4 d. ago Borthwick rips up script with move to hybrids that could lead to Pollock on wing

4 d. ago ‘I spoke complete twaddle for four minutes’: Meera Syal, Larry Lamb and more on the terror of stage fright

Forget Halloween! Real scares can happen to actors any night of the year. Big name actors, including Zachary Hart and Harmony Rose-Bremner, recall their worst moments – and how they overcame their fearsDerek Jacobi had a bout of it during a world tour of Hamlet.

Dolly Mixture’s singer and bassist looks back on their time chasing mainstream success and facing down outrageous sexismThe Cambridge post-punk band Dolly Mixture were an all-girl trio who formed at school and mixed rambunctious self-penned songs such as Will He Kiss Me Tonight? and Been Teen with covers of 60s girl group hits.

That would turn out to be their career peak. Just two years later, having failed to have any hits of their ow...
