[Heid the Ba]

The film also ends here.

[tubeswell]

Is this a sort of Dickensian era crime-solver filum?

[Heid the Ba]

Just post-Dickens, no crimes involved.

[g-one]

Does David Bowie play Tesla in it?

[Heid the Ba]

No, the film is much older than that.

[tubeswell]

set in the 20th century?

[Heid the Ba]

Set in the 1870s, over a period of about three months.

[Heid the Ba]

Starts and ends in the same place, film takes place in just under three months.

[tubeswell]

British empirish militaristic themed filum then?

[Heid the Ba]

Sort of, but not the Empire, but an individual and his manservant.

[Arneb]

Starts there, ends there Victorian Enlgand, mostly outside London, man and servant, under three months...

Sounds like Around the World in 80 Days. If there is such a film.

[Heid the Ba]

There is indeed, starring noted Scotsman David Niven.

[Arneb]

Oh gosh, now I have to find something...

ETA: I just gave the Son his first Jules Verne novel to read. It si now sitting among the growing stack of half-read books on his nightstand. We'll see about it.

[Heid the Ba]

While we wait for Arneb, this castle appears in which recent film? I haven't seen the film, though I have seen the castle.

[Lianachan]

Think it's in one of those awful superhero films that's like watching a load of toy cars and action figures going round in a tumble drier for two hours. One of the Avengers series.

[Heid the Ba]

They certainly look like that from the trailers, which is why I haven't seen most of them. It is an Avengers, and to be honest I can't remember which one. Age of Ultron? Someone I spoke to last week was terribly excited about having seen the castle, someone who was far too old to be marking out like that.

Over to you sir.

[Lianachan]

I've seen more of them than I'd have liked to.

Next up.

[Heid the Ba]

No idea, but that is a good looking castle.

[Lianachan]

It's a cracker. Two of the most famous scenes of the film were shot in places you can see in that photo - at the gate, and on top of the biggest tower.

[Heid the Ba]

Is it Medievally?

[Lianachan]

Sort of, aye. A bit earlier than what most people would think of as medieval, but yes.

[Arneb]

Not a Harry Potter flick, by any chance?

[Lance]

Were coconuts involved?

[Мастер]

Were coconuts involved?

Migrating coconuts?

[Lance]

Were coconuts involved?

Migrating coconuts?

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
