"This is to confirm that very sadly Peter Vaughan passed away at approximately 10.30 this morning. He died peacefully with his family around him."

Actor and lead singer with the Flying Pickets during the early 1980s, he went on to take roles in several popular TV series, including Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale

Brian Hibbard, who has died of prostate cancer aged 65, first found fame as a member of the Flying Pickets, a group of actors who left the socialist playwright John McGrath's 7:84 theatre group to woo audiences through their a cappella singing. They topped the pop charts in 1983 with a cover version of Only You, trumping Yazoo, the duo of Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke, who had reached No 2 with their original recording. This Christmas No 1 single and the group's flamboyant look – gaudy suits, large hats and Hibbard's massive sideburns – led to brief stardom for the Flying Pickets, a name coined because some of them had supported the miners during their strikes of 1972 and 1974. They hit the Top 10 again with another cover,...

With Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, Edgar Wright is taking another step up from the success of homegrown flick Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Now feted by everyone from Tarantino to Spielberg, the British director talks about his unlikely La life – and how a film-obsessed nerd from Somerset came to be living it

Edgar Wright is a fanboy. Hidden under his standard film director's get-up – black trousers, black cardigan, black jacket – beats the throbbing heart of geekdom. Unfocus your eyes, listen to his excited tone as he talks about Gremlins and The Evil Dead, Hitchcock and Landis, title fonts and running gags, and it's not too hard to reimagine him in a sci-fi T-shirt, clutching a raft of graphic novels.

As a teenager obsessed with films, his current life – living in Hollywood, hanging out with Quentin Tarantino, collaborating with Steven Spielberg and dating an Oscar nominee (Anna Kendrick...
