From coaching youth community theatre to supporting Huddersfield football club and delighting sci-fi fans at graduation ceremonies, the actor is fondly remembered Patrick Stewart – a life in pictures On Star Trek, Patrick Stewart could make anyone feel hopeful for humanity Patrick Stewart brought gravitas and complexity to the screen ‘He stood for the best of us’: William Shatner and more pay tribute What I always loved about Patrick was that he genuinely seemed connected to where he came from despite his global success. Once a Yorkshireman, always a Yorkshireman. I was lucky enough to see him at the Royal Shakespeare Company performing Hamlet, Merchant of Venice, and in Godot at the Haymarket, which is the only time the play has been so brilliantly performed as to make sense to me. I loved that he supported causes he clearly believed in, such as tackling domestic violence. He remained a good old-fashioned socialist. Got to applaud that.

Peter Berg’s handsomely made second world war drama about a football game before the battle of Okinawa is stirring but filled with eye-rolling dialogue Forgive me, but it is difficult not to be a little cynical about The Mosquito Bowl, Peter Berg’s grimly serious action feature situated (and marketed during many an NFL game) at the intersection of two predominant male interests: football and the second world war. Though both are certainly rich topics for cinema, and though I have been a fan of many a football/war story – most especially Berg’s NBC series Friday Night Lights – it is, let’s say, a tricky time for movies filled with dubiously nostalgic patriotism and masculinity. The trailer practically drips with a borderline parodic virility: a cadre of handsome up-and-coming male actors streaked with dirt; a group of men “trained for glory” and “called to war”, triumphantly hoisting aloft footballs, beer and guns to ponderous music. But Berg is a capable and battle-tested director who knows his way around both a clock-ticking thriller ( Deepwater Horizon , Lone Survivor ) and the football field. So while The Mosquito Bowl, adapted for Netflix by Berg and Mark L Smith from a nonfiction book by Buzz Bissinger, fulfills its promise of American male pablum – there is many a clunky monologue about honor and duty and the “white buzz” of adrenaline – it also delivers on competently made, absorbing action sequences. (In huge news for Friday Night Lights fans, the football scenes here are once again scored by Explosions in the Sky.) Both in sport and in war, Berg has a knack for grace within visual cacophony and chaos; graphic sequences in battle and from the 1944 Christmas Eve pickup game at Guadalcanal that gives the film its name suggest, far more than its anvil-heavy dialogue, the connections between the gridiron and the battlefield, how the fleetness and camaraderie of sport can be wielded for survival and killing. There is a stomach-churning catharsis in experiencing,
