On Stage Mishaps Here I’ll be putting two stories into one tiny little segment, because I’m mad like that. Also in a way they’re both kind of non-stories and by pushing them together I’m trying to get one decent story out of it. STORY THE FIRST is that Dave Grohl, ‘rocker’ best known for his work with the ‘Foo Fighters’ or, if you’re my dad, ‘the Foos’, broke his actual leg on stage in Gothenburg last week. Technically it was...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent Seven in ten Brits admit they aren’t happy with their home, new research has revealed, with size and location coming out as big factors but décor topping the list. The study found millions of Brits are living in homes we dislike, with more than 20 per cent saying they completely hate where they live.

By Felicity Evans @eff_evans HBO’s stylish and compelling cop drama returns to Sky Atlantic on 22 June with a fresh story and new characters… ‘Well, I can't say the job made me this way. More like bein' this way made me right for the job’ Detective Rustin Cohle (Matthew McConaughey), True Detective Of all the justified praise heaped on True Detective’s first season for the quality of its acting, photography, dialogue and setting, surely most significant is the show’s...
