Actor Stephen Moore has died. He was 81.
In a career that skilfully mixed straight drama with comedy roles Moore was known to many as the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and as the father of Kevin the Teenager in the Harry Enfield sketches (pictured).
He also starred as the father of Melody and Harmony Parker in the children's series The Queen's Nose. Other appearances included roles in The Boat That Rocked, Dr Who and Adrian Mole.

It was announced just before this second series started that there would be a third series of Motherland. It's be interesting to see how it evolves as there are a few changes in the opening episode of the second run.

I was lucky enough to see a very early press screening of the new Chris Morris film The Day Shall Come. At the time I enjoyed it but couldn't help feeling that it didn't strike the same chord in me as Four Lions. That film seemed to have everything, most notably a glorious sense of absurdity about modern terrorism. There was something very English about Four Lions which made it way more relatable than The Day Shall Come, which also looks at the grass roots war on terror but is set in Florida.
The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there. Well, they certainly do RuPaul's Drag Race differently in the UK. Where the American version oozes glamour, the British version is a little more Carry On Panto At The End of the Peir. The winner gets a "Ru-Peter badge". I don't think you get drag acts in America called Baga Chipz or Cheryl Hole using words like "gobshite" and "minge".*
