Tough. This one I merely put on to kill some time today as I got up too early on me day off.
More fool demon. Was in floods of tears at one point ahem.
Yes, there's more to this than I'm letting on ahem.

Hettie Macdonald directed three episodes of Doctor Who.

One of them was Blink.

I see Linda Bassett is in it playing a character called Queenie. Her character in the excellent Larkrise to Candleford was also called Queenie. How's that for some useless info you never needed to know, D.

This film sounds really good to be honest. Reminds of a UK version of Lynch's Straight Story.
