Brighton bans Guardian from stadium over reporting on Tony Bloom * Reporters and photographers barred from Amex Stadium * Guardian says reporting is in public interest The Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion has banned the Guardian’s reporters and photographers from attending matches at its home ground after it reported on allegations relating to the club’s owner, Tony Bloom. The club notified the Guardian on Sunday to say it felt it “would be inappropriate for journalists and photographers from the Guardian to be accredited to matches at the Amex, starting from Sunday’s game against West Ham”. The move follows reports in the Guardian that have raised questions from MPs about the activities of Bloom, a billionaire who has made his money from gambling. Continue reading...

House at 20: perfectly mad 2000s television that has aged better than you’d think Hugh Laurie’s medical drama was once the most watched show in the world. Why is it now having a second life among Zoomers? Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email When the first episode of House aired, on this week in 2004, what we thought was good television was dramatically starting to shift. The West Wing was on its sixth season, The Wire was on its second. Mad Men was still three years away, Breaking Bad was four. Network TV was such a different beast to TV as we know it now: there were 24-odd episodes of House a season, meaning it would air once a week for about half a year. These days, it’s hard to think of a drama with more than eight episodes per season. If you believe quantity lessens quality, it’s strange to watch House now and see how good it (mostly) remains –fast, sharp and often very funny, with a magnetic central performance of Hugh Laurie who, before House, was known for playing bumbling toffs in British comedies and the dad in Stuart Little. You can watch Laurie’s audition tape for House online (shot in a dark hotel bathroom in Namibia) and immediately see why he got the role; suddenly George from Blackadder was a caustic, unshaven doctor, spitting out medical jargon with a perfect American accent while maintaining a limp and a semi-permanent frown.
