Any form of art requires faith, from the person painstakingly producing the scene to which others are meant to be inspired, to the audience, singular or large scale, who are the hopeful beneficiaries of the human endeavour, who hope to be blessed by its appearance, by its magnificence.

We like to think children and teenagers have become more sophisticated and more adapt in understanding how the world works, that in the way they can overcome technology and hold their own in conversation regarding ideas, they, like their adult counterparts, are still as susceptible to falling for the charms of fanaticism of any political persuasion, that the words of rhetoric can just be as much a thrill when spoken with the voice of authority, as the soft coercion holds the beauty of poetry aloft.

There is nothing like a good Batman film in which to soak up a few hours, Bob Kane’s gift to comic book fandom has had its ups and down, whilst enjoyable in a kitsch, clique ridden way, the 60s television and subsequent film didn’t add much to the mystique of the Dark Knight, whereas Michael Keaton’s and Christian Bale’s interpretation of the man and the myth was completely and beautifully captured by their respective directors.

It is perhaps appropriate that on the week the country remembers the 75th anniversary of Britain’s entry into the Second World War that the B.B.C. should show the story of how Britain was saved in the early days of The Battle of Britain by no small measure of ingenuity, sacrifice and imagination from the fathers of RADAR, Robert Watson Watt and Skip Wilkins.

Eddie Izzard, Comedy Review. Echo Arena, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Eddie Izzard is one of Britain’s most loved comedians. He is also one of those exceptional people on the circuit that is loved just as much for his endeavours away from the stage as he is on it. From running marathons, to sending out a better image of the U.K. with his tolerance and acceptance of different cultures and his brave decision to come out as an action transvestite has only endeared him more to the public.
