That's reminded me Keeley Hawes was brilliant in the BBC adaptation of Macbeth set in a restaurant 8/9 or so years ago, I remember watching it at school! Did anyone see that?

Agreed

Hi NDD

What is Life on Mars about (I'm guessing people on Mars but I mean the storyline?)

I'll read the thread afterwards, I don't really have anything to add to it (I sound like such a buzzkill!)

Besides, I have a wedding to plan...

The one where that guy wanted to be Head Chef or something?

I'm meant to be going to sleep but I can NEVER resist a Corrie quiz ...

Marshall Lancaster (Slug in Corrie, Chris in LOM)
Joanne Froggatt (Zoe Tattersall in Corrie, Sam's mum in LOM)
Katherine Kelly (Becky in Corrie, the avon woman in LOM)

Can't think of the other two ...

EDIT: was Georgia Taylor in it? Can't think of the character but I can vaguely remember her being a bit tarty? Maybe she was the Avon girl and Kat Kelly was someone else ...?

Yep, the one with James Macavoy in it.

I don't remember watching it but I did Macbeth in GCSE English and we spoke about that version.

I did It for GCSE too.

I did of mice and men, and Romeo and Juliet.

For us it was Macbeth and something else for the controlled assessment and Of Mice & Men & Animal Farm for the lit exam.

I did Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet.

We watched the Leonardo Di Caprio film of ROJ and everyone in my class was a bit freaked out that 13 year olds were having sex.

(It was also a bit of a shit film IMO )

We did The Woman In Black as well.

Yes the Leonardo DI Caprio film was funny, they tried to make it modern. But the thing was they had a gun with the word "Sword" write on it.

Ooh you've got another one!!
Completely forgot Marshall Lancaster was in Corrie!!

You are right about Georgia Taylor, also Ian Puleston Davies (Owen) & an early appearance (albeit very brief as a murdered young girl) by Georgia May Foote I believe!!

I've forgotten what parts GT, KK & IPD played in Life on Mars to be honest!!

The ending to Of Mice and Men was so sad

It was, poor Lennie

R.I.P Lennie

Anyone going to be watching any of the olympics?

Yep lots of it

Yeah but they didn't translate from Old to New English so they were talking gibberish the entire film.

Volleyball

Nah I don't do sport. I got told off by a friend for not watching the Euros.

It may be bad but I really wanted England to go out quickly - less reason for people to try to force me to watch / care that way

Filth

True it was a mess
