Singapore's 1940s teenage weightlifting beauty queen

To be both a beauty queen and a champion weightlifter is not unheard of nowadays, but in 1940s Singapore it was a very unusual path for a young girl. Ho Lye Toh was a teenager who could lift weights of up to 100kg (220lb). Now 92, she might be Singapore's most famous nonagenarian after her remarkable life story surfaced in an article earlier this year and enraptured the city. Her father was Ho Peng Khoen, a school teacher and former Malayan weightlifting champion. In 1941, he made a decision that changed her life. "I was 14 and I fell sick quite often, sometimes so bad that I would pass out. So my father decided I should begin exercising to build body strength," Madam Ho said. "He was the reason I got started on weightlifting. He taught me how to press and pull weights and dumbbells and I did that every evening after I came back from school."READ MORE-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-33750637 Madam Ho lifts weights during an earlier training session

Why do wrestlers so often die young?

Mr Perfect, The Ultimate Warrior and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper may sound like names from a comic book, but the cognoscenti will recognise them as former superstars of the world of professional wrestling. All of them also died unexpectedly and at a relatively young age.

Mr Perfect died in 2003 of acute cocaine intoxication at the age of 44. The Ultimate Warrior died last year of a heart attack, aged 54. Most recent to go was "Rowdy" Roddy Piper who died suddenly on 31 July of a heart attack. He was 61.

So do former wrestlers die younger than athletes who take part in other sports?

"Yes the statistical evidence is quite strong when we look at the mortality rate for wrestlers compared to other sports and the general population," says John Moriarty of Manchester University.

Researchers like Moriarty face some difficulties getting hold of data, as no official body collects statistics about the deaths of those who have spent a career in the ring.

His approach has been to aggregate the findings of others who have studied the problem.

He points to research by academics at the University of Eastern Michigan who studied a group of 557 former wrestlers.

Of the 62 wrestlers in this group who died between 1985 and 2011, 49 died before -READ MORE -http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33817959

Gordon the Gopher: Back from rehab

"Whatever happened to Gordon the Gopher" was the question that re-kindled Gordon's career. Ryan McDermott's Grandmother posed the question after finding a puppet of the 80s star in the loft during a clear-out. Inspired by the question, director Ryan and co-scriptwriter Adam Brown set about bringing Gordon back to the limelight. "There's this terrific back-story with Philip Schofield", said Ryan, "Gordon's thinking he should have been the star... He's the one who sold 300 thousand annuals. Adam explained the past few years have been tough for Gordon, with him developing an "ironic" addiction to gin, but that he is now "on the road to recovery" and ready to return to the spotlight. The new Gordon the Gopher pilot, starring Warwick Davies as the voice of Gordon, can be viewed on the BBC Comedy Taster site. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Friday 7 August 2015.
