As a song contest on a space station descends into terror, Ncuti Gatwa gives his most disturbing performance yet – and the Doctor in rage mode is terrifying

For an episode that started out like a joyfully camp romp into the world of Eurovision, Juno Dawson turned in a script that truly had ice in its heart, in just the way the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) told Kid (Freddie Fox) that the Time Lord now had ice in his hearts.

Doctor Who stories often feature alien invasions, conquest, destruction and the desire for revenge, but they have seldom so bleakly painted the determination to carry out a mass casualty terrorism event. That in turn provoked one of the most extreme reactions we have ever seen from the lead character.

Former coaches and teammates reflect on the Leicester striker’s singular journey to the pinnacle of the game

Where to start with the wiry teenager turned Premier League icon who once worked 12-hour shifts in a carbon-fibre factory? Perhaps at the beginning of an extraordinary career, his release by Sheffield Wednesday and those days earning £30 a game at Stocksbridge Park Steels hounding defenders in the Northern Premier League. For six months an electronic ankle tag – after he was convicted of assault – meant midweek matches were off-menu and games often saw him being subbed after an hour so he could jump over fences and into his parents’ car to beat his 6pm curfew. By then, his work was usually done.

Word of mouth spread. He signed for Halifax for £15,000 in 2010, then Fleetwood a year later for 10 times that. Ten months on he joined Leicester in the Championship in a £1m deal, a non-league record. The story goes that he first appeared on Nigel Pearson’s radar while scoring 66 goals across 107 Stocksbridge appearances. A friend of the Leicester manager who ran a fish and chip shop in Sheffield mentioned his name, a throwaway comment about a prolific striker in the eighth tier. Soon scouts were flocking to Fleetwood and Leicester beat off competition from Blackpool, Peterborough and Southampton to sign a 25-year-old by the name of Jamie Vardy.

It was a day that will live forever in the hearts of everyone connected to Crystal Palace; history made, legends created. The south London club were on a mission to avenge previous Wembley pain – the FA Cup final defeats against Manchester United from 1990 and 2016 – and to win a first major trophy. They put their supporters through the wringer because it is written that they must suffer. But when the final whistle blew, the joy was boundless. Who knows when it will feel real?

The goalscorer was Eberechi Eze, Palace’s sorcerer-in-chief, and it came in the 16th minute from an assist by Daniel Muñoz, who was irrepressible up and down the right. But the real hero was surely Dean Henderson, who saved a penalty just after the half-hour from Omar Marmoush, and it was hardly the goalkeeper’s only vital intervention.

Linklater recreates the making of the landmark French New Wave classic with an awestruck tastefulness that smooths over any disruptiveness

Breathless, deathless … and pointless? Here is Richard Linklater’s impeccably submissive, tastefully cinephile period drama about the making of Godard’s debut 1960 classic À Bout de Souffle, that starred Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo as the star-crossed lovers in Paris. Linklater’s homage has credits in French and is beautifully shot in monochrome, as opposed to the boring old colour of real life in which the events were actually happening; he even cutely fabricates cue marks in the corner of the screen, those things that once told projectionists when to changeover the reels. But Linklater smoothly avoids any disruptive jump-cuts.

It’s a good natured, intelligent effort for which Godard himself, were he still alive, would undoubtedly have ripped Linklater a new one. (When Michel Hazanavicius made Redoubtable in 2017 about Godard’s making of his 1967 film La Chinoise, the man himself called that “a stupid, stupid idea”; Hazanavicius wasn’t even making a film about Godard’s first and biggest hit.

That is about as much French as I can manage which may be a little tricky tonight as Switzerland is sure to serve up some multi-lingual hosting this evening.

A couple of potentially significant early moves. Jon Rahm, who has been woefully out of sorts in the majors since defecting to LIV, but is finally looking his old self this week, has birdied 1 and 3 to move to -4. He’s joined there by Bryson DeChambeau, whose major-championship form, by contrast, has arguably been boosted since his move to LIV. He guides in a 30-foot right-to-left swinger up 1 for birdie, and to get off to a flier.

-8: Vegas
-6: Pavon, Fitzpatrick, Kim
-5: Homa, Scheffler
-4: Rahm (4), DeChambeau (1), Thorbjornsen, Bezuidenhout, Fox, Smalley, Poston, MacIntyre, Stevens, McCarthy, Gerard

Man, 26, apprehended at Luton airport by counter-terrorism police in connection with fires that included damage to a car

A second man has been arrested in connection with suspected arson attacks on two properties in London and a vehicle linked to Keir Starmer, police have said.

The 26-year-old was arrested at about 1.45pm on Saturday at London Luton airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life, the Metropolitan police said.

The arrest was made by counter-terrorism officers from the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit and the suspect has been taken into police custody in London, the force added.

Officers from the Met’s counter-terrorism command have led the investigation into the three incidents.

One was a fire at the prime minister’s family home in north-west London, which he currently lets out to his sister-in-law, the Guardian understands. The blaze was reported to police by firefighters in the early hours of Monday. Police said damage was caused to the property’s entrance but nobody was hurt.

A car that Starmer had sold to a neighbour last year was set alight four days earlier on the same street.

On 11 May, firefighters dealt with a small fire at the front door of a house where the Labour leader is understood to have lived in the 1990s before it was converted into flats. One person was helped to safety by firefighters wearing breathing apparatus, the London fire brigade said.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation has been asked to contact the Met.

A 21-year-old man, Roman Lavrynovych, has already been charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life and appeared in court on Friday.

The Ukrainian national was remanded in custody after appearing at Westminster magistrates court. He did not enter any pleas to the charges.

Lavrynovych will appear next at the Old Bailey for a plea and trial preparation hearing on 6 June.

Athens takes legal action after its most famous monument given role in creating ‘extremely unpleasant image’

Greece is taking legal action after authorities were caught unaware by the fifth-century BC Acropolis playing a star role in an Adidas advertising campaign.

The decision to feature the western world’s enduring symbol of democracy for commercial purposes in a hi-tech drone show has left Athens with no choice but to press charges, the country’s culture minister said.
