Theatre
The show has suddenly become quite wonderful, and the galvanising factor is the terrific stage debut of Melanie C
Blood Brothers
Music
The British pop music industry may be eating itself but if Muse are the pick of what it can offer the world in 2010 then British music is in rude health indeed

I was smitten by both Gilberts enormous luxuriant moustache and the intelligence and nuance of this highly entertaining play
I totally recommend Babbo to anyone who is looking for really good and traditional Italian food
Always been a fan but never seen them live. I was ecstatic to be part of this epic event. WOW!

Created by intercutting home movies, filmed by the director's father Yash and by relatives back in India on Super-8 cameras, I For India becomes an intimate and revealing portrait of clashing cultures and beliefs, and an extended family struggling to adjust to new customs.
Country: UK. 2005. 70mins
The bittersweet documentary is based on 40 years of journal footage
In 1965, Yash Pal Suri left India for the UK. He then bought two Super 8 cameras, two projectors and two reelto-reel recorders.
One set he sent to his family in India, the other he kept for himself. They exchanged images for some 40 years - but his planned return did not go well and the close-knit family gradually tore itself apart.
Sandhya Suri's documentary is about cultural identity, family obligations and whether you can ever belong quite where you think if you leave one continent for another.
The film is intriguing, moving and relevant. It's a bit scrappy at times perhaps, but the lack of slickness often does it a favour.
