    Graham examines how and why successful film franchises end up losing the plot in a comparison of disappointing new film, Paddington 3 with The Godfather 3.

    Graham discusses his recent talk on Nirvana, why the band were punk, not grunge, and how their story weirdly mirrors The Sex Pistols.

    Charles reports on Dear Evan Hansen at Leeds Grand Theatre. What makes a musical stand out in a busy market?
