Ruby Grimshaw gets down on the Farm

I went to watch a very unusual theatre company, The Rude Mechanicals, in Seaford last week. It is difficult to describe their performance – a mixture of energetic pantomime, farce, outrageous characters, rude jokes and double entendres – but they are unquestionably an extremely gifted bunch. A couple of years ago they put on a wonderful farce based on Enid Blyton’s Famous Five and this year’s production, Gentle Harry’s Farm, was no less hilarious.

Ruby Grimshaw has an adventure in Borneo

While I did enjoy my Indonesian holiday enormously, the one thing I was very glad to see again when I arrived back home was a lavatory seat. I know it is very good to crouch over a hole in the ground (apparently Far Eastern women have less incontinence and constipation problems than women in the West) but I did find using a ladle and a bucket of brown river water made me long to see that puppy carrying a loo roll.

Ruby Grimshaw looks back on her time in Borneo

It has taken me several days to come down from my visit to Borneo. I am completely orangutaned out. When I say that I was reading the same book on the plane back as the one I had started when flying out, and that the large bottle of gin L and I bought in Dubai was hardly touched at the end of the two weeks, it will give you some idea of how action packed this ‘holiday’ was.

Ruby Grimshaw gets excited about the Olympics

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

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.
