Post your questions for Jane Asher

Jane Asher has been on our screens for almost 73 years – her first role was aged five, in Mandy, and she turns 78 on 5 May.

Every Ryan Gosling Movie, Ranked

Gosling is more than Kenough, people—and he has 27 films to prove it. It's no secret that Ryan Gosling can do it all. He was more than Kenough in Barbie, showcasing his comedic, dancing, and singing chops in one scene-stealing role after another. In Drive, the actor barely even had to speak to ooze cool. (Seriously: Gosling says around 100 lines in that film and it's still easily one of the best movies of his career.) So is Crazy Stupid Love, where the actor puts on an ungodly level of charm. Over the course of his career, the 43-year-old actor has racked up three Oscar nominations, for Half Nelson, La La Land, and Barbie. We have a feeling he's just getting started. Now, the actor is back and and better than ever in The Fall Guy, an action-packed film about a stunt double who becomes the hero. As the Gosling takeover continues, we looked back in the rearview mirror of our stunt car to rank every film of the actor's career so far.
