Digested week: Kim Kardashian’s corset, dated insults – and a fuss at the Garrick

Credit for the success of the TV show Baby Reindeer is largely owed to one woman, Jessica Gunning, who rescues Richard Gadd's baggy, self-absorbed script with her brilliant performance as Martha, Gadd's stalker. (When Gunning disappears, mid-series, we are effectively left in a room with a man doing bad standup). For the last week or so, coverage of the show's success - it's No 1 on Netflix in the UK and No 4 in the US - has rubbed shoulders with commentary about the ethics of the race to unearth the real people on whom the seven-part drama is based.
