The Gentle Sex

Viewed today, this drama seems unbearably patronising in its depiction of the contribution made to the war effort by seven socially diverse women who volunteer for service on the same day. But in its day, it served its purpose both as a morale booster and as a recruitment advertisement, thanks to some astute appeals to the patriotic spirit and some spunky acting. The top-notch cast includes Barbara Waring as a catty snob and Lilli Palmer as a timid German immigrant. Sadly, a week after the film was released, its co-director Leslie Howard was killed when his plane was shot down while he was on a secret mission to Portugal.

Heston's Roman Feast

Heston Blumenthal entreats us throughout the preparation of his ancient Roman feast, "Don't try this at home!" Don't worry, Heston, I won't. Fear not, pork scratchings made from pig's nipples, calf's brain custard and ejaculating puddings will never, ever cross my kitchen worktops. You can rely on it. Mind you, it's scintillating to watch Blumenthal work his magic, even if you find yourself gagging from time to time, as do the random members of the public he collars in the street to try his first attempt at brainy custard. Even the addition of rose petals doesn't make it any more appealing, or edible. But Blumenthal's artistry is beyond doubt and his guests, who include a delighted Alexander Armstrong and a beaming Marquess of Bath, are in raptures as course after decadent course arrives at their table. Be prepared for lots of ribaldry, as this is a "theatrical, deviant, orgiastic" feast. You have been warned. Radio Times reviewer - Alison Graham
