Judy Wearing has spent much of her life studying our follicles. She explains how our armpits betray our emotions, why some gentlemen really do prefer blondes and the reason we evolved to have eyebrows As a PhD student at Oxford studying mating behaviour, Judy Wearing was suddenly struck by a thought: what was the purpose of pubic hair? The point of armpit hair? The function of each of our body’s furry patches? When the published literature failed to produce satisfying answers, Wearing began her own investigation. Her aim was to shed light on why exactly we evolved these particular patches, with pubic hair the most puzzling of all: was it for warmth, protection … or something else? Wearing is still tangling with those questions, some 30 years after her student days. Now an author and editor (largely in the education sector), she has revisited her fascination with hair in Anxious and Hairy

Two Devon neighbours face off over the future of the countryside in this warm, wry documentary about farming, conservation and some troublesome wild boar This ebulliently accessible but never tacky British documentary finds a delightfully sneaky way to explore debates around environmental damage, agriculture and the countryside without ever being preachy, dry or patronising. The trick is to find engaging characters who happen to have opposing points of view, and while by the end most viewers would reckon that the pro-environmentalists pretty much win the argument, the conservative element of the farming community gets to have its say and make its case, earning sympathy in the process for a way of life that is itself endangered, albeit partly because of its own self-destructive practices.

‘SAME FILM – DIFFERENT TRUTH’ is the marketing solution for the film’s poor reception by critics. Or, as Cruise says in the ad, ‘Fuck those people!’ ‘You know what? Fuck those people!” The speaker is Tom Cruise in his serious-fatsuit role of Digger, in the bold new online ad which gives the finger to his film’s bad reviews and the haters. His words are now repurposed to address loathsome critics. The ad’s message is that a provocative, passionate film like this is divisive. You should make your own mind up. Which is true of course. Although it is just as true for films getting across-the-board raves. The last movie to try this was Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis: it too ran an ad campaign rebranding the existence of bad reviews (though like Digger it also had plenty of good reviews) as evidence of genius which had yet to be appreciated.

More than half of the countries that track these metrics lost at least 10 percent of the ir electricity in 2023, according to the World Bank. Losses topped 20 percent for 24 of those nations. Two countries lost more than half of what they generated . With numbers this high, c utting down on losses makes sense . Electricity demand is rising beyond what many grid operators can supply ; reducing waste would help meet some of that demand without having to build new power plants . Plus, when the power comes from fossil fuels , any loss means emitting even more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And electric losses hit the bottom lines of power providers,

Toots and the Maytals bass player whose melodic lines drove some of the biggest reggae hits of the 1960s and 70s The bass player Jackie Jackson, who has died aged 79, was one of the cornerstones of Jamaican popular music. In addition to being the bassist in Toots and the Maytals for more than 50 years, Jackson provided substantial and melodic bass lines underpinning some of the most important reggae hits of the 1960s and 70s, helping tracks such as The Israelites by Desmond Dekker , The Liquidator by Harry J Allstars and the Upsetters’ Return of Django reach the UK Top 10 in 1969. Equally inspired by the pumping approach Lloyd Brevett used on his acoustic upright in the Skatalites, and the electric hooks of James Jamerson at Motown, Jackson was also an important part of the rock steady craze that swept Jamaica in the mid-60s.

Alex Gibney’s documentary follows the celebrated author’s life up to and after the attack, but what shines through is Rushdie’s remarkable courage The terrifying, inspiring story of how Salman Rushdie survived and thrived after the assassination attempt on him in New York in 2022 is the subject of this excellent documentary from Alex Gibney.

There are stomach-turningly explicit shots of Rushdie’s damaged eye and also, finally, horrendous scenes of the attack itself.

Amir Bar-Lev’s doc covering competing climbers trying to achieve something that has not been done before uncovers a fascinating tapestry of aspiration and folly During the Covid pandemic in 2021, a “last first” in mountaineering was achieved: the forbidding K2 mountain was scaled in winter for the first time. Amir Bar-Lev’s mountain-climbing doc tells the story of the competing climbers simultaneously hoping to reach the summit, several of whom do not survive the attempt. Far from being the straightforward survival-against-the-odds account that you might expect, this is a microcosm of some of humanity’s more regrettable traits, which rub up alongside each other in fascinatingly thorny ways. To take just one example: the Nepalese push for the summit comes at the cost of sacrificing the chummy camaraderie among the international climbers; but then again, Nepal is a nation rich in indigenou

No spoilers here – TV’s grand illusionist meets his match when he moves in with Theranos founder and her family For anyone remotely near the worlds of documentary, comedy or medical fraud, there has been one thing on the mind for weeks now: a single-minute clip of Nathan Fielder , the absurdist comedian whose boundary-pushing HBO series The Rehearsal cemented his status as docu-reality’s premier auteur, staring into the deep blue eyes of Elizabeth Holmes , the disgraced founder of blood-testing startup Theranos. Unblinking, faces inches apart, the famously dry purveyor of harebrained business schemes and the convicted fraudster appeared locked in a battle of wills. “Are you being real right now?” Fielder asked her, in a classically meta bit – could Fielder really have spent years filming a secret documentary with one of Silicon Valley’s most notorious pariahs?

A trio of shows at Michigan’s Grand Rapids Art Museum humanizes people who are incarcerated and celebrates the resilience of creativity With nearly 2 million people behind bars, America is the global leader in incarceration. When you look at it per capita, we have the highest rate of incarceration of any independent democracy and rank fourth overall in the world, just behind El Salvador, Cuba and Turkmenistan. Despite these troubling numbers, mass imprisonment is largely invisible. “Our carceral system is something we as a society try to separate out from the everyday,” observes Terra Warren, an assistant curator at Grand Rapids Art Museum, Michigan , who alongside curator Jennifer Wcisel brings audiences three solo shows from artists Julie Green, Gary Tyler and Ray Materson. They collectively aim to make us examine more closely just what prisons are doing to our society – and how art ca

Alpine regions in Europe experiencing extreme glacier collapse due to heat-trapping effects of fossil fuel pollution Switzerland has lost almost one-fifth of its ice in just five years, research has found, in a dramatic reshaping of the Alpine country whose big white glaciers have been reduced to moonlike rock deserts, scientists say. Swiss glaciers shrank by 5.5% in the first eight months of 2026, according to an annual monitoring report, after a summer of scorching heatwaves that followed a winter with little snow. The reduction in ice volume falls just shy of the record set in 2022 and brings the total loss of glacier ice since 2021 to 19.4%. Continue reading...

His beloved cat Bella died recently, aged 17, and the indignities of old age mean a new carpet is in order. The other reason is that Burton, AKA Half-Asleep Chris, is turning his dining room into a recreation of London’s Rainforest Cafe (also RIP – it closed in 2023).
