Ha, I'm glad you had something to cheer you up! I haven't seen very much of Up Pompeii, although my Dad did make me watch some repeats when I was a teenager. Does it have Barbara Murray in it, or is that one of the related films? (We did enjoy watching Up the Chastity Belt before that, although I dread to think what it's actually like now!!) I do remember "And now the prologue..." though. Which I think is the important thing. :-)
ETA: btw, I am currently, if slowly, watching Amistad (you can guess why) and obv it is very good, but I am also amused at the same time because everybody in it is British!! I keep thinking we must have exhausted the supply of Brits pretending to be Americans, and then another one turns up! Peter Firth surprised me the most, although he is excused, because he was actually being British in it. (I thought he was in Heartbeat around then, because he joined my library I worked at some time around then while he was filming it up there. I wasn't there at the time, and my workmates couldn't prove this because the library burned down between those two events, sadly.)
Anyway, I'm beginning to think that people should stop joking about the UK only have 20 actors, because clearly we have at least 30-40, but the other half of them are all in the US pretending to be American. XD
(I am v tired, excuse me not having anything sensible to say.)
ETA2: And Stellan Skarsgard. There are some people in this I am confident are actually definitely Americans and they are Morgan Freeman.
