Pussycat (robot)

Pussycat was a robot that appeared in the TV show Robot Wars. It was unique as it was a pyramid shaped robot that would run either way up. It made its debut in the Third Wars and competed in all series from then onward, bar the Sixth Wars, until the show's final series, the Seventh Wars.

Pussycat was built by Team Cold Fusion, consisting of the Gribble family; father Alan and son David, and to replace their previous robot, Bodyhammer. With five titles in side events, it has won more side events than any other robot without ever becoming series champion, its best performance being in the series 4 final, in which it lost to Chaos 2, who retained its title. Pussycat's titles, in chronological order; Series 4 Celebrity Special, Extreme 1 Tag Team Terror (with Diotoir), Extreme 1 Annihilator, Series 7 All Stars, Extreme Warriors War of Independence. It was also the only robot besides Razer to take the All Stars title.

It was driven by David Gribble, considered as one of the best roboteers in Robot Wars, from series 3 until his untimely death in between filming for series 5 and 6. Their new driver from series 6 was Stuart Barnwell. Pussycat's driver in the Extreme 2 Iron Maidens was Alan's wife, Ann Gribble.

Pussycat (band)

Pussycat was a Dutch country and pop music group from the Netherlands, driven by the three Kowalczyk sisters: Toni, Betty and Marianne. Other members of the band were Lou Willé (Toni's ex husband), Theo Wetzels, Theo Coumans and John Theunissen.

Career

Prior to forming the band, the three sisters were telephone operators in Limburg, whilst Theunissen, Wetzles and Coumans were in a group called Scum. Lou Wille played in a group called Ricky Rendall and His Centurions until he married Toni, and created the group Sweet Reaction that eventually became known as Pussycat.

In 1975 they scored a big European hit with the song "Mississippi". However they had to wait a further year for the single to make the British charts when it climbed to number one in the UK Singles Chart in October 1976.Penned by Werner Theunissen, who had been the sisters' guitar teacher, it is estimated that "Mississippi" sold over five million copies worldwide. It was later followed by "Smile" in 1976, and "Hey Joe" in 1978. Other hits were "If You Ever Come to Amsterdam", "Georgie", "Wet Day in September" and "My Broken Souvenirs". Their career in Europe spanned more than a decade and included some seventeen albums. By 1978 Hans Lutjens had replaced Coumans on drums, as the band continued to release albums and tour, travelling as far afield as South Africa. They made regular appearances on the West German TV series, Musikladen, in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Daddy (Emeli Sandé song)

"Daddy" is a song by British recording artist and songwriter Emeli Sandé, featuring Naughty Boy. It was released on 27 November 2011 as the second single from her debut album Our Version of Events, which was released on 13 February 2012. In early January 2012, it was made iTunes' song of the week.

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Daddy" was first released onto YouTube on 21 October 2011 at a total length of three minutes and twenty seconds. The video features Sandé singing, whilst burglars, in which one of them is the person Sandé is singing about, raid a supermarket, and one of them takes the money from the cash machine. In the end, Sandé is in the supermarket, whilst a burglar approaches her. He then takes off his mask. In the end, the burglar finds a folded piece of paper in his fridge.

Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a very positive review, stating: "My friends keep telling you what he did last night, how many girls he kissed, how many he liked," she insists over haunting church bell chimes as she gives her bezzie a reality check on love; before a mish-mash of thrashing acoustics pound out with more drama than the EastEnders cliffhanger outro. By the time the catchy-as-cholera chorus kicks in, it's obvious that 2012 is Sande's for the taking. At least Cowell's got one thing right this year, eh? Similarly, John Earls of the Daily Star gave the song 9/10, stating "Our fave new soul girl of the year proves Heaven was no fluke with another awesome mix of emotional vocals and modern grooves that make being a pop star seem so easy." Going on to say "The chorus is as huge as her quiff – if Emeli keeps this up, her album, Our Version of Events looks set to be a classic."

The film stars McCullouch and Via as Colin McCormack and Stewart Wisniewski, two gay men in their late 40s.

Background

McCullouch and Via starred in the original stage production of Daddy, which was staged in New York City and Los Angeles in 2010. The film adaptation was funded in part by a Kickstarter campaign in 2013.

According to Via, the play and film were inspired by the "daddy" phenomenon in the gay dating scene, as well as a desire to explore the effects of the contemporary normalization of same-sex marriage on older gay men who had been raised to believe that marriage and family were not available to them, and who thus built their own alternative models of family and social connection.
