By Shafik Meghji 10 May 2021 A flash of green amid traffic-choked roads, elevated railway lines and anonymous high-rise apartment and office blocks, Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens is a well-kept but unremarkable south London park.

At the edge of the seven-acre park, mesmerised children gazed at a trio of freshly trimmed alpacas, residents of Vauxhall City Farm. In the ...

With new productions poleaxed by successive lockdowns, BBC1’s festive fare was patchy at best. We got 75 minutes of Strictly highlights, a remake of Blankety Blank hosted by Bradley Walsh and by late evening it was back to repeats of The Vicar of Dibley. In this version of Georgian England, aristocrats ravish actresses in Hyde Park before dashing off to the palace to see their sisters presented to the monarch.
