Awful. Lord knows how much it must have cost, but just awful. I gave up in despair after five minutes...Originally posted by Caliban View Post... having abandoned the truly dire and woeful Dickens spoof on BBC tv: entirely unfunny
Quite an achievement by the writer, to misfire so completely with every single line.Comment

Janis.
Gary Cooper's daughter is married to Byron Janis the pianist.
That song is by someone called Janis Ian
Who's the fat lady? Janis Joplin? Janis Battersby off Corrie? I have no idea...

"Dick Motta is sometimes erroneously credited with coining the celebrated phrase: The opera ain't over 'til the fat lady sings."
"Dick Motta and his wife Janice now operate a bed and breakfast, the Blue Bird Inn, across from the shores of Bear Lake in Fish Haven, Idaho. Motta now spends his summer mornings pouring orange juice for guests and discussing the local booming real estate market."
It's a long shot, but I couldn't resist it.
"....local booming real estate market." I wonder if it still is booming...?Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment
