TV tonight: a starry celebration of the great Amy Winehouse

It’s 20 years since Amy Winehouse released her masterpiece Back to Black and 15 since she died at a frighteningly young age. A good way to appreciate how special she was is to watch the Amy Winehouse Band trot through a few lesser songs and cover versions and spot what’s missing: her playfulness, bite, anarchic charisma and taste. Winehouse mixed soul, jazz, hip-hop, two-tone and 60s girl groups because she loved that music more than anything. Without her animating fandom, a cover of Monkey Man by Toots and the Maytals is just a cover of Monkey Man by Toots and the Maytals; for all her old band’s precision and gusto, it has no pressing reason to exist. The main event, in which Back to Black producers including Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi hand-pick singers such as Jorja Smith, Lianne La Havas and Corinne Bailey Rae to recreate the album, is stronger except that it’s primarily staged for a BBC TV show, which means the flow is broken by onstage interviews and hagiographical patter from Jo Whiley. It’s a little grating to be constantly told that a concert is amazing even as it unfolds, but that’s TV for you. Spectral, minimalist …

Sitting in the restaurant of a Denver hotel, in the middle of a US tour with his band Bleachers, Jack Antonoff shrugs. “There’s this intense need to figure me out,” he frowns, “and I don’t really know where it comes from, because I keep explaining all of it.”He has a point. For the last 12 years, Bleachers have released a succession of albums packed with Antonoff’s strikingly personal and frank songs. Being strikingly personal and frank was the whole point. Antonoff had previously been guitarist in Fun, a pop-rock band who went supernova with their 2011 single We Are Young. Despite co-writing a song that sold 10m copies in the US alone, Antonoff says he “hated” the experience “because I wasn’t the leader, they weren’t my words, and I needed to write a song that if I fucking died tomorrow would be my life story”. He says he insisted his then-record label release said song I Wanna Get Better as Bleachers’ debut single “to let people know what they were in for”. It depicted Antonoff literally screaming in anguish, “losing my mind” with grief in the wake of his younger sister’s death, aged 13, from a brain tumour.

My mother would sing and dance and cook and clean in the kitchen, as many 80s moms did, to divas like Madonna and Paula Abdul. Material Girl made me think: “This is who I want to be.”The first single I bought I bought three records at the same time – Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette, a Sheryl Crow single and Waterfalls by TLC – from Sam the Record Man in Sarnia, Ontario, with money I’d saved up from doing chores around the house. My uncle was always trying to influence me with Canadian music, and he wasn’t wrong for doing so. The song I do at karaoke

His work in the Venice Biennale and at Paula Cooper Gallery turns history’s absences into artworks.

DATÇA SUMMER WORKSHOP BUILDS TIMBER-and-fabric pavilionDesigned and built as part of the Datça Summer Workshop 2026, a collaborative initiative between İstanbul Bilgi University, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, and Wentworth Institute of Technology, guided by design-build tutors including Sebastián Erazo and Stefano Pugliese, the Karaköy Timber Extension is a 55-sqm civic intervention in southwestern Turkey. Positioned along the perimeter of the village’s active celebration grounds, the timber pavilion provides shade, work surfaces, storage, and communal seating to support the collective labor and food preparation underlying village weddings, seasonal markets, and civic gatherings.all images ©Erazo PuglieseVERNACULAR ÇARDAK TYPOLOGY INFORMS REPEATED TIMBER FRAMESThe lightweight timber assembly, conceived by architectural practice Erazo Pugliese, adapts the structural logic of the çardak, a vernacular seasonal agricultural shelter native to the Datça Peninsula. Constructed without permanent concrete foundations, the timber frame sits directly on the terrain as an integrated piece of large-scale outdoor furniture.

When One Born Every Minute first aired in 2010, viewers loved its fly-on-the-wall take on life in a maternity unit, from midwives idly chatting about unusual pregnancy cravings to parents squabbling over whether to call their child Zeus. Almost two decades later, as the show is rebooted for a generation who spend their lives on social media, much has changed. Parents now share far more about their struggles with miscarriages, infertility and mental health; audiences have to be lured away from watching reels on their phones with more rigorous storytelling. “Quite a bit is different about the way that people have children,” said Will Rowson, executive producer at Dragonfly, which makes the show for Channel 4. “People are so used to sharing. They expect to share, there is a willingness to share, and that is a generational thing.”Peace, who will be featured with her twin newborns, wants viewers to understand the importance of ‘not letting things out of your control get to you’.
