Watched most of it, actually the first time I've seen more than a few minutes of the film, although I knew the story and the cast already. Thought it was great!

Dan_emma I moved from the UK to the US a few years ago, and this film used to be a bank holiday or sunday special and I was feeling home sick and popped it on, how funny to know only yesterday Channel 5 was showing it.

Disappointing.

Saw the title and was all set to tune in but it turns out this thread is over eight years old...
