From The Who’s V-signs to bad miming: the most notorious Top of the Pops performances of all time

Sixty years since it first aired in early 1964 until its controversial cancellation in 2006, Top of the Pops (TOTP) played host to hundreds of titans of music. Most performances went off without a hitch, thrilling audiences and boosting record sales. But gathering a bunch of rock bands every week was always a potential recipe for disaster, and the ...

Operation Mincemeat: the West End hit is still the perfect mix of ingenious, silly and moving

My original Operation Mincemeat musical review was an unqualified five-star rave. I was bowled over by this plucky British success story – or two stories, in fact: both the astonishing real-life Second World War plot to foil the Nazis, and the crafting of a knockout show about it. But I did wonder how it might fare once the original creators left t...

Why not celebrate Taylor Swift and her talent, instead of denigrating her?

The tone of recent letters regarding Taylor Swift (6 June; 9 June) has been patronising and, I suspect, somewhat disingenuous from those readers claiming to be completely ignorant of her. You hardly need to know anything about Swift, or indeed have a liking for her output, to at least recognise that here is a phenomenon who is incredibly talented, has an astute business brain and is a very positive role model to her millions of fans. Given...

Outrageous Homes: Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen has more fun than anyone else alive

I am starting to feel sorry for Channel 4, because they are never going to make a property show I like, no matter how many times they try. This is simply because of the economic reality I live in – I don’t own property and I’m starting to think I never will, thanks woke – and that makes it grating and tedious to watch other people on TV build houses, or renovate houses, or Grand Design their houses. They tried with George Clarke, but I loathed...

Doctor Who, episode 7 review: a properly scary baddie comes to town – after acres of bloated plot

A lesson we can all learn in this age of Ancestry.com is be careful when you look into your past. You never know what you might dig up.

‘People aren’t so impressed by big names’: is the era of celebrity political endorsement over?

David Tennant, Colin Firth, Jim Davidson and the late Kenny Everett all signed up to officially support a political party during past British general election campaigns, giving a touch of showbiz pizazz to the daily round of rainy hustings and churlish TV debates. After Tony Blair’s victory in 1997, the pavement in Downing Street was infamously lined with VIPs, from a Gallagher brother to a Mitchell brother (EastEnders’ Ross Kemp), all calling...

Treasure review – Lena Dunham and Stephen Fry uneasy in well-intentioned Holocaust drama

An uncomfortable experience this: a laboriously acted odd-couple heartwarmer starring Lena Dunham and Stephen Fry, with a sentimentality unsuited to its theme: the horrors of the Holocaust. Director and co-writer Julia Von Heinz has adapted the 1999 autobiographical novel Too Many Men by Lily Brett, whose father Max was a Holocaust survivor from the Lodz ghetto. It is 1991 and Dunham plays Ruth, a New York journalist recently divorced, who has...

Happy Pride month to everyone! Except the landlords and asset managers bleeding dry queer culture

I remember the first time I went to Heaven. I had only moved to London a few months before and I made plans to meet up with my friend Anna, the only other person I knew in the city.

We made a quick diversion en route for Anna’s friend to buy a can of deodorant from the off-licence before we...
