Duke of York’s Picturehouse host a grand red carpet screening of new film Public Enemies

Gangster stories have always been a source for amazing films, from James Cagney in Angels with Dirty Faces to Robert De Niro in Goodfellas. Director Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral) is the modern day master of the genre and he brings to life one of the most iconic bank robbers that ever lived: John Dillinger.

» Markus Zusak interview – The Book Thief

Write Club talks to Markus Zusak about The Book Thief, which gripped Brighton and Hove during City Reads


How do you feel about the concept of a whole city reading your book? (I have seen people reading The Book Thief in the theatre, on the bus and in the laundrette.)
It’s exciting and nerve-wracking simultaneously. There’s a part of you that loves the idea of seeing someone reading your book, but then there’s another part that dreads seeing them yawn or put it down… I’ve never seen anyone reading my book, but if I did, I’d definitely want it to be in a laundrette.

» Paddy Ashdown interview

Paddy Ashdown spoke to Ralph Miller about his highs, lows and why he couldn’t work for Gordon Brown

Victoria Nangle chats to comic, TV presenter, radio writer, sports fan and romantic Geoff Norcott


Geoff Norcott is watching the cricket. He’s at the England Versus West Indies Test Match and he’s taken five minutes out to talk to me.

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

» Artists Open Houses

AOH Special: It’s Festival time in Brighton & Hove, which means the Artists Open Houses have opened their doors for another year! Maps of all the trails can be picked up across the city. We love nothing better than browsing and buying arts and crafts, and there is so much going on throughout May that we’ve made it easier by bringing the Artists Open Houses to you! We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
