Guest Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 This is probably going to be one of those posts where no one has a clue what I'm on about and just dismisses it as another grd meandering... Anyone remember "One Summer" - a Channel 4 drama series from 1983? Some of you girls must remember David Morrissey and Spencer Leigh! Billy, Icky, Kidder.... ? It's coming out on DVD on 23rd January. http://one-summer.tv83.net/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Whoops! Sorry for spoiling the ending ! It is still worth watching - a really top piece of drama this has got me all nostalgic - does anyone else remember "Another Country" with the divine Rupert Everett & Colin Firth (I think ) I would love to see that again too.

That is always my argument when someone tells me I have to see Titanic Why bother doesn't the boat sink As Albert Camus says in the book "The Myth of Sisyphus", where Sisyphus pushes a boulder a mountain only to have it continually fall to the bottom, it's not getting to the top that matters, it's the pushing that counts. A poor analogy, I know. But although you know the end of the story, it doesn't necessarily nullify the content. (Now this IS meandering.... ! No yawning at the back please!)

The Dogmother Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 It never fails to amaze me how shallow men can be! At least we know where their weaknesses are and can exploit them Graham - do you mean that it's the journey that matters? Or was that the unabridged version for our benefit?
