aesop Member	posted 15-03-2007 21:43 The spa vacation sounds great. Have a good time. Let me know what you think of the reunion show. Some ATGB fans like it, others don't... aesop quote: Originally posted by nothrpuckr: Dallas to visit brother & his family for 5 days (birthday party for 4yo niece, 2yo nephew). Then, I'm on to Phoenix just to get away and relax at a spa for 4 days. I'm up to Series 7 (four episodes in). Yes, it's a lot of viewing but I'm so addicted. I haven't even watched the news all week. I know I won't get through Series 8-9 tonight, but I'd like to try. I need closure! IP: Logged
Texas Member	posted 15-03-2007 23:37 It is a great series and we have been watching it as the disc come in, but I still have to watch BallyK. quote: Originally posted by nothrpuckr: I've been watching my mom's ATGB DVDs. What a great show. I admit, though, that I haven't watched a single BallyK since I borrowed ATGB. I should head over to the confessional, now. {hanging head in shame} IP: Logged
Chuck Member	posted 16-03-2007 01:04 Thanks, Irish. The Burren it is. I think there is a Burn of Ireland, but it's a stream on Orkney. Maybe a knowledgeable Brit can fill us in. IP: Logged
aesop Member	posted 16-03-2007 01:17 I know something about Orkney. The capital is Kirkwall and 'Highland Park' is the most northerly distillery in Scotland. TRIVIA: Highland Park was Inspector Dalziel's favourite whisky. aesop quote: Originally posted by Chuck: Thanks, Irish. The Burren it is.

irishgirl Member	posted 16-03-2007 02:15 here's a picture of the burren (from google). it's actually a beautiful place, but very rocky. quote: Originally posted by Chuck: Thanks, Irish.

judithtoo Member	posted 16-03-2007 12:51 I watched "Cousin Bette" on dvd. One of the main characters was played by a young Helen Mirren. She was in her twenties but looked 16 and very beautiful. It was her first role in a mini series. IP: Logged
nothrpuckr Member	posted 17-03-2007 06:25 Made it through Series 9 of ATGB (but only half of the recap special at the end of the disc). Great series ... a must-see. IP: Logged

aesop Member	posted 17-03-2007 11:04 It took me over 2 years to see all 9 ATGB series on PBS. You watched it all in a matter of days. :-) aesop quote: Originally posted by nothrpuckr: Made it through Series 9 of ATGB (but only half of the recap special at the end of the disc).

aesop Member	posted 17-03-2007 11:20 For anyone that enjoys wonderfully warm and likeable characters, excellent scripts and both subtle and witty humour it really doesn't get any better than ATGB. aesop quote: Originally posted by judithtoo: Agree.

rustynoni Member	posted 17-03-2007 23:38 I watched "When harry met Sally" after several years' break. (Have I already said this?) IP: Logged

Rona Member	posted 18-03-2007 19:13 The House of Elliott. Thank you to whomever recommended it here. IP: Logged
rustynoni Member	posted 18-03-2007 20:58 Love it, love it, love it Rona! However, it finishes abruptly like BKA. IP: Logged
aesop Member	posted 19-03-2007 12:03 I have a second episode of "Foyle's War" to watch today. aesop IP: Logged
Janine Member	posted 19-03-2007 12:06 Just watched 'Manon des Sources' Very good - never saw the twist at the end until it was upon me! IP: Logged
rustynoni Member	posted 20-03-2007 11:19 A computer screen while I work this evening into the night...it should be storming and I should be working by candlelight with Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor blaring away and it might be even more exciting! IP: Logged
judithtoo Member	posted 20-03-2007 13:03 Just found out that John Duttine who played the part of David Powlett-Jones in "To Serve Them All My Days" is the same person who plays Sgt. Miller in "Heartbeat". The years and a few pounds certainly make a difference. Now that I take a closer look I can see it but someone had to point it out to me. IP: Logged
rustynoni Member	posted 20-03-2007 20:47 REALLY??????? I have to look! LOVED him in TSTAMD. IP: Logged
judithtoo Member	posted 21-03-2007 12:26 I watched the last few episodes of "To Serve them......". It was excellent (IMO that is).John Duttine played the part so well. I like him in Heartbeat too but didn't realize it was the same actor. Of course I have aged and put on a few pounds since 1980 too but at times we expect the actors to stay the same. IP: Logged
Chuck Member	posted 22-03-2007 18:27 Whilst musing on motion pictures, I realised that most of my favourite film comedies are British, e.g.: The Lavender Hill Mob, with Alec Guinness Make Mine Mink, with Terry-Thomas The Wrong Arm of the Law, with Peter Sellers Whisky Galore, with Gordon Jackson The League of Gentlemen, with Jack Hawkins and many others. If any of you haven't seen them, I recommend them heartily. [This message has been edited by Chuck (edited 22-03-2007).] IP: Logged
maeve Member	posted 22-03-2007 22:44 Yesterday, I was lucky enough to catch the film, Billy Elliot, again...I really enjoyed this film with the young man who played the title role. The dancing & musical scenes were very original...along with the softly played theme of being gay. IP: Logged

aesop Member	posted 22-03-2007 23:53 I must add to your list, "Passport to Pimlico" with Margaret Rutherford, Stanley Holloway and Hermione Baddeley. aesop quote: Originally posted by Chuck: Whilst musing on motion pictures, I realised that most of my favourite film comedies are British, e.g.: The Lavender Hill Mob, with Alec Guinness Make Mine Mink, with Terry-Thomas The Wrong Arm of the Law, with Peter Sellers Whisky Galore, with Gordon Jackson The League of Gentlemen, with Jack Hawkins and many others.

There is so much cinematic richness from places such as Denham Studios in the 30's and 40's and then these later examples. IP: Logged
GatorGal Member	posted 23-03-2007 12:45 I must add "Doctor in the House" for a good laugh. I enjoyed a lot of the "Carry On" movies, some are a little silly, but good clean fun. IP: Logged
maeve Member	posted 23-03-2007 22:40 Hartily agree with all the above. Watched, In Which We Served, last eveing..a superb film re WW11 served up by Noel Coward and featuring Mr. Coward, Michael Wilding and John Mills among many others. IP: Logged
Rona Member	posted 25-03-2007 06:27 I can't believe I just spent an hour and a half watching Ballyk clips on YouTube. Curse you (and bless you) Sweetamyleigh! IP: Logged
rustynoni Member	posted 25-03-2007 09:02 The original 39 Steps with Robert Donat. IP: Logged
Judie Member	posted 25-03-2007 22:06 Last night I watched "The Man Who Never Was". It's a WW II movie and it's great. True story according to the info at the start of the movie. From Netflix at a glance: Based on a true espionage story, this World War II drama follows Lt. Commander Montagu (Clifton Webb) in an operation to fool the Nazis into believing that British forces plan to land in Greece. Montagu plants false documents on a dead man dressed as a British officer and arranges for the man's body to be discovered by Germans off the coast of Spain. Tensions rise as the Germans investigate the dead man's identity. Gloria Grahame co-stars. IP: Logged
maeve Member	posted 25-03-2007 23:49 As an aside, I got into British films in the late 50's (19's not 18's for all you wags,) when one of the television stations put on these films every afternoon on a series entitled, The Afternoon Film Festival. I caught all the Alec Guiness films; many James Mason films including the Seventh Veil w/Ann Todd; and a wonderful Irish film The Informer with Victor McLaughlin (sp). Been hooked ever since.

Chuck Member	posted 26-03-2007 02:30 Thanks, Barb, I have been trying to remember the name "The Informer," with Victor McLaglen and Preston Foster. IP: Logged
aesop Member	posted 26-03-2007 14:42 Thrice blessed, a third episode of Foyle's War. This week it's about a suspicious death of a young woman in a munitions factory and the murder of Sgt. Milner's estranged wife in a back alley. Is there a connection between these 2 deaths and will Inspector Foyle be able to solve the case. aesop IP: Logged

maeve Member	posted 27-03-2007 01:14 Thanks, Chuck for referring to my original username...and did you notice, how could you not, a very young Barbara Stanwick? IP: Logged
rustynoni Member	posted 27-03-2007 11:33 Casablanca AGAIN and The 39 Steps -- Have I said this??? Hmmmm. Ah! I DID say it earlier. Well, I saw a bit of Marnie as well -- Hitchcock time it seems. Love Vertigo. [This message has been edited by rustynoni (edited 27-03-2007).] IP: Logged
