You keep me posted about Daniel's forthcoming nuptials ladies and gentlemen on the Forum so I can be ready when the priest/celebrant etc. asks if there is any reason why these 2 can't be married and all of us from the Forum are there to yell "YES", grab Daniel and take him away for infinite days and nights of debauchery amongst us all. Actually we won't let him go!!!

You kill me Sue....your posts have not changed since I first read them over a year ago....you're too funny...."clean" funny but funny all the same.

Goos news for us - as QOS won´t have to open against it, but the Potter fans are up in arms and I can quite understand it. Imagine - having QOS taken away from you for almost a year

Bond producer Barbara Broccoli joins UK Film board

James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has been appointed to the board of the UK Film Council, reports the BBC.

Broccoli, who is currently producing the forthcoming 007 adventure Quantum of Solace, is one of the UK film industry's most successful producers.

Her appointment was made by Culture Minister Margaret Hodge, and will run for four years.

Stewart Till, chairman of the UK Film Council, said he was "absolutely delighted" at Broccoli's appointment.

"She's produced some of the most successful films in the world," he said.

"Her understanding of how big budget British films get financed out of Hollywood is extensive and unique.

"Barbara will be an enormous asset for the UK Film Council in our efforts to attract inward investment into the UK film production sector."

Broccoli's first credited job on the Bond films was as assistant director on Octopussy followed by A View To A Kill.

Later, she became associate producer on The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill, a post she shared with the long-established Bond associate producer Tom Pevsner.

Broccoli was then made producer alongside her brother Michael G Wilson on GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day and the most successful Bond to date, Casino Royale.

Since 2004, Broccoli has also been chair of First Light Movies, an organisation which provides funding and expertise to enable five to 19-year-olds throughout the UK to create digital short films.

It receives £1.1m of National Lottery funding every year from the UK Film Council.

Yes, absolutely. If Dan and Satsuki are ever separated (hope that will never happen) I would like her to be the new one. They would make a great team and produce a new generation of Bond films

Seriously - she would be a good match for him IMO - and no doubt, she would be all for it.

Too cute. The funny thing is this doll looks more like Daniel than the wax museum piece.
