Good morning everyone it's a cloudy day ahead but it should be dry at least.
Enjoy your day everyone 
Foe those interested in Sherlock Holmes, Talking Pictures will start showing a series of that name on Wednesday. It's a TV series with episodes around 30 minutes each dating back to 1954/5. It's in English though was filmed in France,
Holmes was played by Ronald Howard who does look rather like his father Leslie.
Watson was played by Howard Marion Crawford though in this series as H Marion Crawford.
Although most of the cast appearing during the series aren't that well known, there are a few such as Michael Gough and a very young Richard O'Sullivan. There's also an appearance by an American film star - Paulette Goddard - she was the leading actress in 2 of Charlie Chaplin's films - Modern Times and The Great Dictator and was married to him at that time.
Evening all
A mixture of sunshine and showers today.
Moonie, Monty Don presents Gardeners World and he is my gardening guru 
Baz and Ros like him too. 
El, you are a man of many talents….even if gardening isn’t one of them.
I potted on 72 plug plants which will eventually go into my hanging baskets and, now my hall resembles a greenhouse.
I hope you’ve all had a good day

Hi Yogi
Quite a nice day here today but going cold now 
Oh, right, gotcha
That brilliant 
Well plugged 
My day has been good, I hope yours has too
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros
Hug for the night owls
Good morning everyone I think we are in for some wet days ahead with maybe some sunny intervals.
Enjoy your day everyone
@Moonie posted:Thanks El but it was inevitable
We’ll soon be playing your team
It had seem inevitable for a long time
I doubt if your and my team will be playing soon in the leagues That would require your team to be relegated next season and for mine to be promoted again. Cheltenham's aim will be to try to stay out of the relegation zone next season - that's being realistic as they are a small club and, although they were in league one before for 3 seasons, they did struggle then. I wouldn't expect your club to be relegated again

Fingers crossed for both of our teams El
And now one of my film posers.
Identify a film which was made in 1954 which was a drama with the addition of songs, the film was about acting and alcoholism and the effect of that on the relationship between the two leads, one of whom was mainly in musicals but the other wasn't, and the songs were by Harold Arlen (music) and Ira Gershwin (lyrics).
If that's too easy for you, here's another, Identify a second film where the same criteria as above apply
(the leads in both films were very well known)

A star is born...
Link to IMDB for that second film if you want the answer:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046874/
It's a serious film and not typical of the two major leads.

I haven't seen that one...definitely not a part Bing has played before
Plus didn't check the year .....doh!
@slimfern posted:Before I take a look...am going to say 'New York New York'
As you realised afterwards, that's a much later film (1977)

I had recorded it some time ago and got round to watching it yesterday. Certainly the most serious of all his films that I've ever seen.
As with "A Song is Born" is has been remade a couple of times though as TV movies, no songs. The second remake in 1982 had two well known leads who you wouldn't think had ever been in the same film - Faye Dunaway and Dick van Dyke,

Personally best known for 'Rosemary's Baby' & 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'.......polar opposites indeed

I don't think Faye Dunaway was in Rosemary's Baby though Mia Farrow was, not that I've ever seen that film - my mother asked me never to watch it. I do understand why.
Faye Dunaway's best known films would be "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Thomas Crown Affair" (the original version). You might be thinking of another of her films - Chinatown - as that was directed by the same director of Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski.
Oh, another famous film of Dick van Dyke's is Mary Poppins

Yes that's right ...
Chinatown...was that with Jack Nicholson?
Rosemary's baby was quite scary, but good for a film of it's time....I watched it with my Mum in the mid seventies in my early teens
Good evening all
Sunny spells and heavy rain showers today.
Nice to see you in here, Slim
El, the only answer I knew was, A Star Is Born
Sorry your team are going to be relegated, Moonie
