Goodnight Mr Tom

[lottiejenkins]

Im watching it yet again. It is so good i dont think i will ever get bored watching it. It makes me sad though that John Thaw is no longer alive. He was such an amazing actor. I cant believe it is twelve years old.

I'm watching it with ds(9)

i didn't know John Thaw had died .

He died in 2002!

Oh no!

tears in my eyes already and we're only half way through!

He was so lovely in it wasn't he. I'd read the book long before it was on TV and he was just perfect in the role. Fab story.

If i remember correctly it was filmed in the same village as The Vicar of Dibley.

I'm watching it too.Poor Zach.

I haven't seen Buried Treasure before. I hope it's half as good as Mr Tom.

Buried Treasure made me sob and sob and sob!

I'd best bring out the family sized Kleenex box then.

I first saw it the year after my dh died. That might explain why i was crying!!

I'm sorry Lottie.Little wonder it made you cry then.

It was on ITV 3.

It's also available on Youtube .

You're welcome.

Did you need the tissues LTBR????

Several One or two were used.

I love this so much, can't believe I missed it :(

That bit where he finds him and the dead baby girl in the loacked cupboard

I adored the book, it's one on my list to read with DD when she's a bit older along with Carrie's War.

Oh, I love the book, I've never seen the film. Is the quality on youtube any good?

My lovely primary school teacher read this to us (doing all the accents, he was great), and I always hear it in his voice. He died a few years back, and he wasn't very old.

It's quite good.Certainly good enough to watch the entire thing on.

Great, thanks very much LTBR. Nothing worse than starting to watch and finding it goes out of sych as soon as you start getting weepy!

I watched it on Youtube a few months ago,and I'm sure that was the version that I watched. Apologies if there's any problems, but it seems fine so far. I've watched the first two parts.l

I love Goodnight Mr Tom. I think we read it at school - I certainly read it years before the film was made. Both film and book always have me in floods. DOn't even get me started on "Shadowlands"...

This is the first time i have had a thread pop up on the right hand side in Discussions of the Day!!!

The book is one of my favourites. DS1 had it read to him in yr6 and he gave me a daily installment so that I had to read it.
