John Dowland; William Byrd; Nick Drake; Radiohead. In the film, he records Christmas Is All Around, a version of the Troggs' songLove Is All Around, which featured in Curtis's Four Weddings and a Funeral. He begs the public to buy it to keep the boy band Blue from number one. "Wouldn't it be great," says Mack, "if number one this Christmas wasn't some smug teenager, but an old heroin addict like me, searching for a comeback at any price?" Blue's real-life bid for seasonal glory will be a version of Stevie Wonder's Signed, Sealed, Delivered.In fact, the finalists of reality show Pop Idol 2 are favourites to top the charts with their version of the John Lennon/Yoko Ono classic, Merry Xmas (War is Over) Cliff Richard is also once more in the running But that was before Noddy threw his hat into the ring.. We were the most generous city in the country when it came to giving grants to different community organisations. Clearly we have to balance that with delivering services to people.". It's not the battle of the boy bands dominating the fight for the Christmas number one this year It's Noddy versus Nighy.

But Noddy faces stiff competition from a man even older than he is - the actor Bill Nighy.Nighy, 53, plays Mack, a washed-up rock star, in Richard Curtis's new movie, Love Actually. It's Noddy versus Nighy. Nearly 50 years after Enid Blyton's Noddy character made his first appearance on television, the Toytown hero is releasing his first single, the BMG record label will announce today. Others included Penny Lane.But the People's Centre has slipped further and further into the red and now has debts of £500,000.Grants from Liverpool City Council have fallen by £100,000 a year over the last five years.Bob Braddock, who is co-ordinator of the centre, said the only way of saving the project was to sell the building and move to smaller premises.He confirmed that The Picket would not be a part of the smaller centre.Mr Braddock said: "I am getting bombarded with e-mails but no-one from the British Phonographic Industry to rock stars like Billy Bragg has been able to say, 'This is how you get the money'."A spokesman for Liverpool City Council said: "A spokesman for Liverpool City Council said: "We cannot be a cash cow. The studio was set up with donations from Ringo Starr, Joe Strummer, Elvis Costello and Phil Collins, among others.In September last year, it was among the recipients of plaques awarded by the BBC radio station 6Music to the city's musical landmarks. It's a sad day for the music business, a sad day for the local community and a sad day for Liverpool."It is 36 years since the city pulled down the original Cavern Club, the home of The Beatles - a decision it has lived to deeply regret. A generation after the closure of the Cavern Club, Liverpool is to close down another seminal music venue set up with help from Sir Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono and Pete Townshend and a springboard for some of the city's best-known bands. Some time after that you could have longer-range radar built into the front of the car, which would warn about or even avoid crashes."The "blind spot" radar is seen as the most urgent need, because small children standing behind people carriers in, say, a driveway, are not always visible to the driver.Some cars already have ultrasonic sensors in the back bumper but these cannot distinguish objects' size or height.Prototypes project what is behind the car on to a screen in the back of the car - although it could be shown on a rear-view mirror, Mr Bell said..

"Putting short-range radar into the back and sides of the car would take about 18 months. Scientists are also looking at "drive-by-wire" aircraft systems. which would disconnect the steering wheel from the car's wheels.Peter Bell, business manager of the automotive unit at Cambridge Consultants, said the extra cost of such systems could be just €300 (£210), making it feasible for car companies to build them in without huge cost. It's a dangerous jump to take."Other technology in development will make cars harder to steer towards obstacles to either side. "If you owned a car with one in, you would have to release the data from a crash or else your insurance company wouldn't pay up. Germaine Greer and Jim Crace refused to attend the Hay-on-Wye literary festival last year.. The car of the future will be safer but at a cost - both in terms of hard cash and the privacy of motorists.
