Junkyard challenge. Junkyard Wars FTW

Bad news for Newcastle fans and TV viewers alike !

Close but no cigar. Entourage The Shield Carnival Rome Weeds The Young ones/Bottom. Special mentions have to go to Tudors, Rescue Me, Boston Legal, the English series where three teams have to build a vehicle from scrap to compete in a race on a specially built track - forget what it is called and Jonathan Ross's Americana. Also make a special trip to see Naked and Funny if you like titties (the program is shite but there are some great baps in it). The Tudors very nearly made it on to my list too, as did Father Ted and Band of Brothers

Agreed, utter dirge.

Mike Ashley remains optimistic about selling Newcastle United by the end of the summer and will resist the temptation to place the troubled Championship club in administration. Although Newcastle's owner is unpredictable and, in the football sphere at least, has a track record of about-faces, a source close to the club said administration was "the last thing" on Ashley's mind. Indeed two "very serious" potential buyers are understood to have virtually completed exhaustive due diligence on Newcastle and would be in a position to seal a takeover in around two weeks were they to decide to proceed. With Keith Harris, the executive chairman of the investment bank Seymour Pierce and the man brokering the sale, having now returned from a short break there are no obstacles to a speedy conclusion of the matter. Ashley's problem, though, is that bidders have had second thoughts after realising the scale of the challenge they would be shouldering at St James' Park. While Newcastle offers immense potential it is currently football's answer to a once stately home gone to rack and ruin which will prove extremely costly, difficult and potentially emotionally draining to restore. Right now Ashley's prospective successors are weighing up the benefits of possibly huge long-term gains against considerable short- and medium-term pain. Immediate pitfalls include the annual player wage bill, currently around £65m and far too high for a Championship club, the £40m overdraft, Kevin Keegan's outstanding constructive dismissal claim which could cost new owners as much as £8m to resolve, a £1m demand from former deputy chairman Douglas Hall and the sum of around £20,000 a week currently payable to ex-director of football Dennis Wise under the terms of his severance agreement. Ashley, who has invested around £250m in Newcastle including a £100m interest-free loan, is asking £100m for the club and continues to hold out for a sum close to that asking price. Were he to place Newcastle in administration – in which case the Football League would immediately impose a 10-point deduction on the team – Ashley would be the principal creditor. Although his losses at St James' Park could potentially reduce the multimillionaire sports goods magnate's overall tax bill, the source stressed he remains committed to recouping some of his investment by finding a buyer. Even so, if one does not materialise by autumn Ashley – who has currently placed an embargo on all transfer activity in the hope a take-over is completed before the end of August – will be forced to increase his investment on Tyneside by appointing a manager. One consortium who will not be moving into St James' Park is the Profitable Group. The Singapore based investment company was never regarded as a serious contender by either Seymour Pierce or Ashley but nonetheless, Steve McMahon, its commercial director, expressed his disgust with Newcastle yesterday. Explaining that the Profitable Group had ended its interest in buying the club due to a lack of "communication and response" from Ashley, McMahon's words proved as hard hitting as some of the tackles the former Liverpool and England midfielder once inflicted on opponents. "We have pulled out, how long can you hang on?," said McMahon. "We put in a bid two weeks ago and we have had no communications, no response, nothing. It really is poor form from Newcastle. I just feel sorry for the supporters up there. They deserve much, much better. They deserve to know what is going on." Newcastle, still under the caretaker charge of Chris Hughton, are next at home to Leeds United in a pre-season friendly expected to attract one of St James' Park's paltriest crowds in recent years.

I'm sure we can guess which film named after a carpenter's cutting implement you are referring to Brock.

+1 I'm not a big fan of Stanley Kubrick on the whole. Most of his films look good (e.g. 2001), but are slow and a bit wank. I like Dr. Strangelove though. Full Metal Jacket, apart from the final act, is fucking superb.
