Moons
Good morning everyone 
Cloudy here at present, no frost this morning.
Velvet , I'm in the process of doing an email to a client. It is the most complex email I've ever done. So I'm going it in stages, got it in first draft stage over Monday and Tuesday, then put it aside yesterday and will resume it today. I put it aside deliberately to that I can look at it afresh to see how it reads.I think that's advisable when dealing with complex accounting and taxation issues. (The client has not done anything wrong and it's not one of those tax avoidance schemes which gets mentioned in the media from time to time).
I hope everyone has a good day
âĶ.glad you will get paid for your trouble though

Another film by Alice Guy made in 1905.
The film starts with a travelogue of various places in Spain. Unusually for that time, much of this is panoramic rather that static.
Madrid at Puerta del Sol, The Prado, The Fountains of Cybele and the Palacio Real; In Granada with views of the Sierra Nevada (I think the woman seen with children at the wall was Alice Guy), and the Alhambra; in Seville, looking across the Guadalquivir River; and the Montserrat Monastery in Barcelona.
Film ends with a couple of Spanish dances.

I remember that BBC series from 2014 "Our Zoo" which a drama based on the forming of Chester Zoo by the Mottershead family back in the 1930s which was quite enjoyable. I haven't seen Channel 4's "The Secret Life of the Zoo" documentary series filmed there.

I know that stretch of road in Cheltenham. Road bends to the left and the driver must have driven straight on into the road sign/lamp post.

Not a good look for the instructor is it 
Hope no-one was hurt

ooppsssswow its interesting when you know somewhere well and you know exactly how it happened

As I know that stretch of road I was a bit puzzled as to how that accident happened. It's possible that the learner driver pressed the accelerator pedal in error instead of the brake pedal to slow down at the bend. If the car was their own there may well not have been another brake pedal for the instructor (if there) to use
Slim, on the Talking Pictures tv channel for the coming week on Wednesday at 6.30 in the morning there's a British comedy film called "It's a Great Day!" (1955). Unlikely to be worth watching though. Only point of interest was that it was the first British film to be made as a spin off from a British tv series. Series was called "The Grove Family". Only 3 episodes of that are known to exist. That was the first British tv soap series.
Then, a reminder that on Thursday at 15.10 is Alfred Hitchcock's "Number Seventeen" (1932). This was the last film he made for British International Pictures, He had wanted to make a different film but the producer (to punish film for the financial failure of his previous film "Rich and Strange" got him to make this instead.
It's one of his lesser films though the final sequence is the main highlight.
One of the actors in the film was Leon M Lion, that was his real name

Thank you El
I've made a note to watch the Hitchcock film, not just because I haven't seen it before, but also I'm on a mission to spot Hitchcock's cameo appearance

I think it would be a good idea for you to record that film as there's a much better chance of spotting the cameo if it is him. Bus/train chase sequence is latter part of film and the cameo wouldn't be more than a second long so it would be necessary to watch any scene inside the bus on a frame by frame basis.
