Of course, the Twigster may be looking in from Gay Paree. A bookmark sounds a spiffing idea.

I reckon that they must have had Marian standing on a box when he kissed her...doesn't seem feasible otherwise. Have you read / heard that comment from her (in a RH commentary) when she said that kissing RA was the highlight of the series for her (or something like that)....

Thanks

I hadn't heard that comment, Phoenix, but obviously Lucy has a bit more sense than Marian Grin

Twiglets duly bookmarked,I just hope no one else wants to use mycomputer in the meantime Shock

Daniela Thingummy said something similar about having to reshoot the final scenes of N&S. I think he must have bribed them, given that there must have been a whiff of L'Air du Benson and Hedges at the time.

Not unlike Daniela DA's comment in the N & S vid about spending all day kissing then having to go back and do it again being a real chore - said with tongue firmly in cheek.

Massive, I blame my affinity with covert ops as much on an early love of Dempsey & Makepeace as on Spooks Grin!

Maybe DDA was a smoker too at the time. Who knows?

Seriously Maud, there is such a thing as Extra Strong Mints ( I should know - it took 2 packets of them to stave off my hangover at the weekend) .

Please don't get me thinking about da Man & Cuban cigars at the same time, I've been sooooo restrained today Confused

Exactly, Massive. Who knows? And who cares, really? It's only, like, acting, innit?

I used to devour Tom Clancy novels, all the spy lore fascinated me, dead drops, safe houses, how to lose a tail etc etc...

When I went to Berlin, I went to the Glienicker Brucke just to see where all the spy handovers in John le Carre novels had happened. ::spy nerd::

Maud's recommendation. Easy Virtue looks good, and given the subject matter may ne able to pick up some useful tips. Have wanted to see s Single Man for ages so got both. Cheers Maud!

I went to the Glienicker Brucke

Was it all you'd imagined, Maud, all atmospheric, seedy and melancholic, with appropriate music playing in the background?

As the bard has it, that which we call a nose...

Such a distinct and unmistakeable profile though,

As I mentioned before, Spiro, I was blown away by A Single Man. I promise you it'll be worth it.

Massive - I went to Berlin just a couple of weeks before reunification so it was a highly-charged atmosphere anyway. I don't have very clear memories of the Glienicker Brucke so must dig out some of my old photos for nostalgia's sake.

That is a very good profile, isn't it? Very sculptural.

I saw A Single Man about a year ago - it's very good and I thought his performance in that was stronger than in The King's Speech... but Jeff Bridges was excellent last year too, can't remember what the movie was called though (was it Crazy Heart?)
