I did. Directed by David Lean, great acting all the way around (including by Charles Laughton and John Mills). Also "The Browning Version" if you haven't seen that. We stumbled on an Alec Guinness comedy called "The Card" (I think) with Glynnis Johns... You can search their names too, of course. All great for Anglophiles. I hope you are well.

I don't know any of the series you mention here, but it is fun to find out something like this from TV.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-14962687164384662732014-09-07T14:51:53.619-04:002014-09-07T14:51:53.619-04:00Fascinated by the "on the wagon" story. ...Fascinated by the "on the wagon" story. I love learning the origins of words and phrases. Another tidbit for me to astound and amaze someone with! Good to see the pictures of the grandkids since I haven't been able to follow my friends' blogs for quite a while. Hope to keep up now that I'm feeling much better. Dave and I have switched roles. He used to be up early and happy to begin his day while I was a slugabed grumpy soul. Now I'm up early in the quiet house and he sleeps later and later because he can't work and knows he will mostly be watching TV all day. Sad but his Parkinson's has taken his enthusiasm for life.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179027379034179865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-90037829920402240392014-09-07T11:00:47.503-04:002014-09-07T11:00:47.503-04:00Must find out what Tunnel Bear is ????

I love the British shows... though so often they start to late for me to stay awake! :((( We have to get up at 4:30 a.m. to make it all flow each morning, and get me to work on time... By the time my favorite shows start, I'm slipping over sideways, and falling asleep with a sip of tea in my mouth still.... (can you drown in your sleep?) <br />May I ask who provides your Internet up there? (i like to plan ahead, in case I get to stay up there longer than a few days)> I am looking forward to your next selection of things you learned from t.v. ~ but please don't stop reviewing book occasionally too! :)))0 Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229439546427952540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-90445646581670188772014-09-07T09:36:10.070-04:002014-09-07T09:36:10.070-04:00I haven't heard of Tunnel Bear and will check ...I haven't heard of Tunnel Bear and will check it out. The picture of the television brought back memories. My dad used to fix televisions in his spare time and we often had the wooden cases left over so my sister and I made curtains to go in the front and used them as bedside tables.<br />AnnAnn Summervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300190648788509096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-79220367996515915242014-09-06T16:13:02.269-04:002014-09-06T16:13:02.269-04:00Jim and I are the same way, Nan--although lately, ...Jim and I are the same way, Nan--although lately, I find I need a little more sleep/energy to keep up with a certain little boy who seems to have an endless supply of energy. I love Acorn TV and am currently watching Vera and then will start with Episode 1 of the Inspector Morse series. Off to check out TunnelBear!Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456358514871810611noreply@blogger.com
