While fantasy has its highbrow-ish writers, it has always had something of an image problem.
'I do not want you to like me,' says Dominic Cooper's Earl of Rochester in his prologue to Stephen Jeffreys' moderately funny, exceptionally filthy but ultimately flawed play.
When the Roundhouse landed Britney Spears, who seldom leaves Las Vegas, it seemed like a coup. But while you can take the star out of Vegas, it's not so easy to shake Vegas out of the star.
Watching his new film, Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children, you do wonder whether Tim Burton, its eccentric but rightly celebrated director, is getting to the cinema enough these days.

The Quo Vadis smoked eel sandwich is one of the capital's great creations, the culinary equivalent of that Raymond Chandler blonde, a blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window.
