An early John Constable painting incorrectly attributed to two other artists is set to sell for £3 million after emerging for the first time in decades. ‘Dedham Vale with the River Stour in Flood’ has been described as “without question one of the most exciting and important” Constable paintings to be rediscovered in half-a-century. The landscape, painted from the grounds of Old Hall, East Bergholt, Suffolk, shows a herd of cows grazing in front of the flooded countryside. But it...

A budding artist is creating masterpieces on the muddy surfaces of white VANS up and down the country. Ricky Minns, 42, who goes by the name of Ruddy Muddy, spruces up vans in need of a wash by drawing works of art with his fingers. His most recognisable designs are those of Prince Harry, Leonardo Di Vinci's Mona Lisa, Prime Minster Teresa May, and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Ricky said: "My little one told me that I'd never be a...

I've deliberately left the first two names you'd think of off this list. Spinal Tap and The Blues Brothers are, of course, the gold standard of movie bands, but they seemed such obvious picks that I wanted to use those two slots for other bands. Josie and the Pussycats: Josie and the Pussycats Josie and the Pussycats have had several different incarnations, in comics, animation and now on Netflix's Riverdale, but it's the version from the criminally underrated 2001 film...

Well, even if you remember the hit US sitcom staring Frankie Muniz as Malcolm, the actor has revealed how concussions and strokes have led to memory loss. In fact, he revealed that he hardly remembers appearing in the...

The 12th century story of King Arthur and his gallant knights is complex, frustrating, and fraught with contradictions and impossibilities. Very few of the names and events recorded in these chronicles exist in the historical record, and so the text represents a huge historical crossword puzzle that is almost impossible to crack. But how can we derive an answer for two-down in this puzzle, if we have not discovered the solution for five-across? Arthurian history is traditionally set in the...

17.10.17 Village Underground, London Support: Klein Liverpool's Forest Swords swung through the capital last week to deliver an atmospheric wave of experimental electronic. The caverns of the Village Underground were illuminated by Matthew Barnes' searing projections, as two planes of light cut through the gloom, silhouetting the figures on stage. Visually moody and sonically jarring, Barnes' work on 2017's Compassion twinkles particularly brightly tonight.   Photos: Grant Bailey

It's official - 37 is the age when men start 'dad dancing', a study found. Research into the phenomenon pinpointed the age the nation's fathers cease to look cool on the dancefloor and become embarrassing instead. It also identified Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees as the ultimate dad dancing song - followed by Hot Chocolate's You Sexy Thing and Waterloo by Abba. Beyoncé's Single Ladies was a surprise entry in the top 40. The YMCA, Night Fever and air...
