In 'Screw', CHRISTOPHER STEVENS discusses last night's television: in 'Screw,' the raging tension on C Wing is perfectly balanced by Gallows' humour

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 30, 2023
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: I worked on a news desk where the sub-editors fought a game with their star columnist, which was way back when newsrooms were a sepia fug of Rothman's smoke. Each week, they gave him an impossible or odd word to insert into his opening paragraph. Dodecahedron is a form of dodecahedron. Embrocation. Avoirdupois are among the many things that have characterized the Avoirdupois. Ontologic. Tintinnabulation is the result of a tintinnabulation. Arnold was always obliged, with such zeal that this stray word was turned into the central gem in a sparkling intro. When Screw (Ch4) returns for a second series, the prison officers at Long Marsh jail are playing a similar game. Points are earned by incorporating song titles into the banter that lags.

The late Jeff Beck, to the majority, was a guitar god so revered that his fingers and thumbs were explicitly covered for £7 million. But East Sussex's trailblazing rock star, who shared the stage with some of music's biggest names, including Rod Stewart, Jon Bon Jovi, Kate Bush, Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, and Phil Collins, was also regarded as a 'nice bloke' by his neighbors. Beck, who died peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday after contracting bacterial meningitis, is assisting the local wildlife rescue charity and will be seen chatting to locals and even pottering around the Co-op supermarket, although villagers insist some 'absurdly beautiful classic vehicle' will be parked wherever he went. Beck would even write the occasional letter to Wealden Council if he wasn't recording in his home studio, or touring the world, and performing his timeless songs to thousands of adoring followers. Only Johnny Depp's 'jangly necklaces' would raise eyebrows in the community, with a taxi driver who once picked up the Hollywood actor near Beck's Wadhurst home, where they had been jammed, telling the BBC that the actor's 'jangly necklaces' were 'a bit unusual in rural Sussex.'
