Lena Dunham's new A-list filled Netflix show is supposed to show us the hilarious differences between Brits and Americans. Sadly, it is full of woke psychobabble and a torturous main character in her 30s who acts like a teenager: CLAUDIA CONNELL

Whenever Hollywood movies depict people living in London, they're invariably shown inhabiting flats they couldn't possibly afford, usually with a view of Tower Bridge or the London Eye from their bedroom window. So, it's to the credit of new comedy Too Much that when leading character Jess, an exuberant but needy New Yorker, relocates to London, she lives in a shabby flat on a north London council estate - even though it wasn't what she had in mind. Like so many Americans, Jess (Megan Stalter) grew up with a romanticised view of 'jolly old England'. She idled away her time in New York bingeing British costume dramas where 'women fan themselves and then die of tuberculosis'. To her, the word 'estate' conjured up visions of something out of a Jane Austen novel with dashing Mr Darcy and Rochester types at every turn - not grey blocks of flats with drug dealers on corners. The 'estate' misunderstanding is the first of many that occur, when two cultures collide. Given Jess's love of British rom-coms, it's fitting that this hotly anticipated series is made by Working Title Films, the production company behind such movies as Notting Hill and Love Actually. It's directed by Lena Dunham, creator of the acclaimed and ground-breaking series Girls, and co-written with her British husband Luis Felber, loosely basing the story on their own experience. When her horribly arrogant American boyfriend, Zev (Michael Zegen) cheats on her with beautiful influencer Wendy (Emily Ratajkowski), Jess agrees to be transferred to the London branch of the media agency she works for to try and mend her broken heart. Her nephew waves her off with a sage piece of advice, warning her that 'British people think Americans are stupid and vulgar but funny, while Americans think the British are snotty and pretentious but smart'. Will Sharpe, who plays Jess's love interest Felix, alongside Stalter. Claudia Connell writes: 'I'm not sure how realistic it is that an achingly cool musician like Felix would date a chubby girl who looks like she applies her make up in the dark.' By the end of episode one, Jess has already landed a British boyfriend. Wannabe rock star Felix (Will Sharpe) introduces her to Jaffa Cakes, explains what 'bog roll' means and as good as moves into her flat after the first date. What unfolds over ten episodes is a sometimes amusing, but mostly torturous, romp through their burgeoning relationship as they meet each other's friends and family and wonder if they are right for one another. Dunham's hit series Girls worked so well because it offered a refreshingly realistic look at the lives of women in their 20s. Still works-in-progress, they were feeling their way, trying men on for size and struggling with careers and finances. Too Much fails to hit its mark because, although her precise age is never given, Jess is in her mid-30s, yet still living the chaotic life of a teenager. She dresses like an oversized toddler in colourful romper suits and white tights, with giant bows in her hair and spends an awful lot of time crying in bathrooms while stalking Wendy - her love rival - online. Her immaturity quickly becomes grating. The show is at its best when it highlights the differences between Brits and Americans. There's a great scene where Jess's snobby boss, played by Richard E Grant, gives her a list of ten 'American' behaviours to avoid including her habit of announcing when she needs to pee and removing her shoes at her desk. It's at its worst and most tedious when the episodes - and sadly it's the majority of them - focus on dissecting the minutiae of every relationship. 'I want to hold space for how you're feeling,' is one example of the psychobabble the show is littered with. It's to be expected that the Millennial characters exist in a weird and woke bubble but, at times, that wokeness feels contrived and shoe-horned in. Take Jess's older sister (played by Dunham) who is newly single after her husband left her to explore a pansexual lifestyle. Then there's Jess's London colleagues who are cliched to the point of caricature - from the feisty exec toying with lesbianism, to her pink haired male PA, who spends his weekends at ketamine-fuelled orgies. If it's all meant to be satire, it's just not smart or original enough. Dunham has done much to speak out about a lack of body diversity in Hollywood and it's good to see Stalter, an actress who isn't a size zero, in the leading role. Jess spends much of the show semi-naked enjoying her wild sex life, and clearly loves her body. But to be brutally frank, I'm not sure how realistic it is that an achingly cool musician like Felix would date a chubby girl who looks like she applies her make up in the dark. 'Too Much' is something Felix accuses Jess of being after she has one of her many meltdowns and it's a phrase that Dunham admits her own husband used about her. Not an insult, rather a polite way of saying that sometimes the loud, brash, no-filter American behaviour needs to be toned down. Although there are laughs along the way and an impressive roll call of A lister cameos (Stephen Fry, Jessica Alba, Rita Ora, Emily Ratajkowski and Jennifer Saunders to name but a few). I imagine that, for most Brits, the series - and Jess in particular - really will be 'too much'. Ultimately, there's a fine line between cute and quirky and irritatingly exhausting and Jess (and the series) - sadly - lands the wrong side of it.

Steve Coogan to lead regeneration of Greater Manchester hometown

Comedian Steve Coogan has said he plans to "put back into a community that was very good to me" after being chosen to lead the regeneration of his hometown in Greater Manchester. The comedian has been announced as co-chairman of a mayoral development corporation (MDC) set up to boost the redevelopment of Middleton. His appointment was announced by the Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham alongside five other MDCs designed to boost growth in the region. Coogan said Middleton was a town "really rich in history, the history of people power" and was a "great place to grow up". He said: "I feel I owe the people of Middleton a debt. That's why I'm happy to be involved and talk to people in Middleton and ask them what they want and what they need."Steve Coogan, who grew up in Alkrington, will work with Rochdale Council in the role on proposals including restoring Middleton Arena, the town gardens, and plans to bring the Metrolink to the also announced former British Olympic champion Lord Sebastian Coe will chair a newly-established MDC for the regeneration of Old Trafford, including the development of Manchester United's new home stadium. An MDC is a statutory body set up by the mayor and given extra powers to speed up development and attract investment within a specific area. These include the ability to buy land, plan projects and work with businesses. Lord Coe said sports-led regeneration projects fostered strong communities and acted "as a catalyst for economic growth"."Twenty years on from securing the Olympic and Paralympic Games for this country, I'm ready to help deliver a vision of equal scale and ambition," he Council has estimated the regeneration of the area could bring 15,000 new homes, 48,000 new jobs and inject more than £4bn to the economy. As well as Middleton and Old Trafford, an MDC has been established for Bolton aimed at accelerating the proposed "Atom Valley" scheme. Another MDC covering Ashton and Stalybridge has also been established for a transport-led regeneration project. New underground A Greater Manchester Combined Authority spokesman said the projects would create tens of thousands of new jobs and deliver thousands of new homes, as well as new manufacturing sites and commercial spaces. Other pledges made by Burnham in the strategy include the introduction of half-price bus travel for 18-21 year olds from September and a free 24-hour bus travel pilot program for older and disabled people to begin in August. A new tram stop to service new homes in Victoria North, the extension of Metrolink to Stockport and commuter lines being brought into the Bee Network have also been also said he would also ask Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) to "look at options" for underground tram and train services at Manchester Piccadilly station.

Liam Gallagher blasted 'half-time rock stars' and claimed they're just 'in it for the money' in scathing interview before fleeing the stage after opening show of Oasis' reunion tour

Liam Gallagher furiously blasted 'half-time rock stars' for being 'in it for the money', years before Oasis' money-making reunion tour. The singer, 52, reunited with his brother Noel for the first in a string of blockbuster concerts last week, finally putting their differences aside after a 16-year feud. After the show, it was revealed that Liam wasted no time in racing off stage and straight into a car, with The Mail On Sunday revealing there was a distinctly 'frosty' atmosphere backstage between the brothers. Noel and Liam are thought to be earning around £50 million each from the reunion tour, with fans shelling out hundreds of pounds in a bid to secure tickets. It's a stark contrast to Liam's comments in 2017 interview, when he hit out at stars who little effort into their performance. Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, he said: 'A lot of these rock n' roll stars these days are coming in and just getting the check, do you know what I mean? 'Imagine Keith Moon drumming his a**e off and then going home. You need to boot a few things and that, know what I mean?' Last week, The Mail on Sunday revealed there was a distinctly 'frosty' atmosphere backstage between Liam and Noel. When the two-hour set at Cardiff's Principality Stadium ended, Liam, 52, wasted no time in racing off stage and straight into a black four-by-four vehicle. Left behind was Noel, 58, still waving to fans before slowly walking off with the rest of the band. It is understood the brothers shunned each other after the show as they were staying in separate places, with guitarist and songwriter Noel at the four-star Parkgate Hotel, which backs on to the stadium. The father-of-three was staying there with daughter Anais, 25, who supported him at the concert from the VIP section with her 26-year-old actor boyfriend, Callum Howells. Liam, meanwhile, was staying 20 miles away, close to the Celtic Manor Resort, where previous guests have included then US President Barack Obama. Friends fear relations between the brothers may deteriorate to breaking point, resulting in them ending the tour halfway through their worldwide 41-gig trip. A source close to Oasis told The MoS: 'They can't stand each other because they still have not forgiven each other. It's all very frosty and awkward. We all doubt they'll make it to Australia at this rate.' Oasis play five nights in Melbourne and Sydney from the end of October, with five more gigs in South America scheduled. Live '25 is expected to earn them £600million, with ticket prices ranging from £200 to £2,000. Earlier in the evening, Noel was spotted at the back of the stadium quietly supporting the Verve frontman, Richard Ashcroft, who opened for Oasis, while Liam was nowhere to be seen. Later, just moments before going on stage, the Gallaghers were seen standing with their backs to one another just metres apart, ignoring each other. But when they went on stage, the brothers gave the crowd what they wanted by holding hands momentarily before kicking off their 23-song Oasis marathon to a wall of cheering. They further delighted fans at the end of the gig when Liam strolled over to his older brother and embraced him in a brief handshake and shoulder bump. But the singers did not always appear in unity, often occupying different sides of the stage. When Noel played his solo songs such as Don't Look Back in Anger and Masterplan, Liam left the stage and walked past his brother without looking at him. He returned only when he was needed on vocals, and Noel would often turn his back to the audience and slink into the background. But the lingering animosity appeared to go unnoticed by the joyful fans who hailed the comeback 'biblical'. Oasis were back on stage in Cardiff before returning to home turf in Manchester on Friday. In August the brothers announced they would be reuniting as 'the guns have fallen silent' – an indication their often vicious quarrel was over. They famously fell out after a backstage row in Paris in 2009, with Noel insisting he would never work with Liam again and describing him as 'a fork in a world of soup'. Their relationship appears to have remained fractious in the run-up to the worldwide reunion tour, with the pair turning up to rehearsals at different times. While Noel was practising with the band in May, his younger brother had flown to his £3million mansion in France. Last month, the pair had delighted fans by appearing in an Adidas shoot together but they reportedly spent only 14 minutes in the same building for the advert campaign. Liam arrived an hour earlier than Noel, insiders said, and computer software was said to have been used to mesh the two together for the photograph.
