In pictures: ecstatic Oasis fans at Wembley for the band's first London reunion show
Oasis' reunion shows in Cardiff and Manchester blew fans' minds – so the hype for the duo's first London concert in 16 years was, naturally, sky-high. On Friday July 25 Liam and Noel (plus Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Bonehead, with Joey Waronker) made a triumphant return to the capital at Wembley Stadium. Wembley is the biggest venue on the UK leg of Oasis' Live '25 tour. A whopping 90,000 punters – many of them donning bucket hats, sports jackets, football tops and official merch – descended on northwest London for the show, and Time Out was there to capture the occasion. Photographer Chris Bethell headed to Wembley for London's first Oasis reunion gig. Here are his highlights.

Home seen on beloved Aussie TV show hits the market for $2.4M - so can you recognise this iconic house?
A historic, and once famous, home in Williamstown, Victoria has hit the market with a price guide of $2.19 million to $2.4 million. Some may recognise the 8 Thompson St property as the house that appeared on the police drama Blue Heelers from 1994 to 2006, reported on Friday. Built in 1907, the home was used in external shots for the TV show, alongside recently sold 10 Thompson St which served as the fictional Mt Thomas police station. Both properties are heritage-listed as they once served as real-life police stations in Williamstown, previously known as the Sergeant and Watchhouse Keeper quarters. House number eight features three bedrooms, a sitting room that could double as a fourth, Baltic pine floors, decorative fireplaces and pressed-metal ceilings. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It was last sold in 2003 for $832,500, making the current owner a potential $1,567,500 in profit on the upcoming sale. Anthony Christakakis, from Jellis Craig, revealed the local council have approved plans to extend the home and redesign the garden. 'The owners who intended to do the extension have moved overseas for work reasons,' he said. 'We have had lots of interest with some young families, especially locals. 'I think, being on a corner block over 700sq m with the potential to subdivide, subject to council approval, creates endless possibilities.' He went on to say number ten next door sold to a family earlier this year. The vintage cottage that served as a major location for the beloved Aussie series Blue Heelers hit the market in February with a price guide of $2.8 million to $3.1 million. The five-bedroom, two-bathroom Federation pad featured in the long-running cop drama as the fictional Mount Thomas police station. Built in 1907, the home was used in external shots for the TV show, alongside recently sold 10 Thompson St which served as the fictional Mt Thomas police station Blue Heelers, which ran for 12 years from 1994 to 2006 on the Seven Network, starred a large cast of fan favourites including Lisa McCune, Julie Nihill and John Wood. Located only 14km from the CBD, the gorgeously preserved home was seen in exterior scenes in Blue Heelers which was set in a small Victorian country town. Agents behind the sale told the Herald Sun the listing of the charming home attracted views from potential buyers with fond memories of the show. Blue Heelers is the fourth-most popular TV show in Australian history, with 25 Logies to its name, while lead actress Lisa McCune won four Gold Logies for the series. Major Australian actors who went on to stellar careers were featured in guest roles over the show's long run, including Hollywood star Hugh Jackman and Peter O'Brien. Other actors included Charles 'Bud' Tingwell, from Crawford's classic Homicide series of the '60s and '70s, as well as SeaChange star John Howard. Australians were in tears when Lisa's character Maggie Doyle was fatally shot in dramatic scenes on the show in 2000. Almost two decades on from the iconic TV moment, the actress revealed in 2018 that she never wanted the police officer to die. House number eight features three bedrooms, a sitting room that could double as a fourth, Baltic pine floors, decorative fireplaces and pressed-metal ceilings In the police drama, Maggie was shot and killed a day before she was due to enter witness protection, after she found a computer disk with information about a gang. She told 'I understand why they had to do it, but I think because I knew she had such a strong, young female following I felt really strongly that I wanted her to stay alive.' Lisa went on to feature in another long-running series Sea Patrol from 2007-2011. The four-time Gold Logie winner made headlines in 2024 when she won Dancing With The Stars Australia. The actress took out the Mirror Ball Trophy with her professional dance partner Ian Waite in a tense finale on the Channel Seven dancing competition. She was also awarded $20,000 for her chosen charities, the RCD Foundation and the Harrison Riedel Foundation.

Operation Dark Phone: Murder By Text – this jaw-dropping tale of how police hacked gangs is like The Wire
Police work rarely resembles The Shield or Line of Duty. It's mostly paperwork, online training and referring people to driver offender courses. But sometimes life imitates art. In 2020, international police hacked the encrypted phone network EncroChat, used by organised crime gangs across the globe. For 74 days, they had access to every message and picture used to coordinate drug trafficking, money laundering, kidnap and murder. 'It was the LinkedIn of organised crime,' explains Matt Horne, a former gold commander at the UK's National Crime Agency (not the actor from Gavin & Stacey). Operation Dark Phone: Murder By Text (Sunday, 9pm, Channel 4) is a documentary-drama cleverly built around these messages, which appear like screenplay dialogue across scenes. It's an arresting insight into how criminal gangs work – and just as revealing, how they talk. 'Sweets' are bullets, while a 'pineapple' is a grenade. A violent British criminal known as Live-long, lying low in Spain, organises an acid attack on a rival, in between sending pictures of his breakfast. Cucumber slices on labneh with paprika – nice. The trick, he instructs, is to stop the victim getting to a sink. Hold them down a few minutes, so the acid can do its job. Less nice. Incredibly, there is dark humour amid the grim. Mostly courtesy of the crims, who go by ridiculous two-word usernames on the anonymous network. There's a Chris Morris absurdity to Mystical-steak, Valued-bridge, Top-shag. At one point, an agent explains how Live-long interacted with Ball-sniffer (who one assumes is lower down). For their part, the agents and white hats are living out the most exciting series of The Wire. In a year, they would usually encounter fewer than a hundred explicit threats to life. Once the curtain was lifted, they intercepted more than 150 in six weeks. Logistically, that's a problem. The show knows how to grab a viewer. Storylines develop, introduce formidable characters, and bring the action to a climax. Ace-prospect imports AKs and Glocks to the UK, one of which is bought by Live-long, who is looking to take on Ace-prospect in a personal revenge attack. Organised through go-betweens, neither side knows who they are dealing with. The NCA has a 24-hour delay when receiving message data, and must work round the clock to close the gap. When Ace-prospect's hitman throws a pineapple into the garden of a rival, which fails to explode, the feds are faced with a dilemma: how to protect the lives of children nearby while keeping their intelligence and mission a secret? This is all far sexier than Crimewatch. Instead of losers sticking up BP garages, here are wealthy playas orchestrating crimes from overseas. Is it ethical? Is there a risk of making the criminals look cooler than their cucumbers? The glossy recreations showcase swimming pools, gym-fit bodies, weapons familiar from movies. The actor playing Live-long looks like Claes Bang, and spends the episode with his top off. Yet this is a morality tale. 'I'm gonna take his eyes out and chase him around every jail,' writes Live-long from a darkened room, his teeth-whitening gumshield glowing ultra-violet like a nightmare acid trip. The empty glamour is not just the medium, it's the message. These criminals' downfall is their superficiality, their constant messaging and oversharing, their boasting and social media-amplified physical vanity. Live-long's true identity is eventually uncovered because he sends a triumphant selfie. Can you imagine an old-school career criminal hearing that? I picture them slapping their forehead; except they've forgotten to unclench their fist and knock themselves out. The show's charge comes from knowing this is real, not merely dramatic writing. Part of that charge is fear – a reminder that there are sociopaths among us who hold life cheap and take joy in violence. Operation Dark Phone is a four-part series, from the makers of 24 Hours in Police Custody, and promises far more jaw-dropping revelations as well as some overdue justice. Don't watch it if your faith in humanity is wavering. I'll probably be giving pineapples in the supermarket a wide berth too, just in case.
