US television host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel recently invited guests on his ABC chatshow to read out cruel or obnoxious tweets directed at them. Justin Bieber, Kristen Stewart, Katy Perry and Matt LeBlanc are among the celebrities who gamely try and turn the other cheek as they quote the fevered abuse of the general public…
Mary Tamm, stage and screen actress best-known for her portrayal of Romana in Doctor Who, has died aged 62.
This is a video about being creative. There’s no earthly way of describing it beyond that without recourse to psychotropic drugs. We could talk about the animation, or the song, or why green isn’t a creative colour, but it would be as pointless as trying to light a fire with an icicle. Just click ‘play’ … >
Carly Rae Jepsen’s ubiquitous hit single has been reinterpreted by everyone from the cast of Star Wars to the President of the United States, but this is the best yet: a heartfelt paean to the buttery biscuit-based snacks that are his raison d’etre from Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster. ‘You’ve got cookie,’ he growls plaintively. ‘Share … >
Partridge and Bond go together like lager, gin and Baileys in a Ladyboy cocktail. One is an all-time national hero, a cultural icon whose prowess with the ladies is only matched by his beyond-the-call-of-duty dedication to Great Britain, and the other is a fictional spy played by Sean Connery and Roger Moore.

None of the various animated Batman series will ever seem … >
In The Dark Knight Rises, we’re introduced to an older Batman than we’ve seen previously, one closing in on middle-age with the weight of the world – or Gotham City, anyway – on his shoulders. But what happens afterwards? Do superheroes continue to do good past pensionable age or do they give it up and … >
If there’s one film considered to be an unmitigated disaster in the distinguished history of big screen Batman, it’s the famously campy and horrendously awful pile of bat-cack that is 1997’s Batman & Robin. If you like your Dark Knight all grim and brooding, like Christian Bale, or sensitive and brooding, like Michael Keaton, or … >
It’s all going so well. You’re cruising in a supercar, you’re dressed as Batman, and nobody knows your real name is Lenny. Then a passing law enforcement officer notices that you’ve got bat symbols instead of licence plates and decides to pull you over, and it all starts to go horribly wrong. ‘You can send … >
