A pal was one of the directing crew on this - nice little quirky film I thought you might enjoy

We were receiving hilarious updates through the night from the Oscars party, as he was rubbing shoulders with the A list biggrin

It was on BBC1 over the weekend. Very enjoyable.
I can imagine the party is still going on!

Watched it on iplayer at the weekend. It's only about 25 minutes long. Wonderful film with a lovely twist at the end.
Singing happy birthday to him at the Oscars was a nice thing to do.

I didn't realise it was a short, when I sat down to watch it - I also never noticed the running time when I hit play on iPlayer.

Was a bit of a damp squib of a "movie night" for her indoors biggrin

I’m going to watch it tonight. I work with the Uncle of one of the directors. About as close to Hollywood as I’ll ever get!

Yep, I enjoyed that. Quite a simple idea, but well executed. Some amusing, unexpected bits too.

Really enjoyed that. Funny with a decent coating of pathos.

Also registered in UK rather than Eire.

ETA: It seems the film was set in Tyrone, so fair enough. getmecoat
