Introducing the iPhone, a smashing idea in concept with more  technology than you can shake a stick at, but sadly it’s a load of bollocks.


New Look, Look Again.

Okay, think of New Look and you think of fourteen year old girls trying to dress like they’re legal, girls called Chantelle and dodgy innuendo t-shirts of the FCUK variety. With Topshop becoming more  high fashion every season, H&M still appealing to the euro-chic corner of the market, and even Primark coming up from the rear New Look needed the style to support their neon signs to avoid being left out in the high street wasteland resembling Topshop’s chavy and not always cheaper relative.


The Passion of Stewart Lee

No matter what medium he has chosen to work in, Stewart Lee has  been dogged by controversy. In the 1998 he and Richard Herring found a cult audience with ‘This Morning With Richard Not Judy’, but the show was cancelled after falling out of favour with the BBC hierarchy. Seven years later, the BBC had forgiven him enough to televise the musical that he had written with the composer Richard Thomas, ‘Jerry Springer – The Opera’. They received 55,000 complaints prior to the show even being broadcast, due to claims of blasphemy and ridiculing Jesus, not to mention profanity due to it’s reported 8,000 obscenities. Stand-up comedy is perhaps his most natural habitat, and his latest work combines this with his new-found love of theatre. “It’s called ‘What Would Judas Do?’ and it’s sort of me being Judas for an hour talking about the last week of his life and why he did what he did.”


Religion

 Fatima Manji and Laura Parfitt argue about religion and whether one should believe in it or not.
