People who were in Tokyo that day might have wondered if there was an alien invasion going on with all those polar bear shaped figures flying in the sky...
A TV report from Belgique Television back in the 1960's introduces a strange new animal - the Vacheval. A cross between a horse and a cow, it was reared in an attempt to create a CO2 reducing transport system...
We're back to the 1960s and, in the grand finale of Le CO2eux Soirée (the show broadcast from inside a bottle), Alain du Monde shows off his super chic dance moves to the sound of Albert 3000's CO2 reducing tunes...
We also learn that cows are not chic at all.
Cowhorses are definitely very chic, though...
Especially if they are mini cowhorses.
No Marina and The Diamonds or Mystery Jets in this final episode,
but it's still weird and fun all the same.
Good news! The robot is still there...

While re-visiting the sixties, thanks to the CO2eux Soiree episodes one (Broadcast From The 1960s and From Inside A Bottle), two (The Marina and The Diamonds' Music Video Episode) and three (The Mystery Jets Are Dreaming of Another World), we've made the most of our travelling back in time and managed to get our hands on more Doctor Who related pictures - all black and white pics, like the ones we got for our Tom Baker's Years Part One and Part Two posts. And, not only they are pictures of some of the earliest Time Lords, but they are also pictures of the fearsome and merciless Daleks themselves...
"English rock stars don't die..."
"Are you as wild as Russell Brand?"
On this side of the Pond we all know how wild former "Big Brother's Big Mouth" presenter and telephone prank caller extraordinaire, Russell Brand can be and that he is definitely a hard act to follow when it comes to wildness... so, I guess most of us will have to say "nope!".
From what I've read in some of the reviews from the US regarding 'Get Him To The Greek', it looks like our "enfant terrible" has done us proud. Of course, Aldous Snow is the perfect part for Essex born (and practically, give or take quite a few miles, my next door neighbour) Russell Brand as, let's face it, he does look like a Rock Star in real life. It's like he was born to be a Rock Star... or, at least, to play one.
It's a "two for the price of one" kind of post today as, not only we have the movie's UK trailer but...
We also have the first five minutes of the movie!

The Synopsis
"Eight talented candidates have reached the final stage of selection to join the ranks of a mysterious and powerful corporation. Entering a windowless room, where an armed guard keeps watch, they are given 80 minutes to answer one simple question.
The invigilator outlines three very specific rules that they must obey – and if they don't, they will be disqualified:
The invigilator starts the clock and leaves.
- They must not speak to the invigilator or the guard.
- They must not spoil their papers.
- They must not leave the room.
The candidates turn over their question papers, only to find that they are completely blank.
Tensions rise as the clock counts down to zero, and each candidate must decide how far they are prepared to go to win the ultimate job."
This impressive Brit thriller marked the directorial debut of the increasingly in-demand Hollywood screenwriter Stuart Hazeldine.

![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_a.png?x-id=1de89c0d-9c05-4baf-88c0-5288a0dbbf9a)
This is the second episode of the show and, with this one, we are definitely in for a treat... Not only it features the ‘first ever music video in history’, but this video is actually the Marina and the Diamonds’ hit single I Am Not a Robot's one.Wow!
The very "classic sci-fi" looking (and, of course, in black and white) music video, fits perfectly within the whole show's 1960s television programme atmosphere... It's like travelling back in time, but landing in another dimension (and in a bottle). Brilliant!
For those who don't know yet who Marina and The Diamonds is, she released her first LP, The Family Jewels (679 Recordings) early in 2010.
She comes from a Greek/Welsh background and was born in Abergavenny, and was nominated for the critics' award at this year's BRITS.
Oh, and by the way, the Diamonds in "Marina and The Diamonds" are actually her fans... Nice, isn't it?

Alain du Monde and co-host Jeannie present the most carbon efficient television show of the 1960s from inside a bottle.
The video-clip in this post is the first episode of Le CO2eux Soirée, a four part variety show created to launch Stella Artois’ new lightweight bottle, which contains less glass and therefore produces less CO2 emissions.
It's also a variety show with a difference...
A follow-up to last years’ Recyclage de Luxe Show, the CO2eux Soirée is also inspired by 1960s television programmes and is aired ‘live’ from inside the new bottle. Broadcast directly from 1963 (yep, we're travelling back in time with this one.... but it might not look like the past you knew, though), the show features the ‘first ever music video’ - of Marina and the Diamonds’ hit single I Am Not a Robot - alongside a live set from The Mystery Jets, performing their yet to be released single Dreaming of Another World.
"The show has been created by creative agency Mother and is supported with press and outdoor activity as well as an on-pack promotion."
Le CO2eux Soirée is a more intimate version of Stella Artois’ Recyclage de Luxe show, launched last autumn. The show was presented by avant-garde, eco-chic personality Alain du Monde who also co-hosts Le CO2eux Soirée. It featured Florence and the Machine alongside several eccentric guests who shared fascinating tips on how to please Mother Nature - the show’s muse – whilst maintaining a chic lifestyle.
"Stella Artois believes many small green steps help make a big difference. Their new bottles not only contain less glass but are made of 75% recycled glass; their cans are made from 50% recycled aluminium; the corrugated packaging we use for our packs is made out of 100% recycled paper and our cardboard packaging is certified compostable.
Over the coming years, the brand will continue to produce pioneering eco innovations, taking small steps towards improving the environment"
Episode 2 (featuring Marina and The Diamonds) is now available to view in our "Le CO2eux Soirée - The Marina and The Diamonds' Music Video Episode" post.
Update: Episode Three is now available to watch through our "The Mystery Jets Are Dreaming of Another World" post
Enjoy!
