The only way I'll watch it is if Francesca Annis and James Warwick play T&T again. They could do it since they've aged in the book.

The CBC will be showing "By the Pricking of my Thumbs" tonight. I gather it isn't worth trying to flip back and forth between it and the Academy awards then....... The Oscars it is then!!!

I watched the first installment of "The Moving Finger" and I must admit, I didn't think it was that bad. I reserve judgment until I've seen the 2nd part, though!
