Simon Callow was the bloke in Four Weddings who died of a heart attack while dancing wearing a kilt. John Hannah read "Stop The Clocks" at the funeral scene afterwards.

Now that was one VERY over-rated film. My ex-girlfriend was banging on about it. Bored me shitless. That and Full Monty, another load of bollocks hyped up by the media

Guess they were trying to talk up the British Film Industry which has struggled for years.

Big block busters are made over here by the US, but the BFI can't match them moneywise.

Remember Colin Welland saying "The Brit's are coming" after Chariots of Fire" won at the oscars. Guess the American's are still waiting for us!

Dream On was very good - and did indeed feature much naughtiness - remember when the Aussie publisher got them all to play Strip Poker - got in on video somewhere, well worth watching! 'You are the devil....' LOL
