And I'm half way through watching The Vice - PF playing a really, really sleazy porn king. He does it very well, I must say.
Lucky thing, I have yet to find these but I will keep looking

PF usually does at least one of the morning shows in the lead up. But they may instead send Sophia Myles on her first turn around for the show, I expect - they are probably banking on her to bring in some of the younger viewers given her more recent choices as an actress.

PM me your address and I'll send you DVDs. Let me know what else you're looking for - I'll check if I have it.

A thought - open to discussion...
I've been swapping PF stuff with a couple of people recently - they have work of his that I don't and vice versa, etc. and I wondered whether others would like to do that, too. I was thinking of setting up a new thread just for people to tell others what stuff they have and would be willing to copy.
Importantly, no money changes hands - it's strictly friendly and swapping. If you've got nothing of PF's that the other person needs, then agree a swap of something else (postage stamps, chocolate, etc) just to cover that person's costs of making a DVD.
If I do go ahead with it (depending on reaction here), it'll have to be on The Grid, though, and it'll be strictly between Spooks. (If you're not a fully fledged Spook, it only costs a few bucks - why not jump in and join us?!!) It'll also be strictly on the basis that the Spooks Forum is not to be held responsible for stuff going missing in the post - we'll have to be grown up about it.
Thoughts?

Fab idea count me in hun

Got round to watching Me & Mrs Jones today. Well, lets just say our man Firth, sure can wear a suit! He looked fab. He played a chief aid to the Prime Minister, and played it quite camp (unusual for our Peter
) Certainly worth watching for the ties and waistcoats. As for the film itself. It was unique. Unique as it is the only film I have ever watched where every single character has been totally miscast. The PM and Harry were awful. As for the journalist Keeley Hawes played
Terrible, terrible, terrible !!

Actually, I think Peter was miscast, too - and totally wasted. Suits and waistcoats aside, he seems to have phoned that one in...

Filming what, TL?Can we expect to see the marvellous PF in something other than Spooks this year? Hope so.
Apparently yes. The boy's IMDb account has been updated to show that he will be in all 3 episodes of "South Riding" which is due to be shown on the BBC in Jan 2011. He is playing Alderman Snaith.
Hoping for a slightly bigger part than he had in Blood & Oil.

Well it promises to be a good series. Andrew Davies wrote the script to Pride and Prejudice, the one with Colin Firth in it. And the cast is great. But our lovely PF must be a long way down the cast list which is a shame
RE: Peter Firth - picard1109 - 18-09-2010 09:13 PM
Thanks for that, TL. I'm glad someone's finally updated his IMDB account, too - about time! Shame they haven't updated the photos, though.
