What was Major Roy Franklin's nickname in The Guns of Navarone?

The Guns of Navarone Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 106 out of 129 people found the following review useful: Affectionately crafted piece of art that is sadly under-appreciated by the typical modern "soundbite" moviegoer. from Gilbert, AZ 15 August 2004 Wow - I used to think "Guns Of Navarone" was a try-hard, almost-there type of near-classic war film that had muffled sound, used a bad coloring process, was poorly lit, was limited by budget and the technology of the time. Boy, was I WRONG - I had seen this film several times, all on conventional/cable TV, VHS and even Laserdisc prior to the recent UCLA restoration now out on DVD. I never completely engaged in the reality/experience of this movie. It was as if I was listening to Beethoven's Ninth on an AM clock radio in an adjacent room. The newly-restored DVD in its original widescreen format showcased on a big screen TV in surround sound is the ONLY way to fully take in this piece of art, unless you perchance get lucky enough to see it in a cine complex. Unless you have viewed this film in its original condition in a theater or restored, letterboxed with proper-sized screen and sound, your previous/future comments have ZERO merit, as far as I'm concerned. So many people here have commented on this film "lacking action" and being a "bore" - I could not disagree more. Although I have not read the book (something I rarely do anymore due to an unfortunate accident years ago), this movie resembled a well-written novel. It was FULL of REAL character development, bringing you mixed emotions - at times you love, feel for, loathe or despise them - even the German army officer, during the interrogation/capture scene (which I will not spoil), had a warm, admirable quality about him. I will purchase/rent/borrow an audiobook of this, if at all possible, because Alistair MacLean has some of the best written adventure material ever brought to film. The action in this film was aplenty - maybe not a Schwarzeneger thrillride, but that would have made it completely unbelievable. The character development, internal conflict and subplots more than adequately fill the non-action lulls, if you want to call them that. One reviewer here commented on a shipwreck scene of 15 minutes that seemed like forever - the entire realistic shipwreck sequence was barely five minutes long, FYI. Without going into too much "spoiling" detail, there was constant suspense while the Germans were nipping at their heels all film long. It contained espionage, several hand-to-hand combat sequences, several shootings, knifings, cars/trucks being blown up, carjackings, explosions, dive bombings, mortar bombardments, strafings, assassinations, etc. With six men and two women against several dozen Germans, you can't justifiably get much more action packed into a script unless you would unnecessarily/unrealistically insert more just to intensify the film. The film did not really need intensifying as the plot was strong enough on its own merits - as were all the characters and the subplots surrounding them. The editing is top-notch. This film is lovingly woven into a tapestry with nice artistic dissolves/fades/graphics transitioning scenes (chapters) and furthering character development and story lines - the accompanying music only enhances those transitions like adding melted butter and/or salt to cooked vegetables enhancing their flavor. To me, this film is very warm and comfortable when it needs to be, but also cold and abrasive at times to make its social commentary. Carl Foreman scripted another great masterpiece with his usual pro/anti-war statements wrapped neatly in an entertaining adventure that makes one think. The end retrospective sequence with the Dimitri Tiomkin score is indelibly touching and unforgettable - a rather unorthodox approach for a "war movie." The sweeping landscape photography and several cultural touches truly captured the beauty and flavor of Greece and its proud people. Ironically, when at Blockbuster, I coincidentally chose this film to view with my son - on the Opening Day of the XXVIII Oly

What were the names of the gay couple in Four Weddings and a funeral?

Four Weddings and a Funeral Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 61 out of 70 people found the following review useful: Droll romantic comedy showcases Hugh Grant in his best role. from North Hemis 28 February 2002 Richard Curtis, author of Rowan Atkinson's sublime Blackadder TV series, here contributes a romantic comedy screenplay which is actually romantic AND actually funny. American hacks should take note: it's possible to write comedy based on the battle of the sexes that doesn't rely on misogyny and gross-out humor. Hugh Grant at his most charming leads a talented ensemble cast in this warm-hearted tale of unrequited and requited love that so impressed stodgy Academy voters it actually got a Best Picture nomination. I won't quibble with those who say it was undeserving -- although some of the other user comments are ridiculously hostile to such a lightweight romp -- but I will defend its makers for crafting a genuine crowd-pleaser that relies on story, character and witty dialogue for its appeal. The essence of good romantic comedy is what Curtis and director Mike Newell capture particularly well in this film (more effectively than Curtis' other Grant hit, NOTTING HILL) and it's this: love makes us do stupid things. We err in choice, we blunder in execution, we make utter fools of ourselves, and yet we don't give up. We still strive. We still search for that perfect someone. And the glory is -- sometimes we get lucky. Going along on this quest with Grant and friends is as enjoyable an entertainment as you're lucky to find in your local DVD section. Was the above review useful to you? 66 out of 80 people found the following review useful: A British Romantic Comedy as Good as Hollywood at its Best from Tunbridge Wells, England 15 July 2005 Richard Curtis's films have sometimes been criticised for giving a too cosy, conservative view of British society. "Four Weddings and a Funeral" seems to take place in an England of eternal summer, a land which consists almost entirely of green and pleasant countryside and the more exclusive districts of London and which is populated solely by members of the upper and upper-middle classes. The script does cross the border into an equally idealised Scotland of mists, tartans and Highland flings, but even these scenes were actually shot in Surrey. Such criticism contains an element of truth, but is largely irrelevant when it comes to assessing the merits of the film because it ignores the fact that most romantic comedies (in other media as well as in the cinema) are set against a relatively narrow background in terms of social class, often enabling the writer to satirise the manners of that class. Jane Austin, for example, the most successful writer of romantic comedy in nineteenth-century England, set all her works among the wealthy landed gentry or prosperous bourgeoisie of the day. Most of the action of the film takes place either at, or immediately before or after, one of the four church services mentioned in the title. The main character, Charles, is a well-to-do young man, probably educated at public school, and clearly a member of the professional classes, although we never actually discover what his job is. The film starts with a wedding at which Charles is best man to Angus, one of his old friends, and at which he meets Carrie, an attractive young American woman. The film then traces the ups and downs of the relationship of Charles and Carrie, via two more weddings (the second of which is Carrie's own, after she and Charles have split up), the funeral of Gareth, another friend of Charles who suffers a heart attack while dancing at Carrie's wedding, and one final marriage ceremony. Hugh Grant, as Charles, gives a very good performance. Grant has a relatively narrow range as an actor, but he is capable of some excellent work within that range. There are some subtle differences between Charles and William, the character Grant played in "Notting Hill", another romantic comedy written by Curtis. William is a shy young man who uses ironic, self-deprecating humour as a cover for

Two different doctors appear in Diagnosis Murder, and Grey's Anatomy, but have the same name. What is it?

10 Cases of TV Shows Having Characters With the Same Name - CraveOnline CraveOnline 10 Cases of TV Shows Having Characters With the Same Name There are an infinite number of names out there. Why did these shows choose the same ones? Aug 19th, 2014 same name tv characters, eric forman that '70s show, eric foreman house For laughs, TV shows occasionally introduce two characters with the same name to stir things up. Examples include "The Adventures of Pete & Pete," Sean and Shawn on "Rescue Me," and Homer Simpson and Det. Homer Simpson on "The Simpsons." But less intentional and more hilarious is when two entirely separate shows pull the same stunt. Eric Forman/Eric Foreman from "That '70s Show"/"House M.D." These two shows couldn't have less to do with each other when it comes to their subject matter, but like many examples on this list, they appeared on the same network. In this case, it was FOX. While that might not seem like the biggest deal in the world, keep in mind the shows were also on during the same time period. Even though the character of Eric Forman from "That '70s Show" left the series at the end of the seventh season, there were 18 episodes where he was still on the show as "House M.D." began its first season, and that's not even including his appearance in the Season 8 finale. same name tv characters, dr. shephard lost, dr. shepherd grey's anatomy Dr. Shephard/Dr. Shepherd from "Lost"/"Grey's Anatomy" It may be a little soon in the list to be making exceptions, but bear with us, as this one comes a bit more full circle in the next slide for you sticklers out there. Yes, we are aware that the Dr. Shephard we are referring to from "Lost" went by Jack more often than not, and the "Grey's Anatomy" Dr. Shepherd even spelled his name a little differently, but again, these were two show on the same network (ABC) running at the same time. You'd think they'd be on the lookout for stuff like this considering both were immensely popular, too. same name tv characters, dr. mark sloan, diagnosis murder, grey's anatomy Dr. Mark Sloan from "Diagnosis Murder/"Grey's Anatomy" Boom. Full circle. It turns out Dr. Shepherd wasn't the only repeat name on "Grey's Anatomy." This time, there isn't even a spelling difference, and the characters are both legitimate medical doctors. Sure, their audiences were of two completely different demographics and the shows themselves weren't even on the same network, nor did they air at the same time, but come on. "Diagnosis Murder" was on the air for eight seasons and Dr. Sloan was THE main character. Couldn't the other Dr. Sloan have easily been given at least a different first name? same name tv characters, sarah walker, brothers & sisters, chuck Sarah Walker from "Brothers & Sisters"/"Chuck" Again, here are two shows that didn't necessarily appeal to the same crowd or appear on the same network, but had lead characters by the same name, regardless. In this example's defense, however, Sarah Walker is a very common name. Still, how hard is it to look around your writer's room and ask "Hey, do any shows currently have a character named Sarah Walker on them?" You'd think that SOMEBODY would speak up at that point, but maybe they simply didn't care. same name tv characters, lyla garrity, wonderland, friday night lights Lyla Garrity from "Wonderland"/"Friday Night Lights" Considering that only a whopping two episodes of "Wonderland" even aired before ABC pulled the plug on this series based around the day to day lives of doctors and patients in a mental institution, you probably don't even remember that the show had a character named Lyla Garrity on it. But creator Peter Berg certainly does. In fact, he later gave Minka Kelly's character on another TV show he created, "Friday Night Lights," the same name because it just so happened to be the name of his first crush. Talk about throwing yourself into your work. same name tv characters, pamela barnes ewing dallas, pamela barnes supernatural, pamela rebecca barnes dallas 2012 Pamela Barnes Ewing/Pamela Barnes/Pamela Rebecca Barnes from "Dallas"/"Sup

What was the nickname of Dr Leonard McCoy in the original Star Trek series?

Star Trek McCoy, Leonard H. STARFLEET HISTORICAL FILE: McCoy, Leonard H. Mid-level Biography Brief Mode Full Name: Leonard H. McCoy, M.D. Year of birth: 2227 Parents: Mr. and Mrs. David McCoy Education: University of Mississippi, 2245-49; medical school, 2249-53 Marital status: Divorced Quarters: Original Enterprise : 3F 127 Starfleet Career Summary 2266 – As lieutenant commander, named chief medical officer under Capt. James T. Kirk 2270 – Retires to private medical practice 2271 – Returns to duty under Starfleet reactivation clause, promoted to commander as chief medical officer on refit U.S.S. Enterprise for V'Ger mission 2285 – As Academy medical faculty and training instructor, forced into Genesis mission; detained over leaks regarding secret Genesis Project 2286 – Charged but cleared with shipmates in theft of U.S.S. Enterprise 2287 – Returns to active Enterprise service under Kirk 2293 – Participated in Khitomer peace mission after liberation from Klingon Rura Penthe prison 2364 – As retired admiral, gave inspection tour of Galaxy-class U.S.S. Enterprise upon departure Nicknamed 'Bones' by his longtime friend and commander, Captain James T. Kirk, McCoy replaced Mark Piper as chief medical officer in 2266 on one of the ship's five-year missions but clearly became the most renowned of its CMOs. By that first year he had already won the commendations of the Legion of Honor, awards of valor, and was decorated by Starfleet Surgeons. His temperament was sometimes argumentative, a cynic's outer crustiness masking deep caring beneath the surface. His "old South" roots led to the old-time physician manner of doctoring, with a Southern accent that was most apparent when under stress. He distrusts transporter technology and travels by shuttlecraft whenever possible. McCoy was married once and later divorced, a relationship never discussed except for his one daughter, Joanna, who later graduated from nursing school. In the era before ship's counselors, McCoy played his role as psychologist expertly to the hilt — especially for the ship's two senior officers. As such an emotional watchdog he was not afraid to take on his captain, but it was his running battle of wits with Spock which became legendary. Spock showed his true feelings, though, as when inviting McCoy down to Vulcan for his "wedding" and in storing his katra with him before a known suicidal saving of their ship before the Genesis detonation. McCoy contracted the always-fatal xenopolycythemia and retired from Starfleet in 2369 to spend his remaining days on the asteroid ship, Yonada , and that world's high priestess, Natira — whom he soon married. By exploring Yonada's computers, Spock found a cure for xenopolycythemia and McCoy left Natira to return to the service. Earlier, McCoy had been infected with the strange 'aging' virus that infected the Gamma Hydra IV landing party. After the U.S.S. Enterprise's triumphant return from its five-year mission, McCoy retired from Starfleet, grew a beard and went into virtual seclusion with a rural practice, only to be forced back to duty by Kirk and Admiral Nogura when V'Ger threatened Earth in 2271. After that he continued through the years of renewed Enterprise service with Kirk until at least the Khitomer peace talks of 2293, having survived imprisonment with him on trumped-up charges at the Rura Penthe mining prison when he could not revive assassinated Klingon Chancellor Gorkon . Spock's deposit of his katra in 2285 had nearly driven McCoy crazy and landed him in Starfleet detention until the refusion took place, whereupon he delighted in the Vulcan's re-education process. As a retired admiral he remained active in his later years, serving at the age of 137 and shuttling aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-D in 2364 in his role of inspecting medical facilities on new starships. McCoy was an active practitioner well before his Starfleet days, of course. In 2253, some 12 years before he signed aboard with Kirk, he had developed a neural grafting procedure employing the creation of axonal pathways between the graft and a subject ba


Who played the lead part of Dr Malcolm Crowe in the movie Sixth Sense?

See the Cast of 'The Sixth Sense' Then and Now See the Cast of 'The Sixth Sense' Then and Now May 31, 2013 @ 7:23 AM Buena Vista In 1999, M. Night Shyamalan entered the scene with his directorial debut, 'The Sixth Sense.' Starring Bruce Willis  in one of the most acclaimed roles of his storied career, the film is a chilling tale of a boy who sees dead people with an infamous third act twist. With Shyamalan's ' After Earth ' hitting theaters this week, let's take a trip back to where it all began and check out the cast of 'The Sixth Sense' then and now. Bruce Willis, Malcolm Crowe Buena Vista/Getty Images Then: After shutting down production of 'The Broadway Brawler' by firing the director himself, Bruce Willis owed Disney two films -- 'The Sixth Sense' was one of them, and writer/director M. Night Shyamalan wrote the character of Dr. Malcolm Crowe with Willis in mind. Willis was paid $10 million for the part, which was half of his usual pay. Now: It's a good thing Willis owed Disney some work because 'The Sixth Sense' is one of his most iconic roles, right alongside the 'Die Hard' franchise. Speaking of which, Willis recently reprised his role in a fifth 'Die Hard' film, ' A Good Day to Die Hard .' At the age of 58, he still kicks butt as an action star. You can see him next in 'Red 2.' Haley Joel Osment, Cole Sear Buena Vista/Getty Images Then: The role of Cole Sear was originally turned down by 'Henry Fool' and 'Stepmom' star Liam Aiken -- too bad for him because it's the role that made young Haley Joel Osment a big deal. Shyamalan cast young Osment because he was impressed that he was the only kid who wore a tie to his audition, and had stayed up the night before to read the entire script three times. Now: Osment went on to star in 'Pay It Forward' and 'A.I.: Artificial Intelligence.' He hasn't been acting in front of the camera much in recent years, but he had a guest spot on a recent episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' and has two films in the works. Toni Collette, Lynn Sear Buena Vista/Getty Images Then: Australian actress Toni Collette auditioned for the role of Lynn as an afterthought, and didn't even realize it was a horror film until filming was completed. Now: Collette has starred in a bunch of stuff -- most notably as the mom in 'Little Miss Sunshine' and as the lead character in the tragically short-lived Showtime series 'United States of Tara.' You can see her next in the indie flick 'The Way, Way Back.' Olivia Williams, Anna Crowe Buena Vista/Getty Images Then: British actress Olivia Williams had gained prior fame for her work in 'The Postman' and 'Rushmore' before signing on to play Anna, the wife of Bruce Willis' Malcolm in 'The Sixth Sense.' Now: Williams starred in two big films last year: 'Anna Karenina' and 'Hyde Park on Hudson,' the latter of which reunited her with 'Rushmore' co-star Bill Murray. Donnie Wahlberg, Vincent Grey Buena Vista/Getty Images Then: Former New Kids on the Block member Donnie Wahlberg (brother of Mark, of course) lost 43 pounds for the small but crucial role of Vincent Grey in the film. Now: Wahlberg recently reunited with the New Kids on the Block and '90s boy group the Backstreet Boys for a new tour. He also appeared in four of the six 'Saw' films. Mischa Barton, Kyra Collins Buena Vista/Getty Images Then: 'The Sixth Sense' gave Mischa Barton her first big break as Kyra Collins, a young dead girl whom only Cole can see. You probably remember her part best for all the green vomit. Now: Barton's most memorable role came in 2003, when she played the role of Marissa Cooper on 'The O.C.' for three seasons. These days she's starring in a lot of small indie B-movies, and recently had a role on a made-for-TV movie called 'Cyberstalker.' Bruce Norris, Stanley Cunningham Buena Vista/Getty Images Then: Bruce Norris is an actor and playwright better known for his stage work. In 'The Sixth Sense,' he played Stanley Cunningham, Cole's antagonistic teacher. Now: Norris won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2010 for his play, 'Clybourne Park.' He still dips his toes into film and


What is the first name of Dr House, played by Hugh Lawrie?

Hugh Laurie | House Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Episode All Episodes "All heroic deeds require a cost otherwise they’re not really heroic. There has to be a dragon, there has to be risk, there has to be pain…and he endures that pain, and fights that dragon. And he pays that price in lots of different ways. And he pays it for the sake of seeking out this bigger truth." ―Hugh Laurie about House James Hugh Calum Laurie OBE (born June 11, 1959) is a Golden Globe-winning English actor, comedian, musician and writer. Laurie is best known in the United Kingdom, Australia and parts of Europe for his roles in Blackadder and for his long-running comedy collaboration with Stephen Fry which has included A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster . In the United States, he is best known for playing Dr. Gregory House on House, M.D. . In 2006 and 2007, Laurie won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Drama and won the 2007 SAG Award in the same category, all for his work in House, MD. In 2005 and 2007-2011, he was nominated for an Emmy Award for the role. Contents Edit Laurie was born in Oxford in 1959. His father, William George Ranald Mundell "Ran" Laurie , was a doctor and also won an Olympic gold medal in the coxless pairs at the 1948 London Games. Laurie was brought up in Oxford and attended the Dragon School, a prestigious preparatory school. He later went on to Eton and then to Selwyn College, Cambridge, where he achieved a Third-Class Honors degree (roughly the equivalent of a "C" average for a four-year program in the United States) in archaeology and anthropology. Laurie later admitted that the only reason he chose Cambridge was that it gave him a chance to keep rowing (he was a world class junior rower at Eton) and he read archeology because it gave him plenty of time to row. Like his father, Laurie was a rower at school and university; in 1977, he was half of the junior coxed pair that won the English national title before representing England's Youth Team at the 1977 World Championships. Later, he also achieved a Blue taking part in the 1980 Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. Cambridge lost that year by five feet (1.5 m). Laurie is a member of the Leander Club, one of the oldest rowing clubs in the world. Forced to abandon rowing during a bout of glandular fever (mononucleosis), he joined the Cambridge Footlights, which has been the starting point for many successful British comedians. There he met Emma Thompson , with whom he had a romantic relationship and is still good friends. She introduced him to his future comedy partner, Stephen Fry . Laurie, Fry and Thompson later parodied themselves as the University Challenge representatives of "Footlights College, Oxbridge" in "Bambi", an episode of The Young Ones, with the series' co-writer Ben Elton completing their team. In 1980–81, his final year at university, Laurie managed to find time alongside his rowing to be president of the Footlights, with Thompson as vice-president. They took their annual revue, The Cellar Tapes, written principally by Laurie and Fry, the cast also including Thompson, Tony Slattery, Paul Shearer and Penny Dwyer, to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and won the first Perrier Comedy Award for comedy. Career Hugh Laurie - Inside the Actor's Studio (Part 1) Hugh Laurie on Inside The Actor's Studio It was recently announced that Hugh Laurie's comedy partner, Stephen Fry, would make a cameo appearance in House, but due to commitments in England, Fry is unable to do so for now. [3] On October 28, 2006, Laurie hosted NBC's Saturday Night Live where he famously, mostly to internet fans, dressed in drag in a sketch about a black man (Kenan Thompson) with a broken leg who accuses his doctor of being dishonest. Laurie played the black man's wife. On January 28, 2007 Hugh Laurie received the Screen Actor's Guild Award for Best Actor in a Television Drama. In August 2007, Laurie appeared on BBC Four's documentary Stephen Fry: 50 Not Out, filmed in celebration of Fry’s 50th birthday. In 2008, Laurie appeared as Captain James Biggs in Street Kings, oppo

Rafiki smiles at him and starts to perform a ceremony over the future king. First, he lifts his stick above Simba's head, and Simba tries to catch it with his little paws. Then Rafiki breaks a piece of fruit in two parts and smears its juice on Simba's forehead. He then sprinkle a small amount of dust on his head and takes the little prince in his arms, carrying him to the edge of Pride Rock, where he raises him so all the animals can see him. When the ceremony ends, Rafiki returns home to his tree . There, as it rains, Rafiki drafts a stylized picture of Simba on his tree, chuckling to himself and murmuring the cub's name, "Simba." Rafiki realizes Simba is alive A few months later, Scar brings news that Mufasa and Simba were killed in a stampede of wildebeests . Rafiki also hears the news and comes close enough to Pride Rock to see Scar take the throne and let the hyenas, mortal enemies of the lions, come to Pride Rock. Rafiki sighs sadly, mourning Mufasa, Simba, and the old kingdom. He soon returns to his tree and runs his hand over his drawing of Simba, blotting him out of the Circle of Life . Years into Scar's reign, Rafiki sits on the crown of his tree and grabs a pile of leaves, dirt, grass, and flower petals that's floating on the breeze. He takes the mixture into an empty turtle shell and investigates it until he realizes that it contains traces of Simba, who is supposed to have been dead for several years. At first, Rafiki is confused by this new knowledge, but he soon runs to his smeared drawing and, realizing that Simba is now a young adult lion, draws him with a thick red mane. Getting ready to help Simba to take his place in the Circle of Life, Rafiki exclaims, "It is time!" "It means you are a baboon, and I'm not!" After a few days of travel, Rafiki finds a young adult Simba in the jungle . Simba does not remember Rafiki, as he had been too young when he last saw the baboon. That evening, Simba, in a bad mood, makes a face at Rafiki as the baboon tries to attract his attention by singing a song. Simba moves away from him, but Rafiki constantly monitors him, and Simba asks him if he can cut out his song. Rafiki replies, "Can't cut it out. It'll grow right back!" An offended Simba again moves away from Rafiki, calling him a "creepy little monkey," but Rafiki again follows him. Simba asks Rafiki to stop following him and then demands to know who he is. Rafiki asks Simba who he is, and Simba admits that he himself is no longer so sure. Rafiki says that he knows who Simba is but that it's a secret. When Simba comes near him, Rafiki chants his song in the young lion's ear. Simba snarls and asks him what it even means. Rafiki explains that the song is about Simba being a baboon while Rafiki is not. Simba says that Rafiki is a little confused, but Rafiki again appears before him and tells Simba that he is more confused, as he does not even know who he is. Simba counters sarcastically, "Oh, and I suppose you know," and Rafiki says, "Sure do. You're Mufasa's boy." Rafiki shows Simba the way to see his father Simba is surprised by this revelation, but Rafiki calmly says, "Bye," and leaves. He climbs on a rock and meditates on it. Shortly after this, Simba comes and asks Rafiki if he once knew his father. Rafiki corrects him, saying that he still knows Mufasa. Thinking that Rafiki doesn't know about Mufasa's death, Simba tells him that the king is dead. Rafiki tells Simba that he is wrong again and says that Mufasa is still alive. He shows Simba the entrance to a patch of jungle and tells him that he will show Mufasa to him. Simba follows Rafiki through the dense vegetation until Rafiki stops him. The old


The Aristocats | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Plot Title Card for The Aristocats In Paris, France , in 1910, a mother cat named Duchess and her three kittens -- Marie , Berlioz and Toulouse -- live in the mansion of retired opera singer Madame Adelaide Bonfamille , along with her English butler, Edgar Balthazar . She early on settles her will with her lawyer, Georges Hautcourt - an aged, eccentric old friend of hers - stating that she wishes the "faithful" Edgar to look after her beloved cats until they die. Only then will he inherit the fortune himself. Edgar hears this from his own room and believes he will be dead before he inherits Madame Adelaide's fortune, and so plots to remove the cats from a position of inheritance (clearly not thinking about how he would be essentially in control of the fortune, despite having to take good care of them). Edgar sedates the cats by putting an entire bottle of sleeping pills into their food and then heads out into the country side to dispose of them. However, two hound dogs named Napoleon and Lafayette attack him. After the conflict, Edgar escapes, leaving behind his umbrella, hat, the cats' bed-basket and the sidecar of his motorcycle in the process. The cats are left alone and afraid in the countryside, while Madame Adelaide, Roquefort the Mouse and Frou Frou the horse discover their absence. In the morning, Duchess meets an alley cat named Thomas O'Malley , who offers to guide her and the kittens to Paris. They have a struggle returning to the city, briefly hitchhiking on the back of a milk cart before being unfortunately chased off by the driver. Marie subsequently falls into a river and is saved by O'Malley. They then meet a pair of British white geese, Amelia and Abigail Gabble, who are travelling to Paris. The group head off, marching like geese, until they reach Paris and come across the girls' drunken Uncle Waldo. Abigail and Amelia then depart to take Waldo home. Travelling across the rooftops of the city, the cats meet Scat Cat and his band, close friends to O'Malley, who perform the song Everybody Wants to Be a Cat . After the band have departed and the kittens lie in bed, O'Malley and Duchess spend the evening on a nearby rooftop and talk, while the kittens listen at a windowsill. The subject of their conversation is the question of whether Duchess can stay and be with Thomas. Reluctantly, Duchess sadly turns him down, largely out of loyalty to Madame Adelaide, pointing out that Madame really does love her and her kittens - some cuts to Madame Adelaide show that she truly is very unhappy without her cats, and feeling very much alone. The listening kittens are disappointed, although they too wish to go home. Edgar, meanwhile, retrieves his sidecar, umbrella, and hat from Napoleon and Layafette with some difficulty. The cats make it back to the mansion, whereupon O'Malley departs sadly after he and Duchess have heartfelt farewell moment. Edgar sees Duchess and Kittens coming and suddenly captures them, places them in a sack and briefly hides them in an oven. The cats tell Roquefort to pursue O'Malley and get help. He does so, whereupon O'Malley races back to the mansion, ordering Roquefort to find Scat Cat and his gang. Edgar places the cats in a trunk which he plans to send to Timbuktu, Africa so they can never come back. O'Malley, Scat Cat and his gang, and Frou-Frou all fight Edgar, while Roquefort frees Duchess and kittens. In the end, Edgar is tipped into the trunk, locked inside, and sent to Timbuktu himself. Madame Adelaide's will is rewritten to exclude Edgar and include O'Malley. She starts a charity foundation providing a home for all of Paris' stray cats. The grand opening thereof, to which most of the major characters come, features Scat Cat's band, who perform a reprise of Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat. Production Story development On December 9, 1961, Walt Disney suggested that Harry Tytle and Tom McGowan find some animal stories to adapt as a two-part live-action episode for the  Wonderful World of Color  television program.

What is the name of the main ant from A Bug's Life?

A Bug's Life | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia “An epic presentation of miniature proportions.” ―Tagline A Bug's Life is a 1998 computer-animated Disney / Pixar movie. The film is loosely inspired by the fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper" and the classic samurai film The Seven Samurai, it is the second Pixar movie and tells the story of an outcast inventor ant named Flik ( Dave Foley ), who recruits a group of circus bugs he mistakes for warriors when his colony is threatened by a group of grasshoppers. It is the second animated The film was directed by John Lasseter and co-directed Andrew Stanton . The movie takes place during 1995 , the same year Toy Story was released. The film was widely acclaimed from both critics and audiences and, was a box office success, grossing $363 million worldwide against its $120 million budget. Contents [ show ] Plot Every year, a colony of ants is expected to harvest food for a biker-gang-like bunch of grasshoppers. One ant, Flik , is an inventor whose creations usually do more harm than good. While trying out a mechanical harvester, he drops his machine and on auto-pilot, it knocks the pile of food into a stream just before the grasshoppers arrive. Their leader, Hopper , gives the ants the rest of the season to make good on what they owe, but orders a double ration of food after Flik stands up to him in defense of the Queen's youngest daughter Dot , who then couldn't fly, due to haven't sprouted her wings yet. Flik is admonished by the colony's royal council. When Flik suggests that he try to recruit some "warrior bugs" to fight the grasshoppers, Princess Atta (Dot's older sister and the eventual successor to the Queen) allows him to do so, but only to keep him out of the way. Reaching the insect "city" (actually a pile of garbage), Flik encounters a troupe of unemployed circus bugs whose latest performance has just ended in disaster. He mistakes them for the warriors he needs. At the same time, they believe him to be a talent scout who wants to book their act. They return to the colony, much to Atta's surprise, and are immediately greeted as heroes who can end the grasshopper threat. Atta soon becomes suspicious after overhearing a conversation where both Flik and the troupe realize their mistakes. However, after they band together to save Dot from a hungry bird, she begins to think that the troupe may be able to stop the grasshoppers after all. She also starts to find herself falling in love with Flik and the feeling is mutual. At the grasshopper gang's hideout, Hopper's brother Molt suggests they do not go back since they have more than enough food stored and the weather will soon turn bad. Hopper reminds him and the gang that if they do not keep the ants living in fear, the ants might use their superior numbers ("a hundred to one," he estimates) to run the grasshoppers out of the colony for good. The gang sets out for the island to collect their due. When Flik discovers that Hopper is afraid of birds (due to him almost getting eaten by one years ago), he proposes that the colony build a model bird to scare him away (the plan is presented by the circus bugs, so the royal council believes the "warriors" came up with the idea). The ants put their food-gathering work on hold to carry out this project. After they finish and put the bird in the island's tree, circus ringmaster P. T. Flea arrives looking for his missing performers and exposes the truth. The colony became furious that building the bird turned out to be a waste of time. Upset at Flik's deception, Atta orders him exiled from the colony, while the other ants hide the bird to pretend it never happened and rush to collect whatever food they can for Hopper. They are unable to meet the double quota he set, and when the gang arrives, Hopper takes over the anthill and forces the ants to bring him all the food on the island. Dot overhears the gang's plans to kill the Queen once they have all the food, and after a tangle with Hopper's crazed assistant Thumper , she sprouts her wings and catches up with Flik and the troupe. She


What was the first full length animated feature to be produced by Walt Disney?

List of Disney theatrical animated features | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia List of Disney theatrical animated features 40,858pages on Share The following is a list of animated feature films produced and/or released by The Walt Disney Company or its predecessor, Walt Disney Productions. The lists have been broken down categorically by sub-studio, etc. Walt Disney Studios began work on animated short films in 1923. Then, in 1938, the studio released its first feature-length animated film with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , and has hence continued to produce shorts, featurettes, and feature films to this day. Throughout the years, the studio has expanded its reach. Between collaborating with other studios to co-produce films to The Walt Disney Company distributing animated features produced by other companies, Walt Disney Studios no longer produces all their animated content under the Disney banner. Their most recent film, Moana , released in 2016, marks the studio's 56th feature-length animated film. Contents [ show ] Walt Disney Animation Studios Please do not move these films from one portion of this list to another. In particular, do not add other films to the Walt Disney Animation Studio (WDAS) films portion of the list UNLESS Disney has announced a new WDAS production. What is and what isn't in the official canon has already been fixed; as the official WDAS can be found  here. Any of the following are *not* part of the official WDAS canon: Pixar films, whether made before or after Disney acquired Pixar . (Pixar remains a separate production unit within Disney. There have been no WDAS/Pixar co-productions as of 9/28/2011; if there is one, its inclusion in the list will have to be determined then.) Marvel films, whether made before or after Disney acquired Marvel. The only exception to this is Big Hero 6 , which has already been added to the list, and was produced by WDAS. Muppets or Bear in the Big Blue House films, whether made before or after Disney acquired those properties from The Jim Henson Company. (WDAS has not made any Muppet or Bear films as of 9/28/2011; if WDAS produces a fully-animated Muppet or Bear film in the future, it may be added to the list.) Any other puppet films, even if produced by Disney. Any animated films that have often been mistaken to have been made by Disney, but are not: Anastasia (produced by Fox Animation Studios & distributed by 20th Century Fox), Quest for Camelot or The Iron Giant (both produced by Warner Bros. Feature Animation & distributed by Warner Bros.), etc. Live action Disney films that include animated bits or sequences (even if produced by WDAS), such as Song of the South , Mary Poppins , Bedknobs and Broomsticks , Pete's Dragon ,  Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Enchanted .

Films distributed, but not produced by Disney, such as The Wild . Those are listed below in other sections. The following is a list of the animated films that were either entirely produced in-house by Walt Disney Productions prior to 1986, or were produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios , formerly known as Walt Disney Feature Animation, after 1986. For advertising purposes, The Walt Disney Company began to affix numbers to each of the films in the late 1980s. Through this method, they could proclaim the film to be "Disney's X full-length animated film". When the numbering system was introduced, the group of films included became collectively known as the "Disney Animation Canon." Many film historians and animation fans refer to them as Disney "classics" or Disney "features".

Lotus made an open top sports car called the Seven, but who makes it now?

Caterham Seven @ Top Speed Caterham launches Caterham Signature, the company’s first personalization program Posted on by Ciprian Florea +   Arguably one of the most iconic sports car ever built, the Seven has been around for nearly six decades. Launched in 1957 by Lotus, the marque was later purchased by Caterham, which introduced its very own take on the roadster in 1973. Although Caterham refined the design, introduced new materials, and better engines, the Seven soldiered on into the 21st century mostly unchanged, being built on the same recipe that automotive genius Colin Chapman outlined in the 1950s. The current Seven lineup includes no fewer than six road-going models, but Caterham has also launched several special-edition roadsters in recent years. In October 2016, the British firm unveiled yet another special Seven, dubbed Harrods Edition. As the name suggests, it is inspired by Britain’s upmarket department store, but what’s more important here is that the Harrods Edition marks the debut of Caterham Signature, the company’s first personalization program. Available exclusively at Harrods, the Harrods Edition includes a host of special features which "demonstrate the breadth of options new Caterham buyers can add to their vehicles." Extra features include paint colors and designs, dashboard and interior styling, embroidery, and even the color of the chassis. "The Caterham Seven has always been one of the easiest cars on the road to personalize, because every car is hand-built and bespoke for each customer. But now we’ve formalized the personalization options available to our customers into the Caterham Signature program, which will outline the almost infinite combinations of options you can select. You can even have your name stitched into the seat," said David Ridley, Caterham’s chief commercial officer. Continue reading to learn more about the Caterham Seven Harrods Special Edition. All 60 units of the retro-inspired Seven are gone Posted on by Ciprian Florea +   Earlier this month, Caterham unveiled the Sprint, a limited-edition of the Seven paying tribute to the original car built by Colin Chapman in the 1950s. Only a week has passed since the Sprint revealed its retro-inspired look to the world, and all 60 units have been sold, making it one of the quickest-selling sports cars launched in recent years. The achievement is that much more impressive given that Caterham sells around 500 cars per year, which means that the Sprint helped the company sell more than 10 percent of its annual sales figure in just a week. And all this while the Sprint, which is based on the entry-level Seven 160, was priced at £27,995, or as much as a more powerful, better equipped Seven 420. "We have been overwhelmed with the response to the Sprint. We knew of course it was a great product but the reaction we got is unprecedented. It’s been the perfect scene-setter to our 60 Years of Seven celebrations," said David Ridley, Caterham’s chief commercial officer. Despite all 60 units being already accounted for, customers may still have a chance to purchase a Sprint. According to the brand, not all have been sold to customers, with a few examples set to be delivered to British and European dealers. While this may be great news for enthusiasts that didn’t manage to place an order in time, the remaining Sprints are likely to be sold with a massive premium. It has happened in the past with rare, limited-edition models, and the Seven Sprint is likely to have a similar fate. Continue reading for the full story. Build your own Seven from LEGO bricks for less than $100 Posted on by Ciprian Florea +   Caterham is one of the very few automakers that offer its vehicles as kits that you can assemble yourself. You can do this with basically every Seven currently on offer, except the new, limited-edition Sprint and the track-ready 620R. Actually, as of October 2016 you’ll be able to build your own 620R too, but you’ll have to settle for a LEGO set in order to do that. Caterham has just announced that the 620R has become its first-ever vehicle to be i

One of the Seven Wonders of the World was at Alexandria. What type of structure was it?

Sevens Wonders of the Ancient World - Ancient History - HISTORY.com Sevens Wonders of the Ancient World Sevens Wonders of the Ancient World Author Sevens Wonders of the Ancient World URL A+E Networks Introduction The amazing works of art and architecture known as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World serve as a testament to the ingenuity, imagination and sheer hard work of which human beings are capable. They are also, however, reminders of the human capacity for disagreement, destruction and, possibly, embellishment. As soon as ancient writers compiled a list of “seven wonders,” it became fodder for debate over which achievements deserved inclusion. Ultimately, human hands joined with natural forces to destroy all but one of the wonders. Furthermore, it is possible that at least one of the wonders might not have existed at all. Still, all seven continue to inspire and be celebrated as the remarkable products of the creativity and skill of Earth’s early civilizations. Google Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt The Great Pyramids, located at Giza on the west bank of the Nile River north of Cairo, are the only wonder of the ancient world that has survived to the present day. The three pyramids–Khufu (Cheops), Khafra (Chephren) and Menkaura (Mycerimus)–were built between 2700 B.C. and 2500 B.C. as royal tombs. The largest and most impressive is Khufu, which covers 13 acres and is believed to contain more than 2 million stone blocks that weigh from two to 30 tons each. For more than 4,000 years, Khufu reigned as the tallest building in the world. In fact, it took modern man until the 19th century to build a taller structure. Amazingly, the nearly symmetrical pyramids were built without the aid of modern tools or surveying equipment. Scientists believe that the Egyptians used log rollers and sledges to move the stones into place. The sloped walls, which were intended to mimic the rays of Ra, the sun god, were originally built as steps, and then filled in with limestone. The interior of the pyramids included narrow corridors and hidden chambers in an unsuccessful attempt to foil grave robbers. Although modern archeologists have found some great treasures among the ruins, they believe most of what the pyramids once contained was looted within 250 years of their completion. Did You Know? The Colossus of Rhodes was an inspiration for the Statue of Liberty. Hanging Gardens of Babylon According to ancient Greek poets, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built near the Euphrates River in modern-day Iraq by the Babylonian king Nebuchadrezzar II around 600 B.C. The gardens were said to have been planted as high as 75 feet in the air on a huge square brick terrace that was laid out in steps like a theater. The king allegedly built the towering gardens to ease his lover Amytis’ homesickness for the natural beauty of her home in Media (the northwestern part of modern-day Iran). Later writers described how people could walk underneath the beautiful gardens, which rested on tall stone columns. Modern scientists have deduced that for the gardens to survive they would have had to be irrigated using a system consisting of a pump, waterwheel and cisterns to carry water from the Euphrates many feet into the air. Though there are multiple accounts of the gardens in both Greek and Roman literature, none of them are firsthand, and no mention of the gardens has been found in Babylonian cuneiform inscriptions. As a result, most modern scholars believe that the existence of the gardens was part of an inspired and widely believed but still fictional tale. Statue of Zeus at Olympia The famed statue of Zeus was crafted by the Athenian sculptor Phidias and completed and placed in the temple of Zeus at Olympia, site of the ancient Olympics, around the mid-fifth century B.C. The statue depicted the god of thunder seated bare-chested at a wooden throne. Holding up the thrones’ armrests were two carved sphinxes, mythical creatures with the head and chest of a woman, the body of lion and the wings of a bird. The statue of Zeus was richly decorated with gold and ivo

What was the name of the dog in Enid Blighton's Secret Seven books?

Enid Blyton - The Secret Seven In Defence of the Secret Seven Article by Hari Menon (September 11, 2006) Secret Seven! The name evokes disdain or contempt among many readers who are otherwise ardent fans of Enid Blyton. What did this ragtag band of four boys, three girls and one dog do to arouse such revulsion? Okay, maybe I exaggerated. But for most of us the Secret Seven happens to be the least revered series in Blyton's canon. Is this because the books were written for a younger set of readers? Could it be the smaller format? The perpetual scowl on the face of their highhanded leader, perhaps? I expect all these factors do contribute to the—undeserved, if you ask me—negative reputation the Secret Seven has among many Blyton fans. And is it mere coincidence that the letters 'SS' have historical connotations that are not exactly pleasant? The series was written between 1948 and 1963, so such an 'inspiration' is not entirely far-fetched. But I think it unlikely—Blyton doesn't seem the sort who would take a sly dig at her own characters, even as a joke. So, is the series really as juvenile as it's made out to be? Do the Seven have any redeeming qualities? Let's find out. Cast of Characters Peter: The head of the Secret Seven, Peter's word is Absolute Law. He usually decides the passwords, and seldom forgets them, unlike the others. Indeed, the easiest way to irk him is to forget the password or the SS badge (which others do with predictable regularity). Though he often acts like a dictator, he is annoyingly proved right on most occasions. The secret meetings are held in a shed at the bottom of the garden, some distance from his house. Janet: Peter's sister. Co-owner of the shed and Scamper the golden spaniel, but that ends her stake in the Secret Seven. She comes across as a little brighter than the other two girls in the club (in one instance she sensibly makes a drawing of some tyre prints when the other girls only titter), but that's probably because she's constantly under Peter's thumb and doesn't dare to giggle quite so frequently. Her urge to dance in the moonlight comes in useful while trapping horse stealers on one occasion. Jack: Jack is one of the more colourful characters. He's apparently second-in-command (though this is mentioned only once or twice in the books). He's also disappointingly gullible sometimes. In Secret Seven on the Trail, he believes the tall tales his sister Susie and her friends make up. He also forgets the Secret Seven password with exasperating regularity; indeed, Susie seems to remember it better than he does! To his credit, he is as brave and loyal as a right-hand man can be. Pam: One of the two gigglers in the club. Perhaps her sole contribution to the club is when she "interviews" her grandmother in Three Cheers Secret Seven (and misspells the word "absolutely" in the process). She's a great friend of Barbara, for obvious reasons. Either of them is sportingly ready for a good cry when Peter starts shouting—at them or one of the others, it doesn't matter. Barbara: Giggles, squeals and shrieks come naturally to Barbara, as they do to Pam. Indeed, you can't easily tell one from the other. Perhaps that's why Derek Lucas' illustrations show Pam in pigtails, while Barbara leaves her hair free. I used to consider her very pretty in those illustrations when I was ten years old. Ah, the follies of youth. Colin: Though he can be easily confused with George, Colin makes some interesting discoveries. For instance, he was the one who spots the escaping thief in Secret Seven Adventure, and the one who forgets the book about ships in the cubby-hole up a tree in Well Done Secret Seven. Oh, and it was at his granny's house that the robbery occurs in Secret Seven Fireworks. He also owns a complete set of (ahem!) Famous Five books, which provides hours of light reading to a petty thief in Secret Seven Win Through. George: Can pretend to be Colin, and nobody would know the difference, not even Peter—which is probably why Lucas gives him close-cropped fair hair. He's forced to resign from the club in Go Ah

What was the name of the computer in Blake's Seven?

Orac (Computer) | Blakes 7 Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Physically Orac took the form of a transparent box, easily portable, within which the components of the device were visible. Ensor used a reinforced carrying case to transport it, but later owners were not so careful. Orac was not especially robust and was damaged in the explosions inside Servalan 's base on Terminal , and again later when Xenon Base was similarly sabotaged. A key needed to be inserted in order for Orac to operate. Orac had a number of unusual abilities. It was capable of many other feats in conjunction with the systems of a starship; the ones listed are those it appeared to achieve using only its own resources. Remote Computer Access Edit Orac's abilities mainly revolved around its abilities to instantaneously access the tarial cells of other computers and either access information or control them remotely. It could take control of and reprogram Zen and other computers of the System in addition to Federation computer systems. The full extent of this ability seemed to fluctuate drastically - at no time did the crew attempt to use Orac to shut down or interfere with the systems of attacking Federation vessels, which theoretically would have been possible for it. This signals used in this ability passed through the same dimension as that of some telepathy - as Orac did not consciously use this dimension it was at risk of telepathic takeover. Orac's own personality was suppressed by the more powerful signals of Muller's android , which had an identical ability. Communications Edit Orac's signals were the fastest means of communication in the Federation and were used as such by Jenna to warn Space Command of the threat posed by the Andromedan invasion. On other occasions Orac was used to simulate or decode various different signals, although the decoding ability also seemed to come and go with the passage of time. Predictive Ability Edit Orac's name seems to be derived from Oracle, and Orac claimed to be able to predict the future with great accuracy. While its initial prediction (the apparent destruction of the Liberator at a particular point in space) did indeed come to pass, Orac itself manipulated events to bring this about, and at least one other prediction (concerning the reinstitution of the Federation's shipbuilding programme) was proven wrong. If Orac really could predict the future with consistent accuracy, the crew made remarkably little use of this power. Self-Miniaturisation Edit In order to help Avon and Vila defraud the casinos of Freedom City , Orac revealed the rather unexpected ability to shrink itself through 'stabilised atomic implosion'. It could remain at one-eighth of its normal size for a little over two hours. Value Edit Ensor 's asking price for Orac was 100 million credits, but in Servalan 's opinion (and Ensor's own) it was worth ten times as much. Both Belkov and Egrorian seemed well aware of Orac's value and were willing to take it as payment in a deal (equally aware of its utility, Avon planned to supply Egrorian with a replica!). History Edit Orac was built by Ensor on the planet Aristo . Ensor planned to exchange it for 100 million credits and a new power supply for his bionic heart, but he died after Servalan reneged on the deal. Afterwards it came into the possession of Blake and his crew, where it proved invaluable in saving their lives on numerous occasions. Orac briefly fell under the control of a hostile alien telepathic intelligence, and was rigged with an explosive charge by Avon as a safeguard should this recur. It was smuggled off the Liberator immediately prior to its destruction by Vila , who claimed it was a sculpture. Orac was damaged in the destruction of Servalan's base on Terminal but repaired. Not long afterwards it recognised the dangerous nature of Muller's android but was still taken over by it. It was damaged again when Xenon Base was sabotaged. Avon kept Orac with him when the Scorpio was shot down over Gauda Prime . Orac was not with the rest of the crew when they had their final encounter


In what year did the first Red Nose Day take place?

Red Nose Day | Comic Relief Red Nose Day RED NOSE DAY Red Nose Day is back on Friday 24th March 2017 and we'd love you to join us. RED NOSE DAY Red Nose Day is back on Friday 24th March 2017 and we'd love you to join us. Go to rednoseday.com What is Red Nose Day? Since its launch in 1988, Red Nose Day has become something of a British institution. It’s the day, every two years, when people across the land can get together and do something funny for money at home, school and work. There’s a fantastic night of TV on the BBC, with comedy and entertainment to inspire the nation to give generously. Comic Relief spends the money raised by Red Nose Day to help people living tough lives across the UK and Africa.


The Stonk was the Red Nose Day single of 1991. Which comedy duo performed it?

14 year-by-year Red Nose Day highlights Home  >  Latest News  > 14 year-by-year Red Nose Day highlights 14 year-by-year Red Nose Day highlights February 17, 2015 comments (0) | Add your comment This year, Toyota is an official partner to Red Nose Day , the day, every two years, when people across the country get together and do something funny for money at home, school and work. We take a look back at some of the highlights from the 14 Red Nose Days that have gone before this year’s event. 1988 The first Red Nose Day took place in 1988 and raised £15 million. Mel and Kim sang the official Red Nose Day song – Rockin’ around the Christmas tree – sales from which totalled £76,610. 1989 Red Nose Day 2 took place in 1989. It was the first and last year that the event did not occur biennially. The second Red Nose Day was a much larger affair than the first, with 20 million people partaking in 70,000 activities across the UK. On the night, Rowan Atkinson stole the show by appearing in a satirical mash-up of Newsnight and Mastermind entitled ‘Nosenight Mastermember’, which has become infamous for placing ‘The Belgians’ at the centre of a number of historical events. 1991 Nicknamed ‘The Stonker’ because the supporting single by Hale and Pace was entitled ‘The Stonk’, Red Nose Day 1991 raised £20 million and is notable for gifting us the legendary French and Saunders ABBA sketch, called ‘C’est La Vie’. 1993 Unquestionably the ‘year of the nose’, Red Nose Day 1993 saw sales of the nasal adornment sore to 3,307,000. According to Comic Relief, 72% of people in the UK took part in Red Nose Day 1993 in some capacity! Interactivity shaped the entertainment output of Red Nose Day for the first time in 1993. A live studio audience was invited to vote on each consecutive scene of a special edition of perennially po-faced BBC 1 hospital drama Casualty. The results were predictably chaotic and rib-tickling. 1995 One of the highlights of Red Nose Day 5 was Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer sinking 75 pints while singing the Harry Nilsson classic Without You. The pair’s efforts weren’t in vain though, contributing to a fundraising total of £22m. 1997 Girl power reigned supreme in 1997, so it was fitting that one of the highlights of Red Nose Day 6 was a terrific pastiche of Spice Girls hit Who do you think you are? featuring comedy titans Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Kathy Burke. £27m was raised in 1997, at the time the largest amount from Red Nose Day. 1999 Referred to internally as ‘The Record Breaker’, Red Nose Day 1999 didn’t just beat 1997’s total – it absolutely eclipsed it. An astonishing £35m was raised and hundreds of Guinness World Records were both broken and set, including the record for the most naked people on stage at one time, 101. 2001 ‘Say pants to poverty’ was the message behind Red Nose Day 2001. Members of the Great British public were encouraged to don their undergarments and wear them with pride on top of their outerwear. 2001 was also the year in which Ali G conducted his famous interview with Posh and Becks. In all, £61m was raised. 2003 For Red Nose Day 2003, Comic Relief introduced perhaps one of the most iconic red noses of all – the big hairdo. Each one came with its own sachet of styling gel to encourage buyers to style their nose’s hair as outlandishly as possible. Comedy duo French & Saunders stole the show with an outrageous parody of Harry Potter in which Harry was revealed to be a woman. 2005 Red Nose Day 2005 got the whole nation asking “Is this the way to Amarillo?” when comedian Peter Kay teamed-up with crooner Tony Christie for a star-studded music video set to Christie’s classic hit. The song sold over a million copies and held the number one spot in the UK singles charts for an incredible seven weeks! Red Nose Day 2005 raised £65m. See Christie performing it live on Top of the Pops above. 2007 Called ‘The Big One’, the red nose for Red Nose Day 2007 was huge! The nose was made of foam for the first time too and helped to raise £67.7m. 2009 Challenges were the order of the day for Red Nose Day 2009. Gar


Which Beatles song did Bananarama featuring La Na Nee Nee Noo Noo cover for Red Nose Day in 1989?

Beatles Covers List Songs of The Beatles covered by other artists Last revised: 27th September 2000 This list of Beatle covers is divided into several parts. Part I lists those songs that were recorded by The Beatles themselves. Part II lists tribute albums- that is, albums consisting mostly or entirely of Beatle songs. Part III contains songs written by Lennon/McCartney during the Beatle years that were given to other artists; covers of songs from the solo (post-Beatle) era; and songs written or co-written by Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starr for other artists in the post-Beatle era. Part IV lists those songs that well-known artists have performed live, but never released. Part V, which listed parodies and other oddities, has been deleted. A list of this material is available here Part V is a small start on the way of listing covers of solo works. Part VI lists BOGUS COVERS, songs which appear to be Beatles' covers, but which are not. I don't claim that this list is anywhere near complete- I am still tracking down other sources for this information. Even the information here is somewhat incomplete. If you have any additions/corrections to make to the list, please use the Automatic Covers Add Page . Or, E-MAIL (not post) them to Ross Clement at clemenr@westminster.ac.uk . Also, note that the above statement was actually written by Scott Galuska (see below), and it's still very true several years later. This list was originally devised and built by Scott Galuska previously of the University of Delaware. Most thanks are due to him, I've a long way to go before I have equalled the effort he put in. Finally, this resourse is available both on the web, and is distributed (with html commands stripped)manually to new rec.music.beatles readers. If you received this file manually but would like to see the web page, point your reader at: http://www.wmin.ac.uk/~clemenr/covers/covers.html. Also, at this point may I give public thanks to everyone who has contributed to this list, but especially to Ron Reed of Canada, who has single-handedly added hundreds of lines of new covers. Index Here are some quick indexes to help you find the song you want. Bogus Beatles' Covers PART I The following is a list of cover songs that The Beatles themselves recorded and released. Those songs that were re-recorded by John/Paul/George/Ringo for their own solo albums have been omitted here (such as the covers by Paul on Give My Regards To Broadstreet ). For each song, I've arranged each entry chronologically, when such information is known to me. When the date is not known, I've listed the artist and source (when known). Songs that are omitted here may have appeared on compilations/tribute albums (such as Aerosmith's Come Together ). Those songs may be found in part II .
