Lightsaber duels in toy stores and the return of The Big Breakfast

"One officer's attempt to use a taser on Canterbury failed when he deflected the hit with a lightsaber"

One of the best lines of news I've EVER read. And it comes from a great story - a slightly strange man who started attacking staff with two lightsabers in a Toys R Us store. The fact he deflected a taser, jedi-style, almost justifies his lunacy.

Steady Martine...

We asked which movie scene you'd like to star in and re-create... Best suggestions included becoming Bambi (and coaxing the mother away from the poachers), Jim in American Pie (preferably without the pie scene) and Producer Jonno's desire to be Hugh Grant in Love Actually, so he could finally kiss Martine McCutcheon. Disgusting. Other suggestions included being Odd Job in Bond, and decapitating 007 and the vomiting scene in the Exorcist. Even more disgusting.

I would like to be Neo in the bullet-dodging scene from the Matrix. I always try it when slightly inebriated in clubs and end up with a wet back and further dents to my ego...

Also today we got incredibly over-excited at the rumour of The Big Breakfast returning to our screens in time for the Olympics. I literally grew up watching the show during its 10-year run, with so many fond childhood memories: Vital Statistics, Woman in a Tabard and More Tea Vicar among my favourite. As a presenter, I can only DREAM of coming up with such genius features. With speculation rife as to who will return as presenters, we took a straw poll as to who you'd like to see return. Overwhemling winners were Johnny Vaughan and Denise Van Outen, unsurprisingly as they made the show what it was. Apparently they haven't spoken for 3 years so a comeback seems unlikely. Which is a shame, because Denise was one of my two childhood crushes. The other - Gaby Roslin.

 

PHWOARRRR

And I leave you with a classic Big Breakfast moment, of which there are thousands...
