on the weekend’s telly
Need a playlist for a BBQ
this afternoon? Today’s
scheduling means you can
soundtrack the sunshine
with Radio 2’s countdown of the top
100 Motown tracks of all time.
Spoiler alert, the No. 1 spot goes to
Stevie Wonder for Superstition.
“Motown is one of the all time great
labels,” he says. “Many of the
artists have been my friends and
family. I am proud to have been
chosen at the top of such an
incredibly talented group of artists.”
Listen from midday.
The Reverend Richard
Coles found himself in
a moral quandary
while staying with a friend in
Edinburgh over the
weekend.
A broken door
handle left him
trapped inside his
fourth floor
bedroom, while
urgently needing the loo.
Unable to rouse his host from
sleep, the Rev consulted
YouTube but scoffed that the
more helpful suggestions for
rescue required a “PhD in
engineering” to decipher.
Eventually, he admitted defeat.
“I have had to pee in an
ornament,” he revealed,
red-faced.
Three hours later, upon release,
he confessed to the use of his
pal’s jug as a toilet.
“He now wants the jug
destroyed rather than just
thoroughly washed,” grumbled
the Rev. “I think this is an over
reaction.
“Seriously, can you think of a
single museum quality jug or
vase that hasn’t been peed in, in
an emergency in the long
centuries of its existence?”
Possibly in the Loo-uvre.
It’s like a hate
crime in a glass.
Judge Rinder delivered a
devastating verdict while
sampling a non-alcoholic
spirit on yesterday’s Sunday
Brunch. THE DIARY
Sanditon, ITV
★★★★
S
ome might wonder why ITV
bothered paying the big bucks
for Andrew Davies to complete
Jane Austen’s unfinished novel.
There have been so many Austen
screen adaptations, this stuff
practically writes itself.
- Pick a plucky and discreetly
gorgeous heroine who wants to fight
her way up the social ladder. Sanditon
version: wide-eyed Charlotte
Heywood played with pouting
perfection by Rose Williams.
2. Surround her with a
bunch of frightfully posh
snobs who spend most of
their time going to balls and the rest
of their time talking it.
3. Find a handsome yet wholly
unsuitable man for her to fall in love
with. Sanditon version: brooding bad
boy Sydney Parker, played broodily
by Theo James.
4. Throw obstacles at the love match.
5. Have a wily/cantankerous older
character to point out how hideous
everyone is. Sanditon version: Mrs
Denham played with Dame-like gusto
by Anne Reid.- Heaving bosoms for
the ladies, tight
breeches for the gents.
And then introduce
some rumpy-pumpy.
Which is presumably
why ITV turned to
82-year-old Davies, who
has form in that area. He also knows
a fair bit about adapting novels. This
latest effort screamed classic Sunday
night period drama from the start.
It also featured an eye-catching
turn from Kris Marshall as exuberant
entrepreneur Tom Parker who wants
to turn the sleepy fishing village of
Sanditon into a booming resort.
He stomped around, hamming it
up and hogging the limelight. Like the
best Doctor Who we’ve never had.
fairness, the haircut was tradition-
ally used for practical purposes.
In the 20s, men shaved very
short buzz-cuts to avoid getting
headlice, which is bad enough.
But also it means Cillian gets
spotted easier with the
distinctive trim.
The Hollywood star has
previously said: “It’s when
you get the haircut that
people start shouting at ya.
“When I don’t have the
haircut I can get the bus
quite unmolested.”
Bookies have slashed odds on
Cillian becoming the next James
Bond – and he’ll struggle getting
the bus in a tux after that.
Fans including ex-footie ace
Becks – who posed alongside
Arthur Shelby actor Paul Anderson
ahead of his clothing line’s release
this October – couldn’t wait for the
return of the series, which moved
to BBC1 last night due to popular
demand. The show continues
tonight.A dog is for life, not just a long time in
a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars
actress Daisy Ridley wants a puppy
to fill the void when filming ends.
“I need something to care for and
nurture,” she muses. “Something
that will distract me from the
emptiness of my post-Star Wars life.”Speaking of David
Beckham, he’ll be bringing
his own booze while his
mate Gordon Ramsay
whips up a beef Wellington at
this year’s GQ Men of the
Year awards – which is pretty
decent catering.
Michelin-starred chef
Gordon has designed the
menu for next week’s bash,
including a main course of his
signature dish as well as crab
starters and lobster canapes,
while David’s Haig Club will be
serving up whisky cocktails.
Michael Sheen hosts Tuesday’s
event, where Greta Thunberg will
be named the magazine’s first-
ever Game Changer.Becks
looks
a little
peaky
Their swish 1920s style
has inspired David
Beckham to release a
collaborative clothing
range and sparked an
83% rise in sales of
flat caps.
But for Cillian Murphy,
there is one element of
Peaky Blinders’ style that
he will never understand.
Though he is grateful for
the flat caps – razor blades
and all. The 43-year-old
actor, who plays Tommy Shelby in
the violent gangster hit, can’t stand
his texturised crop haircut.
Someone will have to tell David,
who looked like an extra for the
show when he turned up on set in
full Peaky attire to watch series five
being filmed.
“People ask for a Peaky cut,”
Cillian tells Woman and Home in
disbelief. “It’s crazy that people like
it – it hasn’t grown on me.” InBUZZ CillianYOU BLINDERS
