» Swanning Around: Getting physical

Alison Swann has a hot date with gym and finds she needs plenty of time to recover


I am not a natural inhabitant of the gym. Well who is? It is not natural to stand around in Lycra pulling heavy things or running on a road to nowhere. But then nor is air travel and lots of people seem perfectly happy to do that.
So, seeing as my most over-developed muscle – my tongue – got me into this situation, I summoned up the courage to face the fact that I was going to spend one whole hour with a personal trainer. It’s all part of my preparation for the 54 miles of the London to Brighton cycle ride. Read the rest of this article »

» Man on a Mission: Linguistic lunacy

Will Harris tries a bit of ‘bi’ on holiday, and fails miserably…


I’m sitting al fresco in Barcelona’s historic Gothic Quarter, giving the plate in front of me a suitably gothic expression. The reason? Mussels.
I’m not talking about the good kind, the kind that come attached to men with big arms and are best served in a tight T-shirt. The other kind: tiny, pursed devils that lurk at the bottom of the sea and are best served at the opposite end of the restaurant from me. Read the rest of this article »

» The Train Strain

Seann Walsh finds the trauma of train travel is not helped by the existence of other people


I spend most of my life on trains, going to London, or the Midlands, or Berkshire, or Wales, or the North, or any part of the country that isn’t home. The North is the worst of these. Not only is it the grimmest, full of people who sound as if they want to kill themselves, but look as if they’ve killed someone else; it is also the furthest away, which means more time on trains, which means more delays, more toilets that don’t work, more rail replacement buses, and so on, and so on, and so on.

» A View From The Bridge Interview

Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Hayley Atwell talk to Andrew Kay about A View From The Bridge

Whilst Ken Stott gives a breathtaking performance as Eddie in Arthur Miller’s A View From The Bridge, it is brilliantly underpinned by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Hayley Atwell. The roles are complex, demanding and without them being utterly convincing Stott would be operating in an emotional void.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
