This is rather nice

Lovely link thank you bellsisabelle we enjoyed that.

Quite an eclectic mix - so interesting, from actors to sports stars, professors and explorers to chess grandmaster - and more!

I think it must be Michael Mansfield QC
the old guy with dandruff on his collar

Even Boris was in there too aka Alistair McGowan.

It is very good. They read it so well. Recognise the vic. (#RichardColes)

Who was the old guy with dandruff on his collar?

Yes. I am very out of touch these days.

very nice, and a lot of them were proper celebrities that even I could recognise

How beautiful, thank you. One of my favourite stories. I have a Hans Christian Fairy Tales book from when I was little and will read The Snow Queen before watching Frozen as it is supposed to be based on the story.

I love The Night before Christmas - could never read it to my children and grandchildren without a sentimental tear falling.

That's lovely, thankyou!

I did recognise quite a lot of them although am not good at remembering names these days!

Ah - well - I recognised 2 of the "celebrities"!

Got the sound track as usual but no pictures moving or otherwise! I'll get it on my phone.

I love Brian Blessed wringing every ounce of drama out of his bit.

Aaaaah. I thought I was the only one who had clicked on the link for a moment.

I didn't know half of them either. Two of them were sitting in front of windows that showed it was being filmed in the middle of summer

Whoever they were.

Yeah merlot. The Night Before Christmas, with a load of celebs reading it. (Not that I recognise 'alf of 'em )

Thank you!

Sorry I didn't press the 'here' I thought you were discussing gransnet. I was up very early

Ah that was very nice

I'm confused. Are we talking about The Night Before Christmas?

Guilty secret bellsisabelle don't tell

A couple of hours? At this time of the year?!!! Best not.

I know it's a good place to off load. Share a problem, share tips have a cheeky grin and waste a couple of hours.
