BAFTAS
We were livid. Biggest load of claptrap we've ever seen! There were hardly any British films in it. You have these little films getting awards that have only grossed a few million pounds. Then they completely ignore the Bond films which grossed billions. You can't say that they don't employ good actors either – just look at Judi Dench and Ralph Fiennes. James Bond should just win every category at the BAFTAs every year they put one out.

Carl Froch to launch acting career
We don't know who he is, but good luck to him. We hope he's a better actor than Eric Cantona – who was complete rubbish in that film about Queen Elizabeth. If he gets some proper training then why not? Boxing is a bit like acting anyway, it's rather theatrical. Apart from the bits where you get your head smashed in.

European Archery Championships 2016
It's great news that they're hosting it in Nottingham. Well done to whoever sorted that, we'll definitely both go along. We remember seeing that big balloon race they had at Wollaton Park and it was a great day out. There were hundreds of balloons going off everywhere. We hope it’s like that again, but with arrows instead.
