[brendon]

Just to let you know this lovely film is on this week.wed on BBC2 @ 2pm...but re check to see this is the correct time?? well worth setting the video /dvd as it is a great family film and must be the best film that covers the world of eventing,lovely musical score too..also this film is not as yet on the market in dvd form..I dont know why the video is on ebay at £26 + so a rarety indeed???If you or the family havent seen it you will get a nice surprise as they dont seem to make films like this anymore???When we lived in Peterborough the Key Theatre there was contacted as the film was being part filmed in part at BURGHLEY HOUSE in nearby Stamford..so lots of staff got the job as acting as extras in the film..they must have used the horse trials jumps ..and also XC course...also some filming at Arena North at Charnock Richard?? is that still there....any road enjoy the film folks

. . . ummm. . . . it's on at 11am actually. As for the best eventing themed film ever, I think it's about the ONLY eventing-themed film ever!

 

[PapaFrita]

Well, there IS Sylvester...

 

[Faithkat]

Sylvester?

 

[PapaFrita]

Yep

Not bad, actually. Slyvester

 

[Faithkat]

Looks interesting. I've never come across it. It says it's a family movie and then refers to "Charlie being raped"!!!

It's a great film and great music in it too.

Makes it look a bit easy though lol, I was unpleasantly surprised when I wasn't selected for the Olympic team after my first SJ comp

Anyone got any screen cleaners?

 

[_April_]

[PapaFrita]

Nahh! There's a bit of a fumble in a pickup truck but she gets away and he gets sacked (they work for the same bloke)

Yep best film ever, been waiting for it to come on again only got the last half hour last time...soooo glad you've told us!!!

 

[serena2005]

is it 11am or 2pm? im confused?? really wanna again!

 

[brendon]

are you referriing to the rape scene??i cant say i recall this..has iot been cut???

 

[PapaFrita]

In Sylvester there is an attempted rape scene. It's pretty tame as this sort of scene goes (just a bit of a fumble really), in keeping with the 'family film' status.
