" Juggernaut " ( Richard Lester , 1974) With the letting loose of the whirlwind that is " 2012 " this week, I thought I'd pay homage to a neglected, but sterling example of the "Disaster Movie"—the modestly budgeted, very smart " Juggernaut ." Made in the shock-wave of such star-culling epics as " Airport ," " The Poseidon Adventure ,"...

Adapting crime fiction into successful television is a task that demands a great deal of skill. This is all the more so when you are talking about humorous crime fiction. Humour on the page doesn’t always translate effectively on to the screen – and humorous television can also become dated very quickly. With this in mind, I started watching my new box set of Murder Most English with a...

As everyone has learned from spending two months playing “Beatles: Rock Band” non-stop, there was no group quite like the Fab Four. As they moved like a Jedi lightsaber through the Sith tummy that was the music industry, things that people had always taken for granted were changed forever. Records were shattered, budgets were increased, the hits kept coming and no one ever missed a bonus!...

A friend managed to get tickets to see Jimmy Webb at Union Chapel last night, which by the way is one of the most beautiful venues in London (it's an old church in Islington). The whole thing came as a bit of a surprise to me and I didn't really know much about Jimmy Webb, other than my mate being very keen to see him and convinced I'd like him. Well, Mr Webb's well worth investigating further. He's...

To the Queens Hall to see the composer of By The Time I Get To Phoenix , Wichita Lin e man, Galveston and Macarthur Park (not to mention Up Up and Away ). Support was from Martin Carr, best described as "Mostly Harmless". Webb himself sat at his piano in front of a seven-piece band, four of whom were his sons. For a recovered alcoholic who was a worldwide success when I was barely a teenager,...

Becoming a ghost usually involves major change in one’s life. It doesn’t happen every day. For me the call came in May 2009. A name I recognised appeared in the subject line of an email from a friend. I thought it might be a joke. The more momentous the event, it seems, the more one is tempted to see it lightly, to discount it as unlikely. It’s a form of self-preservation, I suppose....

Just an update on two more suggestions for actors to play Darcy and Elizabeth: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison when they're older and Audrey Hepburn with Richard Harris when they were younger *** Well, all good things must come to an end (sniff). I've very much enjoyed our month-long exploration of Pride and Prejudice, and was delighted that we had so many diverse opinions. I got to know some of...

Wes Jackson, founder of the Land Institute, at his farm in Salina, Kan. Richard Harris From NPR: We tend to think Earth can provide us with an endless bounty of food. But farming practices in most parts of the world can't work forever. Soil is constantly washing away, and what's left is gradually losing the nutrients it needs to sustain our crops. In the prairies of Kansas lives Wes Jackson, a man...

Since rehearsals started, back in September, I have been trying to model Parris on memories of Richard Harris in Cromwell. Particularly the voice, which I have a stronger memory of. I think we watched the film at school, probably in history and I remember enjoying it greatly. Not for its educational value, which in hindsight doesn't really explain that Cromwell and his peers fought for the 'new money'...
