at last, some news about the film! \:D/

i still think they should keep NIGGER'S name though - for historical accuracy!

how about this for a mock-up though?

future Birfday prezzie for DT Mayfly? ;)

what else will they do with them once filming has finished? would look fab in your garden!

If they're not already, the filmmakers
ought to be using DT as an advisor!

.....mostly so Mayfly can get in on action
and WE can get on-location vids and photos!!!!!

What do YOU think, Pammy???????

hope not Mayfly - that's the wrong film! =))

good to see that the 617 veteran is still as sharp as a pin - when he said that the DVD version of the film is a little shorter due to a few bits being edited out - what's the betting it's 4:09 shorter? =))

ind isn't the Niw Zealind iccint dridful? :((

i think Mr. Titter might be weeting a long time to see THIT Lincister fly over his house! ~x(

I thought it sounded a bit suspect - when I saw the link [which I can't find now] & clicked for more film info it said release date was 28th Aug 09


oh well will just have to wait a bit longer then :(

Did anyone see the series with stephen Fry, Last chance to see?
They were looking for the Kakapo parrot and stopped by the hangar where they are building the Lancs (clearly visible in the back ground :D ) to talk to PJ about the Weta.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... ee_Kakapo/

I think it's on there somewhere if anyone's interested.
