Where Are They Now? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We look at faded fame and track down the familiar names we just don’t see any more. Maybe they've finally got a 'proper' job or become a bad-tempered recluse. Or are they still flogging their celebrity status online or in demeaning daytime telly ads and panto?
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We celebrate the Oscar-sweeping classic, featuring one of cinema’s great battles: Jack Nicholson’s rebellious McMurphy versus Louise Fletcher’s chilling Nurse Ratched. With an outstanding ensemble cast, we explore the film’s long road to production and its enduring themes of freedom, conformity and institutional control.
Doppelgängers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We explore the strange world of doppelgängers—from celebrity lookalikes and historical doubles to bizarre claims that famous musicians have been secretly replaced by their uncanny twins.
World Cup Argy Bargy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody was crying for Argentina at the end of the World Cup Final but why did England act like they were defending The Falklands all over again, choosing to park HMS not-so-Invincible?
'Uncool' Bands (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From Hootie & The Blowfish and Counting Crows to the whole Yacht Rock genre, we look into those bands people often love but would think twice about wearing the T-shirt. Is the ridicule justified or is it just performative musical snobbery?
