Hi Dorothy You are so right - Linus Roache son of William Roache was briefly in Corrie play the young Peter Barlow with his Dad. The new batman is Christian Bale who played the 13yr old Jim in Empire from the Sun in 1988

Hello film fans I see Pat is still going around in circles. Just where is Winter (yes I know the season in NZ is winter), Edinburgh Christine, and others. Anyway here is a brain teaser (?) the second part should be easy peasy. In the latest offering of superheros - Batman Begins - can you name the lead actor and the film he made as a teenager. Also in this film is the son of an actor who appears in which long-running TV series - can you name the son and father and the programme? John in NZ

Me too Louise lol. I really like the original I like Fred and do you remember the Dog, he was lovely. I liked Robin Williams in Mork & Mindy and he is brill in Dead Poets Society but don't think I would like the remake. Remember we used to have some fun on here? the lovely Dorothy G, very nice Eileen on West Coast (think it was West), and of course Brainy John in NZ, crazy Christine half crazy Daisy and lively Lucia, it varied at different times people would pop in but we used to have some fun. Pat x

I'll play tomorrow. I'm off to watch coldplay at glasto. night night xx

The absent minded professor? i've seen the one with fred mcmurry but not one with robin williams

Lou, Walt Disney is your fave aint it? OK 1950's film that has been remade and renamed of late but not nearly as good as the original (what's new?) the orginal starred Fred McMurray the new one Robin Williams? Pat x

Told you it was easy. thought i would hijack Aileen's thread as usual. Fedup of seeing me name lol. You think of a brainy question then. Might tempt john back

LOL I would never have dreamt of doing that Louise, me mate is away at the mo and I was hoping she would come back and start a brand new one for us ok until she re-appear. Its 'North By Northwest' with Cary Grant :-))) Love Hitchcock Pat x

Ok an extremely easy one to start. A hitchcock thriller with a crop sprayer and dangling with a beautiful girl off a monument

Where are you Aileen? We are missing your film threads. Does anyone want to start with a new question?

I am back from dinner. Charlton Heston - Michangelo Rex Harrison - Pope Julius The film title was 'The Agony and The Ectasy' - was quite a memorable film. Time zones are going to be a problem with this quiz due to the various time zones, here its 1.45 pm over there its 2.45 am meaning many will miss the fun we have here. John

Hi I'm here and NOT googling LOL Sorry I don't know this one! Hope your well John , haven't spoken to you in ages. Hi Aileen, your up late! I'm just off in a wee while as i'm up early tomorrow! Christine

Hi John Is it the one that Harrison is the Pope and Charlton Heston is Michelangelo? Can't remember the name of the film. Know its not called Michelangelo. I'll leave it to Christine to 'google' I'm just not that type of gal. She's around somewhere. Aileen

Hello everyone - are you awake? 12 noon here. In light of events in the past hours here is a film to guess. Here is a rather strange clue that should identify the film - Rex Harrision and Diane Cilento view new frescos by an angry painter that are sky high. What is the film - based on a book by Irving Stone? Who is the lead and who did he play? Who did Rex Harrision play?

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner? My husband's suggestion!

Get Carter is the only film I can think of. He's done so many tv things.

John Wayne comes to mind Christopher. Can we have a bit more of a clue please? It's a bit early yet and the brain cells aren't up to full power. Aileen

Morning Sorry had to delete previous message. I've got Gregory Peck on the brain..... thought it was To Kill a Mocking Bird. James Gregory - was it The Naked City? Aileen

Bye John - have a great day.

Catch up with you folk another time - 11 am here and I better go and do something. John
