Just like buses, you wait ages for a London theatre opening with a lowculture connection then two come along at once. (Actually they came along yesterday but Damages deserves a day to itself.) First we’re in the West End where Kim Cattrall stars in Noel Coward’s Private Lives. Cattrall is of course best known for [...]

Thankfully, the long wait for series three is now over, as it arrives on BBC One tonight. The Wednesday scheduling will take some getting used to, [...]

I that time of year again when some of the better artists of the year (with some notable exceptions as always) are celebrated and some very dodgy duets are inflicted on the nation.

Remember how Channel 4 decided to axe a lot of its old favourite strands at the start of the year to launch radical new factual programming?
