Not read any Paul Magrs? Then you are missing out on some rather darkly sublime and eccentric company of an evening. Creator of Brenda, Whitby BB owner and part-time not your run-of the-mill sleuth who, shall we say, is a tad older than her given years, undertaking unusual crime solving with her faithful sidekick, Effie, in their own inimitable way. For some reason, I got it in my head that the actor Steve Pemberton would make a rather fetching Brenda when I first read 'Never the Bride' a few years back. To be honest the cover did it a bit of a discredit as the characters awaiting inside the book are beautifully darker and wittier than its strangely pastel book cover would imply. (In honesty, I wouldn't have picked it up if it wasn't for the intriguing back cover copy). Great to see Cosmic Hobo has taken on the filming of his 'Vince Cosmos Glam Rock Detective'. This was due to be screened in the UK in January 2013 but seems to have slipped the schedule. Set in 1972, Julian Rhind-Tutt is cast in the lead role and suitably donned in befitting glam rock attire - an entertaining combo that can't be missed, surely?...
