Hedy Lamarr was known primarily for her career as a major film star many years ago. However, she was also a scientist, inventor and mathematician who co-invented an early technique for spread spectrum communications, a key to many forms of wireless communication from the pre-computer age to the present day.

Are there any examples of the stuff he has made online, other than a 'teapot' he is said to have made on stage once?

There's an interesting story about Christopher Lee on the Lord of the Rings special edition DVD. When filming Sauruman's death scene, Peter Jackson wasn't happy with the noise that Lee was making as he was being stabbed in the back by Wormtongue. Lee simply said to Jackson that he has first hand knowledge of the sound of someone being stabbed in the back from his time in SOE and Jackson decided to leave it at that.

As a boy, Mick also appeared on a programme about rock climing.

"What happens in rugby union? A player takes the ball, moves forward a little and gets tackled. A whole load of players then roll about on the ground. Pheep! The referee gives a penalty." - Simon Barnes
