Yes, not ugly enough and her accent wasn't posh enough

I just watched Joanna again in her Wildlife programme.
She does seem so lovely and genuine. It's actually not far from where I live.
Wildlife theme tonight.
Watching Winter Watch. They saw a Spoonbill with a ring on its leg so they contacted the BTO.
Why they contacted the Bachman Turner Overdrive I don't know.
Rewatching the Battlestar Galactica reboot, which is now over twenty years old. Still great.

COME ON YOU WHITES!
Just watching Minder again. I recognised Gillian Tayleforth - later in 'Stenders but they also credited Kim Tayleforth. Her sister?
Yep her sister was an actress too
They were both in an episode of Operation Goodguys too
I'm watching The Office US all the way through again. My wife never watched it originally and always dismissed it but now she is hooked and we are watching about 4 episodes every night.
Yes, I too fell into the rather snobbish trap of presuming it would be a mere shadow of the original.
Got round to it in the end - superb.
More joyful, in a way, with most of the cynicism and cruelty removed.
I loathed it
Brent may have been a prat - but Michael? He was just an obnoxious prick
Jim was incredibly tedious
Dwight just an annoying twat
All wrong

Do you like anybody?
From Hell. Joanna Page has just been lobotomized.
Brian and Maggie. Excellent, beautifully acted drama. Generally sympathetic to Thatcher in the end, despite the usual griping from the tabloid press.

I was the same. The original is still brilliant but the U.S version is great too in a variety of ways. Steve Carell and Rainn Wilson deserve particular credit for their superb performances. Brent, Gareth, Michael and Dwight are all great characters: all deeply flawed personalities but somehow lovable too.
Heard you the first time, mate.

Sorry for the instant replay! Amended now.
