To mark National Poetry Day in the UK, we celebrate a dozen of TV’s best worst fictional poets…

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s alliances between Dee and Charlie are always excellent value. She’s ridiculous,...

With his 25-foot sailboat taking on water and in danger of sinking about 45 miles off the coast of Hawaii Nov. 27, Ron Ingraham placed two mayday calls that launched a four-day air-and-water search. But with no sign of the 67-year-old or his struggling craft, the U.S. Coast Guard suspended the operation on Dec. 1. Then, yesterday, a break: A short mayday call about 7:55 a.m. reached the Coast Guard's Honolulu command center, which dispatched the guided-missle destroyer USS Paul Hamilton from 14 miles away to find Ingraham at sea - weak, hungry and dehydrated, according to the a statement from the agency,...

Andrew finds lots to like in this thoughtful movie about Dylan Thomas
The first time I saw Andy Goddard's work, it was in the 2006 Torchwood episode Countrycide, which featured John Barrowman kneecapping cannibals with a shotgun.
Set Fire To The Stars, directed and co-written by Goddard with actor Celyn Jones, is visually impressive, but also immeasurably more lyrical and thoughtful than you might be expecting. This is less of a surprise considering its subject matter: the story of Dylan Thomas's first visit to New York (his death in the city was dramatised in the recent BBC drama A Poet in New York, with Ewen Bremner playing the same role Elijah Wood does in this film).
Here, Jones plays Dylan Thomas, visiting 50s New York (Swansea), Connecticut (Swansea) and Yale (also Swansea) at the request of Elijah Wood's lapsed poet, the academic John Malcolm Brinnin. Through a combination of monochrome,...
