9-0'clock tonight. Freeview 29. Brassed Off.

Pete Postlethwaites brilliant performance in a tale of a brass band crew suffering redundancy and hardship in a Yorkshire mining village. Fantastic music and listen out especially for the haunting Conciert Aranjuez solo. If you haven't seen it it's well worth watching. I've seen it three times and I'll be there again.

Love to have heard the Grimethorpe Colliery Band doing Ravel's Bolero. That would have made it perfection for me. :wink:

Watched it. A perfect example as to why Pete Postlethwaite is Britains best actor, and has been for some time.

Fantastic performance.

Garbage! It's quite clearly Daniel Radcliffe, closely followed by Ewan McGregor and that bloke who played Mr Claypole in Rentaghost.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Line of the film for me, Postlethwaite, pointing to a line of photographs of deceased band members:

"If this lot were alive today they'd be spinning round in their graves, I tell you" :P

Check out Frank Zappa's version of Bolero.
Will do. Always like a perspective or two on any music. Is it on Youtube?

Found the Zappa version on Youtube under "Bolero". Not quite von Karajan and the Berlin Philarmonic, but entertaining, althought the trombone player is a lousy dancer. :P
