YoungWillz 21,262 Posted Saturday at 12:43 Bloody hell,* We Remember pushed back to mid-afternoon tomorrow. Admittedly, the Magdeberg Christmas Market story has wiped out most alternative programming. Hold your loved ones close this season. Assuming you have loved ones, I don't wish to be presumptious!

Thought it was fairly well knitted together. Alain Delon getting a passing picture surprised me. That scene from Coco always gets me in the heart and the salty tears really came on. RIP to all. And well done Beeb. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,564 Posted Sunday at 16:51 William Russell better get a lovely send off in that 2 hour Memorial documentary BBC are showing before the end of the year or else I'll... sigh and be disappointed, I guess. Actually, Ulitzer's list above lacks Edna O'Brien who is getting a segment in next weeks thing so maybe some were left off because of that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
