He fought Ali & Frazier in back to back fights in 1973, then Ali again in ‘75. He lost all 3 bouts on points but was the only man both fought but neither knocked out.

The boxing world is paying tribute after former world champion Ricky Hatton, who dethroned Kostya Tszyu to end his legendary career, was found dead. Police are not treating the death as suspicious.

He was 46.

Saw it mentioned last night. Apparently he was considering a comeback of sorts. Had been going through a fairly rough time mentally since he retired and at the end of the article it had the helpline number

Ace Frehley, the wild Spaceman of Kiss who played guitar in the band throughout their Seventies heyday and again during the reunion period in the Nineties and inspired an entire generation of musicians, has died at age 74.

Have been revisiting Fawlty Towers yet again lately, which now feels fitting given the passing of Prunella Scales aged 93.

They wouldn't be able to make a show like that these days, which is good, because it would probably be horrible!

Pop Quiz … how many episodes of Fawlty Towers were there?

Bonus points … how many episode of the Young Ones?
