And Finally... Welsh town ends 30-year ban on Monty Python film
Monty Python's Life of Brian had its first showing in a seaside town last night - after a local 30-year ban was ended.
Two of its stars, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, were at the screening in Aberystwyth, West Wales, as was outgoing mayor Sue Jones-Davies - who in a bizarre coincidence is the actress who played Judith Iscariot in the 1979 film.
She said of the ban's end: "It seemed a fitting way to end my reign as mayor."
Terry joked: "It's going to be dangerous on the streets tonight."
The movie, which satirised the Bible story, offended some Christians.
