    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    My favourite Charlton Heston moment. Rough quotes.

    "During your time in England, you must have noticed the differences between the police here and in America. So what do you think of the English bobby, Charlton?"

    "Your long career has overlapped with other famous actors, like Nicholson. Have you ever worked with Jack, Charlton?"

    "I understand that you like art, especially paintings of the weather. What do you think of Cezanne, Charlton?"

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Interview by Dennis Pennis. For non-Brits, Bobby Charlton and Jack Charlton were famous footballers (Manchester United and Leeds United respectively, both world cup winners with England), while Suzanne Charlton (daughter of Bobby) was a weather presenter.

    Very sad news. A film wasn't an Epic unless Mr Heston was in it.

    He once said that he had lived enough for two lives. That's not a bad claim to be able to make.
