I adore the raw prose and simmering tension of the book; I love the cruelty of Brian De Palma’s film adaptation; heck, I even like the bombasti

    Tom Cruise's Digger is a disaster - I couldn't wait for it to be over (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

From the moment I watched the wonderfully weird trailer, featuring Tom Cruise prancing around in an old man mask with a half-dead cat puppet, I was all in. It was with a certain glee, then, that I swaggered through the West End last night to watch the film, certain I was in for a treat.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    You can always count on David Beckham to cheer a girl up, as he doted on wife Victoria after Katherine Ryan apologised for cracking a ‘stupid joke’. The Canadian comic sparked complaints during an episode of Have I Got News For You in 2025 when she jokingly called the Spice Girl a ‘c***’. Two viewers called the remark ‘gratuitously offensive’ and the BBC subsequently launched an internal investigation. This week it was revealed the BBC upheld the complaints about Ryan.
