Where better to escape to paradise, than unspoilt Scotland Island, in Sydney’s Pittwater. This dream encouraged well known actor, John Jarratt, to find a dilapidated old fisherman’s cottage on the island. The fisherman’s cottage soon proved less than a dream, as its cramped spaces left no space for entertaining, the roof leaked, and it was literally falling down around John Jarratt’s ears.

Five completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is tennis. Did you know:

• The very first Wimbledon Championship was in 1877 when it was watched by some 200 spectators. In 1999 it was broadcast to 174 countries, with an estimated global audience of 1 billion people.
• Tennis was first played in France before the 12th century, using bare hand to hit the ball. Players then progressed to using gloves, then short bats and now rackets.
• Before it became known as tennis, the sport was called 'Sphairistike'
• Slazenger has provided every tennis ball for the Wimbledon Championship since 1902.
• The youngest ever US Open men's champion is Pete Sampras, who was 19 years and 28 days old when he won the title for the first time in 1990.
