And now for a two part film question.
1 for one point who is connected with these films : Rebecca, Suspicion, Spellbound, Strangers on a Train, and North by Northwest
2 for the other nine points who else is connected with those films, excluding the wife of the first.
Good morning everyone, I think we have a fresher wind than you EL and it feels quite chilly.
Enjoy your day everyone 
Good morning everyone
It’s dark and rainy up here.
El, is the answer to Q1, Alfred Hitchcock?
Have a good day everyone
I seem to be the only one here with fair weather - it's quite sunny here now and only a slight breeze.
Yogi, you are correct with question 1 
As far as question 2 is concerned I deliberately ruled out Hitchcock's wife Alma Reville who frequently worked with him on many of his films in one capacity or other, generally with the script. It is an actor who is best remembered for one role not in a Hitchcock film. There was a recent film version where his character was played by a well known English actor.
Re that scam tax phone call I had the other day, I've since found out that other people locally have had the same phone call. The local police put out a warnng for this. I had a word with the vicar, as others in our parish have been rung, and she's going to give a warning to people at tomorrow's services.
I think that these criminals target a specific area before moving on to another.

I like Hitchcock films, my favourites are Rear Window and Dial M For Murder.
I know Cary Grant was in some of those films you mentioned but I’m sure he wasn’t in Rebecca. The only person I can think it might be, is the actor who played Waverly in The Man From Uncle but, I don’t know the actor’s name.

Good idea to have your vicar mention this scam.
I always warn my parents if I hear of any new scams doing the rounds.

We have a breezy and cool day here. Very cold earlier in but moderately better now
Shopping done, washing on the line. Me fed and watered
Time for some relaxation(being idle) time methinks
Hope you all have a great weekend
Well done on getting your chores done. Enjoy your relaxation, Moonie
It’s still raining up here

Spot on, it's Leo G Carroll, one of those actors whose appearance stayed much the same over the years. Him in Suspicion (1941):
and then from 1964 in one of the early Man from U.N.C.L.E episodes:

Yay, that’s who I meant. I’d never have gotten his name though.
El Loro posted:Yogi, I watched probably all the Man from U.N,C.L.E, and the Girl series when I was young and also North by Northwest which was Carroll's best known role in a Hitchcock film so his name is easy for me to remember
I used to watch The Man From U.N.C.L.E too but I couldn’t remember his real name
Goodnight and sweet dreams Ros.
Night 🦉hug for Summer, in case she gets the chance to pop in
night yogi and summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone
As the clocks have changed I may find that the time shown on this post is an hour out. It's something which happens on this forum but it's only temporary for an hour or so. So We could see a time of 9.29 for this post and a post half an hour later 8 ish
Fairly cloudy though bits of sunshine and a northerly wind making it cooler than recently. Widespread frost is expected tonight.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone, a nice bright morning with a bit of a breeze. Very confusingly I woke up just as the clocks changed! Very unsettling.
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend,
Good morning everyone.
It’s dry, bright and chilly.
I woke at my usual time although, thanks to the clocks going back, it was an hour earlier.
Have a good day everyone.
Squiggle, that would have been at 2.00 BST/1.0 GMT and I can see why that would have been very unsettling for you. I hope you were able to get back to sleep
Yogi, it always seems to take some time to readjust to the changed hour. Although I understand why people in the north of the country want the hours changing, in the south it does seem a bit pointless.
The vicar mentioned the tax scam phone call to the congregation this morning at church. She's had an email from someone in church thanking her for the warning. When the parishioner got home from church there was a message on her phone that HMRC were issuing a court judgement against her and to ring a given number. So she realised this was a scam and deleted it, knowing that was the thing to do rather than panic.

night yogi surprised Mollie was in the DO-
night summer if you pop in
Good morning 
and yay- emoji's!!!! 😁👏🎉🎃👻🕸🕷 I LOVE them 💖
I hope youve all had a good weekend 🤗 sorry I haven't been around, my guests have kept me very busy. On Friday night I had 7 extra people sleeping in my house. Needless to say, I had a lot of washing up to do and the bedding laundry is ongoing...
its been lovely seeing everyone though
Good morning everyone
A frosty, bright day. I like this type of autumn weather
Ros, I think Mollie will be safe next week as she’ll probably get a bounce back vote.
Ruth needs to go before Mollie.
El, I’m sure the client meeting will go well
Summer, I’m glad you enjoyed your time with your visitors
Have a good day everyone
Good morning everyone, a crisp and cold bright Autumn day here. Sounds like a happy and busy weekend Summer.
Enjoy your day everyone
Tomorrow's episode of Doctors could be very strange. They generally do a Halloween special on October 31 each year. Very variable and it's impossible to guess what they'll do tomorrow. Sometimes it's a haunted house, sometimes rather like a M R James ghost story, sometimes more like one of those Hammer horror portmanteau films. It tends to be a one-off unconnected with any ongoing story, quite likely nothing to do with patients, and quite possibly very unreal.
If you don't know what a portmanteau film is, it's a collection of short films brought together with a unifying film. Outside the Hammer films, the film Dead of Night (1945) is the most famous and easily the best portmanteau film.
Good evening gang 👋
El, if you need any emoji's translating, please do ask 👍
I agree with yogi's view on Molly in strictly, and I think she's back to ballroom next week, which she's much more comfortable with, so she should do well 💃🏻🕺
night yogi and summer agree yogi ruth first
Good morning everyone
Bits of blue sky here, not as chiilly as yesterday, there was a bit of rain earlier.
Watched the final episode on Inspector George Gently yesterday. Very sad and downbeat. If you have recorded it, you'll want to watch something more cheerful afterwards.
I hope everyone has a good All Hallows' Eve
Good morning everyone, mostly grey clouds here so it doesn't sound as nice as where you are EL, as you say I don't think it's quite as chilly as yesterday.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning I hope you all slept well 🤗 it's damp but warmer here too. I love the frosts ☺️
Moonie its good go see you back, are you feeling better?
happy halloween everyone! 🎃👻🦇🕷🕸💀😈
Scott House where Sir Peter Scott lived is to be opened to the public at the Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Gloucestershire.

Sir Peter Scott was the pioneer of nature conservation. Besides founding the trust he also founded the World Wildlife Trust.
A 1962 photo of him at Slimbridge.
And that of course is David Attenborough with him.
