Looking forward to Tess on Sunday? I am xx

[puddicat]

Hi bathsheba would love to watch but the boy wonder will probably say turn it over, my perchant is crime drama, the type that make you think???, also i work shifts so sometimes i struggle to follow up, by the way silent witness is coming back new edition, dont klow when though, totally love it!!!

[Bathsheba]

Know what you mean puddi, Sgt Troy has the History channel on here mostly. He doesn't mind the occasional costume drama though.

[andy-hughes]

She was on on Saturday! Looking fabulous as usual - thank heavens she never gets voted off!

[Bathsheba]

Sorry Andy, not with you! Who was on what? xx

[brionon]

If I wanted to die of boredom or Misery. Is there another writer more Depressing than Hardy ?

[Bathsheba]

Leonard Cohen, maybe? :-)

[tickledtrout]

Will give it a go, didn't like the film version of it though

[Bathsheba]

The Polanski one, TT? x

[tickledtrout]

Yes I thought it was Polanski. Love the story and other Hardy books, but I didn't enjoy the film at all

[Bathsheba]

I loved the film "Jude" with DCI Billsborough (Christopher Eccleston)! He made me laugh when he said he left Dr Who cos he didn't want to become typecast- too late for that, i thought, tee hee.

Andy means Tess on Strictly Come Dancing I think :c)

As to the other Tess then I'm very much looking forward to it and the return of Bruce of Monday.

[Bathsheba]

Hi China. I've just skimmed the Radio Times, and i so hope you mean Bruce Parry and not Forsythe! xx

[tiggerblue10]

Tess of the D'Urbervilles is one of my fav books and I liked the Polanski film with Natassja Kinski. Actually I enjoy most period dramas. I found Jane Eyre on Vigins TV on Demand the other day. it was great. You can't get any better than Pride & Prejudice though.

[China Doll]

God yes I mean him!

[Bathsheba]

Hiya Tiggs.
Check this out- i loved it xxxhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119079/

[Bathsheba]

Also Ethan Frome- fab! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106833/

Hi Baths,

I've never seen that. Quite like Ralph Feinnes though. I'm hoping to go and see The Duchess at some point. I read the book about her last year. Didn't realise they were going to make a film about her though.

[Bathsheba]

Is that the one with frozen-faced Keira in? x

[tiggerblue10]

Er yes! Lol

I quite like Keira lol

[bensmum]

Just seen this bathsheba! I liked Onegin but haven't seen Ethan Frome.
I must admit I do refer to Thomas Hardy as the Master of Misery as you have to admit there aren't many laughs in his books! I did love Far From the Madding Crowd though (I think Alan Bates and Terence Stamp had a lot to do with that!)
