The Daily Question Bit

The last Daily Question was from Sanjay, formerly of Penrith but now living in Kendal (check out his great teashop, 'Sanjay's Delectable Sandwiches') and it was:
'How many GOOD Elvis films are there?'
Responses have flooded in, and here's a sample:

'Two. GI Blues and Blue Hawaii are the only ones worth a look.' (Neil Down, Sedbergh)

'All the 50s ones where he's young and mean, especially Loving You because that's in colour.' (Nana Papendreou, Athens, Greece)

'The ones where he's driving sportscars and diving off cliffs. Best is Fun In Acapulco.' (Biff Carter, NY City)

The great news for anyone who does like Elvis movies is that 'Terror On Presley Beach' features an unreleased number from his unfinished 1964 picture, Driving A Sportscar Down To A Beach In Hawaii (check it out, Biff!). The song's called, 'Why Rock (When You Can Make Bad Movies?)' and is a solid humdinger!!

Moving away from the Elvis theme, today's Daily Question is to do with the name of the dying planet in 'Terror...' and comes from Chantelle Szerlowski in Accrington. It is:

"If you discovered a new planet, what would you call it?"
