A case of Holywood meddling - does my head in why details like this are messed with but it doesn't change the story and Holywood has been very guilty over the years of gross distortions in historical films.Quote:

This is true, but a little educational thread drift relating to the topic is allowed.Quote:

Judge Judy - it is a great show but I've seen them all before.
'twas only joking.
Kojak, ITV 4 right now - BABY!
Used to be quite a fan when it came out. Doesn't seem to stand up as well as Columbo now. I can watch Columbo over and over and still not get tired of it. Not that keen on the later series, to be honest.
Philosophy now.
Twice is nice.
Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman star in INDISCREET at 13.30 today on film 4. Made in 1958 by Stanley Donen.
Nice touch by the director, when the censors had a problem with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in a scene in bed together, director Stanley Donen shot an overhead split screen sequence showing both stars side by side in bed, but with a clearly visible "border" between them.
Tonight at 2100 it's the last episode of The Curse of Oak Island. They have nearly drained the swamp and think they may have found the vault. No doubt it will all be a big anti-climax since these things almost always are but I'm still quite excited...
DiCaprio is on at 17.20 today film 4 in TITANIC. Not my favourite version but no doubting the effects etc. Good acting too.
