Defending the Guilty review a cross between The Thick of It and This Life
TV reviewTelevisionReviewLegal shows tend to be either unbearably earnest or wretchedly cynical, but this sitcom embraces the silliness of a serious world – and really steps up to the bar
Defending the Guilty (BBC Two) is a promising new sitcom that mines the potentially less-than-hilarious world of criminal law for its surprisingly plentiful absurdities. Based on the 2011 nonfiction book of the same name by the barrister Alex McBride, it has an insider’s fondness for what it mocks.

RereadingFiction'Tolstoy doesn't believe in "show, don't tell". He likes to show and tell'What is it about Anna Karenina that gives it special status among the great novels? How is it that a sensational romantic tragedy of tsarist high society, interspersed with digressions into 19th-century Russian agricultural policy, written in a seemingly plain, straightforward style across 900 pages, still provokes both excitement and respect from readers as diverse as JM Coetzee, Jonathan Franzen and Oprah Winfrey, and lures Tom Stoppard to write the script for the latest of a dozen film adaptations?
Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark review we are ignoring the AI apocalypse
Book of the dayScience and nature booksReviewYuval Noah Harari responds to an account of the artificial intelligence era and argues we are profoundly ill-prepared to deal with future technology

MakeupGleaming 90s-style lips are everywhere, just like shiny fabrics. Is it simply because we’re in the mood for a party?
