The Flaming Lips are keeping it in the family as they tour their latest album. In support are the previously unheralded Stardeath and White Dwarfs, though look closely and you will find uncanny similarities between the two bands. Their young singer's high-pitched, childlike quality owes much to Lips frontman Wayne Coyne and, indeed, shares his surname. For Dennis Coyne is none other than Wayne's nephew....

It Takes A Thief Finally Coming To DVD? This isn't news, per se ; it's a rumor... but it's a good one! And apparently from a reliable source. TVShowsOnDVD (a very reliable source itself) reports that the wheels are in motion to bring the last remaining classic Sixties spy show not yet available on DVD to that format at last. That's right, I'm talking about It Takes A Thief , starring Robert Wagner...

FROM U.N.C.L.E. TO NCIS Practically every 60s starlet I have interviewed who appeared on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. had nothing but praise for David McCallum who played sexy blond Russian agent Illya Kuryakin. He was the friendly one compared to co-star Robert Vaughn who was described as being aloof and private. So it is nice to hear that McCallum is still going strong (and looks great) with a supporting...

Moving on, we come to the much more enjoyable adventures of Mike Nelson. Can remember enjoying this back on its original run, partly due to a 13 year-olds spy obsession with the Man From Uncle and Bond shenanigans and partly by the crimingly over-looked art of Pat Wright.
