My mate was in Black Books. He played Manny's dad.

How cool Bouncy! I loved Black Books.

Sic degrees of seperation Bouncy? (Rubs Bouncy's raincoat)

 

[Bouncy Castle]

You mean Bunny, from Porridge!

Didn't he play Hans Geering in the first seasons of 'Allo 'Allo too?

Yup. That's him. He's an absolute sweetheart in real life. Believe it or not, I met him on an internet forum!!

Hadn't a clue who he was until a discussion about an actor from The Bill was going on, and he PM'd me that he'd met that actor and he was a very nice bloke.

I asked "ooh, are you an actor then?" and he replied with his IMDb link.

I've met him 2 or 3 times. He was in a play in London with Dame Eileen Atkins (amongst others!) and got me and a friend some comp tickets to go and see the play, then we went for a drink afterwards.

[Who's Wee Dug]

It's not Clop, it's 'Tler.

If anyone is interested, I have the 2 seasons of Dead Like Me and the wrap-up movie on DVD.

Aaaah, so it's a series! Already had such a series-feeling about it

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Yup.

Sam Kelly was great in Allo Allo

That is everyone's favourite. It was Christmas episode.

I love Allo Alloo. I have all the series. I love the way everyone has a pop taken at them regardless!

Sjoerd, I thought Europe wasn;lt too happy about A'A' cos of the Nazi salutes and general Germanic tinges to the story, namely the German occupation of France...

 

[The Mad Collector]

I think everywhere but Germany liked it

The French version has the policeman speaking French with the same accent as Edward Heath used, which the French always found funny anyway

We loved it in the Netherlands

 

[meerkat]

I'm glad 'most ' of Europe liked it. Cos it is a gem!

Occasionally they repeat it at lunchtime on Sundays and then stop it for no reason whatsoever! :x

I always felt that Allo, Allo was based on Secret Army.

Is that the one where the...

kind of spoiler alert but just in case:

girl dies from a toilet landing on her head?

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Yup.

 

[michelanCello]

Watched Rio and Micmacs à tire-larigot yesterday, both great! If you liked Amélie, you'll love Micmacs too - same feeling

 

[DaveC]

I really want to see MicMacs. Heard it was great but missed it in cinema last year. Not seen Rio either, was it good?

 

[michelanCello]

I really enjoyed Rio, but maybe you shouldn't ask me as I'm a huge fan of animation movies on the whole, plus I can't be objective about a movie about parrots having two of them as pets myself
