The Incredibly Talented Lucy review – a sparkling story, with an enraging twist ending

The makers of Channel 4’s reality/talent show The Piano probably thought they had a hit on their hands when they coined the format, but the moment they knew they had cracked it must have been when they found Lucy, a 13-year-old girl from Halifax, West Yorkshire.

Our Dream Welsh Chapel, Channel 4, review: nothing potty about this ambitious property makeover

The cancellation of Escape to the Chateau leaves us short of a reality show about an ambitious restoration project fronted by a cheerful middle-aged couple with design skills, a can-do attitude and a wacky dress sense. It’s a very particular niche, but after nine series in Normandy, evidently a popular one. How to fill the gap? Step up, Our Dream W...

‘I get a little stir-crazy’: Jennifer Connelly on David Bowie, working with family and going back to college

Jennifer Connelly is on a Zoom call from her home in Brooklyn, jetlagged after attending Louis Vuitton’s pre-fall 2024 show in Shanghai, which does not bode well: she is known to have been reticent in past interviews, and sometimes while working. When she made A Beautiful Mind, the 2001 movie for which she won an Oscar for playing the wife of schizophrenic mathematician John Nash, the co-producer Brian Grazer was unnerved by her reserve. “It was...
