  • Summary

  • As the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness draws in, we poke the embers of this week’s rock and roll bonfire and rake out the following chestnuts …

    … Maggie Smith on ‘70s chat shows.

    … when Radiohead meets Shakespeare.

    … the strange, circuitous and downright disgraceful launch of Francis Ford Coppola’s majestically bonkers Megalopolis.

    … Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter: the slow ascent of two ‘overnight sensations’.

    … is it big events anymore or just a low-level hum of distraction?

    … Bryan Ferry as an interpreter: why we love his clubby renditions of Dylan, Amy, Frank, Elvis, Broadway ballads and old sea shanties.

    … Movies In Waiting no 97: Butlin’s, skiffle, Hamburg and Ian Hunter’s 26-year clamber to the top.

    ... can any film still have instant world impact?

    … the unsettling structure of the Graham Norton show.

    … Simon Raymonde’s dad’s oceanic jazz adventure, 1949.

    … plus birthday guest Matthew North sees Wayne Rooney doing Ring Of Fire at a Plymouth open mic night.
