Hero of my childhood, Dan Dare, is coming to the silver screen.
It is purported that actor Sam Worthington, will lift our dashing hero from the pages of the Eagle and transform him into the living being that resided in my head all those years ago.
No word yet on who will play Dan’s sidekick Digby or even Dan’s arch-enemy “The Mekon”. Suggestions on the back of a postcard please.
I make no apology for copying the following selection from Planet-F1’s current pages. And yes the title of this post is a direct steal too.
It put a smile on my face hopefully it will put one on yours.

RED BULL GIVES YOU WHINGES
Angry Austrian Dr Helmut (Skid) Marko has said that if anyone it’s Mark Webber who the team seems to be favouring. The Red Bull motorsport advisor is said to be particularly incensed at the Silverstone incident because it detracts from the Red Bull catchphrase – Red Bull Gives You Other Drivers’ Wings.
In an interview with AutoSprint this week he suggested that conspiracy theorists would think that the team actually favoured Webber not his German team-mate. “If I was Vettel then I would have suspected the opposite. Which car has permanently had something damaged?” ranted (full-face) Helmut. “Did Mark have the defective spark plug in Bahrain, the loose wheel in Australia, the broken brake disc in Barcelona, the defective chassis in Monte Carlo, the transmission problems in Montreal and now the broken wing at Silverstone?”
Suggesting that there might have been sabotage within the team at the opening race of the season is a pretty extreme view, however Mark Webber has now had clear-the-air talks with team boss Christian Horner and they have agreed a way forward. He is going to change his name to Willi.
