Slim, not a lot new of interest on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week, Next Sunday at 18.30 is the British film "Waterloo Road" which was made in 1944 and released in 1945. Nothing to do with the tv series. Romance/drama with a war background. John Mills plays a soldier who goes AWOL as he suspects that a conscription dodger (Stewart Granger) is making advances to his wife (Joy Shelton). Alastair Sim plays the part of Dr Montgomery (not a comedy role).
Moonie is not going to like this.....
I have a fiver on Wolves 
Sorry Moons. I was a traitor all along 
(That means everyone can lump on WBA 
)
Hope all are well

Thank you El 
That happened probably more than we think...
I'm not that keen on war films generally, but as it's not really based on the war, I might give it a watch...John Mills is a fine actor

@Moonie you may be interested in this BBC article about a photographer (Phil Loach) from the Black Country - there's to be an exhibition of his work in Birmingham and a book published:

That article also has a link to his archive of photos.

There are 390,000 km of hedgerows in England:

E M Forster's "A Passage to India" was first adapted as a play (by Santha Rama Rau) in 1960. The film director David Lean saw the play and wanted to make a film back in the 1960s. Forster refused to allow this to be made. Instead, he allowed a tv production to be made. That production was directed by Waris Hussein in 1965 and was shown by the BBC in its Play of the Month series. BBC Four are showing that again tomorrow evening. Leads are Sybil Thorndike (the part played by Peggy Ashcroft in the film) and Virginia McKenna (the part played by Judy Davis in the film).
Black and white and more stage bound than the film, some consider it to be better than the film,
Forster died in 1970 and Lean subsequently acquired to rights to make the play into a film but largely rewrote it.

It's a lovely sight to see El
I know just from the hedges in my garden, the benefit it is for the wildlife.

That might be worth a watch, Thanks El
I remember seeing the Lean version, it would be interesting to see the differences between both his film and the earlier play

I think that the BBC production of "A Passage to India" was the first tv or film work that Virginia McKenna did after "Born Free"
@slimfern posted:Now a reputable charity
Yes, Virginia McKenna and her husband Bill Travers set that up along with their son Will back in 1984. She's still a trustee and Will the executive president.
Incidentally Jenny Seagrove is also a trustee. She set up another charity called Mane Chance Sanctuary which is UK based and looks after rescued horses.

It's quite shameful that such charities are needed, but then any kind of charity wouldn't be needed in an ideal world.
I've never been a horsey type person...they're a bit big & powerful for me, but they are beautiful animals
