Great Masterchef final. I always thought Lawrence would win but I had a soft spot for Matthew. Then he didn't make the final. After that we watched "The Long Song", thought it was very good. A story about slaves in Jamaica.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I've reached a point where I can't cope with any more tales of slavery and other forms of man's cruelty to mankind or other creatures so we're not watching the Long Song.
Have just watched the Masterchef final which was recorded as we have dance class on Thursdays. Enjoyed it and rather hoped the Lancashire lad would win Much preferred him to cocky Laurence. We liked Mathew too. Great future ahead of those 4.
We have watched the first of The Drummer Girl and enjoyed it. So far, they haven't mucked about with the original plot too much like they they did with the Night Manager which also had completely the wrong actor cast for the main character. Much muttering about bloody script writers during that series!

I haven't contributed to this thread before, but I thought, as there's so much doom and gloom around in the news, I'd mention that the two, recently discovered and previously unseen, episodes of Morecambe and Wise are being shown on BBC2 on Boxing Day from 7.50 pm, following the classic 1971 episode with the wonderful Andre Previn, or Andrew Preview, as he is often known Never fails to make me laugh

"I'm playing all the right notes....but not necessarily in the right order". Like you Fairygirl, l must have seen it hundreds of times and know what's coming, but yes, makes me laugh every time.
I'm a great fan of Mr Preview, Anni, and I watched a lovely documentary about him where he said that , even now, when he gets in taxis, the drivers address him as Mr Preview I recently updated my vinyl copy of his recording of Gershwin's # An American in Paris/Rhapsody in Blue to CD, so that I can still play it. He's a highly gifted jazz pianist as well as classical - a rare beast.
