You can – in miniature.A Star Car is any type of vehicle – car, motorcycle, van, truck, bus, plane, helicopter, boat, ship, submarine, or spacecraft – used in a film or television programme. Many have become stars in their own right. Die-cast models of these motor stars began to appear in the 1960s. Corgi released the James Bond Aston Martin and the Saint’s Volvo in 1965, followed by the classic television Batmobile in 1966.

These early models were aimed at children, and were packed with gadgets – from ejection seats to missile launchers. Today, both toys and adult collectables are still being produced – often from shows that aired in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s: from the stone-age cars of The Flintstones, to the 23rd Century spaceships of Star Trek.Until now there has been no guide to help novice Star Car collectors build and care for their collections.

Splash! - Stephen Glover - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''I thoroughly enjoyed Splash! It''s a delicious confection of excellent plotting, an inventively bonkers cast of characters, subtle insights into the world of newspapers and a satisfying ending which invokes the great Evelyn Waugh''s masterpiece, Scoop . A fine comedy of manners by a writer who knows the media inside out'' BEL MOONEY Sam Blunt is a drunken, broken-down tabloid reporter, working for a once-mighty newspaper struggling to come to terms with the digital age. With the assistance of Benedict, an earnest though clever wet-behind-the-ears young intern on the paper, Sam grapples to uncover the story of the century which reveals the political corruption and cynicism at the heart of a rotten Establishment.As they try to nail the story amid a series of capers, Sam and Benedict are frustrated by the self-serving proprietor of the Daily Bugle, various self-appointed do-gooders who want to rein in the Press, and Trevor Yapp, the malign and untrustworthy editor of Bugle Online. Splash! is a satire of the Press and politics in a modern London peopled by a Chinese billionaire would-be press proprietor, a worldly bishop, neglected immigrants, a corrupt and plaintive Prime Minister, and journalists who are often most interested in doing one another down.Yet however self-serving newspapers may sometimes be, Sam and Benedict are ultimately on the side of the angels as they battle to write their triumphant story.
