    Good review. I loved Mark Gatiss as Bamber Gascoigne in this film. he got him completely. But then I am old enough to remember the original!
    Best wishes, Pete.

      Thanks so much Pete!

      I love Mark Gatiss, he’s such a charming man and very clever and he loves horror! I must confess I never knew Bamber first hand from watching UC – I grew up on Paxman 🙂 but I have no doubt that his performance was sterling.

      Best wishes to you too!

    Did the raunchy Shameless link work Emma? And if it did, what did you think? hehe.

    All I remember from bits of Shameless is fighting, drugs and a whole lot of shagging going on.

    I take it from the comments, you were a fan of Shameless. I caught some of it when it was on but I don’t know I felt about it. Would you advise a rewatch Emma?

    Great review Emma, have to agree with what the telltale mind said, McAvoy looks so young in this.

    A coming-of-age movie with James McAvoy and Benedict Cumberbatch and I’ve never heard of it? What is wrong with me?! You’re like my new go-to person for good things I’ve never seen. Well done!

      And you’re mine!!!!!

      This is just a small little English film, it probably wasn’t a huge movie at the time. In fact I barely ever hear anyone talk about it and if I hadn’t read the book I doubt I would ever have watched it.

      It’s on Netflix UK so fingers crossed (I’m crossing my fingers and it’s hard to type) it’s on your Netflix too!!!!!!!

      Thanks Justine 🙂 your genre choice was AMAZING! I love these sorts of films so looking forward to more and more recommendations!! And your review of course 🙂

  10. I think it’s funny how young McAvoy and Cumberbatch look in this.
