Spider-Man filming shows superhero in truck scene
Look out, here comes Spider-Man - tied to an armoured truck
A scene for the forthcoming Spider-Man movie has been revealed, showing the superhero tethered by his webbing to a moving armoured vehicle.
The sequence was filmed on Tuesday at Fanum House in Basingstoke - the former headquarters of the Automobile Association.

Onlookers said it was "cool" for Basingstoke, although the presence of large blue screens and New York signs suggested the Hampshire town might not be playing a starring role.
Rare 2,000-year-old brooch unearthed by detectorist

Mr Turner said he initially thought it was a "kid's toy"
A metal detectorist who unearthed a rare 2,000-year-old brooch said he initially thought it was only "a kid's toy".

He sent it to his local finds liaison officer, who confirmed its age and would now like to document it.

Grandfather, 90, proposes to wife of six decades
Tony spoke to BBC Radio Oxford about his surprise for Sandra
"I don't know what I'd do without her". Tony wanted only one thing for his 90th birthday, for his wife Sandra to marry him again.
The pair, from Banbury, first wed in the late 1950s and have been together ever since.
Tony said he had been trying to think of a way to celebrate his 90th birthday last month with something "we can both enjoy with all the family".
Having discounted a bungee jump or a skydive, which he said he "didn't want to do", Tony settled on rolling back the years and proposing to his wife of six decades for a second time.
