TV review: Maestro at the Opera

Where has all the laughter disappeared to in the BBC’s upper-class X Factor? One of the TV comedy highlights of 2008 was Peter Snow, who states he adores classical music, attempting to conduct an orchestra.

He demonstrated no talent or understanding for Prokofiev, whose Dance of the Knights he left not just dead but horrifically dismembered. It was a joy.

Rewind Radio: The Official Chart; The Media Show; Recycled Radio – review

The first Official Chart to use visuals was a strange and exciting affair The Official Chart (Radio 1) | iPlayer The Media Show (Radio 4) | iPlayer Recycled Radio (Radio 4) | iPlayer I got a sneak preview of the new central London home of the BBC last week. Very nice, though too many “playful” neon banquettes for my taste. Anyhow, it’s worth noting that the penthouse level, the swankiest du swank, of this new building has been reserved for Radio 1. At the moment, Radio 1 is housed in a tall but little building that – for a station ...

Room 101 – review

Room 101 is not quite ready to be consigned to Room 101 yet, writes Sam Wollaston The broadcaster Danny Baker is like a suicide bomber. How so? Because one of the things he tries to send to Room 101 (BBC2) is “panel shows with bottom-of-the-bill comedians where halfway witted people are pretending to find things funny”. Whoa! Room 101 in other words, surely? The show has only just come back after a four-year sabbatical, and he is trying to do for it, from the inside. It’s like he is ripped off his coat, and there it all is, strapped on and ...

Sade in concert: On the scene

I’ve never seen so many people fill a venue so huge to see so little. But then again, Sade’s tiny is a lot. Last Friday (June 24) the band, led by veteran British Nigerian songstress Sade Adu, stopped at New Jersey’s Izod Center. She surfaced from beneath the stage just after 9pm, in a sheer black shirt, matching pants and heels, and bathed in purple lighting, to sing her last album’s title track, “Soldier of Love.” To pack a venue as massive as the Izod, one might think that there would be more to Sade than what the audience got ...
