The Week In Review (10-16 Oct)

Watching Friends WILL help you pass your exams (maybe).

We round-up the last week in music, including news you might’ve missed, our #SongOfTheDay playlist and Classic Of The Week

Heeeeeere’s SONGWRITING, Team Songwriting that is – sorry, your beloved Team Songwriting – and we’ve got yet another corker of a weekly round-up that’ll have Comedy Central addicts purring. We’ve guffawed at the Polish thief who hid in a washing machine to evade police, felt more than a little queasy at news of pigeons being sucked into bread-making machine at a mill and been positively delighted to discover that watching Friends can help you pass your SATs. See pals, watching Comedy Central is good for you.

• Manic Street Preachers’ Holy Bible 20th Anniversary tour is the subject of a new 65-minute documentary film. BE PURE. BE VIGILANT. BEHAVE has been directed by Kieran Evans and premieres in Cardiff on 19 October.
