When Steve Albini opened the door to his modest Central London hotel room in spring 2002, it was hard to believe that the bespectacled little man in front of me – five-foot-seven at most, and dressed in a khaki jumpsuit like Sting in the early days of The Police – was the virulent and ever-controversial conscience of American punk rock. With his mi...

Risk and reward: life as a stunt double

Rocky Taylor, 80, Surrey: ‘My worst accident came in 1985 while filming Death Wish 3’ I’ve been in the game since 1960. My first film was The Young Ones, starring Cliff Richard. I can’t have been more than 17, and was only paid a few bob. Already a black belt in judo, I went down and taught him some basics: mostly showing how to do some throws on the mats.

A standup show about cancer? It’s a far cry from the brand of comedy – wild overreactions to trivial irritants – that made Rhod Gilbert’s name.
