Thanks. But to avoid overwearing my "hee hee's," I will refrain from "hee hee" -ing for the present.

: : : : Too old? I have two words for those who say that: ROGER MOORE.
: : : : While he wasn't my favorite Bond (I prefer Sean Connery, the original), Dalton certainly fits the character's physical descriptions in the Ian Fleming novels. I loved the novels, and even though they are especially irrelevant to this BB in particular, has anyone else enjoyed them? The films are lots of fun, but they are only chopped-up, filled in, and transfigured versions of the books. Some plotlines cross over into other stories. My biggest pet peave is that the first novel, _Casino Royale_, was never made into a film, while _Dr. No_ was. Now, everyone automatically assumes that _Dr. No_ was the first, and so ignore _CR_which is incredibly exciting!).

: : : Kali, "Casino Royale" WAS made into a movie - but after the first or second Bond film. It was made as a spoof of them and starred Peter Sellars and David Niven. I'm not a Bond fan myself, but my husband thinks CR is one of the best ones ever made.

: : If so, it wasn't released in the U.S. Either that, or it wasn't produced by the S/B team and so missed out on the fame of the other films. Either way, it isn't a Bond standard in American eyes. WHen was it made? THe only "unconventional" BOnd film I know of was _On Her Majesty's Secret Service," the first non-Connery which also saw bond married to Diana Rigg. THat was released in 1968.
: : I guess I'll have to go out and do some research!

: Now that you mention Diana Rigg I have to interject. Does anyone out there remember (if you're old enough) the Avengers series about espionage in which she co-starred? I don't know what happened to her after that, but she was so right in that role which was one of the few from that era in which the female lead was actually equal to that of the male. In fact, I thought she was better than the rest of them, and it was one of the few shows for which I ever had any interest or respect. I realize that may not be a fair judgement since I don't watch any shows anymore except the likes of P&P. I would not have even known about it except that I was visiting my mother at the time and we were in need of some entertainment. Normally I do not turn to the TV for that.

: Is there a P&P2 calendar??? I wish there was indeed one!
___________________
One site (Firth FAQ perhaps) indicated a P&P2 calendar and then noted that it was no longer available. I have been looking everywhere for one but so far, no luck. If I find one, you will all be the first to know.

: : : Masts were up, everyone was imbibing starboard while fixating on doggies and plotting polygamy in Australia!
: : : Booking my flight to Australia, Grace

: : The image I get of polygamous Australia is all of us in the pelises someone suggested for the performance of your Henry song, Grace. It is set in a castle like the women's community in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

: : Sort of like the old Robert Palmer video, Addicted to Love??..... With the bevy of spandex-clad beauties in the background?? .....But do pelises come in spandex?
: Grace
: P.S. Can I still do background vocals even though I don't know the Encyclopedia tune?

Mr. Myst. HC didn't seem to like my post about what to wear for our singing! He seemed to imply that a pelisse would not be appropriate (and as you know He is never wrong!) He supplied a link accurately describing the outerwear. Since I was simply trying to be modest in my regard for him by suggesting maidenly garments and did not want to seem trashy like Caroline B. in my enthusiasm *and* it did not seem to please him - I suggest we cast the pelisses overboard, forget the frocks and serenade him in our muffs! (Yes Mr. HC I KNOW what they are!)
I think that the image of all of us singing with muffs is *just* daggy enough for this forum. Maybe we could borrow a few of Caroline and Lousia's hats???
Grace I'll teach you the tune, but yu must try to get a glimpse of Groucho performing the song. It is very funny.

The IGuide states that the only non-spoof version of _CR_ was a CBS made-for-tv movie which aired as one of a continuing series of like stories in 1954. True, the story was adapted to film, but not in the sense I was thinking. An interesting footnote (a la Wishbone P&P), but not part of the cannon.
I have attempted to add the IGuide link to this post.

Gee. I wouldn't exactly refer to myself as a Colinite, but your picture is rather nice, Zimei. Maybe I will go see _The English Patient_ after all!
Firth is beginning to grow on me,
