Bubo Bobblehead!



Sometimes an item of fantasy or sci-fi memorabilia just catches your eye and makes you think 'I want one of those!' This rather adorable character is Bubo, mechanical owl and Perseus' guide from the 1981 version of the movie Clash of the Titans. It even has its own Greek-style column base! Get it from 30 April.

This new Clash of the Titans was filmed partly in Tenerife - where I've just been. Perseus doesn't battle beer swilling Brits but trogs the national part aroun Mount Tiede. I'm still of the opinion that Ray Harryhausen's classic cannot be beaten, but will probably catch this new film just to see the location work!
