A lot of people have expressed a wish that people behind the scenes had recorded footage of Carol Ann Ford going into a regeneration in case something happens to her before the show comes back.

If you had one day of shooting with her in front if a green screen what would you have the actress say?

I'd go for

"Yes."

"No."

"It's me. I escaped."

"Ow! Oh no, I'm regenerating!"

"I can't believe the Abzorbaloff was the War Minister all along."

My boyfriend is Korean; I asked him if he'd seen Knives Out, he said yes and proceeded to describe a completely different film.

The plot he described was about a writer who'd just finished a book and translators from all over the world were called to translate it. However, someone's murdered (he couldn't remember if it was the writer or one of the translators) and a detective has to try and solve a case where no one speaks the same language.

He couldn't remember a year or if it was a Korean film or in English.

(I think this is also quite a good idea for a plot, so if no one comes up with anything, copyright my boyfriend.)

Should be fun

Pretty simple

Hint: this one uses some slang

I have a 20 quid note in my wallet. Everyone pitch in, we can probably sway them with, like, two hundred.

This is easy

Today I learnt Tom Hooper has a new film, Photograph 51, scheduled to come out in December, a biopic of a scientist starring Natalie Portman, which sounds pretty bait-y. If it makes that December release date, that's prime awards season.

Do you think Hooper can get out of director jail? Cats was famously hated and most of the blame fell (fairly deservedly) at his feet. Of course, people have come back after making flops, but there were also the stories of him berating VFX artists.

Also, do you think Portman could get a nomination despite the association with Hooper? He has directed some excellent performances, and she's normally great.

I'm predicting Hooper made too public a mess to eber be allowed back in (Mel Gibson was allowed back, but he's a much bigger name than Cooper) but I could picture Portman buzz, although I imagine the film won't make that much financially, which will hurt its chances.

I hope this is fair play.

I imagine this has appeared in a lot of crosswords but I haven't seen it that I remember.
