What are you listening to on your ipod at the moment? The last albums that I downloaded were 100 Classic French Songs and Jacques Brel Live at Olympia in 1961. I am also listening to Blondie’s Parallel Lines What book are you currently reading? I’m currently reading D- Day: The Battle for Normandy by Anthony Beevor. Also the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, part of the millennium trilogy. Those books are just the best. When they came out they were a publishing sensation all over the world. The books are thrillers and they’re just fantastic. Films of the books have been made in Sweden and Sony is now in negotiation to buy the rights and make the films in America. What was the last film you saw and would you recommend it? The last film I saw was Sherlock Holmes and yeah I’d recommend it for (Robert) Downey Jnr alone because he is fantastic in it. What was the last DVD you bought? The second series of Mad Men. What did you last see at the theatre and did you enjoy it? Before Christmas, I went to see Red (John Logan’s play about artist Mark Rothko) at the Donmar Warehouse with Alfred Molina and a young English actor called Eddie Redmayne. I like Mark Rothko’s work. It was a smashing play. I had a really good evening. • The film of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is released in the UK on March 12th 2010. • After its critically acclaimed run at London’s Donmar Warehouse December 3rd 2009 – Feb 6 the 2010, the Broadway production of Red begins performances at the Golden Theatre on March 11 and opens on April 1, 2010. • Mad Men series 1 and 2 is available on DVD and series 3 is currently being shown on BBC 2. • Sherlock Holmes is due for release on DVD on 19th April 2010.
