Who is the chief archaeologist? He looks familiar. James Donald Thanks. But as I've never heard of him, it must be that he looks like someone else. Been in loads if stuff but you only recall his physog That must be it. |

That is not an 'as you wish' that really means 'I love you' - quite the reverse! |

Been in loads if stuff but you only recall his physog That must be it. When I said WW2 films, he was in some of the 'biggies' In which We Serve One of Our Aircraft is Missing Bridge on the River Qwai The Great Escape and a lot of other stuff. No wonder he seems familiar. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

For those of you who haven't seen it before, do you think it's a trifle slow? Or are you happy with the pacing? |

But then, it's not designed to be. They're building tension, making you think. Not just blowing things up and shouting a lot (probably to make themselves heard above the unnecessary musak). "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Proper filing cabinet! Key benefit - easier to lose things you'd rather not keep. |

Good to see a rocket scientist branching out into the occult. Proper career development, that. |
