Some taut bare buttocks, a pair of star-crossed lovers, a face-off with a raging elephant and a climax featuring the grandest of coronations... No, not the latest season of Game Of Thrones but highlights from the first few episodes of The Crown. From streaming giant Netflix. ...read

TOM PARKER BOWLES ON FOOD
The 12-course tasting menu at this Henley hotspot proves Tom can have... too much of a good thing
Despite the presence of a 12-course tasting menu, Orwells (which has just won The Good Food Guide's Restaurant of the Year), doesn't suffer from that thin-lipped, overblown smuggery often found in places in thrall to stars. Chefs Ryan Simpson and Liam Trotman offer a la carte. But today, for some strange reason, I feel ready to tackle the tyranny of the tasting menu. These lads can cook. This restaurant rocks. ...read
OLLY SMITH ON WINE
Don't stick to Shiraz ...because if you love bold deep reds, there are other autumn warmers to light your fire
Shiraz is a firebrand of a grape thanks to its smokey warming splendour. It's great to pour at this time of year with the scent of autumn bonfires hanging in the air and manages to deliver a sense of portable insulation with every sip. If this kind of bold deep red lights your fire, grab a poker and rummage through the embers of these warming alternatives. ...read

Wired for sound (not!): Motorola's Verve Ones+ headphones are completely wireless - and the paired app means they are idiot proof
Motorola's Verve Ones+ offer wire-free Bluetooth listening (for either iPhone or Android) - and a useful bit of idiot-proofing in the form of a warning system that shows you exactly where you lost them. The tiny headphones pair with an app that maps where you are and tells you when you lose Bluetooth connection - so if you wander away from them, you can see (to within 20 feet) where the disaster occurred. This is no help when you're trying to work out whether they are buried under a pile of rubbish on your desk, but it's a start. ...read
CHRIS EVANS ON CARS
Where Eagle dares: Who'd dream up a car this breathtaking? Answer: a fan with £850,000 to spare
The Eagle Spyder GT is a creation so beautiful and perfectly proportioned I could look at it for the rest of my life. It is a car of two halves, the futuristic and smoothed-down front half of a Series 1 married to the rear half of an audacious, retro-lightweight E-Type at the back. But that's only the headlines. There are nips and tucks and subtle flares all over the shop. ...read
PIERS MORGAN: MY LIFE & OTHER CELEBRITIES
'Theresa May's ability to talk about Brexit, scones and shoes shows a strong woman at ease with her position'
It's fine for women to mock male politicians such as Boris or Trump for their hair, or male TV political journalists like Jon Snow and Robert Peston for their ties and scarves. You can't have it all ways, ladies. ...read

The banter of the opera: Michael Ball and Alfie Boe on hanging out with Kate Middleton, singing whilst on drugs...and why they both hate opera!
