A war of finely crafted words (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Does Dominic West ever tire of being cast as charming, remorseless, Etonian shaggers? Does his reputation in the public imagination ever rankle? Does he read each fresh script in bed with a mistress, perhaps on a Roman getaway, and not see the irony? I hope not, because he’s hella good at it, and kicks off this new series, War, with a fresh adultery. He’s Morgan Henderson and he’s a tech entrepreneur, and clearly a good one, the kind of unicorn-breeder that fills John Healey’s very sweetest drea
The children of 9/11 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t remember 9/11, which made me feel especially qualified to watch Netflix’s Turning Point: Generation 9/11. I’ve spent enough time around millennial rememberers, people who try to stun you with their “where were you” stories (school stopped, parents panicked, televisions wheeled into classrooms). But this isn’t about them. Because we’re a canonical 25 years on now, and so this is a documentary about the people who don’t remember, and how an event that you don’t remember can change your cou
The Grand Tour is spinning its wheels (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rather like Arthur and his knights visiting Merlin in his cave, at the beginning of the relaunched The Grand Tour with Amazon Prime, the new trio of presenters – Francis Bourgeois, James Engelsman and Thomas Holland – visit former presenter Jeremy Clarkson on his farm, seeking his advice and blessing. They’re also seeking the return of the show’s studio tent, now repurposed as Clarkson’s farm restaurant. He refuses the tent, but supplies the advice, pulling one of those jowly, mouth-agape Clarks
David Mitchell’s “granny-TV shit” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the Mitchell and Webb double act, David Mitchell is Paul McCartney and Robert Webb is John Lennon. Mitchell has the prime slot on Britain’s best panel show, has published several collections of his wry Observer columns and has played William Shakespeare on BBC One. Robert Webb has a scary heart disorder that for some time stopped him from acting, has spoken publicly about a drink problem in his past, and has published a fine confessional memoir about toxic masculinity. Mitchell is broad, inst
I flew to Wetherspoons Alicante for a pint (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do they do it? How do we do it? The time was 3.57am, at Gatwick’s North Terminal. And at the airport Wetherspoons, by almost every elbow, was a pint of alcohol – golden Stellas, copper Leffes, mahogany Strongbow Dark Fruits. En route to the table of some steel-stomached legend, one waitress was carrying a 660ml bottle of Birra Moretti, her tray high above our heads, like an empress on her litter. No one thought there was anything wrong or strange about this, about giving their livers an earl
