Re: A voice from a past time

Can I say this is one of the most fascinating debates I've read on the forums.

I love rereading my favourite children's books because to misquote Shakespeare they summon up the remembrance of things past and take me back to a far happier time.

Re: 70s Famous Five on DVD?

Shame about the blu ray biting the dust, it still may appear in the future, if Koch media sell enough copies in DVD then it's sensible to release the superior blu ray.

Re: Your Top 10 Non-Blyton Children's Books..

Some very impressive lists especially Robert Westall, hugely influential on me as a teenager, especially his supernatural novels a far greater talent than Stephen King.

Re: Favourite Films

I agree with Bill Forsyth especially Housekeeping, it's a criminal shame that few of his films are available in DVD.
