Anyone remember a very Scottish cartoon called 'Meeow!' on CITV around the millennium? I just remembered Stanley Baxter did all the voices for it!

[Halfbrick @HalfbrickVHS]

RIP Stanley Baxter. Must be the very last major entertainer and comedian of his era. An absolute giant. His send ups of Queen Elizabeth were legendary

Anyone miss looking around their local Woolies as the winter nights start setting in? If someone had told me Woolworths would be the first big high street name to disappear I would never have believed it. Best for CDs, paints, electrics & pick and mix sweets.

Shortly after entertainer Rod Hull passed away in 1999, his captive Emu escaped. This flightless, but very dangerous, bird attacked fourteen people between 2000 and 2003. There have been no verified sightings since this photograph was taken in Hastings in 2008.
