Martin and Gary Kemp: 'We complement each other'
19 April 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
They went from being new romantics in Spandau Ballet to playing London gangsters in the film The Krays. Now the brothers are about to appear on TV together again
An enduring tale of sibling harmony, Gary and Martin Kemp have spent decades working companionably alongside one another without ever, publicly at least, succumbing to fraternal combustion. The arts, and particularly pop music, is littered with brothers (more so, curiously, than sisters) who have tried to do the same and failed, among them Ray and Dave Davies of the Kinks and Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis, each undone by ego and the need to dominate. But the Kemps are different, an anomaly. Now both in their 50s, they remain essentially one and the same, and consequently stronger together than the sum of their parts.
But how? Gary Kemp, who, at 53, is two years Martin's senior, thinks that it is down to their upbringing. »

Shetland is like a cross between McWallander and Midsomer Murdurrs

• Sarah Dempster's TV Od: It's over to the windswept Shetlands for the BBC's new police procedural and back to the cells as the excellent Prisoner's Wives returns
A moss-faced local glares at Di Jimmy Perez (Douglas Henshall) over a pint of Old Exposition. "We're all connected on Shetland, in one way or another," she says. She's no' wrong. Shetland, or at least the Shetland of Shetland (Sunday, 9pm, BBC1), is a rum old place, a wind-blasted wilderness seething with ancient family feuds, sheep, buried secrets, accents, overly eyebrowed yokels and, inevitably, murdurr most foul.
A two-part procedural based, as the opening credits whisper, "On The Book Red Bones By Ann Cleeves", Shetland starts with an old woman getting shot in the gilet. While Perez (a knob) investigates, islanders with complexions like dead bread stand glumly at kitchen sinks in knitwear that speaks of long nights and minor livestock displacement. There are spats over land rights, »

She's Anna, she's Katy, and together they are Anna and Katy!
A couple of years after their well-received Comedy Lab, Anna Crilly and Katy Wix have finally got their own full-length sketch show, which starts this Wednesday on Channel 4.
As big fans of sketch, Digital Spy were very excited to sit down with the duo to quiz them about comedy, controversy, and sharing an award nomination with Rylan Clark. Here's what they had to say.
When did you decide to start doing sketch together?
Anna: "We met doing stand-up in 2003 and we weren't very good at it! Either of us. We both thought each other were funny."
Katy: "Dreadful... I hadn't really seen any comedy, that was my problem."
Anna: "I certainly wasn't ready to do an hour of stand-up at Edinburgh the following year. So I said to old Wixy, 'Let's get together and do some sketches'. And the rest is herstory. »
