Robert Glenister interview: ‘Many men of a certain age feel let down by the system’

In the past few years, whenever a psychological thriller or a crime drama was shown on TV, Robert Glenister has found himself having a minor crisis. “I’d think: ‘Why am I not in this show? What’s the problem?’ And then I realise that everyone on screen is 45 or younger. And I go: ‘Oh of course! I’m 64!’.” The easygoing star of two of the BBC’s best...

Ignore the critics – Kevin Costner’s three-hour western is a must-watch

Good news! Remember the film everyone keeps begging Hollywood to make? The one that returns to old-fashioned values of layered storytelling and real-world spectacle?

Patti Smith review – utterly transformed by the power of music

Four songs into her set, Patti Smith starts to cry: “First tears of the tour!” she sighs, wiping her eyes. They’re occasioned by the sound of the audience singing along to her 1978 track Ghost Dance, a sound you would assume she’s heard before in the years since she wrote it. Perhaps in Brighton they are even more reverential than those Smith usually faces, 60 years on from her debut single. The first but not the last loud scream of “I love you...
