Anyway, purely following my fellow bloggers.....If we are staking claims on parts of the set.......Please may I have Aidan Turner....I promise I will look after him ( if you remember..many weeks/months ago. I was the first to be identified by YOU as having EML... Excessive Mitchell Love) So who better to give the vampire a good home ??. Please look kindly on a sad, demented.......ohh you know the rest.

Ok someone with better ears - does Aidan do an english accent in d.r he only says one line in the trailer and I cant tell whether he's doing an accent I didnt think so but its just been on again and I thought maybe he did...I know its on tomorrow but it's really bugging me lol
By the way did anyone just see diagnosis murder? ive become a little obsessed with it since schools shut for summer lol anyway it was about a vampire - proper old style effects very funny :-P

I know ive been playing with the zoom thing its brilliant isnt it - millais really was fantastic but the trailer was just on the telly after the vampire episode of diagnosis murder lol

At 20th Jul 2009, superOchre wrote:Agreed. I won't elaborate but seriously, draw a self portrait when you're bored, but only allow yourself 15 mins. I came out looking like Kate Moss. This didn't go unnoticed by the loud mouthed-eejit sitting next to me, who apparently copied himself on Brad Pitt. It is really difficult. I guess it's the same as FB photos now.
