FILM

Another Mother's Son

Based on the true story of Louisa Gould, played by Jenny Seagrove, the film is a wartime drama set on the island of Jersey in the Second World War. Louisa finds out that she has lost her son at war, and when an escaped Russian prisoner of war turns up on her doorstep, she agrees to take him in, despite living on the Nazi-occupied Channel Island. She risks her life for the escapee, who she calls Bill and loves as her own son.

See our exclusive chat with Jenny and co-star Ronan Keating here!

FOOD AND DRINK

BabaBoom

Looking for brunch with a twist? BabaBoom in Battersea has started serving up their famed Persian plates, brunch style. Why not try the Good Morning kebab, made with date-glazed bacon, harissa labneh and sumac fried eggs? Keeping it clean? Then The Ultrarunner might be one for you - two poached eggs, harissa labneh, roasted squash tabbouleh, fattoush salad and za'taar dusted flatbread to mop up the goodness.

Those with a sweet tooth might want to try the barbary & tahini granola with natural yoghurt and soft spiced plums, or Baba's eggy bread, a devilish Persian style eggy bread with Nutella, clotted cream and homemade honeycomb.
