Check out "Chill Factor" - that's a must for a PF fan. Totally ropey (and you'll probably want to shoot Cuba Gooding Jr after 5 mins) but it's Peter running around in combat gear with a big gun, and an American accent. Easily available on DVD.

Some of us are swapping PF's work via the PF Swap Shop in the Spooks area - you'd just have to become a Spook to join in.

Does anyone know if you can access PeterFirth.com without registering to their site? I've wanted to look up stuff before, but I can't be bothered to join another online forum...or rather be sucked in to another online forum. Undecided

Chill Factor was a fun movie. Agreed about Cuba Gooding Jr; but I still enjoyed watching it. Very stupid, but good for a laugh.

May PM you again about PF swap shop...Smile

You can look at the site without registering for the forum - they're separate. Lots of lovely photos on there, so really worth a look.

I'm confused - is Interview with a Serial Killer and White Angel the same movie?

Yes. Why? Dunno. Wink

RE: Peter Firth #2
White Angel is the British title, Interview with a Serial Killer is the American one. They often seem to feel the need to change titles for an American audience. Do you think they need to spell it out in case someone buys it thinking it's about goodness and then sues them for misrepresentation? They definitely seem to take an "it does exactly what it says on the tin" approach in the US!!
Feeling annoyed because the video of Letter to Brezhnev that I ordered from Amazon has not been sent. The seller says she checked it and it wasn't good enough quality so she's not going to send it. It's proving difficult to get hold of. The dvd seems to cost about 30 quid, so forget that, it's not in stock to rent from anywhere, and now I don't even seem to be able to get hold of a second hand video. Dodgy

RE: Peter Firth #2
OK, thanks.

Heh, I wonder if PF can pad his resume a little by listing both titles, and then for Spooks he can also list it as MI5.

But the homecoming is more complicated than she thinks and before long her ambitions are in conflict with her feelings for the man least likely to have won her heart – Robert Carne, the handsome, haunted gentleman farmer she clashes with.

Ain't it always the way? Damn those handsome, haunted gentlemen farmers! Big Grin

I am keeping abreast of this though because I am expecting it to make the leap across the Atlantic onto Masterpiece Classic at some point. These things have been moving much quicker than they used to....

Edited to add:

South Riding on Masterpiece Classic

Yipee!!!!!!!!

Hahaha! You crack me up. I hope we get to see this at some stage, although it doesn't really sound like my type of story. If PF has a decent role in it I might give it a go, though.

Looking forward to the comments of those that'll get to see it in Feb.

The BBC have just posted a couple of behind the scenes videos of South Riding which have interviews with the cast and crew. Here's the link:-

There are some great clips of PF and a couple of very very brief interviews with him............great to watch but I was trying to ignore the hair!!!!
