Yes, one could make a collection of such moments. Apparently Alec Guinness didn't think 'Star Wars' was much good, Douglas Bader never watched 'Reach forthe Sky' and Alfred Cortot never listened to his own records and didn't even own a gramophone.

I often wonder if Richard Attenborough ever watched those 'Jurassic Park' films he made to raise money for the films he really wanted to make.

....I don't know if it is just me....but I tried to watch Henry IV from the Hollow Crown....{they were spot on for Richard II) but were about 90 seconds out for HenryIV, I noticed on both ocassions I tried to get it going, that embedded over the titlespiece was the word "Sorry"....

....Oh how I do hate Tom Huddlestone....

Not only that . Guinness said on Parky that he realised it was a mega hit when they tried to shave a tiny percentage point off his royalties. It made him a multi millionaire.

I like the al pacino version of merchant of venice, brought it alive for me though the best was a performance in london at the globe. The standing tickets are great value.

Yes, you've spotted a problem with my clarity of thought .........................what I refer to above is....I tried to watch Henry IV from Hollow Crown but the subtitles were about 90 seconds out of sinc'....I tried to sort this out but both times I noticed written in subtitles across the HenryIV masthead "Sorry"

That's the first disparaging comment I've seen about Tom. Each to his own opinion, of course, but I thought I'd balance it by saying how much I've enjoyed every performance of his I've seen. One of my favourites is the character of Oakley in Joanna Hogg's film Unrelated. There's a delightful 'blooper' where the principal character (Anna?) realises she's offended Oakley and says 'I'm so sorry, Tom'. No-one seems to have noticed and it was preserved in the DVD. It's one of those moments one looks out for, like the Land Rover in the very last shot of Ice Cold in Alex.
