Don’t be a Scrooge: an interview with Derek Frood
Sarah Gough, Editor, talks to Derek Frood, star of the Northcott’s A Christmas Carol It’s not often you spend a Saturday morning scouting for Scrooge. Yet here I was, analysing members of Coffee #1’s queue on the basis of Dickensian demeanours. I eventually spotted tall, bearded Derek Frood towering over the cake counter with a […]
Editorial: Boozing for a bruising
Everyone has a story involving a bouncer. Whether it was about that night your mate got kicked out of TP for spilling a drink, or that time you weren’t let into Arena (sorry, Unit 1) because the guy on the door thought you were on MD, it seems like almost everyone has something to say […]
Cricket’s golden girl: An interview with Charlotte Edwards
It’s impossible to imagine women’s cricket without Charlotte Edwards. Entering the international side at the tender age of 16, she was the youngest cricketer to ever play for England. Twenty years later and with a decade’s captaincy under her belt, she has nearly 10,000 international runs to her name. The only woman to score 2,000 […]

Editorial: A diversity dilemma
White and middle-class. This is the stereotype that permeates both Exeter and its University. In this issue we decided to investigate what this really means for students living and studying here. Considering Britain is now famed for its multi-culturalism, the stats around Exeter’s diversity are pretty scary. The results were unsurprising, with the overall numbers […]
Drumstick to slapstick: An interview with James Acaster
James Acaster asserts to Mock The Week’s studio audience that he knows “shit loads about bread” and that, to him “the origin of prawn toast still remains a mystery”. Lucky really, that Dara Ó Briain landed Acaster with the topic of ‘food’, he’s something of a culinary comedian – the first thing that appears when […]
Jungle Book trailer is ‘bare wild’
T he trailer of the live-action remake of The Jungle Book is out and it’s bare wild. I say that in a literal sense; there is a jungle and a barechested, feral boy. Not to mention the utter disparity this CGI epic appears to have with the 1967 cutesy cartoon original. If you only ever […]
Whooping Gough: on tennis tantrums, transvestite trapezes and the Greek economy
Wimbledon makes me want to do things. Things I would never normally even consider doing. I’m not an angry person – despite society telling me that my orange locks require it of me – yet this tennis tournament incites real rage within me. Society wins. Wimbledon winds me up. My uncharacteristic actions are threefold: Firstly, I […]
Whooping Gough: on abandoning all sense of self, foot shaming and mounting Florence
It’s exciting isn’t it; being something you’re not. Enough of this “love the skin you’re in”, “you’re worth it”, “mm Danone” crap. It’s time to bend your entire perception of self to a conceptual stereotype, depending on your location. I just did so and would highly recommend. Coming from the sleepy “northern” (to most of […]
