Hello! Louis again, with the Independent Culture newsletter. I hope you've all had a lovely week.
It's been a big week of watercooler TV, one of those weeks where everybody seems to be watching and discussing the same thing: that episode of Cheers season four where Frasier gets engaged to Jennifer Tilly. No? Just me? I'm being facetious; I am of course referring to The Traitors, the BBC reality series that launched its celebrity edition on Wednesday. Several of my co-workers can't seem to get enough of it, or indeed of the perennially daft Alan Carr.
There's also Strictly Come Dancing, which seems to have shrugged off the neverending scandal cycle to return for its latest iteration. Helen Coffey spoke to contestant Alex Kingston for a brilliant interview, in which the star opened up for the first time about being diagnosed with womb cancer last year.
In terms of films, One Battle After Another is still very much the best option if you're looking to go to the cinema... To be fair, it faces pretty paltry competition in the form of Jared Leto sequel Tron: Ares, which Clarisse Loughrey has branded "the year's worst film".
Been a few other really good interviews this week, including Jude Rogers's chat with Rufus Wainwright, Adam White's meeting with disco maven Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Ellie Muir's pow-wow with King Princess. I myself spoke to Sean Ono Lennon about his parents, the Beatles, and their history of activism.
More below, as ever.
Kindest regards,
