Another classic Look! We're not worried about the German army, we've got enough troubles of our own. To the right General Patton, to the left the British Army, to the rear our own goddamn artillery, and besides all that it's raining. And the only good thing to say about the weather: it keeps our air corps from blowing us all to Hell because its too lousy to fly, versteh?

Have seen this a couple of times and thought it was quite funny. Derek channeling a monkey was one of the funniest things shown on TV. Yvette screaming because she had seen a hideous apparition which turned out to be a mirror was also another highlight.

Try this then

How about this Tales from Shakespeare A good introduction to some of the plays

Megamovers

Guns of Navarone?

Now that GMF has died will this ever happen? Of course what faith can you put in wikipedia rumours?

Might I suggest The Gruffalo and other books written by Julia Donaldson http://www.juliadonaldson.co.uk/

Off the top of my head I would say Sherlock Holmes Edward - the Anita Blake books Death - The discworld Harry Dresden - The Dresden Files and finally because my kids love it so much I have to read it so often The Mouse - The Gruffalo

I think you are amongst friends here. I just love the smell of a second hand bookshop, all those old books.
