Come on then! Own up! Who admits to watching The Railway Children for the 349th time. Who can't resist seeing Jenny Agutter running down the platform screaming "Daddy! My Daddy!".

Not me. However I was really peeved to see that My Fair Lady was on and I didn't have time to watch it!

.... All I want is a room somewhere,
Far away from the cold night air.
With one enormous chair,
Aow, wouldn't it be loverly?
Lots of choc'lates for me to eat,
Lots of coal makin' lots of 'eat.
Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet,
Aow, wouldn't it be loverly?
Aow, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still.
I would never budge 'till spring
Crept over me windowsill.
Someone's 'ead restin' on my knee,
Warm an' tender as 'e can be.
'ho takes good care of me,
Aow, wouldn't it be loverly?
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly

That is a song that makes me so thankful for the roof over my head.

I love that song. I used to sing it to my kids at bed time when they were little... with full Eliza pronunciation.

However I never managed to look as georgous as the lovely Audrey Hepburn

The Railway Children always left me cold I'm afraid.

For some reason my husband is also very keen on watching that film. Or indeed anything with Jenny Agutter in it!

Has he seen Walkabout?

I hate the Railway children. Cos it's the only film I can recall with Jenny Agutter not getting her kit off. I noticed they editted Walkabout when it was on recently. All the good bits were chopped, they must have known I was watching!

Didn't you like The Railway Children when you were young or have you always been a pervert?

« **Reply #14 on:** December 30, 2006, 09:23:10 am »

I'm not a pervert (she was 18 at the time) I'm just honest. No, if I can be serious for a minute - it is a good film although I do find Bernard Cribbin's character really irritating. The part where they prevent the train crash with the red hanky is still powerful and is maybe the highlight of a film, which is essentially a series of set pieces.

Back to the children, while Jenny Agutter remained attractive and refined in adulthood, the prettier kid Sally Thomsett (19 at the time) went a bit ropey in later life, bless her.
