AFTER a long, damp and very cold wait, Britain's 300 paralympians marched (and rolled, in Union Jack wheelchairs) into the Olympic Stadium to David Bowie's Heroes. Almost every one of the 62,000-strong audience was on their feet. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

THIS unnecessary and unwanted remake of William Wyler's Oscar-festooned 1959 epic, which starred the mighty Charlton Heston, arrives in UK cinemas with an unenviable reputation; it cost a fortune and made a pittance, crashing like a wonky chariot at the U.S. box office. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

IT was one of the greatest British stories ever put to film. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Quo Vadis (12.05pm, Ch4) was one of many Hollywood films - some more serious than others - to bring the mighty Roman Empire to the big screen. Here, we present a Weekend Top Five… 1 Ben Hur (1959) Winner of 11 Oscars - a record unequalled until Titanic in 1998. Charlton Heston is the Jewish prince whose life shadows that of Jesus Christ, and whose chariot skills make for a wild ride. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

FROM THE DAILY MAIL ARCHIVE NOVEMBER 6, 1967 THIRTY-FOUR people were killed last night when a London-bound train jumped the rails, overturning ten coaches. The train was the 7.43 from Hastings to Charing Cross - its last stop Sevenoaks. Among the passengers injured was Bee Gees lead singer Robin Gibb, 19, who had been to Hastings with his girlfriend. NOVEMBER 6, 1996 BILL CLINTON cruised to victory and four more years in the White House early today. Despite the scandals swirling around him, the President saw off the challenge of 73-yearold Republican Bob Dole - boosted by the blue collar and women's vote. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA STONE, 36. The American won two best actress Oscars - for La La Land in 2017 and this year for Poor Things. She has matching tattoos with her mother, inspired by her mum's favourite Beatles' song, Blackbird. They are two little bird feet drawn by Sir Paul McCartney. NIGEL HAVERS, 73. The Middlesex-born actor starred in Chariots Of Fire, A Passage To India and Coronation Street. In his 20s, he worked on Jimmy Young's BBC radio show and interviewed Margaret Thatcher. He said: 'She looked extraordinary: elegant, piercing eyes and rather sexy'; the encounter sparked 'a professional love affair that lasted 25 years'. BORN ON THIS DAY ADOLPHE SAX (1814-1894). The Belgian musical instrument maker invented the saxophone in the 1840s, as well as other instruments. But rival makers issued multiple challenges to his patents, leading Sax to spend his fortune on legal fees. He died in poverty, aged 79. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
