I can't stand them - my Mum does love them though. It's just a matter of taste. I love the Terminator fils, the long Kiss, The postman and the Aliens, so it's just style jnot gore really that bothers me.

I don't mind violence or gore if it's vital for the plot, but I really dislike gratuitous bloodletting. I absolutely detest the "slasher" movies.

I've never bothered to watch those either.

Let's hope Darius has the good sense never to do one of those.

Yes, he's only allowed films we'd like. Do you think he's listen?

I think its like comfort food - some of the old films are somehow nostalgic, Camelot was on today - I recall seeing it at the cinema as a child when it first came out. Daughter laughed at it, and was incredulous when I recalled loving Richard Harris as Auther...

I like a good action film, but cant resist the old musicals on a dreary day, snuggled up with a hot drink, Danny Kaye, Bing and Bob Hope..LOL..all watched as a child and feel good stuff. The films my girls watch make my blood run cold..LOL not that I am squeamish, but honestly..Saw and other blood and guts isnt afternoon comfort viewing, they dont like anything thats not gore or horror, cheese they call it all.

It's got to have a story that holds my attention as well as gore and, some of my faves have been really cheesy. It just depends on the film. I'm really not keen on most of the really old ones. I could never just sit down and watch the film or 'Gone With The Wind'

I liked (and still like) the Burt Lancaster films, the Crimson Pirate and the circus one with Gina Lollobrigia(?) and the trapeze training.

The films I don't like are the modern sci-fis, like Star Wars.

I like the old Star Wars but only watched the first of the new lot. Cute kids lose me every time.

Songs of praise in l5 mins with aled jones is exploring musical theatre and they have the two runners up from joseph on ,Keith jack from glasgow and craig chalmbers. Chalmbers played joseph on tour but has weak voice, keith jack, however has a good voice nd is very young and is from glasgow.Useless information I know but hey its quiet.

I looked at that - I know Darius wasn't going to be on but I just had to check. The vids from that are on youtube now.

I enjoyed it but noticed craig chalmbers who I said had a weak voice didnt sing. However there wasa a fantastic performance from Steve balsamo who sang Gethsemane from Jesus christ super star, apparently he originally appeared as the lead in that show but he was brilliant and I had seen on WOS that he was the best - he put his all into it and had tears running down his face at the end.A difficult song with a lot of range including a lot of falsetto.

It real;ly is a programme that'd have to have D on for me to watch

ditto. Not a programme I enjoy watching. The things I do for Darius, lol. At least no one spotted me hiding behind my hymn book.

 

But we told everyone you were there. From what the camera showed, the stage looked so small from the top.

The stage was tiny from where we were sitting. Could hardly see Darius but heard him and it sounded wonderful.

This is 1 programme that if Darius isn't on it.......its a definatly NO NO for me too!!

My Mum watched it and loved it. We have a Tv in the lioungs/diner and in the front room so that there's at least two choices.

I think even a further dose of Songs of Praise, provided D was in it, would be preferable to this dearth of news.

Who was it said ''no news is good news'. No way !!!!!!

Well, some news would be worse
