Tony Bennett, suave singer of I Left My Heart in San Francisco whose career spanned 70 years – obituary

Tony Bennett, who has died aged 96, sang as much with his heart as his voice. Primarily a showman, he was a better technician than his crooner’s reputation implied, but his appeal was founded less on the skill of his singing than its committed sincerity. That simple virtue brought him two remarkable periods of success, the second an improbable – an...

In some ways, television is a medium based on longevity. After all, the longer a series stays on the air, the more successful it is. A long run, however, can be a bit of a double-edged sword. It’s worth looking at some of the most infamous “jumping the shark” moments in television (including the moment that spawned the phrase).

Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, review: one of the BBC’s odder travelogues turns out to be a tonic

This year marks the 200th anniversary of Lord Byron’s death, and what more appropriate way to mark it than by sending Rob Rinder and Rylan Clark to relive his Grand Tour days in Italy?

Rhod Gilbert and the Giant Grapefruit review – hilarity and horror on standup’s cancer journey

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. But what else can we expect the Welshman to talk about, after a diagnosis of head and neck cancer in 2022 upended his life? His first show since then (he got the all-clear last October) is an extraordinary affair – if not for its subject, now far from unique in standup, then for the combination of...

Steve Albini was the Robespierre of punk rock

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...
