Her out of the airship one. Charlie?

A Very Peculiar Practice

Date: 2009-01-12 11:50 pm (UTC)...I wonder if you can get it on dvd?
Re: A Very Peculiar Practice
Date: 2009-01-13 12:14 am (UTC)And it's out of print, so the MIB's ethical standards might be subvertible!
There are some clips on Youtube - here are the credits with theme tune and a nun playing hopscotch

And I can quote Wikipedia too - I really am a nerd!
The theme tune, We Love You was performed by UK singer, Elkie Brooks.

Date: 2009-01-12 11:50 pm (UTC)No I ain't seen it - does it involve doctors being, well, doctors? *g* I've had a lot of weird consultant clinics recently (things I did not expect to discuss in general surgery outpatients (1) the sex life of Oscar Wilde (2) how you spell the surname of the person who wrote Catch-22)
Incidentally, I loved the All Creatures Great and Small books *g*
