but if things get critical. they leave behind a trail of destruction. the dynamic duo of action comedy but spencer and terrence hill. they shot to fame in an age when much easement was still celebrated unreservedly on the silver screen this scene from bummer is a real hit at the spencer hill festival. was. around three thousand fans have come to learn much of the sex need to celebrate the lives and work of their heroes both have a cult following as spencer who died more than two years ago and sonny boy hill is now seventy nine. but spencer even has a double gang or two s. that he just really loves forgetting just like me and like most of them were

involved in sports or the high level and i was also a swimmer at a club and president this is and that's why i just large god spencer i have this awkward dynamic teardrop shape and this chorus and this tops it all he died on my birthday you book june twenty seventh there's history. there are also a few terence hill lookalikes in law much this group. the alps from italy to attend the event. many fans remember the films from their childhood so what's so great about them. but no one died you can watch the films with anyone who does really cool punch loads. and why does the festival take place in the sleepy little town of la much. bigger because terrence hill spent his childhood hero mark in a house that still standing with an italian father and a german mother. mr blue eyes is actually called lived here for a few years in the one nine hundred forty s.

a charmer even as a child. now almost eighty he still is not long ago hill was interesting for a new film. called i can honestly say. i'm a sax awful i unfortunately he couldn't make it to the festival but of course he's here in spirit just. like for this high wire scene. at. school. and the legend doesn't stop with the too much oh protagonist record if it suited has been surrounded by fans since he arrived he sometimes played the villain in their films the work was great he says especially with spencer. it was a fantastic time. and the thing i really treasure the most is that spencer wasn't

just your colleague but also our friend. and your lot of guys i know were jealous about that it. was more reticent more reserved than this. but a sponsor of this barcode with your manager who does. not. just like the films most of the time the duo is fighting the good fight and always with a twinkle in their eyes but they don't seem to have impressed very many women you have to look hard to find them here. but i laugh at the films too and i don't think they're guy movies but at the festivals you notice that south which is mostly good the funny thing is these festivals are the only ones where women don't have to wait in line for the loo and. maybe spencer hill films are a man's world. but costumes are fun for everyone. and

every fan enjoys a festival highlight the singing of the bud spencer hart choir. the best part everyone knows the tomb. and exactly which film it came from. time now to travel around the continent to get you up to date with all the latest goings on in europe and today's express we travel to italy and france but we start in germany and visit a blooming trade show. the world's largest garden trade plan is taking place this week in cologne around two thousand exhibitors from sixty countries are showcasing the latest trends for green

life started with tragedy but she's since bounced back let's find out how she became a social media star. this fifteen gram construction that is helping the pomeranian mincey to run around on four legs again. we couldn't find a prosthesis we looked for a long time and lost as far afield as the us everyone kept telling us it would never work. it was just four months old when an acquaintance of a paddock and his girlfriend's son had told hawkins dropped breaking the tiny dog's leg. to vet the treatment he made some mistakes and soon the leg had to be amputated phones by those when they had to take off her leg we thought oh no the poor thing and most of it are never be able to play with the other dogs she won't have a normal life and i'm honestly mia. the young couple from northern germany wrecked

their brains to try and find a way to help the dog quickly got used to life on three legs but it soon began to cause problems with her back. then sandra who was studying physics had no idea why not design a priest pieces herself as. these were made with a three d. printer out of carbon a mix. in other mold so i can pour instead of having. been times when i was young i had to show you around six months to come up with a really good fit that we put a lot of time into making something good for her. in the end and technician took sandra's designs and tied it a prosthetic for the dog and missy became a star on instagram. the pomeranian now has over one hundred thousand followers on the platform her own is want to do more than just post

a few photos of their pets. shockingly lots of vets like the one operated on are unaware of the options. we want to spread the word and i'm off and on and the things andrea will back me up and i say we really didn't expect it to take off like this. just to how many. of the fashion shoots missy is often joined by the bodies month and so has been putting on it is now she says. maybe she's trying to pretty herself up whenever we pull the camera out she runs her own water dish and dunks herself we really don't know why. mincey is still practicing with have pressed that at the moment she anyway sit at home. form of now we're going to make things a little tougher because. during today's training session when she is supposed to clamber over an obstacle. she makes it and of course

a successful attempt gets posted straight away until it ends on the hoof they pick struggles will help other pet owners to make tough decisions. because we want to show that a dog can have a happy life with three legs the dog shouldn't be put to sleep if they lose one life with a prosthesis can be normal. but he isn't that the first time on this. the only is think it will take their dog about a year to just completely turn music in the meantime mincey will continue to have fans that having just three legs doesn't have to slow you down. now we stay in germany and head to mice and a town synonymous with porcelain the first european porcelain was manufactured there and seventeen term when a factory was opened in the book. over the last three hundred years the tradition has been carried forward every two years the town celebrates the local craft we
