WyattSheepMask 2,768 Report post Posted July 31 Was just posting that myself when the ‘new reply posted’ notification came up. Midnight Express is a mad film when you delve into the backstory behind, but also a great piece of work. Didn’t realise that he hadn’t directed in so long Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devon Malcolm 11,459 Report post Posted July 31 Wasn't a massive fan but The Commitments and Midnight Express are both really enjoyable. All those musicals though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frankie Crisp 4,456 Report post Posted Monday at 08:53 PM Tony Morris - familiar face of Northwest news for nearly two decades - died of kidney cancer at the weekend. Tonight’s show was dedicated to him and completely wrote me off. It was heartbreaking but also raised a load of smiles; no idea how Lucy Meacock held it together for almost the entire broadcast.
