Regrets and tragedy hang heavy over a music-obsessed father and withering daughter as they drive across England
With this road movie, the Cornish director Brett Harvey nails a certain type of man: the tastesplainer. A sub-species of the mansplainer, he is that incredibly boring guy with an encyclopaedic knowledge of cool indie bands or some other niche. Here he is David (Tristan Sturrock), a failed middle-aged musician who can (and will) explain in great detail how Yo La Tengo got their name or why Bowie wrote All the Young Dudes for Mott the Hoople. David can’t hold down a day job and drinks too much. “A sad old man” is how his daughter describes him. Though you suspect that when he looks in the mirror, he still sees a 24-year-old indie rocker staring back.

Here they are, the last gasp of shows for the 2012-2013 theater season as we approach T-Day (Tony Nomination Day on April 30). And on that note, some notable rulings have been announced: the four young tykes taking on the title role in Matilda will not be competing jointly for Best Actress in a Musical (they will instead receive a special “Tony Honor For Excellence”). And poor Kristine Nielsen (Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike) and all the men in Orphans have been added to the crowded slate of competitors for Leading Actor/Actress, which means about eight Tony-worthy performers...

Doc Martin, which will soon be coming out with a fifth series, has an amazing story behind it, one which many of the show's U.S. fans probably don't know. Spun off from a non-integral character in the 2000 film Saving Grace, Doc Martin first went on to television movies which focused on Martin Clunes' character, who was then not quite so brash, and was suffering from a cheating wife, rather than a fear of blood.
In Saving Grace, Doc Martin is simply the local doctor, and rather a fun-loving one at that. The first Doc Martin movie introduces us to Dr. Martin Bamford, a London obstetrician who soon learns that his wife is having affairs with at least his three best friends. He ventures to Port Isaac (the same actual location in all three incarnations, later to be known as Portwenn) to get away from his life. He takes up with a lobster fisherman,...
