Does your interest ever perk up when you are watching a film or a TV programme and suddenly your favourite actor or actress comes on?

[MySilverSoul]

Happens to me quite a lot. But it sometimes sadly has the disadvantage of forgetting what just happened.

[Hopkirk]

It would, if only Kelly Brook would appear in more progammes.

[Baldric]

Can't say that it does, no.

[Halifaxmum]

Yes! When I see Gerry Butler in anything!

[MySilverSoul]

It's quite typical, they often put the hotties in them. It's also quite often the reason I go to see certain programmes or films.

[ChillDoubt]

Not really. As I invariably tend to know if it's one of my favourites that's involved I'm generally perky from the first scene.

[MySilverSoul]

That counts too. It's linked to if you see something that has someone you like in it.

A few years ago we'd been in the USA and OH had dragged us round loads of Civil War battlefields, to give you some idea of how interested we were, I didn't realise til then that the Civil war and War of Independence were two different scraps! On getting home, he'd recorded North and South 2 and he sat down to watch it. As the titles came on the girls saw Patrick Sawyze and suddenly they became Civil War junkies. A lesson there for History teaching maybe?

[MySilverSoul]

It's probably why when I go to see Les Mis next year I'll learn a lot because Hugh Jackman's in it.
