What best to celebrate Charlotte Brontë's birthday than to confirm how her work still influences artists, playwrights, writers... since her birth on a day like today in 1816. A few days ago we listened to Judith Adams 's radioplay I Believe I Have Genius on BBC 4 ( available online until next Thursday) and were very pleasantly surprised. The Brussels period was key to Charlotte's development as a writer...

The Guardian chooses Judith Adams's I Believe I Have Genius as the radio pick of today ( check this previous post for more detailed information ): In 1842, Charlotte Brontë, as poor, plain and obscure as the heroines of her novels, arrived at a girls' school in Brussels with her sister Emily. The women planned simply to complete their studies in return for giving English and music lessons, so they...

I adored Neil Gaiman's book, Stardust, so was immoderately excited when I heard it was being filmed. Better still was the news that it was being partially shot on the beautiful Isle of Skye, and that the talented Claire Danes,...

I loved Hippies, but I might well have been in a minority - perhaps the world wasn't ready for a sitcom about the British 60s counterculture. But if you want to give it a second chance, you can in March...

STAR STUDDED! Clocking Off, ITV3, 9pm We always meant to watch Clocking Off the first time round. We had appreciated the work of Paul Abbott since Children's Ward , we'd seen it was getting good write-ups in the previews, and it starred some actors we quite liked. But we were young, and busy with university, and, well, probably a bit stupid. However, starting tonight, ITV3 is giving us a chance to...

Gosh, this was very thrilling to read wasn't it? One of our gang getting a star interview! Nothing less than we'd expect as we all know and love our Anna, but it was a real delight to read her interview with such a name as SM. Still best known from Green Wing, he's now the star of Never Better. I think one of my favourite bits from the interview was where Stephen mentioned a friend who

Alright, not actual bona fide Richard Dawkins-baiting miracles, but dear lord - the stuff the Cirque Du Soleil cast pulled out of the bag last night was just...amazing. Like, jaw scraping along the floor amazing. I actually spent a good half an hour with my mouth hanging loosely open like some kind of crap cartoon. I always thought that was a total misnomer and that everyone maintained control
