ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: These figures are based on Star Trek's dating system, which is also known as Star Dates. These are not unified in the Star Trek Universe, but later series have introduced basic logic on them.

KATE MUIR: One And All (pictured) brings the corny back to Cornwall in an enjoyable, sea-shanty film based on a band of folk singers. The Fisherman's Friends journeyed from their home village of Port Isaac to top-ten international prominence in 2019. This second instalment is less about 'hoo-ray and up she rises' and more about 'what shall we do with the drunken sailor?' That's James Purefoy, who plays Jim, the singers' sarcastic, charismatic leader. Jim drowns his sorrows on a regular basis, traumatized by his lobster-fisherman father Jago (David Hayman), who founded the original band, but he was drowned. The remainder of the Fishermen are also struggling with fame on tour. At the Grimsby Docks Social Club, we see a tumultuous night in which one of the old singers asks a female journalist if she likes "meat in her history" and enjoys a glass of wine in his face. Rowan (Sam Swainsbury), the village's handsome married barman, is almost suffocated by women in pink at a Northern hen night, while the handsome married barman is almost suffocated by women in pink.
