Theatre award ceremonies always celebrate the individual – isn't it time we recognised the collaborative efforts behind stage successes? So, as expected from the shortlist , there are almost no real surprise winners at this year's Evening Standard Theatre Awards : there's Rachel Weisz getting best actress for her performance in Streetcar at the Donmar, and a special award for Sir Ian McKellen...

Went to see this movie this evening with my teens. Yes, it's rated R (or "Arrrrr", if you prefer), due to excessive use of the F-bomb, and for references to sex and drugs. Because it is a movie about off-shore rock-and-roll stations, and nothing goes better with rock 'n' roll than sex and drugs. At least when the movie is set in 1966.

The younger Sturridge plays Carl, a moderately innocent young lad who is foisted upon a boat filled with deviant DJs in 1960s Britain (or more specifically, the North Sea off the coast of Britain). Carl is our eyes and ears. He's discovered the sights and especially sounds of Radio Rock, a pirate radio station pumping the greatest rock and R&B tunes into the country because the BBC won't do it....

According to the beginning of Pirate Radio (aka The Boat That Rocked), in the 1960s, the BBc would only play 2 hours of pop and rock music a week. In the land that gave the world The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, their own citizens weren't able to find a place to listen to it.

Happy Christmas to you all! Has Stephen gone mad? Well, quite possibly, but not in this case. As my Mum and Dad are off to their house in Cyprus for a few months, this weekend I am in Kent celebrating Christmas with the family - including a full Christmas lunch shortly! Not all of the family are here unfortunately, as Pete has taken his Mum to Montpelier for a long weekend for her birthday (you can...

After working with partners Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright to create a successful BBC sitcom ( Spaced ) and two hit feature films ( Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz ), Nick Frost now appears as '60s DJ Doctor Dave in the upcoming Pirate Radio. He's also a charming, soft-spoken Brit, and I encourage you to read this interview with his voice in your head. Your character in this film, Dave, could be quite...
