And a rather good twist on what women might think is heroic too. I kinda got the mourning for River thing. But using Matt Lucas is a rather clumsy device to provide a narrator for the missing bits of plot, I thought. Still, a nice silly romp!

GordonG Jan 2017 12:15pm, 31 Jan 2017 7,046 posts	0 GordonG some interesting conjecture here... bbc.co.uk Tim Roth? Rory Kinnear? Richard Ayoade? Ben Whishaw? Whatever... but bring back Carey Mulligan, I (always) say...
