The Cornerhouse in Manchester has whittled The Darkness Over Britain down. It was a double bill of TV stuff. The Incredible Robert Baldick, a Terry Nation pilot for serial that never happened. It was part of the TV Playhouse. A sort of early Victorian psychic detective, Robert Hardy played the lead and he was not the one over acting the most, very ripe at times. The other was Blink, from last years Dr. Who. It looked good on the big screen, but I thought lost some of it's impact. Excellent tale.

Then went to the Plaza in Stockport, £6 for a double bill of horror. The Ghoul, it was the TYburn version from the 70's (They're playing the wrong Ghoul went the cry.) A stately horror film, It looks good but I wish more was going on. We never really engaged with the characters. the second was hammer's Hound of the Baskervilles. A better film, and it looked great.

Plus they had the organ there.



As you can see it also changes colour.




It's a lovely building and Paul H. thought the building was great too as did The Worrier.




Ok here are a few pics from the Festival of Fantastic Films.#



here is all the fun of the Festival, Mr. Higson just can't take any more. The Worrier is such I charmer, you can see why I married her.




As you can see Sheila Keith is eying up Darrell's Monster Munch (They are vegetarian even though are beef flavour.), the T-shirt was not shiney but you can't hide an old thesp. that easily. The Monster Munch were a birthday present.

By the way The Worrier was sacked after the bus crash, but the case has gone to appeal. We wait for next Thursday.

On that HM Customs job I went for, I gotr an e-mail saying I'd past the test and was on the Merit list for 12 months, so if any jobs come up, I may have a chance. Nothing moves slower than the government.

Moo.
