Hi crew Pat I wouldn't be popular with others at home if I was on the computer all afternoon and it is your early morning. I doubt I will be watching any of Hitch's films during the Christmas period. Last year and early this year one of the channels had a programme called 'Vault' or something like around eleven at night through to two in the morning with a local host introducing the featured film making relevant comments. It featured several of Hitchcock's films I never got to watch them although I did tape 'The Birds' which I still haven't watched it. I don't think I would popular with my wife if I put on the tape as she doesn't like horror films. Anyway where is our host Winter? Is she lost in Narnia? Speaking of Narnia, I won the complete set of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' in a radio competition - the question asked was to name the music the station was playing along with the male and female leads - the answer being 'Exodus' with Paul Newman and Eve Marie Saint.

No staying power in NZ John? its 2.25am here & us ladies are such diehard film buffs combined with night owl & attitude well Christine has plenty when I stand behind her & tell her she has LOL Watch Hitch films over the Christmas you won't regret it John. Pat x

Ok John, see you tomorrow maybe. Take care and have a good day Christine

Pat - it was Google who gave the answers, not Jeeves this time. Christine its almost quarter past three in the afternnoon time for a break I think.

No John, you know me by now....a night owl. Quiz away! Christine

Hi Christine There have been several parades around but I haven't seen any. One went pass our church a month ago which was one of the first Christmas parades. Are you quizzed out?

WOW woke up or got yourself off the floor then mate LOL no I shall behave Ingrid she is one of the best. People say some actors of actresses that have presence are great but they are not great actors and actresses, i think Bette DAvis especially and Ingrid take some beating. Don't know if there is anyone who can beat them today :-( Can't remember you may be right Christine know Tippi has a famous daughter, Tippi isn't really an actress she was a model she looked good and sometimes Hitch got caught up with that rubbish. Blimey John lol well done reckon the butler has earned his keep tonight :-))) Does it spur you to watch more Hitchcock films then? Pat x

Hi John , have you had the Santa Parade yet....I remember you speaking about it this time last year. Christine

Went searching and found this 1. REBECCA 2. LAURENCE OLIVIER 3. THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH 4. PSYCHO 5. FOUR 6. INGRID BERGMAN 7. TIPPI HEDREN 8. FRENZY 9. MR AND MRS SMITH 10 FAMILY PLOT Catchup with you next time

Yes Ingrid Bergman was a brilliant actress. Liked The Birds and Marnie films but I never thought Tippi Hedren was a very good actress. Is she the one that is Melanie Griffiths mother? Think she runs a sanctuary for Big Cats now doesn't she? Christine

LOL You gone then dear fallen off the chair or what LOL Pat x

Yes Christine ok when I said that I hadn't read the answers lol. Yes you are right its Ingrid Bergman my favourite she was in Spellbound, Notorious, Under Capricorn She would be one of my all time great actresses. Hitch liked his blondes hence Kim Novak (liked her), Janet Leigh, Doris Day, Tippi Hedrin, Marlene Dietrich etc., Pat x

If I googled I think I might have done a bit better than that Pat! LOL Well number 7 must be Ingrid Bergman...she was in a few of his. He did tend to stick to his favourites didn't he? Christine

Oh John you miss so much when you don't see ALL of Hitchcocks films think he was a genius loved his stuff. Maori reggae is different because it aint Jamaican Christine. No its kept to the roots side of things which is my style Jamey sent me a private message as well, can't be bad can it? Its really laid back catchy music that really makes you feel cool. With guinness its the biz. OK Hitchcock coming up poor John will be all at sea, may it will tempt him to check Hitchcock films out. Pat x

Hi again Pat, I have seen only two Hitchock films righ through 'Torn Curtain' and the second version of 'The man who knew too much' - the opening segments of 'Psycho' and 'The Birds' Shame isn't it.

Hi there, I'm still here....was having a wee wander. So how does Maori reggae differ from Jamaican reggae? or is there any difference? This is what is confusing about Donald Crisp John.....this is what you find on other sites Donald Crisp 1880 - 1974 Actor, film director and producer. Born in Aberfeldy, Scotland, he emigrated to the U.S. in 1906. Despite having acted in more than 400 Holywood films, being an accomplished director and taking a leading role in film financing, Crisp became known as Scotland's forgotten actor. So don't know which one is correct? Christine

Oops sory John yes Roddy McDowall was in that with Donald Crisp who we were talking about do you fancy ten Hitchcock questions? I have 20 all together thought I'd split it up. Has Christine disappeared? Pat x
