    Bacon off the menu for Peppa Pig family show in Grimsby. A theatre has agreed to remove bacon and sausages from its café menu during a production featuring Peppa Pig. Grimsby Auditorium said it made the decision "as a considerate gesture" following a request from an animal rights charity. The theatre said it was committed to continually reviewing and enhancing its menu offerings, and would be removing all pork products during performances of Peppa Pig's Big Family Show on 3 and 4 March.

    “Julie Christie & her new leading man John Hurt, 28, speed over the Lake of Geneva”. Promo shot from a Sept 1968 campaign for the movie “In Search Of Gregory”, which, in an attempt to catch journo’s attention, explained that “John, from Grimsby, is the son of a clergyman and the brother of a monk”.

    The only consolation here is that audiences roundly rejected that awful Grimsby film. Cohen's comedy is always built on a bedrock of racist and classist caricature, so it's easy to imagine him extending that kind of othering and mean-spirited bullying to other folk on set.

    I just assume that if his rise had happened a few years earlier he'd have added an Irish character to his roster of regressive stereotypes. I hope this new film flops so hard it makes his Brothers Grimsby movie seem like an Avatar sequel.

    This, and it infects the style of the movie entirely. We could see the difference straight away in 1986, and the combat movie cliches caused spluttering audience laughter at the screenings I attended, first in Grimsby and then in Cambridge. Everyone loved it, but the archness stuck out unavoidably.
