That awesome moment when...

[dweomeroflight]

You follow a Spooks link to a website on the new eight part tv series entitled World Without End because Peter Firth has been cast in it and discover Miranda Richardson's gorgeous face on your screen and then get excited because this lovely lady hasn't been in anything substantial in like forever (and yes I am aware of Made in Dagenham) and frankly is far, far more exciting a cast edition than Peter Firth... after all who could ever forget Queen Mab in Merlin or the chillingly cold mother in Wah Wah or the stepmother in Sleepy Hollow or Manda scarring me for life as a kid in Chicken Run or THREE PARTS AT ONCE IN SPIDER. THREE. MIRANDA RICHARDSON SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN OSCAR THAT YEAR I TELL YOU.




Also, when you remember Helena Bonham Carter has been cast in Great Expectatons as Ms Havisham and might even be up for the Tom Hooper movie version of Les Miserables as Madame Thernadier. Life doesn't get any better...

Give me a break Nia... I'm speed updating here... typos will happen ;)

She was the voice of the farmers wive and really scared me!

I need to rewatch this film. I remember being absolutely terrified by it when I was younger, especially the bit in the pie machine, but I've not seen it for zonks. That's in spite of it being shown on tv every Christmas... (Why, I don't know - it's not even a Christman film!)

*thanks for not pointing out that I wrote wive instead of wife lol* Must be way more tired than I feel.

The pie machine was so horrid and how the wife pulled on her gloves and looked all menacing *shudders* DAMN YOU AARDMAN. DAMN YOU. BUT YAY FOR WALLACE AND GROMIT.

I didn't notice that one anyway. Must be true that staring at a computer screen for too long messes with your head...

I agree with the sentiments expressed. Exactly so.

One of my favourite moments in anything relating to tv ever is that robot creature skiing on the moon in wonder as the wallace and gromit theme rolls. Great moment.

I should specify I am talking about the moon one. Big Day Out or something?
