In Look, I Made a Hat, the second volume of his collected lyrics, Stephen Sondheim recalls working with Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein, and John Guare on a musical based on one of Brecht’s Lehrstücke — literally, “teaching works.” Their adaptation, called by Bernstein A Pray by Blecht, was abandoned in 1968; one problem was Sondheim’s “Brechtophobia.” He had previously turned down an offer to write English lyrics for the Brecht-Weill Mahagonny because of what he calls its “ham-handed satirical comment,” and the more he read Brecht’s plays, the less he liked them. “I found the stagecraft intriguing, and sometimes the stories as well,” he writes, “but the cartoonish characters and polemic dialogue were, for me, insufferably simplistic. They had to be that way, of course, for Brecht’s purposes, but I was simply not one of his targeted audience and there was just too much Lehr in each...

This elegant German documentary looks admiringly at the world-renowned Spanish restaurant created by German Dr Hans Schilling and his Czech wife, named after their French bulldogs and run from 1987 to 2011 by Ferran Adrià, an intensely serious fellow. Two million people applied for the 8,000 bookings taken every year, and in 2011 it closed because it was losing too much money. (Its principal source of revenue has been books and other byproducts.) It will reopen in 2014, as a culinary academy.
Every year, the restaurant, located in the idyllic coastal community of Cala Montjoi, closes for six months so that Adrià and his two chief assistants can move into Barcelona, two hours' drive away. There they experiment on new dishes for their 35-course menus, which no patron is given the opportunity to challenge. Nothing could be further removed from the McDonald's cooking academy in East Finchley.
So this film is a memorial to a...

Versatile producer and director who made Prime Suspect an enduring success
Paul Marcus, who has died of cancer aged 56, was best known for his award-winning work as producer of the television series Prime Suspect. However, most of his career was devoted to directing, for theatre and cinema, as well as for TV.
The first series of the police drama Prime Suspect, written by Lynda La Plante and following Dci Jane Tennison (played by Helen Mirren) as she led her first major murder investigation, was aired by Granada TV in 1991, to wide acclaim. Marcus was asked by Granada to take over as producer on the second series. He bravely invited an unknown director, John Strickland, to oversee the drama, but his choice proved justified, with Prime Suspect 2 matching the success of the first series and receiving an International Emmy award as well as Bafta recognition.
