Published by Jenni Sidey

Michael Johnson became a household name in the ’90s for his distinctive upright running style, iconic track spikes and habit for winning gold medals.

EastEnders legend Charlie Brooks tipped for Janine Butcher return

Published by Daniella Wilson

Charlie Brooks is reportedly returning to EastEnders later this year. The Sun reports that Brooks will reprise her Janine Butcher role – which she first played in 1999 – following a four year break. The publication claims that her “explosive” storyline, which will kick off in the autumn, could well play into another eventful Christmas in Walford. A source said: “Janine’s appearance is going to blow the roof off Albert Square.” “The bosses have several huge stories planned for this autumn, which will all start building towards Christmas. Charlie Brooks first played Janine Butcher in 1999. BBC “Although Charlie is only reprising her role as Janine for a couple of episodes this time around, her involvement is bound to cause plenty of drama. “The plans are being kept top secret as they are really keen fans don’t have the storylines spoilt for them. But no doubt they are going to love seeing Janine back to cause chaos.” An EastEnders spokesperson declined to comment when approached by Radio Times. Add Radio Times as a Preferred Source on …

Love 972 celebrates anniversary with new musical, Legend Of The Ten Bruh

Published by Sam Flores

Love 972 is marking its 32nd anniversary with a new Mandarin musical, Legend Of The Ten Bruh. Written by Dennis Chew and directed by George Chan, the musical is inspired by the Chinese folktale of the ten brothers, which follows 10 siblings, each born with a different supernatural ability, who join forces to fight against oppressive forces. According to the synopsis, the brothers are separated from their loved ones after an unexpected crisis and set out on a rescue mission. Along the way, they encounter General Qiang Wei, his strategist Li Li Li, and a series of comic obstacles. The production stars Love 972 DJs including Chew, Chen Biyu, Bukoh Mary and Chua Lee Lian, alongside guest artistes including actor Elvin Ng. It will also feature Mandarin pop classics from the 1980s to the early 2000s, woven into the story. Legend Of The Ten Bruh will be staged at The Theatre at Mediacorp on Sep 25 and 26. Tickets are priced from S$68 to S$158 and available for purchase on Sistic.  Source link

England Lionesses legend Jill Scott on the benefits of preventative health

Published by Sam Flores

The benefits of exercise go beyond the physical, of course. “I’ve realised how much good sport was doing for me, mentally as well as physically,” says Scott. “Since retiring, I realised how much I overthink. When I was playing, I was so busy and exercising, it would stop it from happening. If you’ve got anything on your mind, something as simple as getting out for a run lets you think it through and you come back feeling better.” It’s hard to think of a simpler case for prevention over cure than this.

Hungarian Chess Legend Judit Polgar Declines Nomination for President

Hungarian Chess Legend Judit Polgar Declines Nomination for President

Published by Sam Flores

BUDAPEST, July 20 (Reuters) – Hungarian chess legend Judit ⁠Polgar ⁠said on Monday that ⁠she will not accept the nomination for president, only a ​day after Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he would ask her to take up ‌the largely ceremonial role. Electing a ‌new president and drafting a new constitution are key elements of ⁠Magyar’s plan ⁠to dismantle former premier Viktor Orban’s bastions of power, for which ​Magyar says he received a strong mandate from voters. Magyar ended the 16-year rule of Orban’s nationalist Fidesz party with a landslide election victory in April. On Saturday, Hungary’s former ​President Tamas Sulyok signed a constitutional amendment passed by Magyar’s ruling Tisza ⁠party ⁠that ended Sulyok’s term ⁠as head ​of state. Magyar said on Sunday that he would ask Polgar, widely regarded as ​the greatest ever female ⁠chess player, to take up the role of president until a new constitution is passed. Polgar said in a Facebook post that she was grateful to be asked. “However, I do not feel enough strength within me to take on …

Thunderbirds legend Gerry Anderson interview: “I never grow up”

Thunderbirds legend Gerry Anderson interview: “I never grow up”

Published by Daniella Wilson

I had the good fortune to meet Gerry Anderson three times. Firstly, at the Anderfan Minicon in 1981, which preceded the formation of Fanderson, secondly, at the Pinewood Studios unveiling of Space Precinct in 1994, and thirdly – the subject of this interview – when he was launching New Captain Scarlet. Gerry was always unfailingly polite, personable and generous with his time, but in 2005 I found him candid, too, and more reflective. A small article including a few of these quotes appeared in Radio Times that year, but this, much longer Q&A has never been published by RT before. Captain Scarlet is a much-loved series from your portfolio. In bringing the show up to date, what was it important for you to preserve, and what to change? Can we start by saying I’m not a big head, but some of these questions I have to answer and unfortunately it sounds as if I am… You don’t come across that way… Oh good! The original show I thought was a very good format, so we …

It seems Strictly Come Dancing 2026 will once again have something for fans of Gladiators. Recent years have seen the likes of Fire (Montell Douglas) and Nitro (Harry Aikines-Aryeetey) compete for the Glitterball Trophy, but now another cast member looks set to be joining the show. Now, The Sun has reported that former football referee and now Gladiators star Mark Clattenburg will be joining the Strictly line-up this year. A source told the publication: “Clatts manages to appeal to young and old, families, children and football fans – plus he’s easy on the eye for the mums. “That amazing fan base is a major bonus, the sort of thing the BBC is always keen to utililise. No final decision has been made yet but if Clatts doesn’t make the cut this year, he’ll remain a target.” Mark Clattenberg on the set of Gladiators. BBC/Hungry Bear Media Ltd/Graeme Hunter They added: “The line-up is shaping up nicely but there are a few spots left.” When approached by Radio Times, a BBC spokesperson said: “We don’t comment on …
