"The world of the Clangers is delightful and irresistible," Palin said. The original show first aired in 1969 on BBC One.

Keith Richards chats about his new children's book. Yeah. Really.
My publishers first came up with this idea. They said, "There's certain chapters about your grandfather that could make a great children's book." Children's book? This is not my line (laughs). ... And just about that same time my eldest daughter ... she said, "Guess what?" And I know that look in a woman's eyes. "Don't tell me you're pregnant, which means fifth grandchild." ... I thought, "Hey, there's something to be said for this" and I've always wanted to give my ole grandfather Gus, bless him, a little more memorial than he's had.

The big news from Apple this week? Forget about phones and watches, the beloved iPod Classic is being discontinued.
I still use mine all the time. As a music player it holds a zillion songs (mine is 160GB) and sounds much superior to what you can hear on a phone, especially if you upload tunes in a high-quality or lossless format.
One man's ginormous James Bond collection.
