Ultraviolet (UV) sanitisers are marketed as an effective way of sanitising small items you carry around and use a lot.

The film is out in UK cinemas from 12 December , though the US has to wait an extra week or so until 21 December for its chance to watch....

The wait is officially over – along with Timothée Chalamet, we can return to the distant, war-torn planet known as Dune. The sci-fi tale that centres on the desert planet Arrakis and its messiah, Paul Atreides, is one of the greatest blockbusters in recent years.
