The Spy Who Came in from the Cold Soho Place
John le Carré's novel of cold-blooded Cold War espionage gets a propulsive, reassuringly old-fashioned staging from writer David Eldridge and director Jeremy Herrin. Anchored by Rory Keenan's harried performance as alcoholic spy-runner Alec Leamas, cajoled into one last job after his best agent is murdered in Berlin, it's full of men striding around in overcoats and pouring angry drinks in shabby postwar rooms.

Ramsay's top dog conquers Le Gavroche
Food is the great stirrer of memory. Madeleines for Proust, toad in the hole for me. It follows that restaurants are vehicles of a kind, both Concordes and DeLoreans: they take us across the world, but also through time. Pubs summoning the splendour of the Victorians; wine bars that recall Paris in the 1950s; brasseries with a touch of 1960s cool. Rarely, though, are the early-2000s exhumed, as in Bonheur. “Ah, the great mediocrity of the Noughties,” I didn’t think. “Thank God someone’s brought it back.”

London has the biggest backlog in England and Wales, with some cases in Croydon Crown Court listed as far ahead as 2029. And it is not an abstract failure. It is a human tragedy unravelling in slow motion, day after day, case after case.
