Hi April, how are you Did the test and while I agree with what it said I liked, I wasn't to keen on the movies they picked with the exception of Meet The Parents and When Harry Met Sally, which said I would be 90% interested in. Even then of that genre I'd prefer films like The Kid, Mr.Smith Goes To...

Hi Markfp

I don't knowif this clip will transfer to America.Here goes. It's a bit different to Sarah Lancashire's role of a bisexaul Headmistress in Last tango in Halifax. You may spot Downton Abbey actress, also looking different

Personally though Fuller wasn't much older tha Landon, I think he'd be to mature to play the young little Joe. Though to be fair to Michael Landon I thought in the latter Bonanza's Joe tu...

I get the impression that the tv western Laramie, historically isn't as highly thought of as other great shows like Wagon Train, Bonanza and The High Chapperal.

Spoiler I've just watched the first episode Of The Happy Valley, a cop thriller set in a rural part of Yorkshire. It stars the brilliant Sarah Lanashire as a tough, but stressed out uniformed Sargeant in charge of policing her local community. Though Ms. Lancashire isn't known in America, at least y...

Sad to report that despite several storylines in the pipeline, this great series has been cancelled due to poor ratings

Spoiler Hopefully The Crimson Field will reach America at some point, but the first episode aired in the UK on Sunday night. If you liked Call The Midwife chances are you'll enjoy this. It's about a group of nurses serving in a medical unit near the front line in World War One. The big names involve...

I don't know if this will travel to America, but I thought I'd try and share this gem of a clip with you. It's from the Sports Relief Charity show where Kylie Monogue sings her old it Especailly For You,that she originally sang with Jason Donavan. It's played for laughs, but it gets better as it goe...
