| ARTICLES RELATED TO Daily Express | | | | |  Daily Express: Encyclopedia II - The Daily Mirror - Toppled by MurdochThe Mirror was the first newspaper to achieve a mass working-class readership - but it was also complacent about its success. In 1960, it acquired the Daily Herald, the popular daily of the labour movement, when it bought Odhams, in one of a series of takeovers that created the International Publishing Corporation (IPC). The Mirror management did not want the Herald competing with the Mirror for working-class readers and in 1964 relaunched it as a mid-market paper, the Sun. And when it failed to win readers ...

| | | | | Daily Express: Encyclopedia II - Have I Got News For You - Controversy and litigation When Paula Yates appeared on the program in October 1995, she feigned outrage and offence at Hislop's verbal jabs about her being married to Michael Hutchence, whom he accused of "beating up journalists", and the alleged poor quality of her autobiography, and Merton's and the host's script's jokes concerning her breast enlargement surgery. Yates eventually called Hislop the "sperm of the devil" (she presumably meant "spawn of the devil"), an outburst that earned her more derision. (Including Ian Hislop saying, "Even your insults emanate from ...

| | | | | Daily Express: Encyclopedia II - I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue - Format The show roughly follows a standard panel game format: the chairman introduces the show by providing a little background material on the area in which the show is being recorded which is interspersed with jokes based upon it. For example:
"Nottingham is a fine city with a fascinating history. It's well documented in official records that the city's original name was 'Snottingham', or 'Home of Snots', but when the Normans came, they couldn't pronounce the letter 'S', so decreed the town be called 'Nottingham' or the 'Home of Notts'. It's easy to understand why this change w ...

| | | | | Daily Express: Encyclopedia II - Nineteen Eighty-Four TV programme - Production Until the early 1960s, the vast majority of the BBC's television output was then performed live. Nonetheless, there was a certain degree of pre-shooting in the form of inserts on film, which could be played into the studio and broadcast as part of the play to cover changes of scene, or show location material which would have been impossible to mount live in the studio. Initial pre-filming for Nineteen Eighty-Four took place on November 10, 1954 in Studio B of the BBC's original television complex, Alexandra Palace (even by then all bu ...

| | | | | Daily Express: Encyclopedia II - Thunderball - The novel The novel features the first and technically the last appearance of the criminal organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E. in its full form in Ian Fleming's novels. After Thunderball, S.P.E.C.T.R.E. attempts to re-form; however, it is prevented from doing so by 007. The book also features the first appearance of Bond's greatest enemy, S.P.E.C.T.R.E. leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld, although 007 does not actually meet the man in this book. This differs from the films, which introduced S.P.E.C.T.R.E. in Dr. No and ...

Andrew Lansley, Conservative MP for South Cambridgeshire, said: "Is there nothing Robert Kilroy-Silk won't do for publicity? I don't know why he is doing this but it i ...

| | | | | Daily Express: Encyclopedia II - Northern Ireland - Demographics and politics A majority of the present-day population (59%, according to a 2004 survey) wish to remain part of the United Kingdom, but a significant minority (22%) want to see a united Ireland. Almost the entire population of Northern Ireland is at least nominally Christian. Religious observance is the highest in Europe. The ethno-political loyalties are allied, though not absolutely, to the Roman Catholic and Protestant denominations and these are the labels used to categorise the opposing views. A majority of Protestants wish for Northern Ireland to re ...

| | | | | Daily Express: Encyclopedia II - Vivien Leigh - Meeting Laurence Olivier Laurence Olivier saw Leigh in The Mask of Virtue, and a friendship developed after he congratulated her on her performance. While playing lovers in the film Fire Over England (1937), Olivier and Leigh developed a strong attraction, and after filming was completed, they began an affair. During this time Leigh read the Margaret Mitchell novel Gone with the Wind and instructed her agent to suggest her to David O. Selznick, who was planning a film version. Selznick replied that he was not interested, having never so much as ...

| | | | | Daily Express: Encyclopedia II - Vivien Leigh - Achieving international success Olivier had been attempting to broaden his film career; despite his success in Britain, he was not well-known in the United States and earlier attempts to introduce him to the American market had failed. Offered the role of Heathcliff in Samuel Goldwyn's production of Wuthering Heights (1939), he travelled to Hollywood, leaving Leigh in London. Goldwyn and the film's director, William Wyler, offered Leigh the secondary role of Isabella, but she refused it, saying she would only play Cathy, a role already assigned to Merle Oberon. Leig ...

| | | | | Daily Express: Encyclopedia II - Vivien Leigh - Continuing illness In 1951 the couple performed two plays about Cleopatra, William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra and George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra, alternating the play each night and winning good reviews. They took the productions to New York, where they performed a season at the Ziegfeld Theatre into 1952. The reviews there were also mostly positive, but the critic Kenneth Tynan angered them when he suggested that Leigh's was a mediocre talent which forced Olivier to compromise his own. Tennant's diatribe almost precipitated a ...

Merivale joined her for a tour of Australia, New Zealand and Latin America that lasted from July 1961 until May 1962, and Leigh enjoyed positive reviews without Olivier sharing the spotlight with her. Though she was still beset by bouts of depression, she continued to work in the theatre and in 1963 won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her role in the Broadway ...
