1) The situation was looking desperate for Bond, just before he activated the super-magnet ...

2) Their new uniforms made their bums look big, until they had their jackets rivetted on.

3) Clone 23432 to clone 24352: "trust old 23334 to be different..."

4) Final selection for the Dalek-race, prior to the Beijing Olympics

Sorry. Bored. Back to work. Won't bother you again.

The debut episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks in China featured a special appearance from Ronnie Corbett in the 'mystery guest' round.

(He's the one on the right, for those that missed it.)

PS - note some of the soldiers in the background holding rather camp man-bags.

In an effort to bring attention to their plight of delayed promotion, the PLA's oldest Lance Corporals display their annual service medals.

It was generally agreed that the clink of the medals drowned out the splish of the colosthomy bags!
