No, they haven't released a new Star Wars film set in Surrey - this is actually a photo of mega movie fan Luke Kay. The dad of four from Swindon has decided to sell his million pound collection of Hollywood memorabilia, as it was costing him a fortune in storage to keep it all.

The kooky collector's haul includes iconic props used in all three Star Wars films, as well as Battlestar Gallactica, The Matrix and a host of other big screen classics.

This week's winning caption is:

"The global recession had generated far more interest in the gardening job than had been expected".

Congratulations to kevlaw, who wins a bottle of wine...again! In case you're wondering, the captions are anonymous when judged, so no one knows who wrote them... come on everyone else, you can do better!

What with the middle class feeling especially squeezed in this recession, Gordon Brown's idea to house intergalatic refugees and to give them Han-douts is expected to make him even less popular.
