Sex In The City actress Kim Cattrall has revealed that she almost didn’t get the part in new ITV drama, My Boy Jack as bosses felt she wasn’t right for the role.

Cattrall said: “I wasn’t actually offered the role immediately. I had to meet Brian and I got a response from my agent saying ‘I don’t think that Brian thinks that you’re right (for the role)’.

“Then he went away and he watched a few films and a play that I did and he said, ‘I was wrong, I’ve changed my mind, I think you’d make a terrific Carrie’. And it was so thrilling for me because for the first time I was playing someone that actually existed, so I had a lot of research to do.” Read more & comment »

Aged only 17, Rudyard Kipling’s son John “Jack” (Daniel Radcliffe), like most of his generation, is swept up in the enthusiasm to fight the Germans, a mood stoked vigorously by his father. Jack is cripplingly short-sighted and the Army has rejected him twice, rendering him too myopic even for an Army suffering thousands of casualties a week and desperate for recruits.

Style experts Trinny and Susannah tackle the nation’s breast assets tonight on ITV1 and discover that it’s weight – not size – that could solve the problem of finding a correctly fitting bra.

In an up close and personal consultation with design engineer Dr John Tyrer from Loughborough University, Susannah Constantine is taught how to weigh her 34D breasts – by dunking them in water.

Dr Tyrer is a measurement expert who’s wrestling with the prototype for a perfect bra, and he believes the most important factor is not cup size, its breast weight.

“If you’re an engineer or a designer the first thing you want to know is how heavy - how heavy are each of your breasts.”

The displaced water method was developed by Dr Tyrer in order to design new prototype bras that fit women more accurately than the current measuring and design procedure.

“Knowing the displaced amount of water tells us what the breast weight is. Then using a conversion factor we can then convert the weight of displaced water to the weight of the breast,” said Dr Tyrer.

Susannah learnt that her breasts weigh two pounds each, the equivalent of carrying around four bags of sugar. Read more & comment »
