Just back from disappointing Funny Peculiar at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh. Despite good cast and performances from the leads just did not hold together. Like a very poor Carry on film or Brian Rix Farce. Folks next to us left. But hey, did not p*y for it, so that was something.

Had a great pre theatre chat with Biggins so good evening!!

Now off to look for some competitions to enter :D

If it was one of your favourite films then I definitely dodged a bullet. Your and my film tastes are usually worlds apart. :cool:

I just think the script for Hay Fever is so dated, I found no humour in it at all. I can't deny that the accident was decent from the older members of the cast, the two children were annoying and overacting.

Also, why was the second half longer than the first half? :blink:

it was a 3 acts play, with a short 3rd act; I guess this was the only way to do it :confused:
