Some people see things as they are and ask "Why?"; I dream of things that never were and ask "Why not?"

Definitely one I won't be watching. I'm not really the remotely interested in the Monarchy and give anything related to them a very wide berth. Does that qualify as treasonous Thoughful

    Yet you said you would be watching The Queen??. Anyway the one I watched was written by David Walliams and was funny because it made a mockery of the Monarchy. I don't think Walliams will be getting a knighthood anytime soon rofl

This is the one where Tom Cruise (famed for doing most of his own stunts) broke his ankle when he jumped from one roof to another. He was on Graham Norton with Simon Pegg just after the film was released and Simon told the tale of how Tom jumped and carried on running with this broken ankle.  They had to film round this for a couple of weeks...until he insisted on returning to the set. Jaw-dropping

They decided to leave the scene in for authenticity and yes, impressive indeed. I saw the Graham Norton show where he told the story.
