And Finally... Want to buy the ashes of the Coronation Street cat?
Frisky, who died in 2000 aged 14, was seen by millions of people every week prowling the walls and rooftops of 'Weatherfield' during the titles of soap opera Coronation Street.
Frisky overcame competition from more than 5,000 other cats to land the role in 1990. The titles ran until 2001 and the cat helped raise thousands of pounds for charity as a result of personal appearances at various events.
The animal's remains are to be auctioned off in a wooden casket, complete with cremation certificate and pictures of the cat appearing with other cast members and newsreader Martyn Lewis.
