wow thank you EL -interesting

Slim, not much of interest on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week.
Tomorrow at 12.35 there's "Baby, the Rain Must Fall" (1965) (Steve McQueen & Lee Remick), The director (Robert Mulligan) and scriptwriter (Horton Foote) were aiming for a repeat success of their previous collaboration "To Kill a Mockingbird" but it's a lesser film.
On Tuesday at 11.50an there's "711 Ocean Drive" (1950) starring Edmund O'Brien in a crime film. He's a telephone repairman who fixes up a bookie's phone system which is a front for illegal activity and he becomes involved,
A 4 minute film by Georges MeliÃĻs made in 1900 called "A Christmas dream":

Not much in the way of a story but the music track added is a pleasant addition.
Same poster as the one whose clips had ended with a really unpleasant extra but that's been changed to one with Chaplin pulling faces.

Thank you El
I've not seen 'Baby the rain must fall', but I have seen 'To Kill a Mockingbird', it was one of the books we studied at school

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a fine film. I know the book has been studied a schools but it wasn't one which was on the syllabus I had.

Thanks Baz and I hope you are too
That;s good to know about Father Brown. I thought that Claudie Blakley as Mrs Devine would be good

There's an Australian tennis player whose birth name was Storm Sanders. She married last November and now plays as Storm Hunter

@El Loro posted:Good morning everyone
Raining here. Not surprisingly there are flood warnings on the rivers in this county - there's been rain every day so far this year here. I don't live in a flood risk area.
I hope everyone has a good day
Pretty much the same as here El
The black swans are back, so they're obviously not bothered by the weather

Sounds like the title of a disaster movie El
@El Loro posted:The Slimbridge Wetland Centre is a haven for many swans so it's quite possible that the ones you have back had been there
They may possibly have visited you good folk in Gloucester, but I believe our black swans are from Dawlish
In the middle of the town is a flat landscaped area called 'The Lawn', home to various wildfowl and the famous Dawlish black swans. Brought here from Australia by a local resident, they have been here since at least the early 1900s.

I did a search on Slimbridge black swan and found a page on the Slimbridge Wetland Centre site with photos which look very similar to yours. I can't post a link to it as it's one with symbols in it which don't work on this site

Morning troops
Hope all are okay or getting there 
I suppose one advantage of the rain is it's reasonably mild El. The poor light is the downer though.
They've just had a m to f trans reverend or minister on This Morning. I know, I had This Morning on. Not a convincing job if you get my drift. Seeing as I'm now in the trans capital of Europe I maybe can observe that - the world is definitely changing. In other news the Rev Richard Coles announced he had retired on Holland's Hootenanay - I was never comfortable with him or the way he went about it. Just an opinion. We all need an angle though and that's what they are/were.
Hope you're improving Moons
Good

Another accountant rang me yesterday afternoon not realising that he was ringing me - we put it down to him being very busy with tax returns
I'll do YOUR tax returns El
Well, creativity seems the Tory way to go.
Don't endorse that. I know you are neutral
