I can't believe it. My favourite actor in my favourite village and I missed it and didn't even know about it! :cry: :cry:

Must see the film now!

I DO NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!! How could I have missed it as well? Oooh! It's the eyes and the look and stare that does it for me.

I'm not missing this film.

That and a Burnley lad is the star of cricket in Oz.

I knew we were the centre of everything :roll:

Was there nothing in the Burnley Express?
When they filmed Juliet Bravo they just used to turn up, film and go. I can remember big lorries lumbering up Burnley Rd in the early hours, they would be filming up Thursden all day. I used to ride up to the picnic site for a nose but they never seemed to be doing anything--they would have been doing, it just didn't look like it. Traffic wasn't allowed down Badger Lane that day, they were filming on what was the lime hushings across the river.

What a brilliant film! Colin Firth played a really good part. He didn't look as dreamy as when he plays the public schoolboy rolls but he's still got it.

Although the BBC article states that the mill 'has a major role', it featured in 4 or 5 shots but they were very brief shots....no doubt about where they were though :wink:

Unsurprisingly, I was the youngest in our screening and would have been in the previous one :shock:
