• The Weekly Column That Takes a Really Honest Look at Thirtysomething Life [Eire Region]

I am sitting in my living room watching Prime Time. Elaine Byrne is assuring the nation that all is not lost. This is a prime opportunity, she says, for us all to reinvent ourselves.

• Experience of Making Her New Independent Feature Film

IF you're making a scary movie and seeking natural performances from a young cast - some of them new to acting - then scaring them witless before the cameras start rolling is probably a good start. That certainly wasn't Dawn Furness's intention but there was no doubt that her young actors were rattled well before filming started at Lindisfarne in Northumberland on ghostly horror story Rising Tide which has its premiere at Tyneside Cinema tonight.

The story: DESPERATE residents living near Cheltenham's major car cruise hang-out want the area officially labelled an "accident blackspot". Comments: I LOVE going through Cheltenham on a Sunday night. There's no better way to end the week. Seeing five chavs huddled together in a Pounds 450 Citroen Saxo that has an exhaust the size of a football which sounds loud but doesn't actually make the car go anywhere. Priceless!
