Clarkson driving the Peel

Here's a really funny clip taken from last nights (repeated) episode of Top Gear. It features the very tall Jeremy Clarkson driving around in the worlds smallest car. Its absolutely brilliant!

Charlton Heston Dies at 84

Charlton Heston, the square-jawed movie star who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ben-Hur and was famed for a number of other epic films, died Saturday night at the age of 84.

Though an official cause of death was not initially released, the actor had announced in 2002 that he was battling Alzheimer's disease, and had withdrawn from professional appearances after the diagnosis.

An actor at first well-known for his portrayal of historical figures -- in addition to his role as Ben-Hur, he also played Michelangelo, El Cid, Moses, and John the Baptist.

Heston's fame later in life was highlighted by his polarizing views on gun control, as the actor was elected president of the National Rifle Association in 1998 and vigorously defended the rights of gun owners throughout the country. That role, which he left in 2003, almost overshadowed the length of his impressive acting career, which started in theater and television before graduating to the silver screen.

Battlestar Galactica - Season 4

I can't believe I forgot that the 4th season was going to start this week!!! Anyway, the excellent Battlestar Galactica is back for its fourth and final season and started last night in the US.

I'm really looking forward to watching it ("broadband connection, don't let me down!") but at the same time I'm kinda sad its drawing to a close. Hopefully it will have a decent conclusion. I wonder who the last Cylon will be?

And here's a link to some hi-res photos of the gorgeous Grace Park in case you've forgotten what she looks like, shame on you!

Coincidentally, Battlestar Galactica came in at number 13 on Empire's 50 Greatest TV Shows recent readers poll.

50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time

Empire's online magazine has published the results from the '50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time' readers poll.

I'm not sure if would I agree with all the entries but its great to see Curb Your Enthusiasm & Arrested Development getting the recognition they both deserve (although 'Curb' in my opinion should be in the top 5).

Theres no real surprise for the No.1 show, its been in the same place for several years. For those that don't want to know what it is, look away now....

...

To everyone else its 'The Simpsons'.
