The only time Tony Brise didn't drive for Graham Hill's team was on his debut when he drove for Frank Williams' team. This was at the ill-fated 1975 Spanish Grand Prix. He was classified a twice-lapped 7th when the race was stopped after 29 laps due to Rolf Stommelen crashing into the spectator area

Irish Featherweight boxer Barry McGuigan tried his luck in the ESSO MG Metro Turbo Challenge in the 1987 Season.

Images, I'm sorry to say, are hard to come by.

When was Del-Boy at his worst (outside of "A Royal Flush")?

Excluding the well-documented example of the 1986 Christmas Special, when was Del-Boy at an all-time low when it came to how he treated his loved ones, friends and other people in general?

I think it was really low of him to be willing to let his own brother feel the wrath of Biffo the Bear (even if Rodders did deserve it for stealing Biffo's trumpet) on live television (even encouraging the crowd to follow the events in question) at the end of "The Miracle of Peckham".

This being the same Del who took on Tommy Mackay 3 series earlier to protect Rodney from such a potential hiding.

A close 2nd would be selling the old Ford Cortina with no brakes to "Skippy" in "Go West, Young Man".

What non-villain movie death is the most traumatising?

For me, nothing will ever be more traumatising than seeing poor innocent young Julie about to die by burial in cement at the beginning of "Walled In".

Is it me or has it never been established what happened to the girls' biological parents?

Agnes doesn't even remember having a mum in DM2.

If the answer's yes, then that's something that should have been addressed in the later sequels?

Ricky Collard says "peace out" to the BTCC after Thruxton

So, an earlier debut than expected for Kawashima?

Or someone else?

Hopefully, Ricky will be able to sort out the necessary finances for 2027.

Movies that get off to a promising start, but ultimately disappoint.

"Walled In" has a truly shocking opening scene (a little girl about to be murdered by burial in cement), which is what makes it so memorable, but that also serves as its signature scene or, at least, the part the movie is best remembered for. The rest of the movie just goes downhill from there, with little to commend it other than Micha Barton having a nightmare about being buried alive in cement herself.

Anyone feel this way about any other movies.

Simpsons episodes you'd like to see an alternative take on in a Treehouse of Horror segment.

Like "Ei8ht" from "TOH 34" is an alternative take on "Cape Feare".

The Firefly after the Sentinel attack

We never saw it again after it returned to its pod.

I suspect if the missiles didn't cause any damage to Firefly, as well as TB2, the resulting crash-landing certainly would have.
