“LEE Hazlewood changed everything,” says Nancy Sinatra. “I was doing bubblegum music and singing in higher keys and he said, ‘That’s not right. You’re not a virgin any more. You’ve been married and divorced. We need to get you where you belong.’ And he was right – it was silly to keep doing what I called ‘Nancy nice lady’.

Coincidentally, those are almost identical to my two main guitars, so great choices, Andrea. “I also play my dad’s classical guitar, and I have other guitars that are cheaper and…

The promise for the return of Scary Movie was that ‘Every line will be crossed’. With the Wayans Brothers involved for the first time in a quarter of a century, and comedy seemingly dulled by a supposed fear of causing offence in the 13 years since Scary Movie 5, the boast at least seemed deliverable. Couple that with a tonne of new horror to spoof, and you have the conditions for some of the most outrageous, offensive and hilarious dumb fun of the year. In the event, it doesn’t go anywhere near far enough to back up that tagline. It’s…
