Robert James Brown CBE (23 July 1921 – 11 November 2003) was an English actor, best known for his portrayal of M in the James Bond films from 1983 to 1989, succeeding Bernard Lee, who died in 1981.

Brown first started in the James Bond franchise in the film The Spy Who Loved Me as Admiral Hargreaves, appearing alongside Lee. After Lee's death in January 1981, Broccoli and the other producers, decided to leave M out of For Your Eyes Only out of respect for Lee and assigned his lines to M's Chief of Staff Bill Tanner. In 1983, Brown was hired to portray M on the recommendation of Bond actor Roger Moore, his Ivanhoe co-star and the father of Brown's goddaughter Deborah. It was never clearly established if Brown was the same M as Lee's character, or a different M, perhaps a promoted Hargreaves. In 1995, Brown was succeeded as M by Judi Dench in GoldenEye.

Primark is planning to reopen all of its 153 stores in England on 15 June when lockdown restrictions are lifted, its owner AB Foods has said.

During lockdown the clothing chain has built up almost £2bn-worth of stock to sell, double its normal stockholding.

However, bargain-hunters will be left disappointed after the firm said there would be no "special discounting".

"The stock will be sold in the normal course of business, albeit at a later date," it said.

The company said it had £1.5bn of stock on hand plus a commitment to suppliers to buy another £400m-worth. It normally holds stock worth £900m.

The excess stock mainly comprises non-fashion and non-seasonal ranges plus some excess spring-summer goods, it said.

Coronation Street cameras will start rolling again next week, meaning the ITV soap will not fall off air, despite an 11-week interruption to filming.

Bosses have said filming will resume on 9 June, and crew have already returned to the Manchester set to prepare.

Social distancing and other safety measures will be in place.

But no actors with underlying health conditions or aged over 70 will be allowed back yet - ruling out the likes of William Roache and Maureen Lipman.

After filming was halted in March, ITV went down to airing three episodes per week. The new filming pattern will allow the same broadcast schedule to continue, ITV said.

Five years to the day after O'Neill was announced as manager, Celtic appointed Gordon Strachan as his replacement.

He enjoyed success of his own, as did current boss Lennon over two spells as manager. But it was O'Neill who had put Celtic back on the map, leading ultimately to their current dominance - 31 trophies this century, including 14 league titles.

"I loved Glasgow, my favourite time," O'Neill told Sportsound last month. "I loved the football club that I worked for. I would never change those five years for anything in my life."
