The Great Escaper (12A)
Mon 23 Oct – Tue 14 Nov, Various Times £6.80pp £5.00pp on Tuesdays
In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. He had staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world as Bernie embodied the defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course, it wasn’t the whole story.
It was an inspirational but sanitised retelling of one man’s need to come to terms with the lasting trauma of war. Bernie’s adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene (Glenda Jackson) – The Great Escaper celebrates their enduring love but always with an eye to the lessons we might learn from the Greatest Generation.

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is one of the most recognised and reproduced paintings in the world. It is perhaps the most popular poster on student dorm walls from Beijing to Boston.
Painted in Vienna around 1908, the evocative image of an unknown embracing couple has captivated viewers with its mystery, sensuality and dazzling materials ever since it was created. But just what lies behind the appeal of the painting – and just who was the artist that created it?
Delving into the details of real gold, decorative designs, symbolism and simmering erotica, a close study of the painting takes us to the remarkable turn of the century Vienna when a new world was battling with the old.
From the director of Frida Kahlo and Mary Cassatt – Painting the Modern Woman comes a powerful, gripping and passionate new film.

Bearing a gift of two lovebirds, Melanie quickly strikes up a romance with Mitch while contending with his possessive mother and boarding at his ex-girlfriend’s house. One day, during a birthday party for Mitch’s younger sister, a flock of birds attacks the children in what seems to be a random incident. In fact, it signals the beginning of a massive and organised avian assault on the residents of the town – a mysterious spate of violence that no one can explain… and from which no one might come out alive.

Plans for 131 new homes in a Nottinghamshire village have taken a step closer after one of two local councils involved approved the proposals.
Gedling Borough councillors have approved Barwood Homes’ plans for the site off Hayden Lane in Linby, despite concerns over potential impacts on local GP surgeries and schools.
However the new estate will require the building of two new access roads via Delia Avenue and Dorothy Avenue, which sit within Ashfield District Council’s boundaries.
The developer therefore requires permission from the both authorities to progress the plans.
During a Gedling Borough Council Planning Committee meeting on October 18, one resident spoke to object on behalf of the nearby Vaughan estate.
They said: “The impact of the development will not only have a detrimental effect on us residents, its safety and reputation will have a critical effect on the town itself and its amenities.
“Hucknall’s own residents cannot get a doctors appointment or dentist at the moment ourself and schools seem to be at full capacity, so adding another 130 homes to the equation is only going to put more pressure on the services.”
The resident said properties would lose value, with new homes being built close enough as to have an impact on the views of open countryside, and local roads would become even more congested.
The site is next to the Sherwood Gate residential development where 255 homes are being built.
Responding to the concerns, Robbie Locke, head of planning and strategic land for the applicant, said: “This is an allocated site in your adopted local plan.
“Your local plan involved an extensive and thorough site selection process, it went through consultation and examination that established the principle of development on this site.
“The local highways authority is entirely accepting of the plans. There are no statutory environmental designations, the council’s open space officer has confirmed the level of proposed open space exceeds policy requirements.
“There would be a large area of open space in the centre of the community which will include a play area. In addition to this a separate 4,000 square meters of open space and additional landscaping areas for drainage and wildlife habitats will all make this feel like a spacious and green community.”
He also said the development would help 26 families on the housing waiting list and 14 more young families struggling to find secure homes of their own.
Cllr David Ellis (Lab) said he agrees it is a policy-compliant scheme but has “some sympathy” with residents concerned about GP and dentist appointments.
The developer has pledged significant sums of money to address this, including £70,985 for the expansion of care at Okenhall Medical Practice, Whyburn Medical Practice and The OM Surgery.
Nottingham University Hospitals Trust has also requested a contribution of £141,808.
Education authority Nottinghamshire County Council requested a contribution of £ 746,672, with £551,334 towards secondary education, £105,016 towards post-16 education and a £90,322 cash injection for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities provision.
“With those guarantees I’m happy to support it,” Cllr Ellis said.
Cllr Sam Smith (Con) said he feared for the 38 per cent loss in natural habitats in the area, but council officer Craig Miles said the council’s policy allows for a reduction to allow housing to be built.
A “flooding is possible” warning has been issued for parts of Gedling borough as Storm Babet continues to wreak havoc across the country.
The warning, issued by the Environment Agency, is made when “flooding is possible’ and homes and businesses are told to be prepared.
A flood alert has been issued on parts of the River Trent affecting parts of the borough.
PICTURED: Flooding at Burton Joyce back in 2021
The alert said: “River levels are rising at the Colwick river gauge, as a result of Storm Babet. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible.
“Areas most at risk are low-lying agricultural land and roads including communities near to the River Trent, such as Stoke Lane at Stoke Bardolph.
Warnings have also been issued to communities around around the tributaries of the River Trent including Dover Beck, Cocker Beck, Woodborough Brook, and Ouse Dyke.
“Heavy rainfall is forecast over the next 48 hours. River levels will continue to rise over the weekend.”
A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: “We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are patrolling watercourses in the area and liaising with emergency services.
“Please avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.”
A planning application has been received by Gedling Borough Council for the proposed redevelopment of land situated at the end of Sir John Robinson Way off Mansfield Rd (A60) to the rear of the Premier Inn.
The application has been received from Jamie Pert of Planning Potential, Harrogate acting as agent on behalf of McCarthy Stone Retirement Lifestyle Ltd.
The application describes the proposed works as ‘Full planning permission for the erection of a 51 no. apartment retirement living development (Use Class C3), landscaping, car parking and all associated works’
A Design and Access statement (DAS) has been provided in support of the planning application in Daybrook for a Retirement Living Development for residents aged 60 and above. The applicant is McCarthy Stone who are retirement accommodation providers.
Pictured: Proposed site plan as per planning documents (Bright Space Architects)
The DAS states that the proposed development is immediately adjacent to the Aldi Superstore to the South; to the East neighbours Premier Inn Nottingham North; to the West a tall bank separates the site from a residential development of semi-detached houses along Browning Close. To the North there are a number of commercial units including Wickes builder merchant, smaller B2 & B8 units along Salop Street and Daybrook medical centre.

Owners of the Horse and Groom pub on Main Street took to social media to share the sad news.
In the announcement they said: “Unfortunately due the ongoing impact of losses made due to Covid and the continued high cost of gas and electricity we have made the decision to cease trading after last orders (October 18).”
The management team issued a “huge thank you” to everyone who had supported the pub over the last nine and a half years.
SAD NEWS: The last pints were pulled at the pub on Tuesday night
They added: “Hopefully the brewery will find someone to take over fairly quickly and you can continue to enjoy that special place that is ‘The Horse and Groom’”
The announcement, made on October 17, was met with shock and sadness from regulars with hundreds of comments posted on the pub’s social media channel.
Kim Pears wrote: “So sorry to read this and wishing you all the very best for the future. Horse and Groom is at the heart of our family memories. It’s heartbreaking what’s happening to the pub trade and so sorry the industry is losing another star.”
Katy Flower posted: “Wow this is awful news so sorry to hear that, sending love to the whole team, you’re all brilliant and we will miss quiz night with you all!
Alixx Skevington posted: “This is a really sad day for the village. A proper cracking boozer, great beer and great food. You will be sorely missed. It would have been better if the brewery had stepped into help you first rather than have yet another lost skilled and admired landlord.”
The Horse and Groom is located on Main Street, Linby and further details can be found HERE.
A brace from Alex Hardwick saw Carlton Town move back into the play off positions with a 2-1 win against league leaders Belper Town at Stoke Lane.
The win was fully merited following an exhilarating Carlton display across the whole team in which they repeatedly opened up the Nailers and would have added to their total but for an outstanding display by visiting goalkeeper Jonathan Hedge.
Tommy Brookbanks and Mark Harvey named an unchanged side from the team which had won at Ossett last time out. Belper featured popular ex-Miller Alex Troke who played such a pivotal role in Carlton’s escape from relegation last season.
This was Carlton’s first home match in the league since the August bank holiday and was the first in a series of four successive midweek fixtures as the Millers look to complete the games in hand occasioned by their runs in the FA Cup and FA Trophy.
Tommy was delighted after the Millers beat Belper (Carlton Town TV)
Belper came into the game with a 100% away record but it was Carlton who came out of the blocks quickest. Hardwick went close on just four minutes with a curling shot following a lovely pass from Khyle Sargent and just three minutes later the Millers were ahead. Alex Howes took a quick throw-in deep on the left wing to Lewis Durow. The full back’s cross wasn’t cleared by Mason Warren and Hardwick was on hand to rifle home from eight yards.
The Millers then poured forward and were first to every ball in midfield as Belper simply weren’t allowed to get going. Dean Freeman almost made it 2-0 shortly afterwards with a fine header from a Durow throw, only to be denied by the first of a number of fine saves from the Belper goalkeeper Hedge.
Carlton did double their lead on 25 minutes with a superb goal. Troke brought down Niall Davie in midfield for a free kick. In what was clearly a rehearsed routine, Freeman touched the ball to Davie who played it to Sargent on the edge of the box. He touched it first time to Hardwick whose first touch took him away from Danny South before he fired the ball past Hedge to the delight of the home support in the impressive crowd.
Belper had done very little up to this point but they went very close to scoring with their first attempt on the half hour. Cameron Johnson’s header from a corner drew a superb save from Felix Annan before Kevin Bastos’s follow up was diverted towards goal by South only to be cleared off the line by Liam Bateman. Two minutes later Belper claimed a penalty for handball against Bateman but the referee wasn’t interested.
Alex Hardwick smashed a brace to lead Carlton Town to a 2-1 win over Belper (Carlton Town TV)
Dan Brown and Freeman were having superb games in the middle and Brown did well to break up one Belper attack before Carlton came forward again. Lamin Manneh won the ball off Warren before advancing on goal and drawing another fine save from Hedge. From the resulting corner Hardwick saw his goalbound header cleared off the line by Warren on the post.
Three minutes into the second half Hardwick really should have had his hattrick. Bateman sent Manneh away on the left. He sped past Ben Rhodes before crossing to Hardwick who, with the goal at his mercy, fired wide of target.
Belper responded and Annan made another fine save from Johnson. The Nailers pulled one back on 58 minutes when South headed a long clearance from Hedge into the path of Johnson and he did well to steer the ball into the corner of the net. Minutes later Bastos hit an effort high over the bar and it looked as if Carlton were in for a long last half hour.
Instead, they took the game back to Belper with Sargent and Howes superb in the middle and Davie, Manneh and Niall Hylton always offering a threat. One excellent run from Davie sent Hardwick away on the right. His angled drive drew an excellent save from Hedge and Manneh’s follow up went wide.
Next it was Durow’s turn to create something as he sent Hylton away down the left. His cross was just intercepted by Hedge before Hardwick could tap home.
Still Carlton pushed forward and when Hardwick set up Howes, Hedge denied him with another top drawer save before Hardwick’s attempted cross to give Hylton an open goal was cleared.
Belper were on the ropes but at just a goal down they knew they had a chance and Brown had to be alert to snuff out another attack. But back came Carlton and this time it was Bateman’s turn to be denied as his shot was blocked.
Annan had to save again from Bastos before a move involving Sargent, Bateman and substitute David Adegbola led to Davie shooting just over.
Belper huffed and puffed in the final minutes but Carlton kept their shape, kept up the intensity and saw out the six minutes of added time to record an excellent win. They received a fully deserved ovation from their supporters at the final whistle.
