I am really enjoying this BUT that wasn't a pie that Mr Slater cooked it was a pudding! You don't boil pies!

It is a fabulous song, written by Jacques Brel, and sung by Dusty Springfield

I didn't know but wondered when he was looking at the gardner. Mind you, so was I!

Don't be a food snob! Nothing wrong with an occasional Fray Bentos!

Why does the child Nigel speak like that when his Dad is Scottish and everyone else in this child's life has what I presume is a Wolves accent?
Weird.

[Deleted User] · 30/12/10 - 22:02

I want Helena Bonham-Carter to adopt me !

[Deleted User] · 30/12/10 - 22:02

What is she sticking in her cakes? Viagra???? Never seen anything rise so much!

Me too hehe! I googled Nigel slater gay....and quickly found out he is. now i know, its quite obvious.

I'm loving this film, beautifully written and acted. Thought the kid from Charlie and the chocolate factory was in it?

Lushness · 30/12/10 - 22:05

This is not something to watch when you feel hungry!

Espresso · 30/12/10 - 22:07

I love Dusty Springfield.

If that's a question then yes, he's in it but he's 18 or something now :eek:

I only came on to see what people thought of this, I've recorded this and look forward to watching it.

[Deleted User] · 30/12/10 - 22:09

Another Dusty classic.

bitchboyblue · 30/12/10 - 22:09

God...THAT'S the kid from Charlie and the chocolate factory!
