Minor British comedy called "Father's Doing Fine" (1952) currently on Talking Pictures channel which shows it from time to time.  A still from that film:

You'll recognise Virginia McKenna and the film was her first film.

Hi Yogi

It hasn’t been to bad a day here. Managed to all but dry some washing outside

Heavy rain expected tomorrow and Sunday

My day has been good, I hope yours has too

Evening Moonie

Your weather has definitely been better than mine. My washing had to go into the tumble dryer.

Sorry you have rain forecast for the weekend. I think we have showers/rain forecast for the next 6 days

What are you watching tonight? I’m watching a nature programme on BBC2

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

It’s good to have a tumble dryer. Unfortunately no room in our kitchen for one 🙂

It doesn’t really matter about the weather over the weekend tbh Yogi. Nothing planned and no shopping to do

I have a recorded football game on currently

I hope that's just a temporary problem. I don't use gmail so can't check it out. I do have a google account which I hardly ever use, signed in but nothing odd happened.

Written by George Axlerod, whose previous film was Breakfast at Tiffany's. and features Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury who had previously been in the 1946 musical "Till the Clouds Roll By", the film "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962) (not the remake) is on BBC Two tonight.

Much darker than those films. Angela Lansbury's best film (she was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actress) and her role is very different to Murder She Wrote.

Yes, Moonie. It's been a bit of a see-saw recently In 3rd place, then lose and drop to 6th, then win and back up to 3rd, then lose and drop to 6th, then win today and back up to 6th. A lot of teams with only a few points between them.

Still it’s better to see-saw around the top than the bottom El

Hi and bye tonight

Weather wasn’t great but not too chilly.

Mr Y and I decided to invest in a treadmill. Our (already rubbish) fitness levels plummeted during shielding and with Scottish autumnal/wintery weather not being conducive to walking outdoors, we thought a treadmill might be useful. I’ve never been on one before and was knackered after a few minutes🙈 but I will persevere

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

Hug for any night owls

Hi Yogi
The weather is dire here too and set to get worse tomorrow

Good luck with the treadmill. Rather you than me

The thing is to start off very slowly and work up so you don’t damage yourself 😉

My exercise is going up and down stairs at least 25 times a day

Night night, sleep well, sweet dreams

Good morning everyone it's a very windy morning and another wet day ahead. I watched An Affair to Remember yesterday, I don't know how many times I've watched it but I enjoyed it just as much.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Raining here, doesn't seem to be as windy as yesterday.

Yogi, I hope the treadmill helps

Squiggle, I've seen both "An Affair to Remember" and the original "Love Affair" (1939), both of which are good. Grandmother Janou was played by Cathleen Nesbitt in "An Affair to Remember" and Maria Ouspenskaya in "Love Affair". Maria Ouspenskaya's role was small but made the film. I've never bothered to watch the 1994 remake "Love Affair" (Warren Beatty & Annette Bening)  but the grandmother was played by Katharine Hepburn.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone

Wet overnight but the sun has just burst through. The weather forecast says sunny intervals changing to cloudy by lunchtime

El, I didn’t get round to watching the Manchurian Candidate. I nodded off

Have a great day everyone

You can watch it on BBC iplayer if you wanted to - it's available for 6 days. It's not Hamlet but some have compared the Angela Lansbury's character as a bit like Gertrude, Hamlet's mother.

Thanks for the info

BBC Two seems to be having some good films in the afternoons at the weekend. Next Saturday they are showing "Brief Encounter" which is an outstanding film.
On Sunday they have "The Apartment" (1960) which was directed by Billy Wilder and starred Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. It's highly regarded though it's not a film I liked at all. A man tries to rise in his company by letting its executives use his apartment for trysts, but complications and a romance of his own ensue.  
The two films are connected though are very different. In Brief Encounter there's a scene where the two leads do go to a flat but nothing untoward happens as they are interrupted. Billy Wilder used that scene as the basis for "The Apartment".
I don't know if BBC Two or TV magazines will mention that.

Evening all

Weather has been dreich today.

Squiggle, I love An Affair To Remember - I even bought it on dvd.

Thanks for the heads up about Brief Encounter, El. I’ll be sure to record it

Don’t worry Moonie, I’m taking it easy on the treadmill and will build up slowly.

I hope you have all had a good day

Hi Yogi

The weather here hasn’t been that good for a lot of the day here either

That’s good to hear

My day has been good, bar the weather, fankoo
