Must say this Precious film does look worth a nod. They had the 'In the Loop" on earlier tonight so I reckon you could catch it on Iplayer tomorrow.

I'm off to bedebyes.   Keep on eye on my lot and make sure they win something.  

Night Tates... if you win anything tonight I'm afraid it will only be the luck of the Irish.

The music they're playing on BBC is brilliant.  It's hard to leave.

Ahhh... now Sandra's dress is just right! But do all these actresses have hair that long these days or are they extensions?

I love her dress, it is lovely. I am not sure about her hair, her hair is ever so neat and tidy and I'm not sure if she has extentions. It wouldn't surprise me if she had though. Thank you Pam for your company very much appreciated!

David Carradine, Ron Silver, Brittany Murphy, Betsy Blair, Joseph Wiseman, Kathryn Grayson, Roy Disney, Budd Schulberg, Michael Jackson, Natasha Richardson, Jenniffer Jones, Patrick Swayze... to name just a few

Likewise Orchid!

But blimey! They even went through the deaths call fast... too fast and disrespectful in my view.
