hum of everything. Well, my upstairs neighbours play brilliant music so I don’t have to put any on, they save me a fortune in electricity! It’s swings and roundabouts though, as I think they are using my wireless broadband connection. They play loads of old rare groove and Stone Roses and stuff – it’s great, sometimes I think ‘ooh I haven’t heard that in ages’. I’d put it on myself but then I don’t have to, I can hear it perfectly, they have a loud system.

Will I want to run away? Will I cope with somebody constantly needing me? Will it affect my following of Lost series 2? We all know what a big commitment it is (24 episodes, nearly half a year). If I need chocolate late at night there will be nobody to look after the baby while I pop to the 24-hour, could I ask the neighbours? Only joking. My life is going to change and as an independent (read ‘likes to be in control’) woman, the scariest thing is I have no way of preparing for it. I thought about using a ‘teach parenting’ doll they give schoolkids, the dolls that cry until you pick them up, but then I thought it would do my head in. The thing I’m forgetting is that I’m concentrating on the disadvantages of having a baby (as if that will prepare me for it), and not considering the amazing benefits that right now I can’t even fathom. I looked at a baby the other day, she was adorable, she smiled at me and I thought ‘What if my baby is cute?’ I hadn’t even thought of that. I forget about the pros of having a child. I imagine a disgruntled, rat-like newborn and forget that after a few weeks, months, years, she’ll grow up really cute and I’ll have a little mate who I can send to the 24-hour for chocolate… Cryptic 61 IKEA goods Tell us what you want, and we’ll deliver it.

It is, however, also the date for the now legendary Stick It On special at The King and Queen pub on Marlborough Place. The Caribbean themed all-dayer managed to condense the mixture and unpredictability of any festival into the comfort and ease of a Sunday afternoon session down the local. The courtyard amply hosted the many early risers. Reggae Steady Cook were on hand to provide much welcome cuisine and the village fair entertained all with classic games such as Smack The Rat and Wheel DJ Derek Of Fortune, all in aid of Brighton’s Radio Reverb. DJ Wheelie Bag, accompanied by the beautiful Wheelettes, thrifted his way through the afternoon spot. The Wheelie Bag Sound System (enough to shame the carnival boys of W11), is a converted shopping trolley on which he plays ska, reggae and good ol’ rock’n’roll, as well as hosting Wheelie Bingo and Porn Idol. Former Bristolian accountant DJ Derek, a regular at festivals across the country, raised the stakes with a mix of classic reggae, ska and dub which rapidly drew the growing crowds from their tables to the dancefloor. Derek’s patois provided the backdrop for the setting sun as the chosen few were biting fingernails as their 15 minutes drew ever closer. Stick it On’s manifesto is one of good music with no pretence and, with that in mind, the next three hours had it all. From the poptastic tunes of Franz Ferdinand and Blur, to Azzido da Bass’s Doom’s Night via the lounge of Lionel Richie. No poseurs – just an up-for-it crowd having one hell of a party. Rob, Kate and Tim are moving their regular nights to the Komedia and, if they are half as good as this, you’re in for a treat. Stick It On, call 01273 682388 or visit www.stickiton.co.uk) ✌✌✌✌✌ A brand new monthly show hit Brighton in the Sussex Arts Club, to a mixed reaction from the audience. It’s got to be said that this audience didn’t mince its words. If it loved you – as it did Toby Whithouse especially, as well as James Branch – you were cheered to the rafters. People were still demanding more of Toby’s act as they left at the end of the night. Unfortunately, this Thursday night crowd did not appear too enamoured of the headliner Robin Ince, with his broad mixture of classical and pop culture references resulting in a quieter than usual final third. All in all it was a good first outing, with some bang-on acts and some that didn’t quite hit the mark. Ready to be fine tuned, you can be sure the next line-up will take on board how rambunctious Thursday night truly can be. 14 September, Sussex Arts Club Neil Ive The Wheelie Bag Sound System If you’re stressed, fed up, skint, bored or happy (aka ‘in denial’), then head down to Side Splitters this Sunday. Get hugged by a warm and friendly atmosphere while you view the next big and bright stars in comedy shining, with fresh newbies supporting hot headliners. Tony Cowards talked a load of crap (in a good way I promise!); Andy-Lee Fry took us on a trip down Sesame Street to rendezvous with Hitler; Phil Dukes shed new light on local issues, driving the city’s comic potential with famous buses and chips; and headliner Quincy explained in his boisterous and daring way why he likes big butts with hilarious ‘Quincy’-essence. Heckling was convivially handled and made into a running gag funny enough in itself. Cooking up a sizzling show of raw talent compered by regular MC Gavin Hanmer who, exploding with talent, provides the antics with oodles of fun, enthusiasm and zesty energy. All for only £3! Side Splitters, Sundays, The Providence, 130 Western Road, Hove ✌✌✌✌ Resistance The first Friday of every month the alternative scene has another night to call home. Arriving shortly after opening at 11pm, I was hoping for another quality night of industrial, EBM (Emotional Body Music) and trad Goth. Resistance is a spin-off night with former Deadly Nightshade DJs, and a night I have enjoyed many times at the Pressure Point in the past. The Enigma’s architecture lends itself brilliantly to the dark atmosphere the music creates, and the folk attending have an admirable sense of style that really helps to make these alternative nights what they are. The drinks are the average price for what you would expect on a Friday in town, and it’s good to let go, looking the way you want without the thought that some lame chav might make a remark. Sadly, two points marred the evening. Firstly, a DJ played a below-par set after being informed the club would close early due to lack of business at the bar. Secondly, there was a poor turnout, which hopefully will change as word of mouth works its wonders. Turn up, make the most of it, as ‘alternative’ here is the norm. Resistance, first Friday of every month at the Enigma Club, Ship Street, Brighton ✌✌✌✌ If you would like your event reviewed please email editorial@thelatest.co.uk Adele Zizi Paul Jones latest 7 13 014-016_LS289_music/clubs 21/9/06 2:59 PM Page 2 MUSIC THE BIG GIG Latest 7’s Top 5 records Flipron Biscuits for Cerberus (album Tiny Dog) Eccentric and charming offering from this four-piece who amalgamate 60s psyche with a strong musical theatricality, using a variety of instruments such as accordion, clarinet, lap steel, harmonica, dobro and banjulele as well as the usual guitar/drums/piano format.

Mixing old school hardcore with new wave, punk and no-nonsense AC/DC style rock, its not exactly cutting-edge, but there is an overwhelming enthusiasm for the project that has found an audience who can’t get enough of the current zeitgeist for rock, pure and simple. Brighton’s The Lodge are in support. Tue 26 Sep, Concorde 2, Brighton TUESDAY 26 Black Seeds + Babyhead This Wellington-based seven-piece have found a great deal of success in their native New Zealand – three albums in and their blend of reggae, dub, funk and soul has won the hearts and souls of many a Kiwi. They are now hitting the UK for a tour and for the Brighton date they will joined by Bristol’s Babyhead, a ten-piece ska and hip hop fusion who never fail to get the crowd jumping with their infectious, high energy brass led tomfoolery. Wed 27 Sep, Concorde 2, Brighton Fionn Regan This singer songwriter from Dublin has been making utterly charming, offbeat and intelligent music for a few years now. Based in Brighton for a while, Regan has re-located back to his homeland and finally gets his debut album to see the light of day, the magical The End of History. Despite the sparseness of the production, it’s an album with a subtle punch thanks to his beguiling vocal delivery, a fantastically imaginative literary mind, crisp fingerpicking and strong melodies. There are no two ways about it – this is a first class record from a prodigiously creative talent. Thu 28 Sep, Komedia, Brighton Sparks Very much like Marmite, you either love The Sparks and their high camp, over the top rock-opera histrionics or you loathe them with a murderous zeal, their pompous, utterly pretentious, art rock w**k. Me? Well, just to completely, but compellingly, contradict myself, I will take the middle ground. In other words, I’m amused by their sheer cheek, their lyrical humour, their outrageous production values and the fact that they manage to outdo Queen at times. Even if it is all rather irritating and quite mental! Still, the music they make is remarkably sophisticated, and rather addictive once you give it a listen or two… Sun 1 Oct, Dome, Brighton If you would like your event listed please email listings@thelatest.co.uk Mike Williams + John Pring + Rachel Hawker Acoustic singer songwriters.

But it didn’t always look that way – their very first gig, while students at BIMM, saw them as a duo and by general consent they were pretty poor. But, hey! You have to start from somewhere and very rapidly they have moved effortlessly up the commerical ladder to such an extent that they have already supported the Rolling Stones, notched up nearly a million in sales of their debut album and stormed the charts on a regular basis. What is the appeal? Well, their scuzzy yet fresh-faced looks, the fuzzed-up guitar-driven songs with a distinct Englishness that has seen them being bracketed with the likes of Ray Davies, Supergrass and Blur, and their impressive depth and knowledge of music past and present, despite their relative youth. This will be a fine celebration of young British guitar music with the bonus of the excellent Larrikin Love and new kids on the block Cat the Dog. Thu 28 Sep, Dome, Brighton BRIGHTON SCENE A weekly round-up of the best of Brighton Roger Davies, Tue 26 Sep, Brighton Live takes up all our interest this Joogleberry week.

Over at the Constant Service on the same day the gorgeous ccountry bluegrass of Mountain Firework Company trade licks with the raw gypsy acoustic punk of Matt Oldfield. Featuring one-time Massive Attack guest vocalist Debbie Clare, Oom’s dense guitar fusion matches up with the fabulous country folk of The Gin Club and Breaking Jailbait, Fri 29 Sept, Audio Point.(Wed 27 Sep, Red Roaster). Big indie rock guitar sounds from Pushca fuse with the Early Morning Soundtrack and the up and coming Pope Joan (Thu 28 Sep). Rock’n’roll reprobates Jailbait trade blows with the reggae-infused Carlo Sandblow and Turning Green (Fri 29 Sep, Audio). While over at Mad Hatters on the same day the ska driven Los Albertos get friendly with The Miserable Rich and the raw folk-blues of Matt English.

The Rare Kind Gallery, England’s first and only graffiti art gallery, is moving locations this month after four years. I spoke to owner David Samuel You had a party at the shop just before the move. How did it go? It was our last open mic and instore jam at the shop, we’ve had loads since 2003 and I thought we needed to have one more to let it all go off with a bang. It was amazing; people came from all over, as well all the local heads. We got some pieces put up in the shop and it was a great day for all. Will the open mics be continuing at the new shop? It’s something to be worked on, I definitely want to do some sort of party thing there What’s different about the new shop? There’s going to be brand new stuff. It’s a whole new Rare Kind Gallery, there’s going to be a lot more art and other bits and pieces but you’ll have to come to the new shop to find out. There’s also going to be loyalty cards for the first 100 customers. And so Rare Kind Records is also moving? It’s three floors: the ground floor’s the gallery, the second floor will be shared between art and music and the third floor is solely dedicated to the music. So you can go up two flights of stairs and see all the mad paintings and prints and record covers and then at the top, HP has got the biggest collection of hip hop, breaks and beats on the south coast. Anything else on the horizon? The new Rare Kind website, done by Delarge, is launching at the same time as the shop. I’m also going to be customising car panels for the London to Brighton Smart Car rally. There’s also a documentary coming soon. What’s that about? It’s about the last four years at the shop and the Rare Kind gallery/family. If anyone has any footage or photos, please let us know so we can include it in the documentary. And if you feel like you’re a head and need interviewing contact us as well. The film’s explaining what Rare Kind is and what’s happened here. It all started off as a small crew of graffiti writers and now it’s turned into a massive group of people doing all kind of things to do with graffiti and hip hop culture. It will be out early next year and we’re going to get Louis Slipperz and 184 and a couple of others to do the music for it. The preview is on the Rare Kind gallery’s My Space page. Photo credit: Matt Garcia What fond memories are you taking from the North Road shop? All the people I’ve met, all the open mics and rappers that have come in, it’s been a great memory. I’m very grateful and I want to thank the Brighton scene for taking part, helping me do it and making it a home. The Rare Kind Gallery is now situated at 104 Trafalgar Street.

This week, it’s The Blue Hearts Which band sings songs so sad they break your hearts? Touching guitar strings to reach the most sensitive parts Stretch your heartstrings till they twang and burst Songs sang so sad, like a love that’s cursed The Strange Fruit Tree In a summer dress of moonlight white You came to leave with me that night And all our hopes and all our prayers We packed up for the ride Your hair was black and tied right back Red ribbon soft against your skin You held my hand and we made our plans And we rejoiced in all our sin O my love, you will always stay with me You can lie in my arms beneath the shade Of the strange fruit tree I was laughing at your window All prophets stood there silent In your arms held so tender I watched your ribbon start to flutter Just a cry before left me You slipped from hand so slowly I wept and looked and looked and wept At the ribbon round your neck So I sit here with your memory Existing with the cold and lonely Waiting for my heart to heal But I know it never will I will climb up through the branches With your ribbon torn and faded Kiss it once before I tied it And pray to God I can’t deny it Send more lyrics, all poets and rhymers out there...

The SPACE (Southern Performance And Creative Energies) is, as its name suggests, a multidisciplinary event now happening monthly. Aimed at Brighton’s creative community, it provides an environment for debate and relaxation but also a space for networking and gaining contacts so that, ideally, people desirous of work can find some. I’m annoyed to have missed it – not because I want any work (I try to avoid it), but because they had special guest interviews with Tim Pope, creator of some seminal music video moments since back when I was in short trousers. It was he who did the Cure-in-a-wardrobe video (“it really pricks people’s pincushions”), and a bevy of David Bowie and Soft Cell promos from back in the day, as well as newer work like the Kaiser Chief’s ‘Every Day I Love You Less And Less’ and a sweet one for a Jim Noir song featuring nudists and a gnome (check them out on www.timpope.tv). Plus there was a chat with William Nicholson, Oscarnominated screenwriter for Gladiator. Next month’s event takes place once again at the Algarve Suite of the New Madeira Hotel, Marine Parade. Taking place on 3 October, it features an appearance by Roy Greenslade, media commentator for The Guardian. Plus there’s a chat with Nick Gillard, one of the film world’s most in-demand stuntmen. He’s taught Jedi knights how to handle their light sabres, doubled for Tom Cruise and played the alien queen in Aliens. He looks nothing like that in real life, though, and should have some great James Bond-related stories to share. It costs just £2.50. Light years ahead Totally off the point, perhaps, but I received a press release from the BFI the other day announcing that they’ve started digitising their archive and making it available online. As the national custodians of film history, they’ve got some kind of duty to share it with the nation and, until recently, that meant travelling up to London and descending into the archive itself. I did it once, to watch an old silent movie for a course I was doing, and they just left me to it, with an old Steinbeck machine, a diagram of how to thread the film through, and three precious reels of a film by GW Pabst from 1926. I couldn’t help feeling that I was going to loop it wrongly and snap the film. OK, they weren’t originals, they were viewing copies, but still, it was a bit scary. Now though, they’re putting up films from the collection for download. How cool is that? You have to pay a little bit, sure, but there are thousands of films in the collection that you simply wouldn’t get to see if it weren’t for an initiative like this. They’ve started with over 30 films from Dziga Vertov, Horace Ové, Frank Hurley (who filmed Shackleton’s expedition to Antarctica in 1914) and more. You then get to keep them indefinitely on your computer and all profits go towards the upkeep of the archive. An invaluable resource for film fans and film-makers, and aeons ahead of commercial studios! Got anything to say about Brighton film? Email me: maxl@breathe.com The SPACE.

It’s something we’ve all wondered at some point or another. Away from the media presentation, there is a family who deals with every day emotions like the rest of us, but have to contend with the media’s critical eye and heading a country. Helen Mirren plays Her Majesty and carries the part off well with elegance and quiet charm. Dealing with the events of Princess Diana’s death nine years ago, the film approaches the subject sensitively, while incorporating actual footage of a nation in mourning and a recreation of the car crash, adding to the authentic, documentary feel attempted by Stephen Frears. A whole host of researchers have ensured facts and dates are as accurate as possible, while the casting of the family members and Prime Minister Tony Blair fit well within the story. Dealing with media attacks and an approaching election, we see how the Queen copes, giving us a fairly accurate portrait of a life we know very little about. Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby (12A) Director Adam McKay Now this is more like it. Will Ferrell doing what he does best, playing a moronic hero once more. Ferrell is great as Ricky Bobby, the NASCAR driver with more wheels than brain cells, and John C Reilly plays Ferrell’s best buddy/Judas with an immaculate charm. It is good to see Reilly doing more comedy because he has a real talent for it. Britain’s Ali G (Sacha Baron Cohen) plays the evil French driver, hellbent on destroying Ricky’s career and possibly stealing a little kiss at the same time! The film is sheer lunacy – the bit with Ferrell running round convinced he is on fire had me laughing harder than anything in Anchorman. If you like silliness then you’ll love this – this is a definite take-your-brain-out and watch kind of film and I loved it! SR Showing at Odeon, Cineworld and Orion Cinema Also showing Zara Friend Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Orion Cinema Trust The Man (15) Director Bart Freundlich David Duchovny (The X-Files) plays Tom, who is stuck in a sexless but stable marriage with Rebecca. Compare this to the relationship of Rebecca’s brother, who is facing serious commitment phobia to his girlfriend. Using these two relationships, Freundlich explores infidelity and break-ups with entertaining results. Actor David Duchovny stands out here and certainly hasn’t been on our screens enough since his days as part of the FBI. ZF Showing at Cineworld from this weekend The female lead, played by Kate Hudson goes from hating to loving Mr Dupree in such an unconvincing way you can hardly blame Matt Dillon’s character for getting mad at them both, and the final conclusion is so obvious and cheesy I had to avert my eyes. Basically this is a great date movie, but I wouldn’t go and see it with your mates – it might get a little soppy for them. Stefan Reszczynski Showing at Odeon & Cineworld You, Me And Dupree (12A) Directors Anthony and Joe Russo Owen Wilson and Matt Dillon pair up in this rom com that puts more emphasis on the rom than the com. Now I think Owen Wilson is a comedy genius and Matt Dillon can be a funny guy too, but after seeing both of them in comedic classics like The Wedding Crashers and There’s Something About Mary, You Me And Dupree is a bit of a let down. Yes it’s funny, yes I laughed, but it just wasn’t as funny as their other movies. Run the disk Clerks 2 (15) Twelve years after the original Clerks was released and we are blessed with a sequel. Rather than going for a remake of the black and white classic (let’s face it, who would, as the original was pretty perfect), Kevin Smith finally brings us Clerks 2 – a day following Dante’s last shift at work before moving to sunny Florida with his rich fiancée. A hilarious new outing that retains the enjoyment and fun of the original, with no previous (Clerks) experience necessary. ZF ET: 20th Anniversary (U) Everyone’s favourite extraterrestrial returns to the big screen at the Duke of York’s this week, charming a new generation of film-goers. A young Drew Barrymore is part of the family who takes care of the big-eyed alien who just wants to go home. Great family fun. ZF To watch or not to watch? Let L7’s DVD reviews help you answer the question The Night Porter (18) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unknown White Male (12) ★★★★★ Tristan & Isolde (12) ★ ★ ★ ★★ Director Liliana Cavani (1974) Charlotte Rampling and Dirk Bogarde star as a concentration camp survivor and her former captor who run into each other in a Viennese hotel years after the war. He is weary and resigned to his upcoming war crimes trial, she is affluent but empty; both become emboldened when they embark on a wordless, carnal affair. Oozing compulsive lust and exploitative sexuality, it’s a timeless, sometimes discomfiting classic. Director Rupert Murray Documentary following Doug Bruce, an ex-stockbroker who suddenly finds himself with no recollection of his past life. Through this journey of rediscovery the question arises: are we following Bruce’s reintroduction to reality, or an elaborate hoax? Apparently Doug saw no clichés or stereotypes, yet much of the film is nothing but, down to the predictable montages of childhood pursuits. Still, the ambiguity of whether he is for real makes the film compelling, despite its flaws. Director Kevin Reynolds This Ridley Scott-produced version of Wagner’s opera dispenses with the singing but hangs onto the Romeo And Juliet theme of enemies in love, based on a medieval legend. Set in an era of Anglo-Irish war, the story follows Cornish orphan Tristan and Isolde, daughter of the belligerent king of Ireland. They fall in love to a backdrop of betrayal and invasion, with illicit trysts, power struggles and sacrifice to keep the pace flying. Danielle Seitz Carla Taylor DS latest 7 19 020_LS289_stage 21/9/06 3:07 PM Page 2 STAGE Sex & blood & Raquin’s role Local thespians Despicable Acts bring a brand spanking new production of Zola’s shocking novel Thérèse Raquin to Gardner Arts Centre Emile Zola’s novel caused shock, outrage and horror when first published in the 1860s. Set in Paris in the mid 19th Century, Zola’s first major novel Thérèse Raquin was uninhibited. It’s a portrayal of madness, adultery and ghostly revenge which brought the 27 year old author a notoriety that followed him throughout his life. The plot focuses on Thérèse who, trapped in a stifling, loveless marriage to her cousin, embarks on a tempestuous affair with family friend, Laurent. Their dreams of staying together lead to a vicious murder, plunging them headlong into a horrific downward spiral through sickness, twisted violence, madness and death. The book’s lurid themes caused a huge public scandal at the time of its publication, with critics denouncing the work as ‘putrid’ and ‘a pool of filth and blood’ and branding Zola as a ‘pornographer’. Playwright Henrik Ibsen declared “Zola descends into the sewer to bathe in it”. In this new adaptation, by writer/director Charlie Hughes-D’Aeth, they embrace both traditional theatre techniques, and those of modern performance, to face the challenges of the book head-on and to draw the audience deep into Zola’s seedy mire of madness, shocking violence and suicide. Working under Hughes-D’Aeth’s directorship is the newly formed and locally based theatre company Despicable Acts, who have previously performed at the National Theatre, other West End and regional venues, and have worked on international television and major feature films. They’re warning audiences to expect screams, laughs, shocks, with What’s on DEVONSHIRE PARK THEATRE, EASTBOURNE 01323 412000 www.eastbournetheatres.co.uk The Ghost Train By Arnold Ridley Popular story first thrilling audiences in the 1920’s.

Until 25 Mar 2007 Tue–Sat, 10am–5pm; Sun, 2–5pm This exhibition is the result of a twelve week photography project at First Base, a day centre for homeless and vulnerable adults. Through the themes of portraiture and landscape participants from First Base explored how they see themselves, their contemporaries and the world around them. The refreshing and diverse approaches to the project reveal creative, intrinsic talent from some of Brighton’s most colourful characters and their more reclusive peers. And because the work was effectively made ‘inhouse’, there is a level of trust and honesty that would be difficult to attain with an ‘outside’ photographer. The show was made possible by funding from the Arts council, Brighton Housing Trust, Brighton and Hove Council, North Laine Photography, SCIP and The Friends Centre. The project was facilitated by photographer Lindsey Smith, and was part of the First Base Arts Project co-ordinated by Dominique De-Light.

It was basically to promote a good no-frills air service but once I was there I was thrilled and frilled to my heart’s content. The premise of a good press trip is to look after a bunch of journos well so that they say nice things about you, and on that occasion there were plenty of nice things to say as I was wined and dined in a firmament of Michelin-starred restaurants. I also worked out that the female representatives of the Liverpool Echo and the Yorkshire Evening Post were dainty eaters and not lovers of the rare and exotic. So for four days I positioned myself between the two at every meal and devoured three portions of foie gras, lobster, rabbit and sundry other treats that they could not face. It’s a clever ruse that works well if you have no shame and are prepared to swap plates under the gaze of a terrifyingly strict maitre d’. I managed it at Le Cabro D’Or and was rewarded with a feast of goodies the likes of which I had never seen before. So when I was invited to join a table at Vanilla with two ladies from Absolute Brighton, I was thrilled. I like the food at Vanilla, chef Jordan is inspired, and there was a chance that I could eat what the girls could not. Now it would be unfair to use this trick without making at least some effort to persuade the person that they should try everything. And I promise that I did with some success, although I did double up on foie gras. But what amazed me more was their reluctance to try the wines which had been supplied by Andrew Wiseman of Winehouse. There, both my and James’s encouragement fell on fairly deaf ears, which is how we ended up drinking quite so much fine wine that night. ‘‘It was foie gras time and I have to admit that I ended up eating two portions‘‘ The evening started with a raspberry champagne cocktail in the bar where we met up with the rest of the diners. Once in the restaurant proper, it was eyes down for a very full evening. To start, a fresh pea soup with minted créme fraiche was coupled with a Château Tour de Mirambeau Blanc that set all our tongues wagging, the soup and the wine. This was followed by a meaty lobster raviolo served with squash purée and an orange beurre blanc, quite exquisite and a benchmark for the whole evening. This came with a fat glass of rosé from the same winery that made us all very happy indeed. Then it was foie gras time and I have to admit that I ended up eating two portions. What was almost more amazing was the face pulled when the Tokaji arrived. Now James is big on Tokaji, and on this occasion very big indeed as he mopped up the glasses rejected by the girls and still found room for a top-up from Andy. Tokaji made just as good a support for the fattened goose liver as sauterne does – if not better. Are you counting? That’s three dishes and we’re not on main course yet. Add to that the glasses of wine and top-ups that we managed to consume and you might gather that we were in very merry mood indeed. Maitre d’ Adan was also in fine form as was his waiter and the service was slick and efficient throughout. So on we went to a sorbet of white beer and lemon. Now you either love the sorbet thing or hate it, there’s no halfway position on this. Personally I love it when done well and this was. An inter-course sorbet needs to be made with skill, enough sugar to form a light crystal and not too much that it becomes sweet and sticky. This was just right with the bitter notes of the wheat beer humming behind the sharp lemons. It got a pretty universal thumbs up, but then it had our undivided attention as it did not come with a glass of wine. Probably a good thing too, as by this point the table was getting rather full of glasses in varying states of fullness. Next out would be the main course and the combination of chicken with a red wine. No dainty red either but a big and beefy Sangiovese from the Clare Valley. God it was good. It was also good with the truffled breast of chicken which was earthy and dark in flavour. It all came with honeyed carrots an excellent fondant potato and a red wine jus and I resorted to mopping gravy with a finger and sipping wine alternately, dirty I know but soooo good! Dessert was a raspberry lasagne. A confection of fine pastry and sour fruits with a sweet red wine coulis and perfectly made vanilla sabayon. And with that Campbell’s Rutherglen Muscat, not an unusual wine but one that married well with the pud. Penultimately came platters of tip top cheese and excellent chutney and with that Pocas Colheita 1994 port. How we tucked in, despite being full 24 latest 7 to the brim on fine cooking, we still felt obliged to indulge in these fine cheeses and the fine port too. Three sweet wines in one meal made James a very happy bunny and I was gamboling on that same cloud in bunny heaven too. Finally, excellent coffee and chocolate truffle lollipops. I didn’t want it to stop but knew that it had to, and in truth, when it did I was relieved. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, even when you pace yourself. Vanilla excelled and confirmed my original thought that this is certainly a place to watch. Coupled with Mr Wiseman’s wines it made an evening to remember.

The Ultimate Cocktail Book By Hamlyn The release of a cocktail book usually coincides with the changing seasons: Summer garden parties to Christmas and New Year festivities. So, with this thought in mind, it seems a strange time to release a new title. Summer is over, Christmas is too far away and we certainly don’t celebrate Halloween with the enthusiasm of those Americans. Perhaps this release by Hamyln has been timed then, to fill the gap September brings, lifting our spirits as those postholiday blues settle in. Promising to be ‘The Ultimate’ of all cocktail books, Hamyln definitely deliver, offering over 200 (who knew there were so many?) recipes for both the cocktail novice and connoisseur. What makes this book different is the extensive introduction into the history and origins of the cocktail – a concoction of spirits and juices blended together. Without giving too much away, there are a few theories to the creation of the first cocktail, one that includes a Mexican Princess and another involving an alcohol-banned USA. There are tips on different glasses to use, essential accessories and even decorative fruit. The latter may seem a little excessive as nearly five pages are given to the decoration, but once you see the stunning photographs (a good appearance means your halfway there to a good cocktail) you will want to try out citrus spirals for yourself to impress friends with. The recipes are divided into sections including The Classics, Strictly Spirits, Tall Drinks, Exotic Cocktails and Alcohol-free Cocktails. This week’s recipe is from the Exotic section, with others including Tropical Beach and the Mai Tai. Perfect to reminisce about the past summer, invite your friends round for an Autumn party and liven things up with a brightly coloured drink with a decorative umbrella and slice of lime. Who knew September could be so fun? Zara Friend Havana Beach Serves: 1 Preparation time: 3 minutes 1/ lime 2 2 measures pineapple juice 1 measures white rum Cut the 1/2 lime into four pieces, put them into a blender or food processor with the pineapple juice, rum and sugar and blend until smooth. Put the ice into a hurricane glass or large goblet, pour in the drink and top up with ginger ale. Decorate with the lime slice and serve with straws.

Based at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, they aim to give the people of Sussex the best possible care, while improvements, such as new equipment and building projects, make the cancer centre more effective, comfortable and attractive. Their new website features useful information, on-line donation facilities, links, and news on events and and new projects, like their new chemotherapy suite, a great achievment, due to open this month.

These will include complementary therapies, an information room for patients and relatives, counselling services, quiet rooms, and meeting rooms for support groups. The centre will also provide a base for the Macmillan Team.

Please help to help those with Cancer in Sussex. 30 latest 7 Creative quarter The SPACE is a unique networking group for the arts and media in Brighton and Hove Undoubtedly Brighton is a creative city. But some may feel there should be more opportunities for those working in the arts and media to meet with others and gain support. This is why radio producer Wayne Imms conceived The SPACE (Southern Performance and Creative Energies) – a new networking event, and more besides. Since the first one in May, these monthly gatherings have been graced with various special guests who have had real success in their fields. September featured author and Gladiator screenwriter William Nicholson and legendary music video director Tim Pope. Held at the New Madeira Hotel, the event was inspiring and lively, with around 70 people attending. The SPACE is supported and funded by the employment initiative Working Links, a unique public/private/voluntary sector company who are highly successful in helping the long-term unemployed back into sustained work and providing for local communities. On top of this, Wayne and his team are seeking partnerships with other local groups and businesses, which will hopefully lead to further funding. “I’m so pleased with our recent event, and our growing popularity, which we need to build upon”, he said. “There’s clearly a need for The SPACE in a thriving place like Brighton.” Sponsored by Working Links: Changing Lives, Creating Futures www.thespace.me.uk, www.workinglinks.co.uk, www.newmadeirahotel.com The event’s presenter Hayley Sherman with William Nicholson 031_LS289_health 21/9/06 3:18 PM Page 1 HEALTH See more health tips at wavemagazine.co.uk Picture perfect Health & fitness Latest 7 bats a perfectly made up eye at the world of permanent make-up thanks to Finishing Touches TUESDAY 26 Ever wondered what it would be like to wake up knowing you can confidently open the door to the postman looking more like a dazzlingly made up starlet (with perfectly applied eyeliner, lip liner and eyebrows) and less like the grim reaper? Well now you can and Latest 7 sent an unmade Latest 7 reviewer to try out the newest ‘Wake up to Make-up’ permanent beauty treatment offered at Finishing Touches in Brighton. Before After What treatments are available? Finishing Touches Ltd is one of the UK's foremost practitioners of permanent cosmetic technology offering eyebrow shaping, eyeliner, eyeliner shadowing, eyelash enhancement, lip liner, lip blush and full lip colour but their expertise does not end there. They are also proud of the work they have achieved in the paramedical field, including scar/stretch mark camouflage, aerola’s, cleft lip etc. Having designed the Precision Plus machine, which due to its high level of certification allows micropigmentation (used to disguise many medical conditions) to be offered to many clients within the hospital environment. And if all you want is just a fashion accessory then they do that too! Body Art has been formulated to give clients small, tasteful, fashionable stencils on their body, which will gradually fade with time. Eyes wide awake Latest 7 says: “Like a lot of us in the 80s, I overplucked my eyebrows and was tired of having to fill them in using an eyebrow pencil. With this in mind I went along to meet Alison at her consultancy rooms in Sackville Gardens to discuss what I would like to see. Friends had warned me that as I got older I might look a little silly with thinning grey eye, and fullsome eyebrows, but Ali reassured me that the tattooing in fact fades a little after a couple of years so you don’t need to be stuck with the same look. After completing some lengthy, but reassuring Q & As, she gave me a short allergy test. Once we agreed on the shape of the brow, Ali pencilled them in and treated the area with an appropriately chosen colour. The small needles used in the treatment are really quite painless and within 20 minutes or so, my thin patchy eyebrows were suitably enhanced.” So, whether you are after a more specialised camouflage technique, want to try out a tattoo design or if you’re after something slightly more long term for those early mornings or bare-faced swims then give Finishing Touches a call.

The defender scored a blunderbuss of a strike in the 4-1 win over Leyton Orient and then dedicated his first-ever Albion goal to the pair. He told Latest Sport: “I hope that Dean Wilkins and Dean White get the job permanently and every single professional in that changing room feels the same way. The performance should show the chairman we are all fighting for them – and personally I really hope they get it." El-Abd's not the only one. Former captain and manager, Brian Horton has also backed Wilkins. "Good coaches get the chance," the Albion legend told Latest Sport. "It's now up to Dean [Wilkins] to take it. He's matured as a coach and he’s got the experience. “The Brighton supporters, who are fantastic, will like the fact he's Brighton through and through. It's up to Dick and the board, but Dean's a first-class person. He's got all the credentials." Designer managers – as Micky Adams once called them – don't cut any ice in the Albion dressing room either. Skipper Charlie Oatway was the first to support the pair, while strikers Gary Hart and Alex Revell were quick to back up the club captain. “The Brighton supporters, who are fantastic, will like the fact he’s Brighton through and through” Dean Cox and Dean Hammond added their weight to the case for White and Wilkins, before Paul Reid urged the board that they needn't waste their time in inviting applications from outside the club – ask any Albion player and you'll get the same response. It's easy to see why the younger players give the pair the thumbs up. Dean White and Former youth coach Wilkins has Dean Wilkins been a major influence on the 17 professionals in the 29-man squad who have come through the ranks, while White has helped them progress through the reserve ranks. But the senior professionals within the group have also seen Wilkins's credentials close up – and, more importantly, they like them. White is alongside Wilkins all the way – a hardworking, straighttalking, no-nonsense general who has tells it how it is, and has an eye for talent (in case you didn't know he plucked the likes of Reid, Revell and Loft from football obscurity). They make a fantastic pair, full of experience and enthusiasm, and they'll bounce off one another for the good of the club. Dick Knight admitted after the Orient thumping that a lot of highquality applicants had been in touch. "I'm keeping a dossier of people who are interested in managing this club, but right now there isn't any reason for me to look beyond the four walls of Withdean." At the time of writing, Albion face tough away assignments at Southend, Carlisle and Yeovil, but the Latest Sport team are certain by the time you read this the pair will have further strengthened their case – and Dick's dossier will be filed in the club's waste disposal. Dean Wilkins in the dug out 32 latest 7 Automatters Mark Baker gives some finely-tuned advice to L7 reader Freddie, who is about to buy his first ever car Hi Mark, I passed my driving test after I turned 17 late last year. I‘ve been working while doing my A levels to earn some money to go towards a car. I’ve been driving my mum’s Golf over the summer but I’ve now saved £1,500 to go towards my own car and my mum has offered to help with the insurance. I really enjoy driving but I want something that will be cheap and reliable. I’ve got another year at college so cash will be tight and I don’t want to be shelling out for repair bills. What car would you recommend? Cheers, Freddie Hi Freddie, Wow, you’re a lucky guy if your mum has offered to help pay for your car insurance because, believe it or not, this could cost you as much as your first car! You always remember your first motor and, with £1,500 to spend, there are plenty of options open to you. There are some seriously fun cars out there that you could easily get insured and, to be honest, if you pick wisely you shouldn’t have any expensive bills to pay. My personal favourite would be a Ford Fiesta 1.25 LX or the sportier Zetec but the hefty group six insurance group could be a killer – you may well get a nice clean 1998 example with under 40,000 miles on the clock and full service history for your £1,500, but you would probably have to lay out more than that to insure it. So unless your mum is feeling particularly flush I think this one could fall at the first hurdle. “You always remember your first motor and with £1,500 to spend there are plenty of options” Somewhat less fun to drive, but a sensible and reliable motor, would be an insurance-friendly 1998 VW Polo 1.0 L. It’s a scaled-down version of the Golf with a big car feel. The Polo won’t rock your world but it offers a solid reliable package with high levels of quality and safety. A compromise solution could be the lower-powered and cheaper-toinsure Fiesta 1.3 or the similarly engineered Ka – basically a cut down, smaller version of the Fiesta with a funkier body. Both of these should prove easier and cheaper to insure, yet they are still bags of fun to drive and you could easily get a low mileage 1998 model. Running costs should be low and, because there are so many of them around, you should be spoilt for choice. There are a couple of things you need to consider before you take the plunge. Firstly, stick to cars with full service history and low mileage – under 40,000 would be good. You should be able to pick up a one or two owner example, even at this money. And, secondly, take someone with you who knows a bit about cars, there are plenty of friendly independent local garages who offer good service and keenly priced Fords and VWs. So good luck, and let me know what you buy.

Not for carpenter Clare Leech, who’s won a Barratt’s regional apprentice award City Point, Brighton When Clare Leech joined Barratt’s apprenticeship scheme apprehensive friends suggested that it would, at best, be a ‘different experience!’ It certainly has been, but not in the way Clare’s friends feared; in fact she’s done so well that she won the Barratt’s Regional Apprentice of the Quarter Award! “The whole experience of working as an apprentice carpenter has been a boost to my self-esteem,” comments a delighted Clare. “I’ve had incredible support from the first day and all the men in the team have been fantastic about working with a woman!” Clare is one of approximately 200,000 women currently employed in the UK’s construction industry, although only about one per cent are tradespeople like Clare – the majority work in design, technical, management and sales. Clare, however, has no problem with working on site where she gains valuable hands-on experience from Monday to Thursday, taking Friday off to attend lectures at college. Clare Leech, apprentice carpenter for Barratt “At Barratt we offer apprenticeships because there is such a shortage of skilled staff in all areas of construction, and training our staff tends to lead to improvements in productivity, quality of work and staff retention,” says Trevor Sawyer, managing director of Barratt Southern Counties. “We have a number of applications from young men and young women who realise that, with the construction industry providing approximately 86,000 jobs a year, there is plenty of opportunity once they are qualified. Clare has done extremely well; regardless of gender, she is an enthusiastic and committed member of the team and that is something we recognise, appreciate and reward.” Clare is currently working at City Point in Brighton where Barratt, working with joint venture partners The Raven Group, are creating a wide range of apartments and duplexes along with two different styles of four-bedroom house. Highly contemporary in style and designed by award-winning architects, properties at City Point feature glass and steel balconies and roof terraces with panoramic views. Prices range from just £299,995 to £509,995. For further information on Barratt’s apprenticeship schemes, please contact 01483 505533.

Do these new regulations apply only to people approaching retirement? ANSWER: No. Although obviously that is the most obvious stage at which these regulations are going to be relied upon by employees. They can apply equally at the other end of the age range. QUESTION: I am 20 and want to apply for a responsible job. I am afraid that when they see my age on my CV they will automatically assume that I cannot have sufficient experience to do this job. Is there anything I can do about that if they reject me out of hand? ANSWER: The new regulations are aimed at preventing discrimination arising out of presumptions that persons of a particular age will not be able to do a particular job. QUESTION: How would one ever prove that you had been rejected because presumptions were made about your ability to do the job because of your age? ANSWER: This is the same difficulty as all discrimination claimant’s experience. That is why tribunals are prepared to draw inferences that there has been discrimination if the employers do not come up with any convincing explanation which would not amount to a discriminatory practice.

And it made him miss his Barra mum even more. As to whether or not I believe if he has been reincarnated I have to say that I think it’s true. This little boy is telling his mum things that he has no way of knowing. Seeing him tell the stories and seeing his face when he sees the house and when he meets one of the Robertsons who might well be the sister of his past self – my heart aches. I cannot even fathom what must be going through Cameron’s head. He is certainly brave and has an amazing mum who has had constant belief in her child. 26 Sep – 2 Oct Soapbox jury Medication from Victoria Nangle The Boy Who Lived Before Five, 18 September Is there life after death? Cameron, a five-yearold boy from Glasgow believes there is. Since he first started to talk he would relay memories from another childhood he lived on a remote island off the west coast of Scotland called Barra. As he has grown up the story has stayed the same – just become more detailed. His Barra dad was knocked over by a car and killed, he lived with his brothers and his Barra mum. He keeps telling his mum that he wants her to meet his Barra mum and sometimes he really misses his Barra mum. When asked how he turned up in Glasgow with his current family he says he fell and ended up there. It’s all very weird and the only reason it seems true is because Cameron has told the same story since he could talk and he seems to know a hell of a lot about this island miles away from his Glasgow home. “How confusing it must be for that little boy who’s spent his life talking about his other life” Norma, Cameron’s mum, has decided to take her son to Barra. It’s a decision she had a hard time making but she hopes taking him there will give him some closure and her some proof. He talks about living in a white house with his Barra family and can even give his father’s name – Shane Robertson. As Cameron steps off the plane he announces that he’s happy to be back and starts telling everyone tales from his past childhood saying “Mummy I recognise every little bit.” If I was in Norma’s shoes I’d be slightly heartbroken that my son seemed to prefer and still wanted to be with a family that he no longer has. Watching the programme I so desperately wanted them to find the house and the family and then they do – the historian finds the records and they head to the house. As Cameron sees his white house he suddenly goes quiet and becomes upset, and to tell you the truth it made me feel sad too. How confusing it must be for that little boy who has spent his whole life talking about his Driving me crazy Mental health has always been a bit of a tricky one to depict, whether you’re talking small, shaky-set soaps or a big Hollywood blockbuster. It’s something that the majority of people first hear about in the playground when someone uses it as an insult. Can’t do that on telly, so got to be extra, extra serious about it to show the writers aren’t doing that. Hmm. Although there is one soap-writing trait they won’t escape from in tackling this sensitive subject – if you’re gonna do it, go all the way. Mild depression The Trouble With Celebrity Five, coming in October Who has been to and what happens behind the doors of The Priory – the clinic made famous by celebrity – or is it people made into celebrities by The Priory? People like Pete Doherty and Kate Moss have become more famous after having ‘problems’ with drink and drugs. It almost makes getting addicted a way to become famous. Why do we have such an obsession with celebrities hitting rock bottom? Perhaps it’s because we see them as people who have everything and who nothing ever goes wrong for, and when they have to check themselves into rehab it reassures us normal people that things still go wrong for them. The problem with celebrity is that celebrities exist. Now I realise that’s sounds really twofaced as I am in a job that (if all goes well) will leave me as a celebrity – I’m going to be one of those nice down-to-earth celebrities. Just say NO – it’s not that hard. “Here Kate Moss, would you like a line of coke?” “Erm, no.” There we go, I said it for her. When someone admits to having a problem with addiction, chances are they will be put on a waiting list to get on another waiting list to possibly get help, but if you have been in The Sun you sign up for a £600-per-night prison where you mingle with other celebs struggling with their jobs – which most the time doesn’t ever seem like much! If Corrie’s Claire is going to get post-natal depression, then don’t just have her crying the whole time – make sure she tries to kill her poor mite! None of this moderate depression as a result of, say, the way her husband has been behaving of late, getting into fights and trying to kidnap his son and leave the country. No! Not even a perpetual headache from his squeaky voice. Of course not! No, the most solidly together woman on the street who looks like a 12-year-old has got to be cracking up because of the baby. Only proper, innit? Truth or mad But don’t you worry your little cotton socks about her. She’s going to be all right in the end. How do we know? Because Stingray’s at university, that’s how. The original ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) poster kid from Neighbours is now on his meds without a murmur of a problem and off at uni doing film studies. Bonza! Summer Bay’s Irene apparently went a bit loopy not too long ago, but it turned out someone was poisoning her with mercury. Oh, that’s all right then. In fact, there have been a lot of people over the years who haven’t had their plot-threatening truth acknowledged because they were believed to be ‘a bit ill in the head at the moment’, only to be shown later to have been trying to spring open a mystery all along. If folks had believed Irene, Josh might still be with us today. OK, maybe that wouldn’t be such a blessing – that bloody armpit beard. That piece of facial hair was a lot more unhinged than any Summer Bay murderer. Thank God the danger’s gone. latest 7 37 038_LS289_TV_movies 21/9/06 3:30 PM Page 2 Films on TV This week’s must-see movies Run rabbit run: Watership Down, Mon, 7.15pm, Film 4 Tuesday 26 Casino ★★★★ 1995 • Sky Movies Two • 10pm Director Martin Scorsese Still riding on the crest of the wave with a gun to its head that was Goodfellas, Scorsese had a job on his hands getting his next project up to the same standard. Sticking with the theme of ‘potted history of American organised crime as told by reformed insider’ that worked so well for Henry Hill’s Mafia hagiography, this stars Scorsese regulars Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in a patchier, slightly too long but still gripping, rags-to-riches trip down Memory Lane by Las Vegas mobsters. Danielle Seitz Wednesday 27 Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead ★★★★ 1995• BBC1 • 11.20pm Director Gary Fleder What on the surface comes across as a crimecaper-gone-wrong thriller is a more satisfyingly multi-layered entry into a genre that’s crying out for more morbidly funny metaphysical musings like this. Andy Garcia is the crim trying to go straight pulled in by Christopher Walken’s mob boss for one last job, which Andy’s poorly chosen band of endearingly whacky cronies botch spectacularly. Steve Buscemi is the silent hitman hired to exact a gruesome, one-by-one revenge. DS Swingers ★★★★ 1996• Film 4 • 10.55pm Director Doug Liman Cleverly written (with one eye on Barry Levinson's excellent movie Diner) Swingers is a smart, witty ensemble piece that exudes ironic cool while managing to sharply comment on the plight of men, women and modern life in general. The story follows slumming New York actor Mike (Jon Favreau) as he attempts to negotiate the LA singles scene, alternatively helped and hindered by irrepressible best mate Trent (Vince Vaughn). Capturing both the 90s ironic lounge ‘n’ cigars revival and the wave of Loaded-style new laddism, it’s still right on the money, even after all these years. MC Sunday 1 October JFK ★★★ 1991 • BBC1 • 10.55pm Director Oliver Stone Ollie got all fired up on patriotic fervour and conspiracy-theory zealotry to make what is, as a work of fiction, a well-crafted, compelling thriller, but which holds as much water as a pair of fishnet tights if taken too seriously. Kevin Costner plays Jim Garrison, the DA whose book on the Kennedy assassination forms the crux of this Warren-Commissionbashing exploration of the myriad possibilities behind what really happened on the grassy knoll that day. Gary Oldman, Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones lend able support. DS Thursday 28 Saturday 30 Monday 2 Dogma ★★ 1999 • Channel 4 • 10pm The Fifth Element ★★★★ 1997 • Channel 4 • 9.10pm Watership Down ★★★★ 1978 • Film 4 • 7.15pm Director Kevin Smith Cult director Kevin Smith hit a rare bum note in this uneven religious road movie-cum-satire that left fans confused and the Catholic Church angry. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon star as angels out to destroy the world, tailed by God’s own messenger, Alan Rickman. Kev may have defended the movie throughout the drubbing it received from both the online geek army and the broadsheet film critics, but he was back on more familiar ground for his next effort, Jay And Silent Bob Fight Back. Matt Chittock Director Luc Besson Currently doing the cinema rounds with Angel A, Besson was in his proverbial here with this breakneck-paced, sky-high-camp sci-fi comic fantasy with a Doctor Who-ish plot and the kind of boy-girl love story only a gay man could think of. Bruce Willis is the Joe Bloggs everyman, a cabbie in a futuristic world who becomes embroiled in über-being Milla Jovovich’s quest. Gary Oldman is the Masterlike baddie; Chris Tucker and Ian Holm are part of the team helping Bruce and Milla save the world. Brilliant, well-dressed fun. DS Director Martin Rosen Richard Adams’s imperiled rabbits find fine voice with John Hurt and Denholm Elliott in a melodramatic, but classy animated adaptation of the literary classic. At the film’s heart is an exciting adventure yarn following head rabbit Hazel as he leads his bunny believers away from encroaching myxomatosis towards a new home in the hills. Solid stuff, but beware: it’s ultimately pretty depressing (some mid 70s gloom seems to have made it onscreen). The theme song and the climax alone are enough to reduce even the toughest film critic to a blubbering mess. MC Friday 29 Croupier ★★★★ 1998 • More 4 • 9pm Director Mike Hodges A cunning existential thriller that was buried on release, this has nevertheless made a name for itself as a cult film. It follows Clive Owen as a down-on-his-luck novelist who becomes a croupier in a London casino to gather raw material for his book. Submerged in his new identity, he becomes obsessed with the gambling life while drawing clear parallels between the artist and the croupier. Despite occasionally being too clever for its own good, this is a literate, ambitious movie that rewards multiple viewing. MC 38 latest 7 Striptease 1995 • Five • 11.10pm Director Andrew Bergman Demi Moore stars as a single mom stripper raising her daughter while fending off advances from sleazy senator Burt Reynolds in this classic Turkey based on a Carl Hiaasen novel. There’s plenty going on in the script (homicidal stage-prop snakes and bouncers who throw hissy fits provide local colour), but it’s not funny enough to be a comedy and too slack to muster even the cheapest of thrills. The film was sold on seeing Demi’s bare bod, a pleasure which, even in the mid90s, you could enjoy by visiting your local video store and renting any of her previous flicks. Pointless. MC Less of Moore: Striptease, Sat, 11.10pm, Five 039_LS289_TV_Tues 21/9/06 3:43 PM Page 1 tuesday 26 Stephen Fry: The Secret Life Of The Manic Depressive BBC2, 9pm This is the concluding part of Fry’s fascinating look at the illness that is taking over more and more of us. This week he tells more of his own inside story of wrestling with what Churchill called ‘the black dog’ and how it led his to attempted suicide 11 years ago. We’re glad he failed. Lost Channel 4, 10pm & 11pm It’s the series finale. Oh. My. God. How many hatches are they gonna find? Are ‘The Others’ really bad? What is this major experiment? Most importantly – what happens if no one enters the numbers? Locke really wants to know that last one and it looks like it’s gonna be the twist that has us hanging for series 3. Gulp. The Office: An American Workplace ITV2, 11.35pm Although based on our muchloved The Office from the Gervais and Merchant camp, this brings its own localised squirming embarrassments. Like crossing David Brent with Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm this is hidebehind-the-sofa unmissable contemporary comedy.
