She talks kindred spirits, social media and trying to channel a ‘mad storm of grief’The late Billie Whitelaw, whom Samuel Beckett considered “a perfect actress”, was on stage in the middle of rehearsals one day when she asked the playwright: “Where should I be looking?” To which Beckett replied: “Inwards.”Hearing this story, another Billie – the teen pop star turned Doctor Who companion and Olivier award-winning powerhouse Billie Piper – lets out a laugh so raucous and expansive, it is as if a flock of gaily coloured birds has been released into the room, flapping and squawking in every corner. “Fuck, that’s awesome,” she says. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/nov/13/billie-piper-women-industry-elsinore-oscar-buzz">Continue reading...</a>

Burly TV presenter who brought his building knowledge and power tools to the BBC’s gardening makeover show Ground ForceTommy Walsh, who has died aged 69, brought decking and pergolas, as well as rippling muscles and a brusque manner, to the BBC gardening show Ground Force, alongside Alan Titchmarsh and Charlie Dimmock. The trio transformed gardens for members of the public in just two days, and the programme (which ran from 1997 until 2005) made the burly 6ft 5in Walsh a star after years running his own building and landscaping business. “People want textures, shapes and surfaces in the garden that you wouldn’t get from planting alone,” he said.Armed with a power drill, sledgehammer and a host of other tools, he did the back-breaking landscaping work before Titchmarsh, the gardener and broadcaster, and Charlie Dimmock, a garden centre worker, moved in to do the planting. Homeowners would go away and return to find the results of the surprise makeover, organised clandestinely by family members or friends; many were delighted, some less so. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/nov/12/tommy-walsh-obituary">Continue reading...</a>

The latest film version of the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol is decent enough, though its star is rather better as the legendary miser before redemption arrivesHere for lovers of Dickens – and fans of subtext – is an unexpectedly watchable new movie version of A Christmas Carol starring a top-hatted and heavily madeup Johnny Depp; it is a film about whether it’s possible for a man to earn redemption before it is too late. (The answer is … sure, as long as you say sorry and change your ways. But Mr Scrooge never <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/nov/02/johnny-depp-loses-libel-case-against-sun-over-claims-he-beat-ex-wife-amber-heard">launched a libel action against the Sun</a> for calling him an un-Christmassy old meanie.)In fact, screenwriter Nathaniel Halpern and director Ti West have put together a perfectly serviceable, faithful adaptation – a tradaptation, if you will – of Dickens’s masterpiece about the hideous old miser saved from damnation on Christmas Eve by the appearance of three Christmas ghosts, from yuletides past, present and future. It sticks to the accepted narrative beats and more or less all the familiar episodes, but with a few twists. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/nov/12/ebenezer-review-johnny-depp-scrooge-dickens">Continue reading...</a>
