I just finished Edwardian House.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now tagless for your comfort.
Trudy, I only got through the first 3 hours and had to leave. I was enjoying it so much. You're talking about the lord of the manor, right?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Great, the nation just got Buffy back in line and now Angel goes out of synch.
Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth are going to be a week behind b/c 7 have pre-empted this week's AtS for a two hour episode of The Jury.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a Manor House question (Edwardian Country House or whatever they called it there...): Did they ever do a reunion-type show? I'd love to see more of the people in their real lives and hear how they felt about the experience later -- see if the couple resigned themselves to living their real lives again (favorite line from milady: "It's so easy to throw a party here!" Um, yeah. You just tell your staff of 12 to do it.), see what's up with Kenny and Ellen, see Charlie...nah, that's it. Just see Charlie.

Jesse, there is a lot on the website.
Charlie and Ellen broke up but are still friends. Everybody seems to be fond of Mr. Edgar still.
They should re-cut the whole thing with MORE TRISTAIN

"When's the last time you saw a trailer that made the crowd ooh and cheer?"
I was going to reply to this in the movie thread, but I thought I'd ask something in here first before I got all 'Well, as I can safely speak for all 19 million Australians'. So, Aussies - is it just my town, or do we just not cheer in the cinema?
Seriously, I can't remember ever being in an audience where we collectively cheered at something, whether it be a cool trailer or Leo Dicaprio dying while resembling a frosty-fruit. There's lots of laughing, sniffling, annoying crinkling of junk-food wrappers and Legolas got an 'oooh' for his horsey stunt in TTT, but that's about it, in my experience. It's odd, I'm suddenly really curious about this.

No, it's not just you, Leigh; it's never happened to me either. The biggest audible audience reaction I've ever heard to a film is a polite round of applause when they rolled the closing credits. (Apart from involuntary ones like laughter, gasps etc.)

It's my feeling that audiable responses to films are minimal, too. Maybe a round of applause, but not always. Laughter normally quelled quickly. It's one of the things that makes going to the cinema so very different to seeing a play live.
Not that that in any way relates to the question, because my experience is all in Britian.

My hunch would be that Britain and Australia would be similar in this respect (and probably continental Europe too...or is there a north/south split in Europe on audience participation perhaps? And does it happen all over North America, eg what about Canada?) As you can see Leigh has actually touched on a minor obsession of mine too!
BTW, I'll mention this here rather than Beep Me because I don't want to cause a mass outpouring (!) but in the past couple of days I've been getting symptoms that are a little bit reminiscent of last year's big health crisis. So some healthy vibes would be appreciated. If anything happens (ie if I end up in hospital) I'll let Plasmo know. Although I'm actually feeling a fair bit better than I was 24 hours ago, so fingers crossed.
