" Actually, the BBC does more for Britain at home than and welfare service; and more for the nation abroad than the FO. 3. Has anyone actually seen the nonsense and rubbish that Murdoch's media outlets publish abroad? He may do a few quality things (The Times) but by and large it is unadulterated drivel. 4. Public broadcasters are needed to st the standard - which they generally do. Occasionally they go haywire, but they set a better, higher standard more frequently than the commercial...

Kubrick's classic adaptation of Anthony Burgess' 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange offers a more stylized and poetic dissertation on the violent side of human nature ...

His father was a manual labourer and his devout Irish mother, who died young, gave him her philosophy of believing the best in people.

As a teenager this meant haunting the fleapit at inner-city Hulme and sneaking into the porn cinema at nearby Bolton. During one of his... (Sydney Morning Herald -- Entertainment)

The show he's bringing to Mardi Gras is tamer but chances are that when he applies his lung power and performing nerve to characters and tunes from Hedwig And The Angry...
