Brothers & Sisters on Channel Four right now... Blimey, Calista Flockhart's looking a bit surgeried-out

[Aitch]

mind you, i preferred her first nose.

have you got the In The Night Garden ad on here, though? the one where igglepiggle's arm looks like a big cock?

blank space gone, online gaming advert there instead

not a big blue cock in sight...

How old is Calista Flocker? When that good actress that I like talked about her 'little sister' at her birthday dinner I nearly choked. And settling down to start a family - thought she was playing someone much older than 38.

just a second just a second just a second

rob lowe?

que?

have I missed him? where does he fit in?

minty are you lapin or pph?
he's a presidential candidate, cf falls in love with him, press start sniffing around her family... KA-BOOM!

You may call me Araminta

so you are saying I should have watched the second part after big brother?

damn

but thankyou for the explanation!

hi rabbit. it's on now. rl hasn't shown up yet.

and can I say as almost certainly the only mumsnetter who watched a fabulous movie called "Oxford Blues" in... oooooh... 1984?.. that me and Rob go Way Back

lol, i loved that film.

you could have gone either way

but I'm afraid it's heads (wearing the crown) and not tails (white and bunnylike)

Did you see it?!
I saw it in Canada one holidays, came back to school saying "you MUST see this movie when it comes out here"... and it never came out here. Well not as far as I know, I waited for a bloody year or so and it never surfaced.
Straight to betamax I think

it's been on telly a few times. mid-afternoon jobs, but still. i just remember the sweaters worn round necks and the thrilling finale. the english are such snawbs, aren't they?

god I can't remember the finale, I only saw it that once. and that was (shit!) 23 years ago....

CHRIST I'm old

Why does Rob Lowe look exactly the same 23 years later and I, at 38, look absolutely nothing like my 15 yr old self? Sob

they won.

there it is, igglepiggle's cock arm! can you see it?

oh THAT finale. yes I remember that, and soaring music, and lovely shots of dreaming spires...

no, just an insurance advert. I'll look out for it though! (which one is igglepiggle?)

oooh! I saw it!
Looks at its worst before the writing goes over it

eurgh!

I really enjoyed it and it will take the place of Ugly Betty for the time being.

I knew Tom Skerrit (Dad) was going to die because it said he was a special guest as the credits went up so I knew he would only last for one episode!!

Calista does look weird and is playing Ally McBeal IMHO!

Sally Field is FAB.

I knew I recognised Rachel Griffith but couldnt think where from...Muriel's Wedding! I do think she has a lovely face.

yes that's what i meant, pph, it looks like the beginning of an erectile dysfunction ad, then the writing appears and hey bingo it's a kids' toy.

Fantastic I am hooked.Reminds me of a modern Dallas.Love the sons they are all gorgeous but rachel griffith is my fave.

Aitch - thanks for the links.

Very scary lady. (Calista, not you, obv)

oooh hoped there was a thread on this.

My my this programme has totty in it!

Loved the rebellious guy and also the gay lawyer.

Factoid Matthew Rhys who plays the gay lawyer is actually Matthew Rhys Evans but used his middle name as his surname (prob for equity reasons). He is from South Wales and used to play junior ice hockey for the Cardiff Devils. Oh only, if only he still played and I could fantasise about him as an ice hockey player. He's dreamy!

another factoid: did you see the first ep of B&S was directed by Ken Olin, who was Michael in thirtysomething?
His wife is Patricia Wettig, who plays the blond mistress, and who was Nancy in 30something
I am proud of myself for putting this together, as like others ont his thread I was unable to follow the plot bcs of CF's New Look. It's going to be a major problem, getting past that and her extreme annoyingness.
(HP did you get suit yet)

lovely detective work bakedpotato

is matthew rhys tall, hockeypuck? i'd always thought he was a shortie but looked tall last night.
