Hi, is the renowned American thespian Tom Selleck still knocking about ? He is best known for such enduring old classics as Magnum PI.

Not just a cover, it also contains deadly UB40!

Possibly, but given its pretty much an open secret her issues stem from being groomed as a child, one does hope she'll get a happier/better lot in life eventually.

Alipio Vera dead at 77.

A right-wing former mayor with numerous kids - some unacknowledged so nobody knows exactly how many. Are we sure Boris Johnson isn't just Clint's latest & greatest role?

Ohh right.. for some reason, I always think America when somebody says president (although other countries have them)

As promised a movie survivors deadpool. RULES Pick a film with at least three (or four) remaining cast members and submit the name of the film and the three selected cast members on this forum The first player to have all three of their cast members die wins the round. No two players can pick the same film but are allowed to duplicate cast members If two players end up with their single remaining pick being the same performer then they are obliged to add a tie breaker to their team this can be any member of their film's cast or crew. At the end of the round entries are wiped and everyone picks again. All films in the previous rounds are out of bounds (though could be reintroduced in the subsequent round). Winning films will go into the Hall of Fame and are out of bounds for the whole game. Entries start from Monday 20th August but late entries will be permitted. However late entries may not duplicate actors.

Indrek Toome, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic 1988-1990 (Bruno Saul's successor, Edgar Savisaar's predecessor) dead at 79. Just Arnold Rüütel, Vaino Väljas and maybe Enn-Arno Silluri left from the heads of the Estonian SSR.

I can remember a Blue Peter episode where they made a "Dalek" out of egg boxes. It was utterly shite and nothing at all like a Dalek. I also remember that they got complaints about it on "Junior Points Of View", enough for one of the presenters (Christopher Trace, if memory serves) to be quite defensive about it. "We spoke to the man who invented them, and he said that's how he made them." Even at my very youthful age, I knew that was bullshit.

Depends on what you mean by good? It's pretty dated now (as is any television from the 1970s) both in look and feel (all this dystopian worldview is very much of it's time). However, I've got the first series on DVD and I enjoyed it (I'm only old enough to remember when it had Avon as the leader not Blake and subsequently being confused by the title!) and I hope to get the second series in the not too distant future... I'll give it a go then. Also, I think you'll find that the first series is up on youtube. I started watching it last Sunday and now I'm up to Series 1 Episode 7. I think it's brilliant. I love the downbeat tetchiness and the strong characterisation. I agree that the special-effects are very, very dated but if you can get past that there is a lot there.The politics are quite complicated too. The only small problem I've got is that I already know what happens at the very end from having seen it on lots of clip shows.But even that is not a problem because the characters are so interesting that you want to see how they get there and what happens along the way. I highly recommend it and I'm usually only a mild sci-fi fan.

Bloody hell, they covered him every couple of months in all sorts of UK media, then he dies and nothing... hopefully his death will be mentioned in one of those semi-annual "Nazis still being hunted" pieces they do to draw in the excitable crowd.

Who cares about Harry Potter, how about JK Rowlings. Way to old for me, but somebody must want Harry's moma.
