He may look like a nice but dim posh 

boy, but peer beyond the designer beard 

and checkie shirt and you’ll discover 

Jack Whitehall is a comedian of wit and 

intelligence. Now one of the biggest 

names on the telly and stand-up circuit, 

this is Whitehall’s second arena tour 

and his new act is proving itself a worthy 

follow-up to the ground-breaking 

success of his 2014 tour. Unmissable.

Fans of comic books, gaming, collectables and all 

things geek chic rejoice - Forbidden Planet is relocating 

a little further up Grainger Street to create 

the biggest science fiction and cult entertainment 

megastore outside London. 

The new store will be home to more than 10,000

an opening day party on Feb 18 with special guests,

Form and fiction 


Author Frances Hardinge offers up an insight into her 

fascinating fictional landscapes at Fantasy Worlds 

with Frances Hardinge at Newcastle uni. 

The award-winning writer’s novels flit between the 

magical spaces in between fantasy and reality and 

her latest novel, The Lie Tree, is a Victorian Gothic 

mystery which dips into palaeontology, post-mortem 

photography and feminism (as you do). A revealing 

event which is certain to stir the imagination…

Proving there’s a lot more to Scandinavian style than Ikea’s

Wilson brings us the delightful KOTA in the Grainger Market. 

Meaning ‘home’ in Finnish, KOTA sells stationery, fashion, 

fabrics, jewellery and homewares, including many brands you

pretty printed cups, tea towels and tote bags from Helsinkibased

Stars in their Eyes (though he hasn’t presented it since 2004), but 

Matthew Kelly also gives a good account of himself as Mr Bennet 

in a much-praised production of Jane Austen’s romantic comedy 

Pride and Prejudice. Felicity Montagu (long-time assistant to Alan 

Partridge) steals the show as Mrs Bennet, while Tafline Steen and 

Benjamin Dilloway make their marks as Elizabeth and Mr Darcy.

Tyneside Cinema 

It’s movie awards season, which means 

everyone wants to go to the cinema to catch 

the nominees in action. 

Everyone’s talking about the charming 

musical love story La La Land, starring Ryan 

Gosling and Emma Stone, which has already 

bagged seven Golden Globes and looks set 

for major success at the BAFTAs and the 

Oscars, but it’s not the only kid on the block. 

Other unmissable hits this season include 

the emotional tour de force Manchester 

By The Sea which features a spellbinding 

lead performance from Casey Affleck, Jackie 

starring Natalie Portman as beloved first lady 

Jackie Kennedy is a deserved award nominee, 

the coming-of-age drama Moonlight is a 

must-see, and local hero I, Daniel Blake - 

Ken Loach’s powerful welfare state drama 

made here in Newcastle - should be at the 

top of your movie list.

FRANKENSTEIN 

FRANKENSTEIN 

The doctor will 

see you now 

Dr Victoria Frankenstein, aka actor Polly Frame, offers an insight into life 

with her creature on their current stay in Newcastle 

How are you enjoying life in 

Newcastle? My experiments 

take up quite a lot of my time, 

including my study of the 

chemistry of gin at Bealim House. 

The livestock on the Town Moor 

may also yet feature in my work. 

What do you think of the 

shopping in the city centre? 

We both enjoy designer clothes, 

though this can be challenging 

for the Creature who, at 8ft 

tall and on the, um, broad side, 

struggles to find things to fit, 

which is a shame, as he fancies 

himself a bit of a Tom Ford. We 

also nip down to the ironmongers 

on a Saturday morning to get the 

Creature’s bolts tightened. He 

considers this a vital part of his 

grooming routine. 

If we were meeting in the pub, 

how would I recognise you? I’d 

be the one demonstrating how 

to distil G&T into pure ethanol. 

The Creature (I don’t call him the 

monster because he’s actually a 

soft-hearted sweetie pie, despite 

his recently revealed pathological 

drive to murder me) likes a Bloody 

Mary at The Bacchus, though for 

some reason he struggles to find 

drinking partners. 

How else do you spend your 

time? We love a game of Scrabble 

in the evening, we’re planning to 

go to The Great North Museum: 

Hancock for its new skeleton 

show, and we’ve enjoyed some 

classes at Dance City – Tango 

mainly. We hope to get a call from 

Strictly Come Dancing, though 

the Creature is a bit more Ed Balls 

than Anton du Beke. 

What’s on the menu in your flat? 

The Creature’s tastes are pretty 

simple – mainly raw meat, blood, 

brains and bones, which he likes 

to suck. As mentioned earlier, the 

Town Moor is an area of interest 

for us. 

Where do you go on holiday? 

I love a lakeshore retreat. In 

Venezuela, where the Catatumbo 

River meets Lake Maracaibo, 

there are some 250-plus storms 

a year, each featuring around 

nine hours at a time of lightning, 

which I particularly like. You 

can get a similar effect in some 

nightclubs, though the Creature 

struggles to find dance partners… 

Polly stars in Northern Stage’s production of Dr Frankenstein adapted by Selma Dimitrijevic, directed by Lorne 

Campbell and designed by Tom Piper MBE, creator of the Poppies: Weeping Window installation at the Tower of 

London.

KING ROSS 

THE KING 

SPEAKS... 

What do you mean ‘King who?’ To millions of people around the world, 

he’s an internet phenomenon, the face of Newcastle-based global sports 

promoter WhatCulture Pro Wrestling and a sacred soul of that very strange 

world they call YouTube. Here’s what he told us... 

Wow, you’re the biggest thing 

in wrestling. Ever. Where can we 

commune with your followers? In 

their bedrooms locked away from 

the world because they are dirty 

marks and bring shame to society 

as a whole. 

Eh? What’s a ‘dirty mark’? Are 

you referring to your laundry? A 

‘mark’ is a wrestling fan, and having 

seen some of the specimens who 

come through the doors at our 

events, locking them away is the 

best thing for all concerned. 

Oh right. So what about you - can 

you give us three WWE wrestlers 

you’d snog, marry, and avoid? 

Rusev, Kevin Owens and JBL. 

Wow, there’s a window into 

your soul right there! We note 

that you’re the reigning WCPW 

Commentator of the Year. Why? 

Simple - I’m awful at commentary, 

but those dirty, sweaty marks have 

mountains of unconditional love 

for me and my preachings. 

That’s cool. Your fans must really 

inspire you? No, I just like money. 

Lots of money. I also like insulting 

dirty marks and feasting on their 

souls, but they enjoy all of that. 

You can’t blame them, you’ve 

come such a long way. Come 

to think of it, what was it like 

when WhatCulture Pro Wrestling 

started? At first I scoffed at the 

idea, thinking we’d be putting on 

Jack the Jobber in Spandex against 

Blampied and his textbook Suplex, 

but then I remembered that we’re 

WhatCulture and we’ve got millions 

of followers, so I got excited. We’ve 

come a long way from the days 

of 10 people cramming into a 

warehouse and to this day it’s still a 

bit of an acid trip. 

Wow, you are the king! WCPW is 

back in Newcastle on March 6. 

What can we expect? Professional 

wrestling by professional wrestlers 

inside a professional wrestling ring 

with professional wrestling referees 

in front of professional wrestling 

marks screaming professional 

wrestling chants. Don’t expect me 

to be there though. I’m doing my 

hair that night. 

And when your hair is done, which 

wrestlers will you invite round 

for protein-packed muscle meal? 

Great question! There’d be Kevin 

Owens, because he’s my favourite 

wrestler, and I’d want Martin Kirby 

there because he’s my best friend 

and my favourite wrestler who 

isn’t Kevin Owens. It’s time I had 

him round because I go round to 

his most Sundays, when we close 

the curtains, stick some candles 

on and sing ‘I Got You Babe’ to one 

another. There’s actually video 

evidence of this on the WCPW 

YouTube page. And my third guest 

would be Rusev, because he is my 

bae and spirit animal, naturally. 

And who would you take for a 

night out in the Bigg Market? 

WWE’s billionaire chairman Vinnie 

Mac. A night out with him can last 

for days.
