JEANS, JOCKS AND JOKES Down on the Funny Farm they have them rollingin the furrows. Alternative comedians are cashing in their cracks and Simple Simon Fanshawe plays Esther’s village idiot. Mark Fisher tells all just like that!

JACK LEMMON Everybody loves a Lemmon but what happens when he turns up in a pomegranate? In his latest film Walter Matthau’s odd other half is one step away from the zimmer. Why. ponders Trevor Johnston, doesn’t someone tell him it’s bad, Dad?
