In the battle, we see Maximus’ pet wolf. He was played by a Tervuren Belgian Shepherd called Kyte. Kyte also played another famous screen dog – he was Robbie Jackson’s dog Wellard in UK soap, Eastenders, for a few years.

As has been pointed out by others on other platforms, turns out if you type a meaningless phrase into Google, the AI decides it’s a proverb or idiom and hallucinates a meaning

“Today I’ll be investigating allegations that a close friend of Keir Starmer bought him a Twix in 1986 and that Keir didn’t repay him or buy an item of confectionery of the same value.”

I make no apology for the fact that this Dave Allen sketch is very silly.

Good evening.

All Saint's Church Brixworth, Northamptonshire is perhaps the most important survival of Anglo-Saxon architecture north of the Alps. Much of the C7th church remains from the reign of King Wulfhere in the form of a Roman Basilica. The stair turret is C10th. Spire is C14th.

Just finished watching all 93 surviving episodes of Sykes. In not one single episode does Eric Sykes make a joke about Hattie Jacques' size. He gets a lot of stick - working-class Tory etc. - but for me that's a firm comedy writer's decision that makes him a benign man.

Hattie Jacques leaves Kensington Register Office with her new husband, actor John Le Mesurier, London (1949)

[Wes Butters @wesbutters]

Hattie Jacques, the mother of the Carry Ons, died this day in 1980. She was 58. This is the only interview with her that's known to still exist. How sad that she felt she'd never be given anything other than comedy. (The photo comes from Kenneth Williams' private collection.)
