Adil Ray has criticised Laurence Fox after the Lewis star compared insults aimed at him as an actor to Ray’s own experiences of racism.
On Sunday (10 April), the Good Morning Britain host – who has been vocal about past experiences in which he was the target of racism – responded to a news story about Essex police seizing racially offensive dolls from a pub.
The dolls, traditionally known as “golli***s”, feature a racist caricature of Black people.
Writing on Twitter, Ray commented: “I was called golliw*** at school. Just hearing the word frightens me. I can’t think of any good reason why someone on balance might think it’s ok to display them in a pub.”
In response, Fox tweeted: “Stay strong bro. I feel your pain. [Theatre critic] Quentin Letts described me as having a face that belonged in the winners enclosure at Aintree in a theatre review once, which,...

How much experience should film critics have in terms of writing, acting, and/or directing? Does it make sense for people with no experience in filmmaking to be film critics? These questions have been on the mind of comedy legend and Monty Python co-founder John Cleese over the last week on social media, where he has started a debate over the necessary qualifications for film critics. Just this week Cleese wrote, “It’s odd that, given [film critics’] inabilities [in acting, directing, or screenwriting], they are then put in judgement over people who can write, direct and act.”
The debate over film critic qualifications started when Cleese observed last week that sports coverage on television has “improved immensely” by hiring former athletes as commentators. Because former athletes have personal experience with the sport they are commentating on, they are able to weigh in more accurately on plays, coaching decisions, and more. Cleese asked his followers, “Could the...

Hello and welcome back to our roundup of news from across the industry. From stage to screens big and small, we’ve got you covered. It’s everything you need to know and all you can’t afford to miss. Bame casting row sparked by agent.Talent agent Gemma Lowy Hamilton sparked a furor on social media last week after saying she was ‘bored of breakdowns asking for Bame actors’. Her post on Facebook went on to suggest that producers were looking to add ‘va va voom to the cast list’ by casting non-white actors and that the policy was putting ‘talented white performer’s [sic] out of work”. After being called out on social media, the Lowy Hamilton Artists agent said she had intended her post to appear on a private forum and apologised for causing offence. She told one Twitter user that she was ‘actually trying to express how...

Hello and welcome back to our roundup of news from across the industry. From stage to screens big and small, we’ve got you covered. It’s everything you need to know and all you can’t afford to miss. Critic made ‘unforgivable racial slur’.Journalist and theatre critic Quentin Letts made an ‘extended and unforgivable racial slur’ against the actor Leo Wringer in his review of the RSC production of ‘The Fantastic Follies of Mr. Rich’. In his Daily Mail review, the well-known critic asked if Leo Wringer was ‘cast because he is black’ and suggested that the RSC were ‘under pressure the Arts Council to tick inclusiveness boxes’. The RSC quickly released a response, saying they were ‘shocked and deeply troubled’ by the suggestion that Wringer was cast because of his ethnicity and that the critic had written an ‘ugly and prejudiced commentary’. Last week Wringer, who has appeared in numerous acclaimed roles,...

The show, that runs from 28th March – 3rd June, sees Baddiel talking frankly about his mother and father, in a way that even the press blurb describes as a “massively disrespectful celebration”.
We chatted to him about the show, and about his recent documentary, The Trouble With Dad. Oh, and we snuck some Statham in there too…
Before we get into the depths of things, can you set the scene. What is your show that you’re bringing back to the London stage?

Kim Cattrall has been coming in for some criticism for her 'Garfield'-like hairpiece on stage in London. Is this really the worst wig of all time?
Critic Mark Shenton suggested she looks "like a cross between Lucille Ball and Marj Proops"; Quentin Letts of the Daily Mail asked, a little ungallantly, "is that Garfield, sat on her head?". The reviews for the London Old Vic's new production of Tennessee Williams's Sweet Bird of Youth have been good, on the whole – but the same can't be said of Kim Cattrall's hairpiece, which Shenton went on to dub "the worst wig".
Which got us thinking: is that (reproduced above in all its Garfield glory) really the most awful wig of all time? Worse than Tommy Lee Jones's roiling, terminally unstable black coils in Lincoln?
Worse than Rory Kinnear's Matted Old-Testament Hermit Hair in The Revenger's Tragedy?

London — Broadway sensation "The Book of Mormon" has landed in London, to a warm reception from theatergoers and mixed notices from critics
Reviewers delivered their verdicts on the show Friday, after an opening night that counted celebrities including "Homeland" star Damian Lewis and Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon among the audience.
The exuberantly profane show by "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and "Avenue Q" composer Robert Lopez tells the story of two Mormon missionaries sent to spread the word in Uganda.
Most critics praised the production's skill and energy, though the Daily Telegraph's Charles Spencer said "its mixture of satire and syrup ultimately proves repellent."
Daily Mail critic Quentin Letts was even less enthusiastic: "I tired of it after 10 minutes."
And the Guardian's Michael Billington judged it "mildly amusing. ... a safe, conservative show for middle America."

UK TV Show 'This Morning' has been forced to apologise after the photographs of the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge were shown today (13.02.13). The ITV show presented the original cover of Italian gossip magazine Chi - which published photographs showing the royal beauty's baby bump while she relaxed in a bikini with her husband Prince William on the private island of Mustique - during a discussion with Daily Mail sketch writer Quentin Letts in the news review section and co-host Eamonn Holmes later expressed his apologies for the 'deeply regrettable' error made by the popular programme. Eamonn, who presented the show with his wife Ruth Langsford, said: 'Earlier during today's news review we were discussing photographs of the Duke and...

London -- The critics have spoken – "Viva Forever" did not spice up their lives.
British reviewers were scathing Wednesday about the big-budget stage show built around the songs of 1990s "Girl Power" pop group the Spice Girls.
"I'll tell you what I wanted, what I really, really wanted – I wanted this terrible show to stop," said Charles Spencer in the Daily Telegraph, riffing on the group's biggest hit, "Wannabe."
"This musical is tawdry, lazy and unedifying," he said, awarding the show one star.
The Independent newspaper's Paul Taylor gave the show two stars out of five, calling it "lacking in any truly original or challenging spark," while the Daily Mail's Quentin Letts dubbed it "a prize Christmas turkey."
A celebrity-studded audience that included soccer star David Beckham – there with wife Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham and sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz – gave the show an opening-night standing ovation Tuesday at London's Piccadilly Theatre.

The Daily Mail's pent-up frustration and rage at being told off by Lord Justice Leveson for writing mean things about Hugh Grant when he appeared at his inquiry was finally unleashed on Tuesday in Quentin Letts's parliamentary sketch. Letts, cleared weapons free in a target-rich environment, let fly at Leveson witnesses Grant, Steve Coogan and Max Mosley – and also had Zac Goldsmith in his sights for good measure – when they appeared before the parliamentary committee examining reform of privacy and injunctions. He gave them both barrels, natch: the "four rich swordsmen", "our stern quartet of trouser-droppers", "sado-masochist freaks, libidinous actors". But Letts's harshest words were reserved for Coogan and his use of language: "He has the makings of a red-top sub-editor." Mi-aow!

It's got Kristin Scott Thomas, a hotshot director and flawless writing – so why are some critics pausing over this revival of Harold Pinter's classic?
Super groups and dream teams do not always work, of course. Ian Rickson is a superb director, Kristin Scott Thomas is a brilliant actor, Harold Pinter is now just about an official genius. Yet this offers no guarantee that the first directing the second in the third will be any more successful than the Traveling Wilburys, say, or the Real Madrid "galacticos" team of 2004. The play in question is Betrayal, first performed in 1978, which charts the progress of an extramarital affair by travelling backwards through its most important scenes. Opinions on this production vary, but what drift there is puts one in mind of Real's last galactico, David Beckham: good, yes, but short of pace.
Strangely, though, no one can quite work out why.

The hysteria in Lillian Hellman's play is no match for the hype surrounding leading ladies Keira Knightley and Elisabeth Moss
Quiet please, everyone. This revival of The Children's Hour ticks every hype box, so we have a lot to get through. Fresh-ish from his triumph with Jerusalem, Ian Rickson has cast Elisabeth Moss (from hysterically admired Us soap opera Mad Men) and Keira Knightley (out of all those films) together in a play about rumours in a girls' school that is packed with unrequited girl-on-girl desire. It's not quite Nicole Kidman starkers; but it's enough to make tickets near impossible to get, and therefore fashionable to have. "One might cynically wonder if Knightley and Moss were unimaginative commercial casting," says Kate Bassett in the Independent on Sunday. One might also wonder whether anybody in the world could be capable of believing anything else.
Cutting to the chase, then, as...

The critics find this satire on Hollywood sexual hypocrisy rather chilly, but there's one thing they agree on: Tamsin Greig is brilliant
This is what people mean when they talk about someone stealing the show. While opinions differ on the overall success of Douglas Carter Beane's imported comedy of Hollywood manners, on one subject all critical voices sing in unison: Tamsin Greig, as the witty, scheming agent Diane, is fabulous.
"Greig is phenomenal as corrupt Hollywood ambition incarnate," says Paul Taylor in the Independent. Michael Billington agrees: "The play belongs to Diane," he writes. And so does Henry Hitchings: "Her diction and poise are razor-sharp," he says. "When she's offstage, the audience longs to have her back." And here's Charles Spencer in the Telegraph: "A thrilling star turn," he says. "This is high-definition comic acting at its finest."

Knightley's West End debut in this modern Molière evades wholesale incineration, but it's not quite a blaze of glory
Keira Knightley said she expected to be "burned alive" by the critics when she embarked on her first West End performance, as the captivating Jennifer in a modern translation of Molière's The Misanthrope. So the gentle singeing, when it finally arrived this morning, must have come as a relief. "She catches the waywardness [of her character]," says Benedict Nightingale in the Times, "but not the authority to explain how she can dominate a gathering by more than beauty." And "even if she doesn't always know what to do with her hands," in Michael Billington's opinion, "she gives a perfectly creditable performance." Most West End first-timers could be more than satisfied with that.

Keira Knightley's fears over her West End debut proved well-founded after she was hit with a slew of bad reviews, with one critic insisting the actress "has all the charisma of a goldfish."
The Pirates of the Caribbean star landed a role in a London adaptation of Moliere classic The Misanthrope, opposite Damian Lewis and Tara Fitzgerald.
Knightley previously spoke of her worries about her performance, fearing she would be "burned alive" by the critics.
And when the curtain went up for the reviewers on Thursday, Knightley's predictions turned out to be all too accurate.
Quentin Letts, who reviewed the play for Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, wrote, "Keira Knightley may be one of 21st century cinema’s revered objects but on stage she proves little better than adequate.
"Her arrival on the West End in an interesting (but intellectually disingenuous) treatment of Moliere’s Le Misanthrope is, well, on the dull side. She has all the charisma of a serviceable goldfish. Miss Knightley has a flawless face but it does not move about much."
While the Daily Express' theatre critic, Paul Callan, adds, “Her lack of stage experience is sometimes painfully evident. It is rather sad that the heart-wrenchingly beautiful Miss Knightley does not come up to scratch."...

Kirstie Allsopp has taken issue with another article in the Daily Mail. The TV presenter sarcastically expressed her appreciation for a feature piece by Quentin Letts, presumably his recent attack on BBC One controller Jay Hunt. Hunt has been accused of a conflict of interests over reports that she is a company secretary of her husband's media training firm BrightsparkTV. Allsopp wrote on Twitter: "Lovely piece in Dm in which Ql is misogynistic, zenophobic & codones racism, way to go Quentin (at least he can spell, which I can't!) (sic)." In his piece, Letts described Hunt as a "lean-lipped" and "humourless" woman with a "killer-kitten smile" who made the wrong decisions following the respective controversies relating (more)...

The actor and director has won rave reviews for his latest West End role as Chekhov's Ivanov. With a run of TV and film roles coming, is this the moment the establishment learned to love him?
There are rave reviews, and then there are Kenneth Branagh's last week. 'Branagh here touches the soul in a way I've not seen him do before,' opined Michael Billington in the Guardian. 'Performance of the year? Without a doubt,' was Quentin Letts's take in the Daily Mail. 'In preparing for the production Branagh seems to have relaxed his spirit around every corner of the role before deciding where to screw up the intensity,' wrote Paul Taylor in the Independent, adding: 'This is great acting, no question.'
