Some sad news: Gorden Kaye, the actor much-loved for his role in BBC comedy 'Allo 'Allo!, has passed away.
We're sorry to pass on the sad news that Gorden Kaye, an actor whose lead role in David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd's BBC sitcom 'Allo 'Allo! made him widely recognised and much-loved, passed away earlier this morning.
Kaye's former agency made the announcement today to the BBC that Kaye had died at a care home at the age of seventy-five.
As Rene Artois, cafe owner and political chess piece used by the invading Germans, the British and the French Resistance in Croft and Lloyd's classic comedy, Kaye gave us a decade's worth of laughs between 1982 and 1992. And, thanks to repeats and his reprisal of the role in the BBC's 2007 reunion, many more years besides.

Remember Kinvig, Clone, Not With A Bang? These are the UK sci-fi sitcoms you’re unlikely to see on comedy best-of lists…
With E4 sci-fi comedy commissions, Tripped and Aliens, and in-development Channel 4 projects, Space Ark and Graham Linehan/Adam Buxton collaboration The Cloud, in the works, a new crop of sci-fi sitcom could be making its way to UK TV.
Making funny sci-fi on a small-screen budget is tough enough without the additional pressure of having to attract viewers more traditionally down-to-earth in their sitcom tastes. Sci-fi sets and effects can be seen as prohibitively expensive by comedy commissioners (which is perhaps why the best UK sci-fi sitcoms of recent years has been on BBC Radio), and the genre’s niche status doesn’t scream mainstream hit. Over the years, one or two stand-outs have managed to straddle the sci-fi and comedy TV worlds, but plenty more have stumbled in the attempt.

Terry Gilliam’s dark sci-fi Brazil remains one of the director’s finest films to date. Andrew takes a look back at a classic future nightmare…
Brazil is one of my favourite films. It's so wrong. It's vibrant in its despondency. It shakes you by the shoulders and yells at you, “You are not alone! But... you are a bit doomed.”
It takes a mere two minutes to concoct a dazzlingly nightmarish retro-future, a steam powered bureaucracy revealed in huge pull-backs, a superb array of set-design and props, noirish-costumes, and well-cast actors. A family scene at Christmas is completely and utterly destroyed in a twisted parody of Santa's arrival, and you can't help but feel the sudden seizure of a man from his home feels that much more relevant now than it did in 1985.
All of this is coupled with the scenes of the bureaucracy that causes this mistake. By this point on initial viewing,...

David Brent in The Office. co. BBC
Don’t get sold out! Buy advance tickets to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

David Brent (Ricky Gervais) The Office UK. The dancing, joking all round entertainer of a boss, who does not know any boundaries and has a sensitivity level that makes Mr Spock look like an agony Aunt. He has to be British TV’s best boss because most of us have worked for him at one time in our careers and yet he still lives!
Captain Mainwaring (Arthur Lowe) Dad’s Army. Mainwaring wore two bosses hats in Dad’s Army: the bank boss hat and the home guard hat. Neither fitted very well but it is hilarious to see him struggling to stay sane when confronted with complete imbeciles.
Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor) Eastenders. They have had some rough and tough bosses at the...

This is the most awesomely bizarre music video I think I've ever seen. The music video is promoting a Norwegian television entertainment program called Golden Times, and it features one hell of a crazy gathering of actors and actresses from shows such as Cheers, Twin Peaks, Seinfeld, The Incredible Hulk and more icons from the 80's and 90's. They sing the classic Beatles song Let it Be.
Here's a list of actors that appear in the video:
Roger Moore
Huey Lewis
Jason Alexander
Ricki Lake
Josie Biesett
Alberto Tomba
John Nettles
George Wendt
Paul Mackenna
Philip Michael Thomas
Glenn Close
Gorden Kaye
Pamela Anderson
Leslie Nielsen
Dolph Lundgren
Kelly McGillis
Sherilyn Fenn
Daryl Hannah
Lou Ferrigno
And several more!
I don't know what else to say... It's just so weird! Check out the video below and tell us what you think.
