I saw this the other day on one of my satellite movie channels and just cracked up. , I enjoyed it enough, that I picked up a DVD of it on ebay. , There are a lot of small ,incidents in the movie ,that were poorly handled, mostly by Rhys Ifans, but I must include this movie in my guilty pleasure box. , Having the DVD is great, because I can skip any part that sets my teeth on edge and enjoy the best parts. Great stuff from down under...Mad Max, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and now....Danny Deckchair.

My DVD collection rests somewhere just north of 1000 titles. I have to admit that most of "Jane's" recent hits are included...Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma et.al. My guilty pleasure box is fairly large and runs from Action to Anime to Romance, though I do like my action leavened with a bit of romance. Being retired means never having to say, "I just don't have time to read that book or see that movie." My current backlog of purchased but not viewed DVDs stands at about 40 items.
I'm a big Francesca Annis fan and have recently picked up a lot of her work including Wives and Daughters, Lillie, Penny Gold, and some great Agatha Christie Tommy and Tuppence shows. I think I fell a little in love (lust?) with her when I first saw her in David Lynch's Dune, and she was great, along with Robson Green, in Reckless. I too am a great fan of the BBC. Another British actress I've enjoyed over the years is Susan Hampshire, and I've recently picked up a lot of her work including her breakthrough role in Vanity Fair. This could go on forever, so I'm stopping now.

Fiona, I've watched all the Monarch of the Glen episodes broadcast here and enjoyed them, although I was initially a little offput by Archie's marriage to Lexie. I thought Katrina was the girl for him, perhaps because my daughter's name is Katrina. They could have written her ( Lorraine Pilkington's) real pregnancy into the script
. Susan as Molly still looks great and wonderfully carries off her character as a somewhat wistfully innocent widow with an underlying steel-girded sophistication that occasionally shows itself. I'm still sorry that Hector (Richard Briers) blew himself up, or rather that his dog Stupid did. I loved him in Good Neighbors.
I first really noticed Robson in Wire in the Blood and the delightful, romantic comedy Me and Mrs. Jones (one of my guilty pleasures). When I noticed that Reckless, starring two of my favorite Brits, was coming to TV, I had to watch it. Loved it and it's sequel, Reckless the Movie enough that I own the DVDs. The Reckless story is romantic, exciting, and at times frustrating. If you like RG, you need to see the mini-series and the concluding movie, which ties up the loose ends left by the series. I suppose the pressure was on the series producers to wrap up the mini-series storyline, which the movie does with several amusing twists.
