If there are three things we like they are Kim Cattrall, Tennessee Williams and hot young men with their clothing loosened. Which is why we're just wild about the idea of Sweet Bird of Youth at London's Old Vic theatre next week.

You could be forgiven for feeling like you've had Bowie up to here *indicates place very high up* but if you haven't, well, there's more. This time on your TellyVee tomorrow at 9.20 of the pm on Her Majesty's BBC2.

We'd start this piece with 'another stellar addition to London's gastronomy scene' but we're not shit writers. So we'll go for something like this:

It is a diner (it's all about diners right now, you know? Even our favourite Boheme Kitchen and Bar on the OCS - Old Compton Street - is getting the diner makeover. Or makeunder, depending on your view of diners). And it is by Jamie Oliver. And it's right up the nasty end of Shaftesbury Avenue. The really nasty end.

Oh they're clever those At One people. Very clever. Not content with banging their drums outside a theatre so that Helen Mirren would come out dressed as the Queen to give them a highly publicised bollocking and then wear a t-shirt publicising the event the next day, As One in the Park have come up with a cracking little line-up the very year that Lovebox totally loses the plot with a limp load of old nonsense no one in their right minds would pay thousands of pounds (or however much it is these days) to go and see.

The London Gay Symphony Orchestra will be bringing you an ever so handy post-Gay Pride Parade hangover tonic on 30th June. It promises steamy Brazilian rhythms, some jazz and some French romanticism-inspired pieces (yeah us neither but let’s give high brow a chance shall we?)

Everyone has totally lost it for the Daft Punk super-smash-hit single 'Get Lucky' but we're not sure why: yes, it's nice and bouncy but it's very much an Earth Wind and Fire b-side with a bit of Kool and the Gang sprinkled on top. Obviously, those people who would normally sneer at disco have been able to pretend this is much cleverer than that because it's European, produced by robots from the future and has an artsy video. On the other hand, it does have Nile Rodgers of the mighty Chic on it. Well, if you liked it, you might be interested to hear about the album Random Access Memories. On the other hand, you might not.

One of these statements is true: 1. Musicals are robust, understated affairs reserved for the broodingly masculine among us. 2. The Sound of Music is coming to Regent’s Park. If you can guess which one is correct then we have a feeling you’ll be interested in heading down to the glorious, enchanting setting of Regent’s Park’s Open Air Theatre in July. Maybe with a picnic.
