The episode of The Simpsons (C4, 28.05.08.) had Homer inspecting some blueprints before starting work rebuilding Bart's tree house. In a scene reminiscent of Busy Bodies, Lisa points out that the blueprint is for a go-kart track. Doh!

The ITV current affairs programme Tonight recently reported on various errant utility companies. Their misdemeanours were accompanied by Laurel and Hardy's Cuckoo theme in the background.

Robert Downey Jnr impersonated Stan's head scratch very briefly while he was a guest on the Jonathan Ross talk show on the BBC.

On Who Wants to be a  Millionaire? (ITV, 27.05.08.) A lady named Cathy Baker from East Renfrewshire was asked, "Which Hollywood  comedian was nicknamed "Babe"? (a) Harold Lloyd (b) Buster Keaton (c) Stan Laurel (d) Oliver Hardy?

She had £20,000, going for £50,000, and wrongly answered, "Buster Keaton," losing £19,000 and going home with just £1,000.
