The first single I bought was Bon Jovi’s Keep The Faith, and my first concert was Bon Jovi at Gateshead Stadium in 1995, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the first music documentary (or rockumentary if you will) I’m recommending is Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story which landed on Disney Plus on April …
Over the course of our children’s lives a number of ‘go to’ options have developed in our family; staple items that are guaranteed to deliver without the need for a referee or a committee. Need to knock up a quick tea? Defrost a pot of my wife’s homemade pasta sauce. Looking for an activity everyone …
A miniature white coffin filled with blonde locks is brought to the stage and signals the start of Truly, Madly Baldly – the story of writer and lead performer Sam Macgregor’s experiences with alopecia. We were gathered upstairs at Laurels Theatre for the show, which is framed as a humanist memorial for Sam’s gone but …
On May 12 the 70th BAFTA Television Awards Ceremony will take place, and Happy Valley could cement its position as one of the greatest shows ever produced in Britain by becoming the first to win the coveted Best Drama award for the third time. If it does win, it will be a richly deserved success …

Like several of the games, the narrative starts before the bombs drop, in a version …
This week’s box set may be less familiar to readers than previous recommendations.

The …
As a fan of eighties movies and murder mysteries, I would probably have watched and enjoyed Only Murders In The Building, the US comedy-drama co-created by and starring Steve Martin, even if it wasn’t absolutely brilliant. Martin shares top billing with fellow eighties comedy icon (and fellow Amigo to boot) Martin Short and singer, songwriter, …
If I was to produce a list of things that might tempt my wife to watch a new show, ‘zombie apocalypse’ and ‘based on a Playstation game’ would appear very near to the bottom of it, sandwiched somewhere between ‘features graphic scenes of seal clubbing’ and ‘presented by Joey Barton’. And yet, for nine weeks …
It was said that Edith Piaf could sing the phone book and make it sound good. Last night at Newcastle’s O2 City Hall Liam Gallagher did his level best to do something similar. The album Liam Gallagher & John Squire is not a great record. I’m not even sure it’s a good one. Nobody in …
The Thick Of It is a British sitcom that lifted the lid on the inner workings and backroom hustles of the Government, as imagined by creator and chief writer Armando Iannucci. The show was first broadcast in 2005 when New Labour were in power and had gifted the term Spin Doctor to the world at …
