Made In Chelsea returns once more, and finally Spencer Matthew has seen it fit to visit a psychiatrist.

THE BIG READS
Birgitte Hjort Sorensen will play Virgilia, wife of military victor-turned-political leader Coriolanus, in a production featuring Tom Hiddleston in the title role.
Despite being killed off in the last 007 film Skyfall, the actress, has threatened to place a photo of herself on set to haunt Ralph Fienes who replaces her as spy chief.
As the show is about to embark on its third series in the UK, Lina Das gets a sneak peek on set in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Jodie Whittaker plays an executive PA who becomes the perfect foil for the marvellously bumbling title character - played with wit and big-screen charm by Charlie Cox.
The 22-year-old actor, who stars alongside Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman in the film about a real-life World War II hero, refused to fake the torture technique which makes it feel like the victim is drowning.
REVIEWS
FILM
My wife and I are about to go to Paris for three days, and I’m not sure that seeing Le Week-End was the ideal preparation.
A flight attendant serially unlucky in love looks for a husband, but doesn’t see that the best catch is under her nose.
Here comes the story of WikiLeaks to start a whole new wave of tremors.
The most tragic tale imaginable, from the greatest wordsmith in the English language.
Meg Rosoff’s novel about a teenager struggling to survive in the aftermath of nuclear war was a big hit with readers, but director Kevin Macdonald mishandles it.
By the end, a film that seemed as if it was going to be a kind of grim masterpiece becomes yet another insult to our intelligence.

ELIZA DOOLITTLE
In Your Hands (Parlophone)
Once dubbed the new Lily Allen, the one-time Eliza Caird returns with a surprisingly mature second album. Recent single Big When I Was Little harks back to the fizz of her self-titled 2011 debut, but the swirling Let It Rain and the sublime No Man Can are more representative of a developing talent, showcasing a sultry voice equally at home on piano-based soul tracks and heartbreak ballads.

PEARL JAM
Lightning Bolt (Monkey Wrench)
Album number 10 finds the Seattle grunge warriors still thundering away like a gang of young punks. Eddie Vedder's gruff vocals might not be to everyone's taste, but the guitars of Mike McCready and Stone Gossard sweep all before them on Getaway and the title track. The softer, reflective numbers are even more impressive, with Sirens and Future Days adding a pleasantly poppy edge to all that hard rocking.

JOHN NEWMAN
Tribute (Island)
A bequiffed young hunk from the Yorkshire Dales, singer and bandleader John Newman has already topped the singles charts twice and this debut reiterates that his blue-eyed soul voice is up there with the best. Think Justin Timberlake meets Roland Gift of the Fine Young Cannibals. His songs add a modern sheen to the driving beats of northern soul and Sixties R&B.; Love Me Again is one of the tracks of the year.

ANNA CALVI
One Breath (Domino)
Two years ago, Anna Calvi earned a deserved Mercury Prize nomination for her melodramatic debut album. This sequel lacks some of that early fire, but its greater variety suggests the London singer and guitarist is here to stay. Opening track Suddenly rekindles the euphoric spirit of old, but most of these songs explore more vulnerable emotional terrain. Sing To Me is an atmospheric homage to opera star Maria Callas.

ARCTIC MONKEYS
AM (Domino)
Exceptional at the iTunes Festival this week, Arctic Monkeys have lost their spiky edge, but this more mature album is their best yet. With Alex Turners Yorkshire croon and incisive lyrics to the fore, a diverse set mixes funk, cinematic moods and heavy but catchy rock. And Turner leaps confidently from the lovesick blues of No. 1 Party Anthem to the Smiths-like stomp of I Want It All.

ELTON JOHN
The Diving Board (Virgin EMI)
Eltons renaissance continues on an album which strips his sound down to rolling keyboards, powerful vocals and Bernie Taupins warm-hearted lyrics. Opening track Oceans Away sets a simple yet sensitive tone by harking back to his piano-driven hits of the 1970s. A Town Called Jubilee is a honky-tonk soul number fuelled by the percussion block that was used on Marvin Gayes Whats Going On.

GOLDFRAPP
Tales Of Us (Mute)
Shunning the throbbing electronics that were once their calling card, Goldfrapp decamped to the countryside to cut this beautiful sixth album. Alison Goldfrapps crystal-clear vocals and eerie character sketches give her lyrics substance. Will Gregorys soaring strings and humming guitars owe something to film composer John Barry.

MDNA World Tour (Interscope CD/DVD)

Beneath the exhibitionist poses, she remains the complete performer, and this is inventive and accomplished. Like A Virgin doesnt work as a piano waltz, but she is in fine voice on Hung Up and Like A Prayer.
